From the guy's YouTube channel:

"My title "Third Eagle of the Apocalypse" came to me when I asked God who was the "Eagle" as found in Revelation 8:13. He told me: "you are". Now, I should explain, I do not hear voices, but sometimes God gives prophecy to me by a revelation which I know comes not from my own thoughts but outside my mind. My title "Co Prophet of the End Times" means that I complete the end times prophecies of Daniel, Ezekiel, Esther, John and even of our Lord in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24-25)."

On a related note- is this guy tone deaf? Could he have found a worse, more nails-on-a-blackboard voice on his synth? Just sayin'.

I had to go to some trouble to find out that impennis is Latin for feathers. Kind of makes his ridiculous theories look stupid.

The Apostle puts out another amazing song, not only is our Brother an Apostle but the melody and harmony combined with a beautiful poem is wonderful, and sweet candy to the ears. Thank You Brother William!

A lot of those people are simply egging him on.

He was featured by Anderson Cooper some months back on the Ridicu-List segment, and has attracted quite a sarcastic following.

This has got to be a joke.

Or, is rMoney going after sympathy votes?

The only people I feel sorry for are the ones who had to watch/listen to this. Oh, and possibly his family and friends. I don't know them though, so I really can't say.

When I first heard him playing, my first thought was that I knew but couldn't place that tune. Think it is some hymn I have sung. Or really close two one. Not worth the effort to identify it.

45. It's a misunderstanding of a parable of Jesus
Wed Jul 25, 2012, 05:05 PM

http://www.fullchisel.com/blog/?p=37

The parable of the ten virgins admonishes Christians to keep oil in their lamps so that when they go to trim the wicks in anticipation of the bridegroom, they can relight their lamps. Hence, Christians tell each other to keep their wicks trimmed, I guess so they don't have to blow them out when the bridegroom shows. I don't know.

But keeping your wicks trimmed also helps a candle or a lamp burning efficiently. It also sounds naughty.

I laughed the whole time I watched it, (and I watched it at least 4 times) and I laughed every time I thought about it afterward. For that, I thank him. The nut!

Does anyone feel bad for laughing at someone else's attempt to make music? I have been laughing about this for hours.

Oooookaaaay....



EDIT TO ADD:
Did anyone else notice the title of this is "Mitt Romney is a hero in my mind" yet he really only 'sings' about Obama and ends it mentioning Mitt. So, Romney is a hero in his mind just because he opposes Obama.

I think that pretty much sums up the average Romney supporter. They only like him because he's against Obama. They hate him irrationally because they've bought into the us-against-them mentality.
