PARENTING
By E.S. JOHN AUSTRALIA

The parenting that meant for replenishing the earth is the only agenda of our life on earth during our post- fallen journey. Man is created to fill the vacancies of the fallen legion that was evicted from this earth on account of their rebellion against the Almighty. Ideal parenting here is the only source for God to replenish the vacant positions of New Jerusalem, where we worship the Lord in Eternity, after God executing His judgement on mankind. Terrestrial time is an offshoot of Heaven’s timelessness that is a silent witness of abiding with the Lamb who bought our Eternity with a high price. It is a reciprocative duty of man to buy enough rich souls who are to be exported into the Holy Land of timelessness for worshipping that is to be trained in this short life. To procreate enough clergy that serve as agents of God is the true mission of this life. The process of procreation and its subsequent roles that involve the high tension duty of purchasing souls from God and return to Him in 24 carat gold, so that the name of the Eternal God could be extolled in perpetuity as once the disgraced ones used to do before their fall, is a life- consuming role.

Entrusting us with the fresh souls for caring is a responsibility that provides the bonus of nuptial pleasure also brings the sweet company of the young ones, a thing of beauty and joy forever. The mantle of the wicked servant who hid his Master’s talent under the earth will fall upon us if we won’t trade it zealously for the Lord who comes back to collect them. Children are God’s talents that are to be returned to Him in superlative carat gold. It is likely that we have to stand tribe by tribe and clan by clan while the Son of Man judge the world. Emptying all His Heavenly positions, Phi.2: 1-10, Jesus came down to this soul-consuming world to certify the pang of the flesh that grabs God’s handicraft for the dark forces of the underworld. He tasted the fruits of the sufferings, and witnessed the gruesome agony of His innocent parents and the herald, John the Baptist, and many others who followed in His light. “The world was not worthy for them”, Heb.11: 38. We are also expected to carry the yoke of sufferings for our children, just as the Baptist and Jesus’ parents drank the poisoned chalice for the glory of God.

We have a procession of such parents like Abraham and Sarah, Manoha and his wife, Elkanah and Hannah, Martha Smuni and Yuyakkim and Hannah. They all carried their own daily crosses to supply us with Isaac, Samson, Samuel, Smuni’s children and st.Mary. We also came into this world with the same promise of begetting such children for serving the Lord here and hereafter. Good children are born only to such warlords who always worship and work for the Creator. “Sons are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the sons of one’s youth”, Ps.127. “Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of sons is their fathers, Pro.16: 6. But if it goes wrong, it becomes a perennial problem like a contaminated egg that is full of life energy. (Eccle.6: 3] If a man begets a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but he does not enjoy life's good things, and also has no burial, I say that an untimely birth is better off than he. [4] For it comes into vanity and goes into darkness, and in darkness its name is covered; [5] moreover it has not seen the sun or known anything; yet it finds rest rather than he. [6] Even though he should live a thousand years twice told, yet enjoy no good -- do not all go to the one place? This sort of experience that God confronted was an ill-omen for the Israelites who perished miserably during the later years after the crucifixion.

If we are the children of God, we are the heirs of God and Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him, Rom.8: 16-17. But listen to a lamenting God. Is.1: [2] Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the LORD has spoken: "Sons have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against me.[3] The ox knows its owner, and the ass its master's crib; but Israel does not know, my people does not understand." [4] Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the LORD, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged. [5] Why will you still be smitten, that you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. [6] From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and bleeding wounds…” We don’t have to teach anything to our children because they are intelligent enough to learn our relationship to our Creator, provided we worship God in righteous ways. This is a simple formula. If A=B and B=C, A=C. The God-fearing people always will say, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord.

Honour your father and mother, that it may well with you and that you may live long on earth. Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instructions of the Lord”, Eph.6: 1-4. Children only will love and obey their parents and respect others only if their father and mother love, respect and obey each other. As Christ is the head of the church, the husband is the head of the family. Hence wife’s respect to her husband that is self-generated is symbolically significant and true and procreating. The ideal husband -wife or father- mother relationship in Christ is the vital tonic for their children’s nurture and growth. Wherever this sacred affinity of a virtuous family life is lost, the only breeding ground for children, who become addle-eggs that beget a dysfunctional family, is the net result. Despite a half-starving economy kept the values by physical and mental agonies in the past, the fossil economy that broke the fence of a disciplined chaste life, of course with occasional hiccups, has converted the simple natural life climate to a sophisticated alien culture that doesn’t know the beginning of a culture which maintained a virtuous religious and moral system that which balanced our social intercourse. Just like the church is holy, our body that is indwelt by the Holy Spirit is also holy, 1.Cor.3&6. The nude culture of sex that perverted our life is the mother of all our failures that invite severe punishment from above, as once it happened to our first parents at the start of their life in Eden.

Features of a sophisticated life:
The superlative qualities of life are more worth than life itself. The science and technology that unearthed a banal culture of human alienation play an important part in translating the bygone life of naturalness to a bionic life style of promiscuities, the generator of stereotypes of sophistications. Sex impulse that permeates in all our body system is the mother of all the dilapidations that have ripened the modern life as an equal partner of diabolical order. The congenital maladies that produced morons and moral imbeciles who are devoid of spiritual or moral vibrations played an accomplice’s role in changing our lifestyle that has become a synonym of inferno. Dating is the nurse of all sexual and resultant maladies that dictate terms to the once God’s species. It converted the sacrament of marriage as a savage thug that predated upon all our cherished values to be obliterated by changing the secular and religious code of ethics. The chorus that played for the so-called freedom that crash landed in to the terrain of modern pandemonium is science and technology which budded into financial affluence and social upheavals, mongering for a high-flying life equipped with the Privacy Act of lax freedom which lavish in the passions of the flesh. Together with came the leviathan techniques of birth control and invitro- fertilization by sexual spare parts and drugs, both medicinal and hard ones, that precipitated a climate of sex profligacy and abortion, ‘the most unkindest’ type of human slaughter sponsored by the mother of mankind.

One should realize that the battleground for all such acrobatics is our delicate body, the Temple of God, that are not geared to cope with all our fluctuating moods of genetic paraphernalia. Any form of genetic engineering that rebel against the celestial authority is suicidal. The children born under such unnatural methods are automatically meant for a dysfunctional set up, just like the generations of savages, Gen.6, who pushed for a global devastation of Noah’s age, the prologue that trigger for an epilogue of a fiery baptism of the globe at the culmination of time.

Today’s lifestyle of the new species:
It has become impossible for yesterday’s man to cope with the whimsicalities and banalities for the latest edition of his species because there is an unbridgeable gulf, generation gap that caused by financial security and a three-tier cultural norms, that separates them forever. One was God’s products of natural species; the other one is the incubator of science and technology that doesn’t often have a clue to reconcile with the old order. “Knowledge shall increase”, Dan.12: 4, is a clear-cut sign given by the angel to Prophet Daniel who revealed to the world that one day the earth and its glory will vanish away due to its ageing that is accelerated by our criminal misdoings, Is.24. The new sex life that begets so many congenital problems paved the way for genetic engineering and further exasperated the quality of our life to its nadir due to moral and social depravities. As sex is the parent of our visible life, the sex perversions that accelerated for the closing down ceremony of this aeon has dawned all of a sudden to write off our existence in this planet for ever. Dating, the mother of all evils, turned everything upside down to unleash the profligacy of all types that are wriggled together for triggering our consternation. The legalization of dating, divorce, defacto relationship and all other promiscuities in a mass scale has cut the root of our sanctimonious bygone life, sending shockwaves to all our seen and unseen fluctuations of our interactions. The family life that nurture all the qualities of life has become a poisoned chalice, a club life that propel the vanities of life has become our refuge which is aided and girded by the heartless contributions of science and technology. A family that prays together stick together has become a dead past, precipitating a life culture that whets only the lust of life in its nude varieties. As and when self-betraying, blind secular politics and irreligious religion go hand in hand, the obituary of a qualitative lifestyle is the final outcome.

Drugs and hard drugs:
Any drug, particularly the Allopathic ones, that derails body metabolism will have simultaneous side effects that further complicate our delicate system for its degeneration. Taking such medicines and hard drugs, smoking, drinking and many other profligate lifestyles during pregnancy deform the embryo/progeny and the pre-natal and post-natal period, making a condition of moral paraplegic of the new born. Abortion that adulterate the mother’s condition cripple her physically and mentally is another chapter that is to be reviewed for charging the mother as an accomplice of homicides or manslaughters of a gruesome nature. Those who remain as unwedded mothers and their partners are signing the death warrant of a natural life of God-fearing and virtuous lifestyle. The club-life of barbarian magnitude is another version of aborting our moral life that has been converted as a segment of carnivorous animal edition.

Baby sitting:
Even the animal world looks after its own young ones till they are able to look after themselves. The denial of breast feeding that is a prime duty of mammals is denied only to the human species of modernity, and is a vicious crime because that is the one that weave the infant to spin its own destiny for a full natural life. Just as the complementing lifestyle of parents in all the vistas of life is the cradle of children’s mental, physical and moral development to its heights, the proximity life patterns by the parents with the young ones is the nursery of children’ maturity. We throw away our totally-depending young ones to their own destiny in the baby-sitting places, even also during the nocturnal hours for the sake of the parents’ satisfaction of bestial passions, because of the work life that brings money and pleasures of modernity that dispels later as a mirage, harvesting later in life the naked realities of our blunders and failures that we did without giving any heed of the imbedded warnings that are imprinted in our system. We can’t blame anybody for this holocaust as our life may become barren and frigid on account of the demands of self-consuming and enticing tentacles of a cosmetic web of life that cut our roots. The toy world that is an animal impersonating kingdom in which the babies are ‘cultured’ is a rehearsal of the welcoming of the infernal Beast that is going to predate upon us at any time. Together with come the detriments of a culture that is addicted to T.V., video and DVD metamorphosis that is a recipe for alienating the young ones from the vicinity of parents and Church and spiritual breathing. It is God who has to get the impact of this bombastic and bombarding culture that denies fairness to the Creator and all His blessings. It is the human tendency to be more in commune with the enemy rather than with our own kindred ones. Any evil thing is a betrayal of propriety that becomes an inherent enemy by the antithesis of our existence. It is an inherent and contradicting vibration in our system of nurturing children against parents: father against mother, wife against husband, employee against employer and establishments against their own subjects. This weakness is cultivated and tested by the blind secular and religious hierarchy, a pernicious symptom of the apocalyptic age that works in favour of the emerging Beast that has to plunder over all what is Godly and ethical which work for the glory of the Creator.

Educational Institutions:
‘To know thyself’ has been the aim of education so far. If one wants to know oneself, he has to know first of all his Creator who weaved and spun him out of nothing. The aim of modern education that thirsts for cultivating the wish of the Creator’s adversary seems to be the predominance of sharpening a pleasure life of surface paradise. The modern music that is in contravention against the classical music which extols the glorification of God, keerthanangal, is nothing but the praise of God’s enemy, Lucifer, who used to glorify God in continuity and fell to the abysmal darkness, owing to the rebellion against the Almighty. This unseen war that converts our own mind as the battlefield between God and the Devil is the hidden drama in which one and all are the protagonists, knowingly or unknowingly, in perpetuity. The educational institutions that sing glory in favour of God’s foe has preyed upon the theological and religious temples that has become a new brand of theocracy of the doomsday culture. God has become an alien in our temples of learning, also partly in the temples of worship. The family has lost the flavour of religiousness long before the dawn of a recalcitrant religion of sex, sports and the high-flying hyperbolic life of technology that shredded everything into pieces. Even if there is a touch of mysticism or spirituality, it tends to be an amalgam of paganism that revels in the lust of the cat walk culture. Technical education cannot implant values that nourish our everyday life. When legal-mindedness that is a part of logic that cannot sustain spirituality or morality become the way of our life, a stereotype of animal mode, the intrinsic qualities of religion and morality that draw a distinction between man and animal are automatically vanishes from the elemental simplicities from our day to day transactions with other fellow beings. While legal-mindedness is only an impassive observer, morality that is based on spiritual yearning is the one that work as a foot soldier in balancing the social idiosyncrasies.

Science and technology:
That which is technical has no correlation or comparison with the core values of spiritual life that sustain the qualities of our transient existence. While the former is centered on the brain, the latter is the unseen heart that is the fullness and perfection of everything. The high-tech lifestyle that bulldozed the superlative natural quality of our inner rhythm and resonance is a curse for the humanity that struggles to wade through the apocalyptic symptoms of suicide. Both science and technology are good servants for a deluxe earthly life, provided they serve as slaves to our natural inner yearning. We can harvest an angelic life here because of the revelling exposition of a superlative way of life that goes in tune with the celestial mode of conquering distances and sounds and communication facilities. The more we try to subjugate time that is nil in Heaven, the more our tendency is to identify a life of the Devil whose throne is in hell. The carnage of remote control killings and exploitations that enthrals our brutality is the fruits of science and technology. The terrorisms of many kinds, weapons of mass destructions and slaughtering that thrive by the new infernal inventions which multiply our woes and distress recall us that we are not far away from a devastating finish.

Effects of Technology:
The main reason for making the modern, epicure human animal is because of the inventions of radio, T.V., video, that nourish cheap entertainments to our physical senses, making the sacred sexuality that is meant for propagating the race as the god of everything. Anything erotic that drags us away from the vicinity of God has become the religion of the day which denotes all the filths of abysmal kingdom. Television that corrupts our mind is the refuge of human beings who have been made slaves even from the age of toddling. No religious values can be inculcated into the young minds who are the addicts of a screen culture of violence, murder, sex perpetrations, family feuds, defacto relationship, infidelity, pornography, political treachery and international butchery. There is an instinctive love in among the wild animals till now, whereas the fruits of modern technology that added our financial security has seduced us to a stage that betray one another, even father against children or husband against wife or the ruler against the ruled and vice versa, the appropriate, chosen recipe for our doom forever. If we go on paddling for each wave that hit the canoe of our life, we have to go on writing in volumes and volumes. It has come to a state where nothing is sacred anymore on this solid earth. Parents and grand-parents are wailing over the nappy and toddling generations whose future is written in tears and fretting fumes on the pages of conflagrating infernal fire.

Human Destiny:
Where can we go from now on for our shelter when the netherworld wolves have ravaged our family life, the nursery of humanity that can survive by spiritual exuberance, but now is fumigated with the religion of Beelzebub? Is there any place that hasn’t been under the fire of humanitarian crises in one form or another; the whole world is in the flames that have been kindled by sex mania that budded in Eden and power games of a grandiose proportion. The whole globe is an abattoir for the slaughter of human animals that don’t know what to do with the newly acquired lax freedom, the leverage of financial affluence for a privileged group and the technological advancement that convert the common mass as the slaves of their own passions. Ideal parenting is impossible as the parents themselves are the violators of the Godly commands that only can harmonize and synchronise individual to individual and parents to parents and groups to groups. Anything minus God is pandemonium and anything that is in affinity with the celestial forces is creative and soliciting. Blaming anybody is of no use as these are all the parts of the equation that finishes the end. A society of anarchy only can welcome the prince of perdition who is waiting at the door. None could grab Jesus and sentence to death at any odd hour of the time before Gethsemane betrayal, so also is the Bride that is to be prodded over by the carnivorous forces of the doomsday lifestyle, because all the prophesies will have to be fulfilled at their appointed times. Look at the world scene that is now enjoying a free bloodbath at the expense of the innocent and oppressed ones. The modern generations are crazy for the antique products that our bygone generations have been using, so also our nostalgia for the previous life styles, strength of character, relationship with one another and family ties that welded them together in bringing harmony and cordiality, the serene quality of love and to be loved phenomena of social ethics and many other dead characteristics that cannot be revived at any cost because the river that is enticed to be with mother sea doesn’t run backwards. Everything is evolving for a final crash. The concept of ‘spare the rod, spoils child’ is today a vampire that brings severe punishments from the State as every child is a property of the government, not the cuddling family member that brings joy for the dear ones of the family and its vicinity. The unfortunate children that are the products of animal passions are the brutes that need to be dealt with like aliens who imports deadly weapons for our peril. True religion, a thing of the past, has become the fabricated amalgam of body lusts and indoctrinated stuff of hallucinations and delusions that only can accompany us on our way to our untimely and unnatural graves. Educating the young ones is cumbersome due to the absence of role models who could be our lodestars who silently dictating our transitory life. Parents, teachers, educators who are addicted to the destructive pressures of life has no time, knowledge, wisdom and know-how, and moral or legal rights in moulding their young ones that are in the utter world of confusions and addictions which swerve them to be addle eggs for some others’ misfortunes.

"The prophesies of Nostrdamus, 16th century, remind us the war that allegedly start on the 5th July, 1999 in the Middle East that swallows Europe and later the whole world, seems to have delayed another seven years to inaugurate the nuclear war of 2006 , as imbedded in “ The Bible Code’s, hidden network. Has that war, apparently, started on the 5th of July, 06? Such a war is meant to spill an ocean of blood is obviously in its offing for multiplying our miseries. Only time can prove this. St. Malachi of the 11th century predicted that the present Pope is the last but one of the chain of Popes. Grumblings or whimpering against the Creator won’t take us anywhere other than to the abysmal kingdom because, “he who endures to the end will be saved”, Mt. 24; 13. We should have thought about the backlashes at the time of crucifying the Life Giver, prophesies all will have to be fulfilled at its appointed times. “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children…For if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it dry”, Lk. 23: 28-31."
