It is an age-old philanthropic gesture that is undertaken to distribute a refreshing rose milk to neighborhood community members.

There are several religious groups and NGOs that set up stalls to serve the sweet pink water, but when companies take up such a service, it truly reflects that corporates are connected to their roots.

Under the initiative, Impact of Kindness, team members of Impact PR served ‘sharbat’ to hundreds of travelers, homeless and downtrodden in the scorching afternoon summer in Delhi’s south west bustling market.

The company, one of India’s leading public relations and imaging building organisation, set up a stall under its initiative Impact of Kindness, and served ‘chabeel’ to hundreds of commuters, shopkeepers and pedestrians in Dwarka.

Kulpreet Freddy Vesuna, Founder & Managing Director, Impact PR said, “Living on the core purpose of our organization is going beyond corporate social responsibility. In our tradition, serving water is considered a pious act, hence between our hectic schedule of work, we thought of doing “Chabeel Seva”.  All the team members enjoyed and felt inner happiness”.

“It was a very satisfying experience. Quenching thirst of strangers is a blessing,” says Nupur Pandey working as an Executive Assistant.

“The company regularly engages in benevolent activities. We should imbibe qualities in our daily lives,” says Rajeev Dattana, Sales Head, Impact PR.

“It was so hot outside. People enjoyed drinking sharbat. The smile of satisfaction on their faces after drinking was encouraging,” says Ananya Shrivastava, PR Manager at Impact PR.

A glass contains water till the middle. Though the quantity of water does not change, your perception determines if it is half filled or half empty. Similarly, whether you remain cheerful or stay negative in life, depends on the state of your mind.

Ordinarily, parameters to be successful are material objects like a good job, bungalow, car or enough funds with which you buy inconsequential contraptions to make your living comfortable? But well, is that all! Perhaps, not! Had it been so, the affluent and ‘rich’ would have been the happiest lot. But it is really not so?

There is more to life other than money and power and all material things associated with them. You are not what you are on the outside but who you are from the inside. What is inside your head and heart matters to the seeking mind and not the things in possession.

Being rich is not about wealth but your ability to empower yourself with inner strength to deal with temptations and desires and continuing your journey seeking greater heights.  And then maintaining your equilibrium with determination which requires tremendous grit. If you succumb, you’ve lost the battle to vices that surround your mind.  The game is to win the war. 

Gautum Buddha possessed everything possible but gave up his kingdom for one single thing he was not able to find, Truth! Looking for the whys of life, one of the greatest saints on earth found the righteous path in meditative self but by giving up all that he had.

Your satisfaction level is determined by the desires you pursue and how contended your mind is! Nature has catered for your necessities but for your luxuries, you will have to struggle. Once again, opulence is not entirely confined to the four walls surrounding you, but the sky above and what is inside you.

Nature or God has given you so much and yet a large part remains ungrateful.

There is so much in life to be thankful that it takes a life time to understand the power of positivity. Being grateful is really empowering your life happiness, peace and satisfaction. Gratitude is the one virtue that can empower you to reach greater heights. However, it is easy to espouse but difficult to follow through if you acquire it superficially.

It enables you to remain calm, blissful and gives your personality a positive aura that multiplies manyfold as it spreads. So, what is gratitude? If I tell you that just one word can change your life. What will you say? You are about to open the sluices of your revolution. Embrace it open heartedly.

Gratitude in the simplest term is a Thank You!

Saying ‘Thank you’ for being grateful for the acts people do means you appreciate their time and effort. And if you want to unravel the real power, don’t just say it but mean it.

Genuine gratefulness is found if you remain perpetually in the state of thankfulness. This can make you a true influencer and drastically transform the entire ecosystem. Sure-enough this can trigger a chain reaction in the world. The world will be one if all the people remain in a state of gratitude. It is not an utopian dream.

Remaining thankful is a mental state of being grateful for everything you have. Shouldn’t you thank your spouse, children, colleagues, peers, subordinates, or random people for their contribution and the things that they do. In fact, thank everyone you know or don’t, for just being there and all the things they do or don’t. Shouldn’t you thank the air that you breathe or the water you drink. The Corona pandemic was the challenge we faced but we should also use it as an opportunity of learning. What you take for granted is what you should be thankful for.

On a different level, you should be thankful to yourself also; for being you. But this perhaps on a metaphysical level which some may find too abstract or theoretical.

Nevertheless, let the ‘Thank you’ enter your dictionary. It’s your true and powerful weapon to fight your real enemy, ego! Knock down the wall of ego which is stopping your growth and unleash the potential of your personality. Ask yourself, if you acknowledge someone, do you become inferior? On the contrary, by embracing negativity, you become positive.

Practice thank you in your day-to-day life. Magical “Thankful for your help” with a bow and smile, can do wonders. Being grateful makes us humble and positive and less anxious and less apprehensive. Truly humble people have a natural and easy way about them.

Bow down and be the fruit tree that branches out and bends with the weight of the fruits it bears and gives shadow under which many can rest. The Eucalyptus tree stands tall but alone.

The trick to finding meaning in existence is not to worry about what you don’t have but being grateful for what you have. Remember, if you crib for a shoe, there is a man without a leg also.

However, it also doesn’t mean you give up on your dreams or worldly duties and become a hermitage by going to the Himalayas. You can be a saint in the madding crowd as well. 

Change your life, here and now. True gratitude is being meditatively calm in your journey and remaining truthfully happy. It is not a matter of keeping a record of what you receive and consequentially return in equal measure but maintaining an extraordinary minus in the book keeping entries that makes you on the credit side of the balance sheet.

Appreciate not only the finer aspects but even the mundane things. When you do so, you are giving back something more, much more to the community.

Humans are perhaps the most gifted species on earth. At a period of time, when darkness was all pervading and subjective qualities of humans had fallen to the nadir, God manifested on the earth to make human species ‘realise’. Krishna was an ordinary person. What makes him special? He lived in a state of perpetual gratitude and humility that endears Him to our hearts and makes him Lord.

Lust, greed and power surround your thoughts and cage your personality to the soiled burrow.

Appreciation will empower you to flow from narrowness into the ocean of freedom and happiness. Srila Prabhupada says, “Gratitude is the condition of the heart that enables spiritual growth to take place.” Religion guides on a certain path but spirituality allows you to seek the highest point, and beyond.

My religion is better than yours, my house is bigger than yours, my bank balance is bigger than yours will be meaningless in the end. You have delayed my cup of coffee, or have not added enough sugar or not been served properly in a pristine chinaware will be meaningless in the end. I don’t have enough money, you have cheated me or not returned what I loaned will be meaningless in the end.

End is not the end per se but the end of the moment, the day or year. Time is all that you have and when it slips, and it does very easily, it won’t come back. And neither will the glory of Time. Repenting tomorrow is not going to change your existence but gratitude today will. How much effort does it take to say thank you? How much energy does it take to appreciate your spouse, children, friend, neighbour or the man on the street?

You can start trying by just flipping the page for once. 

Remaining calm, start with a smile and keep acknowledging things and people as you go along each day. Notice the difference. And if you desire to take it to the next level, believe your body is a temple, and you will have more love, compassion and kindness.

Being a state of gratitude is a life changer. Start by starting a religion of love and gratitude. Appreciate your journey. Life is beautiful the way it is. Be grateful for everything in life and for life itself. Practice thank you every day and moment! Thank you for reading this and sharing the thought.

What is mental health?

Mental health relates to how we think, feel, and act, entertain, determining how we relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood, adolescence through adulthood. It is cognitive disease including our emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

Ironically, you cannot make out if a woman is suffering from mental health issues. On the surface, it’s all calm and serene but dig deeper and you can see mothers suffer from, stress, frustration, fear, anxiety, depression or even loneliness. They are compounded but a mix of events and environs and these psychiatric disorders manifest to the surface. The joining factor however could be also compounded by economic volatility. If there is a mismatch of expectation and reality, it can add to the mental health issues particularly in women.

Perfectly normal appearing men and women, especially mothers diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, compounded by stress, frustration, fear or even loneliness should be treated by experts.

According to a study conducted by the Global Burden of Disease, nearly 20 crore people in India are estimated to have experienced a known mental disorder. Research indicates that women are twice as likely to develop common mental disorders, such as anxiety and depression, when compared to men. Ironically, for their mental health conditions, between 70 to 92 percent of affected individuals receive very little or no care and mostly go unnoticed. Since women and especially mothers are primary care givers, they should be aware and address any stress, anxiety, depression or any such mental health issue they may be experiencing personally.

What is self care?

To start off, start practicing self-care to give priority to yourself. It can drastically improve mental and physical well being. First and foremost is acknowledging to yourself that you are experiencing bouts of any mental health issue and second is to address them. But just remember not to over think about your expectations, what is going to happen, and he did this and she said that. There are a few quick tips besides eating healthy and maintaining a balanced lifestyle:  Few tips:

• Make a routine. Follow it. Fix a time to go to sleep.
• If possible add habits to your daily routine or make new ones.
• Eat healthy, at regular times. Exercise regularly.
• Living in the moment and be grateful for what you have.
• Be in a state of gratitude. Express gratitude for things and people in your life.
• Get eight hours of sleep each night.
• Say positive things about yourself and others.
• Make new friends and connections.
• Participate in activities you enjoy.
• Don’t compare.

Mental health and well-being of women is impacted by negative life experiences like infertility and prenatal loss, poverty, discrimination, violence, unemployment and isolation. Unequal economic and social conditions also contribute to women’s higher risk of depression. So deal with them by remaining positive and living in goodness of life.

Extra Tips:

• Avoid watching series after series on OTT platforms.
• Maintain personal hygiene.
• Balance time between work (looking after children/job) and entertainment and relaxation.
• Keep off from excessive intake of news.
• Avoid remaining glued to your mobile and limit your screen time.
• Go less shopping. Start looking going for a Minimalistic approach.

Bottom-line: Remember god has a design and there are things in store for you if you are positive, hopeful, creative, happy and do your bit. Karma will do the rest. The best way to deal with mental stress is to be stay happy, be contented and live in a state of gratitude. Slowdown in life! Be happy.

The post This, that, then, how – mixed up! Mind it! appeared first on The Correspondent.

India has achieved over 80 percent vaccination with over 187 crore vaccines administered till April 20. Even adolescents too are getting vaccinated with the elderly even getting booster doses. But still Delhi started witnessing increase in Covid positive cases with daily cases crossing over 2,000 for the last three days.

In response to the increase in Covid cases in the city, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) sprang into action. It made wearing face masks mandatory in the national capital on April 13. The move raised valid doubts and if it was taken in haste and did it indicate re-infection of the virus in the people.

Though vaccination has helped tremendously in mitigating severity of Covid, it is still important to maintain necessary social distancing in public places and usage of masks is still relevant.

PSRI Hospital Senior consultant, Pulmonology, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine Dr Neetu Jain says, “Though vaccination has helped tremendously in mitigating severity of Covid, it is still important to maintain necessary social distancing in public places and usage of masks is still relevant.

“Most people have got vaccinated but still we must not take it easy. We must continue wearing masks as DDMA has made it mandatory once again. People are becoming lax with Covid appropriate behaviour, so making mask mandatory is the step in right direction.”

Becoming Lax!

Doctors and experts, nevertheless feel that the rise in cases could be not only because people are becoming lax in following the Covid protocols but due to the new XE variant surfacing in the country. This new XE variant is a combination of the sub-variants of corona virus that was discovered in South Africa. It first surfaced in Gujarat and Maharashtra in India.

The symptoms of the new XE variant are the same as Covid 19 which include fever, cough, and tiredness, say experts. It is no different from the corona virus.  

Officials state that XE variant is highly transmissible. However, there is a sense of relief also as it is considered mild. 

But regardless of it being mild or not, the case in point it is that XE variant is difficult to detect. And even normal swab test have to be specially tested for the XE variant.

The question comes to mind – Is the new XE variant responsible for the rise in cases?

A few months back, Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur had predicted we could expect the fourth Covid wave around middle of June which will last for two months and peak from August mid onwards. 

“After three waves, first in 2020 (Covid), second in April 2021 (Delta variant) and third in December/January 2022 (Omicron), is this the start of the fourth wave (XE variant)?” says Dr Manav Manchanda of Asian Hospital.

But the government is not keen to go by the IIT researchers and downplays the suggestions that the fourth wave would be hitting the country anytime soon.

However, medical authorities concur with the researchers. Doctors feel that Covid is not over and perceive that the fourth wave could be just round the corner.

Its not over

Without much debate scientific debate, we ought to take care as the threat of corona was not over.

And for those, who have not taken booster dose, you can take Booster dose. The government has reduced the cost of the booster dose which the medical healthcare fraternity was ready to absorb the cost difference. However, even vaccine manufacturers were also ready to take unused stock. There are reports that the vaccine manufactures are willing to adjust the costing in future purchases by the hospitals. Delhi even made it free on April 21.

The booster dose should ideally be given after appropriate time as the elderly are impacted more and thus they need to be cautious. The role of vaccination and the booster dose cannot be undermined, hence take a booster dose if vaccinated.

And women especially need to be extra cautious. Dr Archana Dhawan Bajaj, Gynaecologist, Obstetrician & IVF Expert, Nurture Clinic, said, “Women need to be more alert during pregnancy. There is a chance that you may not be infected and affect your new born, but why take a chance. Pregnant women need to take extra care.”

And did you know that in the age group 12-14 year old, so far, 2.57 crore adolescents have been vaccinated with first dose of vaccine in the country.

However, the government has so far not gone strict and closed schools and resorted to online classes once again and is permitting regular classes even as the cases started surfacing in schools in Noida and Delhi. Doctors in any case, advise caution. 

Remain vigilant

 “Remain vigilant especially for the sake of the children. We have to defeat Corona. The battle is long so, fight till your last mask. Maintain your healthy habits. In any case, Indians normally would wash hands before eating, so we just need to continue to broaden the selfcare base and just go on wearing masks,” says Dr Archna Dhawan Bajaj.

Wash your hand and maintain hygiene and remember to follow the social distancing norms and sanitize yourself whenever needed.

We can see throughout time how we have been slowly conditioned to come to this point where we are on the verge of a cashless society. Would it surprise you to know that the Bible foretold of this event? Don’t believe me? This may be the most important message you will read in these times…please do not ignore this!

This message reveals what the Mark of the Beast is, and the meaning behind counting a number people have been pondering for centuries, 666. This message also shares why Barack Obama is the Antichrist. This is truly a message from God!

In the Revelation of Jesus Christ given to the apostle John, we read:

“He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666” (Revelation 13:16-18 NKJV).

Referring to the last generation, this could only be speaking of a cashless society. Why? Revelation 13:17 tells us that we cannot buy or sell unless we receive the mark of the beast. If physical money was still in use, we could buy or sell with one another without receiving the mark. This would contradict scripture that says we must have the mark to buy or sell. So, it deduces itself to this conclusion.

These verses could not be referring to something spiritual as scripture references two physical locations (our right-hand or forehead) stating the mark will be on one “OR” the other. It once again deduces itself to this conclusion.

Also, how could you determine who truly has a spiritual mark so that they may buy or sell? And, as you will read further in this article, to have the mark of the beast is the same to have the name of the beast, or the number of its name. You will begin to see even more clearly why this mark cannot be something purely spiritual.

Here is where it really starts to come together. It is shocking how accurate the Bible is concerning the RFID microchip. These are notes from a man named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this microchip in the late 1960’s.

“Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads-of-state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about a one-world system. The government commissioned Carl Sanders to design a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the world—a microchip that could be inserted under the skin with a hypodermic needle (a quick, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).

Carl Sanders, with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by tax dollars, took on this project and designed a microchip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible (Brother Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one-and-a-half-million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip inserted.

Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand (the two places Revelation says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient places, but are also the only viable places for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The microchip is approximately seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, crime record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.

Brother Sanders believes that this microchip, which he regretfully helped design, is the “mark” spoken about in Revelation 13:16-18. The original Greek word for “mark” is “charagma,” which means a “scratch or etching.” It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is actually a word in the original Greek. The word is “chi xi stigma,” with the last part, “stigma,” also meaning “to stick or prick.” Carl believes this refers to a hypodermic needle.

Mr. Sanders asked a Boston Medical Center doctor what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor responded that if the microchip broke inside a human body, the lithium would cause a severe and painful wound filled with pus. This is what the book of Revelation says:

“And the first (angel) went, and poured out his vial on the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore on the men which had the mark of the beast, and on them which worshipped his image” (Revelation 16:2).

THE HIDDEN MEANING BEHIND THE NUMBER 666 REVEALED!

What I first want to mention, before I share what the Holy Spirit has revealed to me concerning the number of the beast, is that God confirms in threes. We can see this throughout scripture:

“For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one” (1 John 5:7 NKJV).

“and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:4 NKJV).

“…Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!” (Revelation 4:8 NKJV).

There are many more examples, but I thought I would just share three of them to make the point.

Examining Revelation 13:16,17,18, the first group of three I would like to point out is that the mark of the beast is described in three separate verses, 16, 17 and 18.

The next three I see is in verse 16, “He causes all…” is followed by three contrasting categories of people,

1 – “both small and great,
2 – rich and poor,
3 – free and slave…”.

Then unto verse 17, it opens with, “and that no one may buy or sell except one who has…”, followed by three explanations of what one must have to buy or sell,

1 – “…the mark
2 – or the name of the beast,
3 – or the number of his name”.

Now unto verse 18, we read “Let him who has understanding calculate…”, which is followed by,

1 – “the number of the beast,
2 – for it is the number of a man:
3 – His number is 666”.

The last three I see is the number “6” being used three times in a row. The reason I’m making this point about God confirming in three is because it is the key to unlocking how to calculate the number 666.

Throughout the centuries there have been people trying to calculate numbers based on titles and names that come up to the number 666 to identify one person, the Antichrist; but from Revelation 13:18, I do not see where God is telling us to count up to 666, but rather to count the number of the beast. This number is identified as 666. So the verse is telling us to count the number 666.

What does it mean to count? It means to add up. So how could we add up 666? Remember my previous point about God confirming in threes is key to unlocking the number 666. So logically, what would be the best way to count the number 666? To count it equally by using the rule of three based off the number.

We cannot count it equally as 600+60+6, this would also bring us back to the start.

We cannot count it as 600+600+600, or 60+60+60 because there are no zeroes in between or at the end of 666.

The only logical option is 6+6+6=18.

What is interesting is that the verse that reveals for us to count the number itself is verse 18 (there a total of 18 verses in Revelation Chapter 13), being the third verse out of the three verses that describe the mark of the beast in Revelation 13:16,17,18. What is 18 divided by 3? 6. So 3×6=18, or 6+6+6=18.

Another interesting point is the only two other combinations (making a total of three possible combinations) for placing a “+” symbol in between 666 are:

66+6=72 and 6+66=72.

Add both 72’s together and you get 144.

Why the number 144 is worth our attention is because the verse following Revelation 13:18 is the first time in the Bible where the 144,000 are being described in detail:

“Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads…” (Revelation 14:1).

Now if you add up all three numbers from counting 666 by moving the “+” symbol around, it would be 72+72+18=162. What is compelling about the number 162, is, if you divide 144,000 by 162, you get 888. The name of Jesus in Greek gematria adds up to 888. The New Testament was originally written in the Greek language. Revelation 14:1 not only mentions the 144,000, but also the Lamb who is Jesus.

Now what is interesting about the number for Jesus, 888, is that if you apply the same formula that was used to count 666, you get 8+8+8=24. Why the number 24? Revelation chapter 4 tells us there are 24 elders seated around the throne of God. This is the same throne where Jesus sits.

Now if you take:

8+8+8=24

8+88=96

88+8=96

you get 24+96+96=216.

Take 144,000 divided by 216 and you get 666.

Remember that this was the same exact formula we used to count the number 666 that ultimately brought forth the number 888.

Here is a quick recap to demonstrate how this formula confirms itself as being the true way to count 666:

1: 6+6+6=18 > 66+6=72 > 6+66=72 > 18+72+72=162

2: 144,000 divided by 162=888

3: 8+8+8=24 > 88+8=96 > 8+88=96 > 24+96+96=216

4: 144,000 divided by 216=666

1: 6+6+6=18 > 66+6=72…

As you can see, it is perpetual. And remember that we consistently used a formula that worked in threes being the number that God uses for confirmation.

So what could this mean? Well we know in this world we are identified by numbers in various forms. From our birth certificate to social security, as well as our drivers license; being identified based on a system of ruler ship. So it is possible that this RFID microchip will contain a new identification that has a total of 18 characters (6+6+6).

“here the wisdom is, the one having the mind let him calculate the number of the wild beast, number for “of human” it is, and the number of it 666″ (Revelation 13:1, Greek Translation).

The Greek word “anthrōpos” being used in verse 18 where it says “of human” is the Greek strongs concordance G444. The first two definitions of the word are “a human being, whether male or female”, and, “generically, to include all human individuals”. Could the number of the beast apply to all mankind?

In the Greek (the New Testament was originally written in the Greek language), and other translations, you will notice the beast is described as an “it”, instead of “him”. The reason I’m making this point is because when a translation says “His number is 666”, this would imply a singular person, the Antichrist. But by saying “the number of it 666”, implies that it is of the beast system as a whole.

We can know the number of the beast cannot be to identify products (like a new barcode) to buy or sell because scripture says we cannot buy or sell without the number of the beast. What am I getting at? There will be instances where you could buy something someone made themselves and it wouldn’t have a store branded identification on it. But for this number to be in our chips, that is where it must be to conclude ultimately that we cannot buy or sell without having the number of the beast. As previously mentioned in Revelation 13:18, the number of the beast (6+6+6=18) is a “human number”, definition “generically, to include all human individuals”.

“Why did the Biden campaign choose 30330? 2020 divided by 666 = 3.0330 Who believes this to be a coincidence? October 2020 Isaiah 53:6 Someone said we are being whipsawed in 2020. Truly a great division is taking place between good and evil—both symbolically and literally (riots, unrest, politics). If you take the current year 2020 and divide it by the number 666 (known for its satanic implications) you will get the number 30330 (repeated). This number 30330 happens to be the number used to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Freaky? Supernatural? Odd for sure. Whatever this means, it doesn’t seem good to me. First, why would anyone knowingly choose those particular numbers for their campaign? If they weren’t knowingly chosen, then it appears to be a supernatural act by the evil one himself and I would want to change those numbers ASAP. And if the numbers were chosen knowing their significance, are you satanic? Is this campaign satanic? Either way I do not believe this is a coincidence. And one thing is certain, 2020 is truly being divided by Satan. He is the master deceiver and spreader of chaos. Jesus calls him the father of lies.”

So I looked up this number 30330 concerning Joe Biden, and I found this information:

If you send a text to that number (at that time), you would get a response asking to support Joe’s campaign to take down Donald Trump, with one part in caps saying “CHIP IN >>” pointing to a link to go and donate.

“CHIP IN”? Obama has used this phrase in the past on his twitter and people believe it is a subliminal message to receive the mark of the beast, that is to say the implantable RFID microCHIP that will go IN our body.

Revolution Bible has all the proof!

Is your name written in the Lamb’s book of life? Jesus says that we must be born again to enter the kingdom of God in the Gospel of John chapter 3.

“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name” (Revelation 14:9-11).

BARACK OBAMA IS THE ANTICHRIST:

In the Islamic religion they have man called the Mahdi who is known as their messiah of whom they are waiting to take the stage. There are many testimonies from people online who believe this man will be Barack Obama who is to be the biblical Antichrist based off dreams they have received. I myself have had strange dreams about him like no other person. So much so that I decided to share this information.

He came on stage claiming to be a Christian with no affiliation to the Muslim faith…

“In our lives, Michelle and I have been strengthened by our Christian faith. But there have been times where my faith has been questioned — by people who don’t know me — or they’ve said that I adhere to a different religion, as if that were somehow a bad thing,” – Barack Obama

…but was later revealed by his own family members that he indeed is a devout Muslim.

So what’s in the name? The meaning of someones name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface…

“And He (Jesus) said to them (His disciples), ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven’” (Luke 10:18).

In the Hebrew language we can uncover the meaning behind the name Barack Obama.

Barack, also transliterated as Baraq, in Hebrew is: lightning

baraq – Biblical definition:

From Strongs H1299; lightning; by analogy a gleam; concretely a flashing sword: – bright, glitter (-ing, sword), lightning. (Strongs Hebrew word H1300 baraq baw-rawk’)

Barak ‘O’bamah, The use of bamah is used to refer to the “heights” of Heaven.

bamah – Biblical definition:

From an unused root (meaning to be high); an elevation: – height, high place, wave. (Strongs Hebrew word H1116 bamah baw-maw’)

The day following the election of Barack Obama (11/04/08), the winning pick 3 lotto numbers in Illinois (Obama’s home state) for 11/5/08 were 666.

Obama was a U.S. senator for Illinois, and his zip code was 60606.

The names of both of Obama’s daughters are Malia and Natasha. If we were to write those names backwards we would get “ailam ahsatan”. Now if we remove the letters that spell “Alah” (Allah being the God of Islam), we get “I am Satan”. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

These are just a few of many evidences why Barack Obama is the Antichrist. You can see many more in my article on the website above, as well as read about the dreams I’ve had concerning this man. I’m more than convinced that God has shown me that he is without a doubt the Antichrist, and we will see him rise to power in the not so dinstant future.

Jesus stands alone among the other religions who say to rightly weigh the scales of good and evil, and to make sure you have done more good than bad in this life. Is this how we conduct ourselves justly in a court of law? Bearing the image of God, is this how we project this image into our reality?

Our good works cannot save us. If we step before a judge, being guilty of a crime, the judge will not judge us by the good that we have done, but rather the crimes we have committed. If we as fallen humanity, created in God’s image, pose this type of justice, how much more a perfect, righteous, and Holy God?

God has brought down His moral law’s through the 10 commandments given to Moses at Mt. Sinai. These laws were not given so we may be justified, rather that we may see the need for a savior. They are the mirror of God’s character of what He has put in each and every one of us, with our conscious bearing witness that we know that it is wrong to steal, lie, dishonor our parents, and so forth.

We can try and follow the moral laws of the 10 commandments, but we will never catch up to them to be justified before a Holy God. That same word of the law given to Moses became flesh over 2000 years ago in the body of Jesus Christ. He came to be our justification by fulfilling the law, living a sinless perfect life that only God could fulfill; even bringing the law to it’s truest light by stating, “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:27-28).

The gap between us and the law can never be reconciled by our own merit, but the arm of Jesus is stretched out by the grace and mercy of God. And if we are to grab on, through faith in Him, He will pull us up being the one to justify us. As in the court of law, if someone steps in and pays our fine, even though we are guilty, the judge can do what is legal and just and let us go free. That is what Jesus did almost 2000 years ago on the cross. It was a legal transaction being fulfilled in the spiritual realm by the shedding of His blood.

Because God is Holy and just, the wrath that we deserve could not go unnoticed. Through the perfect righteousness and justice of God’s character, it must be dealt with, it must be quenched, it must be satisfied.

For God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:23). This is why in Isaiah chapter 53, where it speaks of the coming Messiah and His soul being a sacrifice for our sins, why it says it pleased God to crush His only begotten Son.

This is because the wrath that we deserve was justified by being poured out upon His Son. If that wrath was poured out on us, we would all die and go to hell. God created a way of escape by pouring it out on His Son whose soul could not be left in Hades, but was raised to life on the third day and seated at the right hand of God in power.

So now when we put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14), God no longer sees the person who deserves His wrath, but rather the glorious image of His perfect Son dwelling in us, justifying us as if we received the wrath we deserve, making a way of escape from the curse of death.

Now what we must do is repent and put our trust and faith in the savior, confessing and forsaking our sins. This is not just a head knowledge of believing in Jesus, but rather receiving His words, taking them to heart, so that we may truly be transformed into the image of God. Where we no longer live to practice sin, but rather turn from our sins and practice righteousness through faith in Him.

Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again’” (John 3:5-7).

Come before the Lord with a contrite spirit, humble yourself, ask Him for His forgiveness, to receive the free gift of His salvation, to receive His Holy Spirit, so that you may be transformed into a new creature, into a child of the living God.

There is a reason why the words of Jesus have been translated in to over 2000 languages, and nothing comes remotely close (the Quran just over 100), because there is a God in heaven who desires to have a relationship with you, to know Him through His word, as that is how we personally get to know anybody. There is a reason why it is the year 2021, because Jesus came to earth just over 2000 years ago fulfilling major prophecy causing a divide in our timeline.

Jesus loves you! Seek Him while He may be found! We must repent and turn from practicing sin…for if we are not following Jesus, we are following the devil. There is no neutral ground. We are either living in the lie, or the truth. God bless you!

A lot of water has flown down the river in the past month or so. One of the strictest and harshest Corona virus lockdown, ruthlessly enforced by the police in India, is having a profound and deep impact on the people confined to the four walls of their existence.

Even a cursory glance across the street, at people peeping from their windows, venturing out to buy veggies or essentials if already not getting at their doorsteps, reveals a picture that is not only worrisome but scary. The Lockdown affect is telling on the people.

On the last day of the first leg of the lockdown, people from a peaceful, and well do to locality in Punjab’s Mohali district, started erecting barricades even though no case had been reported in more than 10 kilometer radius. Frightened unclejis from houses trickled around chatting about the bleak circumstances. The conclusion of the ‘janta rant’ was a blockade. From nowhere, two bamboos were being lugged across the road and tied across a fairly busy lane in Dhakoli.

What followed next was another barricade erected barely 15 meters apart in matter of minutes. Ironically, the residents had earlier blocked two lanes within 100 meters. Fortified, the residents then felt safe. But fact of the matter remained they themselves are crossing the laksman rekha to meet their daily needs.

Har Har Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while announcing the extension of the lockdown for yet another two weeks urged the people to strictly implement the lockdown. The carrot dangling from the PM’s address to the nation was that good behavior and rigorous implementation by the people would be rewarded by easing of lockdown restrictions if no cases were reported from their regions.

People had already danced to the Pied Piper’s tune by thalli-banging and lighting diyas. Discounting any political theory or how a master craftsman was playing to the gallery, the bottomline being that fear was injected into the minds of the people by the lockdown.  And an over active and vociferous media was adding fuel to the fire.

Socially unsocial

The only recourse available to the people to reach out to the world, the social media wasn’t helping either.

Immediately, after the lockdown was implemented there followed a series of videos of people being mercilessly thrashed by the police for venturing outside their homes.

Then followed posts of husbands grudgingly joining house-holds chores, non-availability of alcohol, social distancing guidelines.. But none to cheer up the masses. Perhaps the omnipresent anxiety was resulting in distressful behaviours of people.

Telling tales

A journalist admitted observing the change in people in her ‘society’ in Delhi. A friend in Ghaziabad relented that neighbours in his apartment block, otherwise a very social and amicable surrounding, were not even opening doors. Everyone was sort of becoming untouchable and unspeakable.

A relative in Mumbai admitted that the essential being supplied at their doorsteps. Since a case was reported from their society, leaving windows open was also being discouraged.

The situation was equally grim in a far off remote location of Arunachal Pradesh. People had stopped walking out. “It is very bad,” said a friend from Along district in Arunachal from where hundreds of kilometers there are nothing but jungle.

However, a Hyderabadi friend did admit people were venturing out from their houses for walks.

The Muslim divide

Overall, it appeared that gloom had engulfed the masses. And yes, the Tablighi Jamaat members had given a reason to the people to vent out their pent up frustrations in the depressing scenario. The Muslims, in general, were at the receiving end of peoples scorn.

“They are not adhering to the social distancing restrictions even now. Still they are holding Friday prayers in groups, on roofs and closed areas,” commented a friend from the Hindi heartland, where the social divide increases by each passing riot.

The spitting incidents being reported in the virus days were forcing localities to turn away Muslim vegetable vendors. “For the fault of one or two, all the muslims are facing trouble,” commented a vegetable vendor in West Delhi’s working class locality.

All is not lost

Everyone is suffering social and economic hardships. With little help from the government initially, the government was also waking up. Restrictions will be removed from April 20, depending the mindset of the king.

And as situation improves, the people will get to go on with their lives post the lockdown. The people will spring back to life. No matter how tough the road seems, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

The BRT corridor was one such scheme picked up Dilli’s good ol’ granny Sheila Dikshit. God bless her soul. The idea was to have special lanes for buses to enable citizens commute faster. In principle, the scheme has been working smoothly in Bogota, Colombia and few other cities of the world but for Delhi! Not getting into the specifics, it was a disaster for the megapolis. The scheme was so bad for Delhi that it had to be scrapped all together resulting in draining of Rs 100 crore in making BRT corridor plus Rs 25 crore in dismantling it.

In principle, even the Odd-Even scheme is good. It reduces traffic and results in pollution reduction. Depending on the geography of the city and timings of implementing in the scheme, it comes with a few riders.

Three years ago, one fine day, Delhi’s maverick chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, a byproduct of the Anna Anti-corruption Andolan, decided to implement the scheme. Without any supporting infrastructure, the scheme fell flat. Kejriwal faced the criticism and abuses heaped on him with élan. Nevertheless, the chief minister dared not implement the second part of the scheme in April 2017 with full force and staggered implementing the scheme subsequently. But now as elections are round the corner, to display to the electorate that he is a working CM, he threw in the well-timed scheme knowing fully well that post Diwali, Delhi is a gas chamber.

But post 2017, nothing in Delhi has changed substantially.  The traffic has got messier. The pollution scenario is equally grim. The city has not seen any effective change in public transport system barring a metro line or two. Essentially, things are the same. But what has changed is that people are using more car polling using social media platforms and/or are being forced to use the ineffective public transport system. What Kejriwal and his team have unable been to phantom is given the lateral geography of the city and that work places and business centres are so dispersed that it is not easy for many to meet their commuting requirements based on public transport alone. People use personal cars out of compulsions not out choice.

While in cities like Jakarta, Beijing, Paris or Mexico, the scheme works due to various factors, Delhi works on diverse matrix. In Jakarta, for instance, the odd-even scheme is implemented on specific roads/ areas and for limited timings with adequate alternate public transport, proper parking facilities, and people adhering to traffic norms.

Delhi struggles on many factors and the scheme is implemented in Delhi without proper alternatives. Many representations were made that challenged the implementation of the scheme in the national capital. CNG vehicles were not exempted from the scheme while two-wheelers were though they constitute two-third of total Delhi vehicles. The Delhi Government admitted that public transport in the city was not adequate to exempt two wheelers. Reply to a petition in Delhi High court, the state government said, “Public transport is not adequate at the moment to consider a ban on the two-wheelers.” However, female drivers were exempted.

Petitioners in court countered that the state government had spent crores of rupees on advertisements and promoted the scheme in the guise of curbing air pollution. The Supreme Court of India asked the Delhi government about its logic in implement the odd-even scheme without eliciting a satisfactory reply. 

People are upset on having to deal with half-baked scheme resulting in increased commuting timings. Citizens face difficulty in effectively meeting their daily travel requirements. Let us hope that changes in Delhi are implemented after adequate arrangements are made. By M K Tayal
