From a historical context, what we are facing now is a mere blip and no reason for fanatics to play their 'end of days' trump card.

The beubonic plague which wiped out half of Europe and Asia is more fitting with Jesus' apocalyptic predictions in Matthew 24, not anything we are facing now. The fall of the Roman Empire (as depicted by the feet of steel and clay in Nebuchadnezzer's famous dream) and the subsequent descent into inter-tribal feudalism during the dark ages SHOULD have heralded the so-called 'end of days'. Infact many respected biblical scholars fell flat on their face by predicting impending doom during that period. Nothing has changed. They are still making the same predictions today even in comparatively good times.

Biblical predictions of famine, pestilence and destruction are often nuanced with predictions of "sheathing of swords". I wish bible scholars would be less cryptic and just give us the full koko instead of bamboozling us with loose-fitting parables which can be tailored to any situation the world finds itself in.

As I said before, the global recession is not due to some divine working. Simply, it is part of the economic cycle which is oft-experienced in civilised economies. Some would argue that the 1970's were worse, talkless of 1929.

What is your problem with the statement?Of course i deal with them every day not as friends or mates but as partners in what ever that needs done.I don't believe in having white friends as a black person,except white women,which is totally a different case.

English men are back stabbers,nice in your presence but monstrous at your back.

Moreover,i don't get in-touch with a black person for the sake of being black,there have to be the need for it

redsun:
I could go a whole week without having anything to do with a black person,but i deal with white people every day,i can rightly say i know them in-toto

I always despair at Christians' inability to read the signs of the times from an astute historical and socio-economic context, rather than looking through eschatological lenses. This foregoing of logical thought process is the reason why many non-Christians shy away from Christianity. What we are facing now is simply a recession. On average, we have a recession every 8 years. This one is worse than most, but nothing compared to 1929. Kini big deal?

chidichris:
most okada will do better than he did on that interview.
i am so ashamed of him.

he said we have oil but compare the oil with our population, maybe he is asking for more oil from God to equate the population of the country.

he said nigeria has utilized her opportunities and resources to the best of her abilities.

shame to obj.
