Much has been the speculation about the current time and the end of the world. People around the world are getting interested in knowing what is in store for us in the future and our forthcoming generations. People are getting interested in prophecy.
As for that people have always been interested in future. Palmistry, Tarot cards, astrology, pagan witchcraft has deep connotations of the natural human interest to know future. Future knowing by supernatural means (as they believe) is as old as human civilisation itself. Much of it has been deceitful, but a substantial portion of it, I believe, definitely has a supernatural element to it, and it is one of the unsolved mysteries of mankind.
But prophecy is different. It has a wide range in both its implications and effects. Prophecy itself may be for one person, for a group of people, for a particular race, for a nation and for the world. Prophecy may be good or bad, specific or vague and even transitory in nature. Prophecy also is as old as civilisation itself. Prophecy makers are called prophets and they often attribute prophecy to divine revelation and insist that they themselves are the medium by which prophecy is revealed by the divine to the earthly beings. I believe that there have been prophets in all the ancient civilisations and many of them have made true prophecies, so we can certainly say that prophecy has to be taken seriously.
As for the biblical prophecy, prophecy forms a major bulk of the Scripture. We find prophecy right away in Genesis 3:15. This is a prophetical curse by God to the serpent- “and I will cause enmity between you and her, and between your generation and her generation, He will crush your head and you will bit His heel.” This is also called the first messianic prophecy. It is quite obvious to know that God is talking about Jesus the Christ here, who crushed the head of Satan the serpent by bringing salvation to all mankind and Satan did bite his heel by delivering him to a cruel death on the cross. Thank God he couldn’t keep him dead for much long.
So, starting right from God himself prophecy originated and filled the mouths of the Hebrew prophets. What they spoke was prophecy, destined to come true. But many a times, prophecy is so carefully concealed in the symbols and allegory that it’s meaning is unclear. Why?-is the obvious question. I mean why will God try to conceal the prophecy? Know one knows for sure, but the answer that comes to my unworthy mind is that prophecy is meant to be revealed to very special people and only those who are really interested and keenly bent on knowing what God has spoken should reach to the pearls of wisdom that prophecy stores.
So has there been prophecy for our times? Yes, the times we live in are one of the most dramatic and active times of all time. A lot of biblical prophecy is being fulfilled, and many will be fulfilled in front our very eyes. Let us begin with just short ones, and we will together go into the depth of this ocean.
The appearance of Vehicles-
“They are in confusion in the ways; the chariots jostle one against another in the streets: their looks are like torches, like lightning running to and fro”
Nahum 2:3
Now, an ancient prophet of old, when sees a vision of cars running around, how else is he to interprete it?
The appearance of missiles-
There shall the fire devour thee: thou shall perish by the sword,
it shall devour thee like the bruchus: assemble together like the
Bruchus, make thyself many like the locust.
Nahum 3:15.
What can be somethins sword-like, which kills people like locusts are killed, and kills by fire? A missile? Bingo!
The world history-
God foretold a lot to the prophet Daniel. Infact, God told him the concise world history. If one will read chapter 2 of the book of Daniel, one will know that the Babylonian king had a dream and Daniel offers to tell both the dream and the interpretation.
Please turn to Daniel 2:31 and also Daniel 7.
Image of the Empires (Daniel 2) Animal symbols of the empires (Daniel 7)
Head of Gold=Babylon (603-538 BC) Deflated Lion=humbled Nebuchadnezzar
Arms and chests of Silver=Medo-Persia Lop-sided bear=Persia is stronger than
(538-334 BC) Media, ribs? Egypt, Babylon and Lydia
Defeated
Waist of Bronze=Greece (334-331 BC) Leopard with 4 wings=Alexander whose
Kingdom after death divided to 4 generals
Legs of Iron=Rome 31 BC to 20th century AD. The beast with the Iron teeth.
Two legs, hence got divided into the eastern and western.
Later got divided into 10 (just like the toes)
This kingdom is continuing in our present time. Can’t we see that the formation of European Union with its 10 ehtnic groups is a fulfillment?
Uncreated stone descending from Heaven Son of Man (Jesus) descends from
The clouds
It is remarkable that God revealed the future is such a bright imagery to a pagan king whose dream was interpreted by Daniel.

ACCEPTANCE
On the way of life
The beginning is with luggage of expectations
The milestones of realities are not visible
On the road of dreams
As the sun of time moves on
The road gets blazed by
The Heat of afflictions, but strange, the radiance
Of imagination on the dull road
Is not visible in this bright light
Some just retire
By throwing out expectations
And complete the journey empty handed
No reward of success for empty hands
What you actually got to do
Is carry just a little more
Until the milestone reads,
Success = 0 km
But, just in case you end up
On the dead end of failure
Just watch around the corner
You will find the day of acceptance
And I guarantee you
There is nothing better
Than accepting what you get
Because when you accept
Your acceptations are much lighter
And the secret is,
The door of acceptance is a detour to success.

A evil conspiracy to deny God
What atrocious and absurd theories abound on the internet! But one must wonder how all these satanic misconceptions acquire a firm stronghold in the minds of learned people. Recently, when I was on the Internet, I was surfing over a group on Orkut called ‘Celtic culture’ .A scholar there suggested that Celts were in direct contact with extra-terrestrials, whom they mistook for gods. So far, fair enough but he went on saying the Jewish people were liberated from Egypt by the aliens! According to him, ELOHIM means “people from above” and ELOHIM gave them the knowledge and also to the Celts how to live on earth peacefully and with prosperity. The Stonehenge, he said, was a joint production of aliens and Celts to commemorate the peace treaty between aliens and celts.
It is meaningless to illustrate how foolish these conclusions are, ELOHIM is a general term for God, not aliens. More so, Jewish people were monotheistic right from the beginning, so there is no chance of them venerating aliens as gods without a straying from their fundamental religion. It is true that they often went away from God, by worshipping pagan false gods like Baal and Rimmon, and often immersed themselves in the cult worship of Asherah, but this all was a deviation from their main religion which was the worship of a singular God. Hence, to comment that Israelis were liberated from Egypt by Aliens is an insult to God.
Meanwhile, the scholar had not clarified why only the Celtic people had the opportunity of meeting them and thus mistaking them for gods. He will soon begin to say that all the gods worshipped by the ancient and modern people are nothing but images of aliens. The truth is that Celts were a race surrounded by nature and hence under the evil influences of the Devil, conceived various natural forces as gods and identified their character with their great rulers to give them a personality. They when conducted human sacrifices, don’t appear to appease some ‘peaceful’ aliens, but cruel spirits of nature.
Such efforts to satisfy one’s whims and fancies by twisting and misinterpreting the beliefs of ancient people should be condemned. It is true that in this modern world, we have the right of freedom of speech, but by the same right of freedom of speech, I condemn such theories as thoroughly indecent and contrary to the Christian belief, and I speak not only as a Christian, but also as a rational man, who will see no reason as to why the aliens had special liking to ancient people, and why should they scorn meeting modern people. Also, I would rather believe the Arthurian legend that Merlin the magician brought the Stonehenge from Ireland than believe this theory, for both are equally fantastic, if the alien theory is not more so.

Everything anew
There was a time when I knew
That I am going to start new
Everything is right in its time
Nothing is sin, nothing is crime
Thus was my thought, my philosophy of life
Did I knew I’d rather kill with knife
But when Jesus came
My sins put me to shame
I now know a greater birth
I am now of better worth
In the divine’s eyes I saw love
When I cried to the heaven’s above
Now I am free and I do know
That one day immortality he will bestow
To me and to others in his domain
And their will no longer be any pain
Now, the time is when I have known
There sis nothing greater love than he has shown
Once there was a time when I knew
But I have already started anew

Ragnarok
RAGNAROK
Woe to Asgard and Valhall!
Here stands vigilant Heimdall
He blows the horn at Bifrost
Its time for gods to pay the cost!
The signs did came up in the past
But the gods thought they’ll never last
Sun and Moon have been devoured
The light elves have been overpowered
The Filmbulfiter winter did arrived
In Midgard no one survived
Three long winters, without day or spring
No sign of birds which sweetly sing
Now is the beginning of utter ruin
Odin has read the seeress’s rune
He once drank from Mimir’s well
Smell of doom he knows well
This is the End of all things
Odin now to his spear clings
But he is warrior and he will fight
With the slain warriors of Midgard beside
Terror’s now at Rainbow Bridge
Bifrost trembles, thyself be judge
See the grand army across
The giants of fire and of frost
They come to avenge of Ymir’s murder
The loss of Gerd is to consider
This giant maiden was thrilled away
Because of love, by the god Frey
Iotunheim trembles with war time cries
Surt mighty leads them across skies
The fire giant has a fiery sword
And he is the giants’ mighty lord
The earth vigourously shakes
Fire god Loki’s chain breaks
He is now free and in great wrath
He called on to his offsprings he begot
The sea churns and rushes aloud
As the giant serpent Iormungund proud
Rushes from the deep of sea
And joins his father trickster Loki
Sheer terror is Asgard itself
Chains of Fenris wolf break themselves
He is free and howls aloud
And rushes to his father with a shout
Grim-faced Hel rises from her throne
The call for battle to her is known
Gathering the cowardly and non-warrior dead
To her father Loki she moves ahead
Loki now laughs a fiery laughter
Fenris wolf Iormungund and Hel his daughter
All stand before him ready for war
They rush! They have to go afar
Odin and the gods wait for battle
Even the slain warriors are in no prattle
Each armed (oh Frey!) and ready
The gods they are, shining and steady
Loki and his offsprings come
To join the giants army awesome
Them the Surt from Muspellheim welcomes
For they near Asgard and here it comes
Army of giants are overpowering to behold
But the fate of gods, grimmer as told
As the Loki and his offsprings come along
Are a sight nobody can mock
Thus began the very last fight
And the test of armies might
For all are brave, valiant and strong
But which can stand for still little long
Loki rushes up to Heimdall
And strikes; but he will not fall
Both fight the uncompleted duel
Freyia’s necklace’s memory to both is real
Fenris rushes to his trickster Odin
One-eyed Odin shoves spear in his skin
His skin is hard, as hard as stone
But this the Allfather should have known?
Burning in vengeance Iormungund rushes
Whereas the Thor, Miolnir clutches
The thunder god now strikes him a blow
And Iormungund gushes out poisonous air flow
Alas Frey! You stand bare-handed
Thy curse the day when your sword you handed
To thy servant when he once had taken
An adventure to make Gerd your maiden
All thy found is a reindeer’s horn
From that you battle valiantly along
Oh! We do remember the day
When many fell to reindeer horn of Frey
But here comes Surt with his fiery sword
And a horn’s blow to him is of no accord
Frey’s reindeer horn charred and fell
And Surt’s fiery sword killed Frey as well
Loki struck and Heimdall too
And there lay perished the two
They killed each other; two gods are dead
But that’s no end to Asgard’s dread
Thor strikes with Miolnir in wrath
And blood gushes out from serpent’s mouth
Iormungund is dead and Thor is dying
For the poisonous breath of serpent is flying
Fenris and Odin fight for long
And the Odin’s spear pierces Fenris with a sound
But the Fenris’s fangs tore Odin apart
And the Allfather lies dead in Asgard
Vidar, his son, the silent god
Sees the sight and holds his sword
And in revenge for his father Odin
Killed the Fenris, and celebrated his win
Oh! Look down at Muspellheim
And the glow of fire, it might seem
And suddenly a great fire rushed forth
While warriors still fought for their lives’ worth
The fire enveloped everything and all
Everyplace ever existed and Valhall
Even the Niflheim and other realms
Were covered by fiery flames
Nothing survived and that was end
No victory for any god or fiend
Time had walked, it has no wings
As Ragnarok was the end of all things.

a poem ; Battle of my mind
Battle of My Mind
a Battle rages in my mind
a long lasting battle
a battle that I cannot bind
about which i prattle
the results are never evident
only the battle goes on
the warriors fight hell
bentno care for dusk or dawn
the two sides equally furous
bothe armed and fiearce
both fight to be victorious
but never each other they piearce
what battle i sayis it not a war?
no, shall it, said be, may
though it stretches a a far
just when i think it's done
the battle rages over again
when i percieve one side has won
other proves my thought vain
the result to me is as unknown
as unknown as battle's past
i wish that Lord has me shown
until when this will last
