WHY MILLS' PRESIDENCY LASTED ONLY THREE AND HALF YEARS

WHY MILLS' PRESIDENCY LASTED ONLY THREE AND HALF YEARS
28.09.2013 LISTEN

Many are those who drew the bible into the death of President John Atta Mills to say all manner of good and virtuous things about him.

From 'Asomdweehene' to 'recling in the bossom of the lord in heaven' President Mills was projected by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to the highest realm of God which may be the envy of the Pope.

But what prevent the party faithful to delve into the reasons why our omnipotent president did occupy the hottest seat of governance for only three and half years?

Whether Mills died of what disease and in what manner in the Castle or at the 37th Military hospital or wrote his own epitaph before dying is not what matters to this writer. It is why he enjoyed the presidency for only three and half years and not completing the mandatory four- year term is what must agitate the minds of all and sundry for us all to have answers to this mystery of three and half years.

The NDC has calculated its own divine formula of the four JOHNS to confirm the former vice- president John Dramani Mahama as God's chosen one to lead Ghana into thy kingdom come. The calculation is simple: Taking the FOURTH REPUBLIC as the grid reference, ex- president JOHN Jerry Rawlings after his eight-year term as democratically- elected president handed over to JOHN Agyekum Kuffour who, after completing his eight- year term handed power to another JOHN- JOHN Evans Atta Mills.

Was it by a divine design that president JOHN Atta Mills had a JOHN Dramani Mahama as his vice - president?

There is no doubt that the late president Mills' sudden death brought about an unprecedented unity among Ghanaians to the extent that the largest opposition New Patriotic Party ( NPP) in parliament never opposed the confirmation of vice - president JOHN Mahama as substantive president of the republic of Ghana.

So from JOHN Rawlings to JOHN Kuffour to JOHN Mills to JOHN Mahama all within the FOURTH REPUBLIC period from 1992 to 2012 (20 years) smack of a divine interpretation; isn't it?

But does it give the interpretation that it is president/ candidate JOHN Mahama who is destined to win the December 7 elections? Or is it ordained by the oracles that Mahama is to rule only for six months after the demise of his -predecessor Mills and then..?

And then what? Do we have to bring in the bible for our interpretation and a peep into the future of Ghana, our presidency and the three and half years?

Yes! The time or period of three and half years play significant roles in God's plan for nations and mankind. And Ghana is no exception as Africa's version of Israel.

The Hebrew boy Joseph was incarcerated for three and half years in an Egyptian jail for a crime he never committed. At the end of the three and half years he was divinely released to become the second personage to the Pharaoh.

Prophet Elijah prophesied that it should not rain for three and half years and God did confirm that.

Coming to the New Testament, Jesus Christ who was preceded in birth by JOHN the Baptist for six months began his earthly ministry at the age of 30 and finished it in three and half years for him to face crucifixion.

Again during the siege of Jerusalem in AD70 by the Roman army during the rebelling of the Jews, God allowed for a stalemate in that conflict for three and half years and during this period Christians were warned to flee into Petra now the modern- day kingdom of Jordan-the very place lot and his two daughters fled to escape destruction in Sodom and Gomorrah.

The book of Daniel also emphasizes on the period of three and half years as being the rise and fall of the end- time Beast. The Beast -the prophesied soon -to -emerge United States of Europe, often described as the Last Revival of the Holy Roman Empire which would take over the world very soon.

The emergence of this wicked empire led by a dictator, probably a German would overthrow all democratic countries including Ghana and institute the 666 worship of the false prophet.

Daniel chapter 12verse 7 gives the period that this end- time power will last.'And I heard the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the stream; he raised his right hand and his left hand towards heaven and swore by him who lives forever and that it would be for a time, times and half a time.'

Where then does Ghana stand in this three and half years prophecy?

Ghana involved in Daniel's prophecy.
Ghana lies in the line of Daniel's prophecy. And not only is Ghana to have its democracy cut short by the Beast but most African nations and also nations in the oil -rich Middle- East.

Democracy will not thrive under the three and half years rule of the Beast just as democracy could not survive in Adolf Hitler's Nazism in Europe.

Destruction of nations
Prior to the soon -coming of Jesus Christ, God will bring about the destruction of all kingdoms and nations. The Arab Spring is a clear testimony and the economic instability in Europe adds up to the scenario. It is in preparation for the establishment of GOD'S HOLY KINGDOM on earth.

It is for this cause that Satan knowing that the time for his overthrow is imminent will gather the nations of Europe for a last stand against Jesus by invading the Middle -East to take over Jerusalem and the temple. 'And Africa will be at his doorsteps' so says the book of Daniel.

God is judging Ghana- the Star of Africa.
Ghana, the Black Star of Africa has been groomed and guided by God from ancient Egypt to establish the ancient Ghana Empire; the empire collapsed and God guided the people to travel down here to re establish the empire as a modern- day republic of Ghana.

The republic of Ghana since independence has had its share of political upheavals including military coups and a repressive revolution by no other person than the former president JOHN Jerry Rawlings.

By God's intervention, Ghana has become the beacon of democracy in Africa and his guiding hand has produced leaders bearing the name JOHN.

Like Pharaoh in ancient Egypt who God hardened his heart to oppress the Hebrews, the same God hardened the heart of the white -skinned Ghanaian Air Force Officer, JOHN Rawlings to usher Ghana into a repressive revolution unprecedented in our political history.

But when the time came for the Restoration of Ghana as a favored nation to uphold his name, God softened the heart of 'Pharaoh' Rawlings to let go revolution and accept democracy.

For 20 years God has used Ghana to spread his gospel by way of freedom of worship and also to lead the Gentiles in fulfilling God's prophecy of the Gentiles becoming the spiritual offspring of Abraham.

Through Ghana, God is going to bless the Africa Gentiles in addition to his beloved nation Israel. But the favor of God is about to be temporary cut off. God is about to punish Ghana for the sins of corruption, drug deals , injustices, ritual murders for power, occultism , greed and political opportunism by the people especially those in the helm of affairs of the nation that have led to the marginalization of the poor and the vulnerable. Ghana will not escape the wrath that God is about to visit on all nations. That time is here for us to repent and not to pay lip- service to God.

The Black Star to be removed
Though Ghana has prospered politically as compared to the other nations around us, the Black Star we worship as our national heritage has been a great error. The blackness of the star is what is giving us the dizziness we are experiencing as a nation economically, even though we are blessed with all natural recourses.

The Black Star is about to be lifted from us and replaced with a BRIGHTER STAR under the rule of Jesus Christ who is a representation of righteousness, justices and love .Very soon our today politicians, chiefs and all those who have had a share in governance and rulership in Ghana and other nations will be replaced. God is about to begin his KINGDOM on this earth with his own selected HUMAN-TURNED SPIRITUAL BEINGS from among the people.

These coming rulers will not belong to any political party or faction. Some will be resurrected from the grave and given their appointment. Party politics will soon become a historical relic and God will consign the mighty names we know now into humble and obscure places of the earth.

So here is the message for the JOHNS. JOHN THE BAPTIST was the last prophet who came to prepare the way for the SAVIOR. So it is that all the JOHNS since the FOURTH REPUBLIC as our Presidents have come to an end with JOHN Mahama finishing the THREE AND HALF YEARS rule of the late Prof JOHN Atta Mills.
