I'm re-watching MillenniuM. There are many concepts and topics mentioned in the show that I want to learn more about, so I decided to use lazysms to its fullest! I'm settling in for a long haul of 3 seasons of show to watch with my cell phone on hand and Ben & Jerry's Karmel Sutra ice cream on tap. My goal is to get to "The Curse of Frank Black" by Halloween. That is season 2 episode 7, which gives me plenty of time to gather and learn about my lazysms MillenniuM topics.

Note to self: Make a MillenniuM music CD

hummm I just tried to post more info on LJ lazysms and they have no instructions posted.. WTF? Are lazysms LJ's best kept secret? Ok so a lazysms is a post you make to your journal by using you cell phone. First you set you cell phone up with LJ here. Then you text LJ with your cell phone "Lazy ______" fill in the blank with whatever topic you need to know about. LJ automatically looks up that topic in Wikipedia and automatically posts as a private post to your journal on what every topic you texted. If there's no article on Wikipedia, a placeholder is automatically posted privately to remind you to do a search.

Isn't that awesome? How many times have you been away from the computer and thought of something you wanted to look into? Just text it to LJ and they will do it for you!

Let the MillenniuM lazysms begin!

So I've heard of Fire & Brimstone, but what exactly is brimstone. I'd like to know, it doesn't sound like the type of thing I want sprung on me at my time of death.

From American Heritage Dictionary

brim·stone (brĭm'stōn') n.
1. Sulfur.
2. Damnation to hell.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brimstone

'Brimstone' is an alternate name for sulfur and may also refer to Fire and brimstone, a pejorative term for hell as preached in Christianity.

Fire and brimstone is a term used, sometimes pejoratively, to describe a motif in Christian preaching which uses vivid descriptions of judgment, and the damnation to Hell of sinners forever to encourage repentance out of fear of divine wrath and punishment.

The Puritan preacher Thomas Vincent (an eyewitness of the Great Fire of London) authored a book called "Fire and Brimstone in Hell", first published in 1670. In it he quotes from Psalm 11:6 "Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest, this shall be the portion of their cup."



Can't say I was never warned :)


This post is part of my MillenniuM Education project. Brimstone is referenced in MillenniuM in season 1, episode: Pilot




"I want to see you dance on the blood- dimmed tide. Where the ceremony of innocence is drowned. This is the second death. The abominable and the fornicators. This is the second death. You'll have your part in the lake. The great plague in the maritime city. You'll have your part in the lake which burns with fire... and brimstone." - The Frenchman

Whoa, this post is all over the place.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catcher_in_the_rye

'The Catcher in the Rye' is a novel by J. D. Salinger. First published in the United States in 1951, the novel has been a frequently challenged book in its home country for its liberal use of profanity and portrayal of sexuality and teenage angst.

Originally published for adults, the novel has become a common part of high school and college curricula throughout the English-speaking world.

The novel was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005.

The novel's protagonist, Holden Caulfield, has become an icon for teenage rebellion and defiance. Written in the first person, The Catcher in the Rye follows Holden's experiences in New York City in the days following his expulsion from Pencey Prep, a college preparatory school. He is intelligent and sensitive, but Holden narrates in a cynical and jaded voice. He finds the hypocrisy, "phoniness", and ugliness of the world around him unbearable.

I've requested this book from the library, not that it will have much MillenniuM insight, but just to read a classic novel.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gehenna

'Gehennam' (or gehenom or gehinom) is the Jewish hell or purgatory. In Judaism hell is a place of purification and fire for the wicked, most being punished there up to a year but some for eternity. In English, Jews commonly use the term "hell" in place of "gehenna." The name derived from the burning garbage dump near Jerusalem (the Hinnom gulch), metaphorically identified with the entrance to the underworld of punishment in the afterlife.

Gehenna also appears in the New Testament and in early Christian writing to represent the place where evil will be destroyed. It lends its name to Islam's hell, Jahannam. In both Rabbinical Jewish and Christian writing, Gehenna as a destination of the wicked is different from Sheol, the abode of all the dead.

Religious concepts of underworlds and hells include:
Buddhist: Naraka
Chinese: Diyu
Christian: Hell, Interim state
Czech: Peklo
Egyptian: Duat
Germanic/Norse: Niflheim, Hel
Greek: Hades, Tartarus
Hindu: Naraka
Islam: Jahannam
Judaic: Gehennom, Sheol
Shinto: Yomi
Japanese: Jigoku
Slovak: Peklo
Sinhalese: Apaya

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_coming

In Christianity, the 'Second Coming' is the anticipated return of Jesus Christ from heaven to earth, an event that will fulfill aspects of Messianic prophecy, such as the general resurrection of the dead, the last judgment of the dead and the living and the full establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth (also called the "Reign of God"), including the Messianic Age. Views about the nature of this return vary among Christian denominations. The original Greek of the New Testament uses the term 'Parousia' (παρουσία), the "appearance and subsequent presence with" (in the ancient world referring to official visits by royalty). The 'Second Coming' is also referred to as the Second Advent, from the Latin term "adventus," for "coming." Teachings about the last days comprise Christian eschatology.

Jesus runs on Pagan Standard time

Dates of the Second Coming that have gone by and some we have to look forward to! I've noticed that none of these predictions are made by women, hummm...

1745 - present: Emanuel Swedenborg witnessed the Last Judgment in 1757 as one of many events recounted in his works resulting from visions of Jesus Christ returned. He tells of almost daily interaction with Christ over the course of almost 30 years. His return is not in the flesh, but in His Holy Spirit. "Neither shall they say see here or see there, for behold, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:20).

September 15, 1829: George Rapp, founder and leader of the Harmony Society, predicted that on September 15, 1829, the three and one half years of the Sun Woman would end and Christ would begin his reign on earth. Dissension grew when Rapp's predictions went unfulfilled. In March of 1832, a third of the group left and some began following a man named Bernhard Müller who claimed to be the Lion of Judah. Nevertheless, most of the group stayed and Rapp continued to lead them until he died on August 7, 1847. His last words to his followers were, "If I did not so fully believe, that the Lord has designated me to place our Society before his presence in the land of Canaan, I would consider this my last".

October 22, 1844: William Miller and the Millerite Movement. The fact that this failed to happen the way people were expecting was later referred to as the Great Disappointment. Some Millerites continued to set dates; others founded the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Advent Christian Church, which continued to expect the Second Coming but no longer set dates for it (Members of the Bahá'í Faith believe that Christ did return on May 23 1844 as the Báb (the Gate), the forerunner of Bahá'u'lláh (Glory of God)).

1874: Charles Taze Russell Russell was the first person to successfully publicize to the world discussion about the Parousia.[citation needed] He taught that the invisible Parousia of Christ began in 1874 while stating that the sudden increase in knowledge, travel and worldwide inventions was directly related to this event. The Ahmadiyya community believe the prophecies about the second coming of Jesus were fulfilled by the advent of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad who established Ahmadiyya in 1889.

1914: Jehovah's Witnesses The interpretation of the Second Coming is important in the doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses, as these hold that it occurred in 1914, and instead of an apocalyptic Second Coming it is to be interpreted as an unseen presence, and the visible events of the final times will occur at a later date.

1917-1930: Sun Myung Moon The followers of Reverend Sun Myung Moon consider Rev. Moon to be the Lord of the Second Advent called by Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday at the age of 15 on a Korean Mountainside. (See Divine Principle)

1930s: Rudolf Steiner described the physical incarnation of Christ as a unique event, but predicted that Christ would reappear in the etheric, or lowest spiritual, plane beginning in the 1930s. This would manifest in various ways: as a new spiritual approach to community life and between individuals; in more and more individuals discovering fully conscious access to the etheric plane (clairvoyance); and in Christ's appearance to groups of seekers gathered together.[7]

1975: Herbert W. Armstrong, Pastor-General of the Radio Church of God, and then the Worldwide Church of God, felt the return of Jesus Christ might be in 1975. Of particular note was the book 1975 in Prophecy! written by Armstrong and published by the Radio Church of God in 1956. Though, never explicitly stating a date in the booklet, the title led people to believe the date was the second coming.

June 21, 1981: Bill Maupin, a pastor in Tucson, Arizona, wrote a book predicting the date of the Second Coming. His congregation sold all their belongings and went to a hilltop on that day to await the event.

1994? and 2011: Harold Camping, WFME radio Bible founder and teacher, published a book, 1994?, a prediction of Christ's return was likely pointing to 1994 but that the end will be 2011. 2011 was also in the book 1994?. Camping wrote "Adam when?" and claimed the Biblical calendar meshes with the secular and is accurate from 11013BC-2011AD.

1999 through 2009: Fundamentalist preacher Jerry Falwell predicted in 1999 that the Second Coming would probably be within 10 years.

1999: Nostradamus predicted that "from the sky will come a great King of Terror" in 1999. This was interpreted by some as a prophecy about the second coming of Jesus. When this didn't occur, some of his followers and those of Edgar Cayce claimed that Jesus was conceived in 1998, born in 1999, and is currently living on Earth as a reincarnated person.

September 13, 2007: Paul Sides predicted that September 13, 2007 marks the end of 7 years of "wars and rumors of war" that erupted when The Oslo Accords were annulled. Then he predicts a final 7 year "tribulation period" that culminates in a war over the Holy Land that brings back the Messiah.

2012: Televangelist Jack Van Impe has, over the years, predicted many specific years and dates for the second coming of Jesus, but has continued to move his prediction later. Many of these dates have already passed, and he recently pointed to 2012 as a possible date for the second coming. Van Impe no longer claims to know the exact date of the Second Coming, but quotes verses which imply that mankind should know when the second coming is near.
2034 Joseph Nathan Smith The group at www.2034AD.com has documented the discovery of the year for the second coming of Jesus in the Bible.

Unknown: Master Beinsa Douno prediction for the Second Appearance of Christ: "Christ Impulse will gradually penetrate into the human being and will take over guidance during the further development of the humankind (sic.). We are still in the beginning of all this now." (Master Beinsa Douno, The Master, The Life of the Sixth Race', ISBN 954-744-050-0, 1900-1946, Society Byalo Bratstvo - Bulgaria)

Unknown: Rastafari movement The Rastafari movement believes Haile Selassie is the second coming (although he himself did not encourage this belief). He embodied this when he became Emperor of Ethiopia, but is also expected to return a second time to initiate the apocalyptic day of judgment. Haile Selassie, also called Jah Ras Tafari, is often considered to be alive by members of the Rastafari movement.

2060: Issac Newton, In Nova Science's "Newtons Dark Secrets"; in the Public Television Science Show, in it's treatment on the spiritual life of Issac Newton, the Narrator approximately said Newton calculated biblical clues of the Return of Christ to be in the year 2060 AD.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W.H._Auden

Wystan Hugh Auden (21 February 1907 – 29 September 1973, who signed his works W. H. Auden, was an Anglo-American poet, regarded by many as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. His work is noted for its stylistic and technical achievements, its engagement with moral and political issues, and its variety of tone, form and content.The central themes of his poetry are love, politics and citizenship, religion and morals, and the relationship between unique human beings and the anonymous, impersonal world of nature.

"I smell blood and an era of prominent madmen." - W.H. Auden


I'd really like to learn what era he is referring too. I haven't found a reference.
