20130830: :Rev 22:13 "Alpha Omega" Elysium + Immolation

Rev 22:13" I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last"

This month I learnt 2 new words . The first was Elysium and the other Immolation.  Education is life long. May be three..."Twerk" by Miley Cyrus! 

ELYSIUM?

Elysium is a 2013 American science fiction action-thriller film written, co-produced and directed by Neill Blomkamp and starring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster. It was released on August 9, 2013

The film takes place on both a ravaged Earth and a luxurious space habitat called Elysium. It explores political and sociological themes such as immigration, health care and class issues

In 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a luxurious space station called Elysium, and the poor, who live on an overpopulated, devastated Earth. While residents on Earth are policed by ruthless androids, Elysian citizens live in comfort and safety, surrounded by robotic servants. They regularly use man-sized medical devices in their homes that keep them free from disease (so called Med-Pods).

Noun	1.	Elysium - a place or condition of ideal happiness
		Elysium - (Greek mythology) the abode of the blessed after death Elysian Fields Heaven - the abode of God and the angels Greek mythology - the mythology of the ancient Greeks

A very interesting movie indeed.  Reminded me of last book of Revelation. Is there such a place called Elysium? Why not?  Will there be anymore sorrow, pain or disease? Well unlike the Med-Pods in this movie, our new heavenly home will have leaves of the trees for the healing of the nations (wonder how it works? Pluck the leaves and eat?) And there will be no more curse. Rev 21 -22.

Will there remain a caste system like upper or lower class etc? Well, we know that those whose names in the Book of life will be there. May be not such a thing of caste- but God will reward to every man according to his work. Rev 22:12.  

Guess to have a place like that in Elysium - there is no need to save and buy that expensive space ticket to make a trip there. The condition is in v14" Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life , and may enter in through the gates into the city"

V11: He that is unjust, let him be unjust STILL; 

he which is filthy, let him be filthy STILL; 

and he that is righteous, let him be righteous STILL;

 and he that is holy, let him be holy STILL"

What a steal STILL!

Yes, perhaps let the people continue to decide for themselves which group they want to be in - unjust, filthy or righteous , holy?
V15 Wanna be dogs, scorcerers, whoremongers, murderers, idolaters...?

Something sad that had recently took place in little red dot this month- 23/8/2013. . I think it is one of the first kind here.

IMMOLATION
Self-immolation refers to setting oneself on fire, often as a form of protest or for the purposes of martyrdom.

What a shocking news. In my mind, I asked "OH why???" Why did she do it?" What a terrible  way to die. What the hell that drove this woman to commit such an act? She was definitely not an Elysium citizen.  Sigh...something drove her to despair. And it looks like this is one of the first kind in this nation? Sad

TWERKing!!!

And oh mind! My last new word that I learnt - "TWERKING"?

2 days back, Miley Cyrus - the 20 year old singer, shed her goody outfit to that of a raunchy, sexy one at the 2013 MTV awards.  She beat Lady Gaga for her mouth gasping performance. She created a new buzz word that found its way into the dictionary - Twerk twerk twerk.

Too R-A rated. LOL....

Reflection

Oh what a world we live in now! No more twerk, no more immolation...Elysium here I come! May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all! V21
