MYSTERY BABYLON (130)

Dubroom Online - Edition June 3, 2008
"MYSTERY BABYLON (130)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, June 3 2008 - "What's in A Name?", someone asked a few centuries ago. The answer obviously is: "An Identity". But in the case of Mystery Babylon, it goes even further as it matters which language you apply when you speak her name.

Mysterious? Yes, that's why she's called Mystery. Something which is hidden.

Babylon's Identity is hidden in her name, and it matters which language you speak when it comes to the definition you apply to that name. For the definition we apply, show our identities too!

Translated from her own language, the name "Babylon" stand for "Gateway To (The) God(s)".

Translated from the ancient Hebrew language, however, the name has a totally different meaning even though the word stays the same and is also used to identify the same Mystery or Shitstem.

Translated from Hebrew, the word "Babylon" means "confusion".

MESSIAN DREAD - MERCHANDIZE IN THEIR HANDS (ALBUM VERSION) DUBROOM MESSAGE BOARDS STILL OFFLINE!

MESSIAN DREAD - MERCHANDIZE IN THEIR HANDS (ALBUM VERSION)

MESSIAN DREAD - MERCHANDIZE IN THEIR HANDS
DUBROOM MP3 RELEASE



TRACK DESCRIPTION

This is the 2nd track of my album "Showcase".

This track is also in One Drop style. But much more traditional than the previous one. And much slower, too!

Starting with the vocal part, in which it becomes clear just who are the merchandize and in whose hands they are.

Throughout the whole track, there's some Dub mixing going on, but only after the singing is when the Dub really starts.

During this Dub, there's some toasting in a Rootsman Style.

LYRICS

The days are coming,
Yes the time is at hand
When all Jah people
Got to overstand

About false teachers
And the game that they play
How they sell JAH People
And the Gospel of Christ

They call themselves
Pastor, preacher or president
Your faith is their labour
You're merchandize in their hands

They are slave master
So Jah people take care
They are vampire
So Jah people beware

Beware of the vultures
The Christian industry
They imitate cultures
For the love of money

They say it's their mission
But it's their business I say
They claim it's their mission
For which you have to pay

But when read up my Bible
I don't see it like that
I read up the Scriptures
It's something different I get

And when I reason with them
They tell me all kinds of thing
And while they blame it on the system
They are working for it.

(DJ)

Yeah, you know...
When Yesus Kristos went to the market place
And when he went to the Temple Yard
He saw the same thing

And so He took a whip
And drove them out of the Temple Yard
and bring them right back
To the marketplace

Cause them sell out
the very Faith of the Faithful
Seen?

And that is why we got to speak the truth
Speak it ever
Forward ever
And backward never.

DUBROOM MESSAGE BOARDS STILL OFFLINE!

Greetings!

Yesterday, I had to announce that the Dubroom Message Baords were not where they are supposed to be, namely out there in Cyberspace and accesible for everyone. Yes, the boards are off-line and there is nothing I can do about it.

The reason is, that all the websites of the Message Board provider are offline. This scares me a little bit, because it could very well be that they ended their services without telling their customers. However, obviously I check 100 times a day to see if something is offline and the main website, www.xsorbit.com, was online for a minute or two so for now I also consider the possibility that the company hjas some major site issues.

It's not just a bad thing for all those people that like to visit and participate in the Message Boards, but also for me as I use the messageboard to create the right lay out for this weblog. A technical thing, but the fact that the board is offline increases the amount of work I have to do every do significanty.

Anyway, please pray with me that the boards will be online soon again. I'll keep you posted, and when there is no more forum I will obviously look into another possibility.

One Love, Give Thanks,
Messian Dread
