The End Of The World .... Part 2


Where did we leave off? Oh yeah. Allow me to stray a bit, but its imperative I put this down. I was having a chat with my friend Alice the other day about this end of the world thing and while on the story we started chatting about God and how he knows you before you are born and knows your life. So she asked "Did God know Eve would eat of the apple (yes she said apple) and give some to Adam?" I answered her by saying "Yes God knows us before we are born and knows what our lives are like but he hasn't planned them to say You will be this and You will be that. That's why he gave us free will. The power to make choices and it is those choices that determine the course of our lives."

Now back to our topic. We will revisit the above discussion as we go along. So the end of the world has been predicted and prophesied and maybe even planned but I refuse to panic and change the way I live just because of that. Take TB Joshua for instance, people have started following this man and quite frankly its scary because other people have actually become followers to the point where he looks like a savior or messiah of sorts. Do not crucify me for airing out my thoughts but I have heard of people who are now avid followers of this 'gifted' man. Yes some of the things he has said have come to pass but if I also made educated or lucky guesses on who will win a tournament won't I also become as popular as some famous octopus?

Sorry, back to the topic. If someone (a prophet) walked up to you and told you that you will die tomorrow, you will naturally be very cautious from that very moment. You will probably avoid cars for fear of dying in an accident or avoid going to a construction site for fear of bricks falling on your head. What I am trying to say is, people changed before the year 2000 because they were told the world is ending. Most people became careless with their lives because the world is ending anyway while others tried to find fixes for their fears and more importantly others became more prayerful to try secure that much coveted seat in heaven.

But the world didn't end. Maybe I was the only one that noticed but some of the people who had changed their ways were now confused. "What do I do now?" Guy tosses the bible, "Ah screw it! I am alive now let me catch up on what I missed out on." I am not judging anyone I am merely sharing certain things I noticed. Do not get me wrong. I have not said everyone that were prayerful were pretending. I said some.

Sadly I have seen a repeat of the same thing this year. We have people panicking but not saying much about the end of the world but you can see it in the actions or should I say reaction to this fear.

In my view, I feel the world will never end. God will not clear us all, I doubt that. Then in the eyes of science and laws of science, equations have to balance themselves out and man will find a way to survive, adapt or evolve.

I also think the world is not necessarily the big round globe that orbits the sun. I think it is the environment around you, the people around you, everything around your person. I don't think all the people that died before are in some large waiting room awaiting judgment day, waiting for all of us to drop dead and the earth to stop rotating and the universe grinding to a halt. I think when you die your world ends. I think you get judged there and then, the choice is made whether you ascend to heaven or get tossed to hell.

In the end, we all have Free will. God gave us life and he gave us the power to choose. It is the choices we make that determine our lives, wealth, health and death. That being said, i am not judging anyone or telling anyone what to do or think but these are just my thoughts. Based on this... I will enjoy the remainder of my life, who wants to join me?

    just like you, as is vivid from your writing, i am not as well vested with bible verses, but am certain somewhere in the bible Jesus promises to return for his people except no one knows when this will be. so definitely life as we know it on earth will come to an end.

    i do agree with you though, it all comes down to the choices one makes, obvious depending on what one believes in or knows

    Thanks Clement. Yes the bible does mention that Jesus will return, but like every bible passage there is an interpretation to everything and i guess as i said its just my twisted way of thinking. Thank you for the insight.

F.T.W

So i had a bad dream... it was simple. I was in a car I have never driven before, a Land Rover 110, yes the old one from that ad many many many many years ago where a guy is stuck in a dam and he uses a winch to put the vehicle out? Yeah.... that sexy add. (Let me youtube it even). Anyway, there i was driving from Makeni and i run over a guy on an Eagle bicycle and the guy got all mangled (what do you expect, I hit him with one of the toughest vehicles ever made) then as I swerved off the road I hit a white Toyota Altezza or as I prefer to call it, The Zambian Ferrari. So anyway I had a bad dream in which I killed about three people. I have had this heavy feeling today and it has really dragged me down. Not looking forward to anything and not even eating (yes and I am always hungry). I have been feeling so angry most of the day and the world around me is not making things any easier by throwing all sorts of pressure at me. I am not saying I crack easily under pressure but we all ha...

My daughter and I

Image
14th october 2013 On this night my daughter and I ate beef sausages with bread and shared one small box of ceres juice, mango flavour. I will not forget this day because this is the day I have gotten tired of being kind, being understanding and being soft. I feel bad because in all my life today I feel the most worthless. Worthless because in the morning my daughter carried plain bread to school. Worthless because due to not having gas I picked up my daughter after 21 hours from her aunt's house. Worthless because with the money I had borrowed we bought a loaf of bread and 2 beef sausages and the ceres juice so that we could eat. Why are we eating such a meager and mediocre meal you may ask?... Its because there is completely no food in the house. Nothing. So. I sit here and ask myself why this is so. From a house that had it all, lots of food, juice and whatever you would want to snack on. Why is this bad run of luck coming my way?...why am I failing in my basic duties as a man,...

E Pluribus Unum

Almost 7 billion people on earth... Think about it. 7 billion. And each of those is as unique as the fingerprints on their palms. 7 billion differences. 7 billion psychos, because I believe we are all potentially crazy, and 7 billion geniuses because I believe we are all potentially brilliant. So, E pluribus Unum, Out of Many, one.... How do we as human beings differentiate one person from the next, form long standing bonds and form antagonistic relationships to the point where people can't be without someone or totally hate each other? E pluribus Unum. There is no equal distribution of love or attention even between a mother and her children, there will always be a favorite, E pluribus Unum. Even the level of hate or loathing between you and your foes is different, some are tolerable some are not. E pluribus unum. So where am I going with this? Wait... I just remembered something. I have no enemies. True. I might dislike some people but I have a big heart and I don'...
