A major Achievement

Osama bin Laden is dead. The news media around the world is telling us when and how it happened. It took 10 years to bring to justice a most fanatical and dangerous person. He is considered the person behind the 9/11 tragedy at New York City on 9-11-01 that killed over 3,000 people unexpectedly. He is also suspected of being behind several other terrorist activities against the United States. His middle years were intensely devoted to very evil intent and actions, and that caused the death of a large number of people. And then it was his turn on 5-7-11. His own end was also tragic with his remains dumped into the sea to become fish food. It was a major achievement and a long overdue measure of justice. It was a very ignominious end to someone who God gave a fine intellect and wealth at his birth.

The path of fanaticism and terror has many types of endings: all of them bad. Osama bin Laden was considered the personification of evil. It was his ranting’s and ravings that inspired the plotting of the 9/11 disaster in New York, and also on the same day in Washington and Pennsylvania.

Osama bin Laden was a very, mixed up individual, and it was quite evident in his behavior over a very long period of time. He had no idea that his allegiance was to God and not Mohamed; that he was to follow and live God’s laws; that the Holy Bible was the only true religious book to live by and not the man made up false Koran; that God put him here not to be a fanatic terrorist; that where he goes after earthly life ended was not going to be in the company of 67 virgins at his disposal. But as soon as he entered his eternity he had a very clear and lasting idea. When he met God there, it was a most rude awakening. His ending here not only was earthly justice, it included eternal justice as well which he reaped during his existence here on earth. He fully realized that the man-made radical Islamic beliefs that he followed did not do him eternally well.

Osama bin Laden did not realize that his beliefs and life style were totally unacceptable to God. He did not realize no one can go wrong loving God and keeping God’s Commandments which includes loving our neighbor as we love ourselves. His fixation on radical Islamic beliefs and the daily plotting of terror was the opposite of what God wanted from his intelligence and wealth. He did not realize that nothing is lost in time, and that he would be judged by all his thoughts, words, and deeds in his eternity. He did not realize that he was assembling a very unhappy eternity: forever. When his end came so suddenly, he had no time to reflect on very long time of the misdirection of his life. He ended his life being considered the personification of evil. That was his major achievement. What a pity.
