Seye Aluko:
I refer to Luke Onyekakeyah’s article (The Guardian, pg.9, 9 June 2015) titled “Roots of the Mediterranean crisis”.
In this article Onyekakeyah writes in a lucid manner, and underlines the many factors that force people to flee from their homelands. He relates how in the case of the Trans Mediterranean migration, those who flee have to ultimately brave the perilous sea crossing between Africa and Europe.
Onyekakeyah describes the hardships experienced by migrants (those that flee). He relates the spill- over effects that these migrations cause the unwilling host countries (especially Italy). Onyekakeyah rightly notices that conflicts merely increase worldwide, in spite of the advances in technology that men are privy to.
The lucidity of Onyekakeyah’s article notwithstanding, he has merely succeeded in pointing at the miscellaneous evils that have caused people to flee from their countries, he has not prescribed solutions to them. His only attempt at this is a belated suggestion that to counter the chaos, the United Nations should “rise to the challenge.”
Should Onyekakeyah not have disclosed that the multiplicity of problems facing the world are spiritual in nature, and not earthly? That means that these problems are caused by men’s actions and inactions. And that changes in these catastrophes cannot occur without there first being changes in the behavior of men. And that for millennia men’s behavior has been mainly geared towards evil. And when men cannot put a stop to this general evil, Almighty God Himself has to directly intervene forcibly to put a halt to the damage brought upon His marvelous creation by errant man! And it is this forceful intervention, which can be summarized as being a struggle between the forces of Light and Darkness (good and evil) that causes the violent changes that we witness all around us today!
Thus the earth has now reached the long-prophesised “End Times” or “ The Last Judgement,” which events receive copious mention in the Holy Bible. These events are the fallouts of man’s errant behavior. But whereas many a “believer” of the scriptures reckons that these events are to take place “in the future,” he has to reconcile himself with the fact that the events are already “taking place right now!”
Onyekakeyah, can you not explain to your readers that the multiplicity of ills plaguing the world now occur because the earth has now reached a critical state in its evolution called the “Great New Cosmic Turning-Point?” This is sometimes referred to as “The Age of Aquarius.”
Onyekakeyah, should people not be told that the great instability amongst men cannot be solved by the United Nations, as you seem to infer. He who takes stock of today’s earthly happenings, will realize that the world-wide chaos merely seems to increase minute by minute, hour by hour, and day by day. We have to admit this. But why is this so?
A glance around us will now reveal that there is now on earth a breed of men unparalleled in their bestiality! Wanton murders are commonplace. Out of a great fear of what men can do to their fellow men, men are locked in their housing estates, barricaded by steel gates and metal padlocks. These estates are paraded by security guards and the fierce police dogs. And aircraft are not immune from painstaking checks to deter would- be assassins, bombers and suicide – bombers from gaining access to these planes. Terrorism has spread worldwide, and one man thinks little of bombing his fellow- citizen’s church, temple or mosque!
Onyekekayah, could you not have told your readers of “The Great New Cosmic Turning Point” that has now commenced on earth?
Abd ru shin is author of the stupendous work, The Grail Message “In the Light of Truth,” which Message can give the answers to many of the questions that you (Onyekakeyah) ask. The Grail Message is a world-shaking compendium of Truth, and Abd ru shin is a “Truth-Bringer.” And since 1929 Abd ru shin has prophesied that a time of great ferment (torment) awaits men because they have wantonly deviated from the true direction Almighty God scheduled for them. And instead, men in a fool-hardy manner, have sought and followed wicked and evil paths of their own. Abd ru shin states that the chaos observed is a payback from man’s evil ways!
Abd ru shin has made the following observations:
And now the time has come when everything, everything that has hitherto taken place in the world, must be redeemed! What has been wrong, what is happening on earth today, not one word will remain unatoned for!
This atonement is not reserved for a distant future, but is already taking place in the present time!
Rejoice, for this Divine Justice is near! It is already working in every country on earth! Look at the confusion! This is the effect of the approaching Will of God! It is the setting-in of the purification!
For this reason everything that is wrong among men is already now meeting with its doom, be it in economics, the state, politics, the churches, sects, peoples, families and also in the individual! Everything, everything is now dragged before the Light, so that it may reveal and simultaneously judge itself therein! Every kind of tribulation is increasing to the point of despair, until nothing remains but hopelessness! Only then will there be the right soil that pleads once more for God’s help! After murder and fire, starvation, pestilence and death, after man has recognized his own incapacity.
The great upbuilding begins.
(Submission, The Grail Message, pgs 162-164,excerpted).
Therefore, Onyekakeyah, the migration of thousands of persons fleeing persecution, war, famine etc. and hoping to attain to a better life in Europe, are merely one side of a multifaceted imbroglio. There is world wide instability because the ways of men have become increasingly divergent from the ways of Almighty God. Look at Nigeria for instance. This country has the resources: crude oil, minerals and agricultural produce, which endowments should have made it the pearl of Africa, if not the world! It is likely that this is what Almighty God had in mind when He lavished this largesse on the nation. But see what has happened. Nigeria is a nation struggling to get on its feet! Observe the commercial capital city – Lagos. This is a city of irritating traffic bottlenecks. Countries that are progressive, ie. England, France, Germany etc. have built a train system that is underneath the ground, and this is called “the subway.” But in Nigeria we have all manner of vehicles, trucks, lorries, tankers etc. struggling for limited road space. In mass-transportation the greatest numbers of passengers should be transported using the minimum amount of vehicular space That is the meaning of “mass transit.” But in Nigeria the motorcycle has come to fill the gap. The motorcycle is more effective because it transports the passenger and driver within the minimum available space. And that is why the motorcycle has arisen as “king” to a plethora of wrong past transportation decisions.
Onyekakeyah, the road will be long for meaningful change in the plethora of problems that beset the world. They cannot be dismissed with a wave of the hand! It requires a change in the public mindset! Men will now have to concern themselves with “The Will of God,” and for men who will not do this voluntarily, such men will be caught up in the climactic spiral of alarming world events. Onyekakeyah, the solution demanded by Almighty God is a spiritual inner-change only. Only that will guarantee such men so inclined will be found worthy of experiencing the long-prophesised coming “Kingdom of Peace.”
In conclusion men have to realize that there are incisive reasons for the great decline in men’s circumstances, and there are potent messages that God sends to men in the increased restlessness of the earth. Happy is the man who can understand these warnings and make the proper adjustments for them. He would be figuratively speaking be like one of the wise virgins who had oil in her lamps, and did not miss the “Bridegroom” when his hour of arrival was come, and which Bridegroom held out his hand for her and accompanied her into the Wedding feast!
