Click here to read the propechy.

This is an old propechy by a Dr. Samuel Doctorian back there in 1998. At that time, no one believed this was true and I was even skeptical as most people giving propechies nowadays are usually just making things up and nothing of them would really happened. But as I look back during the recent years, strangely things from this propechy are starting to happen. Let’s take a look at what is happening, shall we?

First Angel (Asia)
Earthquakes. The Earth will fall into the sea. Isn’t this what is happening in Indonesia right now? There are also stories of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in Phillipines according to a friend of mine. I don’t know if this directly coincides with the current developments in Indonesia or not, some of you might be aware that Indonesia is slowly turning into an Islamic country with the even-moslems-hate-them FPI and FBR rampaging all over the place acting like they’re the law of the nation - and even the new laws and rules made by the government seems to be more in favor of the moslems and opposing the Christian. Is the end time coming near with the trumpet call?

And I don’t know what will happen in Australia, as this nation is regarded with a specific mention in this part, saying that it will be divided and some parts will sink to the ocean. Might this be happening soon? If yes, maybe this is the reason why God sent a friend of mine back from Melbourne to Jakarta? Let us pray together for Asia.

Second Angel (Middle East)
Remember that this propechy was made in 1998. In these 8 years many things have happened and blood has been shed there. US invaded Iraq. The tension between Israel and Palestine escalated and lately we have the Israeli invasion to Libanon. Middle East crisis… this is coming true too. Though I do not know why the Israeli would need to do this.

Third Angel (Europe)
No news of flooding, no part of Germany has been destroyed and no hunger in Spain and Portugal. But although the Eiffel Tower is still there, there was a problem with riots in France a while back before the World Cup, if you remember. And there were also bombings happening in London. I don’t know if the others will happen, but if it does, it will be very sad.

Fourth Angel (Africa)
I haven’t been following news from Africa, so please fill me in.

Fifth Angel (America)
The large scale destruction haven’t happened and no flood as of yet. But with the skyscrapers tumbling, suddenly I remember the World Trade Centre 911 incident, maybe it is what is meant by the propechy?

Conclusion and Promise
“All glory to the Lord of heaven and earth. Now the time has come and He will glorify His Son. The earth shall be burned and destroyed. All things shall pass away. The new Heaven and New Earth shall come. God shall destroy the works of the devil forever. I shall show My power - how I will protect My children in the midst of all this destruction.”

Well that is His promise, so I think… we shall not fear. Let’s keep in prayer and faith though, as these things might be happening sooner than expected, if it turns out that this whole propechy is true. To be honest, I am still not convinced that this is 100% too, but nevertheless, we should place our lives in the hands of our loving God.

People crying… people missing… people dying…
They lost the ones dear to them… the ones they love… the ones they care for…
Three thousand lives… gone in a flash… in an instant moment when they were in deep slumber…
Tsunami, earthquakes, bombs and maybe later volcanoes… will it ever end?
WHY THE HELL DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO MY COUNTRY??!!!

This post is dedicated to the victims of the Yogyakarta Quake. In a 5.8 (some reports say 6.2) Richter Scale quake, more than 3000 people at the moment I am writing this post died, many more are injured and missing. Even some of my friends are missing, although some are safe and we have to be the thankful for that. I do not know why this have to happen, as if Indonesia is a country waiting to be slaughtered by nature. But no, it was not just Indonesia. The U.S were also heavily damaged by the hurricane Katrina. Maybe the right question to ask would be why the hell is this happening to the world? One friend once asked me if there is a safe place in Earth. The answer is no. Death awaits you in the corners, there is no telling when and where your time might be up.

These scenes reminds me of the Book of Job, how must he felt when this too happened to him long ago. I pray for the strength of the people, whose homes and families have fallen. I pray for my friends, hoping for their safety, as right now there would be no more joy than knowing that they are safe. I pray that the voices of the world, no matter how small it is, will not be left unheard. Naldo, I hope that you will be safe, you and your entire family. Mima, thank God you are safe. Josh, thank God you are in Jakarta now and is unharmed, but I pray for your family, friends and relatives, they will be safe, trust Him. More importantly God, I thank You that my family in Surabaya is safe, my friends in Jakarta are safe, and for those other lives you have taken care of, I thank You.

God, are you listening? These people are crying…

This Sunday, there will be a lot of people praying. Can you hear us, God?

As I write this post, a large pool of tears is swelling in my eyes. I better not continue further…
