Introduction

The world today is desperately troubled because of its fundamental lack of basic understanding and common sense. Life is too complex with too many pressures, obstacles and temptations. People running helter-skelter pressed with a thousand minor cares, trying to attend to various issues affecting their lives. One must know where they are going, have the uncompromising desire to get there and be in possession of the required tools for move on. We the future generation therefore, need to espouse the true values by which we must live if we are to solve our massive problems and the other dilemmas that threaten to overwhelm us. Despite living in a period of information overload, people, still can not tell the signs of the times and therefore, unable to predict the future.

Consider the calamities that are befalling many nations of earth today; wars and rumours of wars, nation rising against nation, kingdom against kingdom, famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains and the signs of the the end of the age.

When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately people say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. And when the south wind blows, they say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. We hypocrites know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that we can not interpret this present time? We have eyes but we can not see. We have ears but we can not hear!

The world is in turmoil. We are living in perilous times. It is by understanding the present that the future can be predicted. The present can be understood only by studying the past. We need the foundation of knowledge. We are nearing Melchizedek's day!

We The Future Generation provide a forum for all members of the next generation to air their views, ideas, suggestions and comments about the type of future society they would like to have and how they can contribute in determining their destiny.

We are dedicated to inspiring readers to care more deeply and act on behalf of the future generation.
Read up-to-date news stories, features and articles relevant to every day life and the real life challenges people face in society today.

It has begun and one day it will end. They say a journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. Masumbuko has lived for about half a century. Yet he has had so much experience in this life, which he deems necessary to share with the rest of mankind before sunset.

It is a sad story about man and all that he goes through under the sun during the few and meaningless days he passes through like a shadow. 

There is nothing new under the sun. What has been will be again, and that what has been done will be done again. Masumbuko gives an insight into things that have been, some currently taking place under the sun and some yet to happen in future as they were predestined before the earth's foundation was laid.

It is written, That man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: Sounds new? Maybe! But this is nothing new under the sun.

This requires the foundation of knowledge. The world is in turmoil. We indeed are living during the perilous times.

           Black History Month (BMH) 2011-Africa Calling!

The remembrance has its roots in 1926 by United States historian Carter G. Woodson as "Negro History Week". Woodson chose the second week of February because it marked the birthdays of two Americans who greatly influenced the lives and social condition of African Americans: former President Abraham Lincoln and abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass. Woodson also founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, now the Association for the Study of African American Life and History.
