I am not a practicing spiritual person. I consider myself a faithful person.

For a long time now, I have wondered about divine matters. I don’t think I am alone.

I have tried to understand history as well as the history of spirituality and the understanding of divine matters.

I have seen traditional believers as well as traditional leaders about spirituality.

One of them was a Borana man called Dabassa Guyo. I met him many years ago when he was traveling to international traditional meetings. I don’t know his whereabouts at this time.

As a scientist, I tried to sift through his traditional knowledge to gain a scientific signal in a long held tradition of the Borana people of Ethiopia.

One scientific signal I heard from him has stuck with me ever since. He said ነምን ህን ሶበ፣ ኡርጂን ህን ሶቡ።

It means that a person lies, a star doesn’t lie.

He also told me that the Luo people of Kenya to which the father of the former U.S. President Barack Obama was born are among the group of people that are knowledgeable about divine matters.

I recently learned for the first time that Welayita, the name of the people to which the former Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Hailemariam Desalegn, was born means የእዉነት ኣንድነት።

It means unity in truth.

I am one of the former college students of the former Prime Minister of Ethiopia.

Ever since I learned the meaning of Welayita with admiration, I have wondered about the genesis of the name and if it embodies a traditional understanding about divine matters.

The former Prime Minister of Ethiopia is in a far better position to answer this question than I can ever do.

If I am not mistaken, he is a practicing Protestant Christian in Ethiopia.

I am with whom I consider the first Ethiopian Renaissance man, the late Ethiopian Laureate Tsegaye Ghebremedhin who wrote the African Union’s anthem.

I learned the meaning of Welayita from what the late Ethiopian Laureate wrote more than fifty years ago.

By definition, an Ethiopian Renaissance man and a practicing Ethiopian Protestant Christian would be on different pages of both divine matters and history.

By another definition, an Ethiopian cannot become a practicing Protestant Christian without abandoning age old local knowledge about divine matters.

I have been wondering for a while now about the traditional knowledge of the Borana, Welayita, and Luo people of East Africa.

I wonder very much because my life experience informs me that they work in very mysterious ways.

The legacy of the former Prime Minister of Ethiopia appears to me a very clear example of the mysterious ways of divine matters about the unity of truth or a deviation thereof.

As I kept wondering for a while now about divine matters, I recently read about a New World Order that was established in 1727 in Britain.

Reading about this kind of establishment by humans has compounded my wonderment about divine matters.

The U.S. declared independence from Britain in 1776, which was less than fifty years after the establishment of the New World Order.

This has compounded my wonderment further.

Presumably, an imagination to establish a New World Order either assumes that divine matters don’t exist or don’t matter or that they can be relegated to no existence.

Here is where my faith that they exist conflicts with the human imagination that they don’t exist or they don’t matter.

In self doubt that I couldn’t be right if all the people running the world are right, I tried to gain a counsel of Renaissance men.

The first one was Da Vinci.

He is credited to have said the following: “I have offended God and mankind by doing so little with my life.”

My self doubt became less.

Then I referred to what arguably the foremost American student of Renaissance, Thomas Jefferson, had to say about divine matters.

He said: “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.”

My self doubt became far less.

Then I remembered the words of the greatest Renaissance man of them all. He is the late Ethiopian Laureate Tsegaye Ghebremedhin for whom I have an extreme bias.

He wrote the following words more than fifty years ago.

ቃሉ የማይቀለበስ ቃሉ
ለካ ኣንተ ነህ!

One of the sources of my extreme bias is that I reached the same conclusion some twenty years ago without any knowledge of his work some fifty years ago, which became his Eureka moment.

We both reached the exact same Eureka moments without any knowledge of the other’s work.

For all practical purposes, his Eureka moment has rewritten the New Testament because the same historical figure cannot be praised and condemned at the same time in the same religious book.

I know of no other person who has written so clearly in so few words about rewriting the New Testament. I stand to be corrected if there is any other person who has done so and remove my extreme bias in his favor.

Rectifying the fallacy in the New Testament is for future generations to deal with in order to remove such a colossal misrepresentation in none other than a religious book.

I have come to terms with my self doubt about divine matters and divine providence. I am not alone because these Renaissance men haven’t given me any clue that divine matters don’t exist or don’t matter.

As a matter of fact, all of them exalted them.

I have little idea if both former U.S. President Barack Obama or former Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn have studied about the traditional knowledge of the Luo and Welayita people, respectively, and how much equity they might have among the Renaissance men and the greatest scientists.

Now that the world knows that something called the New World Order exists, the battle for eternity would be whether to recycle such a diabolical order or decouple worldly governance from divine providence.

I don’t think that neither a college dropout out who fails to admit to losing a scientific debate or a bright professor who shockingly admires a new revelation could do it if they may not be in a position to read and understand the mysterious ways of divine matters.

They are in abundance once you start to read and understand how they reveal themselves.

Memories of them have been retained in traditions by different names such as ራጂ፣ ተዓምር፣ and miracle. They are not in any human beings control and they are unpredictable.

Who in the world should believe what I read by way of ራጂ፣ ተዓምር፣ and miracle?

Any human being in the world would be my honored guest to prove me wrong about them and help me get over them or be helped back to believing in divine matters.

If you ask me, the former Ethiopian Prime Minister, Hailemariam Desalegn, himself is in a ራጂ።

It may have a different name in Welayita language.

There are traditional interpreters of ራጂ who are known as ዋ ቤካ።

Having observed one ራጂ about the former Ethiopian Prime Minister, I can only speculate if there is a divine presence among the Welayita people which is fighting back not to be abandoned. If so, divine judgment gets compounded if not addressed and reckoned with.

This is merely one example that can be proven wrong or right.

I can only imagine how many of them may be on a global scale.

Is it possible that divine providence has been battling human made New World Order?

I do not think that political leaders that are interested in self-aggrandizement at the expense of divine matters can answer this basic question for eternity.

I doubt the divine providence that is battling against the ways devoid of divine matters reveals to them its mysterious ways before hand.

Do you have a simple answer, Abere?

This is a very simple example of what I mean by divine matters are unpredictable.

Answering this three word short question correctly might become one of their definitions from genesis to eternity.

So, can you provide a simple YES or NO answer for this short question?
