Whether some of you realize it or not, our nation has been slip sliding away for literally decades. However, the slide has been so slow, so gradual, and so subtle, that it wasn’t until about halfway through the decade of the 2010s that a lot of people really began to wake up to what has been going on. However, sadly, by that time, it was already too late. Serious damage had already been done, and the victory had already been won. What has been going on since then basically amounts to mopping up exercises and tying up the loose ends. And boy are they doing a good job of it!
So exactly what am I talking about?
Well, do you remember a few decades ago — back in the 1970s, actually — when the LGBTQ+ crowd began claiming that they just wanted to be left alone to live their lives as they please without harassment or discrimination?
Fast-forward fifty years, and you will see one long history of continuous lies, as they aggressively advanced their radical, extreme agenda.
Then came gender reassignment surgery.
Then came renegade, liberal circuit court judges who repeatedly overturned the will of the people.
Then came renegade, liberal state legislatures who likewise overturned the will of the people.
Then came civil unions.
Then on June 26, 2015 came nationwide legalization of same-sex “marriage” by mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States, despite the majority of the American people being opposed to it.
Then came openly gay or lesbian bishops, pastors, priests, politicians, actors, sports figures, and everyone in between.
Then came same-sex union blessings in some of the churches.
Then came adoption of normal, healthy children by same-sex couples.
Then came law suits against Christians and Conservatives who follow their hearts and their faith, and who oppose the LGBT lifestyle.
Then came library books which openly promote the LGBT lifestyle.
Then came gender-neutral bathrooms.
Then came drag queens in our public schools during children’s story hour.
Then came teaching LGBT history in the classroom.
Then came liberal parents who encourage their children to act and dress like the opposite sex.
Then came hormone injections, puberty-blocking drugs in young children and double mastectomies on adolescent girls in order to alter their natural-born physiology so that they could appear outwardly the way that they were being made to feel inwardly by misguided adults and parents.
Then came a gender-neutral option on birth certificates.
Now they promote their ungodly lifestyle in every area of the entertainment and mass media industries where they possibly can, and constantly shove it in our faces. It is inescapable; unless one goes and lives in a cave.
Now, in the latest news, according to an article in The Washington Times, some liberal-minded schools aren’t happy with just offering LGBTQ+ books in their school libraries. Now they want to FORCE young children with impressionable minds to read them, whether they like it or not.
Yes, but of course, as they said, they just wanted to be left alone. Right? If you believe that nonsense, then you are seriously deceived!
Thankfully, some parents are fighting back and taking it to the US Supreme Court. If the justices accept the case, let’s hope that the God-fearing justices on the bench will do what is right in the sight of God by giving these brave parents a victory.
But concerning the LGBTQ+ agenda, well I say this:
What about us? What about our right to live in a Bible-based, God-fearing society which honors and obeys God’s natural order of things? How much longer will God endure this madness and rebellion against His holy Laws? When will His patience finally run out? When will His judgments begin to fall on the wicked who mock Him everyday, and who cast His Word to the ground? As the Apostle John wrote some two thousand years ago:
“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” 1 John 5:19, KJV
If John were alive today, oh how he would shudder!
Article: “Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah: A Warning to Modern Society”:
By the way, when we come to Jesus Christ and are reborn in the Spirit, the Scriptures make it very clear that we should undergo a spiritual and mental change in our lives, and that we should in fact become NEW CREATURES in Jesus Christ. We should NOT remain the same, living our same old life style, and living in our same old sins. That means that people who belong to the LGBTQ crowd should NOT continue practicing their sexual deviancy. Here is Scriptural proof:

UTOPIAN DREAM MACHINE — a dream, poem and super graphic by Bill Kochman
“They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.”
Jonah 2:8, KJV
This is a “super graphic”. Please click the image in order to see it full size.
Dear Friends,
The strange poem you are about to read is based on a real dream which I had in September of 2014.
I had already gone to bed, and hoped that I would sleep for the night. However, a short while later, I woke up with some vivid thoughts and images still in my mind, from a dream I had just had.
I normally do not remember my dreams. However, the fact that I remembered portions of this one, suggested to me that it might have some importance. So, I immediately got out of bed, sat in my computer chair, and began to write the following poem, in which I describe what I remember from the short dream.
After completing the poem, I felt that to do the subject justice, rather than make my customary 500 x 400 pixel graphic, I should design one of my 1280 x 960 pixel “super graphics” instead.
To be honest, I am really not certain what this dream means, if anything. I will tell you what I think, and then you can leave your own comments as well.
While the dream may simply be symbolic of television networks which psychologically manipulate people day after day, and year after year, telling them how to view the world, who to vote for, what to eat, what to wear, where to shop, how to view other leaders and nations, etc., perhaps there is more to it than that.
I was reminded of a number of things as I pondered the dream, and constructed this poem.
I have mentioned before a very interesting movie that I saw a number of years ago called “Surrogates”. I won’t spoil the plot for you in case you haven’t seen it yet, but the film is based on the premise of what our world will be like in the future, based on the current trends in computer technology.
Considering such things as the iPhone, iPad, virtual reality, cloud computing, Google Glass, and similar things, I can’t help but wonder if this dream isn’t meant to serve as a warning of things to come. What if what I saw in the dream is a precursor to the scenario that is suggested in the “Surrogates” movie? A very unsettling thought indeed!
Please let me know what you think of the poem and graphic. I put hours of work into this project.
I believe that Jesus and the First Century Apostles and Disciples were the Firstfruits of the Resurrection. Furthermore, based upon my understanding of the Scriptures, I believe that God has been working throughout the ages since that time to bring in the latter fruits and the latter harvest.
“Firstfruits of the Resurrection” KJV Bible Verse List:
“And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Matthew 9:10-13, KJV
“For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.” Matthew 11:18-19, KJV
“But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.” Matthew 21:28-32, KJV
“And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Mark 2:16-17, KJV
“And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. And he left all, rose up, and followed him. And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them. But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Luke 5:27-32, KJV
“For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified of all her children.” Luke 7:33-35, KJV
“Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.” Luke 15:1-10, KJV
At first glance, one may be tempted to mock and ridicule this bathroom design. He may even consider it a major architectural design flaw, or theorize that perhaps the construction workers were drinking on the job. However, that is the furthest thing from the truth. In fact, this design was intentional, and offers some unique advantages over traditional bathroom designs. For example:
1. It prevents the cat from becoming trapped in the bathroom.
2. It is easier to hear when the bathtub water is overflowing.
3. It lowers the risk of suicide.
4. It motivates members of multi-member families to not spend more than their allotted time in the bathroom each morning.
5. An angry spouse can never slam the bathroom door in your face when there is a disagreement.
6. A creaking door will never give you away when you sneak into the bathroom in the wee hours of the morning to do whatever you are doing in there.
7. Inhibits reading girlie mags while sitting on the john.
Feel free to add other positive aspects of this type of bathroom design. There are obviously many more.
Friends, if you happen to encounter a broken HTML link in one of my posts, so that you are unable to visit a certain page or blog post on the Bill’s Bible Basics website, please don’t just ignore it and pass it by. Please take a minute to leave me a short comment so that I realize that the broken link needs to be fixed on my end. Unless someone tells me, I may not even know that a particular link is broken. The truth is that I keep very busy with the BBB ministry, and I work long hours, sometimes to the point where my eyes get blurry and I miss things. So, your help is appreciated. Thanks so much!

I really don’t participate in all of the Bernie memes, mainly because I don’t believe in ridiculing people just because they embrace views which are different from my own.
However, I saw this graphic on my Facebook friend’s timeline. So, I got a sudden inspiration, started joking around, and I ended up composing the following silly poem. My friend complimented me, apparently appreciating my humor and sarcasm. So, I decided to share the poem with all of my friends here. Thus, here you go.
