<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>Will there be a huge Middle East war before the false peace comes into force? Most likely not. The Zionist state of Israel is already on the brink of surrender.</em></p>
<div id="attachment_9255" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://ivarfjeld.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/settlers.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-9255" title="settlers" src="http://ivarfjeld.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/settlers.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="301" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Jewish setters are now branded as the obsticle to World peace. By priests and laymen who have waged war against the Word of God.</p></div>
<p>Many Christians believe that the Gog and Magog war explained in the book of Ezekiel will come before the reign of the Anti-Messiah in Jerusalem.</p>
<p>There are many scriptural reasons to believe that the events will come in the alternate order. That the God and Magog war are the final onslaught on the Jewish state of Israel, after the Jewish people have been fooled and deceived to put their trust in the <em>«false peace».</em></p>
<p>Lets first take a look at the Word of God, explained by the prophet Ezekiel.  Than we will compare the prophetic words of Joel, Zechariah, Ezekiel and the book of Revelation, that have be in agreement with each other.</p>
<p>The Gog war will take place after the restoration of Israel:</p>
<p><strong>Ezekiel 39: 25. </strong><br />
<em>«Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will now bring Jacob back from captivity and will have compassion on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name.</em><br />
<strong><br />
Ezekiel 39: 26 </strong><br />
<em>The Jewish people shall believe that they are living in safety. </em></p>
<p>They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety in their land with no one to make them afraid. When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will show myself holy through them in the sight of many nations.</p>
<p>The Gog war will take place after 1967, when the Zionist Jews have returned to the Mountains in Zion. Ad the Jewish state was recovered from many wars.</p>
<p><strong>Ezekiel 38:8</strong><br />
<em>«After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety. You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land».</em></p>
<p>This verse shows that the enemies of Israel shall attack the Jewish people when they believe they are living under the protection of «peace».  Today, almost all the road blocs  in Judea and Samaria have been removed. After the false peace have been signed, its possible that the security fence also will be removed.</p>
<p><strong>Ezekiel 38:11</strong></p>
<p><em>You will say, &#8220;I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars.</em></p>
<p>There will be a great earthquake.</p>
<p><strong>Ezekiel 38:19</strong><br />
<em>In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.</em></p>
<p>This wrath of God followed by the arrival of the Holiness of God, can only be the events that will bring the return of the Messiah:<br />
<strong><br />
Ezekiel 38: 21-23: </strong></p>
<p><em>I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign LORD. Every man&#8217;s sword will be against his brother. I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.</em>&#8216;</p>
<p><strong>Ezekiel 39:11</strong></p>
<p><em>On that day I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, in the valley of those who travel east toward the Sea. It will block the way of travelers, because Gog and all his hordes will be buried there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon Gog.</em></p>
<p>This verse explains that the Messiah, the Lion of Judah, will return during the Gog war.</p>
<p><strong>Ezekiel 39: 21</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;I will display my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the punishment I inflict and the hand I lay upon them. From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God. </em></p>
<p>The book of Joel, Zechariah, Ezekiel and Revelation by John can not contradict each other. Joel explain why God`s judgment is coming, and that all nations will be judged.</p>
<p><strong><em>Joel 3:2 </em></strong></p>
<p><em>I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.</em></p>
<p>Zechariah, Ezekiel and book of Revelation all speaks of the great Earthquake. There will be a massive Earthquake the day the Messiah returns to Jerusalem, and the final battles between good and evil begins.</p>
<p><strong>Zechariah 14:4-5</strong><br />
<em>On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.</em></p>
<p><em>You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake [a] in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.</em></p>
<p>The Book of Revelation tells about the voice of God that will bring in the rapture, followed by an powerful Earthquake.<br />
<strong><br />
Revelation 11:12-14 </strong><br />
<em><br />
Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, «Come up here»  And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.</em></p>
<p><em>At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. </em></p>
<p>The last battle will be in Zion:</p>
<p><strong>Revelation: 16: 15-17<br />
</strong></p>
<p><em>Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.&#8221; </em></p>
<p><em> Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon. </em></p>
<p><em> The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, &#8220;It is done!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Which Temple?</p>
<p>From the Temple Mount. Paul explains that Jesus will enter the Temple and to bring a brutal end to the final anti-Messiah.<br />
<strong><br />
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4</strong></p>
<p><em>Don&#8217;t let anyone deceive you in any way, for (that day will not come) until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God&#8217;s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.</em><br />
<strong><br />
2 Thessalonians 2:7-9 </strong><br />
<em><br />
For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders.</em></p>
<p>All glory to God, who in our days will do the final separation of the sheep and the goats. In the Messianic age Jesus the Messiah will come and rule the Earth with and iron rod.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>Former Prime Minister Olmert offered Mahmoud Abbas the Temple Mount to become a new International Zone, controlled by Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the Palestinian state, Israel and the United States.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<div id="attachment_9106" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><em><em><a href="http://ivarfjeld.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/olmertabbasjericho.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-9106" title="OlmertAbbasJericho" src="http://ivarfjeld.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/olmertabbasjericho.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="350" /></a></em></em><p class="wp-caption-text">Ehud Olmert and Mahmoud Abbas was ready to prepare the way for the anti-Messiah to enter the Temple Mount. </p></div>
<p>This is an observation done Greg Sheridan in the newspaper The Australian.</p>
<p>Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert&#8217;s term in office is best remembered for the extensive negotiations and final peace offer that he made to Mahmoud Abbas. Olmert is right to paint this offer as embodying the most extensive concessions, and the best deal, ever offered to the Palestinians by an Israeli leader.</p>
<p><em> If the Palestinian leadership cannot accept that offer, can they accept any realistic offer?</em></p>
<p><em>Do they have the machinery to run a state? </em></p>
<p><em>Is their society too dysfunctional and filled with anti-Semitic propaganda to live in peace next to the Jewish state?</em></p>
<p>Olmert explained his position to me in unprecedented detail.</p>
<p><em>«From the end of 2006 until the end of 2008 I think I met with Abu Mazen (Abbas) more often than any Israeli leader has ever met any Arab leader. I met him more than 35 times. They were intense, serious negotiations».</em></p>
<p><em>«On the 16th of September, 2008, I presented him with a comprehensive plan. It was based on the following principles. One, there would be a territorial solution to the conflict on the basis of the 1967 borders with minor modifications on both sides. Israel will claim part of the West Bank where there have been demographic changes over the last 40 years»</em></p>
<p>Olmert says this would have involved Israel claiming about 6.4 per cent of the West Bank:</p>
<p><em>«Israel would claim all the Jewish areas of Jerusalem. All the lands that before 1967 were buffer zones between the two populations would have been split in half. In return there would be a swap of land (to the Palestinians) from Israel as it existed before 1967». </em></p>
<p><em>«I showed Abu Mazen how this would work to maintain the contiguity of the Palestinian state. I also proposed a safe passage between the West Bank and Gaza. It would have been a tunnel fully controlled by the Palestinians but not under Palestinian sovereignty, otherwise it would have cut the State of Israel in two». </em></p>
<p><em>«No. 2 was the issue of Jerusalem.  I was ready that the city should be shared. Jewish neighborhoods would be under Jewish sovereignty, Arab neighborhoods would be under Palestinian sovereignty, so it could be the capital of a Palestinian state. Then there was the question of the holy basin within Jerusalem, the sites that are holy to Jews and Muslims, but not only to them, to Christians as well» </em></p>
<p><em>«I would never agree to an exclusive Muslim sovereignty over areas that are religiously important to Jews and Christians. So there would be an area of no sovereignty, which would be jointly administered by five nations, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the Palestinian state, Israel and the United States». </em></p>
<p>Source: The Australian.</p>
<p>My comment:</p>
<p>I guess Ehud Olmert explained Mahmoud Abbas the «false peace» plan that Israel eventually will be forced to implement.</p>
<p>But it will not bring peace. It will set the stage for the False Messiah to enter into israel and the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, preparing for the final onslaught on the Jewish people, the final genocide.</p>
<p>Than, Jesus the Messiah will return to Jerusalem. Just like in Egypt 3000 years ago, Israel shall be saved. This time the final judgment will take place. Hallelujah.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>We succeeded in building the democratic State of Israel and bringing the ideas of human rights and equality to the darkest places populated by tyrants and dictators.</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://ivarfjeld.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/foto3_sharansky.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8972" title="Foto3_Sharansky" src="http://ivarfjeld.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/foto3_sharansky.jpg" alt="Natan Sharansky is telling the Jews to hold on to Zionism" width="450" height="299" /></a></em></p>
<p>This is the words of Natan Sharansky, who represent Jewish Agency for Israel. He explains that Israel has succeeded  because we were empowered by thousands of years of dreams and prayers of  <em>«Next year in Jerusalem». </em></p>
<p>«In the years before my arrest I was in fact the unofficial spokesman of two movements &#8211; a human rights movement pressing for democratic reforms in the Soviet bloc and the Soviet Jewry movement seeking the right of Jews to become free».</p>
<p>«In those years I was often pressed by my comrades in arms on both sides to make a choice between these two wars. You have to decide, they said, are you the fighter for human rights for everybody or are you fighting for the rights of your own tribe?»</p>
<p>Do you belong to the world of universal values or to the world of nationalism?</p>
<p>I must say, I personally never felt that I needed to choose because I felt that they are deeply connected. The battle for freedom and the battle for identity was the same battle for me.</p>
<p>I was one of many assimilated Jews only because the Soviet regime put it as an aim to deprive people deliberately of any loyalties to their faith, to their nation, to their family.</p>
<p>As the official definition of citizenship stated clearly &#8211; all Soviet people are cogs in the communist machine. The only value left for us was our physical survival and there was no reason to risk it.</p>
<p>When did this situation change?</p>
<p>In 1967, the Six-Day War in Israel reconnected us with our people, with our country and history, and gave us pride for being Jewish. We discovered our identity and this empowered us to fight for our freedom.</p>
<p>If you believe in the universal values of freedom and human rights, why bother to stick to your national or ethnic identity we are asked.</p>
<p>Doesn&#8217;t Judaism prize tikkun olam, perfection of the world at large, as its highest value?</p>
<p>Why insist on staying part of a small tribe, when the great, global melting pot makes nationalities seem like nothing more than sentimental reminiscences?</p>
<p>This choice between freedom and identity is a false one. The Iron Curtain was brought down and hundreds of millions found their freedom only because we found the source of strength in our pride and in our identity.</p>
<p>Source: Natan Sharansky is a former deputy prime minister, and presently the Chairman of the Executive of the Jewish Agency for Israel. He was speaking to the General Assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America.</p>
<p>My comment:</p>
<p>Who has empowered the Jewish people?</p>
<p>I guess it is the God of Israel. Its easy to take credit for success, and the final restoration of the state of Israel.</p>
<p>But why do you not give God the credit?</p>
<p>Its easy to blame God, for the exile and 2.000 years in diaspora, and equal easy to take credit for the reunion and victory in 1967</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>Netanyahu&#8217;s moves on the issue of prisoner swap and Jewish settlements have already weakened the country considerably.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<div id="attachment_8986" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 454px"><em><em><a href="http://ivarfjeld.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/090904_walt2b.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-8986" title="090904_walt2b" src="http://ivarfjeld.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/090904_walt2b.jpg" alt="" width="444" height="298" /></a></em></em><p class="wp-caption-text">Benjamin Netanyahu has seen better days. Under pressure from Obama, he gave in to Islamic demands, before the Arabs recognized Israels right to exist. </p></div>
<p>This is the conclusion made by Caroline Glick, who is a columnist in Jerusalem Post. Glick is a Zionist that has been favoring the Likud party in her comments on security issues. Now she gives the strongest warnings possible to Netanyahu for giving in to pressure from Obama and the Muslim World.</p>
<p>Her are some of her viewpoints:</p>
<p><em>«So far from winning American support or at least causing the White House to ease its bullying, US President Barack Obama sees Netanyahu&#8217;s decision to implement a militarily irrational, bigoted policy of prohibiting Jews from building in Israel&#8217;s heartland as a drop in the bucket».</em><br />
<em><br />
«The truth is that Israel should not be in the business of negotiating the right of Israeli cities and villages to exist and prosper. The notion that it is acceptable to demand that Jews not be permitted to live in Judea and Samaria &#8211; or anywhere else in the world &#8211; is not a notion that Israel should countenance» </em></p>
<p><em>«Were Israel to see 20 Arab embassies opening in exchange for a temporary freeze in Jewish construction, one could say that Netanyahu&#8217;s massive concession was justified».</em><br />
<em><br />
«Simply by agreeing to negotiate with Hamas, Netanyahu conferred legitimacy not only on the terror group, but on the act of taking hostages». </em><br />
<em><br />
«Netanyahu&#8217;s moves on the issue to date have already weakened the country considerably».</em><br />
<em><br />
«Netanyahu&#8217;s willingness to release murderers from prison also signs the death warrants of countless Israelis». </em></p>
<p><em>«Unlike Netanyahu, the Palestinians are playing their cards wisely. Why should they accept his move as sufficient when they know the Americans will demand still more concessions from him?»</em></p>
<p>My comment:</p>
<p>Last time Benyamin Netanyahu was Prime Minister of Israel, He gave Hebron into the hands of Islam. This time He is willing to give up Zionism it self.</p>
<p>The day the Jewish nations agree that Jews are not permitted to live in Judea and Samaria, we will see the beginning of the end of the Jewish state of Israel.</p>
<p>Radical Islam, terror, lies and cheating have paid off.  As the columnist correctly asks:<br />
<em><br />
How can an Israeli Prime Minister in principle agree to make any part of the World, a Jew-free zone? </em></p>
<p>The US, the Europan Union, Russia and China do not understand the consequences of the dirty game they are playing on the Israeli Government. They now give us the same message, and the same political solutions, that the Nazis was promoting in the 1930-ties.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>«If the United Nations General Assembly were to vote today on Resolution 181, the Partition Plan that led to the creation of the modern State of Israel, &#8220;there is no doubt&#8221; that it would not be approved»</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<div id="attachment_8947" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://ivarfjeld.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/w1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-8947" title="W" src="http://ivarfjeld.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/w1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="292" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Israeli deputy foreign minister Danny Aylaon tells the truth about the United Nations. </p></div>
<p>The Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said this on Wednesday night, at the first meeting of the Hadar Israel organization in Jerusalem</p>
<p>Former ambassador to the UN Dore Gold, who also spoke at the Hadar event, gave a similar assessment to The Jerusalem Post on Thursday, noting that <em>«the UN today seeks to undermine the very legitimacy of the State of Israel».</em></p>
<p>Anglo-action group Hadar invited Israel Beiteinu MK Ayalon, Gold and former ambassador to Canada Alan Baker as keynote speakers to address the hundreds of participants on how Israel should confront the new diplomatic and legal threats in the international political arena.</p>
<p>The Hadar event is scheduled to coincide with the anniversary of the November 29, 1947 vote on the UN Partition Plan for Palestine, which was approved by 33-13 with 10 abstentions.</p>
<p>In his speech, Ayalon declared that in the coming weeks, in response to the increasing international diplomatic pressure, the Foreign Ministry would be unveiling a national and global campaign to change negative public opinion.</p>
<p>Ayalon estimated that 60-65 percent of today&#8217;s UN member nations are <em>«dictatorial» </em>countries that would vote against Israel were the establishment of the Jewish state put to the UN now.<br />
<em><br />
«That&#8217;s an automatic majority against us…We have to understand this and devise how to counter it»</em>, said the deputy foreign minister.</p>

<p><em>What is the moral </em><em> compass of the United Nations? Is it men like the Muammar al-Gaddafi?</em></p>
<p><em>Maybe its the voice of the Islamic republic of Iran, and the justice provided by the Ayatollah?</em></p>
<p>The UN has reduced it self to a forum of the wicked. It holds not truth. Some of the leaders who appear in the General Assembly are criminals that should be put behind bars as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Adolf Hitler would have loved the podium of United Nations. From there He could have spread all his venom against the Jewish people. Just like Mahmood Ahmadinejad.</p>
<p>The moral compass of the World should have been the 10 commandments, confirmed as God`s will by the Messiah Jesus. The World should have given thanks to the Jewish people for bringing us this compass.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>Gilo has been a residential suburb of Jerusalem since 1971. The land was purchased by Jews before World War II. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<div id="attachment_8820" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><em><em><a href="http://ivarfjeld.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jerusalem_gilo4.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-8820" title="jerusalem_gilo4" src="http://ivarfjeld.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jerusalem_gilo4.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="337" /></a></em></em><p class="wp-caption-text">The land of Gilo in Jerusalem was purchased by Jews before World War II</p></div>
<p>The suburb of Gilo is very different from the so-called Jewish outpost in Judea and Samaria, whom the Arabs and International media calls «The West Bank». Gilo is not in East Jerusalem as widely reported, but in southwest Jerusalem within the municipal borders.</p>
<p>It is a Jerusalem neighborhood with a population of around 40,000. The ground was bought by Jews before WWII and settled in 1971. There is no inference whatsoever that it rests on private Arab land.</p>
<p>Source: The Jerusalem Post.</p>
<p>My comment:</p>
<p>To claim that Jews can not build in Gilo is not only racism against the Jewish people. Its also a daylight robbery of Jewish properties.</p>
<p>The Arabs have always been jealous of the Zionist Jews, that returned to Eretz Israel. In modern time, the great return home to Israel started around 1895. The Jews that returned home purchased land, wherever there was a owner to be traced in this massive wasteland.</p>
<p>The Jews purchased sand dunes, and rocky soil.</p>
<p>When the Jews liberated the so called West Bank from Islamic occupation in 1967, Jews also came home to the Mountains of Zion. They gave the local Arabs the job of constructing houses. The Arabs had a saying:</p>
<p><em>«Good the Zionist are building such beautiful houses. Because one day we will just take the key´s from them, and declare these houses as Palestinians properties».</em></p>
<p>In plain English: This is theft and robbery, promoted by Islam as a struggle for independence.</p>
<p>Why has Gilo first developed in 1971?</p>
<p>Because from 1948 to 1967, East Jerusalem was occupied by Islamic forces. The Kingdom of Jordan did not give Jews access to their properties in the suburbs. The Islamic occupation was the real Apartheid.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img style="max-width:800px;float:left;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-right:10px;" src="http://www.fusedfilm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2012-movie-trailer.jpg" height="154" width="179" />Ada banyak kawan bertanya pada saya, benarkah kiamat terjadi pada 2012? Tentunya Kiamat yang ditanyakan disini adalah Kiamat Kubro, yaitu hari Kiamat yang hanya terjadi sekali yang menghancurkan seluruh kehidupan dan tentu saja menghancurkan Bumi ini sendiri dan alam semesta. Saya pribadi tidak memiliki landasan berfikir dari fakta yang saya temukan, karena sejauh ini, isu ini hanyalah mitos sampai dapat dibuktikan pada tahun 2012 mendatang.</p>
<p>Oleh karenanya saya melakukan pendekatan yang berbeda, yaitu pendekatan keimanan. Tentunya karena Yaumil Kiyamah (hari akhir) ini merupakan salah satu rukun iman yang wajib kita yakini kebenarannya sebagai seorang muslim. </p>
<p>Al-Qur&#8217;an dan Hadist sangat jelas menjawab tentang kapan Kiamat Kubro ini terjadi.</p>
<blockquote><p>Mereka menanyakan kepadamu tentang kiamat: &#8220;Bilakah terjadinya?&#8221; Katakanlah: &#8220;Sesungguhnya pengetahuan tentang&#160; kiamat itu adalah pada sisi Tuhanku; tidak seorangpun yang dapat menjelaskan waktu kedatangannya selain Dia. Kiamat itu amat berat (huru haranya bagi makhluk) yang di langit dan di bumi. Kiamat itu tidak akan datang kepadamu melainkan dengan tiba-tiba&#8221;. Mereka bertanya kepadamu seakan-akan kamu benar-benar mengetahuinya. Katakanlah: &#8220;Sesungguhnya pengetahuan tentang bari kiamat itu adalah di sisi Allah, tetapi kebanyakan manusia tidak mengetahui&#8221;.<br />
<b>(QS al-A&#8217;raaf [7]: 187)</b></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sesungguhnya hari kiamat itu akan datang Aku merahasiakan (waktunya) agar supaya tiap-tiap diri itu dibalas dengan apa yang ia usahakan&#8221;<br />
<b>(QS Thahaa [20]: 15)</b></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Bahwa seorang Arab badui bertanya kepada Rasulullah saw.: Kapankah kiamat itu tiba? Rasulullah saw. bersabda: &#8220;Apa yang telah kamu persiapkan untuk menghadapinya?&#8221; Lelaki itu menjawab: &#8220;Cinta Allah dan Rasul-Nya&#8221;. Rasulullah saw. bersabda: &#8220;Kamu akan bersama orang yang kamu cintai&#8221;.<br />

<p>Kehebohan 2012 tidak hanya terjadi di lingkungan teman-teman saya, tetapi juga sudah merambah ke masyarakat awam sampai-sampai MUI di daerah mengeluarkan fatwa haram tentangnya (atau tentang filmnya?). Sebetulnya apa sih yang akan terjadi pada 2012 hingga menghebohkan begini?</p>
<p><big><b>End of Worlds from Times to times</b></big></p>
<p>Sebelum fenomena 2012, sudah ada ratusan ramalan mengenai hari Kiamat ini, 10 diantaranya yang paling menghebohkan tapi tidak terbukti, seperti yang dikumpulkan oleh <b><a href="http://www.livescience.com/strangenews/091104-doomsday-predictions.html" target="_blank">LiveSciense</a></b>:</p>
<ol>
<li><b>Tahun 1806, Nabi Hen dari Leeds</b></li>
<p>Sejarah mencatat tak terhitung banyaknya orang yang mengabarkan kebangkitan Yesus, namun tak ada yang seaneh di Leeds pada 1806. Tulisan &#8216;Yesus telah datang&#8217;  tertulis di telur ayam. Kabar ini menyebar dengan luas, orang-orang percaya kiamat sebentar lagi.</p>
<li><b>23 April 1843, Millerites</b></li>
<p>Seorang petani New England bernama William Miller, setelah bertahun-tahun mempelajari Injil, menyimpulkan bawa Tuhan telah memilih hari kiamat, antara 21 Maret 1843 sampai 21 Maret 1844. Ribuan orang menjadi pengikutnya, mereka lalu memutuskan waktu kiamat adalah 23 April 1843.</p>
<p>Sebagian pengikut menjual atau bahkan membagi-bagikan harta milik mereka. Alasannya, toh sebentar lagi kiamat, mereka tak lagi&#160; butuh barang-barang itu. </p>
<li><b>Tahun 1891, Ramalan Armageddon, Mormon</b></li>
<p>Joseph Smith, pendiri gereja Mormon mengundang rapat para pimpinan gereja pada February 1835.&#160; Dalam rapat itu, dia mengabarkan Yesus akan turun sekitar 56  tahun lagi, setelah itu dunia menuju titik akhir.</p>
<li><b>Tahun 1910, Komet Halley</b></li>
<p>Pada 1881 astronom memprediksikan sebuah komet yang mengandung gas beracun, cyanogen, akan datang ke bumi. Tak ada yang mengkhawatirkan ramalan itu, sampai orang-orang menyadari bahwa sebuah komet [Komet Halley] akan melintas ke bumi pada 1910.</p>
<p>Apakah bumi akan diselubungi gas beracun? Spekulasi ini bahkan jadi headline di The New York Times dan beberapa koran lainnya, mengundang kepanikan di Amerika Serikat dan beberapa negara.</p>
<li><b>Tahun 1982, Ramalan Pat Robertson</b></li>
<p>Pada Mei 1980, seorang pendeta Evangelist, Pat Robertson memperingatkan kiamat akaan terjadi dalam waktu dekat. &#8220;Saya menjamin, akhir 1982 akan jadi hari terakhir dunia,&#8221; kata dia saat itu.</p>
<li><b>Tahun 1997, Sekte&#160; &#8216;Heaven&#8217;s Gate&#8217;</b></li>
<p>Ketika komet Hale-Bopp terlihat pada 1997, rumor yang mengatakan kapal alien datang ke bumi, menumpang komet tersebut. Fenomena itu disimpulkan oleh sekte &#8216;Pintu Surga&#8217; sebagai akhir dunia.</p>
<p>Yang mencengangkan, 39 anggota sekte &#8216;Pintu Surga&#8217; melakukan bunuh diri massal pada 26 Maret 1997. Mereka beranggapan dengan melakukan bunuh diri, mereka akan terselamatkan.</p>
<li><b>Bulan Juli 1999, Nostradamus</b></li>
<p>Selama 400 tahun, ramalan Nostradamus telah membuat penasaran. Tulisannya diinterpretasikan selama berabad-abad dengan banyak versi.</p>
<p>Salah satu syairnya yang terkenal adalah,&#8221; Pada tahun 1999, bulan ketujuh. Akan muncul dari langit, maharaja teror.&#8221;</p>
<p>Banyak yang percaya, cukilan syair Nostradamus ini adalah ramalan akhir dunia. </p>
<li><b>1 Januari 2000, Y2K</b></li>
<p>Milenium baru diramalkan akan memicu kekacauan komputer. Masalah ini mengemuka pertama kali pada 1970, yang mempertanyakan mampukah komputer membaca beda antara tahun 2000-an dan 1900-an.</p>
<p>Tak ada yang tahu pasti apa yang akan terjadi, namun kekhawatiran dipicu ketakutan adanya bencana nuklir yang terjadi akibat kekacauan dalam sistem komputerisasi. Akibatnya, penjualan senjata melonjak, sebagian orang yang panik pun memilih untuk tinggal di dalam bunker. </p>
<li><b>5 Mei 2000</b></li>
<p>Ketika ramalan Y2k tak terbukti, muncul ramalan kiamat di tahun yang sama. Seorang penulis buku, Richard Noone, pada 5 Mei 2000, es di Antartika meleleh. </p>
<p>Bencana ini akan mengakibatkan musnahnya umat manusia.</p>
<li><b>Musim Gugur 2008, Ramalan Gereja Ministri</b></li>
<p>Pada 2006, pimpinan gereja ministri, Ronald Weinland, mengeluarkan sejumlah buku yang menyebut ratusan orang akan mati secara massal. &#8220;Maksimal dua tahun tersisa, sebelum dunia mengalami saat terburuknya sepanjang sejarah umat manusia.&#8221;</p>
<p>Di musim gugur 2008, Amerika Serikat akan jatuh dan tak lagi menjadi negara yang merdeka.

<li><b>Kalender Bangsa Maya Menyingkap Peristiwa Besar</b></li>
<p><img style="max-width:800px;float:right;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:10px;" src="http://www.gardengnomefromhell.com/uploaded_images/mayan_calendar-703040.gif" height="215" width="226" />Seorang sejarawan Amerika, Dr. Jose Arguelles (http://www.lawoftime.org) mengabdikan dirinya untuk meneliti peradaban bangsa ini. Ia mendalami ramalan Maya yang dibangun di atas fondasi kalender yang dibuat bangsa itu, di mana prediksi semacam ini persis seperti cara penghitungan Tiongkok, ala Zhou Yi. </p>
<p>Kalendernya, secara garis besar menggambarkan siklus hukum benda langit dan hubungannya dengan perubahan manusia. Dalam karya Arguelles, <b>The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology</b> yang diterbitkan oleh Bear &#38; Company pada 1973, disebutkan dalam penanggalan Maya tercatat bahwa sistem galaksi tata surya kita sedang mengalami The Great Cycle’ (siklus besar) yang berjangka lima ribu dua ratus tahun lebih. Waktunya dari 3113 SM sampai 2012 M.</p>
<p>Dalam siklus besar ini, tata surya dan Bumi sedang bergerak melintasi sebuah sinar galaksi (galatic beam) yang berasal dari inti galaksi. Diameter sinar secara horizontal ini ialah 5125 tahun Bumi. Dengan kata lain, kalau Bumi melintasi sinar ini akan memakan waktu 5125 tahun lamanya.</p>
<p>Siklus besar ini dibagi menjadi 13 tahap, setiap tahap evolusi pun mempunyai catatan yang sangat mendetail. Arguelles dalam bukunya itu menggunakan banyak sekali diagram-diagram untuk menceritakan kondisi evolusi pada setiap tahap. Kemudian setiap tahap itu dibagi lagi menjadi 20 masa evolusi. Setiap masa itu akan memakan waktu 20 tahun lamanya.</p>
<p>Dari masa 20 tahun antara tahun 1992-2012 itu, Bumi kita telah memasuki tahap terakhir dari fase Siklus Besar, bangsa Maya menganggap ini adalah periode penting sebelum masa Pra-Galatic Synchronization, mereka menamakannya: The Earth Regeneration Period (Periode Regenerasi Bumi). Selama periode ini Bumi akan mencapai pemurnian total. Setelah itu, Bumi kita akan meninggalkan jangkauan sinar galaksi dan memasuki tahap baru: penyelarasan galaksi.</p>
<p>Tahun 755 M, seorang rahib Maya pernah meramal, setelah tahun 1991 kemudian, akan ada dua peristiwa penting terjadi pada manusia yaitu kebangkitan kesadaran, dan pemurnian Bumi serta regenerasinya.</p>
<p>Dari penjelasan ini dapat kita ambil kesimpulan bahwa sesungguhnya bangsa Maya sendiri juga tidak meramalkan bahwa Kiamat akan terjadi pada 2012. Yang ada malah bangsa Maya meramalkan tentang kehidupan setelah tahun 2012 yang akan berbeda jauh dengan tahun sebelum 2012.</p>
<p>Anggota Organisasi Maya K&#8217;iche, Anibal Lukas, mengaku tak terpengaruh dan tak ambil pusing dengan histeria 2012 yang dihubung-hubungkan dengan Bangsa Maya.</p>
<p>Bagi dia, tanggal 21 Desember 2012 tak berarti apapun baginya. &#8220;Bagi kami, itu tidak merubah apapun. Hari itu bukan akhir dunia,&#8221; kata dia.</p>

Dalam bukunya, penulis berdarah Lebanon yang menjabat sebagai Ketua Dewan Direksi Aerospace Consulting Corporation di New Mexico ini dipaparkan dengan sangat jelas dan juga ilmiah tentang kemungkinan terjadinya bencana alam di tahun tersebut. </p>
<p>Bencana itu antara lain: siklus aktivitas matahari yang memuncak di tahun 2012 yang menyebabkan panas yang luar biasa di bumi, terlebih atmosfer kita sudah mengalami penipisan dan bolong di beberapa bagian sehingga selain memanaskan bumi dengan radikal juga melelehkan es di kutub dan juga menimbulkan badai serta topan yang dahsyat. </p>
<p>Medan magnet bumi yang berfungsi sebagai pertahanan utama bumi terhadap radiasi sinar matahari mulai retak bahkan ada yang sampai sebesar kota California di sana-sini. Pergeseran kutub juga tengah berlangsung. </p>
<p>Tata surya kita tengah memasuki medan awan energi antar bintang. Awan itu mengaktifkan dan merusak keseimbangan matahari serta atmosfer planet-planet. Para ahli geofisika Rusia berpendapat bahwa ketika bumi akan memasuki awan energi tersebut di tahun 2012 hingga 2020 dan akan menimbulkan bencana besar yang belum pernah ada sebelumnya. </p>
<p>Untuk yang satu ini NASA menyatakan:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Aktivitas matahari berlangsung secara reguler, puncaknya kira-kira setiap 11 tahun. Makin dekat ke puncak, badai matahari dapat mengakibatkan gangguan sistem komunikasi satelit. Para ahli teknik saat ini mempelajari bagaimana menciptakan alat elektronik anti fenomena badai matahari. Namun, sekali lagi, tak ada resiko badai matahari yang ada hubungannya dengan 2012.  Puncak badai matahari diperkirakan terjadi pada 2012-2014, namun tak ada yang spesial, diperkirakan yang akan terjadi saat itu sama dengan fenomena serupa yang pernah terjadi dalam sejarah.&#8221; &#8211; <a href="http://showbiz.vivanews.com/news/read/105358-meteor_hantam_bumi_di_2012__ini_jawaban_nasa" target="_blank">http://showbiz.vivanews.com/news/read/105358-meteor_hantam_bumi_di_2012__ini_jawaban_nasa</a></p></blockquote>
<li><b>Supervulkan Yellowstone</b></li>
<p>Fakta yang tak kurang seram adalah Supervulkan Yellowstone yang meletus setiap 600.000-700.000 tahun kini menggeliat, bersiap meledak. Letusan terakhir dengan kekuatan setara terjadi 74.000 tahun silam yang kemudian membentuk Danau Toba, ketika itu menewaskan lebih dari 90 persen populasi dunia.</p>

<p><b><big>What&#8217;s will happens on 2012? &#8211; International Conspiracy</big></b></p>
<blockquote><p><b>How much truth you can handle?</b></p></blockquote>
<p><i>International Conspiracy</i> ini jauh sangat menakutkan, karena kalau Kiamat <i>by Nature</i> artinya itu diluar kuasa seluruh umat manusia, tetapi kalau <i>International Conspiracy</i> itu artinya ada sekelompok orang melakukan konspirasi untuk menciptakan kiamat atau pembunuhan masal untuk seluruh atau sebagian besar ummat manusia.</p>
<p>Berikut adalah rencana-rencana dengan deadline 2012.</p>
<ol>
<li><b>Modernisasi Pentagon (<a href="http://www.defenselink.mil/releases/release.aspx?releaseid=3044" target="_blank">http://www.defenselink.mil/releases/release.aspx?releaseid=3044</a>)</b></li>
<p>Di abad milenium, ketika sebagian dinding Pentagon hancur ditabrak misil yang mirip sebuah pesawat jet kecil pada tanggal 11 September 2009, segelintir elit AS menginginkan agar Pentagon diubah dan dimodernisasi lebih canggih lagi dengan berbagai peralatan yang terkomputerisasi.</p>
<p>Batas waktu bagi upaya modernisasi Pentagon ini adalah Desember 2012! </p>
<li><b>Protocol of Zion (<a href="http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/przion1.htm" target="_blank">http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/przion1.htm</a>)</b></li>
<p>Memasuki abad ke-21, setelah menggelar Konferensi Zionis Internasional I di Basel, Swiss, pada tahun 1897, yang mengesahkan Protocolat Zionis sebagai agenda bersama gerakan Konspirasi untuk menguasai dunia. Emas dan propaganda merupakan dua komponen utama yang dipergunakan sebagai senjata kelompok ini.</p>
<p>Nyaris seluruh Eropa telah berada dalam cengkeraman kuku-kuku mereka. Demikian pula dengan Amerika Serikat. Namun mereka menghendaki agar Eropa bisa didesain ulang sesuai dengan kepentingan mereka, yakni Eropa yang tidak bersatu dan penuh konflik di dalamnya. Sebab itu, pecahlah Perang Dunia I yang disusul pula dengan Perang Dunia II. Kedua perang besar dengan korban puluhan juta nyawa manusia ini diangap berhasil guna mendesain ulang peta politik dan perekonomian dunia.</p>
<p>Pasca Perang Dunia II, mesin propaganda Konspirasi menanamkan kepada otak seluruh manusia—terutama Barat—bahwa bangsa Yahudi telah dibuat begitu menderita dalam perang tersebut dengan terjadinya upaya pembasmian etnis Yahudi yang dilakukan Nazi Jerman. Tragedi Holokous dijadikan berhala baru dalam peta politik dunia di mana tidak seorang pun boleh mempertanyakan keabsahannya. </p>
<blockquote><p>“Dengan adanya mitos holokous ini, Barat yang dibuat merasa begitu berdosa diperas habis-habisan oleh kekuatan ini, ”<br />
demikian Prof. Norman G. Finkelstein dalam bukunya <b>“The Holocoust Industry”</b>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Bangsa Yahudi pun telah berhasil mendirikan “Negara” di atas tanah milik bangsa Palestina dengan dukungan lobi politik Negara-negara Barat.</p>
<p>Guna melicinkan jalan menguasai dunia, maka Konspirasi mendirikan sebuah badan super power yang seluruh kebijakannya berada dan berlaku di atas kebijakan negara-negara yang ada yaitu Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (United Nations). PBB didirikan di San Francisco, AS, pada 24 Oktober 1945 setelah Konferensi Dumbarton Oaks di Washington, DC. Sidang Umum yang pertama, dihadiri wakil dari 51 negara, berlangsung pada 10 Januari 1946 di London. Sebelumnya PBB ini bernama Liga Bangsa-Bangsa.</p>
<p>Badan Internasional ini diperlengkapi dengan lembaga-lembaga di bawahnya yang mencakup hampir semua bidang kehidupan manusia di bumi ini, seperti kesehatan (WHO), pangan (FAO), perbankan atau perekonomian (World Bank dan IMF), dan sebagainya. Sesungguhnya, PBB ini merupakan satu rintisan ke arah tatanan dunia baru yang menghendaki adanya satu super pemerintahan yang berhak mengatur negara-negara lainnya.</p>
<p>Dalam perjalanannya, PBB terbukti menjadi alat bagi kepentingan imperialisme Barat terhadap negeri-negeri selatan. Dalam segala hal, PBB senantiasa mengambil kebijakan yang menguntungkan kaum Konspirasi. Jika pun ada resolusi yang keluar bagi Israel, misalnya, maka hal tersebut hanyalah sebuah resolusi di atas kertas yang tidak memiliki dampak apa pun terhadap Israel. Namun jika ada satu saja resolusi PBB bagi negeri-negeri Islam, maka resolusi itu wajib dipatuhi dan dilaksanakan, bahkan jika perlu dengan ancaman senjata dari negara besar seperti AS dan sekutunya.</p>
<p>Kalau kita perhatikan, apa yang terjadi sekarang-sekarang ini sangat sesuai dengan Protocol of Zion ini, bahkan hanya tinggal beberapa tahap saja maka keseluruhan rencana Zionis terhadap kehidupan akan segera terjadi.</p>
<li><b>Kontrol Populasi</b></li>
<p>Teori kontrol populasi dipelopori oleh munculnya teori <b>“Ledakan Penduduk”</b> yang dikeluarkan oleh <b>Thomas Robert Malthus (1798)</b> seorang pemikir Inggris yang ahli pada bidang teologi dan ekonomi. Teorinya menyatakan: </p>
<blockquote><p>“Jumlah penduduk dunia akan cenderung melebihi pertumbuhan produksi (barang dan jasa). Oleh karenanya, pengurangan ledakan penduduk merupakan suatu keharusan, yang dapat tercapai melalui bencana kerusakan lingkungan, kelaparan, perang atau pembatasan kelahiran”.</p></blockquote>
<p>Mereka yang percaya pada teori ini mengatakan bahwa dunia dengan segala kekayaan alamnya, dengan seluruh ekosistemnya, rantai makanannya, serta sistem alamiah yang ada, tidak akan sanggup untuk menopang kehidupan umat manusia sebanyak sekarang—sekitar 6 miliar orang—dengan baik. Untuk menciptakan satu dunia yang lebih baik, maka diperlukan pengurangan jumlah populasi umat manusia sebanyak 93%-nya atau dunia ini hanya mampu untuk menopang kehidupan 500 juta manusia.</p>
<p>Upaya kontrol populasi pada dasawarsa 60-an telah diungkapkan secara terang-terangan oleh para pemimpin Eropa dan Amerika dalam strategi jahat mereka untuk melakukan pemusnahan total terhadap bangsa-bangsa tertentu secara bertahap. Buktinya, pada saat itu Mesir dan India (sebagai Negara yang berpopulasi terbanyak didunia) segera menerapkan program pembatasan kelahiran.</p>
<p>Disamping itu terbukti telah banyak kesepakatan, organisasi gereja dan berbagai lembaga yang mengucurkan dana melimpah untuk merealisasikan program </p>
<p>pembatasan kelahiran tersebut, khususnya di Dunia Islam. Misalnya kesepakatan Roma, Lembaga Ford Amerika (yang menyokong apa yang disebut dengan program “kesehatan/kesejahteraan keluarga”), Lembaga Imigrasi Inggris (yang dengan terus terang menyerukan perlindungan alam dengan membatasi pertumbuhan manusia,<u><b>walaupun harus melalui pembantaian massal</b></u>).</p>
<p>Bukti lainnya, pada bulan Mei 1991,pemerintah AS telah mengekspose beberapa dokumen rahasia yang isinya berupa pandangan pemerintah AS bahwa pertambahan penduduk dunia ketiga merupakan ancaman bagi kepentingan dan keamanan AS. Salah satu dokumen itu ialah instruksi Presiden AS nomor 314 tertanggal 26 November 1985 yang ditujukan kepada berbagai lembaga khusus, agar segera menekan negeri-negeri tertentu mengurangi pertumbuhan penduduknya. Diantaranya negeri-negeri itu adalah India, Mesir, Pakistan, Turki, Nigeria, <b>Indonesia</b>, Irak dan <b>Palestina</b>.</p>
<p>PBB juga telah mensponsori konferensi pertama mengenai masalah ini pada tahun 1994 di Kairo untuk menganalisa masalah overpopulasi dan mengajukan sejumlah langkah untuk mengkontrolnya. Pada konferensi itu diperdebatkan sedemikian banyak pendekatan untuk mengkontrol fertilitas, seperti : dipromosikannya penggunaan alat kontrasepsi, perkembangan ekonomi liberal dan diserukannya peningkatan status wanita. Dasar dari konferensi itu adalah suatu penerimaan atas anggapan bahwa pertumbuhan penduduk menyebabkan kemorosotan ekonomi dan dilakukannya usaha-usaha untuk mengkontrol pertambahan penduduk di Dunia Ketiga terhambat oleh keyakinan agama yang mendorong dimilikinya keluarga yang besar dan kurangnya pendidikan bagi wanita. </p>
<p>Di Indonesia telah dibuat program-program yang mendukung upaya kontrol populasi untuk berbagai komunitas yang dikomandoi BKKBN dan LSM lokal, nasional dan asing, diantaranya : untuk kalangan Ibu diterapkan KB dengan slogan hindari <b>4Ter</b> (Terlalu muda,Terlalu tua, Terlalu sering dan Terlalu dekat). Untuk kalangan bapak diarahkan untuk melakukan kondom dengan segala fasilitasnya dan larangan untuk berpoligami. Untuk kalangan remaja adanya pembatasan usia dewasa 18 tahun sehingga dilarang melakukan pernikahan dini dan pendidikan seks/reproduksi dengan istilah <b>Kesehatan Reproduksi Remaja/KRR</b> yang yang merangsang munculnya naluri seksual dengan slogan “SAVE SEX” dan melarang pernikahan dini.</p>
<p>Untuk kalangan remaja telah dikeluarkan suatu program yang disebut <b>program Dunia RemajaKu Seru (DAKU)</b>. Awalnya program DAKU dikenal di negara Uganda, Afrika, dengan nama <b>The World Start With Me</b>, lalu diadaptasi ke beberapa negara seperti Thailand, Vietnam, Kenya, Afrika Selatan, Mongolia, Cina, Pakistan, serta Indonesia. Program ini seperti nya didisain untuk negara-negara yang memiliki populasi banyak. Untuk di Indonesia telah diberlakukan sebagai percontohan di Jakarta pada beberapa sekolah sejak tahun 2005, 2006, 2007 di 12 SMU-SMK Jakarta (yaitu SMAN 100, SMA Angkasa 2 dan SMKN 27, SMAN 67, SMAK 7 Penabur dan SMKN 32, SMA Muhammadiyah 19, SMAN 53, SMK Jaya Wisata Menteng, SMAN 7, SMK Walisongo dan SMAN 105. Saat ini program tersebut juga telah dikembangkan dibeberapa propinsi diantaranya Bali, Sumatera Utara, Lampung dan Jambi. Program ini disosialisasikan terlebih dahulu oleh suatu LSM yaitu <b>World Population Foundation</b> dan LSM lokal <b>Yayasan Pelita Ilmu</b>. Program yang diperuntukkan bagi anak-anak usia 12-19 tahun, dirancang berbasis teknologi informasi membuat anak-anak remaja bisa langsung secara mudah mengakses berbagai modul-modulnya. Dan yang cukup menarik dalam modul-modul tersebut anak diajarkan untuk bercinta yang sehat tetapi tidak melalui pernikahan dini. Hal ini berarti legalisasi hubungan lawan jenis bahkan di fasilitasi untuk menyalurkan naluri seksualnya tanpa harus dengan pernikahan.</p>
<p>Yang unik, Desember 2012 merupakan waku yang ditentukan oleh pihak Konspirasi untuk memulai program ini secara besar-besaran. Belum ada satu pun pihak yang mengetahui secara pasti mengapa Konspirasi mematok awal program yang akan mengurangi jumlah umat manusia secara drastis ini pada Desember 2012.

<blockquote><p>“Andaikan dunia tinggal sehari sungguh Allah akan panjangkan hari tersebut sehingga diutus padanya seorang lelaki dari ahli baitku namanya serupa namaku dan nama ayahnya serupa nama ayahku. Ia akan penuhi bumi dengan kejujuran dan keadilan sebagaimana sebelumnya dipenuhi dengan kezaliman dan penganiayaan.”<br />

<b>(HR Ahmad)</b></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“Terjadi perselisihan ketika meninggalnya seorang Khalifah. Kemudian, seorang dari Bani Hasyim (Al-Mahdi) keluar pergi ke Makkah. Masyarakat membawanya (Al-Mahdi) keluar rumah menuju antara ar-rukn (hajar aswad) dan al-maqâm (maqam Ibrahim ‘alaihissalam). Sementara, dari Syam telah disiapkan pasukan untuk menyerangnya, namun ketika mereka berada di al-Baida’ (sebuah tempat antara Makkah dan Madinah), mereka semua ditenggelamkan (oleh Allah). (Melihat karamahnya itu), beberapa kelompok dari Irak, dan para wali (Abdal) dari Syam mendatanginya (untuk berbaiat). Seseorang di Syam yang ibunya dari Bani Kalb, menyiapkan pasukan untuk menyerangnya, kemudian Allah-pun mengalahkan mereka, sehingga bencana pun menimpa mereka, maka hari itu merupakan hari kekalahan bagi Bani Kalb. Bahkan, orang yang menyesal adalah orang yang tidak berhasil mendapatkan ghanimah (harta rampasan perang) Bani Kalb. Kemudian, ia (Al-Mahdi) membuka berbagai harta simpanan, membagi-bagi harta, menyampaikan (mendakwahkan) Islam ke wilayah-wilayah sekitarnya. Masyarakat hidup bersama (Al-Mahdi) itu selama tujuh tahun, atau sembilan tahun.”<br />

Kemudian muncullah Panji-panji Hitam dari sebelah Timur, lalu mereka akan membunuh kamu semua dengan satu pembunuhan (yang paling dahsyat) yang belum pernah dilakukan oleh kaum manapun.” Kemudian baginda menyebutkan sesuatu yang saya tidak berapa ingat. Kemudian baginda bersabda, “Maka apabila kamu semua melihatnya, hendaklah kamu segera berbaiat kepadanya (Pemuda Bani Tamim itu) walaupun terpaksa merangkak di atas salju karena di sisinya adalah Khalifah Allah, yaitu Imam Mahdi.”<br />
<b>(Ibnu Majah)</b></p></blockquote>
<p>Hadit-hadist diatas memberikan kita gambaran bahwa kedatangan Imam Mahdi akan disertai empat peristiwa penting.<br />
<b>Pertama</b>, Daulah Khilafah telah tegak, meskipun tidak ada keterangan sudah berapa lama Khilafah tegak sebelum kedatangan Imam Mahdi.<br />
<b>Kedua</b>, perselisihan berkepanjangan sesudah kematian seorang Khalifah.<br />
<b>Ketiga</b>, dibai’atnya seorang lelaki (Imam Mahdi) secara paksa di depan Ka’bah.<br />
<b>Keempat</b>, terbenamnya pasukan yang ditugaskan untuk menangkap Imam Mahdi dan orang-orang yang berbai’at kepadanya. </p>
<p>Mayoritas Ulama sepakat bahwa kehadiran Imam Mahdi adalah jembatan penghubung antara Kiamat Shugro dan Kiamat Kubra, karena memang hadist-hadist tentang Imam Mahdi tidak termasuk ke dalam tanda-tanda Kiamat Shugro maupun Kiamat Kubro, tetapi kehadirannya jelas menandakan bahwa tanda-tanda Kiamat Shugro telah terwujud seluruhnya dan tanda-tanda Kiamat Kubro akan segera terlihat.</p>
<li><b>Kemenangan pasukan Kaum Muslimin dari Yahudi</b></li>
<blockquote><p>Tidak akan terjadi hari kiamat, hingga muslimin memerangi Yahudi. Orang-orang Islam membunuh Yahudi sampai Yahudi bersembunyi di balik batu dan pohon. Namun batu atau pohon berkata, &#8220;Wahai muslim, wahai hamba Allah, inilah Yahudi di belakangku, kemarilah dan bunuh saja. Kecuali pohon Gharqad (yang tidak demikian), karena termasuk pohon Yahudi.&#8221;<br />
<b>(HR Muslim dalam Shahih Jami&#8221; Ash-shaghir no. 7427)</b></p></blockquote>
<li><b>10 Tanda Kiamat yang pasti</b></li>
<blockquote><p>Hudzaifah bin As-yad al-Ghifaryberkata, sewaktu kami sedang berbincang, tiba-tiba datang Nabi MuhammadS.A.W kepada kami lalu bertanya, “Apakah yang kamu semua sedang bincangkan.?” Lalu kami menjawab, “Kami sedang membincangkan tentang hari Kiamat.”</p>
<p>Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W. “Sesungguhnya kiamat itu tidak akan terjadi sebelum kamu melihat sepuluh tanda :</p>
<ol>
<li>Asap (Ad-Dukhan)</li>
<li>Dajjal</li>
<li>Binatang melata di bumi</li>
<li>Terbitnya matahari sebelah barat</li>
<li>Turunnya Nabi Isa A.S</li>
<li>Keluarnya Ya&#8217;juj dan Ma&#8217;juj</li>
<li>Gerhana di timur</li>
<li>Gerhana di barat</li>
<li>Gerhana di jazirah Arab</li>
<li>Keluarnya api dari kota Yaman menghalau manusia ke tempat pengiringan mereka.</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<li><b>Asap</b></li>
<blockquote><p>Tidak ada Ilah (yang berhak disembah) melainkan Dia, Yang menghidupkan dan Yang mematikan. (Dialah) Rabbmu dan Rabb bapak-bapakmu yang terdahulu. Tetapi mereka bermain-main dalam keragu-raguan. Maka tunggulah hari ketika langit membawa asap yang nyata, yang meliputi manusia. Inilah adzab yang pedih.”<br />
<b>(TQS. Ad-Dukhan: 8-11)</b></p></blockquote>
<p>Apakah Asap ini? Asap Kebakaran Hutan? Asap kebakaran biasa? Atau Asap ledakan Nuklir???</p>
<li><b>Dajjal</b></li>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Wahai sekalian manusia! sesungguhnya tidak ada fitnah di muka bumi ini semenjak Allah menciptakan keturunan Adam, yang lebih besar dari fitnah Dajjal, Sesungguhnya Allah tidak mengutus seorang Nabi, melainkan telah memperingatkan kaumnya tentang fitnah Dajjal.&#8221;<br />
<b>(HR. Bukhari, Lihat Al-Fath Juz XIII hal 80-81)</b></p></blockquote>
<p>Dajjal adalah seorang manusia biasa, ia dinamakan demikian karena ia menutupi kebenaran dengan kebathilan atau dikarenakan ia menyembunyikan kekufurannya di hadapan manusia dengan kedustaan dan tipu dayanya terhadap mereka. Ada sejumlah hadits yang menjelaskan tentang sifat-sifat Dajjal.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Aku benar-benar akan memperingatkan kalian tentang Dajjal. Tidak ada seorang nabi melainkan ia pernah memperingatkan kaumnya tentang masalah tersebut. Tetapi aku akan mengatakan kepada kalian suatu ucapan yang belum pernah dikatakan oleh seorang nabi pun sebelumku. Dia itu (Dajjal) picak (bermata sebelah) sedangkan Alloh tidaklah picak”<br />
<b>(Sahih Jami’ shogir 3495/ Al-Bany)</b></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sesungguhnya di antara kedua matanya tertulis kaafir”<br />
<b>(HR Bukhori 13/91 dan Muslim 18/59)</b></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Dari Fatimah bin Qais RA; Dajjal berkata: “Maka aku keluar dan aku menelusuri seluruh negeri, aku tidak meninggalkan suatu negeri kecuali aku telah tinggal di dalamnya selam 40 hari. Kecuali kota Makkah dan Madinah. Keua kota tersebut diharamkan bagiku. Setiap kali aku akan memasuki salah satu dari keduanya. Seorang malaikat akan menghalangiku dengan pedang terhunus. Dan di setiap pelosok negeri tersebut ada malaikat yang menjaganya”<br />
<b>(Shohih Muslim 18/83)</b></p></blockquote>
<li><b>Binatang Melata di Bumi</b></li>
<blockquote><p>“Dan apabila perkataan telah jatuh atas mereka, Kami keluarkan sejenis binatang melata dari bumi yang akan mengatakan kepada mereka, bahwa sesungguhnya manusia dahulu tidak yakin kepada ayat-ayat Kami.”<br />
<b>(An-Naml 27:82)</b>
</p></blockquote>
<li><b>Terbitnya Matahari dari sebelah barat</b></li>
<p>Seperti yang kita ketahui dan kita alami setiap hari, bahwa Matahari terbit dari Timur, yang secara ilmiah ini diakibatkan oleh dua hal, yaitu polarisasi bumi yang mengakibatkan adanya kutub utara dan kutub selatan, dan yang kedua adalah arah rotasi bumi.</p>
<p>Maka ada dua teori yang menyebabkan Matahari terbit dari Barat.</p>
<ul>
<li>a. Perubahan Polarisasi bumi</li>
<p>Perubahan Polarisasi bumi ini bisa saja dalam arti kedua kutub ini akan bergeser, ataupun tiba-tiba saja berbalik, sehingga alat baca arah pun menunjukkan arah yang sebaliknya dan mengakibatkan semua orang berpendapat bahwa Matahari terbit dari Barat.</p>
<li>b. Arah rotasi bumi berubah ke arah sebaliknya</li>
<p>Artinya Bumi yang saat ini sedang berotasi akan berhenti seketika dan kemudian berotasi ke arah sebaiknya.
</ul>
<p>Yang manapun yang terjadi, sepertinya akan terjadi bencana alam besar dalam peristiwa ini.</p>
<li><b>Turunnya Nabi Isa A.S</b></li>
<blockquote><p>“Tidak ada seorang nabi pun antara aku dan Isa dan sesungguhnya ia benar-benar akan turun (dari langit), apabila kamu telah melihatnya, maka ketahuilah;bahwa ia adalah seorang laki-laki berperawakan tubuh sedang,berkulit putih kemerah-merahan. Ia akan turun dengan memakai dua lapis pakaian yang dicelup dengan warna merah, kepalanya seakan-akan meneteskan air waulupun ia tidak basah”.<br />
<b>(HR Abu Dawud)</b></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“Sekelompok dari ummatku akan tetap berperang dalam dalam kebenaran secara terang-terangan sampai hari kiamat,sehingga turunlah Isa Ibn Maryam ,maka berkatalah pemimpin mereka (Al Mahdi) : “ Kemarilah dan imamilah shalat kami”. Ia menjawab;”Tidak, sesungguhnya sebagian kamu adalah sebagai pemimpin terhadap sebagian yang lain, sebagai suatu kemuliaan yang diberikan Allah kepada ummat ini (ummat Islam)”.<br />
<b>(HR Muslim &#38; Ahmad)</b></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Rasulullah SAW bersabda,”Nabi Isa masih tetap tinggal di bumi hingga terbunuhnya Dajjal selama 40 tahun, lalu Allah mewafatkannya dan dishalatkan jenazahnya oleh umat Islam.<br />
<b>(HR Ahmad, Abu Daud, Ibnu Hiban, Al-Hakim dan dishahihkan oleh az-Zahabi)</b></p></blockquote>
<li><b>Turunnya Ya&#8217;juj dan Ma&#8217;juj</b></li>
<blockquote><p>“Hingga apabila dia telah sampai di antara dua buah gunung, dia mendapati di hadapan kedua bukit itu suatu kaum yang hampir tidak mengerti pembicaraan. Mereka berkata, ‘Hai Dzulkarnain, sesungguhnya Ya’juj dan Ma’juj itu orang-orang yang membuat kerusakan di muka bumi, maka dapatkah kami memberikan sesuatu pembayaran kepadamu, supaya kamu membuat dinding antara kami dan mereka.’ Dzulkarnain berkata, ‘Apa yang telah dikuasakan oleh Tuhanku kepadaku terhadapnya adalah lebih baik, maka tolonglah aku dengan kekuatan (manusia dan alat-alat), agar aku membuatkan dinding antara kamu dan mereka. Berilah Aku potongan-potongan besi.’ Hingga apabila besi itu telah sama rata dengan kedua (puncak) gunung itu, berkatalah Dzulkarnain, ‘Tiuplah (api itu)’, hingga apabila besi itu sudah menjadi (merah seperti) api, diapun berkata, ‘Berilah Aku tembaga (yang mendidih) agar aku tuangkan ke atas besi panas itu.’ Maka mereka tidak bisa mendakinya dan mereka tidak bisa (pula) melobanginya. Dzulkarnain berkata, ‘Ini (dinding) adalah rahmat dari Tuhanku, maka apabila sudah datang janji Tuhanku, dia akan menjadikannya hancur luluh; dan janji Tuhanku itu adalah benar”<br />
<b>(Al-Kahfi: 93-98)</b></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Dari Zaenab binti Jahsy bahwa Nabi datang kepadanya dengan tergopoh-gopoh. Beliau bersabda, “La ilaha illallah, celaka orang-orang Arab dari keburukan yang telah dekat, pada hari ini benteng Ya’juj Ma’juj dibuka seperti ini.” Rasulullah melingkarkan ibu jarinya dengan jari telunjuknya.<br />
<b>(Muttafaq alaihi, Mukhtashar Shahih al-Bukhari no. 1341, Mukhtashar Shahih Muslim no. 1987)</b></p></blockquote>
<p>Dahsyatnya fitnah Ya’juj dan Ma’juj digambarkan dalam sebuah hadist Rasulullah saw. Sebagai berikut :</p>
<blockquote><p>“Dinding Ya’juj dan Majjuj akan terbuka, maka mereka akan menyerang semua manusia, sebagaimana firman Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala: “Dan mereka turun dengan cepat dari seluruh tempat-tempat yang tinggi”<br />
<b>(QS . Al Anbiyaa’ : 96)</b></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Maka mereka akan menyerang manusia, sedangkan kaum Muslim akan berlarian dari mereka ke kota-kota dan benteng-benteng mereka, kemudian mereka mengambil binatang-binatang ternak bersama mereka. Sedangkan mereka (Ya’juj dan Ma’juj) meminum semua air di bumi, sehingga apabila sebahagian mereka melewati sebuah sungai maka merekapun meminum air sungai tersebut sampai kering dan ketika sebagian yang lain dari mereka melewati sungai yang sudah kering tersebut, maka mereka berkata: “Dulu di sini pernah ada air”. Dan apabila tidak ada lagi manusia yang tersisa kecuali seorang saja di sebuah kota atau benteng, maka berkatalah salah seorang dari mereka: “Mereka-mereka penduduk bumi sudah kita habisi, maka yang tertinggal adalah penduduk langit”, kemudian salah seorang dari mereka melemparkan tombaknya ke langit, dan tombak tersebut kembali dengan berlumur darah yang menunjukkan suatu bala dan fitnah. Maka tatkala rnereka sedang asyik berbuat demikian, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala mengutus ulat ke pundak mereka seperti ulat belalang yang keluar dari kuduknya, maka pada pagi harinya mereka pun mati dan tidak terdengar satu nafaspun. Setelah itu kaum Muslim berkata: “Apakah ada seorang laki-laki yang mau menjual dirinya untuk kami berani mati) untuk melihat apa yang sedang dilakukan oleh musuh kita ini?” maka majulah salah seorang dari mereka dengan perasaan (menganggap) bahwa ia telah mati, kemudian dia menemui bahwa mereka semua telah mati dalam keadaan sebagian mereka di atas sebagian yang lain (berhimpitan), maka laki-laki tersebut menyeru: “Wahai semua kaum Muslim bergembiralah kamu sesungguhnya Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala sendiri sudah membinasakan musuhmu”, maka mereka pun keluar dari kota-kota dan benteng-benteng dan melepaskan ternak-ternak mereka ke padang-padang rumput kemudian padang rumput tersebut dipenuhi oleh daging-daging binatang ternak, maka semua susu ternak tersebut gemuk (penuh) seperti tunas pohon yang paling bagus yang tidak pernah dipotong.”<br />
<b>(HR. Ahmad, Ibn Majah, Ibn Hiban dan Hakim dari Abu Sa’id)</b></p></blockquote>
<li><b>Orang beriman tidak mengalami Kiamat</b></li>
<blockquote><p>“Kiamat tidak akan berlangsung kecuali menimpa atas orang-orang yang paling jahat.”<br />
<b>(HR Muslim 5243)</b></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“Sesungguhnya Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala akan mengutus suatu angin yang lebih lembut dari sutera dari arah Yaman. Maka tidak seorangpun (karena angin tersebut) yang akan disisakan dari orang-orang yang masih ada iman walau seberat biji dzarrah kecuali akan dicabut ruhnya.”<br />
<b>(HR Muslim 1098)</b></p></blockquote>
</ol>
<p><b><big>2012: Good News or Bad News?</big></b></p>
<blockquote><p><b>It&#8217;s a myth until it&#8217;s proven</b></p></blockquote>
<p>Dari penjelasan diatas dapat kita tarik kesimpulan:</p>
<ol>
<li>Kiamat adalah Sunnatullah</li>
<p>Dahulu perkara Kiamat ini sangat tabu dibicarakan, apalagi seiring dengan perkembangan zaman yang begitu pesat seakan menggambarkan bahwa dunia dan kehidupan yang kita kenal tidak akan hancur.</p>
<p>Tapi secara naluriah manusia sesungguhnya memahami suatu proses dalam kehidupannya, yaitu bahwa tidak ada yang abadi dalam hidup ini, akan selalu ada proses yang selalu berdampingan satu sama lainnya, yaitu penciptaan dan penghancuran. Manusia Lahir, hidup, kemudian mati. Kita bertemu, berinteraksi, kemudian berpisah. Semua dalam hidup ini mengalami proses/siklus yang sama dan inilah yang disebut sunnatullah bahwa Setelah penciptaan pasti ada penghancuran.</p>
<p>Dan Islam telah menjadikan hari Kiamat sebagai salah satu rukun Iman, dimana tidak sah iman seseorang kecuali dengannya. Rasulullah SAW bersabda ketika ditanya oleh Jibril tentang iman,</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Iman itu adalah engkau percaya kepada adanya Allah, malaikat-malaikat-Nya, kitab-kitab Suci-Nya, utusan-utusan-Nya, hari akhir dan engkau yakin takdir baik dan buruknya.&#8221;<br />
<b>(H.R Tirmidzi, Nasa&#8217;i, Abu Daud dari Umar ibn Khattab)</b></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Barang siapa yang kafir kepada Allah, malaikat-malaikat-Nya, kitab-kitab-Nya, rasul-rasul-Nya dan hari akhir, maka sesungguhnya orang itu telah sesat sejauh-jauhnya.&#8221;<br />
<b>(QS. An-Nisa&#8217;: 136)</b></p></blockquote>
<li><b>Hari Kiamat adalah hak Preogratif Allah SWT</b></li>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Dan pada sisi Allah-lah kunci-kunci semua yang gaib; tak ada yang mengetahuinya kecuali Dia sendiri.&#8221;<br />
<b>(QS. Al-An&#8217;am: 59)</b></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sesungguhnya Allah, hanya pada sisi-Nya sajalah pengetahuan tentang Hari Kiamat; dan Dia-lah Yang menurunkan hujan, dan mengetahui apa yang ada dalam rahim. Dan tiada seorang pun yang dapat mengetahui (dengan pasti) apa yang akan diusahakannya besok. Dan tiada seorang pun yang dapat mengetahui di bumi mana dia akan mati. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui lagi Maha Mengenal.&#8221;<br />
<b>(QS. Luqman: 14)</b></p></blockquote>
<p>Kemudian Allah menekankan kembali bahwa hanya Dia saja yang mengetahui kapan terjadinya kiamat. Bahkan secara khusus Allah mengingatkan Rasul-Nya bahwa dia tidak memiliki pengetahuan tentangnya. Dan jika manusia bertanya kepadanya, Allah menyuruh agar mengembalikan jawabannya kepada Allah &#8216;Azza wa Jalla.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Mereka menanyakan kepadamu tentang kiamat: &#8216;kapankah terjadinya?&#8217; Katakanlah: &#8216;Sesungguhnya pengetahuan tentang kiamat itu adalah pada sisi Tuhanku; tidak seorang pun yang dapat menjelaskan waktu kedatangannya selain Dia. Kiamat itu amat berat (huru-haranya bagi makhluk) yang di langit dan di bumi. Kiamat itu tidak akan datang kepadamu melainkan dengan tiba-tiba&#8217;. Mereka bertanya kepadamu seakan-akan kamu benar-benar mengetahuinya. Katakanlah: &#8216;Sesungguhnya pengetahuan tentang hari kiamat itu adalah di sisi Allah, tetapi kebanyakan manusia tidak mengetahui&#8217;.&#8221;<br />
<b>(QS. Al-A&#8217;raf: 187)</b></p></blockquote>
<li><b>Daulah Khilafah Islamiyah adalah sebuah kepastian</b></li>
<p>Salah satu tanda hari Kiamat adalah telah tegaknya Daulah Islamiyah bahkan sebelum imam Mahdi diturunkan. </p>
<blockquote><p>“Terjadi perselisihan ketika meninggalnya seorang Khalifah. Kemudian, seorang dari Bani Hasyim (Al-Mahdi) keluar pergi ke Makkah. Masyarakat membawanya (Al-Mahdi) keluar rumah menuju antara ar-rukn (hajar aswad) dan al-maqâm (maqam Ibrahim ‘alaihissalam). Sementara, dari Syam telah disiapkan pasukan untuk menyerangnya, namun ketika mereka berada di al-Baida’ (sebuah tempat antara Makkah dan Madinah), mereka semua ditenggelamkan (oleh Allah). (Melihat karamahnya itu), beberapa kelompok dari Irak, dan para wali (Abdal) dari Syam mendatanginya (untuk berbaiat). Seseorang di Syam yang ibunya dari Bani Kalb, menyiapkan pasukan untuk menyerangnya, kemudian Allah-pun mengalahkan mereka, sehingga bencana pun menimpa mereka, maka hari itu merupakan hari kekalahan bagi Bani Kalb. Bahkan, orang yang menyesal adalah orang yang tidak berhasil mendapatkan ghanimah (harta rampasan perang) Bani Kalb. Kemudian, ia (Al-Mahdi) membuka berbagai harta simpanan, membagi-bagi harta, menyampaikan (mendakwahkan) Islam ke wilayah-wilayah sekitarnya. Masyarakat hidup bersama (Al-Mahdi) itu selama tujuh tahun, atau sembilan tahun.”<br />
<b>(HR. Ath-Thabarani dalam Al-Ausath, Al-Haitsami menyebutnya dalam Majma’uz Zawâij, ia berkata “semuanya rawinya adalah para rawi yang shahih”)</b></p></blockquote>
<p>Memang tidak ada keterangan yang pasti sudah berapa Khalifah sebelum imam Mahdi diturunkan, tetapi yang jelas imam Mahdi diutus untuk menggantikan Khalifah sebelumnya.</p>
<p>Hal ini sangat sesuai dengan sabda Rasulullah SAW:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Ada kenabian di tengah-tengah kalian. Dengan kehendak Allah, ia akan tetap ada, kemudian Dia pun mencabutnya, jika Dia berkehendak untuk mencabutnya.<br />
Kemudian ada kekhalifahan berdasarkan tuntunan Nabi, maka dengan kehendak Allah, ia pun akan tetap ada, lalu Dia mencabutnya, jika Dia berkehendak untuk mencabutnya.<br />
Kemudian ada penguasa yang zalim, maka dengan kehendak Allah, ia akan tetap ada, kemudian Dia pun mencabutnya, jika Dia berkehendak untuk mencabutnya.<br />
Kemudian ada penguasa diktator, maka dengan kehendak Allah, ia akan tetap ada, kemudian Dia pun mencabutnya, jika Dia berkehendak untuk mencabutnya.<br />
Kemudian akan ada khilafah berdasarkan tuntunan Nabi.<br />
Lalu, beliau pun diam.”<br />
<b>(Hadis ini diriwayatkan oleh Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal di dalam kitabnya Musnad Al Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, Juzuk 4, halaman 273. Juga terdapat dalam kitab As-Silsilatus Sahihah, Jilid 1, hadis nombor 5)</b></p></blockquote>
<li><b>Akankah terjadi peristiwa besar pada 2012?</b></li>
<p>Tidak ada yang tahu apa yang akan terjadi pada 2012, karena memang belum terjadi dan masih menjadi rahasia Allah SWT. Tapi kalau kita baca kembali poin-poin diatas, maka dapat ditarik satu kesimpulan bahwa dalam pandangan Islam, ramalan atau isu kiamat 2012 itu sangat bertentangan dengan al-Qur&#8217;an dan Sunnah Nabi </p>
<p>Bahkan dalam film 2012 yang sangat menghebohkan dunia, hari yang terjadi hanya Kiamat Shugro bukan Kiamat Kubro, dan tipikal film Amerika, meskipun semua orang tampaknya mati, tetapi tokoh utama tetap hidup dan tertawa bahagia di akhir film.</p>
<blockquote><p><b><big>Persoalan pokoknya, bukan pada ada atau tidak adanya kejadian hari kiamat. Melainkan waktu kejadian ditetapkan tahun 2012, tepatnya 21 Desember 2012, yang sangat bertentangan dengan al-Qur&#8217;an dan Sunnah Rasulullah SAW.</big></b></p></blockquote>
<p>Meskipun demikian, tidak menutup kemungkinan bahwa bencana kemanusiaan besar akan terjadi pada tahun itu. Baik itu yang disebabkan oleh alam maupun yang diakibatkan ulah segelintir manusia.</p>
<p>Jika disebabkan oleh alam, maka itu adalah sunnatullah, kita sebagai manusia tidak bisa melakukan apapun kecuali berusaha menyelamatkan hidup. Tetapi apabila diakibatkan oleh konspirasi berskala Internasional dan mayoritas masyarakat terutama ummat Islam adalah targetnya, lalu siapakah yang sanggup melindungi kita? Siapakah yang sanggup berdiri melawan hegemoni barat yang sudah begitu mengglobal dan mengakar?</p>
<p>Hanya Syariah dan Khilafah-lah satu-satunya yang sanggup melawan hegemoni barat. Bahkan ketika Khilafah belum tegak sekalipun seperti sekarang ini, tetapi para pejuang Khilafah sudah berhasil membongkar dan membendung makar-makar para penguasa yang lebih banyak mengatasnamakan Kemanusiaan.</p>
<p>Apapun yang akan terjadi pada 2012 nanti, yang jelas ada satu kepastian bahwa sebelum hari kiamat akan tegak kembali Daulah Khilafah Islamiyah yang akan menjadi satu-satunya kekuatan yang berhasil berhadap-hadapan secara langsung dengan hegemoni barat. Daulah Khilafah Islamiyah inilah yang nantinya akan melindungi ummat Islam sekaligus ummat Manusia dari segala macam konspirasi dunia yang mungkin akan terjadi.</p>
<p>Dan akhirnya menjadi pilihan bagi kita sebagai seorang muslim apakah akan mempercayai rumor yang beredar atau mempercayai Allah SWT dan Rasul-Nya?</p>
<p>Bisyarah itu pasti akan datang.<br />
Apakah kita ingin memperjuangkannya ?<br />
Ataukah kita ingin duduk manis menunggunya ?<br />
Ataukah kita ingin menghalanginya?<br />
Ini bukan tentang kita,<br />
Ini bukan tentang kau dan aku,<br />
Ini bukan tentang mau atau tidak,<br />
Ini tentang sebuah janji,<br />
Janji Allah dan Rasul-Nya.<br />
Apapun pilihan anda, Bisyarah itu pasti akan datang.</p>
<p>Wallahu alam bissawab,</p>

<p><strong>Japanese Dance Exercise</strong></p>
<p>A special thank you to Yaeko Marlatt for teaching the residents a Japanese exercise.  They had fun learning the routine from Yaeko!</p>
<p><a href="http://bartonhc.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/barton-2.png"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-252" title="Barton 2" src="http://bartonhc.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/barton-2.png?w=114" alt="" width="148" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Cook-a-Long Pumpkin Cookies</strong></p>
<p>The residents had fun baking several batches of pumpkin cookies.  Measuring and mixing the ingredients brings back a lot of good memories.  The smell of homemade cookies can&#8217;t be beat!  They passed out the cookies to all the residents who are on the 1st floor &#8211; after all, baking is for sharing!</p>

<p><strong>Oktoberfest</strong></p>
<p>The residents loved the sounds of the Polka band.  They have a LOT of polka and waltz dancers.  The music was upbeat and so was the crowd!</p>
<p><a href="http://bartonhc.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/barton-6.png"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-254" title="Barton 6" src="http://bartonhc.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/barton-6.png?w=150" alt="" width="117" height="135" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Carving Halloween Pumpkins</strong></p>
<p>Everyone had fun cleaning out pumpkins and then carving them.  They especially had fun reminiscing about years gone by!</p>

<p><strong>ONE TOOL USED AGAINST JEWS CLAIM TO ISRAEL IS THAT THEY ARE NOT SEMITES. NOW SEMITES AS A RACIAL GROUPING ENDED WITH THE ABANDONMENT OF RACE THEORY AS A NAZI BELIEF RATHER THAN PROVEN FACT .THE ACCUSATION BY MODERN DAY ADHERENTS OF NAZI RACE THEORY IS THAT THEY ARE<br />
KHAZARS. ONE OF SEVERAL PEOPLES WHO ADOPTED JUDAISM. THIS MAY IN SOME EXTENT BE TRUE OR NOT.<br />
JEWS ARE OBVIOUSLY AN AMALGAM OF MANY PEOPLES. THEY ARE A MULTI-RACIAL PEOPLE. BIGOTS USE WHITE ASHKENAZI TERM QUITE OFTEN, THIS IS A BLATANT REFLECTION OF THEIR OWN WHITE CENTERED BELIEFS OF . SEPHARDIC JEWS, MIZRACHI JEWS, INDIAN JEWS, FALASHA ETHIOPIAN JEWS, AND CONVERTS FROM SOUTH AMERICA, THE FAR EAST SHOW A DIVERSITY THATS DETESTED AS MONGREL BY ARYAN PUREBRED TYPES. JEWS ARE NO LONGER A JUDEAN PEOPLE. THEY HAVE SEMITIC CONNECTIONS THROUGH CHROMOSOMES AND LANGUAGE.<br />
AND THIS A PATTERN GOING BACK TO  THE BERBERS, EDOMITES, AS WELL AS THE ANCIENT MOABITES. BEFORE THE TAMUD THE TORAH SHOWCASED THIS IN RUTH. SHE WAS A MOABITE WHO CONVERTED, AND DESPITE GREAT DIFFICULTY REMAINED AN ISRAELITE. AND HER DESCENDENT WAS KING DAVID.SO WHAT IS THE CLAIM OF JEWS TO ISRAEL? ITS SIMPLY THEY BOUGHT LAND IN ZION, CARED FOR IT A DEFENDED IT AT GREAT COST! THERE IS AND SHOULD BE NO BLOODLINE CLAIM TO ISRAEL OR ANY LAND.</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Folks, I just can&#8217;t get enough of Zion National Park. We had some rain recently and it washed the loose sand off of the rock and brought out some stunning color. Combine that with exceptional angular light from a low sun and the results had a special feel to them. For you technical folks &#8211; these were all processed using integrative techniques bouncing back and forth between Lightroom and Photoshop, exploiting the best features of each program. One of these was a HDR capture preprocessed in Photomatix Pro. I&#8217;ll let you try and guess which one.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>We woke on the second day to rain. The air was filled with the most intoxicating<img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_YMKfL_X5nig/SwHEA0EqTzI/AAAAAAAAAX0/qGhZyUOUISM/s288/IMG_3913.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" align="right" /> aroma of wet desert plants. The fragrance was a sweet earthy smell unlike anything Ihave ever inhaled. The rocks had a mystical appearance, wrapped in thick fog punctuated by sunshine.  The trees were dark silhouettes with vivid leafs contrasting damp trunks. Zion seems an appropriate name for such a place.  It has an enchanting quality, almost spiritual beauty.</p>
<p>Due to the rain, climbing was out of the question. We decided to at least do the mile approach to the beginning of the Narrows hike. It was a crisp morning, but the sun was out and walking kept us warm. I was giddy, singing and bouncing my way up the trail. The trail follows the Virgin River up the narrows, we stopped frequently to take photos. The mile was over before I was ready to be done. The trail essentially dead-ended into a rocky landing at a bend in the river.<br />
<img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_o23xFWSY6_M/SwGM5a8av2I/AAAAAAAAAeM/6ArczVk7Ofk/s288/DSC_5278Zion.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" align="right" /><br />
A few people were stepping lightly on the rocks here for a better view up the Narrows, which is a river with rock cliffs on either side.  As you go up the river, the Narrows become, well, more narrow. The rock walls become more close together, the dry beaches more infrequent. The ranger at the visitor center told us the water is about 40 degrees this time of year, and to hike it most people wear waders or wet suits.  You can walk up most of the river, but some parts are deep enough that people swim.<img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_o23xFWSY6_M/SwGNLUwRCHI/AAAAAAAAAek/O2qhVZrX5hc/s288/DSC_5364Zion.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" align="left" /></p>
<p>Standing on the edge of the river was nice, but we were amongst a growing crowd of  people. I couldn&#8217;t handle it, I wanted to see more.  We didn&#8217;t have the wetsuit or waders that the park ranger had suggested, but I wanted to do it anyway. Little persuasion was needed to get Jonathan to accompany me, and we rolled up our pants and just started heading in.  We crossed diagonally to the  other side which had a rocky beach, each wet to our shins. I looked back and another guy had followed us, but had slipped and was standing up unhurt, but soaking wet. I was grateful that my hiking boots kept me stable on the rocky bottom, but they were lead weights when wet.   The first crossing wasn&#8217;t bad, I was already numb and eager to go on.</p>
<p>Jonathan followed the rock out a ways and ended up waist deep. I decided to hike up<img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_o23xFWSY6_M/SwGNS3Ueg7I/AAAAAAAAAes/uYqq1vFn85M/s288/IMG_3935Zion.jpg" alt="" hspace="20" align="right" /> the middle and found it a bit shallower. We had crossed again and walked on dry land for awhile. The next  plunge into the water seemed to be much deeper. I ventured out in a few directions, but couldn&#8217;t find a route that would be less than waist deep.  We weren&#8217;t equipped to swim up this thing, so we decided this was enough. It was beautiful. We took a few more pictures, and carefully made our way back.</p>
<p><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_o23xFWSY6_M/SwGgBkjq1LI/AAAAAAAAAfY/fVI1XJR61BY/s288/DSC_5401Kristine%20in%20the%20Narrows.jpg" alt="" hspace="20" align="right" />We were soaked and happy. We walked more quickly back to the car so that we could change out of wet clothes and warm up.  Once we had on dry clothes, we sat on a warm rock by the river and enjoyed the sun on our skin. The wind picked up though and we jumped back in the car, it was time for us to head back to the warmer rocks of Vegas.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The day after all the hard climbing that Queen Rockstar did we decided our bodies could use a day off and we embarked on the three hour drive to Zion National Park. We arrived around noon to an overcast park. We really weren&#8217;t planning on doing any climbing while we were there, and we really didn&#8217;t know how long we&#8217;d be there anyway, but my curiosity decided it was worth the 25 bucks for the climbing guide &#8211; that we would at least return at some point in the future. I quickly became submerged in the book and started to see all the potential at Zion. Kristine was on somewhat of a desperate search for a pair of Native American earrings. The seed was planted when<img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_o23xFWSY6_M/SwGS-NT-tHI/AAAAAAAAAfU/IN6dUNj8Ba0/s400/DSC_5542Kristine%27s%20Earring.jpg" alt="" hspace="15" align="right" /> we drove through Bishop, CA and she saw the perfect earrings. She decided against buying them since they were at the gas station next to a casino and she thought that was a bit shabby and that she&#8217;d run into something a little more authentic. Well, she hadn&#8217;t up until this point and has regretting not buying the earrings ever since. The town just outside Zion had a number of Indian craft and jewelry stores, so while I drooled over the climbing guide she left me to wander and look for &#8216;the perfect earrings&#8217;. She finally found them after having lost all hope and it was at the last store that we entered at the end of the day that she saw them. It was love at first sight and her ears tingled with anticipation as she tried them on. I admit they were very much her, although nothing like the earrings she saw in Bishop.</p>
<p>That first day, we drove around Zion and scouted a few climbs, which made my finger tips sweat from just looking at them. They were beautiful, clean cracks with very few or no face holds. It was a type of climbing that I dreamt about but had yet to climb. We decided on climbing the following day and so that day we simply let the anticipation build while we check out the climbs. In the late afternoon the heavy grey sky parted and gave way to a sun that lit up the rock and the sky and everything. It was mystical. Zion has been called a Yosemite with the rock from Red Rocks, which is a multicolored sandstone. I totally agreed!<br />
<img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_o23xFWSY6_M/SwGMYuoJAzI/AAAAAAAAAdc/vlZa4z4sV7w/s400/DSC_5232Zion.jpg" alt="" hspace="28" align="middle" /></p>
<p><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_o23xFWSY6_M/SwGMbZW9AfI/AAAAAAAAAdg/kk0jYQNtnxU/s400/DSC_5244Zion.jpg" alt="" hspace="28" align="middle" /></p>
<p><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_o23xFWSY6_M/SwGMdr1HNXI/AAAAAAAAAdk/Hg3PraIfgHw/s400/DSC_5245Zion.jpg" alt="" hspace="28" align="middle" /></p>
<p>At night the wind picked up. We cooked an Indian fare for dinner and had to bundle up to stay warm. A beer a piece also helped, but the 4000 foot elevation at Zion was definitely much cooler than Red Rocks had been. While falling asleep I heard what<img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_o23xFWSY6_M/SwGNix3oKJI/AAAAAAAAAfA/s0FZwll9xYA/s288/IMG_3907Zion.jpg" alt="" hspace="25" align="right" /> might have been a few rain drops tickle the top of the van. I popped my head outside to assure myself it was dust or some other UFO, but not rain! I fell asleep without hearing any other suspicious sounds, but was woken up around 2AM to the sure sound of rain falling steadily. I couldn&#8217;t believe it. I thought maybe the rain was coming from a &#8217;snoopy cloud&#8217; that was only raining down on our van in an attempt to depress me. I guess it worked since I cried myself to sleep knowing the chance of climbing that day had been crushed.</p>
<p>The next morning I found solace from the grey somber clouds in warms pancakes, apple-sauce, an egg, and plenty of maple syrup.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I would love to know exactly how this picture came into being. What do you think was going through her head? It looks like there are several different types of sausages here. I looked around a little and I&#8217;m guessing that the Zion refers to the Kosher Zion Sausage Company of Chicago, Illinois. It&#8217;s no longer around&#8230;so maybe the mixture of a swimsuit clad gal draped and crowned in sausages doesn&#8217;t provoke people to eat.</p>
<p>From what I can gather they were also associated with the Sinai Kosher Sausage Corporation which was bought out by the Best Kosher Foods Corporation (in 1983) and is still operating in Chicago. The only other thing I found was <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a href="http://chuckmancollectionvolume8.blogspot.com/search/label/CHICAGO%20-%20BUSINESS%20-%20KOSHER%20ZION%20SAUSAGE%20COMPANY%20-%20MATCHBOOK">this matchbook</a></span>. So in honor of this girls bravdo why not go out and eat a Best Kosher link today.</p>
<p><strong>Update: </strong>Looks like <a href="http://www.bests-kosher.com/"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">B</span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">est&#8217;s Kosher was bought by Sara Lee Corporation</span></a> at some point and is no longer producing their products. I guess we&#8217;re out of luck here&#8230;maybe you could grab some Jimmy Dean links, they&#8217;re a product of Sara Lee&#8230;.I don&#8217;t  know, I&#8217;m stretching here.</p>

<p>«We have no dispute with the inspectors, they are our brothers«, explained Goldstein, pointing out that the moratorium had not been approved by the government but rather by the security cabinet in a &#8220;swiftie&#8221; worthy of totalitarian regimes, and hence not a legitimate Israeli law to be followed.</p>
<p>Civil administration inspectors attempting to issue stop-work orders around Judea and Samaria encountered settler resistance on Tuesday, with protesters blocking their entry from Kiryat Arba. Settlers also spread out along roads near Karnei Shomron and refused to let inspectors pass.</p>
<p>Residents from Shavei Shomron, Talmonim and Revava, were also successful in preventing the inspectors&#8217; access to the construction sites, though no violence was reported.</p>
<p>Tuesday, the Defense Minister Ehud Barak stressed that the security cabinet&#8217;s decision on a ten-month moratorium on new construction in Judea and Samaria will be fully implemented.</p>

<p>My comment:</p>
<p>Its sad that the Government of Israel havs given up Biblical Zioism. That is based on the Bible explaining that the Jewish people will return to the promised land, and bild on the Mountains in Zion.</p>
<p><strong>Ezekiel 36:5-8</strong></p>
<p><em>this is what the Sovereign LORD says: In my burning zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, for with glee and with malice in their hearts they made my land their own possession so that they might plunder its pastureland.&#8217;</em></p>
<p><em>Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: &#8216;This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I speak in my jealous wrath because you have suffered the scorn of the nations. Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I swear with uplifted hand that the nations around you will also suffer scorn.</em></p>
<p><em>&#8221; &#8216;But you, O mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit for my people Israel, for they will soon come home.</em></p>
<p>Now, it looks like the Israeli Army again will be forced to fight against their own Jewish brothers. Just like in Gush Katif, during the evacuation of Jewish land in Gaza, in a bid to get peace with Islamic terrorists. The bid failed.</p>
<p>The Government of Israel seems to fear Obama and the International community more than they trust their own God of Israel.</p>
