Are We Living The End of The Day?
Many earthquakes are now shaking the earth, especially in this sick country. The latest great one was yesterday. And it happened where the in the most populous island. Up to now, there have been 180 people found dead. The earthquake caused the tsunami.
Prior to this, there have been many earthquake, but with no report of damage or casualties. Are we still thinking that these are only natural disaster? If we are, then I guess it’s a fatal thinking.
In my view, disaster happen for 3 reasons: punishment, warning and test. Disaster happens as a punishment when a place is notorious as where bad things reside. It could be gambling location, prostitute, or free sex is practised as normal life, or other bad things you can normally of.
Secondly, disaster happens as a warning. I heard that Titanic was claimed could not be drowned. They said even God himself could not make it sink. Then, there was this bridge construction in Japan. They said it can hold the most destructive earthquake. Yet, it collapsed. So, warning comes in the form of disaster. Warning to human beings who have forgotten The Supreme One. Warning to human beings to those who forgot to bring their heads down.
Last one, disaster happens as a test. People say that they have faith to God. But, God wouldn’t let them saying things without being tested. Now that they suffer from the disaster, can they still hold on to the faith? I don’t know.
I can only pray that if this is the wrath of God, I beg thy Lord to spare me.
If this is the end of the day we’re living in, then we shall brace ourselves. Evidences are scattered all over the world: the disasters, the wars, the hate, the anger. It all leads to one: destruction.
