Tsunami: A world of change... and more to come.
5/20/2005
I want to ensure you get the whole picture.
The world has changed. God made sure the whole world knows about it too. The
scientific evidence surrounding the events of the deadly Tsunami has finally
been made public through the
Science magazine
(May
2005) detailing all the places that
the quake was seismically measured, the number of "smaller quakes" that started
around the world simultaneous to the main quake, the world wide shift of the
earth's surface, the ability to view the tsunami from space ( satellite
measurements of the wave height as it moved ), the sheer power of the quake
itself (1000 MegaTon Hydrogen bombs) . It was huge, to say the least.
But, there's more.
The earth has also gotten
smaller and rounder. It's spinning
faster. The faster the spin, the shorter the days. The Earth is no longer
rotating on the same axis it was in relation to the sun. The north pole (star)
will be slightly off. These changes mean the traditional thinking of the
delicate balance that exists between the planets and the sun, i.e. the rhythm
of the solar system must be in peril. The
orbit of the earth is altered. The
year is shorter than it was, meaning, the earth is now just a bit closer than it
was before. Expect things to be warmer. Also the delicate gravitational
balance between the earth and the moon also was altered. This even was huge, of
true astronomical proportions.
But, there's more.
The effects on
weather
have started to show. Floods in
the
US Northeast,
regions that never flooded, suddenly did. Additional
ocean warming ( remember, we are
closer to the Sun ) is also being measured. The first hurricane (Adrian)
of the season, is actually early, meaning it is
out of season. Like a match flame we will see a continuance of effects
on our weather.
Droughts in all parts of the world, a
giant wave in calm seas crashed into a
cruise liner,
grapefruit sized
hail in Denver,CO. all happened
within just the month of April 2005. Climatic
changes will be
measurable and differentiated from all times in history as they pour through the
new data that will amass over the coming years.
But there's more.
According to the Word of God, "there shall be famines, and pestilences, and
earthquakes, in divers places." (Matt 24,7) Droughts and famine are related.
Earthquakes and waves are related. Of interest, is the New King James which is
quoted above uses the word "divers" instead of "diverse". Other translations
changed this word to "various". However, earthquakes
in the water happen in the same place
that diver's dive.
But there's more.
According to the Word of God, "And except those days should be shortened, there
should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be
shortened." (Matt 24:22) What a profound word, and only 15 verses away from
the above verse about the earthquakes. It is possible that God truly knew that
the world would be changed, moved, adjusted and altered by the earthquake of Dec
26, 2004? Are more on the way? Will the days keep getting shorter? Are the
days as short as they could possibly
get, or are more stronger earthquakes to be expected?
But there's more.
Between these two verses is the time period of tribulation. A hard time where
men act as gods seeking their own pleasures, and not seeking to speak of the
righteousness of God. Genesis declares that we were made by God for God's
purpose. While we were made good our
goodness waned when men fell by the sin of Adam. While we can't redeem
ourselves and once again declare ourselves good
we certainly can declare we need a Savior, Jesus Christ, who is Righteous and
Good and let Him lead us to salvation. The period of tribulation will be a time
when those things we thought were real and permanent, like orbits, rain, and sun
will no longer be taken for granted. Instead the new norm will be pleading to
Almighty God for a drop of water to soothe our tongues. The period of
tribulation will be a time when many will try to save the world, and fail.
Then, when they see someone who can stop the depravity, stop the down spiral of
the stock market, stop the looting, put food on the table, make great empty
political promises that cannot and will not be kept - they will give him the
governments of the world to run. They will give him authority over the
ecumenical churches, and some will bow to him even taking a mark of obedience.
The technology is there today to find you wherever you are, whenever they want
to. Some even buy it in a cell phone, GPS, or hidden in the tag attached to
your shirt collar.
RFID
is everywhere. Finally in a fit of pride, this person will call himself God
before all the people.
But there's more.
This tribulation is nearly here. It's so close that we can almost touch it. Do
you want to live through it? Or would your prefer that the days were shortened
so that they would go by faster? Jesus called the period of earthquakes,
droughts, famine and pestilence something special, "All these are the beginning
of sorrows." ( Matt 24,8) The tsunami was terrible. It was sorrowful. So
sorrowful that almost every world country sent money to help the victims. Some
countries are helping drought affected countries by sending water to the drought
affected areas. It's sorrowful.
But there's more.
It's only the beginning.
It's going to continue to happen.
It's not going to stop, because we the children of God are not stopping what has
angered him from the beginning. Sin. If you don't know what sin is, ask
someone. If you don't know how to get out of sin, let me give you the answer...
Jesus our Savior Christ. If you don't
know how to get to Christ let me give you that answer - ask Him to accept you.
But I warn you, He will only accept you if you are ready to renounce your sin of
the past, and declare you are going to be a new person - changed on the inside -
as righteous as you can be without getting proud.
But there's more.
In the end, when the tribulation comes your salvation and the help of Jesus
Christ as your Savior will guarantee you a place in heaven when you leave the
earth. Without Jesus as your Savior, when you die you will be nothing more than
food for the birds. Don't believe me? When the earthquake opens your casket
and the worms feed on you, then the birds feed on the worms, you're nothing but
bird food. But, with the promise of salvation, you are kings and princes,
rulers of great cities and peoples because it's the promise of Christ.
It's only the beginning.
It's going to happen.
Where will you be?
Ask Jesus to be your Savior now. // Lord Jesus, do you remember me? I'm
sorry for doing the things I've done that have made you angry. I have failed to
be the best that I can be. I don't even know what you want of me. But, if You
will help me, I will listen. If You help me, I will do better. Will you help
me? Will you be my Savior? I want to go to heaven when I die, not to hell.
Whatever it takes, please, don't let me go to hell. I might be scared as I say
this, and I might be crying, but don't let me go. Be my safety. Be my guide.
Be the thing in my life that I need most. Help me to know what you want. I
love you. Amen. //
