STARGAZER: GOD vs. JAPAN

GOD vs. JAPAN

Innumerable requests for prayer and candle lighting ceremonies for Japan plague my e-mails and my FB page. Prayers, bead counting and candles assume deity status during these rough and perverse times when mankind seeks answers to why and a faithful approach to calamities, hunger, unemployment, child abuse, homelessness, earth shattering earthquakes and the more than likely reality of a nuclear catastrophe.      

In truth, God knows all that and these... and more.   

He is definitely and attentively looking down at Japan; He is watching now as He was then during Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It is possible that He has a plan, I hope. And that when the time for heavenly judgement is at hand, the millions of dead Japanese Buddhists, and of those converted to Christianity, and  other religious philosophies,  will be amongst the first to be granted a physical body, a spiritual one or  the miracle of reaching Nirvana.

There has been no rest and no peace or solace in this little Planet as the apocalyptic Seventh Angel rides...this time in Japan. However, we may all be in agreement by now that our Kind's disruption of Earth's ecosystems at this rapid rate deserves the intervention of an angel or two.   

I thoroughly believe in God. The logistics of science and nature are too complicated to be the offspring of cosmic explosions, even a nuclear one could not have sufficed.  I speak to our  Maker everyday and thank Him for sparing me for a latter day. However, in the midst of all this disaster, I just wished He, our merciful Creator, could give us a map with an X to mark the spot.
