How should a servant of God be reacting to such a horrific event, such as the derailing of Amtrak Train 188?
The below is a transcript of the latest WBC video production, which you can watch here: http://signmovies.com/?tab=news&vid=20150516Amtrak
On Tuesday night, May 12, Amtrak commuter train 188 derailed, shortly after leaving Philadelphia on its way to New York. The train’s black box reveals that it was traveling at 106 mph as it entered a curve with a speed limit of 50 mph. The engineer applied the full emergency brakes 3 seconds before all 7 cars of the train flew off the track, creating a mangled pile of steel and flesh. If only we had song fit for the occasion! [Insert WBC parody of Ozzy’s “Crazy Train.”] So far 8 are confirmed dead, and over 200 are injured, with several still unaccounted for. The train’s engineer, was 32 year old Brandon Bostian, of Queens NY. Brandon is badly injured, and says that he doesn’t remember anything about the crash. Reactions to this event have been predictable: The 24 hour, talking heads, news cycle uses it as grist for their bloody, hateful, godless, soul damning mill. They lead the charge in the lionizing, and hero worship of those that died in the crash. Politicians are crying for regulation, and technological ways to keep such a crash from happening. Philadelphia’s Mayor, Michael Nutter, lashes out at the engineer: “there is no excuse that can be offered. There is no reasonable, rational explanation. He was clearly reckless and irresponsible.” While that may well end up being the case, Nutter panders to the mob by foolishly answering the matter before he’s heard it.
So, how should a servant of God be reacting to such a horrific event? Start with this: Micah 6: 9 “The LORD’S voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.” This is no accident! God Almighty – the Sovereign King, the Creator of all things seen and unseen – is speaking to you, America! He is speaking to you Philadelphia! He is speaking to you, Michael Nutter! He is speaking to you, Brandon Bostian! The Lord has mercifully preserved your life on this day, so hear ye the rod!
As for all of this talk about regulations and technology measures, like Positive Train Control: Knock yourselves out – see how that works out for you! You can pass more laws, create more regulations, and spend more billions (that we don’t have) on technology, and it will all be for naught! Nimrod thought that he could build the Tower of Babel, and thereby thwart God’s ability to destroy a la the Flood – how well did that work for him? You are fighting a losing battle against the symptoms of the problem. You are trying to overcome the power and wrath and curses of the Almighty God, when the cause and the solution are so painfully obvious! Obey God and live! Obey God, and he will bless you!
What do we say about the people that died in that crash? A 20 year old Navy man, a 39 year old CEO and social activist, a Senior VP at a financial institution, a 42 year old PHD and University Dean, a Video software architect, etc. Most of them married, with children. These were some of the best and brightest of this nation; the Lord blessed them with resources, gifts, and skills, and then he cut them off in their prime! The objective evidence – the fruit of their doings – is that they are in hell. There is not one word being said about these people having a fear of God before their eyes, or using their resources and energies in this life to warn, and thereby love their neighbor. Let’s hear what the Lord Jesus said about such people dying in such a way: Luke 13:4,5 “…think ye that they were sinners above all men … ? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Hear the voice of the Lord! Repent, or you will soon split hell wide open when you depart this earth! There is no other help, and there is no other hope! Despite all of your efforts, it takes only a mere word, a mere gesture, from Jehovah, the Man of War – simply a flick of an Angel’s wing – and catastrophe, terror, death, and hell are upon you!
Luke 12:20,21 “20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Another life that was destroyed in this crash is that of the engineer, Brandon Bostian. His fault, or not, he will carry this with him for the rest of his days. Our message to you is the same, Mr. Bostian – Repent or Perish! You are an anti-Christ. You have spent out your days on this earth pursuing the lust of your flesh (which in your case is fag sex), and being an activist, insisting that the people of this nation bow down and call your abominable sex practices holy. You have now seen the wrath of God – up close and personal – will you repent, or will you harden your heart against the Lord, and his righteous judgment, being condemned already, cursing him to his face, and go straight ahead to your destruction.
Proverbs 22:“3 ¶ A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.”
And now we come to Mayor Nutter: This pandering, craven politician is a member of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in Philadelphia, and yet he is a fag enabler extraordinaire – having pushed for fag marriage, and even using his position to personally officiate fag weddings. Shame on you, Michael! Shame on all of you at the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church – you show yourselves to be Satan’s whorehouse! The blood of the dead in that train wreck is all over your hands! The Lord gave you a platform, and thereby you have a duty to use that platform to execute righteous judgments – you went away backward, and did that which is abominable – provoking the people to sin – and now the Lord is dealing with you to your face! Hear ye the Rod, and who hath appointed it! God will not have same-sex marriage, Mr. Nutter, and you’re nuttier than squirrel poo, if you think that He will sit quietly by, while you spit in his face! Repent or perish!
Proverbs 1:20 ¶ Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: 21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, 22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.”
Amen.
