Super Bowl Victory:  Coincidence or Apocalypse?

The St. Louis Rams’ recent Super Bowl victory, their first ever as a professional football franchise, foreshadows nothing less than the end of civilization as we know it.
First of all, one needs to realize that the ram is symbolic of the devil (the horns of Satan) and his various beastly cohorts.

     And another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon having
     seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven crowns.
     (Revelation 12.3)

     And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads,
     and on his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads were blasphemous names.
     (Revelation 13.1)

     And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a
     lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
     (Revelation 13.11)

The symbolism in the Book of Revelation is indeed obvious.  Interestingly, the ram, in the form of a syllable, has found its way into recent headlines of sinful conduct.  We’ve all been exposed to the questionable innocence of John and Patsy Ramsey.  The LAPD Rampart Division scandal comes to mind as well.  All in all, the word “ram,” and hence the name of the football team, is nearly synonymous with evil. Moreover, the cheer “Go Rams!” is an anagram for Orgasm.  As is plainly evident, the pursuit of orgasm is the driving force behind premarital and non-procreative intercourse.  Speaking of sex, the Rams’ cheerleading squad goes by the name of The Embraceable Ewes, which immediately suggests Bestiality to any sane mind.

      Needless to say, the first harbinger arrived in the mid-sixties.  The Los Angeles Rams’ most famous defensive front four, dubbed The Fearsome Foursome, played together for four seasons, from 1963 to 1966.  They disbanded just before the first Super Bowl in January 1967.  The Fearsome Foursome moniker is obviously a thinly veiled reference to The Four Horsemen (of the apocalypse.)  In that context, let’s now examine the names of the four members:

                                   Rosie Grier
                                   Deacon Jones
                                   Lamar Lundy
                                   Merlin Olsen

Notice that each last name contains 5 letters, representing the 5 points of the pentagram (symbol of devil worship).  

1. Lamar Lundy, the least remembered of the four, has the word “ram” backwards in his first name.  Make no mistake about it – backwards is bad.  Why else is the Lord’s Prayer, when recited backwards, called the Devil’s Paternoster?  Why else is backward masking the preferred technique for implanting evil messages in popular songs?
  
2. Deacon Jones: Although most folk think of a low-level church official when they hear the word deacon, it is also a slang verb meaning to falsify, to doctor, to adulterate, or to deal with deceptively.
  
     And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called
     the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world…
     (Revelation 12.9)
  
3. Merlin Olsen: The legendary Merlin was the magician who helped King Arthur.  Don’t you think that “magician” is a rather benign, euphemistic title?  In reality, Merlin was a wizard, a practitioner of sorcery.
  
     And the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues… did not
     repent of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their immorality
     nor of their thefts.  (Revelation 9.20-21)
 
4. Rosie Grier: One needs to dig deep to uncover the message of doom here.  Take a look at Rosie's full name, Roosevelt "Rosie" Grier.  It’s an anagram for
"Evil Terror Rises, OOGE" – OOGE being an acronym for One Of Great Evil.

      Cutting back to more current events, such as Super Bowl XXXIV itself, and the season leading up to it, let’s take a gander at the two leaders who were instrumental in the Rams’ success – starting quarterback Kurt Warner & head coach Dick Vermeil.  As indicated, the quarterback’s last name begins with “war.”  Also, note that Vermeil is an anagram for “Evil R me” (evil army.)  The profound correlation cannot be ignored.  Thus, when Kurt Warner bellowed “Thank you, Jesus” during the post-game celebration, he was actually offering sincere gratitude to the Lamb for breaking the seventh seal, thereby unleashing the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

      Taken individually, these items mean next to nothing.  Collectively, however, they build quite a case.  The biblical significance of the Rams’ victory, especially in the year 2000, cannot be denied.  Even John Lennon knew about the connection.  Take, for example, his “song” Revolution 9, which appears as the penultimate piece on the Beatles’ White Album.  Incidentally, it’s more of a “montage of sound” than a song.  Nonetheless, the title itself is an ill-cloaked allusion to Revelation 9, the precise chapter of the Bible that prophesies the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!  Sure enough, as one might expect, the piece features football imagery.  One first hears it at the 5 ˝ minute mark, and then once again at the end.  In fact, Revolution 9 fades out to the sound of a crowd chanting “Block that kick!”
