WHERE IS GOD or WHERE WAS GOD? Eritreans and millions will be asking that question after an Orthodox priest's 4 sons and his 2 grandson's were slaughtered by soldiers.



I cried at reading about the senseless tragedy. If we, humans, endowed with God's qualities of love and compassion feel heartbroken at reading such news items, what on earth must it feel like for those poor Eritreans.


Every death is a heartbreak. But when those lives are snuffed out by senseless violence then I look to the supernatural demonic powers that influence such wicked behaviour. It is normal for one human to so hate another human without cause. The slaughtering of innocent people is a sign of the times - the increase of lawlessness as documented in the gospels - MATTHEW 24:3-13.


Unfortunately some people just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time - it is NOT  FATE - it is a heartbreaking tragedy - ECCLESIASTES 9:11.

From my understanding of God Almighty - that Orthodox priest, devout believer, is so loved by God Almighty and the angels. Heaven and the angels are just as heartbroken as decent hearted human beings. God saw what occurred, he saw the hatred in the hearts and minds of those soldiers. BUT more importantly God sees the invisible satanic power that motivates such cruel atrocities. 

On this occasion sadly, God Yahweh, choose to allow the priest's family to be martyred rather than step in - similar to the faithful man JOB - JOB chapters 1-2 - OLD TESTAMENT.


Job was bereaved of his 10 children in one day - the priest was bereaved of 6 members of his family in a day. Job was so heartbroken, he wanted to die. He remained faithful but at one point was so low he wanted to die. His friends offered little comfort. Eventually God spoke to Job personally and Job's reasoning was corrected kindly.


As to the question - WHERE WAS GOD - WHERE WERE THE ANGELS - they were looking on heartbroken, allowing the martyrdom, knowing that the loss, despite its devastation, would be a temporary one, even if it lasted decades, until the believer is re-united with his loved ones. Please be assured that the resurrection hope is a certainty - JESUS/YESHUA is the way and the resurrection. ACTS 24:15 provides us with the guarantee that there will be a resurrection.

 Book Burning - Political and or Part of Spiritual Warfare My attention was turned today towards a passage of scripture in Acts 19, where the apostle were confronted with demonism and demon possession so much so that all the books used by those who practice the occult were collated and burnt publicly - Acts 19:19. In 2020, the world was shocked by the public burnings  of Bibles in Portland Oregon, USA.  This may of constituted a political act of defiance than a total reject of Christianity. Having had my faith in organised religion totally destroyed until Armageddon, I pray for others that are similar being stumbled by selfish, arrogant congregant members who consider themselves above Agape love - they are so materialistic and covet what belongs to others - their level of arrogance knows no bounds! In a country where we have access to the Bible, we should cherish that privilege of being able to read a Bible in our own language. Daily Bible reading is so necessary in the spiritual warfa

 Pre-Mental Health Awareness Month Pathological liars, social media attention seekers, Facebook addicted trolls etc - all have one thing in common - Biblically they fit the description of 2 TIMOTHY 3:13 - evil people and impostors advance from bad to worse. From a psychological perspective they may be demonstrating signs of  mental health disorder - borderline personality disorder, Facebook Addicted Disorder, sadistic/narcissistic borderline personality. It is my view that such trolls, pathological liars, etc should be seeking psychiatric support to deal with their disorders and that their social media accounts should be curtailed. False allegations made by those with personality disorders ruin lives, careers and the reputations of business. Trolls are of a similar vein. It is hard to feel sympathy for malicious people however they must be treated and if needed receive a custodial sentence.
