Email article to a friend. Jesus Christ To The Rescue By Bob Swimm The Show: THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN: 1953 The Episode: “Five Minutes to Doom” The Scene: An innocent Joe Winters has been strapped into the electric chair, wrongly convicted for a murder he did not commit.
Daily Planet reporters Clark Kent, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen have unearthed last minute evidence to prove Joe Winters’ innocence. Editor Perry White tries desperately to call the governor but a storm has knocked out the phone lines, the situation is desperate. Clark tells them not to worry, he’ll get through, but he only has five minutes. He’s able to “contact” Superman who crashes through the concrete wall of the prison cell and thrusts his arm between the armature and the deadly plates taking all the voltage himself sparing Winters’ life at the last possible second.
The Show: THE LONE RANGER: 1955 The Episode: “The Lynching” The Scene: A down on his luck former Texas Ranger, drifting through town finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and is framed for the robbery and murder of a beloved townsman. The actual killer works the town’s people into a frenzied mob mentality and they overpower a weak sheriff. The Lone Ranger, a former Texas Ranger and an old friend, has been disguised as a bearded prospector and discovered the truth. The Lone Ranger follows the mob out of town from a safe distance, and at the last possible instant, with the noose around the drifter’s neck, the horse has been whacked on the rear, with laser precision the Lone Ranger fires both six shooters slicing the rope saving his old friend’s life without a second to spare. The Show: SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE The Episode: “The Great Tribulation” The Scene: “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now--and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.” (Matthew 24:21, 22). The first two stories were adventure serials from the 1950’s where Superman and the Lone Ranger were always arriving just in the nick of time to prevent a catastrophic miscarriage of justice. The third scenario points us toward the fourth of the great festivals of Almighty God: and at the same time it is the first of the final four Holy Days not yet fulfilled. It is time for the Feast of Trumpets (Leviticus 23:24). The drama unfolds as all of the seven seals have been opened, all the plagues, all of the woes, and all but one of the seven last trumpet plagues have sounded. Mankind is on the brink of total nuclear annihilation. Satan (the Dragon) has influenced the great military leader (the Beast) and a blasphemous religious leader (The False Prophet) to gather for one final world war at Armageddon (this one is a desperate, foolish war against Jesus and His Holy angels) as the seventh angel sounds and pours out his vial into the air. Then comes a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done” (Revelation 16:16,17). What Superman and Lone Ranger did in fantasy, Jesus the Christ will enact in breath taking reality brokering ultimate righteous vengeance once and for all on the fulfilled FEAST OF TRUMPETS ending all the injustices and tyrannies and wars. At the last possible second, the Father will give the order. “I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. ‘He will rule them with an iron scepter.’ He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” (Revelation 19:11-16). The other awesome element of the Feast of Trumpets not to be overlooked is the resurrection of the dead in Christ. Not only is Jesus the conquering General at the battle of Armageddon, He is Victor over death, which is the final enemy of mankind. “Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: ‘Death has been swallowed up in victory.’ ‘Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?’ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (I Corinthians 15:51-57). THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS: Hail to Jesus Christ, our Conquering King, just in the nick of time!
