Should the Biden Administration and United Nations Will Just Close Their Eyes to the Unrest in Myanmar?

Should the Biden Administration and United Nations Will Just Close Their Eyes to the Unrest in Myanmar?

   Sagaing Region, Myanmar. There is a Military Coup d'etat in Myanmar right now, but the big question is; will the USA under Joe Biden's administration, and The United Nations be involved in this troubled country? The civilians in Myanmar have been suffering in fear and sleepless nights due to unrest, violence, and uncertainties. People are under attacked by the Military. The country's own Citizens are unsafe and in fear even on their own roofs, knowing that the Military may tag them as opposition to the Military Junta.

   Some Christians are hiding for fear of Persecution or retribution. This is according to my source whose name I don't want to publish for safety reasons. This is an unedited version of what he said; "It’s most scary at night. The military send many people into public to attack and burn houses. And there a lot of military and police trucks roaming and trying to kidnap the people at night. Last night five strangers entered into our neighborhood but we saw and able to chase them away."

   I wish Christians and Politicians alike, especially this administration and United Nations will not just close their eyes and let the innocent people in Myanmar suffer, the women be raped or people will die in the hands of their own Military. I wish the United Nations will take notice of the unrest and abuses by those in power in Myanmar. 

   Myanmar has been ruled by the Military Junta for more than 50 years, in spite of the fact that its people keep fighting for democracy under the leadership of Daw Aung San Su Kyi. 

   In the 2015 Election, the National Leagues for Democracy  (NLD)  won the election, but obviously the said Election was just a show to make it look like the country is not under Military Rule. Again, there was an Election in November of 2019 and the NLD Party once again won in a landslide victory, but the Military refused to accept the result and the voice of the masses, of which it leads to the recent Military Coup in February 1, 2021.

   This is Martial Law and the Voters refused to accept such abuse of power. The Military Chief- General Min Aung Hali might be responsible for detaining the president, Mr. U Win Myint and the Chief Democracy Leader, the Counsellor Daw Aung San Su Kyi and some other leaders. Where they have detained the aforementioned Political Prisoners is still unknown according to my source. 

   The people of Myanmar have been fighting against the Military Government by going onto the streets on strike to voice out their rejection of the Military Junta. In their desire to have freedom from Military oppression, most of the government workers stopped going to work in order to show their civil disobedience to the government.

   The imminent downfall of Myanmar before our eyes is just like a needle in a short thread. The Citizens of Myanmar have nowhere to go and do about due to shut downs of the banks, hospitals, clinics, public transportations, airports, schools, etc.- unfortunately, in some places and instances, the Military are forcing them to go to work or face arrests and be imprisoned. This is dictatorship!

   There were strikes and rallies in many parts of the country in opposition to the Military takeover, but the same soldiers and police forces tried to stop the people by using weapons and guns. People were hurt and beat up. Too many have been killed and arrested but the world doesn't seem to notice. The United Nations should do something for the people of Myanmar. All these people want is Peace, Law and Order. This has to STOP!

Last Night I Had the Strangest

Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream

   It was one of the weirdest dreams I have had in my life. It was a mixed dream. I had a fight with my older siblings. It was a fight I never had before, even when I was not a believer of the Lord Jesus Christ yet. And I cursed and swore at my father like I never did before. I was only stopped and calmed down,  and pacified of my hate and anger by my mother. It was a very ugly scenario where I felt like I was so evil. Then it went to a different place, scenario, emotions, people involved and perspectives. 

   It was a dream I never dreamed before. God made me see the future. I don't want to play the role of a false prophet here as I share to you my dream. Neither will I be a foreteller of something that may happen one day if we, as believers and disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ are not careful.

   In my dream, God showed me about the Closing of the Doors in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was like a huge IPad where God just slipped the pages with His finger. Unfortunately, God showed me about the Closing of the preaching of the Gospel from the Philippines, down to Southeast Asia, to China, up to the remote area in Russia. It was a very sad time.

   Believe it or not, God showed me the faces of the people who had the opportunity to share the Word of God to the lost souls, but some did not. God slides the pages back and forth and I see the pictures of the preachers. A specific person I know was there and obviously, I can't tell you the name of the organization or Ministry that may identify the leader.

   The Pastors and Preachers meet on how they could spread the Gospel, but it may have been too late. Everyone was so discouraged (including myself) until God said about the plan. 

   It was someone from the remote area in Russia. God was raising someone from Russia to spread the Word of God going North. You may want to check on the world map where it goes starting from the boundary of China and Russia. 

   I cried this morning about 3 times from the time I shared my dream to my wife just past 5:00 in the morning.

   The Message for You:

1- Grab every opportunity to evangelize, preach the Word, go soul winning, tell others about Jesus and what He has done on the cross. (Acts 1:8, I Corinthians 15:1- 8)

2- Be passionate about the Gospel. (Romans 1:14- 16)

3- Be obedient to God's command to go and preach the Gospel, and make a commitment to spread the Good News at all costs. (Matthew 28:18- 20)

My Parents- The Best in the World

My Parents- the Best in the World.

   My father was good looking. He looks like my second son Ely Jr. only older. My mother was beautiful, and with her Spanish light skin; any single man could fall in love with her, if she is a teenager at this very moment. They did not have formal education, but they love the Lord and gave their lives for God's Glory and in the service of the King.
  
   They did not gave us the abundance of the world, but in the last chapter of their lives on earth, they showed us their love and dedication for God.

   In my book "Boklit", I talked about my dad's struggles with drunkenness, abuses, smoking, and other things that broke our hearts. I am proud of my parents. When they gave their lives to God, and God changed them, everything in our home changed.

   It would be a great honor for me if they are around while I am preaching or just listen to me while I share my testimony, and what God have done in me and through me. I wish my parents are around reading my books before they go to bed and get up in the morning. I wish they see our precious grandchildren.

   This can happen to you too if you don't treasure your love ones while they're around. Love them while you can, and make them feel loved.
