Y2K - Myth or Reality
© Copyright 1999 - by Jim Pool

On Friday, December 31, 1999, we will, as a nation, be celebrating not only the end of a very successful year, but also the end of a decade of financial prosperity, the end of a century of technology revolution, and the end of a millennium of human relations.

The celebration will not be one of only waving flags and blowing horns to welcome in the new year.  It will also be one of fear of what might be and repercussion over what should have been.  Those who do not have faith in God and in mankind will attempt to bring true the predictions that services will end, goods will be unavailable, mass confusion will prevail, and society will breakdown.   They will take the opportunity to riot, to ruin, and to run in fear that a lack of faith has built.

"Be Prepared!" cry the predictors, "For the world will not be as we expect".  That in itself is an oxymoron.

The computer has been blamed as the cause for the "Y2K problem", but WE have created the computer, WE can choose to restore its faulty logic, and WE can get on with the next day, the next year, the next decade, the next century, ... for it is but a binary device.  But where is the flaw?

As we cower in anticipation, WE are expecting THEM to do all the doing, WE are not creating Godly family units, WE are not restoring our faulty logic, WE are not prepared to have faith in mankind, and We have not given ourselves to God to do His will.  We instead expect man's creations, both mechanical and human, to fail us. Computers will do as instructed by man, but man will choose to sin if God is not in his life.

On Friday, December 31, 1999, let us celebrate the end of confusion, a new direction in our lives for we see God in our future, the wonderful things that God has done, is doing, and will do.  Let us come together for the purpose of drawing families into Godly units, repairing our faulty logic, and thanking God for being there.  For this is the beginning of a new year and not the end.
