An Appearance Like Horses

The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. --Joel 2:4

[they] ...saw the most beautiful but completely bestialized creatures of the male human species imaginable, differentiated from one another by variations in hair color and the pattern of their body hair, the actual size and shape of their muscles and genitals, some with larger pecs, some larger arms, some thicker cocks, or longer or bigger balls, but all the kind of variations you might see on a farm of prime thoroughbreds, different as individuals, but all of the same magnificent physical and sexual development. And as manageable as a stable of fine horses. --A Hot July. FanTCMan

Just some more interesting parallels between gay porn and ancient prophecy. I notice that I've been quoting FanTCMan rather a lot, and the reason is two-fold: I enjoy his writing and I think the holy spirit flows through it, but also because a complete archive of his stories can at last be found at O'Melissokomos: The Bee Keeper.

If you've been reading along, you know that the fallen angels in The Book of Enoch were also compared to horses, specifically: their genitals. The children of these angels and mortal women were called "Nephilim", AKA "giants". These half-breed children of mortal men and immortal angels were also called "mighty men"...

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. --Genesis6:4

The "mighty men which were of old, men of renown" are the heroes of ancient myth - Heracles being the 'classic' example. Joel says that the 'latter days' army of God "shall run like mighty men". Hmmm... mighty men, hung like horses, ancient gods, super heroes - somehow, it all seems connected.

Mr. Deity Episode 9: Mr. Deity and the Book

Mr. Deity is a light-hearted spoof of Christian myths that portray the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as a homosexual three way - which is pretty much how I see it too.

Slaves of Eros

One of the hottest homoerotic stories I've ever read is 'A Breed Apart', by Morgan Blackthorne. It's a tale of sci-fi/bondage, and it made me blow so hard I can still see the stars. I was sort of freaked the first time I read it because it's a story of forced sexual servitude, imprisonment and humiliation. I hated it. But my cock loved it. Boy, did it EVER love it. I wondered what dark thing was inside of me that would find a story like that soooo hot.

In a nutshell, it's the story of straight Marine Jake, who is sold into slavery by his own government to an alien race. The alien who owns Jake is a 7 foot 5 inch giant muscle stud with a 15 inch dick. The alien makes Jake addicted to alien cum, and genetically engineers Jake to require alien "seed" for food, and ONLY alien seed. How does Jake get fed? You guessed it - he has to suck it out of the alien's cock! The scene where Jake - the straight marine stud - realizes that he wants to suck this dick, he needs to suck it, and sucking the cum out of that big dick becomes the single most important thing in his life at that moment. Fuuuck... that really does something to me.

As it turns out, the alien needs Jake's seed just as much as Jake is made to need the alien's seed. The aliens, thanks to eons of bio-engineering, have become infertile, and yet, vigorous human semen gives them the ability to again reproduce. So Jake is "milked" for his seed, and that's not all bad, as you can well imagine. The hunky marine is certainly a slave, but he's not made to pick cotton in a field or sit in a cubicle all day, he's made to cum! This slave's only requirement is that he experience sexual ecstasy as often and as fully as he is able, because by doing that, he gives the aliens his seed, and that is what they want. In return, Jake is given the benefits of alien bio-engineering: his life-span will grow by thousands of years, he'll become virtually immune to disease or even physical injury, he'll grow taller, more muscular, MUCH better hung - he'll get a complete makeover, he'll be remade into their image.

In the end, Jake willingly surrenders to his alien overlords.

When I first read this story, my mind was filled with ideas of revolt and revenge - I really, really wanted to get even with those alien bastards! But Morgan had done a fine job creating a prison without any loose bars - there wasn't an obvious way out. The weird thing was... I may have wanted a way out, but my cock was very happy there. So I kept going back and re-reading it.

The Bondage/Discipline/Leather scene is iconic in gay culture. The Master/Slave relationship is done so often it's practically become a parody of itself. I have to wonder, what is it that compels a man to give up his freedom? What is so powerful that he'll even give up all the freedoms that society claims are so sacred? Maybe it's sexual ecstasy - and maybe that is the pearl of great price:

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. --Matthew 13:45-46

My society tells me that freedom is the highest good. My free will is all that matters, my individuation is holy. My mind, my ego, completely agree, and it fights against any threat to its throne. A view well expressed almost everywhere, but especially in occult teaching:

The whole and sole object of all true magickal training is to become free from every kind of limitation. - Aleister Crowley, Magick in Theory and Practice

It's as if my cock and my mind are at war. The head on my shoulders agrees with Crowley, but the head between my legs wants to submit, and to serve.

The Church of Brotherly Love

In Revelations 2-3, Jesus admonishes seven of his holy churches. All but one church hear a dire warning... and a call to repent. The only church found truly faithful after all the years, is the Church of Philadelphia.

Rev 3:7-13

To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:

These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.

Philadelphia is Greek for "brotherly love". The Greeks are rather famous (and infamous) for a certain kind of love - the love of one "brother" for another. What if... what if Jesus is talking about US?

I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars...

Gay people have been pretty much despised for all of recorded history. I have a feeling that at it's core, homophobia revolves around the little fact that we don't contribute to the "sacred human seed". We don't make more men (soldiers, merchants, kings), and so way down on some deep level, we're next to "useless" to those involved in the Great Work.

I think we gay men know who the real enemy is - where that "synagogue of Satan" is to be found.

I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.

Woah! How much homoerotic fantasy revolves around THAT event? The arrogant straight dude somehow finds himself falling down at your feet, sucking your cock, asking... even begging for it!

Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.

That "hour of trial" is what the the Book of Revelation describes. Not exactly cheerful reading, at least, not until the end.

I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.

A man's "crowning glory" is his cock, everyone knows that, or at least every homo knows that. Keep a good hold on it. (Like I even need to mention it?)

Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

It's interesting how similar this verse is to Isaiah 56:5 - the old testament promise of God to eunuchs (homosexuals):

to them I will give within my temple and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.

Sounds to me like he's talking to the same "church".

The Rod of Iron

And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. --Revelation 2:27

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. --Revelation 12:5

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. --Revelation 19:15

I can feel my cock, hard as a fucking iron rod, jerking, hard, shooting a load that feels like it's going on forever. --FanTCMan

How many times have I heard a cock described like that in gay porn? About a million. A steel rod. An iron rod, a rock hard pillar, a throbbing, hard fucking ROD.

The "rod of iron" is mentioned three times in the book of Revelation. Three times! That's three times more than the infamous 666, the subject of so much attention. What is so damn important about Jesus' rod of iron? Why is it mentioned not one, not two, but three times?

Forgive me for connecting a few rather obvious dots, but the rod of Jesus is his big dick!

Considering Rev 2:27 again. If "rod" means what I think it means, it sheds a provocative light onto the nature of Jesus' relationship with his Father. Jesus frequently referred to his heavenly father as "Abba", which translates into "Daddy". I know of only one kind of relationship where a grown man calls another man "Daddy".
