Two hundred, sixty-seven years ago to the day (thanks, Frodo) George Frideric Handel finished his first copy of Messiah, the incredible piece of music most people only hear around Christmas time. He finished 260 pages of music in only 24 days and apparently was not aware when he was in the body or out of the body, as Paul writes in Corinthians, because of the impact the Spirit was having on him at the time. (This info is brought to you by The One Year Book of Christian History...go buy a copy!!)This year's Presidential Campaign has talk of a political messiah running throughout its verbiage. There is an interesting providential coincidence on Facebook sidebar ads that occurred today as it did for me yesterday...I'm going to be tracking how many times I see this fortuitous combination between now and November!! ;P As you can tell by my Paint-drawn stick figures, the top ad is an Obama support ad. The lower one is John Cleese in his classic Basil Fawlty goosestep from the episode centering around German visitors to Fawlty Towers. The ad is hocking tee shirts.
Well, it struck me yesterday that the juxtaposition of these two ads is a subliminal prophecy of what this political messiah will institute here in AmeriKa with goose stepping as part of his Socialist regime. (For those of you unfamiliar with history, "Nazi" was short for the National SOCIALIST Party in Germany under Hitler.) Interestingly, too, is that George Handel was born in Germany, but spent most of his adult life in England in the providence of the Lord he loved so dearly. There is no evidence that Herr Handel ever visited Torquay and stayed at Fawlty Towers...which presumably would have been run by Basil's great-great-great grandfather or so...but if he had, word probably would have been, "Don't Mention The War!"
Got Comedic Conspiracy Theory?
