Date: Sun, 15 March 2009 11:00 WesternIndonesiaTime Subject: Another Shooting, Message Of Samson Alabama
Just one day before the shooting at Albertville Germany of 11 March 2009 that killed 15 people, another shooting happened in Samson, Alabama, U.S.A., on 10 March 2009 killing ten people and later on the shooter killed himself making the total of 11 death. The location of the shooting, Samson Alabama, seems like containing a message for me. Yesterday I immediately browsed the Internet to search for the story about Samson, and I found at wikipedia.org.
Samson, Shimshon (Hebrew: Samson is a Herculean figure, who is granted tremendous strength through the Spirit of the Lord. Samson's activity takes place during a time when God was punishing the Israelites, by giving them "into the hand of the Philistines". An angel appears to Manoah, an Israelite from the tribe of Dan, in the city of Zorah, and to his wife, who had been unable to conceive. This angel proclaims that the couple will soon have a son who will begin to deliver the Israelites from the Philistines. Requirements were set up by the angel that Manoah's wife (as well as the child himself) is to abstain from all alcoholic beverages, and her promised child is not to shave or cut his hair. He was to be a "Nazirite" from birth. In ancient Israel, those wanting to be especially dedicated to God for awhile could take a nazarite vow, which included things like the aforementioned as well as other stipulations. When he becomes a young man, Samson leaves the hills of his people to see the cities of the Philistines. While there, Samson falls in love with a Philistine woman from Timnah that, overcoming the objections of his parents who do not know that "it is of the Lord", he decides to marry her. After some disputes with his wife’s people, Samson killed some of them and attaches torches to the tails of three hundred foxes, leaving the panicked beasts to run through the fields of the Philistines, burning all in their wake. The Philistines find out why Samson burned their crops, and they burn Samson's wife and father-in-law to death. In revenge, Samson slaughters many more Philistines. Later, Samson goes to Gaza and falls in love with a woman, Delilah. Eventually Samson tells Delilah that he will lose his strength with the loss of his hair. Now the question is, where my position is. The name of Samson’s father, Manoah, sounds like combining my name Firman and the name of Prophet Noah. Considering that there had been two major floods after my failure with girls, the Asian Tsunami in 2004 and the hurricane Katrina that drowned the city of New Orleans in 2005, I could have been in the line of destiny of Prophet Noah. Combined with my name Firman, it could become Manoah, or I will become a father of someone with the strength through the Spirit of the Lord. Or, I am myself is another kind of Samson, with different kind of strength through the Spirit of the Lord. So who will become Delilah for me………

It is not easy to think that those two shooting spree, in Albertville Germany at 11 March 2009 and in Samson Alabama U.S.A. at 10 March 2009, had nothing to do with me. Because a few days earlier on 5 March 2009 following an announcement of a monthly religious gathering of my former senior high school friends, I registered myself to participate. It was planned to take place at Museum A. Yani, on 14 March 2009. Museum A. Yani was formerly the house of General A. Yani, one of the seven generals killed on 30 September 1965 by the communist movement. There were two versions about the incident. Communist version says that the killing of seven generals was to prevent them from doing a coup d’ etat toward the president, at that moment was president Soekarno. The non-communist version says that it was the communist who were trying to ease their way to do the coup d’ etat by killing those key position generals. What happened in that house on the night of 30 September 1965 was that a group of Cakrabirawa soldiers, usually called just "cakra", came there asking General A. Yani to go with them because the president needed to talk with him. Cakrabirawa is a special regiment of armed forces formed to guard the president at that moment, and later after the new government took power they changed to become Paspampres. When the general asked for a time to change his pajamas, the Cakrabirawa soldiers refused and insisted him to go directly. It caused the general to slam the soldier, and replied with the soldiers shooting the general to die. My name on the list happened to be at number 15, commensurate with the 15 victims of Germany shooting of 11 March 2009. And I happened to live in the house at Wisma Cakra that sounds rather similar to the Cakrabirawa that killed General A. Yani. Among the words used during the killing of General A. Yani was when the Cakra soldiers knocked at the door and the general asked "Who’s there?", the answer was “"We’re from Cakra, general……" So if I went to the monthly religious gathering yesterday, I would also become "I am from Cakra", because I live in Wisma Cakra. As if I would be in the position of "the shooter", and it would be against my consent to move out of this world without endangering my friends. Therefore I preferred to cancel my attending the event, therefore I was still in the position of "number 15" on the list, commensurate with the 15 victims of Germany shooting of 11 March 2009, in accordance to my consent to move out of this world to the eternity.
