for everyone who thinks madonna is a doopey whore

my fav madonna song rips her and all of us hypocrites a new one

As soon as I heard and saw this I immediately thought of the classic Rastafarian concept of the current "one world order" to be Babylon....

"Justify My Love (The Beast Within Mix)"

[from Revelation 1:3]

Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy

And blessed are those who hear

And who keep what is written therein

For the time is near

[From Revelation 1:7]

He is coming with the clouds

And every eye will see him (the parentheses are my notes ok? so this verse makes me think of "universal salvation" or "near universal salvation" - if every eye will see him - wouldnt you think tons of people would "convert" right there on the spot and "accept him as their lord and savior?" the other verse that makes me think of this same theological quandry is "and EVERY knee shall bow and EVERY voice proclaim that Jesus Christ is the Lord." - what would that actually imply if salvation just means saying and believing that Jesus is our "lord and savior?" these are just questions for consideration, i don't nescessarily have a firm opinion on any of them, just what pops into my mind when i see the words...)

Everyone who pierced him

And all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him

[from Revelation 2:1-4]

Those of you who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan (what in the world do you think saint john the beloved, who wrote revelations and also was the one who laid his head on Jesus's breast at the last supper and who Jesus repeatedly referred to as "his beloved" and who was also the last apostle to die and - i think, the only one to not be martyred, meant by this?)

I know your works, I know your toil, and your patient endurance

And how you cannot hear evil men (you mean like when my ears practically boil when i hear ann coulter and bill oreilly and rush limbaugh and stalin and hitler and every one of these blowhards who distort the truth, no, let me be forthright here, who lie, outright lie to promote their tunnelvision views?)

But have tested those who call themselves apostles, but are not

And found them to be false

I know that you are enduring patiently

And you have not grown weary (soooooooo, f-ing easy to grow weary of all of these "apostles" who we have found to be false!)

but I have this against you

that you have abandoned the love you had (self explanatory i suppose, Jesus's old major main theme...?)

Wanting, needing, waiting for you to justify my love

Hoping, praying for you to justify my love

[From Revelation 13:1-10]

And I saw a beast rising out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads

and a blasphemous name upon its head (makes me think of those who say america is "God's chosen favored nation" which according to the old testament would indeed be blasphemous since we know who his chosen nation was, and it wasn't us, sorry guys, it was Isreal.)

And the beast that I saw was like a leopard

Its feet were like a bear's

And its mouth was like a lion's mouth

And to it the dragon gave his power, (who is the dragon?)

And the whole earth followed the beast with wonder (at the time of John's writings the whole world followed rome, now the whole world follows international consumerism, just look at the fashion and the music and the food the world over, try to find a country besides cuba and south korea without a mcdonalds? who under the age of 30 cannot speak some english?)

Men worshiped the dragon for he had given his authority to the beast

and they worshiped the beast saying

"Who is like the beast and who can fight against the beast?" ("who is like america? and who can fight against america?" or more generally, "who is like the capitalist world order, and who can fight against the consumer culture?")

And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words

and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months (why did God give him this authority and what does this mean?)

it opened its mouth to utter blasphemous words against God

If anyone has an ear let him hear

If anyone is to be taken captive, into captivity he will go

If anyone who slays with the sword, with the sword he shall be slain (one of THE LEAST quoted verses by republican fundamentalists i would imagine.)

Wanting, needing, waiting for you to justify my love

Hoping, praying for you to justify my love

[From Revelation 21:1-8]

Then, I saw a new heaven and a new earth

And I heard a great voice from the throne saying:

"Behold the dwelling of God is with men (the kingdom of God is within you. that is such a profound and wide ranging statement...)

He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people

And God himself will be with them

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes

And death shall be no more

Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore

For these things will have passed away

To the thirsty I will give water without price (without price - without an exchange - without us needing to do any of the legalistic things we think we need to do to "pay" for it.)

From the fountain of the water of life

He who conquers shall have this heritage

And I will be his God and he shall be my son

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted

As for the murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars (she was brave to include the fornicators verse since it is obviously a suitable reference to her own life, but also ALL liars, and who has not lied? "Death Panel" pulled out of your butt? "weapons of mass destruction"? these are supposed to be the "good christians" saving us all from the Devil.... by lying and lying and lying.)

Their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone."

[from Revelation 22:10-13]

And he said to me, he said to me: (is God a jewish sounding mom from new jersey :) "he says to me, he says...")

"Do not seal up the words of the prophecy, for the time is near

Let the evildoers still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy

And the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy (amazing! do you think pat robertson or jerry falwell or "focus on the family" have ever even read that?)

Behold, I am coming soon

I am the alpha and the omega

the first and the last

the beginning and the end."

Amen.

What are you gonna do?"

and for the even more conspiratorially minded we have this little remix of the video with the same music and words:

those in the know, look for the perfectly timed shot of building 7 :)

all i can say is something clearly happened to our old madge, somewhere between her having her daughter Lourdes and releasing "ray of light" she went from "like a virgin" etc to this. a transformation unseen since the beatles went from "i wanna hold your hand" to the white album.

if you want to see another song/video where madonna seems to turn her back on her 80s pop whore do anything for a buck past click play below:
