The Rebuke
Son of man, why do human beings make so much noise?
What do they gain from noise pollution?
Nothing.
The Holy Spirit has said,
“People make so much noise, daily,
as if they do not know that I dwell in the silence.”
Son of man, tell the reverend ministers to rebuke against noise making.
I did not say that they should teach about noise making.
I did not say that they should advise against noise making.
I said that they should rebuke, rebuke, rebuke,
seriously, against noise making.
Son man, many people make noise
and refuse to stop doing so.
They do not know that evil spirits use noise
to make people backslide in spiritual growth.
Son of man, do you see all the music and video shops?
Son of man, the Angels of heaven came down with bulldozer,
and leveled down all the music and video shops
that are always making noisy vibrations,
booming sounds and bombarding music
into the environments and neighbourhood.
Son of man, do you see the trees?
Their number is far greater than the number of humanity.
Yet, the trees do not make noise.
Why then should human beings,
who are less in number
make noise more than the trees?
Son of man, do you see the sands?
Their number is far greater than the number of humanity.
Yet, they do not make noise.
Why then should human beings,
who are less in number,
make noise more than the sands?
Son of man, do you see the air?
Were you to measure the air into drops,
their number is far greater than the number of humanity.
Yet, the air does not make noise.
Why then should human beings,
who are less in number,
make noise more than the air?
Son of man, do you see the clouds?
The surface area covered by the clouds
is far greater than that covered by the sands.
Yet, the clouds do not make noise.
Why then should human beings,
who are less in number,
make noise more than the clouds?
Son of man, do you see the earth?
Were you to combine all the industries in the world,
their sum is not up to the size of the earth.
Yet, the earth does not make noise.
Why then should industries made by men,
which are less in number and in size,
make noise more than the clouds?
Son of man, do you know that the earth is an industry?
It is an industry because it produces the plants and grasses.
It is an industry because it transforms refuse into other useful products.
It is an industry because it makes plants yield foods.
You sow a piece of yam, only to harvest a big yam.
You sow a single cocoa yam,
only to harvest a bunch of several cocoa yams.
Do you now see that the earth is an industry?
The earth is far greater than the number of humanity.
Yet, it does not make noise.
Why then should industries made by men,
which are far less in number and in size,
make noise more than the gigantic earth?
Son of man, in many families,
people are always busy making noise.
They make noise by dragging their feet on the ground,
like foolish villagers without home training.
Son of man, some are even so stubborn
that when you correct them,
they start rebuking you,
instead of accepting correction.
Are they not deceiving themselves?
Because the evil spirits use noise
to make people spirit dwarfs.
Son of man, let the ministers rebuke, rebuke, rebuke,
seriously, against noise making.
Every form of controllable noise
must be mellowed down or silenced,
while efforts should be made to reduce
every form of uncontrollable noise.
Let the scientists go back to the laboratories.
Let them use research and development,
to reduce every form of uncontrollable noise.
Twice, an Angel of God has come down,
to rebuke against dragging feet on the ground;
against dragging shoes and slippers on the ground.
Silence is the abode of God;
and quietness, the gateway into His presence.
Son of man,
are the animals wiser than man?
No.
Then, why are the animals behaving better than many human beings?
When the fowls move, they do not drag their feet on the ground.
When the cattle move about, they do not drag their feet.
When the birds perch on the ground, they do not drag their feet to make
noise.
Then, why are human beings making so much noise?
By dragging their feet on the ground?
Observe the families, and listen.
All you hear is noise, noise and noise.
Individuals and groups make noise, by dragging their feet on the ground,
like lazy labourers, who are watching for the time up,
when thy suppose to be actively working for their payment.
People have now become so lazy that they cannot lift their legs.
Is this not a sign of ignorance?
Is it not a sign of being spiritually dead?
Is it not a show of lack of home training?
And a sign of laziness?
Son of man, warn the world.
They are making so much noise, everyday.
Thereby, they scare away the Angels from their midst.
And become stagnant, without spiritual growth.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
6 Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
Psalms 19:1-6
