The Bible and today violent happenings
Dear readers, this could be the continuation of our
previous post, comparison of prayers, even though it is not closely connected
to it, however it is still a religious post, where we are having some biblical
discussions. So, we are going to talk about, what is happening in the world
today. Because, while I have been editing this article, I have concluded that
one really needs to ask oneself whether today violent happenings, have a link
to what is written in the Bible, because what is happening is really of
biblical proportion and it’s worrying the entire world, so let us just mention
what is happening, and then, try to compare it with what is written in the
Bible.
We should say here that every time I read, or come
back to review and edit one of my articles, there is always something else that
could be added to it, because of those events that happen in the world these days.
While I am editing this article is March 2015, again there are terrible and
violent news all around us; the last of which is in Yemen where more than 120
people have been killed from these suicide bombers in a mosque, also more than
20 soldiers have been killed from another group of these terrorist fanatics.
There are reasons to believe that the terrorists
are religious fanatic, who have been brain washed, and so, they believe that
according to their religious beliefs, when they die they are going straight to
paradise to enjoy eternal life. Therefore, this is happening because of their
twisted religious beliefs, they believe that they are doing the right thing
according to the laws of Allah their God. Here I want to make this observation,
let the rest of the world hope that not all Muslims believe what these
terrorists believe, because if they do, then the world could be in real
trouble. So, the rest of the world must find a way how to stop these violent
happenings.
We should say also that, the attitude of these
Muslim religious people, it is so far apart from the attitude of us Christian,
whom believe that killing anyone is the most horrible sin that one could
commit, in fact even killing oneself willingly is a sin against God and Mother
Nature. We have added this new comment above, because this could be a direct
link to Armageddon as written in the Bible, which we are going to discuss in
this article, as the end of time friendly discussion.
Of course, there are a lot more killings going on
in the world these days; in Tunisia they have killed more than twenty tourists,
while they were visiting this museum, in Libya they have many small wars going
on all the time, the terrorists threaten many countries or places in many ways;
in the Middle East is just the same if not worse and many other things. It
seems as if some groups of the Muslim religious are extremists, and they have
declared war to each and every one of us; so, if we ask ourselves is this the
beginning of the end of the world as we know it? I suppose we have a good
reason to ask this question, as it resamples some events that are written at
the end of the Bible in Revelation; well what we have just said about the end
of the world, may indeed be like what is happening now, but we hope it is not
and it only seems similar.
Having said that, now, let us see what the end of
the Bible says, and talk about this end of time discussions.
The end of time
friendly discussions
As most of us know, the last book of the New
Testament is called, Revelation and it talks about how the present system will
end. So, let us review this chapter in the Bible and talk about the end of time
discussions. You see, since we were little children, we have been exposed to
these religious beliefs; most of our beliefs seem to work well and help us live
our lives peacefully. But then there are some of these religious beliefs that
would strike fear in our hearts and one of these is the end of time, as written
in the book of Revelation. As things are going in the world these days, even
this dreadful event could become possible because of what is happening, as we
have mentioned already these violent events at the beginning of this article.
Because of this chapter in the Bible of
Revelation, as soon as something violent
happens in the world that seems out of the ordinary, we will soon ask ourselves
whether it is just a normal violent happening, or something else that could
threaten our lives, and then we ask also ourselves whether this could be the
beginning to the end of the world, because that is the way that we have been
told since we were young, you see this violent event is written in Revelation
near the end if the Bible, which is supposed to be the book that God inspired,
and some people firmly believe that the Bible is really the word of God.
Whether the Bible has really been inspired by God
is difficult to say, but a lot of people believe it is, now, as we know in
religions people beliefs is what counts most, so, in a way we should accept
what people believe what is written in the Bible Revelation, therefore let us
see what is written in the Bible Revelation. The book of revelation; written by
John (this is not John who wrote the gospel, since for some reason the expert
say that Revelation was written much later). Anyhow this john is believed to
have had a vision, where the end of the present system is foretold, so people
are waiting for the world to end according to John’s vision. But, is this foretold
event of the Bible
Revelation really going to happen? Or does the book of
Revelation mean something else and we have missed the real meaning of the Bible
Revelations? This is what we are trying to discuss in this hub, in the hope
that we come up with some positive answers and help the public understand
better what it might mean?
Therefore, we will be discussing about The Bible
Revelation and therefore the end of times as written in the Bible. Or as the
Greek call it apocalypse, which is a name that easily puts fear into everyone
heart, for these reasons most people do not like to talk about the Bible
Revelation, because the violent events in there are a bit scary to say the
least. But then, it is very hard to make sense of the whole Book of Revelation
and why it has been written that way in the first place. In fact, it sounds too
scary and for that reason it might not be true, because the whole book of
Revelation might have been written to scare people into submission; today we
don’t see any other reason, why the book of Revelation has been written, the
way it has been written.
Anyhow, anyone reading this chapter of the book of
Revelation in the Bible should ask themselves, is there any reason why God
wants these terrible things to happen to us, just the way it has been written
in revelation? After all God is supposed to be the Father of all living being,
therefore we cannot believe that God is going to be so cruel and destroy us, in
this terrible way.
Because I believe that for me, this cannot be true,
because God is supposed to be a benevolent loving Father. I hope you agree with
my statement about God being good? So, why these Revelation were written in a
way to scare us so much, one may never know.
Anyhow, as we have said in this article, we are
going to talk about the Bible Revelation, so, if you happen to believe in the
Bible Revelation you should read this article, and then take part in those
religious discussions that might follow.
Anyhow, now let us go back to talk about what we
were writing in our last article. Dear readers as you all know from our
previous articles, we were meeting with some religious friends to discuss
religious matters as we have explained in the article Spiritual
circumstances, 9, therefore, we are meeting
again to talk about our religious views or reviews and in this case about the
book of Revelation, in the hope of finding a way that would help to understand
it better, or perhaps ask ourselves whether Revelation could be true or false.
Anyhow let us discuss this article at length with our friends in a friendly
discussion, in our next post, because this post is becoming too long for today
average internet readers.
So, see you soon, in our next post, our religious discussions.
