Back
In the beginning, I determined the length of time when human beings would inhabit the first earth. John, my believer and disciple, recorded prophesies I inspired him to make in the book of Revelation. His prophesies about end of the current earth are due to come about soon.
It was great at the beginning of time. I was so excited about being able to create such a beautiful world.
I remember how I said let there be light and I saw that the light was good
I remember when I made the waters draw together in one place, and dry land appeared, and I saw it was good
I remember when I called on the dry land to put forth vegetation and plants and fruit and trees this was so wonderful to do and see
I remember I created lights in the heavens to separate day from night and I saw that it was good.
I remember I let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures and made birds soar over the earth.
I remember when I created great sea creatures and I saw that this was so good.
I remember when I blessed the earth and made beasts according to their kind, and I saw that it was good.
Most of all, I remember when I made human beings in my image and let them have dominion over all the earth the fish, the birds, the cattle. I blessed those human beings, for I loved them as my children and I loved their company. I told them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue its wild nature for the good of all beings - human, animal, birds, and fish. Human beings were my great creation finale.
I looked at everything I had created and behold it was very good. I was pleased for I had been able to create a beautiful world, with a great diversity of life. Most of all, I was delighted with the human beings I had created to be my companions and friends.
I remember after all the hard work and excitement of creating such a beautiful world, that I rested and blessed that 7th day, and declared it a day of rest for all in celebration of the beauty of the world, and to celebrate the creation of human beings, my new companions.
The thrill and excitement of those days when I created the world is a long time ago. Now, all these centuries on, so much has gone wrong. The freedom I gave to human beings has often been misused. I feel so sad. NO more than sad I feel really angry and let down. Many of the companions I made to share my love have turned selfishly to fighting for what they can get for themselves, and in the process they are destroying my beautiful creation.
Sadly, things started to go wrong soon after I created this beautiful world. Adam and Eve rebelled against my ways and chose what they wanted for themselves. Perhaps I made a mistake in giving them free choice. Their choices brought about pain and suffering and hard toil for Adam and Eve and for all those human beings who followed.
I told my human companions in the beginning to multiply, and how they did! Sadly the more they multiplied the more they fought for things they wanted for themselves, and did things which were an abomination to me. The wonderful human beings that I had created to be my companions abandoned me, ignored my ways and continually did things which offended me and harmed my world and other human beings.
I sent my prophets to speak to them and lead them back into better ways, Joshua, Samuel, Job, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel the list is endless. Sometimes they listened for a while, but it was not long before they drifted back to their old ways. Finally, I sent my son to speak to them he was killed by the very beings I had created to be my companions.
Now, I can barely bring myself to think about what these people have done to the beautiful world that I created. I feel so betrayed.
Now, the world is riven with wars, violence and terrorism
Half the people in the world I created have grabbed most of the resources while the other half starve
Millions die each year from hunger and disease which could be prevented
Many of the beautiful species of animals that I created have been wiped out
Rivers, seas and land have been polluted and there are holes in the Ozone layer I made to protect human beings from deadly rays
Its not all bad, though in my darkest moments I sometimes feel that. There are hopeful signs that some of those who believe in me are trying to restore the beautiful and just world that I created:
There are those who are seeking to rebuild the kind of community life that we had when I was able to walk in the garden with Adam and Eve and enjoy their company, loving each other and sharing our lives
There are those who recognize that I created the whole human race, and who are working to break down barriers and establish good relationships across the world
And, it gladdens my heart to see the human movement to make poverty history my plan was always that people should live without fear of hunger or illness
And, I see some working to made trade fair so that people and countries can get a fair proportion of the resources the world has, while others are working to reduce the pollution, created by human beings, which is destroying my world.
Perhaps my believers can use the light I created to confront the world with my purposes, my vision and my passion for a beautiful and good world. Perhaps the example of the lives of my believers in promoting what is good and right and true will finally have an impact on those who cause evil and harm my people and my world.
I remember too how my Son opened the eyes of a blind man perhaps my believers can do the same and open the eyes of human beings to the truth that I still love every person and want to share my life with them, and that I want my beautiful world to be just and fair and restored to its former beauty.
Yes, the time I pre-ordained for the world is coming to an end. But, theres still time for believers to shed light on the need for human beings to turn back from their self-destructive ways, so that people might once again live in a world where beauty and companionship and love reign supreme.
In the little time that there is left, I will call on my believers to strive to restore the perfection of my creation:
I will call on them to tell others of my love and my passionate desire that they become my companions and share my life
I will call on them to bring about justice and equity and to end the terrible hunger that many people in my world suffer from.
I will call on them to restore the world to the beauty that I created by changing their polluting ways in the areas in which they live
I will call on them to form partnerships across the world with those who believe in my justice and fairness, to bring about a better world.
Perhaps the great gift of freedom of choice that I gave to people can yet be used to bring about good rather than evil.
Perhaps my believers can work together to restore the beauty of my creation and bring us all back into the kind of relationship I created at the beginning of time.
Perhaps .. there is yet time.
I WILL CALL ON MY PEOPLE TO ACT.
