The cryptic message in the letter to John

As usual, after work, John walked down the sidewalk to his apartment. As John pointed out, it was Dreadful, muggy, dry weather. He looked at the passing cars and the high-rise buildings of New York City. As soon as John entered the entrance of his apartment building, the first thing he decided to check his mailbox, not expecting to see any letter, since he has no wife and children, his parents have died, and relatives have forgotten about his existence. But John does not suffer from loneliness, and believes that we cannot understand the plan of the Supreme will in relation to each person. So John is sure that he has his destiny and his destiny, but he does not know his destiny and his destiny, because no matter how hard you try and no matter what you do, you will fulfill the plan of the higher will, because you do not know the plan of the higher will. Well, let's check our mailbox again, John thought as he opened the mailbox. To his great surprise, John found the letter, but he found a very strange letter, because it did not contain the address of the sender, and the sender himself indicated only his abbreviated initials "D. W.". Not understanding why the full initials of the sender were not written, John took the letter with him, because the envelope of the letter said "John be sure to read this letter." Puzzled, John went up to his apartment and curiously opened the unexpected letter. It was written:

"Hello, John! I know that you will receive this letter on 15 may 15 2018 year and you open the envelope of the letter at 16 hours 45 minutes. Do not be surprised how I know when you open the envelope of this letter …»

At that moment, John was looking with a frightened look at the current hour and minute on his phone, discovering the exact time written in the letter to when he opened this envelope of the letter. Then he continued to read the letter:

"...You will understand when we meet with you to make a choice that will change the fate of mankind. In order for you to believe me, I want to tell you that I know that you are working on the Chronos project»…»

At that moment, John was in a complete stupor from this read part of the message and could not understand how this person can know about what only John knows. John knew perfectly well that no one could find out about it. He was ready to believe in the most ridiculous explanations of the message in the letter: from the Zionist plot against him to the fantastic prank on him.

Then he finished reading the letter: "we will meet today, on the landing of your floor in 15 minutes at 17: 00. Wait for you.»

After reading the letter, John was even more surprised and decided to check this incredible message written in the letter, and went to the landing of his floor. As might have been expected, he found no one. But he was looking at the clock on his phone, which read 16:59. What can change in a minute?  John thought.

When the clock on the phone said 17: 00, something happened that John could not foresee. The whole landing sparkled with thunderbolts, and near the window there appeared a spherical clot of darkness, from which the humanoid features of an unknown creature were manifested. But soon John saw that it was an elderly man, dressed in a stretchy black suit. Then the whole storm show was gone, but the globular mass of darkness still existed. This man with familiar features to John said to him:

"Don't be afraid, John. I promised to appear at the appointed time and place, and I did», - said the old man calmly, unknown to John.

"Who are you?"  John asked, his voice trembling and his face frightened.

"I am You," said the old man calmly, emerging from a dark, globular mass of darkness.

"How can you be me?"  John asked, confused.

"I am your future," the old man said.

"Tell me what's going on!" – desperate John, demanding that the old man answers.

"All right, listen carefully! My name, like yours, is John Willis, or "D. W." for short, as it was written on the envelope of the letter, because once again I am you in the future. It was I who sent you the letter from the future, so that you would be convinced that it would happen exactly as it was written in the letter. As you may have observed, I came through the wormhole of the time machine, into my past – or rather, your past - to prevent the Apocalypse that resulted from your Chronos project. So you have to destroy all the blueprints and forget about this project, otherwise humanity has no future, " the old man explained.

- Someone to tell – will not believe! It turns out I created a time machine! Why did you choose this moment in my life?  John asked.

"You know the answer to that question because you were going to take your blueprints for the Chronos project to the government scientific organization Sirius, which will help you with your plans," the old man said, obviously.

"That's right, I was going there," said John, astonished.

"John, you must decide – either you destroy your blueprints for the Chronos project, or you doom mankind to destruction," the old man hastily urged John.

"Who are we to make such a choice?" Our fate is in the hands of a higher will!  John said indignantly, not wanting to make that choice.

«Perhaps that is the purpose of the higher will for you, perhaps it is your destiny that you should make a choice that will change the destiny of mankind." Are you ready to bear the responsibility for the death of humanity because of the time machine created by you, because of which there were black holes that destroyed our planet?» -  the old man confronted John.

"You have seen the sad future of humanity, and you ask me to give up my future for another future of humanity, to be left with nothing?"  John said.

«True. I don't have much time, as the time machine's wormhole will soon close, so my mission is to give you this information so that you make the right decision, otherwise I will make a forced decision», - the old man urged John.

- What's the solution?  John asked warily.

- I'll have to kill you...- calmly replied the old man.

"Then what was the point of all this talk?" Then what is the Providence of the higher will?  John asked, not understanding.

«The point is that you will fulfill your destiny anyway. What matters is whether you voluntarily fulfill your destiny or not. That is your choice,  - the old man concluded. – So what do you choose?"

"I understand." My destiny is not to fulfill my destiny, or I will surely die. Well, then I will destroy the blueprints of the project "Chronos". Just answer one question-what's in store for me in the future?  John asked.

"The future awaits you-that's your reward!"  - the old man said, and went back into the wormhole of the time machine, disappearing into thin air.

Then John went back to his apartment, having fulfilled the Providence of the higher will, because he did not know the Providence of the higher will, for he did not know that the Providence of the higher will was to make his choice, and he made his choice.
