The 42-foot tall Colorado blue spruce snapped at its base during high winds Saturday morning in Washington.
The spruce had been in its current location for more than 32 years. It came from the Myers family farm outside of York, Pennsylvania, the Park Service said.

I have visited Uri’El-2012 freeper page and clicked thru some of his links and WOW did I ever learn some stuff about Christmas and Easter ... who knew? So, your comment has more impact than it would have before.

Don't forget this:
Appears 'plucked up and pulled down'. Less about the fact that it is a Christmas tree, it holds the title of 'national'. Representing something American.
Another strange thing to add to the forebodings that surround this man.
Looks like this should be time for a period of national repentance and turning to the one true God. Perhaps the the Lord would rescue us from the evil leadership currently in place.
Jeremiah 18:7-10 (New King James Version)
"The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it."
so, what's the pan-Tribulation stand?
Whether the rapture is pre-, mid-, or post-tribulation, it will all pan out in the end.
However it pans out. When God says, "You come, I go." I'm not standing around and saying, "Wait! It's not time yet!"

Amen, my Brother! I’m a sinner, but I’m ready, really ready!
Yeah, I see a pattern. Maybe it’s the socialism. I do think that the Roosevelts thought they were being compassionate on poor people. However, I suspect the motives of the hoggish Obamas. First, the Presidential Seal can’t stand being on the lectern in front of Obama, then the national Christmas tree commits suicide. Wonder what’s next. Guess the American flag he uses behind him in his numerous speeches will hurl itself off its pole trying to put itself out of its misery. Heh Heh :o)
This coming Passover is a Middle of a week (Shmita cycle that is).
30 C.E. (Hebrew year 3790) was also a middle of a week, crucifixion/resurrection!
Current Hebrew year, 5771
To find a shmita year multiply by 7.
7 x 541 = 3787 (Rosh Hashana) + 3.5 = 3790 (Passover)
7 x 824 = 5768 (Rosh Hashana) + 3.5 = 5771 (Passover)
Oops!
Daniel 9:27 In the middle of the seven He will put an end to sacrifice and offering.
He = Yeshua, It is finished
Does the week pick up this Passover? Sure looks like it to me!
I'm reading about another connection of the shmita cycle to Joseph's time of exile in Egypt. The sinful crimes his brothers commited against Joseph were used by God to save the Jews and the bloodline of Messiah Jesus. How marvelous is our King! It's actually a mini book of Revelation, 70th Week of Daniel and Tribulation all told together seemlessly within the framework of the Book of Genesis. WOW, I say WOW!
I should cut n' paste somebody elses fine interpretation, but even a simpleton like me can read Genesis and locate seven years plenty followed by seven years of lean. God becomes more specific, once Israel comes to live in Goshen ( the pre-Trib rapture's version of heaven ) where the Jews (saints) are under their lord Joseph's (Jesus') protection and care 'for the famine had already lasted 2 years, yet five years of famine remain' emphasis mine JJ!
At least seven times this phrase is repeated in reference to the seven years of famine, the salvation of all Israel fits exactly within this shmita!!!! Just like the second rapture will include the remaining saints and the Nation of Israel at the end of this shmita cycle. Now say Wow! and all God's children say Amen & Amen!
Don't look now JJ, but the Egyptians want to alter the Treaty between Israel and Egypt. Apparently the Camp David Peace Treaty is about to be strengthened and re-confirmed by the Bible's Anti-Christ, Wow! Just like we are told in the Bible, Hussein will probaly be involved in this Peace Process. Just in time to save the economy!
I'm convinced that we will see massive bloodshed as this ME Islamic renewal proceeds. At some point Hussein will play a role in restoring stability and peace in the region by supporting a new 7 year treaty!!!
Egypt presidential hopeful: Peace treaty with Israel is over
Dr. Ayman Nur, a secular and liberal member of the opposition, tells Egypt radio that it would behoove the new government to renegotiate the terms of the Camp David accord.
By Haaretz Tags: Israel news Egypt protests
A leader of Egypt's secular opposition declared Sunday that the country's 30-year peace treaty with Israel was "over", despite assurances by the new military rulers that it would honor the accord in the wake of President Hosni Mubarak's resignation.
"The Camp David accord is over," Dr. Ayman Nur, leader of the Tomorrow Party who is planning to seek candidacy in the Egyptian presidential elections, told Egyptian radio. His remarks were carried by Israel's Channel 2.
"Egypt must at least renegotiate the terms of the accord," said Nur, who spent years incarcerated in Egyptian prison and was released with the help of U.S. intervention.
Nur is not a member of the radical Muslim Brotherhood, but rather a secular liberal. His remarks contradicted the military's statement on Saturday reassuring its international allies that there would be no break in its peace deal with Israel
The military statement, aired on state TV, was a first and cautious attempt to define the next steps after Mubarak handed over power to a council of his top generals and resigned on Friday in the face of an 18-day wave of popular protests.
Israel's defense minister, Ehud Barak, voiced confidence in the military's intention on Sunday when he told ABC that he did "not think the relationship between Israel and Egypt is under any risk or that there is any kind of operational risk awaiting us."
Mahmoud A-Zahar, a Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip has meanwhile urged Cairo to amend its treaty with Israel in order to ensure redeployment of Egyptian troops throughout the Sinai Peninsula.
Since coniferous trees and other evergreens do not grown in Saudi Arabia, the Muslim homeland, it is little wonder that Hussein Osama views them as unholy. In his quest to bring Sharia upon America, he desires to model even the basic landscape of America after Saudi Arabia! We can say goodbye to forests and hello to a vast wasteland of sand if Hussein Osama has his way.
There was no 2-3rd Century Bishop of Alexandria named Pseudo-Ephram.
Pseudo-Ephraem is a 7th century tract purported to be written in the style of Ephrem the Syrian who lived in the 4th century. It does not reference a pre-trib rapture. Some futurists interpret it in that fashion.
There was no pre-trib rapture teaching the 2nd/3rd centuries. There was no pre-trib rapture teaching before 1830.
