GOD's system of doom
By Layth (e-mail: laytth@hotmail.com)

"We have sent down to you a scripture containing your message. Do you not understand?" (21:10)

When we read the stories of previous generations as related in The Reading (Quran), most of us are unable to relate to them thinking that they are 'tales from the past' which no longer have any significance in our age of science & technology.

"We narrate to you the best narration's through the revelation of this Reading (Quran). Before this, you were totally unaware." (The Reading 12:3)

The GOD tells us that what is being told is SIGNIFICANT to us and that in it are lessons which we must learn from:

"In their history, there is a LESSON for those who possess intelligence. This is not fabricated Hadith; this (Quran) authenticates all previous scriptures, provides the details of everything, and is a beacon and mercy for those who believe." (The Reading 12:111)

We learn of people who existed before us like the people of 'Aad', 'Thamud', 'Noah', 'Pharaoh', 'Lot', etc...

"Have you noted what your Lord did to `Ad?. Erum; with the pillars. The one which the land never saw its like!. Also Thamud, who carved the rocks in the valley. And Pharaoh who possessed might. They all transgressed in the land. They spread evil throughout. Consequently, your Lord poured upon them a whipping retribution. Your Lord is ever watchful." (The Reading 89:7-14)

Some of these nations we are told were even more powerful that we are today!.

"Have they not roamed the earth and noted the consequences for those who preceded them? They used to be more powerful, more prosperous, and built the earth more than you did. Their messengers went to them with clear signs. Consequently, The GOD was not the One who wronged them; they are the ones who wronged their own souls." (The Reading 30:9)

But, why does The GOD tell us about them?.

Yes, they were mostly evil, but how can this information serve us today?.

Well, in the narration's of these stories, what unfolds is a SYSTEM that has been ordained by The GOD which precedes the destruction or annihilation of a nation. If we are smart, we can identify this system BEFORE it is too late and before the destruction or doom on a nation kicks-in (like a check-list).

Remember, The Reading (Quran) gives sight to those who uphold it, making them seers when everyone else may be oblivious to their surroundings...Let us be from 'the people of intelligence' rather than just blind followers of the blind.

"The ones who listen to all that is said, then follow the best. These are the ones whom The GOD has guided; these are the ones who possess intelligence." (The Reading 39:18)

GOD's System:

1. Evil being committed.

The first element that begins the trigger of GOD's system of destruction for a nation or community is that its people start to 'commit evil!'.

"The consequences for those who committed evil had to be evil. That is because they rejected The GOD's revelations, and ridiculed them." (The Reading 30:10)

Although this may be a broad description, the evil that previous nations have been destroyed for includes:

Slavery & Persecution (Pharoh and his people persecuting the Hebrews 7:127) ;

Cheating in Trade & Monopolizing (People of Midyan 7:85);

Fornication and Homosexuality (Lot's people 7:81);

When we look around us today, we find that most countries in the world carry one or more of the above elements which warranted the destruction of the previous people...Does that mean it is their time?.

2. The Leadership.

Once a nation or community fall into the practice of certain evils, then GOD's system allows their leadership to be REFLECTIVE of the people:

"If We are to annihilate any community, We allow the carefree to rule it, they thus commit vast corruption therein. Then it deserves the retribution, and We annihilate it completely." (The Reading 17:16)

If the people have activated the 1st point of GOD's system for doom, then the leadership will arise that will activate the 2nd point of the checklist. This leadership can be one man, a political party, or any other powerful lobby which will work against The GOD's system of justice, peace and freedom from all persecution and tyranny.

If you feel that there is a country that practices some of the evil listed in point # 1, then look to its leadership to see if it is allowing and promoting corruption.

3. Warnings are Issued.

The GOD having all Glory & Mercy does not only provide warning signals for those who take heed, but He also allows His message (warning) to be spread one last time for any who wish to save themselves.

"We never annihilate any community without sending warners." (The Reading 26:208)

4. Mass wealth.

When the people have committed evil and the leadership also promotes such corruption, then The GOD's system allows that nation / community to be given wealth (sometimes excessive) to increase their transgression.

"When they thus disregard the message given to them, we open for them the gates of everything. Then, just as they rejoice in what was given to them, we punish them suddenly; they become utterly stunned." (The Reading 6:44)

Thus, if you are seeing a country which commits evil, has evil leadership, has been warned, and is being given wealth! then you'd better be on your way out A.S.A.P.

5. The Destruction Comes.

After the 4 steps above are met, the community or nation is then flung into destruction (be it war, earthquakes, volcanoes, etc..).

"Many a community we annihilated for turning unappreciative of their lives. Consequently, here are their homes, nothing but uninhabited ruins after them, except a few. We were the inheritors." (The Reading 28:58)

It must be noted that the above 5-steps represent a 'Macro' scale of GOD's system for destruction. However, it is also possible to see this system put into effect on a 'Micro' scale if a person or family is 'warned' and they do not heed the warning or embrace GOD Alone (they will be elevated perhaps in wealth or power, but then dropped into misery or destruction just as fast).

The Future.

The industrial revolution has quickly advanced technology making the world into 'One Global Village'. Thus, we are no longer isolated by our geographic locations or distances...

TV broadcasting has reached almost every home through satellite technology, the advancement of flight has made trade between nations a must for survival...the Internet has reached millions of homes with its vast array of data...The WTO, UN, IMF, World Bank, etc...

Thus, what is occurring is something that has not been seen since the time of Noah (when his society dominated the world) nearly 13,000 years ago.

The fornication and evil is no longer limited to just one or a few nations...but it has entered every home and the politics and politicians have formed one 'secret' club where they divide the world spoils amongst themselves...

"Why do they not reflect on themselves? The GOD did not create the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, except for a specific purpose, and for a specific life span. However, most people, with regard to meeting their Lord, are disbelievers." (The Reading 30:8)

The danger of this 'global village' may now be clear. We are at risk for a GLOBAL destruction as these governments conspire and plot evil with each other...and they trigger the system that has been put-in-place by The GOD.

Signs:

There are a few alarming events that have occurred recently which warrant serious attention from the students of The Reading (Quran) everywhere:

1. Reaching the Moon - 1969

"The hour is near and the Moon is breached" (The Reading 54:1)

This verse has been mangled in the traditional translation as the Moon being 'split' which is why very few have been concerned with its occurrence.

However, 'The Reading' tells us that reaching the Moon is a sign that our destruction may be very near. Also, the entire Sura (54) speaks of the destruction of all previous generations (Noah, 'Ad, Thamud, etc..).

"They disbelieved, followed their opinions, and adhered to their old traditions." (The Reading 54:3)

The above verse sounds very familiar to most of us as it has been the reaction of 'traditional' scholars for centuries.

2. The 'Creature' (dab'a).

"And when they have DESERVED the retribution, We will produce for them a creature, made of earthly materials, declaring that the people are not certain about our revelations." (The Reading 27:82)

Traditional translations link this with Hadith narration's of a 'snake-like' creature which appears in the mountains of Mecca and speaks to the people. Although I for one would be fascinated to see a dragon being interviewed on CNN, somehow myths & fairy tales do not serve The GOD's purpose or His system.

The translation of the 'Dab'a' being the computer (made from silicon and containing data or signals which move through it) is indeed a unique, but very intriguing one.

As most of us know, computers did not start to become commercialized until the early 70's (after the landing of man on the Moon!), also, now in the 21st century, there is not a home or school that can do without the computer.

But, how can the computer warn the people?.

Well, how is it you are reading this article?. Is it not the Internet that has made possible communication when it was not possible before?.

There are very few now who have not been exposed to the message of GOD Alone through the Internet (in an e-mail, or chat, or discussion, or site)...Thus, the message is being propagated like never before through this medium (eventhough most reject it).

If the computer, or Internet, is indeed the 'Dab'a', then that spells some major trouble brewing as its appearance will only come when the people have 'DESERVED' the retribution!.

If you recall the points of destruction that we have listed above, then you will note that we have entered into the time where the message is being propagated like never before (points # 3&4). This would indicate that the countdown has indeed begun, and we are at the final stage of an eminent event!.

3. The Smoke.

One of the prophecies in 'The Reading' that has not yet occurred is that of the 'smoke':

"Therefore, watch for the day when the sky brings a profound smoke. It will envelope the people; this is a painful retribution." (The Reading 44:10-11)

This is the only verse that we can find which talks about a 'future' event related to the destruction of most people.

If we look at this verse in light of the prophecy of the Moon, and the Computer, then it becomes relevant that this will be the next event to come...

There are 3 explanations that may exist for 'what' exactly this smoke will be:

Nuclear Cloud.
This is a possibility since the detonation of an atomic bomb generates a mushroom like cloud which is a 'trademark' of this weapon. What we could see is a 3rd World War in which nuclear weapons are used on a global scale causing much pain for whoever survives the initial blasts.

Asteroid.
A large asteroid striking land on Earth would cause massive Earthquakes and tremors as well as a cloud of dust which would block the sun for a number of year (thus eliminating most life). It is believed that the people of Noah were destroyed with a large asteroid which struck the ocean (cracking the sea floor and releasing lava which boiled the sea water and caused an end to the last ice age).

Pollution.
The Industrial Revolution which began at the end of the 19th century has produced a world full of 'machines' and products. These inventions have been causing a sharp increase in the level of pollutants in the atmosphere and have been discovered to be causing the erosion of the 'ozone' layer (which protects us from the sun's harmful rays) as well as causing a 'greenhouse effect' by locking in the heat of the sun. Such pollution may expose mankind to all kinds of cancers and disease, which have no present cure.

However, for a 'large scale' destruction to occur, it would require that a messenger be sent to its 'most prominent' (remember, the destruction of a community or nation only requires a 'Warner', not a 'Messenger').

"Your Lord never annihilates the communities without sending a Messenger to its most prominent one, to recite our revelations to them. We never annihilate any community, unless its people are wicked." (The Reading 28:59)

Conclusion:

There will be more destruction coming, its signs are everywhere for us to see...The destructions will be on a 'limited' scale, or restricted to certain nations/countries as and when they active The GOD's system for their destruction.

Reflect on the following communities/nations and see which have already incurred the retribution and which may already be triggering its coming:

Iraq?; U.S.S.R.?; Afganistan?; Lebanon?; Syria?; Sudan?; Bosnia?; Germany?; England?; Israel?; China?; U.S.A.?.

However, there will also be a 'large-scale' destruction in the not too distant future...It will not be the end or J-day as there will still be survivors from this 'smoke' (good and bad):

"We will relieve the retribution for awhile; you will soon revert." (The Reading 44:15)

Thus the smoke will eventually lift or its effects will fade away...and life will return to Earth (not as industrialized or advanced as we know it) until the final trumpet is blown and it is time...

The good news is that the system of 'GOD Alone' will once again rise as all other systems will simply be destroyed, and the beleivers will be allowed to survive.

"...It is our immutable law that we save the believers." (The Reading 10:103)

Do you think this is fantasy?:

"There is not a community that we will not annihilate BEFORE the Day of Resurrection, or inflict severe retribution upon them. This has been underlined in the book." (The Reading 17:58)

The GOD tells us of His system for life & death...only those who posses intelligence will take heed.

Expect that the message of 'GOD Alone' will be spreading over the next few years like never before, for most this will be the 'beginning' of the 'end'.

"When triumph comes from The GOD, and victory. You will see the people embracing The GOD's system in throngs. You shall glorify and praise your Lord, and implore Him for forgiveness. He is the Redeemer." (The Reading 110:1-3)
