BOOKS: An Armenian's vision of the Earth's fate

JULY 11:
TITLE: "... and then I saw Him!"
AUTHOR: Rev Samuel Doctorian
Reviewed by Pravin Karunaivell
A TSUNAMI hitting Asia, skyscrapers in New York tum
bling, destruction in the city of London, millions dying in
China and India, the Nile drying up and dead fish all over
Egypt, floods throughout Canada and North America. And no
United Nations.
Now imagine this: angels, in all their glory, on Earth; and
someone, somewhere on the island of Patmos, getting a visit
from them in 1998.
Seven years ago, someone actually knew about all these
incidences - some have eerily enough, occurred in recent
months!
Dr Samuel Doctorian, in his book `... and then I saw Him',
says five angels visited him and revealed things that would
happen in the five continents they represented. One angel
told him that there would be disasters, starvation, many
deaths from hunger. The prediction included strong winds
like none seen before, earthquakes and the land going under
the sea.
Do some of these predictions sound familiar?
Doctorian feels he was told about the Dec 26 tsunami last
year and even the disastrous 9/11 happenings in New York.
And now, the latest ... the multiple bombings in the heart of
London which tore apart trains and peeled the top off a
double decker bus, massacring at least 37 people and
wounding 700 in the worst peacetime attack on Britain.
The past 10 years has seen more disasters than any other
in history.
One can see the natural disasters as either the natural
course of things or look deeper into the phenomenon. Is there
a divine message for us in all these tragedies?
Doctorian, who claims to have seen nine angels in all, feels
the disasters are God's way of telling us to prepare for the
future. But who is this Doctorian?
An Armenian, he is the founder and International Director
of the Bible Land Mission. He was born in a refugee camp in
Lebanon in 1930 and raised in Jerusalem.
At 16, while working as a shoemaker, he heard the voice of
God calling him to leave his shoemaking work and go into the
ministry. Doctorian heeded the call and has never looked
back since.
The 75-year-old has travelled to 126 countries, spreading
the Gospel of Christ and the revelations of the five angels. He
is married and has five children and six grandchildren.
The book also tells readers of another episode while flying
to Brussels when an angel visited Doctorian as fire threat
ened to spread from an engine to the rest of the aircraft.
`Suddenly one of the engines exploded. Everyone on that
plane was praying, believers and non-believer alike. They
were terrified.' Doctorian says he found a quiet spot and
cried to God for help.
`A hand gripped my shoulder and I thought it was the pilot
or stewardess, but I saw no one near me. Yet I still felt the
hand strongly grip my shoulder. Then I heard a voice say,
`Samuel, I shall save you and everyone on this plane. I shall
deliver you from this fire.'
Everyone on that plane, including Doctorian and his family,
survived.
The author also speaks of a woman facing the death
sentence for a crime she did not commit and how an angel
revealed the identity of the actual criminal.
Not sure what you think about this man?
Doctorian himself will be in Malaysia to share his ex
periences at the Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre on Sept
22. His visit is in conjunction with efforts to raise funds for the
Trinity Community Centre building project.
Those interested can contact TCC for reservations at
03-7784-2839 or www.tccpj.com.
`... and then I saw Him' is also available at RM28 at TCC.
Whether you believe what he says or not, the book makes for
an interesting read.
It may give some the creeps but is, nevertheless, food for
thought.
EXCERPTS from `... and then I saw Him'
FIRST ANGEL (ASIA): `I am the angel of Asia,' he said.
Then the angel said, `There shall be disaster, starvation -
many will die from hunger. Strong winds will be loosened like
never happened. A great part shall be shaken and destroyed.
Earthquakes all over will take place. The sea will cover the
earth. ... Australia will be divided, destroyed. Great part will
go under the ocean.
SECOND ANGEL (MIDDLE EAST): `I saw nuclear weapons
used in many of those countries. Smoke rising from ev
erywhere. Sudden destruction and men will destroy one
another. I saw the United Nations shall be broken to pieces
because of the crisis in the Middle East. There shall be no
more United Nations.'
THIRD ANGEL (EUROPE): `Suddenly I heard earthquakes
all over Europe. Countries that had no earthquakes before
shall be shaken,' said the angel. Suddenly I saw the Eiffel
Tower in Paris crumbling, falling down. Great part of Ger
many destroyed. Great city of London, destruction every
where. I saw floods all over Scandinavia. I looked to the south
of Europe. I saw Spain and Portugal passing through great
hunger and great disasters.'
FOURTH ANGEL (AFRICA): I saw the River Nile drying.
Fishes dead, stinking all over Egypt. Great part of the middle
of Africa shall be covered with water, millions drowned.'
FIFTH ANGEL (NORTH & SOUTH AMERICA): `The world
market collapsing with mighty earthquakes in New York. The
skyscrapers tumbling ... Great part of north Brazil covered
with water, the Amazon River turning to a great sea... Forests
destroyed and flooded, major cities in Brazil destroyed ...
