Disaster compared to scene from Bible (Planet rotation said affected by 9.0 quake)

WorldNetDaily ^ | December 26, 2004

[David]

Chapter Six of the Revelation lists and describes six events or conditions that occur during the period prior to commencement of the Great Tribulation (Mathew 24:15-21)--we know that because the last verse in Revelation 6, verse 17, says "the great day of his wrath is come"--it is about to start but has not started previously.

Those six events are: 1) A conquering; 2) A war; 3) A complex event in the market for wheat and barley; 4) Complex events in a quarter of the earth; 5) Persecution and death of Christians; and 6) "a great earthquake" in which "every mountain and island were moved out of their places".

The wheat and barley event is most significant--a prophecy that wheat will trade at three times the price of barley and that Oil and Wine will not be hurt. (Rev 6:6) Wheat has traded at three times the price of barley one time during the Church Age--May 1996; at which time the 200% penalty tax on oil and wine which was suspended and never collected, was ultimately terminated, assuring that the oil and wine would not be hurt. We believe 6:6 may have happened then.

The conquering was Saddam's conquest of Kuwait; the war was Desert Storm. The quarter of the earth in 6:8 is that portion of the earth between 76 degrees East Longitude and 14 degrees West Longitude; the war was Bosnia; the killing by beasts of the earth was by the desease transmitted by eating the flesh of the beasts (eboula; mad cow; etc.).

World Net Daily runs a continuing Chronicle of persecution and killing of Christians.

The next thing to look for is a Great Earthquake in which the mountains and islands are moved out of their places. Note that the word translated "islands" in KJV Rev. 6:14 is actually a Greek word which means shorelands, including islands.

I'd like to see his credentials...(Sarcasm)

If you're really interested read the link. (I spent a lot of time last winter in Alabama. Alabama in the winter is like Shemya in spring. I only saw ONE pick up truck with a "Confederate" (i.e., General Lee's) flag.)

"the north pole is now located at Parma Ohio"

So, then, the polar ice cap is safe.

"An Italian scientist says the earthquake was so strong, it even disturbed the rotation of the Earth. "

All the msm have latched onto this one sentence by somebody ... sounds scary doesn't it?


Only one problem, it doesn't say a thing! "..it disturbed the rotation.." !!!??? What is that supposed to mean?

This just in...

CBS reports that astronomers at Apache Point observatory have just confirmed the earlier CBS report from Mount Palomar. The Director of the Astrophysical Research Consortium, noted authority Dr. Who, has just issued a statement indicating objects have been observed traveling on a trajectory from Mars to Earth. Using the facility's powerful 3.5 meter telescope to make the startling discovery, Dr. Who stated that while the observed phenomenon was subject to further investigation, it is widely felt that initial catastrophic conclusions were beyond question.

Let's do a poll of how many muslims and what were the percentages. Maybe it was "biblical"?

[television is just wrong]

LOL, I said that on another thread.

[reagan_fanatic]

Yeah, but what does that have to do with the rotation of the Earth?

Not to worry. Michael Moore has tripped and fell a few times, and the Earth survived the massive vibrations from that as well...

Thanks for your explanations! I have been rather puzzled by this comment all morning, since it sounded rather dire, but your explanations have made sense of it.

[Jemian]

I have clicked the link. That article helps. Thank you.

Yeah, they actually say,

"It is also possible that a large earthquake might affect polar motion, but to date, this effect has not been observed closely."

- interesting.

It'll take weeks before all the observations are in and the data reduced, but if it did have a measurable effect, I'm sure we'll hear about it.

"Disaster struck with no warning out of a faultlessly clear blue sky."

Sounds like 9-11...

[fporretto]

I think he meant "disturbed" as in "troubled." You know, the way Senator Lieberman was "troubled" by the behavior of President Clinton. Thus: unsettled enough to cause some discomfort, but not enough to produce perceptible action.

By now you've had several responses, but none have addressed the practical issue that animates many believers to not spell out "G-d".

It really has nothing to do with "a forum like this" or the fact that it's a political discussion or anything of that sort. The practicality is that many believe the hallowed name of the Creator should not be spelled out on any thing that might be desecrated: wadded up, soiled, dropped to the floor, etc. And web pages can be printed out ...and our posts here might even be cut-and-pasted onto DU, and there's no worse desecration! [grin]

Hence you will see this little formality observed by many as a sign of respect. As you know by now, it does not reflect any reluctance to acknowledge religion or belief or the Creator. Quite the contrary.

[Frapster]

Some people hold the name of God in such reverence that it would be a violation of their convictions to spell it out. You should not take offence as it is a sign of respect and nothing else.
