Conquering the beasts of the apocalypse

The theological hypothesis that, "Allah (God) created man a living soul, in his image and likeness to be fruitful and multiply, to fill and subdue the earth and to exercise constitutional authority over the creation," and the sociological proposition that, " ... all men are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, and that among these rights are life, liberty and the right to have knowledge for development; and that to secure these rights, governments are instituted by men," gives to those who are atoned the necessary tools to defeat the four apocalyptic dragons.

The four apocalyptic dragons are: (1) the miseducation of children; (2) sexual perversity; (3) murder, capitol punishment and war; (4) gambling, economic exploitation, slavery, and prostitution.

These four demonic forces have the peoples of the whole world in captivity.

However, when one repents of killing animals and eating their flesh, and engaging in the practices of fornication, hate, murder, exploitation, gambling, prostitution, and the miseducation of children, they find themselves to be capable of comprehending the science of marriage, education, government, and economics.

Living, applying and institutionalizing the principles of marriage, education, government and economics create the alternative to miseducation, sexual perversity, murder and economic exploitation.

It is living and manifesting this alternative that will destroy the four apocalyptic dragons.

So the question is, who will fight the dragon? Who will repent and atone? Who will give scientific leadership to the peoples of the earth who are under captivity of the four apocalyptic dragons? Who can give leadership in institutionalizing marriage, education, government, and economics?

The four apocalyptic dragons of miseducation, sexual perversity, murder, and economic exploitation are violating the human and civil rights of all people, and all people are either agents or victims of these dragons.

Therefore, all people are called upon to atone�to point out the wrong within themselves that causes them to be either agents or victims of the apocalyptic dragons.

Although all are called, only a few will be chosen, because only a few will heed the call of atonement. Many will not point out the wrong in themselves, and will die pointing the finger at others. Pointing the finger at others is a popular sport. However, it does not give leadership in finding solutions to problems.

Atonement is necessary because it allows a person to be able to hear the original hypothesis�that man is a living soul in the image and likeness of Allah (God). If one does not hear the truth of their own identity, how can they give leadership?

When the eight steps of atonement are taken, they allow a person to see the reality of "All men are created equal to the task for which they were created," and it further allows a person to see how to institute governments among men.

When we truly atone, it becomes plain to see that we are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities of power, and wickedness and darkness in high places.

The call went out on October 16, 1995, for all men to atone.

The call will go out on October 16, 2000, for all families to atone.

However, if men did not heed the call to atone, and did not develop a working relationship with Allah (God), how can they call their wives and children to join them in a relationship which they themselves do not have?

Many are called, but only those who heed the call will be chosen by Allah (God) to give proper leadership.
