Nature
as we know it does not respect people, places and things and
'acts' according to its own 'will'. The 'will' of a thing,
like wills left by the deceased, give instructions for their
execution, detailing what must be done with their possessions
and giving instructions for a solicitor or close family member
to ensure that their 'will' is carried out. Likewise nature
has a guardian, a Creator, whose will is executed by a living
reality.
To some the 'reality' is Jesus, a prophet of the
Creator who lived and died two thousand years ago. Two billion
people on the earth know the 'reality' as Allah, whilst 500,000
globally know the 'reality' as Jehovah. Throughout Asia many
know the reality as Buddha (the enlightened one). With such
disunity on the singularity and identity of a Godhead debates
as to whose God caused the destruction is now in full swing.
England's
Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams now
doubts the reality of God as a result of the earthquake
confirming that God had something to do with the earthquake
and the resulting Tsunami (great wave).
Before
the earthquake no doubt his belief was strong. Why would such
widespread death shake the belief of the leader of the Anglican
Church and what will now happen to the flock which he leads?
Is the Bible not replete with prophecy of what will take place
during this time of 'Judgement' as contained in the book of
Revelations and the other books we 'know' off in the Bible?
Controlled
Natural Disasters
Scientists
say they know where earthquakes will strike but they do not
know when they will strike or the severity of the effect of
an earthquake. The earthquake that struck off the western
coast of Indonesia in the Indian Ocean was known about an
hour before the devastating effects of the tsunami (huge wave)
struck land in Thailand, confirming that
science can be used to detect the potential deadly effects
of nature as it occurs.
In
the Pacific Ocean a 'tsunami early-warning system' has been
installed with sensors placed on the ocean floor to detect
approaching tsunami's thus providing the chance the populations
of those nations surrounding that Ocean to be warned in advance.
The
Indian Ocean did not have the benefit
of a 'tsunami early-warning system' in place, although one
was demanded
two years ago. Now, a detailed proposal is being given
due consideration with Japan
offering to help build it.
But,
even with a 'tsunami early-warning system' in place nature
"can still humble our pride and wreck our schemes in an instant."
In Japan
many of its buildings are built to withstand earthquakes,
yet during the deadly Kobe earthquake on January 17th 1995,
earthquake-proof buildings succumbed to a greater power.
As
the news of the death and destruction caused by the tsunami
is aired and being forearmed about the potential consequences
of an earthquake-tsunami is buried under the carpet, looking
at the news one could be lulled into the false 'reality' that
this earthquake just happened of its own accord and that 'nature'
doesn't know the reason why it acted, and why God allowed
it to happen.
'Will'
and 'action' are signs of intelligence. According to Bryan
Appleyard writing in the Sunday Times 2/1/05, he said
"we cannot go to war with geology, with nature. It just does
what it does, mindlessly, meaninglessly, blamelessly".
Does it?
In ancient times Sodom and Gomorrah was utterly destroyed because of the behaviour of its inhabitants.
Religious texts of all believers give testimony to what God
does to people and nations who exceed the limits. Could it
be that God by whatever name He is known is displeased with
what is happening in that area of the world?
Allah
(God) also warns and exhorts in the Holy Quran, the scriptures
of Muslims, that the righteous will also die, when His severe
chastisement is earned by those who transgress His laws
In the Bible it warns that in the end days there will be "earthquakes
in diverse places" and that this would just be the beginning of sorrows.
On the western coast of Indonesia Aceh, Sumatra
suffered the greatest loss of life during this disaster with
over 80,000 people deceased.
Thailand
the holiday destination for millions of tourists suffered
much less deaths, but the Island Phuket, which is part of
Thailand and the destination for many of Thailand's tourists,
particularly Europeans, suffered about 4500 deaths with estimates
that a further "5000
Scandinavian tourists [are] still missing".
Sodom and Gomorrah Delights
The
expectation of sun, sand, sensuous nightlife, potential wives
and prostitutes in abundance are some of the attractions that
draw tourists to this region of the world.
All
over the UK it is possible to see young and old English men
with young Asian women on their arms most having been married
abroad and brought back to the UK.

Times - 21 November 1999 |
But
another seedier and more pernicious side exists to Thai tourism
that rivals Sodom & Gomorrah for which the Thai tourist
authorities had this year planned to attract over 13.4 million
tourists.
According
to the Times newspaper 1/9/97, in the Philippines paedophiles
from Britain warranted the Philippine and British Governments
to agree "new measures to tackle child abuse,"
because Philippino children "some as young as eight showed.....the
trauma they had suffered at the hands of sex tourists from
Britain, Australia, Japan and other countries".
Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and other Asian and South East
Asian countries have developed a reputation as 'sex-tourism'
destinations.
Sex-tourism
attracts
600,000 Britons a year to Bangkok and has over 36,000
establishments where "lust and the jaded experience can
be satisfied [in] go-go bars, massage parlous" and in
hotels.
In
the centuries-old red light districts of Bangkok "young
women sit beside male tourists" in the hope of earning
some cash. The effects of a recent clampdown by the government
threatened to drive the sex-tourist industry to "rival
party cities in Malaysia and Singapore".
Thailand being known as sex-tourist destination has tarnished
its image such that the tourism authority of Thailand is trying
to "attract more women to visit the country.
"The
sex clubs, strip clubs and prostitution in Bangkok, Pattaya
and Phuket, are a magnet for sex-tourists and widespread coverage
of the trend has put many women off visiting the country".
Even
the Thai government has acquiesced with the stigma of the
country when a Thai spokesman said, "sex-tourism is such
a small, avoidable part of Thailand".
Transvestites
find Thailand an acceptable place to live as a visit to the
'Phuket Travel' web site reveals under the 'Simon Cabaret'
section, "Probably the biggest transvestite
cabaret show to be found locally....in Thailand. And "due
to the considerable tolerance of the culture ....a great number
of males who feel natural as females, find a career as cabaret
performers".
Fulfilling the appetite for sex-tourism is an increasing 'Slave
Trade' of women and children throughout Asia. According to
the BBC's "Asia's sex trade is slavery" article,
Unicef's
Kul Gautum, "told an International Symposium on Trafficking
of Children, held in Tokyo", that those involved in the
sex-trade of Asian women and children are using "even
more cruel and devious means than the original Slave Trade
[perpetrated against black people from Africa]".
Not even pop stars are immune from delving into the seedy
opportunities offered in some parts of Asia. Last year, according
to BBC News, Gary Glitter was "arrested over allegations
of assault against young boys" in Phuket, Thailand.
Tsunami
For Western Hemisphere
With the damage and loss of life that has been inflicted on
Asia, around the corner, not maybe, but when, a tsunami may
occur in the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean. The Special Edition
version of the film, 'The Abyss' depicts such a scenario.
 |
A
Tsunami |
According
to a study by the re-insurer
'Swiss Re' the possibility of a Tsunami in the Atlantic Ocean
is not that far fetched a reality.
Their
predictions are based on a southern volcano (Cumbre Vieja)
on the island of La Palma in the Canaries (Atlantic Ocean)
that erupted in 1949, when a crack developed on the western
side of the volcano causing it to slip dangerously into the
Atlantic Ocean. Fortunately it stopped.
Scientists believe that it will slip into the Atlantic if
a future eruption occurs giving rise to a mega-tsunami "crossing
the entire Atlantic in a matter of hours, engulfing the whole
US east coast, sweeping away everything in its path up to
20 kilometers inland."
"Apart
from the US, the UK, southern Europe, South America and Latin
America would also be affected".
Whilst so-called terrorism poses a threat, "Nature is
'Mankind's
gravest threat," say scientists studying the effect
of future "giant earthquakes and asteroid impacts".
This
perspective has not been lost on Hollywood film makers whose
films depict apotential asteroid or 'Near Earth Object' striking
the earth, similar to the 21 asteroids which smashed into
the planet Jupiter,
in July 1994.
When
the idea for the film 'Deep Impact' originated in the mind
of Stephen Spielberg he called Bruce Joel Rubin, the screenwriter
of the film and asked him in reference to the earth being
struck by an Asteroid, "what if an impact really did
happen?" The film Deep Impact was subsequently made.
The subject of a 'Near Earth Object' is such a serious issue
to governments around the world so much so that "The
European Space Agency (Esa) and the North American Space Agency
(Nasa) are both planning missions to test how the
course of asteroids and comets can be altered by an impact".
On January 12, 2005 Nasa will launch "the Deep Impact spacecraft",
its mission
being to target a comet called 'Temple 1' that was discovered
in 1867, and observe its impact. The impact is scheduled for
4th July 2005 (See
Press Release).
As for ESA's
mission, theirs is the Don Quijote concept based on a Study
presented on 9 July 2004 by the "'Near Earth Object'
Mission Advisory Panel [which] recommended that ESA place
a high priority on developing a mission to actually move an
asteroid".
Whilst
most of us think that films are just for conjecture, someone
somewhere is thinking seriously about the subject matter and
acting on it.
As dramatic as the film was with an asteroid falling into
the Atlantic - "The wave hit Europe and Africa too"
- the film was the image of film makers, the manifestation
of which has resulted in its practical application by the
government of America.
As
we are now informed that Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of
Canterbury has now questioned God's existence perhaps a reminder
of the prophecy to John (Yacoub) in the book of Revelations
8:8 in the Bible, may serve as a reminder of God's intention
for this world.
The
Fulfillment of Prophecy
Into
which ocean "a great mountain burning with fire"
will be cast, causing the sea to become as blood, the death
of a third-part of the creatures in it and the destruction
of a third-part of the ships in it, only Allah (God) knows!
For this not to happen in our life time will cast much doubt on
the truth espoused by God's prophets and now borne witness
to in the plethora of studies
by world renowned scientists, highly animated films like Armageddon
and Deep Impact and in the work of the American and European
Space Agency's whose study and financial costs involved in
such missions testify of future deep impacts on our planet.
But most of all, of all the world's scientists, there is none
greater than The Most Honourable Elijah Muhammad, whose
knowledge of the past, present and future has been revealed
to him from the greatest source of knowledge, Divine Revelation,
from Almighty God Allah.
During his epic 'Theology of Time' lecture series in
1974, he said, "The Bible teaches you that he dropped
a Star into the water from Heaven and made the water unfit
for the people to stay on the water ....I want you to know
that it is not white people that will drop this Star. They
are Black people..."
A mountain dropped from the heavens into an ocean will cause
an enormous tsunami far greater than a potential mega-tsunami.
The destruction will be unquantifiable and "no cities
that fall will be rebuilt" as Morgan Freeman foretells
in the film Deep Impact.
Be warned and take the advice
of a Divine Warner in our midst today, the Honourable Minister
Louis Farrakhan! |
