911

911 is an emergency number in some country. I guess, many people has written books about this subject, 911. No joke! On that day, some terrorists had destroyed the World Trade Center. As you know, New Jersey is very far away from us. A friend in New Jersey said, the smoke from the WTC was seen from the place where he stayed. The world was in panic even until today. The whole US heart was touched, and their nerves were pinched, so that is why they react in such a way, to fight the terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan until today. And here not long ago, the Bali bombing, it is closer to us, how can we forget these incidents?

You cannot blamed the US in attacking the terrorists, like the Japanese who bombed the Pearl Harbor in the second world war, the Japanese was bombed twice with the Atom Bombs. This time, the terrorists were not bombed with atomic bombs, they escaped the atomic bombs ...the war is still going on until today. Terrorists are facing problems....

And on that 911 morning, what happened? The world was sadden by the attacks, and the world was shocked by those terrorists. Were they wicked? Evil? To hijacked the civil planes, to plunge into those buildings. My sons, did you heard any of these so called pious leaders rebuking the act of terrorism after 911. No, they kept silent for many years after that. I saw their faces, hidden with "high spirit," when 911 is mentioned, they pretended to see and heard nothing about 911. They tried to react as normal as they can. I waited so long to hear from them, they just kept silent.

This is more sadden than the 911. Our world keep silent before the terrorism. They never rebuke anything nor any one related to 911, that incident is hidden from us, not even until today, publicly. They even indirectly praised the act of 911, this means they accepted terrorism in their midst, they welcomed terrorism in their minds. They see the ideology of terrorism is needed to settle the issue of Israel and Palestine. Terrorism is a truth? A life? A way? It is right? What! Terrorism is accepted as a theology? Are you one of the theologians?

"What can we expected from terrorism," if you have time, better take some time to write a 500 pages book about this title. Who are we, how can we say we want to settle the problems in Israel and Palestine? Let them settle themselves, we must not let the act of bombing the World Trade Center escaped from judgment and punishment, the problem in Israel and Palestine, is not an excuse for us to bomb the world trade center or any other places in the world.

Terrorism is terrorism. We must remember, it is an act to destroy the world. This is not a solution in the middle east. There is no excuse in bombing Pearl Harbor and likewise the World Trade Center. The Japanese surrendered, they learned something from that attack, and they turned a new leaf, to become a strong country now. What about the terrorists who bomb the World Trade Center, no matter who is right and who is wrong in the middle east or in the past, the terrorists needed a chance, to turn over from the past.

Looking back in 1948, the Israelites were given a piece of land, they were declared independent that year. But some people in the world is not happy to see that. So what happened, wars were fought until today. Who are we to put our hands into that land? We have clean hands? Clear mind?
I will not fight for them. We better ask our people to pray for the peace in Jerusalem. We do not want 911, or any war in the middle east. But the Bible tells us the final war cannot be avoided.

And someone told the whole world, "We are for peace. We do not want wars." But at the other end, they are making wars among the people, here and there, they never rebuke 911 until today, they never rebuke its terrorism and their activists, they did not say anything about extremist, they kept silent, is there a peace in the middle east until today, because many people like to put more oil and more petrol in the fire there, to make the fire bigger in that small piece of land. To make thing worsen. Who are to be blamed in making the middle east, a dangerous place to stay. Why they like to play the sentiment among the people, so that the people hate Israel, Palestine and US. Are the oil income not enough? Who say they do not have lands to stay? Do not become a busy body!

If one of your chair was stolen or your old car broken down at the road side, not a big deal, do not angry about that, do not shout about that, no need for you to sound the trumpets, or go round the world to beat all the bushes, or you burn down the whole forest only to get a stick, why you angry... why not buy another chair in the market...why not go and repair your car in the garage, or just keep silent and work things out, not a big deal when chair had been stolen, car broken down half way, why you nervous about that poor chair and that poor car? Time is near, when they will be gone, they will gone, they are not forever. You come into this world empty handed, and you go back to see God, empty handed, if you still do not believe in this, how are you going to settle the problem in this world?

Why we have to be nervous in our life when one of the chair was stolen, or one screw on the our car was loosen, today is the day, , go and buy another chair, go and tighten that screw.

Human life is more important than the poor chair and old car. Let the death bury the death, come, you better follow the Lord, the Son of God, why you worry about tomorrow, why you worry about the middle east, why care for your chair or seat? There is a better seat for you in heaven, the Lord Jesus said, He is the door, whosoever come into Him, will find peace and grace in God. Amen.

This is to illustrate, the theologians who worry about the sacred pages handed down to us, the Bible, why they worry, and worry, and worried, until they worried, the Bible is missing, the Bible never missing from the church, the missing words are all kept intact, or photo framed, or copied in heaven, do not worry for those missing words. One day you can read them when you are in heaven.

When we are living on this earth, the general instinct, or the Spiritual insight, see all spiritual things, the church faithfully copied the Bible for us for the past 2000 years....

Only thing we have to worry is that we may not find any empty chair prepared for us in heaven on that great day...take care...
