D.C. rattled by area’s largest recorded earthquake

“There will be earthquakes in diverse places” Luke 21:11

D.C. rattled by area’s largest recorded earthquake

“WASHINGTON — The largest earthquake ever recorded within 30 miles of Washington, D.C., rattled the capital early Friday, waking many residents but causing no reported damage. The quake hit at 5:04 a.m. ET with a magnitude of 3.6, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was centered near Rockville, Md., the USGS National Earthquake Information Center said. NBC News reported that the quake was felt in the D.C.-area, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Amy Vaughn, a spokesperson for USGS, told WRC-TV that the quake was the largest recorded within 50 kilometers (31 miles) of Washington since a database was created in 1974. The previous record within that time period was a 2.6 magnitude temblor in 1990. “So this is pretty significant for your area,” Vaughn told WRC-TV.”

“Gloria Jackson, a police communications supervisor for the Montgomery County Police Department, said the department has received numerous calls about the earthquake, but that no injuries or significant property damage had been reported as of 5:35 a.m. ET. NBC News correspondent Jim Miklaszewski said he felt the quake for about 10 seconds at his Maryland home, which is located about 25 miles north of the capital.
“It started as a low audible rumble that built to a crescendo and shook the house and rattled the windows,” he added. NBC News colleague Tom Costello told TODAY that the quake reminded him of a “massive freight train” passing by.”

‘Holy cow!’ “Thousands of messages were posted to social networking website Twitter following the quake, with many people expressing surprise but not reporting any adverse effects. One Twitter user, @stevebuttry, wrote: “Quake didn’t disturb any of the tiny items in @mimijohnson’s shadow box, which can fall if you slam the door. Not that I ever do that.” Another, @olli85olli, wrote: “Holy cow … earthquake! 3.7 on the Richter scale. Nothing in comparison to others, but this is new for us in Maryland/VA.” Citing the USGS, NBC News reported that there had never been an earthquake centered within the District of Columbia itself.”

If the voters can’t wake them up, maybe an earthquake will. I hope they take the message to heart that greed, corruption, Godlessness, and craven personal ambition at the expense of a nation is not God’s best. In Luke 21:11 Jesus said there would be earthquakes in diverse places as a signal and a warning of the end time. Are we listening? Earthquakes are a signature of God and part of the vocabulary He uses to speak with His people. He uses earthquakes to warn, punish, and show His power. More on that here.

They undestand an earthquake occurred, but how many will translate that Language of God into a action? Or how many will simply say “plates moved and the earth shook”? How many instead will say, “We need to stop pressuring Netanyahu to divide Jerusalem”, or “We need to use our  power and might for God-honoring purposes”  or “We need to set aside some of our wealth to help the less fortunate.” Few, if none. Pray that the event turns some hearts toward God and that further the hearts seek after God-honoring actions that will please Him!

End times winding down, Tribulation soon, I think!

Conscious Convergence set for July 17-18 will call forth beings and realities they do not expect

Posted on by elizabethprata

Are you ready to converge? Become one with the universe? Co-create? No? Well, you, too, can be a god! On July 17! Try it!

On July 17-18 a world-wide event will take place among all those who adhere to the philosophy that we humans are participants in the creation of our reality. It is called the Conscious Convergence, and it’s organized by a former toxicologist, Dr. Carl Calleman. In a Youtube interview, Calleman said the event will unite those who get together to “manifest united consciousness” in which, they will be “climbing to a higher level of consciousness” and then they can “ask the Divine, ‘what am I do to to help this transition to unity consciousness, to help manifest the Divine plan?” or, “what does it take for me to be a co-creator of the Unity Consciousness?”

It is the height of arrogance to say that mere humans can ‘help’ the Divine manifest anything. The inverse of that is that the Divine is insufficient to execute any plan the ‘Divine’ has, so it seeks our help. And if it’s insufficient to carry out its plan, then it’s not Divine. That much is obvious. Of course, it begs the question, who IS the ‘Divine’?  That one is never quite answered.

But millions are enthusiastically preparing to join in and begin co-creating. What they intend to create is unclear also. Quoting from the Conscious Convergence page on Facebook:

“The Conscious Convergence is global event, which paves the way for the ninth and last wave of consciousness in the Mayan calendar system. It’s called unity consciousness. It’s also the end of dualistic consciousness where we are separated into East and West, male and female, black and white, spirit and matter and so on. In reality, we are all ONE with no need for separation.” So we all become muddy-colored hermaphrodites. No? What did I miss?

One adherent explained it this way: :
“The Mayan Calendar and its end date are not about an apocalyptic end of the world scenario. It is not about an event or a series of events that are just going to drop down from the sky upon us suddenly. It requires our active co-creation with it. The Mayan Calendar depicts a non-linear evolution of consciousness tracking from the Big Bang nearly 16 billion years ago to the potential completion of that fully evolved consciousness–interconnected unity conscious–at the completion of the Calendar.” Their long count calendar ends at December 21, 2012, but that is not the end of time, only of the long count. Another one begins after Dec 2012, according to the Mayans. In this explanation, it’s not called “Divine” but “Source Wisdom.” The Calendar can be thought of as a 9-tier pyramid with each ascending level of the pyramid going higher and being proportionately more condensed. That’s why Dr. Dalleman says this is the 9th wave. Since the human species is the only species that can be conscious fully of our own consciousness, we are the potential co-creators to align with the cosmic forces!” What cosmic forces these are, exactly, are never explained.

The Conscious Convergence web site opens with the following statement of intention:
Shared Intention Agreement

“I, as a sovereign being, join together with All That Is to call forth the presence of balance and unity within me and in our world. I am the conscious presence of harmony and reconciliation and I am grateful for the wholeness I bring forth in this and every moment. And so it is.” Sounds familiar. The Wiccans say “so mote it be.”

There it is in a nutshell. Sovereign. It all boils down to the one lie, for in the beginning the serpent said, ‘you can be like God.’  (Gen 3:5). And that lie has been going strong ever since, that we are sovereign beings. In believing that we could be sovereign beings, it means we are answerable to no one. This is a philosophy which appeals greatly to the sinful nature we all have. Some never recognize their true nature, to their eternal doom. But it is the most lasting devilish doctrine and the most effective. We are gods.

The bible is replete with warnings not to accept falsity in teaching, preaching, or the Word.

Beware false teachers
“As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God’s work—which is by faith.” (1 Timothy 1:3-4)

Beware false doctrines
“But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.” (2 Peter 2:1-3)

Do not be deceived
“Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.” (Matthew 24:4-5)

And yet, they ARE deceived! They follow hollow teachings which tickle the ears. “For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.” (2 Tim 4:3). And why wouldn’t ‘being your own god’ tickle your ears? Why wouldn’t thinking yourself a co-creator of the universe tickle your fancy? These doctrines elevate the self, whereas in a Christian’s world, the self is craven, dirty, and should be denied.

If you see a bunch of people meditating really, really hard on July 17 or 18, with wrinkled brow, trying for all they are worth to ‘manifest’ some kind of ill-defined reality, know that they will be successful, if doomed. For satan is the god of this world, and attempting to “call forth” other consciousnesses is an open invitation to asking satan to creep in and control your mind and your life. (1 Peter 5:8). Would that a person be curious about the wisdom and consciousness of God! Attempt instead to connect with His majesty and glory as expressed in His creation and by the strength of the Holy Spirit! We are not sovereign beings, and we manifest nothing except what our sin nature allows: and this fallen world is proof. If we were sovereign and able to create a different reality, don’t you think we would have done it by now?

Pray for all the people on July 17-18 following after these doctrines of demons and pray for their release from the bondage satan has then under. God’s Light and Truth is so much more powerful and lasting than any crumbly bits of non-linear, co-created reality our dualistic natures can conjure!

What came first, chicken or egg? Creationists say chicken. Scientists say…

Posted on by elizabethprata

Chicken!

For many philosophers the question “What came first, the chicken or the egg?” it is the ultimate conundrum. The answer is not known, they suppose, because it is a case of circular cause and consequence. Questions like that are impossible to answer because the consequence of the phenomenon is claimed to be its root cause. The same thing exists in science and engineering in which a parameter is required to calculate that parameter itself. Can’t happen, right? Wrong.

The creation of the world was not a scientific event, it was a supernatural event. God created it out of His mind and His power and His voice. Who can quantify that? But creationists know that the chicken came first. (Gen 1:20-21). Day 5. End of discussion.

(Above, Illustration from Tacuina sanitatis, Fourteenth century)

But that was not the end of discussion for generations of scientists who deny the bible and seek man-satisfactory answers. Well, they found their answer, and the answer is…the chicken! Circular, isn’t it?

The chicken came first, scientists prove
“But now they believe they have cracked the conundrum of what came first: the chicken or the egg. British researchers say the chicken must have come first as the formation of eggs is only possible thanks to a protein found in the chicken’s ovaries. ‘It had long been suspected that the egg came first but now we have the scientific proof that shows that in fact the chicken came first,’ said Dr Colin Freeman, from Sheffield University, who worked with counterparts at Warwick University.”

It’s nice when people seek knowledge about our world through science, but God does not need scientists to prove or disprove Him. He exists and He is sovereign, even over the ‘natural laws’ that scientists say govern the world. After all, He appeared through walls, particulate matter being of no consequence to Him. He walked on water, gravity being of no consequence to him. He fermented wine, time having no consequence to Him. And the best part of all is that His believers will be the same as Him after we are raptured/resurrected. We also will be able to travel through hyper-dimensions, walk on water, appear at will here and there. In the crowning gift of the Supreme God to His people, and in a final incidence of circular cause and consequence, creationists will be the ultimate scientists, knowing the answers to all things, having the power to explore universes, and a possessing mind capable of understanding it. The real answer to what came first is not that the chicken and the egg came first, but that God came first. He is also last. He is the first and the last, the Alpha and the Omega, and He created a universe with man in it, and set us free to explore  the tiny questions of the day like chickens and eggs, as well as large ones, like “How much does He love me?” Answer: a LOT!

Update on the Tampa sinkhole

Posted on by elizabethprata

The car that was swallowed by the surprise sinkhole at a Tampa Condo is now completely submerged. It’s gone, baby, gone. “A 1995 Toyota Camry fell victim to the crater, falling in and then being swallowed so that it is now completely out of sight.” However, a local Good Samaritan did offer to replace their car. As far as the Guatemala Sinkhole goes, they are so over it. They newspaper that broke the story refuses to cover it anymore. I liked the article, I recommend reading it, and the editor has an excellent point.

Things that make me go hmmm…

Posted on by elizabethprata

In the transcript of the Press Briefing with National Incident Commander Admiral Thad Allen July 13, 2010 regarding the BP efforts to contain the cap and squelch the oil flow, he said:

We just finished a seismic run through the field. About a 2.5 kilometer run basically from north to south with what we call the (inaudible) carrying very sophisticated acoustical sensors. That is intended to give us a baseline from which we can detect any anomalies after we do the well integrity test regarding anything that might happen with the sea floor or the formation moving ahead.[emphasis mine]

Yes it is always good to make sure the SEA FLOOR is stable enough to money around with putting different pressures on it, elsewhere… His statement reassuring the listeners and viewers coming on the heels of an abrupt cessation of well-capping is troublesome. To say the least. The Gainesville Sun noted, Government questions whether cap will make BP oil spill worse, and Rep Markey (D-MA) flat out said BP Stonewalling on Wellbore Integrity, Sea Floor Leaks. Yes, Rep Markey, we’re all wondering that.

Petra, Jordan, and God’s Mighty Love

Posted on by elizabethprata

Jordan and Israel’s relationship during the Tribulation is an interesting one. In researching the facts behind the Arab League for yesterday’s post, I learned that Egypt and Jordan are the only two Arab nations to have normalized relations with Israel. Jordan’s peace treaty with Israel was signed in 1994 with President Bill Clinton as mediator, between Hussein I of Jordan and Yitzhak Rabin of Israel. King Hussein, of the Hashemite dynasty, died in 1999, and his designated son King Abdullah II became King. King Hussein had guided his country through the Cold War and four decades of Arab-Israeli conflict, balancing the pressures of Arab nationalism and the allure of Western-style development against the stark reality of Jordan’s geographic location. He worked throughout his life to advance the cause of peace between Jordan and Israel (which he successfully achieved in 1994. (Wikipedia). Above, Petra, the Rose-red city. That peace will be broken, and soon.

Between 1999 and 2009 relations between Israel and Jordan have maintained the same level of respect and courtesy. However, that has to change, because Jordan is listed among the nations that attack Israel during the Psalm 83 war.

“With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you- the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites, Gebal, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre. Even Assyria has to lend strength to the descendants of Lot.” (Psalm 83:5-8). Edom, Moab and Ammon are today’s Jordan. Ammon is the capital.

Yet…Jordan is one place the antichrist is not able to overcome. “He will also invade the Beautiful Land. Many countries will fall, but Edom, Moab and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand.” (Daniel 11:41)

And…Petra in Jordan is the place the Jews flee to when the antichrist begins his persecution, and it is where they remain in safety, protected by God during the Great Tribulation and led out by Him to Jerusalem at the conclusion of the Day of the LORD. (Isaiah 63:1-6). Here is an excellent, scriptural basis for the supposition that Petra/Bozrah/Sela in Jordan is the place to which the Jews flee and are sheltered, I recommend it. “Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared by God, so that there she would be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.” (Rev 12:6) “But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.” (Rev 12:14)

So it appears that though peace has held between Israel and Jordan for over a decade, something will change to cause Jordan to pile on in the Psalm 83 war and attack Israel. However, Jordan will remain intact enough so that the antichrist will not overcome her.

Whatever that “something” is to change Jordan’s mind about Israel, it is happening now. These are but a few of the headlines from the last two months and are an indication that Jordan is becoming impatient with Israel:
King of Jordan accuses Israel of ‘underhand’ plot to thwart nuclear project.
King Abdullah accuses Israel of blocking Jordan nuclear bid
Report: Jordan queen rejects Hebrew translation of book

I thought that last one was interesting: Queen Rania of Jordan wrote a children’s book which is a bestseller, was translated into Arabic and English, proceeds of which are being used to renovate 500 Jordanian schools. However, she refuses to allow a translation into Hebrew, even though further sales will help children.

Obama and King Abdullah of Jordan are pushing Israel to accept a two-state solution, which would create a Palestinian State and divide Jerusalem. East Jerusalem would become the capital of this newly created Palestinian State. When you hear of the “two-state solution” that is what it means: dividing Jerusalem. God has something to say about that:

“I will gather all the nations And bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; And they have divided up My land.” (Joel 3:2)

A couple of further points before I reach my conclusion: Jordan’s full name is the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The Hashemites trace their ancestry from Hashim ibn Abd al-Manaf (died c. 510 AD), the great-grandfather of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The early history of the Hashemites saw them in a continuous struggle against the Umayyads for control over who would be the caliph (successor) to Muhammad. The Umayyads were of the same tribe as the Hashemites, but a different clan. This rivalry eventually would lead to the split between the Sunni and Shia. (Wikipedia). And we see the tension between the ever-widening split beteen Sunni and Shia Muslims today.

It is interesting to note that the Kings of Jordan claim direct ancestry to Muhammad. I speculate that this may be one reason that Jordan escapes the antichrist’s domination: he may not even try, if he is a Muslim as many suspect he will be. It also may be why the “Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan” commands so much respect in the Arab world. Today Hashemites have spread in many places where Muslims have ruled, namely Uzbekistan, India, Pakistan, Turkey, and Iran. Above, the cleft in the rock to Petra, at places only 9-12 feet wide.

The second curious thing before conclusion is that Petra is also known as Sela, which means rock. It is referred to in Judges 1:36; Isaiah 16:1, Is 42:11; Obad. 3 where Petra is known as the “cleft in the rock”.  Petra is also known as Bozrah, which means sheepfold. Sheepfold or sheep pen is an enclosure designed with overhangs or other protection from the elements, and is solid enough to keep the sheep in and the wild animals out. It always has one narrow gate for entry. Bozrah is the perfect sheepfold! Our Shepherd Jesus will protect His remnant during the Great Tribulation at Bozrah, the sheepfold, the Cleft in the Rock. It is there He returns at the Second Coming and becomes stained with blood of the armies attempting to wipe out the remnant, and leads them to victory at Mt. Olive.

God’s Vengeance on the Nations
Who is this who comes from Edom,
With garments of glowing colors from Bozrah,
This One who is majestic in His apparel,
Marching in the greatness of His strength?
“It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”
Why is Your apparel red,
And Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press?
“I have trodden the wine trough alone,
And from the peoples there was no man with Me
I also trod them in My anger
And trampled them in My wrath;
And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,
And I stained all My raiment. (Isaiah 63:1-3)

Finally, back at the beginning of this entry, I noted that one of the verses said of the Jews during the Great Tribulation that “Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared by God.” (Rev 12:6) In John 14:3 He promised His church that “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am”. All this time He has been preparing a place for the church believers. He also had prepared a place for His people, the Jews, to reside at Bozrah in protection and safety. He is a God who cares for His people, He prepares places for us. For US! And that is a mighty thing indeed. Hallelujah to the One True and Mighty God, who prepares for us a place!

Sinkhole in Tampa swallows car, forces evacuation of 11 families

Posted on by elizabethprata

Now this is something you don’t see every day. Or, lately, I think it IS something you see everyday. I’ve been reporting about the changes on and in the earth as evidenced by unexpected sinkholes, mine collapses, mud eruptions, explosions and cracks in the earth. Isaiah prophesies that at the last days the earth will crack up. Prior to that, the geo-landforms on top of the earth and underneath it will undergo catastrophic changes. Islands will sink. Mountains will collapse. It has been my opinion that these events as birth pangs are increasing in advance of the tribulation, making themselves more and more known, as birth pangs do. The earth as we see it will be modified.

Sinkholes are one symptom of a restless earth. This week in Tampa a sinkhole suddenly opened up, swallowing a car. The hole is 20-foot-wide, and 10-foot-deep. The hole continues to grow, say officials.

As for that famous sinkhole which had appeared in Guatemala in June, it’s still baffling geologists, not to mention City Planners. “Geologists baffled by what to do with giant Guatemala sinkhole, “Simply filling the hole won’t help, says Mr. Kasmarek, without first studying the geological makeup of the surrounding area to determine the underlying factors that caused the collapse.” This is a link to amazing photos of the Guatemala hole.

Biblically, we know that the earth veritably heaves and shifts during the Tribulation. Even during the lead-in of the end times we are told that there will be earthquakes. In SoCal, the recent earthquake has caused increased pressure, not lessened it. “Southern California faults are feeling the pressure Seismologists are increasingly concerned that the 7.2 Mexicali temblor on April 4 placed more pressure on faults around the Southland, resulting in increased quake activity over the last three months.” The Easter Sunday quake shifted the earth three feet. A mile-long crack appeared in the ground in nearby Mexico. Too many weird crustal changes are happening during the exact time Jesus said to watch for the birth pangs for us to ignore.

Spiritually, there is nothing more disconcerting than the very ground we walk on and trust giving way. If you can’t trust the ground you walk on, what can you trust? Jesus. Part of the intent of the end time is to shake us out of complacency, and show us in undeniable terms that the only thing we can and should trust is Jesus. Psalm 18:2 says “The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” When the very earth gives way under our feet, Jesus is the stronghold. He is the most solid ground on which we can ever hope to stand, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. “And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.” (Matthew 7:25) Is your life founded on that rock? Is your trust on that rock? Or do you go your own way and place trust in jobs, bank accounts, parents, vehicles, retirement, physical strength, intellect? Those are important but they are gifts from Jesus, Who is the rock from which all else flows. Place your trust in Him today, even if you are spiritually at the bottom of a sinkhole. He will lift you out.

On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand!

Village in Barbados suffers demonic attack

Posted on by elizabethprata

This merits attention because it seems to be part of a pattern, weird as it is. And it is weird. But not unexpected. See what you think. This is out of Edey Village, Christ Church, Barbados. It’s not the whole article but it is most of it. If you want to read the whole article click on the link.

‘Demons’ step in
RESIDENTS of Edey Village, Christ Church, called on church leaders to exorcise what they believe to be demonic forces that have invaded the small, close-knit neighbourhood. For the past two weeks, residents have witnessed uncanny and unexplained events which led them to believe that evil forces had invaded the community. While many could not describe what the woman actually saw, they said she immediately started speaking in a foreign tongue and became delirious. (Left, the villagers on their prayer walk) Her family, well- respected members of the community, quickly summoned two church leaders and a group of “prayer warriors” to their home. The church group spent two days praying around the young woman. A member of the church group told the SATURDAY SUN that the voice coming from her was not her own, but that of an old man. “We prayed for two days asking God to spread the blood of Jesus on the young woman and to strike out the demon. After much praying on the second day we heard her say ‘thank you Jesus’ and the demon came out of her body and she fell limp”. However, another young woman, who lived next door, also fell victim to the demonic forces. “She was sitting on a chair in her living room when all of a sudden she was lifted high into the air and thrown outside in her backyard. She fell hard on the ground and started speaking in a foreign tongue,” a source said. The church group also prayed fervently for this second woman. “By the time we were finished praying for her she had lost a considerable amount of weight and the demon left her body,” the source continued. But sources say at least four more people in the district were affected and, as a result, a street prayer session was organised for Edey Village last Tuesday night. The Saturday SUN visited the area and witnessed residents and members of the church walking through the small district singing and praying for almost three hours.

“Whatever happened in Edey Village happened for a purpose. We can’t question it. That was the wake-up call for this village. This was a quiet village, but it is not anymore. Edey Village will never be the same again. We pray and ask God for deliverance. God sends warnings and then the destruction. This is a wake-up call.”

In Barbados, 82% of the population claim Christianity. These people who saw and are reporting these things are well-adjusted, adult, citizens. And there are a lot of them who are witnesses.

Also in the news in the last two weeks there was a 23-year-old man who quietly sat watching a vampire movie and died. He even died quietly, and no one knows why.

Then there was the woman in Colorado who was not drinking nor on drugs who said she saw a vampire and screeched her car to a stop and backed up so fast she went into a ditch instead.

How does this relate to prophecy? It may or it may not, but this we do know. In Genesis 6:1-4, the fallen angels were on the earth and they “saw the daughters of men and were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. The LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.”

This tells us that the fallen angels (demons) were active and that they will be again just prior to the last judgment. They were busy polluting the world and they are again. God rendered judgment, stayed it 120 years so Noah could build the ark and preach repentance, but the Flood eventually came and destroyed the evil. He would allow the righteous 8 comprising Noah’s family to start over.

Then Jesus said to the disciples in the Olivet Discourse that prior to the imminent judgment of the Tribulation, the days would be like Noah (Mt 24:37.) This is a fact.

Also fact is that Satan is the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4). His demonic host is still following him. That they would appear as demonic entities or possess people is no hard task for them. After all, ‘Demons step in.’

Sunspot 1087 is gorgeous: signs in the sun

Posted on by elizabethprata

I’ve been watching sunspot 1087 and it is a busy one. It has been facing away from earth the last week, crackling the whole time, but the rotation is bringing it into view now. If it ejects another massive Coronal Mass Ejection, (CME) our satellites, electricity grid, gps, and electronics could be in for some interference. But isn’t it beautiful!

Note the inset, earth’s position. Source thanks to Spaceweather.com. “The active region could swallow our planet ten times over and still have room to spare. Fortunately, we’re 93 million miles away. We could still feel the effects of an eruption, however. The thicket of magnetic loops and filaments harbors energy for M-class solar flares. M-flares can heat and puff up Earth’s upper atmosphere, causing satellites to experience extra drag as they orbit our planet; they can also cause waves of ionization to ripple around the planet, disrupting radio communications. There haven’t been any big eruptions yet, but the magnificent magnetic field of sunspot 1087 has been restless, as shown in this time-lapse movie spanning four days.”

Spaceweather glossary says “there are 3 categories: X-class flares are big; they are major events that can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms. M-class flares are medium-sized; they can cause brief radio blackouts that affect Earth’s polar regions. Minor radiation storms sometimes follow an M-class flare. Compared to X- and M-class events, C-class flares are small with few noticeable consequences here on Earth.”

If you really want to get your doom on, read William Forstchen’s “One Second After” about the societal breakdown after an electro-magnetic pulse, and man-made version of a natural X-class Coronal Mass Ejection.

Meanwhile, I enjoy seeing the sun’s activity, knowing that the Lord our God created it, and also that He told us that there would be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars! He is creative and wonderful!

What do the Uganda bombing, Comoros Isles, and Gog-Magog have in common?

Posted on by elizabethprata

Ezekiel 38 and 39 are chapters that are set in the last days and depict a surprise attack by a dastardly coalition coming against Israel. The coalition attacks are on the verge of success when God Himself intervenes to save Israel. All the world sees it and knows what is going on. (Ez 39:27).

But before the battle ends, the LORD makes some promises, and one of them is that He “will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.” (Ezekiel 39:6)

Who are the isles? They could be The Comoros Islands, also known as The Forgotten Isles. Comoros is an island nation with a small but dense population on several adjacent islands. The illiteracy rate is well over 53% and the unemployment rate is 14%. The nation used to be known as the Perfume Islands because of their exports of ylang-ylang, an essential oil, and vanilla. Since the glory days of those exports, however, they have become one of the world’s poorest countries. Hunting, Fishing, and Forestry are the main industries, comprising 80% of the employment opportunities. Comoros is a nation of 98% Muslim adherents. Christian Comorans are not allowed to preach, witness, nor gather for worship. Comoros is a member of the 22-nation Arab League.

Now, the Arab League is an interesting organization in itself. If you ever wondered, like I do, what tiny nations like Ethiopia or Sudan can bring to a military coalition such as Gog-Magog with heavyweights Russia and Iran it is their Muslim heritages and their mutual interests as outlined in their international organization:

“The Arab League is officially called the League of Arab States is a regional organisation of Arab states in North and Northeast Africa, and Southwest Asia. It was formed in Cairo on March 22, 1945 with six members: Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan (renamed Jordan after 1946), Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. Yemen joined as a member on May 5, 1945. The Arab League currently has 22 members and four observers. The main goal of the league is to “draw closer the relations between member States and co-ordinate collaboration between them, to safeguard their independence and sovereignty, and to consider in a general way the affairs and interests of the Arab countries.” source

A few years ago President Ahmadinejad of Iran shifted from allying with Western nations through economic ties, to forging alliances with Muslim nations no matter how small, because the cement of mutual worship of Allah is stronger than political or economic interests. It is the ideology that draws them together. In looking at this map, it becomes apparent that many of the nations in the Arab League are the ones who ally in the Gog-Magog Battle (and/or participate in the Psalm 83 battle which precedes it). Map of Arab League nations:

However, Comoros Islands’ forgotten status is not forgotten to Iran’s President Ahmadinejad. Recently he reached out to the tiny nation off the south of Africa, and offered to strengthen ties as evidenced by the following headlines:

Iran strengthen ties with Comoros Isles
Ahmadinejad: Iran, Comoros support each other
Iran sympathizes with Comoros over plane crash

In the news this week is an even more ominous development.

Uganda attack shows strength of al-Qaeda’s Somali branch
“THE HORRIFIC bombings in Uganda of soccer fans watching the World Cup final marked a breakthrough for the Somali Islamist group al-Shabab. The movement began as an insurgency against a Western-backed government in lawless Mogadishu. In the course of the past year it has become a subsidiary of al-Qaeda, led by foreign militants. The despicable suicide attacks Sunday in Kampala, which killed 74 civilians, marked al-Shabab’s first operation outside of Somalia. It’s not likely to be the last. The danger posed by the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist network in Somalia has been growing for some time, just as it has in nearby Yemen. What were once local groups of militants are now commanded by veteran lieutenants of Osama bin Laden. In the case of Somalia, that is Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, a native of the Comoros islands who was one of the architects of the 1998 bomb attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.”

al-Qaeda’s Somali allies take fight onto world stage
“Somali allies of al Qaeda have taken their bloody push for power onto the international stage for the first time with a deadly bombing in Uganda that displays a well practised, publicity-savvy sense of timing and targeting. The Sunday night attacks that killed 74 soccer fans watching the World Cup final may point to weaknesses in security in Uganda, and perhaps other regional states also seen as enemies by al Shabaab, the group that claimed the attack, analysts say. Al Shabaab’s change of tactics to strike beyond the borders of the failed state appears to have been decided to press home in the most dramatic way its opposition to an African Union (AU) peacekeeping mission that it sees as Western-inspired. “This is clear evidence that the group has the intent and capability to stage international terror attacks,” said Henry Wilkinson, of Janusian Security consultants in London.”

It is possible that the Comoros Isles are in the thick of the struggle for Muslim dominance and part of increasingly friendly relations with Iran, main perpetrator of the Gog-Magog attack. Comoran native Fazul Abdullah Mohammed is described by International Crisis Group (ICG) as “commander in chief of al Shabaab.” al-Shabab itself is a subsidiary of al-Qaeda, now growing in strength and evilness in their deeds against the West. If indeed the Comoros Islands are part of the increasingly bold attacks on Western targets, flexing their muscles in preparation for the ultimate attack: Gog/Magog vs. Israel, then it matters not that they are 3,000 miles from Jerusalem dwelling carelessly. God has certainly not forgotten them. They can think they dwell in safety all they want, be careless, even. The fire God visits upon them will be just as hot as that which falls on the invaders into Israel, “and they shall know that I am the LORD.”
