on july 7th 1977 at 7 o'clock the universe as we know it would either cease
to exist or change into something even more bizarre. A theory has it that
the latter happened :-) - or something.....
which gives me an opportunity to check the lyrics:

(what will be left over, right ?)
When the two sevens clash

My good old prophet Marcus Garvey prophesize, say:
Santiago de la Vega and Kingston is gonna read (?)
(does he sing "read" ? and what does this ine mean ?)

And I can see with mine own eyes
It's only a house and skin that divide
(housing scheme ?)

Serious apocalyptic shit. If you were alive in 1977 be thankful it
didn't happen.

Also those that weren't alive yet have reason to be be thankful, I'd say...

Usually government housing -- like a project or development.

that means literally "planned housing", what we in the states refer to as
"projects". some can be rightly classified as tenement slums.

so what hes saying is that its only where one lives that divides people from
each other and maybe further its
the governments fault for putting people into artificial neighborhoods
created by these projects..

In the 70's (& perhaps up to now) the political party in power would set
up housing projects in the Kingston neighborhoods that supported it, and
hire supporters of the party for the construction jobs...oftentimes the
baddest gunmen for the party would get the choicest work...needless to
say it caused a lot of infighting and bad blood...

St. Jago de la Vega was the original name of Spanish Town under
the Spanish.

St Jago de la vega....aka Spanish Town.
Capital of the largest parish in Jamaica and the former Capital on the
Spanish held Jamaica.
It was practically neglected after the English captured the Island from
Spain

By the way, it was 4 sevens that "clashed" on 7/7/77. Pretty uneventful day.

if joseph hill didnt mention this then i dont think
people would have given this too much attention. its just that
joseph hill can move peoples butt and make them twiddle
their thumbs that they acknowledge this two 7s clash bit.

i believe mr. hill didnt think this should be taken seriously.
it just happened to make a cool thing to sing about.

It was "judgement day" as prophesized by Joseph Hill of Culture.

It's also where the band "The Clash" got their name

Joseph Hill no doubt made reference to the date july 7th 1977, in his song two
sevens clash......here's something else I found interesting about that date, in
reference to the buddist lord Maitreya...believed by many to be the next
antichrist, he is said to have been materializing and dematerializing all over
the planet..popping up in diverse places preaching human brotherhood and then
departing as mysteriously as he arrived......


"On July 7th 1977, Maitreya Himself informed us that His body of
manifestation---the Mayavirupa---was totally complete, that He had
'donned' it, and that His Body of Light (His Ascended Body) was now at
rest in His mountain Centre in the Himalayas. On July 8th, we were told,
the Descent had begun. On Tuesday, July 19th, my Master told me that
Maitreya had now arrived in His 'point of focus', a well-known modern
country. I had a lecture meeting that night at Friend's House, but was
told to keep the informatig,
acclimatising Himself, FOR THREE DAYS, and that on that day, July 22nd,
His Mission had begun..."

Nobody knows when and where he was born, although of course he and his
followers claim that he 'manifested' into his present body on July 7,
1977 while at his retreat in the Himalayan mountains.

the next antichrist ??? who was the first then ?
joke aside; Maitreya is the cosmic name of the entity we in the west call
Christ
, himself aspiring to become a Buddha (title, not name)
anti-himself ?? well, he must have the power to do that :-)
