: Ladies and Gentlemen, I just don't get it! Whatever does the
: Biblical story of Joseph have to do with the present day
: and times?

Joseph's "sojourn" in Egypt just happens to be the key to understanding the world today. If you fail to understand what happened there you will also fail to understand what is happening today. World events have "seeds" just as an oak tree has an acorn. The "seed" of today is entirely contained in the story of Joseph.

Few people understand what happened there because they fail to understand the nature of evil that Joseph represents. They also fail to comprehend the level of evil it takes to destroy an entire civilization because of jealousy. The spawn of Abraham, which is the spawn of satan, are a jealous people. Since their beginning they have become spiritually stillborn through braindead worship of ritual evil. They morbidly hate all who are spiritually alive and developed a formula for destroying all those who had the misfortune to "host" their parasitic presence.

"You tell him to come in, sit down
But something makes you turn around
The door is open, you can't close your shelter."
--Leonard Cohen "The Stranger Song"

A nation tells a Jew to come in, sit down...'cause the nation is warm-hearted and open and wouldn't think of refusing hospitality to a "stranger". But something wierd begins to happen which makes that nation uneasy. When the nation turns around for a look, it finds the door open (aka a knife is in its back) and the nation is in the process of bleeding to death. The Jews have koshered the life out of a once friendly nation and now the nation cannot close its shelter because it is dying, overrun by parasites. That's the story of Joseph and that is why it is so important.

I also find "tau's" method of describing things a bit confusing but that's not what this is all about. Your education is impressive but obviously inadequate because you are still missing the key. Unfortunately formal education is built on herd mentality and the herd is educated for the survival of the herd. Free thinkers are a threat to the herd, therefore they are not encouraged. You know this.

: For my money, the Anti-Christ has come and gone,

The world itself is "anti-christ" and is coming and going all the time.

: The ancient times are over.

With the key you'll understand that "ancient times" are today. The Bible is today's news. Since the appearance of the "serpent" in our midst, Human Beings have not been able to progress an inch. We have been caught in endless repetition like that early Twilight Zone episode where the characters keep arriving at the same roadhouse (with a jukebox?) over and over again. No matter what they did they could not avoid the return. That's the world today. Ah, but the truth shall set us free. The truth is very powerful.

: I am not interested in being charitable towards monsters or in

: cheek ever again.

I agree with you there, but the "monsters" are the worshippers of the Old Testament "lord", the so-called "chosen ones" (aka the parasites). They are masters of hoodoo voodoo and hide themselves in secret organizations like the CIA. They are the real mass murderers, and they are definitely "slick liars and confidence men". I also refuse to turn my other cheek ever again.
