Apartheid

I don't condone for one minute the acts of disrespect for human life and the heartlessness of the system with the unfortunate name of apartheid. (It means to be set-apart, holy). I believe that our Creator created us to live in harmony with our own people, and in good neighbourliness with those of different cultures.

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ wants us to love even our enemies, meaning not that we should hug and kiss every Tom, Dick, and Harry, but that we should have the common courtesy to contribute and care for anybody that's in a difficult situation, if it's within our means.

He made the nations and set the boundaries.

"[He] hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; " - Act 17:26.

So let's allow each other to live in peace. You live your life, and I'm living mine. Live and let live, but eliminate those spirits that instigate hate, and acts of unmerciful barbarism. Make sure you are not a friend of our Father's enemies.

"Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you." - Joh 15:14.

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." - Mat 7:12.

The thing most people, including myself, tends to forget is that it's what's in the head that's driving us. Survival is a spiritual one. No, not a spooky one, it's rather about that which is believed by each individual. One actually tends to do what one believes. If you believe that you will be killed when you jump off a cliff, you certainly will. An act of love is driven by an intercessory feeling of putting oneself in the situation of the other. You act because you remember, and you can identify.

"Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me." - Mat 25:34-36.

The meek shall inherit the earth. Nobody is going to heaven yet. First there is the thousand years of peace, and our Leader and King will rule with us -- spiritual Israel. We will be able to walk through walls, and we will be exceedingly happy and content. We will be successful in whatever we do. We will be blessed, and we will rejoice and praise our Beloved Father and our Brother. We will have reason to celebrate. Now is not the time. How can Christians celebrate while people is murdered and raped every day? Nowhere do we read that he and his disciples entertained their audiences with music.

Now is a time for repentance, tears of shame, and a broken spirit, a circumcised heart, and a begging for mercy. We have sinned. We have discarded wisdom and knowledge of our God. We forgot that He gave us his commandments, "that which man must do to live." We forgot the Sabbath, although He says: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." - Exo 20:8.

If we want to overcome, we have to keep standing. We'll have to take courage and fight the good fight. We are in deep trouble, and only He can save us. I believe He will, not because of our righteousness, but because of His mercy.

‘And you shall set yourselves apart, and shall be set-apart, for I am יהוה your Elohim, and you shall guard My laws and do them. I am יהוה, who sets you apart. - The Scriptures Lev 20:7,8.
