The Manchurian Candidate (1962)



This afternoon I watched The Manchurian Candidate for the third time.  The first two times, I watched the last half of the film and today I was able to watch the first half of the film.  So now I have watched The Manchurian Candidate in its entirety.

The Manchurian Candidate is intriguing.  The film is about these U.S. soldiers who were captured by Russian and Chinese Communists during the Korean War.  They were brainwashed and then sent back to the United States after the war.  One soldier, Staff Sergeant Raymond Shaw was brainwashed to assassinate certain people in the film.

For most people, The Manchurian Candidate is about brainwashing and assassination.  This film is also an excellent study on the Jezebel and Ahab personalities.

I Kings 16: 29-33:  "And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.   And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.   And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.   And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.   And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him."

Raymond Shaw's mother, Mrs. Eleanor Iselin is a domineering (Jezebel) woman, while his step-father, Senator John Yerkes Iselin, is considered a bumbling idiot (Ahab).  Mrs. Iselin is well able to control and manipulate her son and husband:  she triggers Raymond Shaw to kill; she maliciously steers and influences Senator Iselin's political career.




I Kings 21: 7-14:  "And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.   So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.   And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:  And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.   And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.   They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.   And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.   Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead."

Another film that reminds me of The Manchurian Candidate is The Bourne Supremacy (2004).  There is a scene in The Bourne Supremacy where the guy from the CIA says, "His mind is broken.  We broke it."  Before someone can be controlled and manipulated by someone else, their mind/personality needs to be broken down through physical and emotional abuse or psychological torture.  In familial relationships, a Jezebel personality, who is abusive and domineering, can control a passive, Ahab personality.

People who are possessed/oppressed by a Jezebel or Ahab demon are under a curse. This curse can be broken through a relationship with Jesus Christ, deliverance and obedience to the Lord.

The Assassin Shall Be Assassinated


Dreams from the LORD 2003-2006
9 January 2005

Back in September of 2001, the Lord had me watch The Pelican Brief starring Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts to show me that someone wanted to assassinate President George W. Bush. The Lord told me to phone the White House on the morning of 7 September 2001 to warn them of an assassination plot. At noon that same day, the Lord told me, “the assassin shall be assassinated”—just like in that scene from The Pelican Brief where that guy named Rupert (hired by the CIA) kills the assassin who wants to kill Darby Shaw (Julia Roberts). Four days later on 11 September 2001 that plane crashed in western PA—the plane thought to be targeting the White House. The assassin was assassinated. Praise the Lord!

“TIME TO MEET GOD”

Dreams from the LORD 2011-2022

26 July 2022

Last night I had a dream–I think it was the longest dream that I have ever had.  I was in this city and I met the actor who played Alejandro in the film Sicario.  The actor was Benicio del Toro.  During the dream, I called him Alejandro (he was a thinner version of Benicio del Toro).

We walked the streets of the city.  We talked about the film Sicario.  He bought me something to drink–I think it was a cup of coffee.  Then we got on this bus.  It seemed like a fairly big city–it took a while for the bus to get to this residential neighborhood.  We walked up to his apartment where I met his wife.  His wife was dressed in white:  she had white hair, white skin, she was wearing expensive white clothing; she almost looked non-human, otherworldly; she looked like an angel (Revelation 6:8).  They said they had an extra room for me to stay the night.  Then the dream ended.

In the film Sicario (2015, directed by Denis Villenueve), Alejandro was a hitman hired by the CIA to take out this drug cartel boss and his family.  At the end of the film, we learn that Alejandro’s wife and daughter were killed by that same cartel in Mexico.  Alejandro was a hitman or an assassin.  Or else you could say that Alejandro was an Angel of Death. Just before he kills the cartel boss and his family, Alejandro says, “Time to meet God.”

I Thessalonians 5:2: “For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.”

Revelation 6:8: “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”

Here are three comments I posted on a video where two Green Berets are discussing the film Sicario:

(1) “Alejandro (Benicio del Toro) was one of the most fascinating characters I have seen in a long time. In the beginning of the film, he came across as a loner, a cowboy (the scene where he is standing outside the private jet, looking on into the distance). Kate sees Alejandro taking a nap and he jumps in his seat (flashback)–so now we see he is suffering from some serious PTSD–at the end of the film we discover why (his wife and daughter were killed by the cartel). In that meeting with the Marshals and the Deltas before they pick up the prisoner: Alejandro looks like he is not even listening to the man speaking: he is distracted, thinking about something else. As we can see at the end of the film, Alejandro has one objective in mind: killing the cartel boss and his family.

“The intriguing thing about Alejandro is that he used to be a lawyer; he was trying to use the legal system in Mexico to prosecute the cartel. When his wife and daughter were killed, he changed tactics: he became a hired killer, a hitman, a sicario. Alejandro was lethal and efficient with his sidearm; his skill was surgical; he was emotionless, passionless–he had ice in his veins. Alejandro was brutal, blunt (especially to Emily Blunt) and decisive. He was a wolf in the land of wolves.

“Alejandro: ‘Nothing will make sense to your American ears. . . But in the end, you will understand.'”

(2) “I don’t think I would call Alejandro a psychopath. After Alejandro saw his wife and daughter killed by the cartel, something broke deep within him. As a prosecutor, he was trying to use the legal system in Mexico to go after the cartel. After the death of his wife and daughter, he changed tactics. When civilized diplomacy breaks down, that is when men go to war. Alejandro went to war.”

(3) “Remember at the dinner scene? Fausto says, ‘Not in front of my boys’. Alejandro then kills his wife and two sons before he kills Fausto. That was an act of mercy. Fausto showed no mercy towards Alejandro’s wife and daughter. Fausto cut off the head of Alejandro’s wife and threw Alejandro’s daughter in a vat of acid. That is not merely a casual killing; it is gratuitous, premeditated, cold and calculated murder. I know that the drug cartels make billions of dollars off of the drugs that they peddle. But at a deeper level, these drug cartels murder people as a blood sacrifice unto the devil. This blood sacrifice gives them power from the devil–just like their Aztec, Toltec and Mayan forebears.

“There is nothing new under the sun. Fausto was definitely a bloodthirsty psychopath.”

Two comments:

A God thing happened late this afternoon. I was watching the film Sicario on Bit Chute when I noticed that I got a notification on YouTube. It was a reply to a comment I put on this video where two Green Berets discuss the film Sicario (“GREEN BERET Reacts to Sicario”). What are the odds of that?! [31 July 2022]

Pauli: Something incredible happened just after I read your comment. I went back to the film Sicario. I wanted to hear where Alejandro says, “Time to meet God”–just before he kills the cartel boss and his family. I took a guess and started the film at around the 1:46:50 mark RIGHT BEFORE ALEJANDRO SAYS, “TIME TO MEET GOD”! It was just a guess! That is an absolute God thing!

What does this mean? I believe the dream means that the Lord is going to kill some very evil men in the near future. I have heard from several prophetic voices that the Lord has released an Angel of Death in the earth to deal with some very evil men. When the justice of men fails, then the Justice of the Most High God is coming quickly. GOD’S JUDGMENT. [7 August 2022]

Caretaker of the House - The White House



Dreams from the LORD 2003-2006
1 July 2004

Last night, I had a dream where I was talking candidly with President George W. Bush. He was smiling. President Bush left the house we were in and I stayed behind. It seemed like I was the caretaker of the house. Then it was nighttime and German terrorists attacked the house. I saw people running around the grounds of the house I was living in. The grounds of the house were extensive. They (the German terrorists) had a fancy jet fighter and they were strafing the house. The jet fighter was red and black and it crashed close to the house. Then this well-dressed, blond-haired German, who was a secret agent, walked up to me with a wicked smile on his face and said that he was here to kill me. He had a syringe in his hand with a long needle—the syringe contained some highly lethal poison. I told him that no poison could kill me. I bared my arm and told him to inject me with the poison. He injected the poison into my arm and you could see the green poison go into my veins, but nothing happened—I did not die.

President McKinley's Dream




















Dreams from the LORD 2007-2010

"McKinley had other concerns behind his decision to go to war. He was constantly being criticized by Theodore Roosevelt and other warmongers for a 'lack of backbone'. (Of course, in the hysterical frenzy of 1898, not supporting war was actually a very brave stand.) McKinley also was afraid that not going to war would give the Democrats and his arch-nemesis, William Jennings Bryan, a campaign issue to use against the Republicans in 1900. McKinley knew that if he refused to send in the troops after Congress declared war, the Democrats would use this fact to destroy him in the 1900 election. Finally, a highly devout Christian, McKinley claimed to have been commanded in a dream to send the country to war. Conveniently, the religious experience coincided perfectly with the various pressures forced on McKinley at the time. And even at the same time as he committed the US to war because of a belief in democracy and a religious experience, he still couldn't help but hope that, 'perhaps it will pay.'"


U.S. Goes to War:  1898

["Finally, a highly devout Christian, McKinley claimed to have been commanded in a dream to send the country to war."  This reminds me of what T.S. Eliot wrote about John Milton:   "The civil war of the seventeenth century, in which Milton is a symbolic figure, has never been concluded. . ."  Essentially, the English Civil War in the 1600s is still being fought today throughout the world through Anglo-America (Christian) influence.

The Lord destroyed the Spanish Armada in 1588, so that England would be free of Spanish Catholic Slavery and so that the English would be free to propagate the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout Great Britain and the rest of world through their future empire.  The Lord told President McKinley to go to war against Spain in 1898 to free Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam and Havana from Spanish influence.  (I guess McKinley could have also invoked the Monroe Doctrine)]

"An incident well worth space here is that just before the shooting, at the reception, the President stooped to pet a little girl and to speak a kind word to the child's mother. The next person in the line was the assassin, Czolgolz. Two shots were fired, and when the President perceived the fury of the crowd toward his assailant, he cried : 'Let no one hurt him.'

"To those who bent over his death-bed, including his invalid wife, the dying President's last words were:

"'Good-bye all. It is God's way. His will be done, not ours.'"


[William McKinley was President of the United States from 1897 to 1901; he was succeeded by Theodore Roosevelt after his assassination. McKinley fought the Spanish-American War and later annexed the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam and Hawaii; he set up a protectorate over Cuba.]
