Answering the life’s question

If we glimpse back to the history of human life, we can see the struggles and efforts of many who were trying to discover their existence. We had heard about Aristotle, the view of Plato, and even the explanation of Socrates(too much to elaborate this guys’ findings though). And who could deny the powerful philosophies about life of the great Chinese Philosophers such as Mao Tse Tung, Lao Tze and others. But the saddest explanation of all, which is widely adopted by all whether in the higher class or lower class is the daring and thought to be convincing view of Charles Darwin. And by the authorship of Darwin the toil of finding the answer of life has become more complicated than before, Darwin’s theory is amplified more by the followers of his step namely Ailester Crowley, Martin Heidegger, Adolf Hitler and many other philosophers that asserted that life is more about survival and meaningless by chance. Not to mention the unimpaired support of some scientist.
The battle of finding life’s ultimate answer is being carried to a higher level. We could now see programs in public or nonpublic offering alternatives, religions have sprouted like mushrooms, and the most popular of all is the program endorse by the queen of talk-show herself, Oprah. The question is what will happen then to those who died before us without knowing the answer of life? And even now human being is still struggling to find the answer.
I will let you notice that you will find tons of belief or religion around the globe. We may conclude that the spiritual state of those people is yearning for something more spiritual and we can’t deny the fact that even ourselves long to have a thing that you can’t comprehend. This spiritual thirst is neglected and ignored by many especially those who are in the middle class up to the higher class. We may notice that the lower class is the ones who strongly grab this spirituality. The people in this class always see that even if they can’t have the goodies, glory and power in this world but rather insist that having the spiritual things are enough. Is this their alibi or their coping mechanism in life? But how about those people in the lower class who because of their slack state committed a crime?
It’s true that life is full of mystery and the struggle will continue until the day of one’s death. And the only alternative that others could avail is through achieving something in life, or having a family, become wealthy, or even suicides and many more options for human being. Though it is limitless, if we assume that there is only one answer that can fit all then the ratio of it is 1/limitless, can you get the picture? If you vie for something in this life it would be a battle of chances. Okay! 1/limitless, then you may think that if you pick one then your chance will be minute more than a dust, right?
For me, I have a difficulty of scaling this out. And I also know I’m very poor in picking something! So my solution in answering the life question is not religion but God Himself. The One who holds the blueprint of every life of human being and have the complete manual of every existence, He is the only One I could trust to pick from the 1/limitless ratio in this life because He is LIMITLESS. We could find the real and right answer out of the box of God, just remember He has the blueprint and manual of life.

Why bother me of this Revelation?

A survey made by the TIME/CNN in the United States of America, it is found that is scarcely reaching the 40% mark who are paying good attention than before in how the current news that relate to the end of the world, and also 60% of the survey stated that they believed on the prophecies which the Book of Revelation revealed and will surely come to past and for more detailed result you can check the Time Magazine labeling Apocalypse Now published on June 23, 2002. And 8 years later, we can say that the closer we are getting to the end times.
Well the Book of Revelation stated that the coming Christ which the mark of the end will be obvious and everyone will behold as He descend from heaven, how this be? The emerging technology nowadays will tend to make it happen. Apocalypse comes from a Greek word that literally means the lifting of the veil. These would depict how will people see the glorious coming of Christ, it would be a lifting of the heavens that will shake the whole world.
But prior to this we can read the Book of Revelation that the world be in chaos and will be ruled by the coming world leader known as the Antichrist who will implement the one world government that will control every person that lives on earth except those remaining Christian who missed the so called Rapture of the Church. The Antichrist will enforce the strict policy of no Mark-no-Transaction Policy.
Also in the beginning chapter of the Book is state that blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near. And in addition the Book declared that everyone will behold for the Christ is coming with the clouds of heavens and every eye will see Him coming down with the scepter in His hand, even those who did pierced that are risen from the grave and all the tribes of the earth will cry to Him.
The Book of Revelation, in the nutshell, is not about any religious movement or making the people converted but the Book is the sole record of what the Lord God will do in the near future. In addition the Book of Revelation is Word of God given to us, and composed of prophecies that will fulfill the coming end of the world. But so many people have declared that the things written in the Book of Revelation have already begun. And they based it with the prophecy that the Jewish nation will be reestablished in their homeland that was fulfilled in the late 1940’s. And followed by the Jews taking over Jerusalem in latter part of 1960 and the declaration of End Times is more founded but yet it turns out a false assumption as the Bible has stated.
So, why bother you with the Book of Revelation? So that you will be prepare in the coming end and whether you will be still alive or your name is already carved on the stone, you will be still take part of it. Whether you like it or not the Book of Revelation will take place soon!

Watching and Looking

This is my special commendation to you, dear friends and to all concern I am trying to stimulate your wholesome thinking and refreshing your mental awareness. I want you to understand and know what the holy prophets said long ago and also the kind warning of the follower of the Messiah and the Messiah Himself did said.
First, I want to remind you that in the last days there will be people that will negate the profession take I will share to you and who will laugh at the truth and do every evil thing and even to shame you. This will be their argument that many people who confessed and professed that the end of the world is at hand but until now even a shred of evidence is not found, and they mocked that as far back as anyone can remember, everything has stayed exactly the same since the world was first founded. They will deliberately forget that by the hand of God and by the word of his command the universe begun and He brought the earth up from the water and encircled it with water.
As in the old days God used the water to destroy the world in the form of a mighty flood. And God has also commanded that the heavens and the earth will be consumed by fire on the Day of Judgment, which the ungodly people will perish.
But you must also remember, my dear friends, that a thousand years is like a day to the Lord, and a day is like a thousand years. The Lord is not really has been unfaithful to His Word and being slow about his promise to return, as those mockers think. No, he is just patient and merciful for your sake. He does not want anyone to be consumed and be damned, and that He is giving more time for everyone to repent.
But the day of the Lord will come as a lightning and as a thief in the night. The heavens will have a great noise that though it trembles, and everything in the earth will be consumed with fire, and the whole world will be delivered to the throne for the final judgment.
And since everything that surrounds us are going to melt away, but the ones who live a holy life and receive the Lord Jesus Christ will forever live! So my friend I am commending you that you should look forward to that day and when God will set the heavens on fire for His Holy judgment and every matter will melt away in the flames to satisfy His wrath.
But if you do what the Lord Jesus Christ said then we will be looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised to all that believe in Him and receive His word, and a new world where everyone is right with God and enjoys the presence of the King of kings.
And so, my dear friends, wait patient for these things to happen because you have the ever failing promise of God, but instead make every effort to live a holy, pure and spotless life. And be at peace with God and do not fear but grow in the special act of kindness and understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The Shaking Time

In the last days, we will hear of wars and wages of wars everywhere, but then don’t be trouble at heart. Those wars must conclude, but yet the end is still to follow. Nation will face against nation, and kingdom versus kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes everywhere. And all of these will be the beginning of much pain. Sounds familiar? Here is another one that fearful events and great signs from heaven will take place. Yes! Those things are in the light of the Bible. What does it mean? It means that those things will be taking place someday.

Though the words of the Bible is yet to be fully fulfilled, not to scare you but instead be warned of the things that I will be sharing here below. The Bible is clear there will be a signs so let’s just check out some of the signs below, these are the major earthquakes that shook the 1990’s:

* On December 12, 1992 An earthquake having 6.8 magnitudes shook the eastern section of Indonesia and killed at more than 2,000 people.
* In the western and southern part of India, a huge earthquake measuring 6.4 had killed nearly 10,000 people on September 30, 1993.
* An earthquake that result major mudslides in Paez River valley in southwestern Columbia on June 6, 1994 about a thousand are killed.
* In Japan, January 17, 1995 an earthquake in 7.2 magnitudes killed more than 6,000 people living in Kobe.
* On May 28, 1995, in Russia, An earthquake measuring 7.5 killed almost 2,000 people in the eastern part of the country.
* In northern Iran, an earthquake with 5.5 magnitudes killed about 1,000 people February 28, 1997.
*May 10, 1997, eastern Iran near the Afghan border an earthquake of 7.1 killed 1,560 people.
*On February 4, 1998, Takhar province, Afghanistan an earthquake of 6.1 killed more than 4,000 people.
*May 30, 1998, Afghanistan shook by a 6.9 quake killing about 4,000 people in the Takhar province.
*July 17, 1998, a 7.1 quake shook Papua New Guinea that created three tidal waves, which killed more than 2,000 people.
*January 25, 1999 in the central region of Columbia an earthquake measuring 6.3 killed more than 1,000 people.
*August 17, 1999 in Turkey almost 18,000 people were killed by a 7.4 earthquake.
*September 21, 1999 in central Taiwan an earthquake measuring 7.6 killed more 2,000 people.
*And there’s more!
Now, not to add the 2000’s huge earthquakes in the list, you can be able to conclude that there is something wrong in the pattern and it seems to fulfill the signs the Bible is saying. I hope that this shaking truth will make you aware of the climactic event that is yet to come.

The Mark is Unleashed

This topic about the Mark of the Best is very common to every people nowadays. However, some people relate this topic to the concepts of urban myths, extravagant belief system, cults, prediction of Nostradamus, and other theory that conspire the society like UFOs.
So how this Mark of the beast came to life? Primarily, the concept of this matter is quoted from the Bible that stated on one of its passage that He (the beast) also coerced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to obtain a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.
The term Mark of the Beast eventually extracted from the Bible. It refers to a charismatic leader of the one world government system that will implement a mandate that will control people through registration and economics. We foresee that all people will be forced to receive a "mark" on the right hand or forehead so that the people could buy and participate in basic transactions of life. This mark can be a numeric code, a social security numeric code, or a bio-genetic identifier, or just plainly the mark 666. Maybe this is marked like a tattoo, barcode or implanted chip, no one knows! But recently we could noticed that because of the possible treat of terrorist attack, the simulation of the same procedure was implemented through the sophistication of technology, anything could be possible.
Well, to cite an example how this Mark could be unleashed in the future. Prior to the 9/11 on December 19, 2001, VeriChip Company introduced its implantable, radio frequency identification device or RFID that was proven to be a best security system. While on October 12, 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) instituted the use of RFID as a personal verification device for medical information and the used of this RFID is being widely commendable throughout the United States and little by little throughout the world. I am not saying that this is the Mark of the Beast but the process could be utilized by the Beast we don’t know this part of the plan. But just imagine that our government will strictly implement this system you would be controlled totally by the government, right?

The Final Coming

Predictions throughout our history have been so typical. Predicting the end of the world is not new to hear. Even the incoming events have been predicted by so many mediums, intellectuals, gurus and more. But how about the Second Coming of Christ, which is covered with so many false assumptions or predictions. But the relentless effort of many to predict the exact details of the coming of the Christ is more than ignorance but sure arrogance; they did know that the Christ Himself said that no one knows and will know about exact date or time, not even the heavenly hosts, neither Himself knows it, but only His Father. And he added that the coming day will be like a two men in the field, which the one will be taken and the other will be left behind. And even like two women on a hand mill, which the one will be taken and the other will be left behind. And so rather giving us assumptions, instead the Christ gave us an advice, to be in watching, because we don’t know on what day the Christ will come. But for sure He will come!

The best thing to do is we cross our fingers and live a life that pleases God and religiously wait for the time of the second and final appearing of Christ. Nevertheless, Jesus gave us some clues or signs so that we could keep on watching. To decode those clues we need to look for in His Words embedded in the Bible. There are tons of biblical passages about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ which the clues will be found.

Bear it in mind that no one but His Father the only Person who knows the exactness of the Christ’s coming. But we could know that it will come as lightning as said in the scripture stated at Matthew 24:27. Jesus will surely come again to take His church that He redeemed more than 2,000 years ago and that day He would execute His final judgment to world and to the rebellion of Satan. Amazingly, some acclaiming Christians that turn to be a group of cults believe and share that Christ has already returned but they can’t justify the claim and that it is obvious that their claim is not true because the Bible tells it so. It is also noted that before the day of His coming there are so many people who will be missing because the trumpet will blow that time and everyone who believe in Christ will be caught up into the sky to meet the Christ. So it will be a worldwide commotion, and so far it did not happen yet. But I suggest that don’t wait until it happen and make it sure you will be include to those who are missing.

Finally, bear in mind that Christ pointed out that NO ONE KNOWS! So instead of entertaining false prediction and soon claim false, give yourself the assurance of being “Caught Up” when the time of the final trumpet blows that signifies the Final Coming of Christ. And if did not yet give TOTALLY your life for Christ then that would be a barrier for you to attain His glorious celebration in His coming. So my dear reader, give your life a chance, give the best you have to Christ, everything in your life. It is worth it! Anytime you can ask the Lord for it.

Revelation on the dashboard

If you are a fun of prophecies and prediction then you would love the writing of John D’ Beloved. In his book called Revelation which is part of the Bible, John saw the heaven opened wide and talking to the resurrected Jesus Christ. Then John saw scenes in the sky and on the sea, which are the revelation of Christ to John about the coming events in the future.

The book of John is too hard to understand basically, and all theologians find it difficult to arrange the scene written in this book. But some made their timeline in such well mannered and so that I peradventure myself to look into it the book and tried some tracing. And I make my own dashboard where I tabulated some of the events that will be occurring in the near future and in the latter part the Seven Seals are introduced.

The first 5 chapters of the book, is not quite predicting but full of warnings, reprimands, and commendations. At chapter 6 the First Seal to the Sixth Seal are opened and the sealed144,000 Jews is introduced in chapter 7. At the introduction of chapter 8 the Seventh Seal is opened which introduced the beginning of the Seven Trumpets. And throughout the chapter until the ninth the First Trumpet to the Sixth Trumpet is blown, a third of the earth is burned. Then a third of sea life is destroyed, a third of the water is poisoned, darkness on the earth, attack of demonic locusts, and the attack of demonic armies occurred. However, before the Seventh Trumpet is blown at the beginning of chapter 11 the two powerful opponents of the antichrist are introduced while the last part the last Trumpet is blown and the Seven Vials of wrath of God is introduced.

On the other hand, at chapter 13 the antichrist is now known as the Beast that enforced the mark of the Beast which is the 666 and the antichrist or the Beast demanded the full loyalty of the world. After the blasphemous act of the Beast, chapter 16 would be the pouring of the Seven Vials that bring horrible things on earth like painful sores, the seas turned into blood, also the rivers turned into blood, the sun scorched the earth, darkness and pain filled the earth, the preparation for Armageddon war is climaxing, and there is a huge earthquake and hailstones that never been experienced before. Until on chapter 17 to 18 the one-world system comes to an end that depicted by the destruction of the Babylon.


At the chapter 19, Jesus Christ with His glorified followers step down to the world, and the latter part of that chapter the Battle of Armageddon has occurred. Then the 1000 years millennial reign of Christ has begun at chapter 20 and the 1000 years of damnation of Satan also contemporized to the Kingdom of Christ after the reign Satan is unleashed and deceived the world again for the final battle and its ending is the Great White Throne Judgment in this God judge Satan together with his followers and damn into the lake of fire forever. Finally the last two chapters revealed the New Heavens and New Earth, and the history of human agony has ended and the believers will enjoy their God forever and ever. Amen!

Again as others would do, sequence of events above is not the final one because as Jesus said no one knows the wisdom of those events but God the Father only. But one thing is sure the above events will occur just as the Bible describes them. What I do not know is the precise sequence of every events.
