A Hypothetical About The People in Charge

First a quick update. Those birds that died, well, they died from trauma to the chest. That would indicate that whatever hit them came from below them and covered a couple of miles.

Now to my hypothetical. In the last year or so I have been reading articles about things that in and of themselves seem unrelated; but, what if they are related. In Norway they have the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. A very large and expensive enterprise which is heavily guarded. We also have a mad rush worldwide to build bomb shelters. The Russians are building over 5,000, we don't know how many the Chinese are building and yes, the United States government is still building massive underground shelters.

I think I wrote about the giant city at sea that is being built for the wealthy. Now lets look at the weather, crazy stuff. We are being told there is coming global warming; but, it looks more like global freezing. The consequence is that we are going to green energy. What if the gulf spill, the mining explosions, the natural gas explosions were created in order for us to be willing to pay ten times the cost for green energy. If so, why the rush?

Green energy or renewable energy, what is it's advantage. I would say it is two-fold. Firstly, in order to use it you must be plugged into the electrical grid directly for easy tracking. In addition being plugged into the grid means that you can individually be denied access. The second "benefit" is that they don't need an industry to keep the power system up.

What could this all mean? Well, what if certain people know that there is something bad coming? Can we add to this the sudden discoveries of new animal species and categorizing of all animals worldwide. There seems to be a rush on to save something.

UPDATE: This literally just came in as I was writing this post. Hundreds of birds were found in Louisiana. This is interesting, different bird species.

Back to what I was talking about. If you wish to indulge me in my hypothetical conspiracy theory lets try this. If we put all these pieces together, oh yeah and throw in the FEMA camps. This starts to look more like preparations for a earth catastrophe of a natural order. A asteroid or polar shift or whatever, something natural. What about a solar flair of maximum intensity.

Now here is where it gets fun. Everything science truly knows about the universe is 25 years more advanced than what the average person is aware of. What if science had discovered that every 20 million years the sun sets off an enormous solar flair. One big enough to overheat the existing life forms.

If this were the truth (and no I don't think it is) then maybe you would come up with global warming as an excuse if you expect a rise in temperatures from solar flairs. You would do that if you didn't know that the solar cycle stops just before a big eruption. Did you know that there is a giant circle forming on the sun? There is and they say that they don't know what it means.

Just in case you think I believe this, let me reiterate, I am a Christian. I don't believe the world ends because of solar flairs. This is just a hypothetical.

If you were in charge of the government and knew that this solar flair was coming, what would you do? Wouldn't you try and save as many as possible? Wouldn't you rush to build renewable energy and save the seeds and categorize our world. I would try and save every book possible and every radio and television broadcast. Hey my first degree was in History.

How would you select who you saved? Would you pick the dumbest? Would you pick mediocre? You would pick the best and brightest, wouldn't you? What would you save and how would you pick? If you would pick the best and brightest, and you were not, would you go along with the criteria?

Good night all. Be well. I hope you enjoy thinking about how you would make the decision.

Bad Christianity

I read this article about a group of Christians who believe the end is near. I regret to say, once again, that neither the "believers" who are mentioned nor the writer have any idea what the bible says.

The Book of Revelations does not say there is ever an end of time. It says that the Great Tribulation will come, God will stop the Battle of Armageddon and that Jesus will reign on earth for a thousand years and then this earth will pass away, NOT TIME AND NOT OUR CONSCIOUSNESS.

There are so many things wrong with this that it is like shooting fish in a barrel (not a reference to the last post). People are so bad at even attempting to read the bible. I know too many people who attempt to say that Nero was the antichrist spoken of in Revelations. They attempt to say that the author was talking about the Roman empire that he was living under (it is an Atheist belief). NO, Nero did not have everyone take a mark and clearly the author of Revelations would have known this.

Back to the article. You have way too many Christians who believe that those who are not in the rapture are not saved. NOT WHAT IT SAYS. It does say many believers will be persecuted and cry out to God to put an end to Satan's reign on earth. Now, if these martyrs are in heaven with God, guess what, they didn't go up in the rapture but were still saved.

I am snowed in and cranky; but really fancy math will not provide answers to the Book of Revelations and why bother. End times fascinations just tick me off. My comment to Christians is always the same. Focus on your faith, love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. Don't focus on mistakes.

For the sake of discussion I will say IF we were in the End Times I would expect Christians to continue living life in the same way. Helping others, being in service to others and attempting to do the right thing for the right reason.

Quick background for non-Christians. Revelations does talk about the "Rapture". The rapture is a time when believers will be taken away to heaven. It does not say that all believers will avoid the tribulation. It does say that many will be martyred. This has been interpreted by some to say that the one's left behind are unsaved and this is simply wrong.

Revelations states that the great tribulation (bad times) will last seven years. What is the purpose of the tribulation if all believers have been removed? Just to torture those who aren't saved? That would make no sense. God did not create us just to find amusement in our pain and that is not what it says. It says that he created us to have relationship with him and each other. The purpose of the great tribulation is to show that we must treat each other with love or we will only have hell on earth.

I read so many sites and see so much hate. Alex Jones is a good example. He claims to be a Christian and promotes buying guns. I don't think so. If you are a believer and if you believe these are "End Times" then you should be convinced that violence is wrong. I did not read anywhere in the bible that in the "End Times" the Christians would rise up and kill the bad people or take over the governments of the world, it just doesn't say that.

For people who don't believe in the bible this discussion may be completely unnecessary. I think it should be. To those concerned about "The End Times" I would ask why. Perhaps rather than waiting to be saved from bad times we should focus on the here and now and what we can do.

Yesterday a car bomb was ignited in Egypt in front of a Coptic church. The Coptics are a group of Egyptian Christians who have been persecuted for 2000 years for being Christian. Still, they hold on to their beliefs. This bomb killed 21 and injured 79. Perhaps helping one another is more important than waiting for rapture.

Somethings Wrong

In case you haven't heard something very wrong is happening in Arkansas. Firstly, thousand of birds suddenly died at the same time and dropped to the ground. Then we had thousands of fish, all the same species, die and wash up on shore. Here is a link to an article about it.

Scientists, and we know how trustworthy they are, are saying it can't be a pollutant so it must be a natural thing. I don't think so. It is now being reported that the birds in Arkansas appear to have experienced blunt trauma to their organs. Huh? Were they beat to death in the sky? Some have attempted to blame the birds death on lightening. Wouldn't the birds be singed?

I guarantee you that somebody is going to say that this was the result of HAARP. I don't buy that either. I do not have an answer for what killed them but watch out for the scientific lies. So what the heck is going on in Arkansas?

A New Day, A New Year, Same Old Garbage

I was supposed to go to a meeting today. Two things stopped me, snow and another death in the family. I woke up to a phone call telling me my sister in law died. To be specific, my brothers wife's sister. I met her three times. I have to tell my daughter about it. My daughter thought the world of her.

I hope your day starts better than mine. Be well.
