Peace ya’ll. Today being Understanding Cipher which I cee as having a clear view of what is going on around you. This clear and complete view is a compilation of details gained through researching, objective reasoning and experience. Any conclusion accepted without legwork is a belief accepted on face value. So dig it, I was building with my Queen yesterday and that conversation has inspired this blog (Thanks Beloved). It was brought to our attention that there is a Christian Radio Station that was on air suggesting that President Barack Obama is the Antichrist and that these were “The Last Days and Times”. The person who raised notice of the station was pretty shaken by the tone and angle of the speakers. Her surprise was kinda odd to me, because before Obama, people had claimed Bush was the Antichrist, and before him it was Reagan-see the pattern? In addition and contrast to that, when you consider how many had claimed to be the Messiah, or Mahdi, where kinda due for the antithesis. In any event, Beloved raised the question “Have things really changed that much?” After discussing it for about a half an hour we came to conclusion that Solomon did “There is nothing new under the Sun”. Even with the Internet, futuristic weapons and cloning, as a world we’re still pretty much in the same place that we’ve been “since been pimpin, since been pimpin, since been pimpaaan”. People have been screaming about the end of the world since the beginning of the world, using crime, disease, inclement weather and anything else they can as “signs” to support their aim. First is was 2000, now it’s 2012, once we get there they’ll be pushing for 2050 when America starts “Browning”. The station also said that people shirking religion for Yoga, Meditation and the like is an “act of the devil”-which is funny because a lot of those sciences and cultures are older than Christianity itself. I would think dealing with something ancient has a better chance of yielding a link to the origin than anything else (if Christians follow Jesus, and Jesus was a Jew- who made Christianity? Don’t answer, it’s rhetorical). It also seems that the older people get the more they lean on the “End of Days” premise (maybe because they’re looking at the end of their own days). I bring this subject up to say this-don’t allow yourself to be steered by someone else’s direction. Cee the picture completely for self. If you’re interested in what the Bible says go through the proper channels to learn how the “speak” is printed, so that you can know what should be taken figuratively, literally, or otherwise. There’s a brother named A.A.Rashid who breaks down the Bible very deeply and he’s not even a Christian (which speaks volumes), but check him out @ www.aarashid.com to see how he delves into the coded language. The other thing I wanted to say is we are a microcosm of the universe around us. So, if we constantly ingest the fear and propaganda of self-destruction we will continue to produce the same in our immediate circles. Everybody is alarmed about Swine Flu. Racists everywhere are probably feeling vindicated in their hatred for Mexicans now. I can see them sitting in their porch chairs rocking like “SEE!! I knew we shouldn't have let those damned Wetbacks in our country!!” Not knowing or caring that those people on Mexico were probably the victims of a bio-warfare experiment. I can’t help but think back to Bird Flu in China and think what’s next Zebra Flu in Africa?..We’ll see, won’t we..In any event, don’t let the devil plant fear in you as an adult. If Obama is the Antichrist he’s right on schedule and anybody against is too damn late (as I remember in Revelations this stuff is inevitable anyway, so eat, drink and be merry!!). If he’s not the Antichrist, the Christian radio station will probably quote a scripture as a disclaimer and blame Soulja Boy..or Chris Brown..or Swine flu since most Christians eat pork, even though the Bible says otherwise..Aight, family. Peace..
