"The Last Voice of the Church Age" is Must Hear Radio

That'll get your attention, coming out of a radio speaker, especially when spoken by a voice whose resonance falls somewhere between Ted Williams and The Wizard of Oz.

The voice's owner declares it to be the last of the Church Age.

That is, the era that began on the first day of Pentecost, fifty days after Jesus' resurrection, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Disciples; that will end, believers say, when Jesus returns to earth.

For thirty minutes four nights each week, on short wave station WWRB, The Last Voice Of The Church Age dares the listener to think, about martial law, tyranny, collapsing economies, and the New World Order, while trying its best to scare the pants off him.

WWRB's presenters are everyday folks with a message for the world, who purchase air time and produce their own programs. Only on a station whose content can be stream-of-consciousness monologues delivered live via cell phone, could a show like The Last Voice Of The Church Age find a home.

By some short wave miracle YOU have wired into the most dangerous program on the face of the earth! I am the Doctor Richard Kimble of Bible prophecy . . . I am . . . THE FUGITIVE!

It's hard to tune away from a show whose presenter makes either statement.

The urgent nature of each transmission does make one think of the TV Fugitive, the original Dr. Kimble, in each episode one jump ahead of the law in his search for the one-armed man who murdered his wife.

I found the radio Fugitive the way most people do: by casually tuning through the short wave bands. There he was one night, among the more conventional preachers, and sellers of survival products. The highest compliment I can give any radio offering is to listen for a while, and ask myself: what IS this?

Ladies and gentlemen from around the world, assembled before pumped-up short wave radios . . .

Mine's not really pumped. Just an old Sony 2010 - still IMO the best digital radio ever made - with a longwire antenna running out the second floor window and down to the yard. And even that isn't necessary. WWRB on its 3.185 mHz evening frequency, directional .045degrees to eastern North American and Europe, is easy to hear on any short wave radio.

This is The Resistance Network!

That always makes me think of the Radio Free EuropeTV PSAs from the 60s, only with me on the wrong side of the not-soundproof Iron Curtain, scrunched near a hidden radio to hear the truth.

Little is known about The Fugitive. Maybe that's best. If too much about him was known, the mystique would be gone. He does talk about Illinois a lot, and says he's been on the air for thirty years. He's also mentioned being the grandson of Charles R. Taylor, writer and televangelist from Zion , Illinois , who wrote a book exposing King Juan Carlos of Spain as the Antichrist.

Each show becomes a half-hour meandering monologue, sprinkled with unprintables directed towards President Obama, former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel (fellow Illinoians!), Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano, past and present chairmen of the Federal Reserve, enemies of freedom in general, and on occasion unknowns whose sins must be specific to The Fugitive. I Google searched their names one night, and came up empty.

The radio listener's task is always to separate fact from fiction. From The Fugitive, the listener gets both. More than once, during the worst of January 2011's Queensland flooding, he described desperate crowds roaming empty streets in search of shops still stocked with food; an apocalyptic scene he forecasts for America once the dollar collapses. ("Blood . . . on the floor . . . of the American grocery store!") I read the Australian newspapers, and listened to 4KQ Brisbane's news coverage, and nothing like that ever happened. He did let Obama's handlers have it, good, for turning Christina Green's memorial service into a pep rally complete with a slogan ("Together We Thrive"), that appeared to kick off the 2012 presidential campaign.

Mixed nightly with the rhetoric is religion, per The Fugitive's claim to be the Dr. Kimble of Bible prophecy. Doomsday passages from the books of Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation are often cited, as are Romans 13:1-2 ("Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God . . . therefore, he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God . . . "). Used out of context by the Nazis to rationalize totalitarian rule, and by The Fugitive as a reminder of the dangers of placing blind trust in one's leaders, especially now.

The devil is also admonished, ordered to "sit down and shut up," and put in his place with:

Satan . . . YOU SUCK! Jesus . . . is Lord . . .

No one ever boiled Christianity down more effectively, into fewer words.

Rave-outs? Maybe. But Alex Jones is as equally passionate. Hyberbole? Yes, but what mainstream talk radio host doesn't stretch the boundaries of reality to keep listeners from turning the dial?

This mystery man is among the more amazing people I've heard in 50 years of listening to the radio. On the air two hours per week for at least the two years I've known about him; never a missed show, no script, no stumbling over words as would a broadcasting novice. He has nothing to sell, and doesn't ask for money or even offer to send free literature in return for a self-addressed, stamped envelope. To do any would require a mailing address, a PO box to be checked periodically, permanence that would make being The Fugitive impossible.

Radio this compelling, regardless of its content, is always worth a listen.

There's another reason to tune in. Someday The Fugitive, and alternative broadcasters like him, might be gone; chased off the air by political correctness. All you'll hear are slick preachers whose programs have fancy theme music, who spend most of their airtime asking for love offerings, and infomercials for herbal medicine. Then, the battle might be considered lost. An open society should have room for Fugitives. If it doesn't, it isn't open.
