SELF DESTRUCTION

MILANKA SOKIC

1. FIG. 2 MILANKA SOKIC, A CONCERNED INDIVIDUAL, 2014

IN 1965, I WAS A RESIDENT OF A COMMUNIST COUNTRY, SO I DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ THE BIBLE; NEVERTHELESS, I WAS TOLD BY THE HEAVENLY COURT, WHILE ASLEEP, ABOUT MESSIAH’S (GOD’S ANOINTED) PERSECUTION IN THIS WORLD, HIS ESCAPE TO GOD’S KINGDOM, HIS JUDGMENT AFTER MANY YEARS AND HIS IMMEDIATE RETURN TO THE NEW PEACEFUL WORLD. ALSO, I WAS ABLE TO SEE THROUGH THE EYES OF MESSIAH WHAT HE SAW WHEN HE RETURNED TO JERUSALEM. APPARENTLY, HE WAS ABLE TO SEE THE NEW PEACEFUL PEOPLE IN EUROPE AND ISRAEL, AS WELL AS AREAS OF VARIOUS COUNTRIES THAT WERE DESTROYED.

SO FAR, I HAVE NOT BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THE MESSAGE FROM THIS DREAM BECAUSE I HAVE-NOT SEEN SERIOUS SIGNS OF THIS WORLD’S DESTRUCTION. HOWEVER, AT THIS POINT IN TIME, I CAN SEE THE BEGINNINGS OF THIS WORLD’S DESTRUCTION IN THE PARTS OF THE GLOBE THAT APPEARED DESOLATE IN MY DREAM. THESE NEW EVENTS HAVE BEEN MOTIVATING ME TO COMMUNICATE MY DREAM TO OTHERS AND TO EXPLORE CAUSES OF NATIONS’ SELF - PROPELLED DESTRUCTION, SUCH AS DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD FROM ADAM AND EVA AND UP TO NOW.

THE INITIAL CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF OUR SELF-PROPELLED VIOLENCE

ACCORDING TO GENESIS, HUMANS WERE CREATED PERFECT, BUT THEY CHANGED AFTER THE FIRST SIN. TO BEGIN WITH, ADAM AND EVA WERE CREATED WITH THE ABILITY TO SEE SIMILARITIES, THINK POSITIVELY AND LIVE IN HARMONY WITH EACH OTHER AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT. HOWEVER, THIS SITUATION CHANGED WHEN THEY ATE THE PROHIBITED APPLE AND BECAME ALL KNOWING LIKE GOD. AT THIS POINT, THEY DEVELOPED THE ABILITY TO SEE DIFFERENCES, FORM NEGATIVE IDEAS, AND ACT SELFISHLY TOWARD EACH OTHER AND THEIR HARSH SURROUNDINGS OUTSIDE OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN.

ALSO, THEIR CHILDREN, ABEL AND CAIN, WERE AFFECTED ADVERSELY BY THIS NEW SITUATION, BUT THEY RESPONDED DIFFERENTLY. ABEL CHOSE TO BE A POSITIVE THINKER, SO HE ENDURED HIS HARDSHIPS WITHOUT THE LOSS OF FAITH IN GOD. CAIN, ON THE OTHER HAND, WAS ANGRY WITH GOD BECAUSE HE HAD TO WORK HARD, BUT HE WAS NOT REWARDED FOR HIS EFFORTS. HIS ANGER WITH GOD LEAD HIM TO OFFER GOD A MEDIOCRE RESULTS OF HIS LABOR. CONSEQUENTLY, HE WAS NOT BLESSED BY GOD LIKE HIS BROTHER. MOREOVER, CAIN REFUSED TO FOLLOW GOD’S REQUEST TO IMPROVE HIS BEHAVIOR. INSTEAD, HE INDULGED IN HIS NEGATIVE FEELINGS, WHICH MOTIVATED HIM TO MURDER HIS ONLY BROTHER.

AS A RESULT, CAIN WAS PUNISHED BY GOD FOR HIS SINS. FIRST, HE WAS EXILED AND FORCED TO BECOME A WONDERER. THIS SITUATION FORCED HIM TO BECAME A CITY BUILDER AND FATHER OF MANY CHILDREN. SECOND, HE WAS PUNISHED BY GOD WHEN HIS DESCENDANT PERCEIVED HIM AS AN ANIMAL AND KILLED HIM UNINTENTIONALLY. ALTHOUGH CAIN AND HIS DESCENDANTS WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL, THEY EVENTUALLY PERISHED. BEING EXILED FORM THEIR LAND, THEY SETTLED IN CITIES WHERE THEY MADE THEIR LIVING FROM LIVESTOCK AND MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES. THEIR CREATIVE SUCCESS AND INDEPENDENCE LEAD THEM TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES COMPLETELY FROM GOD, PROFANE HIS NAME, AND ACT DISHONESTY AND DESTRUCTIVELY TOWARD EACH OTHER AND THE ENVIRONMENT. AS A RESULT, GOD WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THEM, SO HE ARRANGED FOR THEM TO BE DESTROYED BY FLOOD.

JACOB’S ATTEMPTS TO RECTIFY ADAM’S AND EVA’S FALL FROM GOD’S GRACE

UNLIKE CAIN AND HIS DESCENDANTS, THE PATRIARCH JACOB WAS A POSITIVE THINKER AND A PEACEFUL MAN. HE ACCOMPLISHED THIS GOAL BY FOLLOWING ABRAHAM'S WAY OF LIFE. FOR INSTANCE, WHEN JACOB WAS CONFRONTED WITH A DIFFICULT SITUATION, HE ASKED GOD TO HELP HIM. HIS PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED, SO JACOB MANAGED TO OVERCOME HIS OPPONENTS WITH GOD’S HELP AND NOT BY VIOLENCE. ALSO, JACOB ENDURED HIS PHYSICAL INJURY BY THE ANGEL. FOR INSTANCE, HE DID NOT RETALIATE WHEN HIS HIP WAS DISLOCATED. INSTEAD, HE ASKED THE ANGEL TO BLESS HIM, SO HE BECAME THE MAN WHO OVERCAME HIS OPPONENTS IN A PEACEFUL WAY. AS A RESULT, HIS PEACEFUL DESCENDANTS HAVE BEEN SELECTED BY GOD TO BECAME MORAL TEACHERS OF THE MANKIND.

MY ATTEMPT TO RECTIFY MY SELFISH AND VIOLENT NATURE

UNLIKE THE PATRIARCH JACOB, I WRESTLED WITH AN ANGEL IN MY DREAM WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER. I PREVAILED OVER THE ANGEL BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO WRESTLE WITH ME. IN FACT, HE ALLOWED ME TO OPEN HIS CROWN AND TAKE GOLD THAT WAS HIDDEN IN IT.

THIS DREAM LASTED FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT IT LEAD ME TO A LONG STRUGGLE WITH MY OWN SELFISH DESIRES FOR POWER AND MATERIAL SUCCESS. FORTUNATELY, I CHANGED WHEN I GOT THE ABILITY TO SEE THE FUTILITY OF MY DESIRES FOR REACHES AND FAME. CONSEQUENTLY, I DECIDED TO DEDICATE MY LIFE TO LOVE OF GOD, MANKIND, AND GOOD DEEDS. TODAY, I OWN MY SUCCESS TO THIS DREAM, TEACHINGS OF JEWISH PROPHETS, AND INPUTS BY MY ADOPTED MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER.

CAUSES OF VIOLENCE AMONG THE NATIONS

UNFORTUNATELY, MANY INDIVIDUALS AND NATIONS THAT DESCENDED FORM NOAH HAVE NOT BEEN THE FOLLOWERS OF GOD’S TEACHINGS. AS A RESULT, THEY HAVE BEEN MOTIVATED TO STRUCTURE THEIR LIVES AND THEIR ECONOMIES AROUND THE ACQUISITION OF WEALTH AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS. FOR INSTANCE, SELFISH NATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN ENGAGED IN MURDERS AND WARS IN ORDER TO ENSLAVE OTHERS AND EXPROPRIATE THEIR POSSESSIONS AND IDEAS. OBVIOUSLY, THESE NATIONS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING GOD’S TEN COMMANDMENTS , WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO ENSUE OUR PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE.

THE MOST RECENT AND THE MOST TERRIFYING CONSEQUENCE OF NATIONS’ REFUSAL TO FOLLOW GOD’S TEN COMMANDMENTS

IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT THE WWII WAS CAUSED BY GERMAN DISBELIEF IN THE EXISTENCE OF GOD AND THEIR BELIEF IN THE SUPERMAN. FIRST, THEIR DISBELIEF IN THE EXISTENCE OF GOD MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO RESPECT GOD’S COMMANDMENTS THAT PROHIBIT GREED, ENVY, ROBBERY AND MURDER. FOR EXAMPLE, THEIR EXCESSIVE ENVY AND GREED MADE THEM TO DESIRE POSSESSIONS OF OTHER NATIONS SUCH AS GOLD, LAND, AND NATURAL RESOURCE. CONSEQUENTLY, THESE FEELINGS MOTIVATED THEM TO ROB OTHER NATIONS WITH THE HELP OF THEIR MILITARY OPERATIONS. FOR INSTANCE, IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT GERMANS MANAGED TO GRUB GOLD AND OTHERS POSSESSIONS FROM RICH JEWISH PEOPLE AND OTHER NATIONS THAT THEY CONQUER. SECOND, THEIR UTTER SELFISHNESS AND INABILITY TO LOVE OTHERS AS THEMSELVES MADE THEM TO THINK THAT THEY ARE FREE TO ACT AS NICHE’S SUPERMAN. THIS TYPE OF REASONING WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR BRUTAL MASS MURDERS OF GYPSIES, HOMOSEXUALS, JEWISH PEOPLE AND SLAVIC NATIONS. FOR INSTANCE, THEY ENSLAVED AND MURDERED 6 MILLIONS OF JEWISH PEOPLE WITHOUT THE FEELING OF REMORSE. ALSO, THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR DEATHS OF 20 MILLIONS OF RUSSIANS AND MILLIONS OF OTHER NATIONS WHO OPPOSED THEIR PLANS. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES AS MORAL HUMAN BEINGS. INSTEAD, THEY DECIDED TO ACT AS SPECIES WHO ARE CONTROLLED BY THEIR INSTINCTS AND UNABLE TO FEEL MERCY AND COMPASSION FOR THEIR VICTIMS.

ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF PEPLE CLING TO GODNEVERTHELESS, THERE ARE NATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS WHO STILL BELIEVE IN GOD DESPITE THEIR LOSES AND BAD FORTUNES. FOR INSTANCE, THE SURVIVORS OF THE WWII CRIMES HAVE STRENGTH TO PRAISE GOD EVERY DAY. THEY ARE GRATEFUL TO THE CREATOR WHO GAVE THEM MORAL LAWS, SO THEY PRAY AND HOPE THAT THE VIOLENT NATIONS WILL CHANGE EVENTUALLY.

MY SUGGESTIONS AND CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLENT NATIONS REFUSAL TO FOLLOW GOD’S TEN COMMANDMENTS

ALTHOUGH OUR PROSPECTS FOR A LASTING PEACE ARE VERY BLEAK AT THIS PINT IN TIME, WE HAVE TO TRY TO CHANGE THE CURRENT SITUATION. FIRST, WE HAVE TO HELP VARIOUS BRUTAL NATIONS TO UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW GOD’S TEN COMMANDMENTS. SECOND, WE HAVE TO TEACH THESE NATIONS HOW TO CONTROL THEIR NEGATIVE THOUGHTS AND SOLVE THEIR INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS BY USING THE WIN-WIN METHODS INSTEAD OF WARS AND MASS MURDERS. THIRD, WE HAVE TO INVEST MONEY IN RESEARCH THAT WILL HELP US TO CREATE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SYSTEMS THAT WILL RESEMBLE THE GARDEN OF EDEN, WHERE ALL INDIVIDUAL AND NATIONS WILL TAKE AS MUCH AS THEY NEED. THESE STEPS WILL HELP US TO LIVE IN PEACE AND AVOID INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS THAT CAN LEAD TO NATIONS’ SELF- PROPELLED DESTRUCTION.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT GOD TRIED TO ACCOMPLSH WITH JACOB’S DESCENDANTS WHEN THEY LIVED IN THE WILDERNESS AND IN THE HOLY LAND. UNFORTUATELY, JACOB’S CHILDREN SUCCUMBED TO THE LOSS OF FAITH IN GOD AND HIS TEACHINGS, NEGATIVE THINKING, GREED, AND STRIFE FOR POWER. AS A RESULT, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES FORM INVADING NATIONS AND HAD TO LIVE IN EXILE FOR 2,000 YEARS.

Slide 23. Milanka Sokic, DO NOT HARM THE MESSENGER BECAUSE OF THE MESSAGE, 2016

ALTHOUGH ISRAEL'S EXILE WAS VERY HARSH, THE NATIONS’ PUNISHMENT WILL BE FATAL. ACCORDING TO MY DREAM VISION OF THE NEW WORLD, A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES APPEARED OBLITERATED. FIRST, LEBANON, SYRIA, TURKEY AND COUNTRIES EAST OF SYRIA AND TURKEY WERE BURNED AND COVERED WITH ASHES. SECOND, COUNTRIES THAT ARE NORTH OF ISRAEL SUCH AS UKRAINE, BELORUSSIA AND WESTERN RUSSIA APPEARED DAMAGED, BUT THE REST OF RUSSIA WAS SPARED. THIRD, AFGHANISTAN, PAKISTAN, INDIA, BURMA, THAILAND, INDONESIA, VIETNAM, KOREA, AND SOUTHERN CHINA AND MONGOLIA APPEARED GRAY AND DEVOID OF LIFE. FORTH, THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT APPEARED DARK, COLD AND LIFELESS. HOWEVER, I AM NOT AWARE ABOUT THE FATE OF COUNTRIES THAT ARE SOUTH OF ISRAEL BECAUSE MESSIAH DID NOT LOOK IN THAT DIRECTION. UNLIKE THE ABOVE MENTIONED COUNTERS, ISRAEL’S ENVIRONMENT WAS INTACT. I SAW THAT THE ENTIRE AREA WAS GREEN AND IN BLOOM. NEVERTHELESS, ISRAEL'S POPULATION APPEARED VERY SPARSE. FOR INSTANCE, THERE WERE ABOUT 500 JEWISH PEOPLE IN JERUSALEM AND 12 PALESTINIANS. TO MY SURPRISE, THEY LIVED IN PEACE AND WORSHIPED GOD UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF A COHEN. ALSO, EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENT WAS SPARED FROM DESTRUCTION, BUT ITS POPULATION WAS VERY SMALL AND CONSISTED FORM NEW AND PEACEFUL HUMAN BEINGS. THESE NEW PEOPLE WERE CREATED BY GOD PRIOR TO MESSIAH’S RETURN TO THE NEW WORLD.

THIS VISION ABOUT THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL AND THE PEACEFUL WORLD MADE ME HAPPY AT FIRST. HOWEVER, MY HAPPINESS WAS DIMINISHED WHEN I NOTICED THE ABOVE MENTIONED DESTRUCTION OF THE CURRENT WORLD, SO I LEFT THE NEW WORLD. THIS WAS THE END OF MY DREAM ABOUT MESSIAH AND THE NEW WORLD.

AT THE END, I DECIDED TO INFORM YOU ABOUT THE FUTURE EVENTS BECAUSE I SEE THE BEGENING OF THE END OF THIS WORLD WHEN I LOOK AT THE CURRENT CONFLICTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND AT THE ONGOING TENSIONS BETWEEN THE WEST AND THE EAST. PLEASE, TAKE THIS MESSAGE FROM GOD SERIOUSLY AND TRY TO COEXIST IN PEACE. PERHAPS, THIS WILL HELP YOU TO PRESERVE THIS WORLD FORM ITS SELF-PROPELLED DESTRUCTION.
