Nicanor's Family and Friends:

I didn't know your dead love one, but I'm sure he was a wonderful person. I would like to give my condolences. The governments of this world are not ruling as they should. In the Bible at Daniel 2:44 it says: "The God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, (govenments) and it itself will stand to times indefinite. Peoples of all the earth will be united under one righteous govenment-God's Kingdom. God will fulfill his promises through the second most powerful person in the universe-the resurrected Jesus Christ. Mankind will no longer be governed by human kings, presidents, or politicians. They will be ruled by one King and one govenment-the Kingdom of God. May peace and comfort be with you. I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
