Lightbulb Jack Van Impe

Did you ever take a look at the names Rexella and Jack Van Impe? In classic literature the devil's minions are always unveiled by their names.

Rexella - That's Rex as in King and Ella meaning the female form. So Rexella means Queen.

Jack - Means Rogue or Scoundrel and he is married to the queen which makes him The Scoundrel King.

Van Impe - Van meaning the leading element of an army and Impe (the old spelling of Imp) is a small childlike demon. So Van Impe is the leading element of an army of small childlike demons.

So, Jack Van Impe the leader of the TV Evangelists is The Scoundrel King of the leading element of an army of small childlike demons.

"leading element of an army of small childlike demons" sure sounds a lot cooler than "from Impe," Impe being a small town in Belgium.

I figured that out years ago since they take so much joy in what they see as the coming end of the world.

I love "Rexella," because it's so trailer park.

I would call him Jack the Little Devil since that is what an imp really is.
