What the Bible Has to Say about Popular Entertainment

– Novels, Movies, TV Shows, Video Games

Numbers 33:51-52 – "[51] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan ; [52] then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places :"

Comment: God commanded the children of Israel to destroy all the graven images, and all the idols, and all the images of false gods depicted on walls. Today, in America, and around the world, movies, TV shows, and other videos display entertainment and steal time from God. Today, entertainment takes a huge amount of time out of people’s schedules. It is a god that people serve around the world.

Psalm 101:3 – "[3] I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes : I hate the work of them that turn aside ; it shall not cleave to me."

Comment: The psalmist declared that he would not look at anything beliyaal (i.e. evil, worthless, unprofitable, naughty, ungodly, or wicked). The Hebrew word, in this verse, for wicked is (Strong’s # 1100) beliyaal. It means: “… without profit, worthlessness; … wickedness … Belial, evil, naughty, ungodly …, wicked.” (From: Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance.) If what we are watching or viewing is beliyaal, we must turn it off and repent.

The Russian Invasion of America (Putin Gives America the Ultimatum) (Darker Days Ahead)

Vladimir Putin of Russia has recently given America the ultimatum: America, change your ways or Russia will be forced to enter an armed conflict with you. This strongly-worded speech was given on October 24, 2014 at the Valdai International Discussion Club’s XI session in Sochi. Russia needs to be taken seriously. Putin has given not-so-subtle hints that Russia is a nuclear power and should not be messed with. God has given people visions of a Russian invasion of America. Read more below. 

The Russian Invasion of America

Date: 11/4/14

(By: J.)

This is a very dark time we are living in. Darkness has descended on the land. There is great apostasy (turning away from the truth) and deception (lies blended with truth). We are living in days like the days of Noah. People are living as if nothing bad will happen to them. They do not want to believe that God has been warning them and pleading with them to repent from sin and seek God. They do not want to listen to those who are warning them about God's judgment coming. Vladimir Putin of Russia has recently given America the ultimatum: America, change your ways or Russia will invade you. Putin said on August 29, 2014 (just a few months ago): "It's best not to mess with us." He was referring to America not meddling with Russia.

Putin also said (click for source):

“I’ll remind you that Russia is one of the largest nuclear powers. These are not just words, this is reality and, moreover, we are strengthening our powers of nuclear restraint. We are boosting our armed forces, they are actually becoming more compact and more effective. They are really becoming more modern from the point of view of being equipped with modern systems of weaponry. We will continue increasing this potential, and we will do this."

Putin gave a speech on October 24, 2014 at meeting in Sochi. The Russian blogger "chipstone" summarized Putin's speech into 9 points. (You can read them all here.) Points 7 and 8 are very dire and serious.

"chipstone" summarizes (bold / underline added):

"7. Russia does not wish for the chaos to spread, does not want war, and has no intention of starting one. However, today Russia sees the outbreak of global war as almost inevitable, is prepared for it, and is continuing to prepare for it. Russia does not war—nor does she fear it. 

8. Russia does not intend to take an active role in thwarting those who are still attempting to construct their New World Order—until their efforts start to impinge on Russia's key interests. Russia would prefer to stand by and watch them give themselves as many lumps as their poor heads can take. But those who manage to drag Russia into this process, through disregard for her interests, will be taught the true meaning of pain."

People of America, this message Putin has given the world is very serious and Putin should be taken seriously. Russian leaders do not speak this way unless they mean business. In the earlier part of his speech, Putin said:
