ETA, Thank you once again for keeping us up to date on these things. There a few articles floating around about the comet Honda, a snow moon and a lunar eclipse on the same night. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/new-year-comet-lunar-eclipse-12536304 .
I’m sure that you USA Types who have been watching the news caught the violence, destruction and criminal rioting at UC Berkly last night …. it’s just an escalation of what we have seen from the Left since last Summer. Couple that with what’s going on in DC … Rancor not seen since 1860 … Much WORSE than 1860 in many respects if you include the international scene and the modern loss of Faith, Civility and Traditions even among the, so called, upper crust of society. Just ’cause Trump is rattlin' a bunch of cages is no reason to be singin’ “Happy Days”! Trump may in fact be the “catalyst” that lights the fuse … here and abroad for The 2017 Unpleasantness! PRAY, PREPARE-n-PLAN …. and keep your powder dry. Here are the “Takes” from two smart guys: “America’s Second Civil War” http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2017/01/24/americas_second_civil_war_132880.html Is Europe with the implosion of the EU and Islamic Invasion any better off ... I think not!! “Opinion: James Rickards says Donald Trump can’t stop the next financial crisis” http://www.marketwatch.com/story/ja...ant-stop-the-next-financial-crisis-2016-12-22 GOD SAVE ALL HERE!! PS: I’ve come to believe that Pope Francis is some kind of fuse lighting “Catalyst” as well …. but....GOD WILLS IT!!
Clare--I believe the answer is quite simple. Sin darkens the intellect and the further we go into sin the less we are able to discern the good. Plato knew this before Christianity came. They have given their minds over to darkness without realizing it. Hatred, especially this vile and destructive anger, is never of God. It has a diabolic color to it. Even in ordinarily nice people. I have an elderly neighbor I stopped to visit--she had knee surgery--and I brought her some chowder and some soup and visited with her. She started a rant against Trump. I sat there calmly and then I said, "I don't listen to the news. I find it is way too angry. It gives me a stomach ache." She backed off, but it seems to me that as nice as she is, she drank the cool aid somewhere along the line. God have mercy on all Christian souls" as Shakespeare would say.
Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. Peace be with you all. Remember what the Lord told Daniel, that in the end times the wicked will become more wicked, without understanding of what is going on, but those who will have wisdom will understanded all. Remember scriptures also said that all wisdom is in Christ Jesus. Blessings to you all through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Cool pics....well, maybe not so "cool"! Will such events be necessary to form the "new" earth? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/02/science/hawaii-lava-stream.html?_r=0
Crew Dog, thank you for the pertinent articles. I have had some strong feelings (fear?) regarding what Trump has managed to do in just 2 weeks..."breaking news" has almost become an hour by hour string of the latest undiplomatic move the "administration" has made. I was very pleased previously, hoping the world would once again be able to see the U.S. as a moral country. Now, what to think?...we seem to be getting closer by the day to something potentially very dangerous. Do you care to write any further thoughts you have???
Hi Elly, I started my AF career flying B-52s in the Old Cold War Days at the end of the Vietnam War. As bad as things were then they are far worse & dangerous now in my opinion .... and for any number of Domestic & Foreign reasons! ... USA & Old Christendom. It may very well come, soon, an horrendous time not seen in the US since 1865 and Europe since 1945. We in the USA are not the same people we were just a generation ago ... and the change ain't been positive for the most part. Same-same for the EU. Pray, Prepare and Plan is and has always been sage advice for unpleasant times. Safety in numbers with like minded prepared people has always been the key to survival throughout history. The 21st Century will be no different. GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
Did anyone notice this? It may have already been posted. https://www.thenation.com/article/the-doomsday-clock-is-now-at-two-and-a-half-minutes-to-midnight/
The reason they claim the authority to imply these things is the reason I don't believe them. Even Our Lord delegated these matters to His Father.
Things have been bad in Europe since long before 1945. Satan would have danced during the First World War. Likewise the Second. Indeed, the great rebel would have had ecstacies of excitement during the French Revolution, with his ultimate orgasm (because mere beastly excitement seems to be the highest form of being for the luciferian) at the slaughter of the good people of the Vendee. However, in these ecumenistic days, we are not meant to state the Truth that the horror began five hundred years ago to this year. The rest has been inevitable. I say this without meaning to impugn the many of our Protestant brethren who still cling on to a True Christianity despite all the half millenium of chaos.
Crew Dog, thank you for your service to our Country. Your experiences & wisdom came to you via a very dangerous time. As the chaos here and throughout the world grows, I keep wishing my Dad and Uncles, (all veterans & law enforcement men), were still here as their experience/wisdom always provided a sense of security to me. I recall when '911' happened, my reaction was total fear which was calmed by their wise and calming words & presence. As much as I miss them all and wish they were still alive, I can't imagine what they would be thinking in today's world. In my daily life, I have yet to hear anyone voice any great concern about the religious or political upheaval which is right in front of us....it's unbelievable! I am now the one in my family who must try to be wise and strong and it's sooo hard! Prayer is the easy part, it's preparation and planning I'm weak on since I'm not sure what to prepare and plan for anymore - sounds silly, eh?
Well Elly ... The truth is .... much of our worry, plans and preparations are for naught .... except when they are not. The old military axiom goes something like this: All the plans and preparations "go out the window" at the first shot. At least when we, prayerfully, think (worry), plan and prepare, we are keeping ourselves occupied and giving ourselves some peace of mind and just perhaps The Lord is, in fact, guiding us as He tends to work with human hands ... Right!? If YOU are the One in your Family, I guess you'll have to just "Suck It Up & Press-On" .... as we used to say in the old Strategic Air Command! GOD GUIDE & SAVE ALL HERE!!
Elly, several credible prophecies have told us that God would take care of his own. Those who love him and stay in constant prayer. Seems to me you have what it takes However, I feel strongly that one should have at minimum 6 months of contingencies (water, food, medicine, hygiene etc.) to get by the 'shock and awe' of "D" day what ever that means. I think the best way is to go through every room and ask yourself what in that room would you run out of and need in this amount of time and keep enough of that to get you though the first months of unbelievable confusion. You don't want to be the person trying to buy gas, food and supplies on day 1. I'm grabbing my rosary and holy water and entering into a whole new level of intense prayer and yes, like your dad and uncles I want to be the one around to assure whomever I can that its all right, with God it is all well with my soul
About those predicted earth shifting/weather shifting effects upon food supplies: Severe Vegetable shortages in Europe. European consumers have been plunged into crisis by a vegetable shortage caused by severe weather. ........ These areas are usually able to grow vegetables even through the cold season, but snow and floods have stopped supplies in their tracks. Murcia, a region of Spain, usually does roaring trade throughout winter. But heavy rain means only a third of its fields can be used for agriculture, forcing yields down and sending prices through the roof. According to the BBC, the UK exports 50% of all its vegetables and 90% of its fruit, leaving the supply chain particularly vulnerable to unexpected events overseas. Importers have said that they are facing the prospect of paying more than triple the usual price for now-rare commodities, while some stores have started rationing sales to stop customers bulk-buying. http://heatst.com/world/severe-vegetable-shortage-deprives-europeans-of-spinach-broccoli/ ====================================== Spanish supermarket shelves are overflowing with vegetables as grocers hoard supplies while in Britain shoppers are facing rationing Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ds-stores-ban-online-sales.html#ixzz4XjerH6Sr
Yup. My son was a Marine pilot and "suck it up" was one of his quotes. At the military college he attended there was Rogers' Rules for Warfare on the wall, taken from Captain Robert Rogers in the French and Indian War whose militia fought with the British to protect them from the French and Indians. The first rule "Don't fergit nuthin'!" Loved that! Good advice.
time for "victory gardens"--on my visits to the UK I've noticed a lack of green vegetables and always wondered why.
The bad weather affected growers on the European mainland. There's no shortage of food supply in the UK. There's also a great tradition there of people in towns with small or no gardens growing food and flowers on allotments.
Lovely. We have always had a garden. Every year we say--it's so much work. Let's not. (we're getting old!) but every year we put one in and we're never sorry.I noticed in the UK in London as well as small towns the many many gardens and allotments. We have community gardens here where people can have a "plot" if they don't have room in there own house or apartment.
