“..Wat is die mens dan
dat U aan hom dink,
die mensekind dat U na hom omsien?
U het hom net ‘n bietjie minder as ‘n hemelse wese gemaak
en hom met aansien en eer gekroon,
U laat hom heers oor die werk van u hande,
U het alles aan hom onderwerp:….”
– Verse 5 – 7 van Psalm 8.

5 You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet:

Wat was die Skepper se verwagting?
Liefde
Dit omsluit immers absoluut alles – ‘n hart wat omgee en versorg – die skepping in geheel – letterlik elke greintjie van die skepping, maar in die eerste plek die mens self: die naaste

Genocide is violence that targets individuals because of their membership of a group and aims at the destruction of a people.[a][1] Raphael Lemkin, who first coined the term, defined genocide as “the destruction of a nation or of an ethnic group” by means such as “the disintegration of [its] political and social institutions, of [its] culture, language, national feelings, religion, and [its] economic existence”.[2] During the struggle to ratify the Genocide Convention, powerful countries restricted Lemkin’s definition to exclude their own actions from being classified as genocide,[3][4] ultimately limiting it to any of five “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.[5] While there are many scholarly definitions of genocide,[6] almost all international bodies of law officially adjudicate the crime of genocide pursuant to the Genocide Convention.[7]Genocide is violence that targets individuals because of their membership of a group and aims at the destruction of a people.[a][1] Raphael Lemkin, who first coined the term, defined genocide as “the destruction of a nation or of an ethnic group” by means such as “the disintegration of [its] political and social institutions, of [its] culture, language, national feelings, religion, and [its] economic existence”.[2] During the struggle to ratify the Genocide Convention, powerful countries restricted Lemkin’s definition to exclude their own actions from being classified as genocide,[3][4] ultimately limiting it to any of five “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.[5] While there are many scholarly definitions of genocide,[6] almost all international bodies of law officially adjudicate the crime of genocide pursuant to the Genocide Convention.[7]

Ek is reg agter die ligblou Porsche Cayenne by die robotkruising. Vodde “Abraham America” staan met sy verfrommelde ou wegneem- koffiebekertjie en vra vir ‘n aalmoes. Die robot skakel na groen en hy probeer uit die pad kom. Die Porsche lê op die toeter en swaai na ou Abraham asof om hom plat te ry.
Wat het van die mens geword? Een ongelooflike siek gemeenskap – terminaal.
Sonder enige twyfel die grootste verraaier van die heelal – kan net wonder wat die Groot Skepper van al hierdie dinge sê. Wat beplan hy vir ons, die skuldiges? Hoe lank voordat Hy besluit om ‘n einde hieraan te maak- soos om ‘n vlieg met een klap uit te haal. Of gaan dit aan onsself oorgelaat word om die vernietiging te voltooi?
Dit bly Ewige Verraad. Die Einde.
