Bible Superbowl prediction

You may recall that I called the Superbowl within 1 point last year, based on scriptural references and inferences. I can't tell you the number of people who were amazed over my Bible-sports prophecy. One man in church was actually kind of in awe of me after. It was sort of scary.

Well, what does the Bible say for this year? (apart from the fact I am rooting hard for the Giants)

Giants were feared by the Israelites, and temporarily kept them out of the land (end zone?)due to unbelief. They looked strong and powerful until confronted. But ultimately the giants all were tackled and fell. They were evil. The bigger they were, the harder they fell (think about Goliath). They were finally fully exterminated. They were wiped out.

Another thought is found in 1 Samuel 2:12-"The sons of Eli were worthless men, they did not know the Lord." They were harshly judged by God. Surely this is also not good news for Eli Manning, the Giants' quarterback.

On the other hand, New England claims to be Patriots. But surely this is false advertising. New England is probably the least godly part of the country, having first legalized gay marriage, as well as slavery (just learned this Wednesday in the Black History class). It is easily the weakest area of the country for the Gospel. Churches are generally few, small, and weak up there. And Massachusetts ranks up there as among the worst in all this.

Tough prediction. Patriots by 3.

Today is...

Today is National Peanut Butter day.

I love pb. When I was a kid, we used to eat peanut butter on hot dogs (it is good). Now I love peanut butter chocolate ice cream.

What is your favorite peanut butter combo?

Vision of America

Saturday night at the prayer meeting for the nation, state, towns, I had a vision. Someone mentioned that the US had been a place of refuge for peoples from all over the world. At this I saw a light-up map of the US. Then I heard the voice of God saying, "No longer will America be a place of refuge, it is now under my judgment. People will flee and leave it, no longer will peoples come to it. But there will remain a few cities of refuge in it." I saw the light of the map go out, but a few lights on the map remained.

Not such good times ahead. None of the lights were in the northeast.
