Armageddon Dawn
As the world hurtles toward humanity’s final climax, one has to wonder if anything will survive. Will only twenty humans remain on a desolate planet, or will all living things be wiped out in the blink of an eye? Although there is a real chance that a large enough meteorite could strike the planet and wipe out all life, there is a much higher chance that humanity will wreak final destruction on earth.
Since the dawn of man, countless cultures around the world have heard prophecies and stories predicting a time when an epic final battle between the forces of darkness and light would destroy the planet. Where the victorious forces would be given the ultimate power to rule all. Like that opening to The Lord of the Rings, “One Ring to Rule Them All.” To understand the consequences of a catastrophic event where the forces of good battle the forces of evil, we must realize that humanity is wounded and cursed, where the internal struggles of light and dark are constant struggles within every human being. .
Today, in the third millennium, humanity has been blessed with technological, scientific, and medical marvels that have transformed human existence to levels never before achieved in human history. And yet humanity has been cursed by the dark side of humanity. For all the good that man has wrought in the world, much of which is overshadowed by the insatiable thirst for power, control and wealth of those who fail to bring the light of goodness and virtue to cast off the dark side of their awareness.
When we are born, we inherit many of the traits from our parents. It is through education and the environment that we learn to live. Whether we choose to succumb to selfish desires where greed and hate overwhelm our conscience or rise above the many ills of society and choose what is good and virtuous, it is all based on our innate ability to choose what is right. or wrong. Today, it is as if greed and hatred have taken over a large part of the world’s societies. Greed, violence and carnage with brutality and savage reprisals against man and nature have spread to all corners of the world. It is no wonder then that man has reached the point of the dawn of Armageddon.
When many of us read or hear stories of how Armageddon would occur, we have to trace the Biblical Scriptures back to their origin to get the true meaning of all those prophecies that have predicted how humanity would succumb to a violent and tragic end. The word Armageddon comes from a Hebrew term meaning “Mountain Megiddo.” Megiddo was a city in ancient Israel. Megiddo and the nearby Jezreel Valley were sites of many ancient battles. It was by the waters of Megiddo that God helped the Israelite army defeat the Canaanites. This is probably where the Ark of the Covenant was instrumental in the defeat of the Israelites over the Canaanites.
Today, the dawn of Armageddon actually began in 1914 when World War I began. And, world leaders have only escalated global events to that final point of no return. It is as if a giant of one catastrophe after another is pushing humanity closer to that doomsday. Questions have to be asked by each and every one of us. Is that day of reckoning, that point of no return, the day of reckoning, that day when Armageddon reaches its climax, avoidable, or will humanity come face to face with that fate we might have learned to live in? peace and harmony with humanity and nature, but we did not? you It is sad to say that the dawn of Armageddon that began 105 years ago, where today the clock strikes half past twelve, is not on our side to prevent the clock from moving closer to midnight.
