INTRODUCTION


Why I discovered blogging so very late surprises even me. I have been busy writing in other sites; it is time to put it one place that I can call my own. Hmm! I choose a blog because it is free. Why pay for a domain when you can have it for free and besides; Google is not poor. Blogging is one of many that helped build their company to what it is today; A USER FRIENDLY MONSTER! Love it...
I hope you find the content of this book amusingly compelling and…intellectually challenging at the same time.

WHY IS JESUS COMING BACK…?


I was creating a new cover for my eBooks that I plan to make changes in 2017 when I came up with this design that truly gave me Goosebumps. I have screamed in the last 26 years that Mecca is the New Jerusalem fulfilled but huh; I was a voice in the wilderness. Muslims have no idea of what New Jerusalem I was screaming about likewise; my Christian friends do not know what Mecca I am referring to. Until few days ago; my only source of the New Jerusalem was the book of revelation. I didn’t know that Prophet Ezekiel foretold of it and yes – it is also found in the “Dead Sea Scroll” referred to as the “Temple Scroll” meaning the coming of Islam (New Jerusalem) had been foretold by Ezekiel, in the Temple Scroll and in the book of revelation.

WHY IS THE COMING NEW JERUSALEM SO IMPORTANT…? It is the single most crucial sign of the end time because with it…Jesus’ second coming is almost certain to happen in our life time.

Christians believe that the New Jerusalem is God’s City that will come down from heaven. Since Muslims have no religious conception of the New Jerusalem; it matters not to them but imagine this…Christians turning to Mecca and accepting Islam! It will fulfill that Qur’an verse where people will enter Islam in droves and by legions. It is a sign of the end time because accordingly; no conversion at that point in time will be accepted by God meaning only the good deeds you have done before that will benefit you on judgment day.

If you are a Muslim…please Google image New Jerusalem and if you are a Christian; Google image Mecca and if you are unfamiliar with the New Jerusalem; please Google image New Jerusalem as well.

DARANGEN: The Abduction of Princess Lawanen

Although this piece of work is something I hold dear to my heart; I didn’t expect to see it distributed as an eBook.


Since I write for a hobby, I neither expect to see it in print nor envisioned monetary benefit from it however; the advent of eBook is heaven sent. It is doing what cable television and YouTube did to discarded old films that suddenly became a gold mine for collectors. Similarly, pieces of works gathering dust in the attics and dungeons can become best sellers in the cyber world of eBooks.  If you write for a hobby; it’s time to find those “best sellers never told”…so you thought with a giggle eons ago. It’s time for the sleeping dragons to roar in flames!

This is how it will look on your tablets and mobiles...



The following epic is strange as it is stunning. I could not imagine how my people got hold of such a work of genius. It is the World’s longest epic now that it has been translated into the English language. It takes a number of reciters to complete the epic in days of continuous singing monologue. All of the 17 episodes have now been translated.

When I did the following translation, I resisted the temptation of looking at earlier works because I did not want to be influenced by their use of language. I have to admit, I struggled with my own dialect. Like any other, classical Maranaw belongs to the ancients and I am no different from any in the present generation.

This translation is the first ever attempt to write the epic in a story form. If there are other works in the past of the same format, I am not aware of it.





This is how easy to buy an eBook or anything from amazon unfortunately, it is not available in the Saudi Arabia.
1.)    Go to amazon.com and create an account
2.)    Amazon will ask you to link your mode of payment with your credit card or debit (ATM) card – Visa or Master Card
3.)    Download kindle reader in your tablet or smart phone or laptop
4.)    Search for the eBook you want to buy from the amazon search box
5.)    Log in to your kindle with your amazon acct to open/access your eBook

LIFE AFTER DEATH

...you can read this eBook for free on amazon.com kindle


This book is now available both in Kindle edition (eBook) and paperback from amazon.com. Since I have not spent a single cent for these books; I get a very little amount of royalties. My goal is to get the messages across to as many audiences as possible. Except the Middle East; Amazon will mail to you the book if you buy it online from the amazon.com store. 





Introduction

This is the first book I wrote. “Apocalypse Countdown 666” was published in 2000 by Janus Publishing Co., London and for quite sometimes; it was available at Amazon although if you search it now – Amazon lists it as unavailable.

Thanks to the advances in technology because with it; aspiring writers who do not have the means to see their books in print can turn them into an eBook free and in hours not in months or years that it takes to see a book in print. With so many picture editing websites on the net; I designed and created my own cover.
After reviewing the edit; I realized that only about 50% of the original is left – I might as well call it my third book. I changed the title too.

If you think the movie “Ghost” was a fiction; think again. This story happened in 1993 among the Filipino community in a town niched in the Southwest Mountains of Saudi Arabia, the kingdom’s last frontier.

The reason why the dead man returned will shock you, shock you beyond words. It will break your heart and if you are an unbeliever; it will leave you wondering if there is after all, Life after death.
When in 1990, I discovered the Beast 666 leading to the battle for Babylon that is still raging to this day; my life changed in more ways than I realized. Bigger portion of this book is a fascinating story of my own existence, an updated autobiography.

In 1994, I also discovered the New Jerusalem meaning Jesus’ second coming could be imminent but there is a catch: if time travel is not possible, the second coming will remain to be a myth that will never happen.

Believe it or not; time travel is no fiction. Jesus is coming and with him are many other time traveling prophets in the company of legions from the planet of the gardens of Eden (Revelation 19: - soldiers from heaven).

I honestly believe that humankind is not indigenous to planet Earth? If ever aliens come to planet Earth…again, they will be from the planet of the Gardens of Eden. They know where we are and they know exactly how to get here.

BEYOND 666 - my 2nd but first eBook

Barely 12 hours after I submitted the manuscript; Amazon had it converted to an eBook and informed me that it is now available live for purchase at the Kindle bookstore. I was excited, I wanted to be the first to buy my 2nd but first eBook but I couldn’t find it at the Amazon.com. Beyond 666 is not listed. Whenever I typed my name as an alternative search – my other book appeared. Huh! What happened so after an hour of searching, I sent an email to Amazon and I was informed – It is not available in Saudi Arabia/Middle East. It is only available in USA, Europe (Italy, France, Ireland, and UK), Brazil, Japan, India and Australia. If you are in these countries…it will cost you only 1.99 dollars and Kindle enabled it to be shared with your friends for 2 weeks.


WHY READ THIS BOOK?

We have never been so close to Armageddon as we are now and whether Hillary gets elected or not; the tracks she left behind as a secretary of state are irreversible littered with dead bodies and smouldering ruins of Muslim nations – Afghanistan, Gaza/Palestine, Iraq, Libya and Syria. She fulfilled the woman of Revelation 17 meaning we are left with only 5 of the 22 chapters of the book of revelation. I have been screaming in the last 26 years beginning with the birth of the BEAST 666 on September 13, 1990 but I am a Muslim crying wolf. Who will listen to me but now maybe some of you would. The Nostradamus 27 year destructive battle for Babylon/Mesopotamia that began with the birth of the Beast 666 is still raging. It is now on its 27th year. The 27th birth anniversary of the Beast 666 is on September 13, 2017. If you have no idea of what UN Resolution 666 was; Google it and tell me that I am wrong. 

...you can read this eBook for free at amazon.com kindle




I designed the cover with piZap but it wouldn’t fit the Kindle preset cover so I was forced to accept the other design. 





INTRODUCTION 

After 20 years and 3 months; I left Saudi Arabia in 2000 of what I honestly believed to be final but during my first night home in Manila – I dreamt I was back in my town.
Things did not turn out okay for me. In order to keep my children enrolled in college; I was forced in 2005 to return to Saudi Arabia in the same town where I spent more than 20 years. I was hired to work as a GP by a family I knew who owns the only private clinic in town.
I dreamt of World War 3 - 3times separated by weeks in the early months of my return. Although my dreams of the future never fail (astral journeys in time); I ignored it. The world seemed at the time a little bit at peace except for Afghanistan and Iraq. When 10 years after, bombs start to fall in my sleepy town something I never thought would ever happen – I remembered my dream because one of the three is fulfilled. Our town is 15 km away from the Yemen border where war is raging and Saudi Arabia is a leading war participant.
Few weeks ago; I was watching an end time Bible prophetic video on You Tube. Part of that were the 2 mystery women of Revelation 12 and 17. It suddenly dawned on me who they are. The woman of Revelation 12 who wears many crowns on her head is Queen Elizabeth of England, Empress of the British Empire and the woman of Revelation 17 is…OMG – she is about to be elected president of the United States of America. Even if Hillary doesn’t get elected; the tracks she left behind as a secretary of state are littered with the macabre piles of dead bodies and the smoldering ruins of destroyed Muslim nations (Gaza /Palestine, Afghanistan, Beast returns to Babylon/Iraq, Libya and Syria) not to mention the millions running for their lives braving the seas towards Europe.
When U.N. Resolution 666 was passed on September 13, 1990; my hands were virtually shaking while reading Saudi Arabia’s English daily. I inquired from the Indian Christians in the hospital where I could find the number of the beast in the Bible. I have actually read the 4 gospels of the Bible but not the book of revelation. I ended up borrowing a Bible from one of the nurses. If reading the number of the beast in the papers gave me the creeps…reading it in the bible kept my hairs standing on edge. I thought discovering the beast 666 was big but there was something even bigger. I also discovered – THE NEW JERUSALEM.
The discovery gave me sleepless nights. I kept turning in bed at night and I didn’t know why except that it keeps on playing in my mind. The weeks turned to months. It eventually forced me to write “Apocalypse Countdown 666” if only to keep the beast off my back so to speak and yea; I am not a professional writer. Writing is just a hobby. With a portable typewriter and under candlelight’s, I typed to the wee hours of the morning while working at the Primary Health Care Centers in the mountains of Saudi Arabia. If there was social media then; I would not have spent a fortune to get it published. I didn’t get back all my investment but it boosted my confidence especially when You Tube and the social media became a hit.
Similarly; when I discovered the women of revelation 12 and 17 – I had sleepless nights because Armageddon is so close my screams in the last 26 years may finally be heard. Christians interpreting the Bible always refers to Jesus as the child the woman of revelation 12 was/is pregnant with that got them lost in the interpretation. The woman of Revelation 12 is Queen Elizabeth of England – Empress of the British Empire. The child is in fact the state of Israel and the dragons waiting to devour the child are the surrounding Arab countries. It was the British Empire that gave birth to the state of Israel from the Balfour declaration of 1917 to 1948 when the United Nations partitioned Palestine that created the state of Israel at a time when Palestine was under the British Mandate. The Queen – Empress of the British Empire gave birth to the state of Israel and the dragons of the Middle East have been trying to devour the child ever since.
Trump promised Netanyahu and the Jewish Lobby that if he wins, he will transfer the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. With his anti-Muslim rhetoric; it is almost certain that he will buckle under pressure from Israel to pay a political debt and give the green light to bomb Iran.
I had to go over my old files to find the Revelation of wrecking angels of death that is yet to be fulfilled and I found it – Revelation 9: 13-15. Four (4) nuclear bombs will be detonated in the Middle East and Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) saw in a vision the places where the explosions will occur – Hijjas (Mecca), Yemen and Syria and of course Babylon (Iraq) according to revelation. It may be too late now to abort Armageddon but hey; if we can find the secret lab under the river Euphrates – we may stop it but who is going to listen? People in authority are mostly irreligious people who do not believe these things; no wonder they slaughter millions of people without a twinge of guilt.
“…the four angels of death bound by the great river Euphrates to slay third of men – Revelation 9: 13-15.” There was rumor in the early days of the Gulf war that Saddam has secret bunkers deep beneath the river Euphrates to evade spy satellites. Don’t forget…commanding the ISIS (or ISIL) are former generals and military officers of Saddam’s Republican Guard.
The Nostradamus 27 year war (The Battle for Babylon) has just entered its 27th year believe it or not. The 27th birth anniversary of the BEAST 666 is September 13, 2017. The nuclear detonations in the Middle East will trigger Armageddon – the battle between the forces of good and evil. It is in this battle that will bring back Jesus and probably other time traveling prophets. It is here where the Nostradamus prophecies will be fulfilled. Jesus according to the Nostradamus prophecies will unite the Muslims of Asia and Africa and waylay Europe to wasteland.
“The long awaited one will never come into Europe;
Instead he will appear in Asia.
One issued from the great leagues of Hermes;
He will dominate over all the rulers of the orient.”
Nostradamus X.75

Nostradamus, Islam and the Book of Revelation: PROPHETIC CONVERGENCE



It boggles the mind how legions of Christian evangelists and Christian End Time watchers continue to keep looking in the wrong direction. They are still waiting for the Beast 666 and the wrecking angels of death most if not all have already been fulfilled in the last 26 years of war in Babylon except this one:

Revelation 9:

13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.



Obviously; either terrorists or legitimate governments will detonate not one but four (4) nuclear bombs in the region. 




It’s really creepy, my skin crawled because the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) identified where these nuclear explosions will occur:

1) A bright light will come from Hijjas (Mecca) that will illuminate the neck of the camel in Busra (50km away).

2) A fire will come from Yemen that will drive people to the sea.

3) A gentle breeze will come from the direction of Syria that will take the life of every believer in a way that even if you can hide inside a mountain (bunker/tunnels), death will come and take you.

I realized now that the 260 of the 1000 Nostradamus’ prophecies that deals with the M.E./Europe destructive war is post-nuclear apocalypses meaning the nuclear explosions will trigger ARMAGEDDON that will truly pit the forces of good against the forces of evil.

Because of the chaos; a rock headed towards earth will be unnoticed that will smash earth…THE END?

NOSTRADAMUS


“A great spherical mountain about one mile in diameter,
When peace gives way to war, famine and flooding,
Will roll end over end, then sink great nations,
Many of ancient origin; of great age.”

HILLARY, NOSTRADAMUS, TRUMP AND THE BOOK OF REVELATION

If you Google search or search on YouTube the “Woman and the Beast” of Revelation 17; you will find varied guesses most if not all of it bordering on fantasy. Whether Hillary gets elected or not; her role in the world as a secretary of state already fulfilled the prophecy of the woman of Revelation 17. We should be afraid – very afraid because with this; only 5 of the 22 chapters of revelation will remain unfulfilled. Chapter 21 refers to the coming of the New Jerusalem and the last chapter 22 to the second coming. The real shocker is chapter 18, 19 and 20 – the final battle of Armageddon.


The Bible’s book of revelation while reading it and I did several times; I had this feeling that this is a plain and simple prophetic dream by an astral time traveller. It would have been very easy to understand if the writers of the Bible didn’t rewrite it to become a religious book. This is the reason why the Beast 666’s birth on September 13, 1990 passed unnoticed except by me – LOL! It changed my interest in life.

Why be very afraid…?

The war according to the Nostradamus prophecies will last 7 and 20 years meaning 27 years. From the birth of the Beast 666 that marked the countdown to the final and absolute annihilation of Babylon (Iraq) – the 27th anniversary of its birth will be September 13, 2017. The good news is; the book of revelation is a prophecy for Babylon. There is no end of the world, at least not yet, not in this war. It is the end of Babylon but the writers of the Bible made it look like Babylon is the world. There is no other Babylon on the face of the earth other than the Biblical Babylon which is now Iraq whose destruction continue unabated to this day; 26 years hence.
We all know that Hilary is an Israel’s lover or as the Bible correctly describes her – a political whore, a political fornicator for power but all big-time politicians are; without exception. As secretary of state; what Israel wants – Israel gets.

The battle for Babylon has been raging for the last 26 years that saw the almost total destruction of 5 Muslim nations, the hanging of Saddam who called himself Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, the murder of Khadafy, the birth of the ISIS – Islam’s version of the anti-Christ, the raging horrific war in Syria and Yemen.

Trump promised Netanyahu and the Jewish lobby that if he wins; he will move the US embassy to Jerusalem. With his anti-Muslim rhetoric; he will almost certainly buckle under pressure from Israel to pay a political debt and give the green light – God forbids ‘to bomb’ Iran and as a consequence; someone will detonate not one but 4 nuclear device that will render Babylon (Iraq) and Syria inhabitable for a very long time.
Jeremiah:

I will stir up and bring against Babylon an alliance of great nations from the land of the north [Europe]. Their arrows will be like great skilled warriors (Tomahawks computer and laser Guided Missiles).     At the sound of Babylon’s capture, the earth will tremble; its cry will resound among the nations.
Isaiah:

God will overthrow Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the glory of the Babylonians pride. She will never be inhabited or lived in through all generations; no Arab will pitch his tent there, no shepherd will rest his flock there.

Daniels:

There will be a time of distress such as not from the beginning of nations until then. Multitude who sleeps in the dust of the earth [desert] will wake up: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.

Revelation 18.17

For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

18.18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, what city is like unto this great city!

The Gulf Oil fields will be irradiated unusable for 50 years that will bring the industrialized world to its knees. The world as we know it will come to an end but not the physical annihilation of us and the planet. Donkeys and other beasts of burden will become priced commodities again.

The 22 billion dollars massive reconstruction of the New Jerusalem (Mecca) will be completed in 2020 (Rev 21).

Jesus will return (Rev 22) and not many people will notice like the birth of the Beast 666. According to the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.): “Jesus will come, break crosses, have a family and live with us for 40 years upon which he will pass away and be buried in Medina” meaning there is no end of the world the way writers of the Bible described it in the book of revelation.

Jesus in the second coming will be perceived by Christians as the anti-Christ and according to Nostradamus; he will unite the Muslims of Asia and Africa.

Nostradamus X.75
“The long awaited one will never come into Europe;
Instead he will appear in Asia.
One issued from the great leagues of Hermes;
He will dominate over all the rulers of the orient.”


Had Nostradamus mentioned the name of Jesus – he would have been lynched and burned at the stake by the church’s inquisitors and his prophecies would have never seen the light of day.

Note: The Beast 666 (U.N.) is an insignificant beast subservient to the Red Dragon (U.S.A.) that gives it power; provides it with a home (N.Y.) and money.

WHAT NEXT AFTER NOVEMBER 2016 – Jesus’ second coming?

From the day the Beast 666 was born on September 13, 1990; I read and reread from time to time the Book of Revelation. I watched Christian’s You Tube prophetic documentary movies when I have nothing better to do. In the process, I discovered the Beast 666 (U.N.), the Red Dragon (U.S.A.) that gives powers unto the Beast 666 and the second Beast (NATO). I also discovered the New Jerusalem but the women of Rev 12 and 17 remained a riddle. Last night while I was watching a 1 hour Christian’s prophetic documentary movie; there were scenes that shook me out of my wit. I replayed back the movie and took screenshots of the scenes. You be the judge…

I have no iota of doubt that the woman with crowns over her head with 12 stars is Queen Elizabeth of England – Queen of the British Empire; MOTHER OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL. 



Few clicks in Google will bring you to the 1) Balfour Declaration of 1917 2) The British mandate in Palestine and 3) the founding of Israel in 1948.

The woman in Revelation 17 riding over the Beast 666 (U.N.) is about to be fulfilled in November when the Beast of Empires (USA) vote for a woman president.




What is next after the fulfillment of Revelation 17 – Jesus’ second coming in 2020? 

If you want to know why 2020; ask and I will tell you.

THE VEIL – my strange dreams at the end of Ramadan

(Don’t stop reading…)

THE DREAM: scene 1

I was in a huge building with maze-like hallways. I was lost; I exited through a gate that leads to a forest. The trail in the forest seems to be leading to nowhere until I run into a half-naked man (my spirit guide) bending along the path. I asked if it is the right path but he ignored me so I turned back. My spirit guide was behind me as I took another path. We (I mean my spirit guide and I) were clawing our way to a slope in the forest amidst a meshwork of overgrown tree roots (imagine a giant mangrove tree with all the roots above ground). I heard my spirit guide said ‘snake’ at my left foot so instinctively; I snapped with my right foot whatever was there at my left foot. I woke up. With a sigh of relief; I said – thanks, it’s only a dream but then; trees don’t pop into my windows and plants don’t grow from my lights so I thought; this is not my room and I woke up again meaning I woke up twice from a two layered dreams.

(Few days back; I watched from my Netflix the movie “Inception.” It was the 3rd time I watched it and only then did I understand what the movie was all about. They tried to create a 3 layered dream – a dream in a dream in a dream.)

From the nearby mosque; the morning call to prayer was blaring from the sound system. I got to my feet, did ablution and performed my dawn (Fajr) prayer.
I must have fallen asleep as soon as I returned to bed because I was immediately back to my dream world.

THE DREAM: scene 2

I was in an unfamiliar place with unremarkable houses. I flagged down a jeep (…to my surprise, the driver was a Maranaw and with him were two relative women passengers). I asked if he is going to Pasig (I have no idea why Pasig) and he said, no but I can drop you where you can get a ride to where you are going.

THE DREAM: scene 3

He dropped me in front of a house and pointed down the street where I can get another ride.
There was a small store in the house (travel back in time – our garage house) and in front was a rectangular table in the open where 3-4 men were sitting sipping soft drinks. I joined them although I knew neither of the men. A man came out a door from the extreme side and one of the men asked what happened and he said; we talked about marriage.

THE DREAM: scene 4 – a journey back in time

I walked down the street to find the bus terminal. (Travel back in time – I used to do this when I was young selling px chewing gums, peanuts and cigarettes)


The buses looked like rectangular coaches with the long seats arranged in the old fashion way (travel back in time). If you are over 50 years of age; you probably rode in one of these buses.
Inside the bus were my aunt (deceased) and a female cousin. There were other passengers. My aunt handed me money to pay for our fare. I felt embarrassed that I already paid for my fare but I didn’t have enough to pay for the 3 of us. She was telling me that her son (also deceased) have not changed his ways.  

THE DREAM: scene 5 – questions of faith. (If this dream did not come to me at the end of Ramdan – a holy of holies in Islam; I would not blog it. I don’t want to influence what people believe in.)
I feel that I was still inside the bus with my spirit guide sitting on my side (and by the way; spirit guides more often than not are shadow-like. Often times, you just feel their presence.). There were young passengers asking me questions.

Question 1: Is it absolutely necessary for women to wear the Nikab or veil? (Strange, this is a topic I have not discussed with anyone for a very long time)

Answer: I will tell you the story of how the veil came to be, I started. The prophet’s wives were not originally wearing the veil but as Islam expanded, multitudes came to the prophet’s house. There were tribes in the Arabian Peninsula that were traditionally wearing the veil. Those tribes requested from the prophet if he can ask his wives to wear the veil when they are visiting. The prophet’s initial response was to put curtains to isolate his wives from view but this was not enough to the tribes. The prophet was in a dilemma until the angel Gabriel came with a message from God (forgot the number of the Qur’an verse). It is alright to let his wives wear the veil but (this is an important “but”) – they should remove their veil when they are in the vicinity of the scared house. (God unbounded by space and time knew that time will come when millions will be performing the hajj. It will be extremely uncomfortable and dangerous for women to be wearing the veil.)



But that is not the true story of the veil…I continued. In the olden times and I think this is not unique to the Arabs; clans and tribes were endlessly engaged in wars. Clans and tribes veiled their women to conceal their identity when shepherding in the valleys, hills and mountains. That was the sole purpose of the veil…to conceal the women’s identity from rival/enemy clans and tribes until it became a tradition with the real meaning lost in the carcasses of time.

Question 2: how about women’s circumcision in Islam? (This is another strange question I have not talked about since how long – I cannot remember)

…I said; don’t do it (followed by laughter). It is a tradition by some African tribes that has nothing to do with Islam. Africa just happened to be a Muslim continent and it is now considered mutilation by western nations meaning if you are living in the west; women circumcision is unlawful and you can be in jail. (The explosion of laughter woke me up.)

(I spent another half hour awake turning in bed deciding whether to blog or not to blog. There was another element in the dream where I traveled so far back in time I’ll rather keep it to myself. There is a meaning to every element of the dream; I will eventually figure it out – Insha Allah.)
