Yes, a writ petition was filed seeking for finalising the MoP. It was dismissed holding that it can be dealt with on the administrative side.
It must be recalled that Mukul Rohatgi, then attorney general, refused to surrender the power of drafting the MoP to the judiciary. He was right when he said the preparation of it falls within executive domain. Accepting that position, the constitutional bench gave guidelines for drafting the same and left it to the executive to finalise it. Three of the four horsemen were party to this judgment. The last seal that has been broken is the unity of the institution.
If the institution is not united, cracks will appear and the power to protect will leak through these cracks. Several solutions exist. An agenda could have been brought forth in a full court meeting or even in the next conference of chief justices or maybe, even by a confidential letter to the President. If the President felt there was substance, he could have made a reference under Article of the Constitution.
Cutting ranks and going forward does not convey the right message because if the incumbent is to exit, the beneficiaries would be at least two of the four.
Unity amongst the judges who constitute the constitutional court is as essential as the independence of the judiciary itself. The institution is more important than transitory administrators. It is not for all to open the seals of the constitutional scroll. When opened in a forcible manner, the scroll itself may tear. It requires the touch and finesse of the Lamb of God.

Nehru, Iqbal, cricket and the question of Muslim identity. Globally, there were 3, conflicts between and The toll taken on humanity by pestilence and famine is even worse. Approximately 2. In famine struck Estonia, killing a fifth of the population. In nearly a third of the population in Finland died. The culprit was a bacterium known as Yersinia pestis that was carried by fleas.
Most likely rats, infested with these fleas, carried the disease to Europe and North Africa. Between 75 and million people died, more than a quarter of the entire population of Europe and Asia combined. In England, four out of ten people died. The city of Florence lost 50, of his , inhabitants. In March of when the Spanish fleet arrived in Mexico, the population of our southern neighbor was 22 million people. Eight months later only 14 million were still alive.
The culprit was smallpox. Within 60 years of the arrival of Spaniards in Mexico, the population dropped from 22 million to less than 2 million. The British explorer James Cook arrived in Hawaii in The Hawaiian Islands were densely populated by half a million people.
Cook and his men introduced flu, tuberculosis, and syphilis to Hawaii. Subsequent European visitors brought typhoid and smallpox. Within a few months about half a billion people were infected with it, nearly a third of the entire population of the earth. Experts differ on the number of people who eventually died, but they range anywhere from a low of 50 million upwards of million deaths.
First, God does not want you to get him off the hook. The judgments of the seven seal, seven trumpets, and seven bows are released by the Lord Jesus Christ himself or by one of many angelic beings who serve God and do his will. However, this does not necessarily mean that God should always be viewed as the direct cause of the suffering and death that falls on the earth. This leads to my second point. Second, God sustains differing levels of responsibility for the judgments in Revelation.
Take, for example, the portrayal of Christ as his Second Coming:. Common grace is the ministry of the Holy Spirit by which he restrains or inhibits or curtails the sinful and destructive impulses and actions of unbelievers. Much of the suffering and destruction described in Revelation comes to pass because God chooses to withdraw his preventative influence and allows the wickedness of man against man to manifest itself in its fullness.
This is very similar to what happened in the case of Job. But he did give Satan permission to afflict Job. Thus in each of these three ways God is still sovereign over everything that happens, but his sovereignty is revealed and expressed in different ways. In some cases, he directly pours out wrath. In other instances, his judgment occurs when he lifts the restraint he would otherwise exercise on the will of wicked people. And finally, in many instances he simply grants Satan free reign to wreak havoc on mankind.
But of this we may be certain. It would be easy, and almost understandable to give way to despair. But those who have known God and clung to Him—the very elect— will be protected. That is what Christ prophesied—and that is exactly what has happened in this end time. That proves we have to work very hard not to be deceived. We can be deceived so easily. Romans ; Galatians They had it but they are losing it.
Because of lawlessness. This is still in that fifth seal, the Great Tribulation. Now we come to the main sign Christ gave of His Second Coming. This prophecy has been fulfilled! Do you know that the true gospel of God, after being suppressed for centuries, was in fact preached around the world for a witness to all nations?
Do you know who did that job? This is the Greek word telos. This is speaking of the end of the gospel being preached around the world — after which we will enter into the time when all of these terrible events of Matthew 24 will unfold.
What did He say would happen next? What is this? That might have seemed far off when Herbert W. Armstrong first prophesied about Matthew 24, but now we can see it happening! The verses that follow are about the faithful people of God fleeing destruction— fleeing to a place of protection that God will provide.
This is more proof that God will in fact protect some. He said that unless He intervened, mankind would wipe itself completely off the face of the Earth!
Since that time, we have developed chemical and biological weapons. We can exterminate ourselves many times over! The number one problem we face is human extermination! That has never been possible in history until very recent times. We are now in exactly the position Jesus Christ prophesied about in Revelation and Matthew 24! This is the crisis at the close! More people should see that. More ministers should be talking about that.
There is no excuse: There are prophecies throughout the Bible that tell us that—over a hundred of them! Both churches are in the field, working away, but only one of them is going to be taken and protected—and the other is going to be left. All these horrors are going to spring on them like a steel trap! In Luke , Jesus warned that you had better watch for these prophecies. These signs are an indication of the fearsome things about to come next.
These are world-shaking events. It consists of those seven trumpets. That seventh seal includes seven trumpet plagues that God pours out on mankind. Joel says the Day of the Lord is at hand, as destruction from the Almighty. The world has never seen anything like the wrath of God that it is about to see!
