I knew the import of that battle but had no idea how it went down nor that the defenders died to the last man, much less in a charge into enemy lines. You laid it out very well. TY.

Hey GV, I just posted an article which will be on TBP tomorrow about Gnosticism and its influences on both "2001: A Space Odyssey" and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon."

I would be honored to have your opinion on it.

SEMPER FIDELIS!

Thanks for your reply about my article.

You are entirely correct about Jesus; I do not once ever condone Kabbalism/Gnosticism, only point out its beliefs in regard to how it was integrated into "2001" and "Dark Side of the Moon." I wanted to show people how deeply ingrained this satanism is, how it pervades everything we see, and that in such understanding get closer to our Lord -- thus my final sentence: Thank God for these people.

I had hoped that by selecting two prominent classics of pop culture and demonstrating the truth behind them that people would gain enlightenment (said ironically). It seems to be working; the article is getting a lot of views, and stirring controversy, just like I expected.

Looking at things from a different viewpoint, getting clarity on the reasons Satan does what he does, those are the points I wanted to get across. Only those intelligent enough will understand that the madness I was writing about was to show just how insidious our Enemy is, and how it thinks.

I feel like I was divinely inspired to write that article, like the Lord knew I was His vessel. The whole idea just struck me out of the blue, and I suddenly had a burst of energy. I couldn't NOT write it, the words and where to find the information I needed just seemed to flow. It was a Godly experience, and I know He used me to glorify Him. That's all I ever wanted to be.

Anyway, thank you again for your input, I truly appreciate it.

I appreciate the response CO, this elucidated some things for me. From that perspective we are entirely in agreement. The enemy of mankind surely is insidious, and his false religion has infected every aspect of this fallen world. We’re so bathed in these stories we don’t even appreciate them for what they are anymore.

If it is not of the Lord Jesus Christ, it is of an altogether different origin. I thought notions like that were pretty extreme 10-15 years ago, but with age comes wisdom. My research the last year in particular has fully opened my eyes in that regard.

Light cannot mix with darkness any more than water can mix with oil, and for that we may thank God Almighty.

This was the most riveting and most powerful article "To Date" from you. The letter from Zrínyi to his Son was so passionate! If ever there was a mobilizing Prose to quickly humble the Christian Heart, it most definitely must be this article! Many thanks for your "Gift", and may Jesus keep you Prodigious in the future! You are a blessing!

hard not to make comparisons to our current fake “doormat” leaders 😿

Indeed. It's a thought that has preoccupied me for years now.

Operation J6 disabused me of the notion that Trump or anyone else with any kind of clout, name recognition, or social cache was on our side. A real leader of men - an Alexander, an Andrew Jackson - they would have been on the frontlines with us. Instead we get pathetic hostage videos from the White House.

Can you imagine if a single congress critter had walked outside to see what the crowd actually wanted? To try an open a dialogue, or a discussion? Or hell, to join along with them?

Alas.

Odličan članak Scipio!

Veliki pozdrav iz Zagreba! :)

More on Nikola Zrinski:

"He first became famous in 1542 by saving Pest from certain ruin with the crew of his Croats. For this reason, the inhabitants of Pest praised him and said that God himself had sent him. Because of his heroism and exceptional popularity among the people in the same year, he was elected a Croatian Ban. As a reward, he received possession of Croatian Međimurje with the fortified city of Čakovec from the King.

Nikola is celebrated as a national hero in Croatia and Hungary, and for his honorable death he is especially appreciated in Japan.

It is less known that the English royal family among the ancestors has Nikola Šubić Zrinski. His daughter, whose mother was Katarina Frankopan, married a Hungarian nobleman Ferenz Turz who has a blood relationship with the British royal family through the German nobility from Transylvania."

The powerful story, and your exquisite recounting of it, had me at the edge of my chair. I confess my eyes were burning.. Now, I'm left with the burning question.. Where are the Christian men today? They've been decimated by the American culture. After all, when a modest siege broked it's advance..

the vast majority collapsed without a fight, and closed the doors of their churches at the saying... not a lion mind you, but... a virus is in the streets, a virus is in the streets. May God give the rest of us the heart of a fearless martyr as the Battle for Christiandom continues to heat up. Thank you for an amazing story.

Indeed sister, comfort has defeated us.

The American church’s tolerance for suffering is sorely underdeveloped.

Yes, it has, and so has prosperity. Moses wrote the world's first song to warn God's people against prosperity and comfort. But it went on regardless, to have its ultimate and inevitable ulterior effect. And God's people left their first love.
