Principles – “A Message to….” – Saturday, 16th of September, 2017

I received this message,

A message to the inhabitants of the earth:

   Slow down your steps and reactions. Forbear a little to look and figure out where your steps will lead you to. Stand still, even for little seconds before your true mirror; so that each of you beholds his true self, thoughts and behaviors. May each of you think of his life whether it is going on according to the design it was created for or it lost its way. Why do so many are hastening toward destruction and shedding blood?!Is this why God created you?!! Why do they spread injustice with many false pretensions that it is the very justice?!! Is there anything hidden from God?! Why are they hastening toward shedding innocent blood, not only by murder but by destructing their hopes and dreams?!! Can’t you realize that every drop of blood will cry before God Almighty?!!

   Does any one of you, who rejected God’s existence and declared there is no God, realize that he is steeping toward a deep pit attracting many other innocent people to it and the consequences would be destructive?!If you say, “If there was God, then why He is silent?!”, can’t you understand that what you considered silence is nothing but His patience on you, before His anger bursts on all the evil people on the earth whose hands are contaminated with cheating, hypocrisy and blood!!! God is not silent, human!! But you are unable to realize His deeds and hear His warnings that pass by you! Let me dwell on this point a little, have not you experienced many situations in which you witnessed pain, sadness and tears of others. What have you done to them? Have not you passed by as though you saw nothing!! Have not you met people wronged by you or others, yet you were able to do them justice, but rather preferred to remain silent with no feelings whatsoever that prove you ware still human?!! Keep in mind that all the chances you have to do good are stops that you will stop by one day and will be judged accordingly! You will surely suffer because of the pain you caused to others and you never find someone to do you justice as it will be the right course of justice that should go on someday. Wake up, man before you ruin yourself and fall into bottomless pit.

   As for you the wronged and tortured people: learn to have patience to pass this world’s passage of pain without losing your innocence or faith; God the Just is not dead as some claimed. Life is going on and will end one day on earth, but will be a new and eternal one that stays forever and you will be eternal as well. The day will come when you raise your heads above and enjoy peace, comfort and joy.

   “My message to this world: There is no way for your deliverance except for that of love, peace; otherwise you will perish.”
