Celestial Fireworks

• Headline
• Celestial fireworks as solar storm hits
• Headline DT 31 Oct
• Event
• The 3rd major solar storm in a week was predicted
  to hit earth today, threatening satellite and
  communication systems.
• Astronomers say the scale of current solar
  activity is extremely unusual.
• One of the largest solar flares ever seen has
  led to some breath-taking displays of aurora
• Comment
• Maybe we take these spectacular heavenly events
  for granted but I think we need to view increased
  activity in the heavens as another literal sign
  in the sun moon and stars.
• Bible Quote
• Lu 2125 And there shall be signs in the sun,
  and in the moon, and in the stars

Iran Earthquake

• Headline
• 20,000 killed by Iranian earthquake
• Headline DT 27 December
• Event
• More than 20,000 people were killed at dawn
  yesterday when an earthquake virtually destroyed
  the ancient Iranian city of Bam. Government
  officials confirmed the figure and said that a
  further 50,000 people had been injured in the
  south-eastern city on the old Silk Road to China.
  The quake measured 6.3 on the Richter scale.
• Comment
• It was only last weekend when an earthquake of
  similar magnitude struck California. Again we are
  warned by Jesus that there will be earthquakes in
  diverse places. There can often be political
  implications when these things occur. God uses
  earthquakes and other dramatic events to bring
  about his purpose. We know Iran (Persia) will be
  involved in the final battle against Israel. Who
  knows what implications may come from this
  disaster.
• Bible Quote Mark 13
• 8 For nation shall rise against nation, and
  kingdom against kingdom and there shall be
  earthquakes in divers places,

Earthquake / political consequences

• Headline
• Disaster could destabilise government
• Headline DT 29 December

• Event
• Ascending the steps of his Boeing 727 as he left
  Bam yesterday, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei offered a
  regal wave to the exhausted Iranian Crescent
  workers. Some clapped and cheered, but it was
  clear that the earthquake had not only shaken the
  weak foundations of the ancient city, but had
  also caused echoes of discontent that could help
  destabilise the theocratic government.
• Comment
• As we said last week, earthquakes can have
  tremendous consequences politically and we can
  see Gods hand working here. The Daily Telegraphs
  editorial said on the 3rd Jan, Earthquakes have
  a way of shaking the political landscape as well
  as the earths crust. We know that there is to
  be one great earthquake at the end which will
  itself usher in great political change. The long
  awaited kingdom.
• Bible Quote Revelation 16
• 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and
  lightnings and there was a great earthquake,
  such as was not since men were upon the earth, so
  mighty an earthquake, and so great.

Mission to Mars

• Headline
• British probe could be first to answer the
  question about alien life
  - Headline DT 26 December
• Event
• British scientists waited yesterday for news from
  the 50 million probe, Beagle 2. The only way to
  discover whether Martian rock contained Martian
  life was to send a laboratory to the Red planet.
  Beagle 2 was named after the ship that took
  Charles Darwin on the voyage that led to his
  theory of natural selection.
• Comment
• You have to smile at this. Darwin tried to
  explain the existence of life on the earth
  occurred by chance. Man now tries to prove there
  is life on another planet that also presumably
  would have started by chance. Both theories are
  utterly ridiculous and neither will / can be
  proved. We know the Lord God made all life on
  this earth and according to the Bible has only
  ever created life here. They could have saved 50
  million if they only looked at the heavens and
  marvelled but instead man launches another
  Beagle!!
• Bible Quote Isaiah 45
• 18 For thus saith the LORD that created the
  heavens God himself that formed the earth and
  made it he hath established it, he created it
  not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited I am
  the LORD and there is none else.

Earthquake may strike Jerusalem

• Headline
• Earthquake may strike Jerusalem in 50 years
• Headline Jerusalem Post 16 January
• Event
• A geological survey says that Jerusalem's walled
  Old city would be among the worst hit in the
  event of another earthquake because it rests on
  layers of debris, not solid rock. A three-year
  study, conducted by the Geological Survey of
  Israel released this week, has found that the Old
  City is more at risk than modern neighborhoods
  because of its ancient construction and the
  underground layers of shifting debris left behind
  by ransacking armies, said Amos Bein, the
  centres director. A natural disaster in the Old
  City could bring devastating political
  aftershocks because it is the fiery heart of the
  conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
• Comment
• An earthquake is coming with tremendous political
  consequences. It may not be as long as 50 years
  in coming though. Interesting it is an Amos
  warning of this!!
• Bible Quote Amos 1
• 1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen
  of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the
  days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of
  Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two
  years before the earthquake.
• This earthquake is compared to the final
  greatest earthquake see Zechariah 145

Earthquake in Israel

• Headline
• Earthquake shakes up Middle East
• Headline BBC online 11 February
• Event
• An earthquake has shaken parts of Israel, the
  West Bank and Gaza Strip, according to witnesses.
  Local media reported that the earthquake had a
  magnitude of 4.5 and had its epicentre on the
  northern shore of the Dead Sea.
• Cable TV and wireless networks were knocked out.
• "It was big, I felt it," Yossi Shamir, evacuated
  from an office in Jerusalem, told Reuters. "It
  was scary." The earthquake shook the Knesset
  building strongly for about 20 seconds, startling
  MKs who were convened in committee meetings and
  making a long crack above a ceiling-support beam
  at the driveway exit to the VIP entrance.
• Comment
• A shaking in Israel. Not the magnitude it will be
  but nonetheless a warning to all of what is to
  come. The government building, the Knesset, now
  has cracks in the support beams. We surely see
  Gods hand in this. We await the greater
  earthquake when the whole earth shall be shaken.
• Bible Quote Ezekiel 38
• 19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my
  wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there
  shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel

Earthquake in Morocco
Headline Quake wrecks villages near Morocco
coast Headline BBC online 25 February

• Event
• At least 400 people were killed early yesterday
  when an earthquake struck northern Morocco,
  destroying hundreds of stone and mud-brick
  houses.
• Villages in the Rif mountains near the
  Mediterranean city of Al Hoceima were worst hit,
  with one, Ait Kamara, where 6,000 people live,
  destroyed.
• Comment
• We have seen a number of earthquakes recently in
  the very areas the Bible mentions will be
  involved in the final battle over Jerusalem. We
  have seen earthquakes in Turkey, Iran, Israel and
  now Morocco all within the last few months.
• Morocco is not specifically mentioned but many
  believe that when the Bible refers to Ethiopia
  and Libya in Ezekiel that it is referring to
  most of Northern Africa. Specifically the Arab
  nations there.
• Bible Quote Ezekiel 385 Joel 2110
• Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them all of
  them with shield and helmet
• 1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an
  alarm in my holy mountain let all the
  inhabitants of the land tremble for the day of
  the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand 10 The
  earth shall quake before them

Once in a lifetime phenomenon

• Headline
• Britain captivated by Venuss heavenly body
• Headline DT 9 June
• Event
• One of the rarest events in the astronomical
  calendar will be visible across Britain tomorrow
  morning when Venus passes in front of the sun.
  For the first time since 1882. The planet will
  appear as a small black disc gliding slowly
  across the Suns face.
• Comment
• On August 11, 1999 there was a total solar
  eclipse. At the time I wrote an article about how
  the shadow cast by the eclipse covered the very
  nations spoken of in the Bible that will come
  against Israel in the final battle. Eg Europe,
  Russia, Middle East and Northern Africa. It is
  interesting to me that that those nations able to
  view Venus passing in front of the Sun closely
  correspond once more to those same nations that
  will invade Israel. The best viewing of the
  transit of Venus was the Middle East. Click to
  see diagram.

Iran - US warning and earthquake

• Headline
• Iran warns US as forces pound holy sites in Iraq
• Headline DT 24 May
• 30 killed as north Iran is hit by Quake DT 29 May
• Event
• Iran issued a "formal warning" to the Bush
  administration yesterday as American military
  forces launched a major attack on the Iraqi holy
  cities of Najaf Kufa
• Rescue efforts have been going on through the
  night in Iran following a violent earthquake
  which shook much of the north of the country on
  Friday. About 30 people are reported to have been
  killed in towns and villages over a large area,
  its epicentre being in Mazandaran province by the
  Caspian Sea.
• Comment
• Iran (ancient Persia) has now issued a formal
  warning to the US. We know that Iran is involved
  with the Gogian host that comes to invade Israel.
  The most direct route would be through Iraq!
  Whether Iran goes through Iraq or not the fact is
  that Iran (and the other invaders of Israel)
  would technically be at war with the UK and US
  anyway. America would never willing let Israel be
  invaded. On top of these political tensions we
  also see natural tensions in the same area with
  earthquakes. ( in diverse places!) We have now
  seen 2 earthquakes in Iran in just a few months.
• Bible Quote Ezekiel 38 see Matthew 247 for
  earthquake verse

  them with shield and helmet

Volcanic tidal wave threat

• Headline
• Geologist sounds alarm at volcanic tidal wave
  threat
• Headline DT 10 August
• Event
• A collapsing volcano could trigger a vast tidal
  wave capable of wiping
  New York, Washington and Miami off the map as
  well as bringing
  devastation to southern England, governments were
  warned yesterday.
  Geologists are concerned that an unstable flank
  of the Cumbre Vieia volcano on the island of La
  Palma in the Canaries is in danger of sliding
  into the sea. If shaken loose by a volcanic
  eruption, the slab of rock - which is the size of
  the Isle of Man - would send a tsunami more than
  500ft high racing across the Atlantic at the
  speed of a jumbo jet.
• Comment
• Though this is hypothetical I thought it worthy
  of note. We know for certain that a terrible
  earthquake is coming on this earth the like of
  which has never been before. It therefore becomes
  likely that with the earthquake will come other
  destruction as detailed by this geologist.
  Governments have been warned about this threat of
  tidal wave. The world has been warned by God of
  coming judgement.
• Bible Quote Isaiah 2 read whole chapter about
  judgement of God
• 17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
  and the haughtiness of men shall be made low 21
  .when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

Quakes coming in Israel

• Headline
• Quakes coming
• Headline Jerusalem Post 20 August
• Event
• The number of local earthquakes in recent months
  is a reminder of the ongoing disquiet in the
  troubled region - not only above ground but deep
  in the earth itself.
• The latest tremor occurred last Sunday afternoon,
  some five kilometers (three miles) west of Jenin,
  along what is known as the Carmel Fault and
  measured 4.0 on the Richter scale. It was the
  second quake in roughly the same area in less
  than three weeks. The apparent increase in the
  number of incidents could be signs of
  preparation for a much more serious earthquake.
• Comment
• There are indeed signs of preparation! The Lord
  God and his angels are preparing for the day of
  the Lord, when at last all nations will know
  that He is LORD. The final great shaking of the
  earth appears to be centred in Israel but the
  whole earth will feel it. Indeed, Ezekiel makes
  clear that all men on the face of the earth will
  shake and every wall will fall to the ground. We
  watch the tremors in Israel knowing these things
  will surely come to pass.
• Bible Quote Ezekiel 38
• 19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my
  wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there
  shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel

Locust plague

• Headline
• Locusts plague home of Gibson's Christ
• Headline DT 26 August
• Event
• The humble town of Matera in southern Italy had
  been hoping for a tourist boom after Mel Gibson
  made his film The Passion of Christ there.
  Instead it has been hit by a biblical plague of
  locusts. The millions of locusts have driven the
  tourists away and are doing untold damage to
  crops. The town's economy has suffered so badly
  that businessmen are calling for a state of
  emergency.
• Comment
• A biblical plague of locusts! Many times in the
  scriptures God talks of using locusts as a plague
  on the people. I do not look upon this plague as
  coincidence but the hand of God. It was at this
  very place that The Passion of Christ was made
  and now we have a plague upon it. Why? This film,
  (endorsed by the Pope), follows the Catholic
  faith and values in respect of the crucifixion of
  Christ. They do NOT remember Christ at Mass but
  believe it is his real body and real blood. He is
  permanently dieing and suffering. Therefore this
  brutal and violent film is all about the fear
  element and keeping our Lord on the cross
  forever. Once more the Catholic Church has found
  a way to reach millions of people with its
  message. A plague is coming upon it.
• Bible Quote Galatians 19 If any man preach
  any other gospel unto you than that ye have
  received, let him be accursed.

West Africa in terror of locust plague

• Headline
• West Africa in terror of locust plague
• Headline DT 2 September
• Event
• Children fled in terror as swarms of ravenous
  locusts invaded Senegal's capital, Dakar,
  yesterday, devouring every patch of greenery in
  their path.
• Countless insects attacked trees and lawns,
  enveloping them in a crawling, yellow carpet.
  Flying locusts hurtled into the windscreens of
  the city's drivers and enmeshed themselves in the
  clothes and hair of anyone caught outside.
• The largest swarms for 15 years,summoning
  Biblical images of a plague, are advancing across
  West Africa. A single locust will consume its own
  weight in food every day.
• More than 16 million acres of farmland in some of
  the world's poorest countries has already been
  damaged. President Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal has
  likened the crisis to a war between mankind and
  the locusts.
• Comment
• It cannot be coincidence that at this time of
  terror and fear we see terrible plagues coming on
  the earth as well. God uses plagues for
  judgement. We know that the world is symbolic of
  Egypt. This world is being infected by similar
  plagues. See Exodus 1014
• Bible Quote Luke 21 Jesus said there would
  be pestilences
• 11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers
  places, and famines, and pestilences and fearful
  sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Hurricane Ivan caves offer sanctuary

• Headline
• 155 mph tempest heads for Cuba and Florida
• Headline DT 13 September
• Event
• Hundreds of thousands of people in Cuba and
  Florida were fleeing before the path of Hurricane
  Ivan at the weekend, after it killed more than 50
  people in its devastating tour of the Caribbean.
• The deadly tropical storm, its strength close to
  Category 5, the top of the scale for measuring
  hurricanes, yesterday unleashed gusts of up to
  155mph and an unrelenting downpour on the
  British-ruled Cayman islands.
• On Cayman Brac, one of the two smaller islands,
  residents again took shelter in a network of
  caves, last used in 1932 when Hurricane 10 hit
  the islands.
• Comment
• We know that there shall be great storms at the
  time of the end. These hurricanes over the last
  month have been some of the most ferocious on
  record. As we see people on the Cayman islands
  literally hiding in caves to escape we read that
  men will do the same when the Lord God judges the
  world. See Psalm 8315. See stats above!!
• Bible Quote Isaiah 2 17-19 ..and the
  haughtiness of men shall be made low and the
  LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.And they
  shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into
  the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and
  for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to
  shake terribly the earth.
