DOCUMENTING THE WAR - FOREWORD

 

T

he word of the Lord that came to me, Kosi, servant of the Living God, anointed watchman and intercessor over the Lord’s people on the Earth, the world of man, in the 7th month of the year 2024, (according to the Gregorian calendar, which is named after Pope Gregory XIII, who introduced it in 1582). The spirit of the Lord led me while I was rounding off my PhD research work in Chennai, India, to pen down the events (spiritual and physical) that were happening in the wicked ages that we lived in.

Humanity is in a chaotic state. Men go about daily in search of more money, and more of it. The capitalist spirit of the last days which was spoken of by the great Lord Jesus the Christ, and the apostles of old, has many (believers and non-believers) bewitched as they chase after mortal posessions, day in, day out. Every passing day it becomes more and more difficult to make ends meet. The system of the world keeps men focused on paying bills that men do not mind how or where they get riches, as long as they get it, Only then society recognizes them as having “arrived” and purports honor to them. The love of mankind for life have truly waxed cold. Their hearts are darkened. Men are lovers of themselves more than lovers of God. Love and respect is no longer fashionable. Younger men speak to the elderly without fear of age or honor. Propaganda theories fly around every nook and  corner of the earth’s provinces. Confusion is the order of the day. No one knows for sure where the road leads. Prophets and spiritualists claim to know but no one is certain they do. They only get richer “helping” others find “the way”. The masses are cowed into every whim and caprices of faith they sell.

 

Political leaders are confused as well.

Failing economies, Finger-pointing, back-biting, accusations and counter-accusations is the order of the day. All countries and peoples under the physical heaven are in dire economic straits. The elite few rule over the common masses who know little and stand no chance. Wages are thinning away everyday. Protests erupt everywhere, for better work conditions and work pay. Massive emigration happen daily from ‘less prosperous’ to ‘more prosperous’ human settlements. Widespread ‘wokeness’ is happening. Everyone suddenly has something to teach. People are more confused than they have ever been since the beginning of human civilizations. Men are turning themselves into women. Women into men. Unnatural desires are enthroned as normal and forced upon others, willing or unwilling.  Industrialization and mechanization of warfare is at the zenith. Nations try to match up threats from neighbouring nations. Human population is spreading. Poverty and religion are tools for controlling the masses. Everywhere there is human incursion on nature. Man seems to be looking for an escape. Many take their own lives on daily basis.

Families are torn apart due to inevitable departures in search of “greener pastures”. Men have been told that; where their gold (money) stops, there their lives end. Capitalism is at its highest sway. Formerly communist and socialist nations are forced to adopt capitalism or are cut off from mainstream global economics. Survival of the richest is the order of the day. People take others’ posessions by hook or crook to make up theirs. But it never satisfies them. Sacrificing love for material gain. The perilious times, the masters of old spoke of are truly with us. Religious seekers condemn each other in public media, each claiming superiority of their own revelations of ‘God’. Being politically and religiously correct is more important than the truth. Pervesion walks the streets in broad day light. Parents rise up against their children, Children against parents, brother against brother, sister against sister. Increase in Knowledge of science and art gives men false hopes in their abilities. Agnostic and atheist waves sweep across advanced nations. Those who wield the wizardry control those who do not. Technology sepearates mankind more than it unites. Selfishness is expected more than love. The purpose of this volume is to document these events of the last days, as prophesied by the prophets of old. We are in a fierce and raging battle between the Lord’s plan and the Earthly system, but many do not realize it. This volume attempts to take and store a snapshot of the advances by both sides in the war on different fronts. As the holy scriptures wrote, the battle is so fierce, that if care is not taken, even the very elect shall be deceived. There is need for massive awakening of the people before it is too late.

Every war becomes a subject of history when it is over. The records of the war are invaluable resources for the next generation or civilization. As the many books of the holy scriptures we read today contain stories of events of old, which serve for teaching and admonishing this current generation of human kind, the intent of this book is to provide such records for the benefit of the current and the future dispensation of the descendants of mankind on earth. It may be for this singular reason that the author was incarnated in this age. For all we are and do are as the lord predestines. Therefore I set my heart to put down the revelations that the Lord gave to his servant in the last days. According to all that I saw and all that the Lord permitted me to write, for the admornishment of the saints, now and to come.

Let all who find this book, read it with the understanding of the holyspirit and know for sure that the Lord is great and that man is nothing but pencil in the Lords’s hands. All things in the heaven, in the Earth and under the Earth exist only to serve “the Lord’s will”. May the eyes of your understanduing be enlightened of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of your calling, and see and enter the exceeding  riches of the glory of your inheritance in the Lord. May your life carry the exceeding greatness of the Lord’s power which raised  Christ from the dead and set Christ at the Lord’s right hand in the heavenly, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. Therefore, brethren, let us strive daily to learn what is that good and perfect will of the creator and work in harmony with that supreme purpose, for as many as shall be found fruitful shall receive the crown of elevation to higher glory in Christ Jesus. But, the rest shall be cut off and burnt in the fire, for their works have not brought honor to the creator. May the Lord give the reader understanding and may the accounts herein build up and not tear down. May all who genuinely seek to serve, read with awe, and may our Lord’s army continue to wax stronger until all men come to the fullness of the realization of the glory of our father who is perfection. Amen! Read More


On Love, Marriage and Polygamy

 

As with every other aspect of life, issues concerning love and marriage are largely based on personal convictions. Whether you believe there is one person alive who is your forever person or you believe in spreading the love, the fact remains that as human beings we are designed as creatures of association. We associate with other members of the society, church, school or family in order to get care, mentorship, approval for our actions etc.

Marriage can be viewed as one of such associations specifically designed to kickstart the family which is the smallest single unit of society. Marriage in many regions symbolizes the agreement between two persons who have resolved to merge their interests in such a way that makes it easier for each of them to achieve their life goals. This agreement extends to other members of the both families and is usually consummated to produce offspring in an organized manner.

In some traditions, it is common to find men with multiple wives or life partners. This is sometimes as a result of prevailing circumstances such as farming or warfare that may necessitate the need to have many children. Some religions have strict instructions regarding marriage. Most of them condemn polygamy and encourage monogamy. Some believe that a marriage continues even after physical death on earth. One could write long epistles about marriage, but I believe there are other volumes that have treated the subject very extensively. 

The purpose of this diary entry is to address my opinion on having multiple life partners. I think it is impossible and a wearying of self and spirit for anyone to try to complicate his life any further than life already is by choosing to build more than one family in a lifetime. I will explain why I think so in the summary below.

1. Do one thing, do it well, expect no mercy
2. Economic weariness
3. Emotional stress
4. Psychological mix-ups
5. Lack of total commitment on neither sides
6.  Human health limitations
7. Sexual stress
8. Chances of unwanted infiltration
9. No assurance of health status of multiple partners
10. Poor attention to all the kids from numerous wives
11. Possibility of religious dichotomy
12. Multiple distractions 
13. May breed jealousy and envy amongst co-wives and siblings
14. Favoritism will naturally creep in.

I will expand each of the points mentioned here in a future post, but suffice it to say here that none of the points mentioned above are necessarily religious based  or influenced. These to me, are simply logical reasons why I would not be opting for a polygamous marital arrangement. There are several religious backed points that could be added here, but at the end of the day, I think polygamy may also have its benefits and should a situation arise where one finds himself arm-twisted, it is not a completely terrible thing to enjoy the beauties of family living with multiple women in one life-time.

Let me know what you think about this topic and be sure to keep it civil and logical.



DO ONE THING, DO IT WELL - EXPECT NO MERCY

 

Life is simple, but we are overwhelmed by it on a daily basis. We seem to be on an endless clock that keeps moving whether we do anything or not. Life happens to us anyways, if we don't happen to it quickly enough. 

We don't know when we'll be done here, none of us knows his exit date, time or location, It can happen any moment, from the time you wake up in the morning to the time you lay down again in the night. There is no guarantee that everyone who woke up today will go to sleep again this night. Yet we make plans for 10, 15, 20 years time as if any part of it was guaranteed. We brag and carry our shoulders up as if we are anything. We look down on others and judge everyone else but ourselves. We refuse to help others on their own life journeys as if we were already done with ours.😃😃

Each of us have our unique challenges, its a full time job to figure them out and solve them on a daily basis. The lessons we learn while at it enriches us, the mistakes we fall into purnish us harshly and the clock continues tick - tack.. tick - tack 

For anyone who even bothers to think, it is crucial to figure out what you are doing here on Earth and what you want to leave for the next generation when you are gone. Of course, we already know that we don't take anything material from here when we pass on. We just go as light as we come, no baggages at least not physical. We have also come to understand that material belongings are perishable and only have relevance or value on this material plane. If this is the truthful case, then whatever we acquire here and now, cannot be ours forever. 

So what do we do? 

Our existential realities and conditions differ largely along lines of culture, religion, location and temperament. We are consistently under intense mental, physical, sociological, economic, cultural and religious pressure. Some people are lucky to figure out their way through these pressures and contain them, others are torn apart trying to even understand what is going on. 

We build institutions to help us calm the pressures, we join alliances (cultural and religious) to assure us that we are not alone while at it and ultimately we struggle to pay bills to continue living.  Money has become the biggest agent of control, It appears the more of it you have, the more able you are to contain your own pressures. Everyone strives to acquire more of it, in order to stand a chance to master our existence and liberate ourselves from suffering even if the acquisition causes pain to us and others.

What's more, even time has been equated to money. You spend time to get money and you spend money to buy time. It appears we are all rich in time, but not so equal on money.

Whatever is going on, we are in an intelligent system. The universe is a training school. There are lessons everywhere we look. Most of them come in disguise. We are not only living, but we are also learning. The natural laws of existence ensure that there is always a balance in the system. 

We don't know how for sure, but we can live each day as if it was our last. We can try to do one thing, do it well and expect no mercy!
