    Born to a world without electricity.
    Yet when he spoke,
    They the people stopped and listened
    And a multitude of silence descended upon them.
    Sing more Ben, sing for us,
    Sing us safety, security,
    Sing us comfort, constancy.
    For you are the heart of the lion.
    May you beat for ever more,
    And may they, the people never lose the solace
    Found in but a singular tone.

    "a 100,000 bought tickets". On the 9th June 1977 I stood in exactly the same place watching the Silver Jubille fireworks, it didn't cost a bean and no one had though of having security barriers and bag checks. So what's the difference? Ah.

    anyone have Roku on their TV? When it goes into screen saver mode and shows the creepy apocalyptic scene, it has BIG BEN, with a ferriswheel... look at the other stuff in that scene. Nukes in the background, leviathan coming out of the deep, giant robot, sinking ships, submarines, buildings on fires, etc.... And with the fireworks I was led to remember the scene with skeleton man, with his new years eve party favor, and all the fireworks in the background... just like this scene in London. And this scene with this giant ferriswheel with big Ben????? Crazy. Just sayin, the elite keep constantly putting this predictive programming in our faces, I pray people are waking up and giving their lives to Jesus BEFORE it is too late.
    Peace and grace to y'all in 2019.
