Escape Artist Houdini

I was looking for an email address for a person and instead of google giving me the name of the person that I was searching for, I was given a page on Harry Houdini the 'Escape Artist'.

I then went to look at the information on Houdini and there was a news report. Houdini's last surviving stage assistant who found fame as Radio Girl was found dead at the age of 103. Dorothy Young, was a dancer and a patron of the arts.

Harry Houdini was one the most famous people in the world. Born Erik Weisz, in Budapest, Hungary in 1874. The son of a Rabbi who immigrated to Wisconsin in 1878. At the beginning of his career he called himself the 'KING OF CARDS', but soon turned his hand to escapology to become the 'Handcuff King'.

He attained success overnight and travelled the globe and he challenged the police. There is also a conspiracy theory surrounding his death. If you ponder on the word HOUDINI one associates it with the word ESCAPE.

So what does the bible say about ESCAPE? 

We have Noah and the Ark escaping the floods. King David escaped from Saul. Queen Ester was told that she would not escape just because she was in the King's house, although she did manage to bring justice to her people with the help of the King.

In Job 1:16  "another messenger came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”


Job 1:19 "mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”


Job 11:20 "the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; their hope will become a dying gasp.”


Now at dawn today, Abba said 'The hope of the enemy is diminishing'. 


Job 15:30 "He will not escape the darkness; a flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away."



Psalm 68:20 Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign LORD comes escape from death.


Psalm 124:7 We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.


Proverbs 11:9 With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors, but through knowledge the righteous escape.


Proverbs 12:13 Evildoers are trapped by their sinful talk, and so the innocent escape trouble.


Isaiah 20:6 In that day the people who live on this coast will say, ‘See what has happened to those we relied on, those we fled to for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?’”
He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape.Dan 11:42 


Before them fire devours, behind them a flame blazes. Before them the land is like the garden of Eden, behind them, a desert waste— nothing escapes them. Joel 2:3 This passage is talking about the spiritual that understand the signs. 


Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 21:36 


In the Dead Sea Scrolls Prophet Isaiah predicted that only one in a thousand would be able to stand before the descendent of Joseph that was promised to Moses. In the last days of the end times, Prophet Malachi also asked you to remember the promise made to Moses at Horeb. Why only one in a thousand? Only ONE in a thousand live in true integrity of the being. 


I have never read the book of Acts. However, it is interesting to note that the book of acts mentions the goddess Justice. 


"When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live.” Acts 28:4 


"While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape." 1 Thessalonians 5:3 


"They will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will" 2 Timothy 2:26 There we have the slanderer and adversary of God that creates the trap and takes them captive. 


"Shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him." Hebrews 2:3 


"See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?" Hebrews 12:25 


"Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 2 Peter 1:4 St Augustine wrote to St Jerome saying that evil really means 'less good'. 


Then finally in the book of Revelation chapter 18, is about fallen Babylon and that God will remember her crimes. Both chapters 17 and 18 are about the USA. The book of Revelation tells his people to come out of her, the USA, it is also called the land of ESAU in the biblical prophecies. Prophet Isaiah predicted that God's people would be driven out to build a new strong nation elsewhere. Only by leaving the USA will they escape the retribution that is coming upon it, for all that it has done as not been forgiven in the biblical prophecies. 


The biblical prophecies also predict that no matter how much they try to rebuild the USA, it will be destroyed again and again. This indicates that what is left of it, will be humbled in the sight of God, and that often happens to those that intent to build empires, by willingly oppressing poorer nations and keeping them in captivity. It is for all of the people of the North America to take responsibility for what is happening in the here and now. The oppression did not stop in the beginning, it continued to present day, a legacy of oppression breeds oppression of a never ending cycle of captivity. 


Also violence disempowers the soul and vexes the Spirit of God, and the USA was built upon a foundation of violence that crushed God's people of the SPIRIT, his people were then led astray to follow the ways of man instead of the heavenly Spirit and that is not forgiven. Abba told the USA that they must pay for what they have done.
