2012 ~ The Day and Hour Unknown

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Matthew 24:36)

16112009~ Well, today i watched 2012. i wasn't so fond of it, because i know it isn't true. However, my buddies succeeded in persuading to go watch it. OK, here it is.

If one would just to go and watch for fun (depending one's interpretation of fun), it's a 4 out of 5 stars. The CGI effects are very good, it looks real enough. Then we have the exhilarating parts. For me it is where the characters take off from a crumbling airstrip (thrice!, no?), and watching the whole world falling into itself... Call me cold-blooded if you want, but i enjoy those scenes the most...

There's one thing (or two) that i learnt from this movie. Humanity shows in time of great trouble. In dire times, there are only two types of humans: the selfish, and the humans. As humans we should look after each other, care for each other, and 'save' (only Jesus saves, we just spread the word) others. Also, i learned that always treasure and cherish the moments with our loved ones, family, friends, and our love(r)...

But as for the 'truth' of the film, it will not happen in 21st December 2012, it could happen anytime before and after that date. Why? It is simple, no one can predict the End. In Biblical sense, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Matthew 24:36). Logically, if humans could predict the End, why couldn't we predict earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc...? Accurately.

Think about it.

"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." (Matthew 24:42- 44)

7 Levels of Human Relationship

"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." (Proverbs 17:17)

02112009

1. Strangers
2. Acquaintance
3. Common friends
4. Special/Close friend(s)
5. Courtship
6. Engagement
7. Marriage

Strangers- People you don't know at all... E.g. The poor child in Africa. Worldwide

Acquaintance- People you've met and had conversed before. Name (especially), occupation,and other particulars are known. Local

Common friends- People which are rather close, where the likes and dislikes, personalities, habits, and some other details are known. People we interact closer with on a regular basis. Topics shared are usually facts and general opinions, less likely of heart-to-heart talk. Closed group.

Special/Close friends- Friends of closer relationship than common friends. Friends where interaction is relatively frequent. Conversations can last a lot longer, and more heart-to-heart talk is involved. Commonly secrets are revealed, to a certain extent, advice are sought after, and problems are shared...Very close relationship, sometimes could be mistaken as a couple (if and only if both are of opposite gender). Closed circle

Courtship- The next level after 'Special/Close friendships'. Only between two opposite genders. Very very close relationship. The level of discovering and developing. Discovering the inner side of a person, good and bad, attitudes, behaviours, hidden personalities, habits, and suitability (maybe more). Developing the relationship, affection, emotional and mental feeling. Only for opposite genders. One at a time

Engagement- The state of confirmation, ready to start a family. Can be skipped, but not recommended. Affirmation of pre-marital status of each other. Only for opposite genders. Only one

Marriage- The holy union of two lives. The start of a family. The confirmation and affirmation of each other in both lives. United in all aspects, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. The process of discovering and developing still continues. For the Glory of GOD, edification of the spouses, and as a blessing to others. Only for opposite genders. Divorce not an option (with the exception of life-threatening cases) One and only one.

*Adapted from Pastor Clement...

"A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. " (Proverbs 18:24)
