'The World Is Governed By Satan' Says Subliminal Star
Text by Jonty Skrufff (Skrufff.com)
Jorge Jaramillo chatted to Skrufff this week about his upcoming mix CD for Erick Morillo's house label Subliminal and revealed that he's actively awaiting the Bible's apocalyptic revelations as prophesised in Matthew 24.
"I believe that I'm still alive because of Jesus Christ, I found salvation some time ago and God has helped me to balance my life out," Jorge explained.
"I always watch this gentleman by the name of Dr Jack Van Impe on TV and he preaches the second coming of Christ and tells you to be prepared for his return and to watch for the signs. The one that really got me was the sign of the European Union. Soon it will be the super-power of the world and out of the European Union will come the anti-Christ that will proclaim himself as God," he predicted.
Jorge's favourite Biblical chapter, Matthew 24, is the one which predicts war, famines, pestilence and earthquakes, with non-believers being 'cut asunder' (in two) as end time arrives.
"Right now we're in the last days and Jesus himself said that at this point his name will be mocked and many believers will stray away from the faith and will themselves ridicule Jesus, and we see this happening right now with the Da Vinci Code," Jorge continued.
"It also says in the Bible that nations will come against Israel and will want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth and today you have this ruler in Iran saying 'this is what we're going to do' that shows we're definitely in the last days. I'm not talking two or three days exactly but soon," he added.
Jorge admitted however that despite his best intentions he can still be distracted by pretty girls in clubs, though stressed he sees no conflict between following his faith and DJing surrounded by clubland's temptations.
"No, because I've stopped drinking, I've stopped smoking, I'm married and I won't cheat on my wife; I just see it as flirting," he explained.
"I'll definitely admit though that when you're trying to lead your life through Jesus Christ and you're in those clubs, it's very tempting. What makes it really difficult is that we're living in this world and this world is governed by Satan so it's very easy to fall back to your old ways," Jorge added, "I can't tell you how many times I've sinned; how many times I've come back to the world and forgotten God, but he's always there for you."
Winter Sessions Volume 3, mixed by Jorge Jaramillo is out on Subliminal Records in March. Jorge also spins at the Miami Winter Conference.
