Part I: Pandemonium Begins

“Society is falling apart”, one Pastor remarked. The pastor was holding services at the Wedgwood Baptist church in a middle class neighborhood. The location was on the edge of Fort Worth, Texas. The state which has the death penalty and a former governor named George Bush who oversaw 100 death penalty convictions. Texas is a state which by all accounts should not see such things as rapidly spreading violence, violence which tonight would make society aware of a man unknown until now. Larry Ashbrook, who was anti-religious in a way that the attractions of religion could not outweigh his inner demons made a fateful decision. On this night, Larry would make society aware of whom he was. He walked into the Wedgwood Baptist church and unloaded three magazines of bullets from a nine-millimeter semi automatic pistol before shooting himself. When all was said and done, three teenagers and three adults were killed with a fourth teen dying at the hospital. Seven others were treated in area hospitals. In this, Pandemonium reigned.

The living Church of God met at a local Sheraton hotel. The conference room was just the right size and provided a nice place for the believers to gather for worship. In Brookfield, a suburb of Milwaukee, many congregations gathered for such meetings. After all, this is America, home of Free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, all rights guaranteed by our constitution. The pastor, though, had made an enemy. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that one of the pastors sermons which “talked about people’s problems are of their own making” had made a local congregant named Terry Ratzmann angry. The Forty four year old walked into the Sheraton and found the local congregation where he had been meeting and unloaded 22 bullets from his 9 mm handgun. Within minutes the pastor, the pastor’s son, and five other church members were dead, four others wounded, and Ratzmann killed himself. Pandemonium had again reigned.

Youth with a mission had sent out countless young people on missions for the Lord. The missions group was world wide, and had seen many miracles for the Lord. The YWAM located in Arvada, a suburb of Denver, was a training center for such young people. They also had an office at one of the biggest churches around at the 10,000 member New Life Church in Colorado Springs. During December of 2007, Matthew Murray found his way to the YWAM center where he had been involved for a short while. He later went over to the New Life Church. On both visits, Murray made sure history and America remembered him. He unloaded his weapon, killing himself and four others, while wounding five people. Murray had come from a religious Christian household. Pandemonium again reigned.

America is a melting pot, but today, society is becoming more and more pushed to the limit. With the many stresses today, mere religion is becoming unable to handle the massive troubles facing society. What lukewarm religious ideas do to the soul, so does too much salt, it is good for nothing but to be thrown out. But that statement would be considered by many to be only an opinion. But the frequency of violence in our society and violence to those in the mainstream churches are not opinion. The events mentioned above are factual, they occurred. No more to be considered opinion as if it occurs, the question now is, what must we do? To understand this, know that America is not just one Christian nation today. It has become a melting pot.

Religion-cults.com, whose own sources, currently reveals that there are approximately 10,000 astrologers and 300,000 witches practicing in the USA. Along with these figures, add to the mix the American people, 40 million of them, who consult the horoscope. Even former President Reagan was known to have a White house Astrologer. Then figure in 8,000 members of the satanic church and 20,000 santero priests working their magic arts in Miami and New York alone and the picture grows even more. Now add the phenomenon of Harry Potter whose blatant use of Witchcraft has grown tremendously. The Barna research mentions that 84 percent of teens have personally read or watched Harry Potter. Add to this that 77 percent of so called born again Christian teens have seen or watched Potter as well and you have a solid picture of what is influencing our society.

Part II: Viral Memes of Pandemonium

Do we blame violence on all those who are not Christian? Of course, we cannot and should not. For even Christians, so named, but not actually, have committed horrendous crimes against others since the betrayal of Jesus Christ. The problem we have though is perception. Many times what we see as truth is actually false. It is brought to us in the guise of clever manipulations. We call this deception. As a matter of fact, many governments today even practice this. For point of an example, take the US Air Force Office of Special Investigations. It consists of more than 2900 federal agents and support personnel. This special investigative office dates back to 1948. One such agent was Richard Doty, who co-authored “Exempt from Disclosure”, and has gone on record about clever manipulations. His on record comments suggest that there are times when lying to the public is okay.

“There are times when you deceive the public you are doing the public a great service and I certainly protect the public with deception operations if it were for their own good.” [starstreamresearch.com/inside_the_spy_game.htm]

He has been the subject of much controversy, but his comments, would never be accepted by many in any public office today. As we know, the government never lies, it just stretches the truth. That which stretches the truth, that bit of cultural information which will evolve in a way, just as Richard Dawkins in 1976 wrote in his book ‘The Selfish Gene’ spoke of it as a virus, aka ‘viral internet memes’.
“Propagating from one organism to another and subject to all the analogous unintended mutations”.

As we walk down this path, let us realize that the organism is speaking to society today on many fronts. From the churches and pastorates we hear how blessed we are, even one top Pastor, whom I will not name, who said that “God told me, to have it all”. Fame, fortune, prosperity, and popularity, you can have it all. When society seems to be breaking down and violence, murder, rape, and economic stability all seem to be in the news, we hear voices that represent what we call God, say, “relax, you can have it all.” Of course, it doesn’t matter what the scripture may really say. It doesn’t matter, for the memes here, or the so called ‘mind virus’ is that aspect which says, don’t listen to anyone else. Everything is fine, America is blessed, you can live to be a 120, have everything your heart desires, and God would have it no other way. This is the viral memes affecting many today.

But the truth is Pandemonium is coming full circle. This sub god, whose own obeisance is to the God of Chaos, then to the Son of Perdition (2 Thess 2), and finally to Lucifer will continue its work. I found on one website, aptly named ‘pandemonium today’ the main thrust of its thought. That is “Chaos brings me great joy for clarity comes with the afterglow. Pandemonium may indeed be the minimal amelioration requirement. Aggravate with me, we shall toast on the other side”. The other side, of course, that that which comes out of Pandemonium, which is chaos, and out of chaos, comes order. To this end, Lucifer is working. For in order for the son of Chaos to arrive as the one of perdition, chaos must greet him. In order for Jesus Christ, the Messiah to arrive, establishing his kingdom, the son of chaos must arrive, and the earth will have its birth pangs. Thus, out of pandemonium, arrives chaos, out of which comes order.

We find the Greeks first playing with this word Pandemonium. It was here, in Greek culture that the story of Pan began. He was depicted as a man with horns, legs, tail of a goat with a thick beard, stub nose, and pointed ears. It was this Pan, whom they called God of shepherds and flocks, of mountain wilds, hunting, and rustic music. He wandered the country playing pan-pipes and chasing Nymphs. It might be understood here, that Pan used music as his main enjoyment. His actions produced feelings of panic. Also let us consider that the New American Heritage Dictionary defines “muse”, that part which we derive music from, as “the spirit or power regarded as inspiring and watching over people, poets, and musicians.” It should be stated that this “muse” or spirit has the ability to influence all who listen to it. From this we find that ‘music’ can be one of the biggest weapons Pandemonium would use. From this consider the blood rock, hard rock, and satanic rock that highlights many CD and DVD albums today. Each lyric inspired by an ancient spirit, each lyric becomes a prayer; each prayer is prayed every time anyone repeats it. Thus, Pandemonium has many weapons, and other’s with whom his objective is shared.

Thus, we find in pandemonium that his unseen presence aroused feelings of panic. Out of this we find our word pandemonium. Made of two works, pan and daemon (evil spirit, demon), pandemonium is first found in Melton’s, ‘Paradise lost’ and is the capital of Hell. The word denotes an extreme state of confusion and disorder. Further it denotes, bedlam, chaos, topsy-turvy Dom, confusion, disorder resulting from a failure to behave predictably. How easy would it be for such a demon, aptly named Pandemonium, to bring forth his bedlam and chaos from human emotions of rage, jealousy, hatred, variance, and strife? The results would be co-opted with spirits of murder, bloodshed, rape, and every other evil. Thus we find the following, being tempted.

James 1:14  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

Let us also consider this as well, for scriptures bluntly point out that distress and perplexity will be upon the nations. Is America so different? Nay, not at all!

Luke 21:25  And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26  Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

As we watch the takeover of America, let us realize that our safety doesn’t rest in other gods, people, flesh, or methods. We can only find safety in the Lord Jesus Christ. Surely it will come and not delay. For even now, Pandemonium wrecks havoc in our society, with chaos not far away. The time will come when chaos will reign fully. When it does, America and her system will give way to the rise of the ‘son of perdition’, and the beast kingdom found in Revelation. All those who are continuing in their messages of peace and prosperity will be found wanting. For the rest of those souls I suggest this, Fast, Pray, Seek the LORD as never before, and pray Luke 21:36.

Revelation 3:14  ¶And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
