Last April 16, 2007, A student of Virginia Tech killed 32 people and injured further 29 before committing suicide, making it the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history. The shooter, Seung-Hui Cho, of South Korean heritage who moved to the United States at age eight, and a senior majoring in English at Virginia Tech.
People around the world ask the ultimate question: WHY?
I must say that we expect for more. WORSER! Why? So, many people are asking why these incidents should happen. What is unknown to many people in these times of modern technological information which can be obtained in a matter of seconds worldwide is that there is something existing on this earth that can answer and explain why things are happening this way, especially in these times. We have it available — even in the web — THE BIBLE. In the book of 2 Timothy 3:13, the Bible has this to say:
“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”
A deceiver being deceived is not a common but an extraordinary scenario. This deception must have come not from humanity itself but from another supernatural power that hates humanity. The Bible introduces to us his person. In Revelations 12:9 it says:
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
Satan, the devil, hates humanity. John 8:44 records the words of the Lord Jesus:
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
I confidently ride in public utility vehicles like buses, taxis, jeeps….even airplanes. Of course, I trust God. He owns life and the only power that can legally take it as He said in Deuteronomy 32:39 —
“See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.”
But we have to consider also, speaking of prudence, (trust is not based on prudence but on faith) the one holding the control of a motorized vehicle. The norms that man has that instinct in him to preserve his life under all normal circumstances makes me a little comfortable and reliable in riding public utility vehicles. Under normal condition no man will kill himself, so I believe that logically, a driver will not intentionally bump the bus I am riding. But if somebody like Cho who is willing to kill himself; and taking into account the intelligence in him, which we can clearly discern from what he have said and recorded about his feelings and beliefs, we must conclude inevitably that Cho is under the deception of Satan. But why do we have to expect more? The answer, again, is in the most informative book being neglected; and even being defamed by its enemies — THE BIBLE.
2 Timothy 3:1-6 says:
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts…”
These are the evils that we must expect to witness in these last days. ‘Last days‘ because the advent of the newscaster of the good news is near. There will be a better world tomorrow. This is the only hope for humanity. All evil will be ended; and evildoers will be paid what is due them, when the Lord of Glory comes in power in that blessed day. After the storm, there is a bright day ahead; and I believe, if you will believe in the Bible, we will all see that day.
God Bless

My sympathies to all the victims and families. It was terrible tragedy.
For me, it seems that the society’s attitude towards guns, like alcohol or anything else evil is evident. Many people are being deceived by satan’s use of these devices and many tend to abuse these. Scripture prophecies are indeed happening especially nowadays. The bible proves bro. Eli’s point here. He is, what I believe, the messenger of God. I pray that we may endure the various storm we are facing and hope to see for that bright day ahead. More power to this blogsite (it is greatly enlightening). To God be the glory.
Thanks God for this article that gives much deeper understanding of what’s happening in the world. We look forward to read more of Bro Eli.
Life is so short. Let’s make the most out of it by serving the Lord.
GOD is the only one we can trust in this perilous times.
friends, or even our family will probably let us down.
but GOD never and will never let us down.
There can NEVER be MUCH more better than this – THE BIBLE. who can we turn to,that can lay down these ‘REVEALING TRUTH’ other than “THE BIBLE”? History has it! It just repeats itself till all of humanity will know that HE is GOD who make things happen according to HIS WILL! and that HE is SURELY to return with GREAT DIVINE SPLENDOR and GLORY! are you ready? are humanity ready? make yourself ready,all you need to to is just ask! “Itanong Mo Kay Soriano Biblia ang Sasagot!
Nut cases such as Cho are clearly the devil’s work. Thank GOD BRO. ELI’s around to make us understand these things.
A deceiver being deceived is not a common but an extraordinary scenario.
-> I Agree.
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts…”
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
->But why does Men do this thing? Is it only becuase they’ve been decieved or something? Or. . .it’s becuase they’ve choose it too? It is to be expected in the ‘last days’ acording to what St.Paul mention to Timothy, and I believe ‘so.
Thank you Bro.Eli
Thanks^_^
To GOD be the Glory

Such a tragic event. But again, the bible proved its accuracy that such would happen. We are very fortunate that in our congregation we are always well informed of such eventualities, it creates fear for us to do what is right..Thanks to the overflowing gift that GOD has given our preacher that he untiringly shared to us…(so people if you are hungry for the word of GOD..listen to Bro.Eli and you’ll get the right foods for your soul..)
We have to work out our salvation with fear and trembling,before it’s too late.Brod. Eli keep on shouting the words of God, so people will repent,fear ,and renew their hearts towards the truth and righteousness.Thanks be to God.
Brother Eli is right what should we expect from the world ruled by satan? ofcourse nothing but harm, evil and deceits.We should not aspire for this world to be better because this world is bound to doom. So what should we look and long for? the new world,and that is from the heaven and will be given by GOD to those who had waited for His son Jesus Christ.There we can taste the life of overwhelming happiness and eternal peace.Thank God for bro.Eli for being the instrument of God for us to be able to reach eternity.May God help us all. Brethrens keep the faith!

Based on observation, some people now are doing evil as describe in the verses above. I can now conclude that we are now in the last days.
I HOPE AND PRAY THAT MANKIND WILL TURN THEIR HEARTS TO GOD TILL THERE’S TIME TO DO SO!
Cho, the killer had, lost his identity,hope, mind and everything he had specially the Creator-GOD.
Too late to discover the old path with Bro. Eli to see the good side of life here which is temporal then follows the everlasting life.
There is a spirit world. Evil spirits dwells on man who do not fear God.
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
Matthew 12:43
King James Version
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians 6:12
King James Version
In this perilous times…mans only hope is God. The safest place on earth is in the HOUSE OF GOD ( I TIM 3:15 ).
There can never be a true preacher
, other than what we have with the MCGI. What is the reality about him, is that he was born and began to preach at the approximate time predicted in (12:4 of Daniel).
