[Prophet in the wilderness]

God opens doors that no man can close, and closes doors that no man can open ....
I was watching a show on TV about the ( Little Ice Age ) from the 1300s to the late 1800s and it's peak during the solar minimum of the 1700s....
Just like the weather has effected historical events in the passed i.e. Napoleon's invasion of Russia ...
There is nothing... I say NOTHING that the Marxist and Obama's brown shirts can do when God moves his hand and God will use the weather to defeat them ...

Your post #13 about weather, historical event and God using them when man gets “too big for his britches” brings to mind some more detail regarding the time period you speak of, 1300’s going forward. It’s a long bit of fascinating history but I’ll try to capsulize it here......

By 1325 AD or so, the Lombard and Tuscan banking syndicates had created a financial empire that spread from Great Britain in the west to Russia in the east. They financed everything for the monarchies of the day. They financed wars, they financed the luxurious lifestyles of the nobility, they financed agriculture and mining, and shipping and trade. They had their fingers in every financial pie and they were immensely wealthy.

In order to make debt payments to the Lombard banking families Bardi and Peruzzi and Allucaoli, the monarchs turned, of course, to taxation. They taxed the middle class merchants and the lesser small agricultural interests unmercilessly. High taxation rates, customs duties on all goods, fees for all manner of things.

Around 1342, the whole game began to unravel, everyone was in debt up to their eyeballs, the populace was being taxed to the point of “you can’t get blood from a stone”. Debt defaults began, foreclosures on property begn, financed ships and heavy weaponry were repossessed. Finally in 1345, the King of England defaulted on the debt to the Lombard bankers. The whole system collapsed.

By 1348-1350, the weather had changed. It was getting colder, much colder. Crops failed, famine and disease erupted. And it continued, colder and colder, worse and worse harvests. And the Black Plague appeared.

The Black Death rampaged across Europe, killing 50% of the population. God humbled man and man endured the Dark Ages for several centuries thereafter.
