while the Bible says that "something like a mountain was thrown into the sea" .... what is a volcano, but a MOUNTAIN ALL ABLAZE. Could this also be part of the horrors still to come, and be part of what Revelation 8 is telling us? Because a caldera of this magnitude could certainly wipe out one-third of the living creatures on the earth.

Revelation 8:8-11 NIV: "The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water--the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter. "

well, we're cooked.

it would definitely NOT. Be. Good.

So what would life look like for you and your family if this happened?

Consider the following…

-There would be no heat for your home.

-Water would no longer be pumped into most homes.

-Your computer would not work.

-There would be no Internet.

-Your phones would not work.

-There would be no television.

-There would be no radio.

-ATM machines would be shut down.

-There would be no banking.

-Your debit cards and credit cards would not work.

-Without electricity, gas stations would not be functioning.

-Most people would be unable to do their jobs without electricity and employment would collapse.

-Commerce would be brought to a standstill.

-Hospitals would not be able to function.

-You would quickly start running out of medicine.

-All refrigeration would shut down and frozen foods in our homes and supermarkets would start to go bad.

-Some vehicles would no longer be able to start at all.

-Traffic lights would no longer be working.

-Airplanes would not be able to go anywhere.

-Wall Street would not be able to function at all.

-Government services would collapse.

A lot of these effects would start to be felt immediately. An article by Mac Slavo detailed some of the things that we could expect to see in the immediate aftermath of a massive EMP blast…

The first 24 – 48 hours after such an occurrence will lead to confusion among the general population as traditional news acquisition sources like television, radio and cell phone networks will be non-functional.

Within a matter of days, once people realize the power might not be coming back on and grocery store shelves start emptying, the entire system will begin to delve into chaos.

Within 30 days a mass die off will have begun as food supplies dwindle, looters and gangs turn to violent extremes, medicine can't be restocked and water pump stations fail.

From Space.com

The sun has just unleashed another major solar flare, the third of its kind in three days, scientists say.

The huge solar storm occurred late Sunday at 10:03 p.m. EDT (0203 Oct. 28 GMT). It registered as an X-class solar flare — the most powerful type of flare the sun has — and followed two back-to-back X-flares that erupted from the sun on Friday (Oct. 25). NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a video of the new X-class solar flare as it happened.

This latest solar flare erupted from an active sunspot region called AR1875 and triggered a strong radio blackout when it occurred, officials with the NOAA-run Space Weather Prediction Group explained in a status update. The flare also coincided with a massive explosion of super-hot solar plasma — called a coronal mass ejection, or CME — which should reach Earth by Oct. 30 and could trigger minor geomagnetic storms in the planet's magnetic field, they added. [Solar Max: Sun Storm Photos of 2013]

Severe geomagnetic storms can cause disruptions in satellite communications and power grids, as well as pose a risk to astronauts in space, but the storm levels from this latest major flare should not be that extreme.

"The magnitude of that storm is also still being assessed, but initial observations and modeling indicate severe storming is NOT expected," SWPC officials said.

This latest X-flare registered as an X1.0 on the scale of solar storms used to track the sun's weather. It follows on the heels of an X2.7 flare and X1.7 flare that erupted from the active sunspot AR1882 on Friday.

Astronomers rank the sun's solar flares into three main categories: C, M and X. C-class solar flares are relatively weak. M-class sun storms are more powerful, but still considerate to be mid-level events, and can super-charge the northern lights displays caused by Earth's auroras. When aimed at Earth, the most powerful X-class flares are ones that can interfere with satellite-based communications and navigation systems, and also endanger astronauts in orbit.

earthquakes in Israel

FIVE earthquakes have hit Israel this week!

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/173060#.UmaLZRDORTw

Biblical prophecy says:

"It will come about on that day when Gog comes against the land of Israel," declares the Lord God, "that My fury will mount up in My anger. In My zeal and in My blazing wrath, I declare that on that day there will surely be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all the creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth will shake at My presence; the mountains also will be thrown down, the steep pathways will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground." (Ezekiel 38:18-20)
"I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind." (Revelation 6:12-13)
"Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne saying, 'It is done.' And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. The great city [Jerusalem] was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell…." (Revelation 16:17-19)

TACKY...thy name is Obama

Just some of the reasons why this president is so painful...in so many ways.

Swag for the First Family from world leaders:

England: The Prime Minister gave Mr Obama an ornamental pen holder made from the timbers of the Victorian anti-slave ship HMS Gannet. The unique present delighted Mr Obama because oak from the Gannet's sister ship, HMS Resolute, was carved to make a desk that has sat in the Oval Office in the White House since 1880. Mr Brown also handed over a framed commission for HMS Resolute and a first edition of the seven-volume biography of Churchill by Sir Martin Gilbert. In addition, Mr Brown and his wife showered gifts on the Obama children giving Sasha and Malia an outfit each from Topshop and six children's books by British authors which are shortly to be published in America. He also gave a first edition biography of Winston Churchill. And even for Bo, the Obamas' dog, a bone-shaped chew toy adorned with a U.K. flag
Qatar: wooden case containing a small sword
Panama: 14-karat gold bird-shaped cufflinks
China: blue-glazed porcelain hand figurine with a small bird in a yellow display box
Malaysia: ornate pewter jewelry box with velvet interior
India: white marble table top with design of inlaid blue and yellow flowers
Mexico: green, pink, and red-beaded necklace with silver-colored leaf pendants
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy (the biggest spender on the list) gave Obama an Hermes golf bag worth $7,750 and Baccarat crystal statuettes of golfers. In all, the Sarkozys gave the Obamas $41,675.71 in gifts that year alone, Agence France-Presse reported.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel also tapped into the golf theme, giving Obama a putter and training material. Guess she's sending him a message.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper gave POTUS a basketball signed by the NBA's Toronto Raptors.
Other gifts to Obama were more formal, including a 48-inch bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln by the artist Yuan Xikun given by former Chinese President Hu Jintao, valued at $9,800.
The most expensive item on the list is the aforementioned art from the president of the Gabonese Republic, Ali Bongo Ondimba. It is a 14-inch blue mask sculpture by Daum on a 10-inch black and silver stand.
As for the least expensive, the book came from President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj of Mongolia and is called "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World," by Jack Weatherford.

Tacky and inappropriate gifts to world leaders FROM Obama:

To the Prime Minister of England: a set of DVDs. Barack Obama, the leader of the world's richest country, gave the Prime Minister a box set of 25 classic American films - a gift about as exciting as a pair of socks. The DVD gift, perceived as cheesy, didn't even work on British DVD players. "The Fleet Street tabloids … treated this White House gaffe as practically an act of war," British-born editor Tina Brown wrote on her Daily Beast blog. The Obamas gave the Browns two models of the presidential helicopter, Marine One, to take home to sons Fraser and John. Mrs. Brown has been praised for her well-chosen gifts for the Obama children - but Mrs Obama's gift to the Brown children appeared less thoughtful. And if that weren't enough of a diss to our greatest ally, Great Britain, Obama also gave back a bust of Winston Churchill, which was given to us on 9/11 as a symbol of unity. He said, "No, go ahead. Take it back." I mean, like, "No, no. Seriously, let it stay here in America. You can put it in a museum." "No, no, take it." You've got to be kidding me, right?
The Prime Minister has not had the best of luck when receiving gifts from U.S. presidents. He was given a fur-trimmed brown leather bomber jacket by George W. Bush during his first trip to America in the summer of 2007. Commentators gleefully pointed out that the garment was hardly in keeping with Mr. Brown's usual sober attire of business suit and tie.
What do you get the monarch who has everything? Michelle Obama gave Queen Elizabeth II an iPod loaded with show tunes. That rare Rodgers and Hart songbook and iPod with Broadway show tunes she gave Britain's Queen Elizabeth II? As per routine, it was selected with advice from Buckingham Palace. (The queen collects books and is fond of musicals.) "An extremely thoughtful gift," ~~declared~~ lied Ann Stock, White House social secretary under President Clinton. "It's something a rare-book collector would like very much." Queen Elizabeth's iPod also carries photos of the president's January inauguration and she'll be able to hear his inaugural address, as well as listen to Obama's 2004 speech to the Democratic National Convention. The Obamas got a framed photo of Her Majesty.
What did the George and Laura Bush give to the Queen when she visited in 2007? President and Mrs. Bush gave Her Majesty a bronze statuette "High Desert Princess" with a personal inscription on the bottom of the base. It is a replica of the original life size statue that is located in front of the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Ft. Worth, Texas. President and Mrs. Bush gave Prince Philip an exclusive sterling silver eagle box by Tiffany & Co. with personal inscription on the inside lid. President and Mrs. Bush also gave Their Majesties a leather presentation box filled with a collection of documents from the National Archives. One of the items was a copy of an original letter from President Roosevelt to her father, King George, written in 1938. There were also photos from previous royal visits and a DVD of the footage from the Queen's visit to the United States when she was Princess Elizabeth in 1951.
But Obama did not disclose other gift exchanges with the Germans and the Czechs. The Czech press, however, reported that Obama received glassware from Czech first lady Livia Klausova; in return, Klausova said, she got "a nice little American vase" from the Obamas. Also, Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek gave the Obamas a Czech-made Prim watch and a garnet brooch.
His gift to Angela Merkel: copies of "The World at War" and "Schindler's List" on DVD along with a first edition of "The Diary of Anne Frank."
Friday, June 22, 2012 - President Tacky Asks Americans For their Wedding Gifts and Birthday Gifts. I always knew Barack Obama was a tacky many lacking style. This takes the cake. Barack Obama is asking rather than add a gift to your bridal registry that you ask your guests to just donate to his campaign rather than give you wedding gifts.
