Chilling Words Sound Like Bible Prophecy

I was stunned this morning as I listened to the chilling video rantings of a madman on the morning news. The gunman from Virginia Tech has sent videos and a manifesto to NBC News. Here is an excerpt from some of his rant:

"Your Mercedes wasn't enough, you brats," said Cho, a South Korean immigrant whose parents work at a dry cleaners in Centreville, Va., a Washington suburb. "Your golden necklaces weren't enough you snobs. Your trust funds wasn't enough. Your vodka and cognac wasn't enough. All your debaucheries weren't enough. Those weren't enough to fulfill your hedonistic needs. You had everything."

It made my hair stand up! I know that this way of thinking won't be popular, but, could it be that God is trying to tell us something? Wouldn't it be just like God to speak through a madman? Would we listen if it came from someone calm and serene? Will we listen if it comes through the mouth of a mass murderer? I doubt it. Dian.

There is something very serious behind all of this.
This sounds like brainwashing, I don't know by whom and why?
Recently I read that weapon of this century would be mind control.
Other thing is that kids every day are training to be such murderers from the video games.
We are at the end.

Dear brothers and sisters,

I want to ask you this, with as much gentleness as I can express to you here. I am nothing and I know that there can be many things that do not appear to me that may appear to others, or to you all, but brothers and sisters, I do not know why we would even want to watch this, or to hear this man's words?

I do not know why.

Chris

God was no where in any of that.

Is this society debauched? Yea, but this guy was motivated by what he perceived as people persecuting him.

I am not prepared to write off this man as a “but”, an acceptation, an insane demoniac, or in other words, a non-representation of our society. He is a product of our society, and none of us can so easily wash our hands from the problem.

There are all kinds of people around like him – hundreds of thousands. Not all of them end up like this one did, but the potential is there! We are living on one enormous landmine of human dynamite, with latent inner rage as the fuse. We will never “get it” if we just put these kind of people into a separate little categories – like some sort of spiritual mutations.

I know that this way of thinking won't be popular, but, could it be that God is trying to tell us something? Wouldn't it be just like God to speak through a madman?

Would we listen if it came from someone calm and serene?

Will we listen if it comes through the mouth of a mass murderer? I doubt it.

The book of Haggai reflects this modern-day trend. The post-exilics should have had divine judgment fresh on their minds. Some of them would have lived through the capture of Jerusalem. Yet they were already wandering from him, absorbed in the temporal issues of life.

Five times Haggai warns the people to take note; “Give careful thought to your ways.” I like the way the Message translation puts it: “Take a good hard look at your life. Think it over….” Haggai was telling the people to open their eyes and notice that even though they have been trying very hard, they were getting no where. In spite of the obvious, the people were blind to the fact that divine judgment had fallen on them. They just weren’t getting it - until Haggai put it into words (given by God). The good news is that the people listened to Haggai, quite readily!

Have we really evolved into something better the ancient peoples? I suspect that we’d like to think so.

No, nothing this evil, demon possessed man said came from God.

Sane men of God have said the same thing and God does speak with such strong language. If you think it goes against the nature of God, then you're talking about a sizable amount of text in scripture, Brother.

God has to be in it somewhere. Otherwise, we have to believe that the Holocaust and 911 and this tragedy happened just because some devil got a hold of some wicked men and we were left to their mercy.

No, I don't believe that. I believe this type of thing is prelimary judgement and for us to say, "we didn't deserve it" is evidence of our lack of recognition of our sin. Of course, we deserve it. A bullet through the head by a mad gunman is merciful compared to an eternity in hell. I am that idiot. He is me. And you. But for the grace of God...

Our nation needs to wake up. And we, as believers, need to take responsibility for our brother (meaning all the people we like to disassociate ourselves from). We need to repent on behalf of everyone. I'm wailing today. I'm crying out to God, because I heard him speak to me through a madman who killed 30 something people.

I realize this isn't a popular position for me to take, but like I said, it isn't as if God hasn't tried to tell us through someone sane and calm.

This morning, I was watching that video clip and the Spirit of Truth lept out at me. I saw God with tongue in cheek saying, "how do you like them apples?!"

And if that ain't the God of the Bible, then I'm bound for hell, Brother, cause that's the God I worship and fall flat on my face before everyday.

Jim, you shared this

"Hey guys - I didnt watch the whole thing and have no desire to watch more then I saw. it was my understanding that he was blaspheing Jesus in the video, was he actually saying that he did this in the name of Christ?"

Brothers and sisters, I have no intention of watching this man or of hearing his words. Besides my initial concerns, after reading what Jim has written here I'm even more concerned that this man's words are or could be presented here as the word of God?

Am I mis-understanding something here?

Christopher Joel Dandrow

Some of this boys words are not his own.
The warrior,wearing the full armour of GOD will recognise this!
The references to our LORD are spat out with typical satanic venom. Do they bear fruit?
Not of the Holy vine of Jesus.
Jesus called the devil a liar and a murderer and as we have seen he is ..THE LORD REBUKE HIM.
Pray for his soul and all the lost ones too.
Peace be with you

I agree with Krispy and I do not think that this discussion is appropriate at this time.

Hi Jim,

"I dont think anyone is saying that this guy was talking for Jesus. He is obviously demon possessed."

Then is this something that we should set before the hearts and minds of others?

Again, why would any of you want to listen to the words of this man?

I remember reading a qoute attributed to C.H. Spurgeon the other day that was something along the lines of "I wouldn't drag my spirit through the mud for the sake of having it washed'.

I wonder how many of that are willing to satisfy your idle curiosities by hearing about the horrors of this life are willing to live among them as well.

Chris

Joh 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

its quite easy to put this man in the category he belongs.

"For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing." -Acts 17:21

Jesus did not tell us to be concerned with the words of those who murder. Defend gossip and whitewash it with theological talk, but it is still ungodliness.

Chris

Jim,

"Chris-

If you are adressing me, please show me where I have gossipped or let me know if you weren't talking to me.

Thanks - Jim"

I am addressing anyone that is or has [b]encouraged others to listen to the words on this man who murdered these people[/b] or who encourages others to talk about it. If that applies to you, then it is meant to you.

Chris

My theory is this:

Seung Cho was mentally psychotic. His extreme anti-social behavior had opened him up to the demon world.

Being Korean and living in Virginia he was probably around Christians his entire life -which is why he speaks so much about them, but he never really met Jesus.

I can't help but thinking about the boy with the demons who kept throwing him into the fire... the Apostles tried to remove the demons but couldn't... The boy needed two things, Jesus and Prayer.

I can imagine that this young man Seung Cho probably had a lot of Christian teaching around him and a lot of 'Apostles' trying to help him... but no one ever came to him as Jesus, prayed for him, engaged in his life to remove those demons.

Whose fault is this? The Christian Church. Not a single organization, not any single person... it was a systemic failure. We are failing to show Jesus to this world, we are not showing the light of Christ in our lives, we are not engaging the world as salt and light. We are not being Jesus' ambassadors -we've shirked our responsibility and hid ourselves in man made temples.

I agree with Ian as well. I have read this entire thread and can see all the perspectives. The church is dropping the ball on these people and many more.

I have no desire to watch the video, however just the little blurbs I have heard tell me this man was rejected over and over. He wasn't very attractive so the pretty people didn't want him. He saw the affluence of those around him, seemingly living the high life, which didn't include him and he became angry which opened him up to serve the devil.

Christians may have been able to go in an take him into their hearts thereby relieving the big hole in his. Sharing Jesus love and acceptence with him. Letting him know that Jesus accepts him and wants him.

Now about the possiblility that God, even though He didn't do this, will speak though this, I believe He does. He speaks to us, does He not? Of our selfishness and blindness to the need around us? How many around us are loners and shunned by society and we have the goods but don't offer them. Yes He speaks to our self-centered me, me, me ways. It is a wake-up call to labor in the harvest. It is also speaking to us to be faithful in prayer for those God lays on our hearts. Those we are supposed to care about. We all, most likely, have people away at college or in the military and we forget to intercede for them. This does speak to us to get on the ball and care enough to do our part.

God uses everything in our lives to speak to us if we just have ears to hear.

I'm really hoping to admins lock and delete this thread

I second that.

Since I was the one who started this thread, I'm glad I get one last word in before it gets locked.

God spoke to me through that madman.

I believe that the type of thing which happened at Virinia Tech is preliminary judgement and I'm not embarrassed to say that.

That does not mean that I believe the people at Georgia Tech were somehow singled out by God for punishment. I believe we are seeing preliminary judgement everday and I might be next to fall at the hands of some catastrophe. Why not you or I?

I know God is issuing a loud cry across this earth calling people to repent before it's too late and today I heard it coming out of a madman's mouth. That's pretty shocking and my bones have been reeling over it today.

To everyone who is effected by this tragedy, I'm so sorry. I'm deeply grieved over the pain and loss of life and I'm praying for you all. I take no pleasure in this, by any means. In fact, my heart groans in sorrow everyday till our redemption is complete and every tear is dried. God have mercy on us all. Sincerely, Dian.

Fact is Cho hated the world, and he wanted revenge on it, Most likly for all the pain he was put through as kid , but what i have learned thru this terriable event is we need to reach out to people even if they seem unreachable or dont want to be reached.
"LOve thy neighbor"
"do good to those who persecute you"
" give expecting nothing in return"
---perfect example Jesus with the demoniac,
Jesus reached out, demoniac healed,
God gets glory
Christans need to get our hands dirty again and go out to the ones that no one cares about
love
