Introduction
If End of Times is in 2012 then there may have been messages from God indicating this. Conventional sources of religious inspiration such as synagogues, churches and mosques, are frozen in tradition, using texts that are unchanged for centuries, so those messages did pop up somewhere else. In many cases the medium for giving those messages turned out to be pop music. As songwriters and artists wrote texts with their own intentions, some songs contain messages from God.Therefore the existence of a song named God is a DJ probably is not a coincidence. To the artists and songwriters involved, it may be a suprise that their songs are used in this way.
"I am the one the only one, I am the god of kingdom come", is a line sung by Queen in the song Gimme The Prize. It may be no coincidence that Queen was singing this line, because the God of kingdom come is a Queen. The song Joga of Björk suggests that the accidents and incidents surrounding the emergency telephone numbers, such as the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon are not a coincidence [2] but are to be deciphered by a specific person [1].
God appears to tell Her prospective husband to prepare for the things to come the most clearly in the album The Great Escape of Ilse De Lange. This is confirmed by a number of unusual coincidences surrounding the singer and the album (see also: The Great Escape). The theme of Jesus being the bridegroom of God again can be found in the song The infant king of The Nits [1]. On the background there seems to be a social or financial collapse.
A number of songs indicate that God is a woman. Also there are songs suggesting that there is a love affair between God and Adam (Abraham, Jesus, Mohammed), songs suggesting that a major change is coming and songs suggesting that the United States will be the first country to change. Most messages are subtly hidden in the lyrics. Some lyrics point at the situation in the future. The existence of messages from God in popmusic is curious considering the fact that some Christians suspected that there were Satanic messages hidden in pop music. However it is not possible to predict the future so it is better not to jump to conclusions based on suggestions made in pop music lyrics.
Interpretation
There are hundreds of thousands of pop music lyrics so the messages in popmusic could be mere coincidences. As nothing happens by accident (see also: The Matrix: incidents, accidents and coincidences), it is reasonable to assume that at least some messages in popmusic are intended by God. This is confirmed by the unusual coincidences surrounding the album The Great Escape of Ilse De Lange see also: The Great Escape), which is the most clear example of God addressing Her prospective husband.
Interpreting music is not science. To achieve some objectivity, alledged hidden messages must show some consistency. Most messages are subtle and interpretations are subjective. Messages from God can be found in the following songs:
- many songs of Paul Simon and the Dutch singer Boudewijn de Groot. They appear to have the same role. In his song Hoogtevrees (Fear of hights) Boudewijn de Groot points at this connection himself;
- songs in the following albums: This is the Life of Amy MacDonald, Love over Gold of Dire Straits, Sleepwalking of
Gerry Rafferty, The Great Escape of Ilse De Lange, The Kick Inside of Kate Bush and Adieu Sweet Bahnhof of The Nits;
- some songs of Björk, Eagles, Katie Melua, Led Zeppeling, Leonard Cohen, Pink Floyd, Queen and Tracy Chapman.
Some lyrics have no comprehensible meaning without knowledge of the hidden messages in it. For example, the song Mother and child reunion of Paul Simon may refer to the current reincarnation of Adam bringing a child to God, because the song indirectly refers to Mother Mary [2] via the song Let it be of The Beatles. The lyric could indicate that Eve (Mary) became the Mother of Adam's child in a mysterious way, possibly by placing Her ovum in the womb of his wife at the moment of impregnation. The song suggests he was not aware of this and he was caught by surprise when finding this out. He seems to tell Her that She cannot keep the child [3]. Without this explanation the meaning of this lyric remains obscure. More songs of Paul Simon have obscure meanings and not all of those songs can be explained in this way.
A number of artists have played with the idea that God could be a woman or could be one of us. It has been the theme of songs like God is a woman of Lou Bega [1], If God was a woman of Bon Jovi [1] and If God was one of us of Joan Osbourne [1]. Because the thoughts have been made explicit in those songs, there was no subconscious process behind it. Therefore those songs have less value in supporting the case that God has put messages in popmusic.

Symbolism
Introduction
When making use of symbolism it is possible to discover more messages hidden in pop music. There are a number of symbols and themes that may refer to the situation. The following symbols and themes can be identified:
- the Sun as the male symbol and the Moon as the female symbol;
- Paris and New York as references to Paradise;
- Graceland, Memphis and Elvis as references to Paradise and Jesus;
- The snake and the number 18, as references to evil as 18 is three times six (666).
Sun and moon
The sun is often seen as the male symbol while the moon is often seen as the female symbol. Therefore the Moon may refer to God or women in general, while the sun may refer to Her husband or men in general. Also in Genesis 37:9 this symbolism is mentioned when Joseph had a dream in which the Sun, the Moon and eleven stars, referring to his father, mother and brothers were bowing down to him.
References to the sun and the moon can be found in the following songs:
- Achter de hemelpoort (Behind the gates of heaven) - Boudewijn de Groot [1]
- Darling Lorraine - Paul Simon [1]
- Eclipse - Pink Floyd [1]
- Sammy - Ramses Shaffy [1]
- Set the controls for the heart of the sun - Pink Floyd [1]
- Under African skies - Paul Simon [2]
Paris and New York
Eindhoven is a Dutch city in the south of the Netherlands and the meaning of the word Eindhoven is Final Gardens. The storyline of this world is that we came from the Garden of Eden and are going to our destination, the final gardens of Paradise. Eindhoven is also called the City of Light because the Dutch electronics giant Philips started there as a producer of lightbulbs. Like Eindhoven also Paris is called City of Light therefore any reference to Paris can be seen as a reference to Eindhoven or Paradise.
Paris is known as city of love and this may refer to the love affair between Eve and Adam. The developments surrounding the February 9, 2009 superstorm and a number of plane crashes in 2009 also suggest that Paris is part of God's scheme (see also: The Matrix: incidents, accidents and coincidences - February 9, 2009: The dark side of the Moon).
The nature of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden is never mentioned, but many people think that Eve and Adam were eating an apple from the forbidden tree. This is because the Latin word for apple is malus, which is similar to the word that means evil. New York is also called the Big Apple and so a reference to New York may be a reference to Paradise.
References to Paris and New York can be found in the following songs:
- Adieu Sweet Bahnhof - The Nits [1]
- Clean shirt in Paris - The Nits [3]
- Fairy Tale Of New York - Amy Mcdonald [1]
- Graceland - Paul Simon [3]
California, Graceland, Memphis and king
Graceland and Memphis may also refer to Paradise. Therefore any reference to Elvis may also be a reference to Jesus as they are both considered to be a king. This is confirmed in the song Pride (In the name of love) of U2 where Jesus is linked to the killing of Martin Luther King in Memphis [2]. The last name of Martin Luther King being King is another curious coincidence. Also the artist B.B. King lived in Memphis. More coincidences exist referring to king and Memphis point at the the importance of Memphis and Graceland (see also: The Matrix: incidents, accidents and coincidences - Political killings in the Netherlands and the United States).
The songs Graceland of Paul Simon and Walking in Memphis of Marc Cohn also refer to the (Mississipi) Delta. The delta is the final part of a river where the water flows into the sea. Memphis is not near the sea and therefore the delta may refer to the Netherlands which is also a delta area. In the opinion of God, the Netherlands probably was one of the countries close to Paradise. The Dutch also have little shame about sex. Because God is a shameless woman who likes sexist jokes, it may not be coincidence that the Interstate Highway 69 passes through Memphis Tennessee while the Dutch state route N69 passes through Eindhoven.
California may also refer to Paradise. Many people consider California to be a paradise because of the good weather and the beautiful beaches. California is one of the most liberal states in the United States, while the Netherlands is one of the most liberal countries in the world. Paradise is also a town in California. Even though some other states in the United States like Nevada have a town called Paradise, Paradise California is the oldest town with this name.
References to California, Graceland, Memphis and king can be found in the following songs:
- Going to California - Led Zeppelin [2]
- Graceland - Paul Simon [4]
- Hotel California - Eagles [3]
- Pride (In the name of love) - U2 [1][2]
- Walking in Memphis - Marc Cohn [1][2]
Snake and the number 18
Alledgedly there was a snake in Paradise. However the Quran mentions that the devil is talking to Adam and lures him into eating from the forbidden fruit. The number 18 is equal to 3 times 6 or 666 which also refers to the devil. Because there is no real difference between good and evil, while the conflict between good and evil also symbolises the conflict between Eve and Adam in Paradise, the snake and the number 18 can also refer to Adam.
References to snake and the number 18 can be found in the following songs:
- Clean shirt in Paris - The Nits [4]
- Fairy Tale Of New York - Amy Mcdonald [2]
- Halfway up the Hindu kush - Katie Melua [1]
