My life is now complete, or More insanity from Jack Chick

Ezekial 38 specifically mentions Persia. So there’s “the muslim world” I guess. Persia is supposed to be allied with Cush, Put, Gomer, and a number of others. Many scholars believe that Gomer refers to Germanya (the people of the far north) and some even believe Germanya is Magog. But Cush is almost definately Ethiopia and Put translates loosely to “treaty land”, so I’m not sure where ole Jack got Russia. I’m guessing he thinks Russia (being sort of a superpower) is Magog, even though there is absolutely zero evidence to support that reading.

At any rate, Jack never seems too concerned with what the passages he cites actually mean so trying to find logic in his interpretations is usually a wild goose chase.

22

Actually, Gog is a person - the leader of the nation of Magog. “Gog and Magog” is similar to saying “Hitler and Nazi Germany”. Whether Gog is supposed to be a name or a title is a bit in dispute.

23

Gomer? Wouldn;t that mean Israel will be attacked by North Carolina? (since Gomer Pyle came from Mayberry)

24

One last thing.

Hey, Diogenes, you might get a kick out of this. In Hebrew, Gog is pronounce “Gorr”. The Muslims pronounce it “Joj”. Some have said that the actual name is a combination of the two.

George.

Hmm, do we know of any leaders of a large nation named George?

25

On the plus side, of course, it looks like they finally found that pesky Ark those government buffoons last lost in Raiders of the Lost Ark. I betcha Indy will be thrilled!

26

Cool. Bob’s car’s got ejection seats.

27

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

28

What’s wrong with the horsemen of the apocalypse? It looks like the pope is in front, followed by Patrick Stewart, some guy wearing earflaps, and possibly a skeleton with some sort of bizarro-fire guy riding with him. So, who’s this guy riding with death, hmmm? Possibly an old… ::tries in vain to stop pun:: flame? :stuck_out_tongue: Horrible, I know. Sorry.

“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? Go-o-o-lly!”

30

Al Gorr and Joj Bush?

Haj

31

The real question: why does Chick’s proselytizing hero look like a cross between Snidely Whiplash and a heroin addict?

32

Anyone else thing that the rebuilt Temple looks an awful lot like a bank? Deliberate? Or simple lack of artistic creativity?

33

Wasn’t George what some big character called Bugs Bunny?

34

Ben Murphy.:smiley:

35

Phtt. Just finished reading that lame latest tract. Chick did finally manage to sum up his entire theology in one panel: “It’s payback time.” Nothing about generosity, forgiveness, kindness, nor Christian charity ever appears in his comical stuff.

36

Bob and Helen have an “understanding”.

Although which one is seeing Damian on the side, I don’t know.

37

Anybody notice that the statue of the Antichrist in the temple giving the old heavy metal devil horns sign? I guess that’s just so we know that he’s evil, huh?

38

“Damien, there’s something really important you should know!”

“OK, Helen…what is it?”

“I’m really a man.”
I’m sorry. This is the first time I’ve seen a Chick Tract, except for ones that used to be at retroCRUSH.

39

:smiley: That was my reaction too. And apparently the pets get taken up in the Rapture first, judging from the poster.

What if you just miss the Rapture because you overslept?

Come again?
