holding the four winds of the earth,

Revelation 7:1

1* "The restraining Spirit of God is even now being withdrawn from the world.

Hurricanes,

storms,

tempests,

fire and flood,

disasters by sea and land,

follow each other in quick succession.

**Science** seeks to explain all these.

The signs thickening around us,
telling of the near approach of the Son of God,
are attributed to any other than the true cause.

Men cannot discern the sentinel angels restraining the four winds that they shall not blow until the servants of God are sealed; but when God shall bid His angels loose the winds, there will be such a scene of strife as no pen can picture." Testimonies For The Church vol.6, p.408 E.G.W.

Green Sabbath

Once A Week,

 Give Our Beautiful Planet A Day Of Rest.

A Green Sabbath Day.

Green Sabbath is a non-religious, non-political, and non-profit campaign which aims to raise awareness and to encourage people to help slow climate change, preserve precious natural resources and improve planet health by observing at least one

carbon footprint-free day each week--on any day of the week. We call it symbolically A Green Sabbath day.
The organization’s name borrowed symbolically from traditions’ day of rest and conservation. Sabbath is not a new idea. Although Green Sabbath has no religious affiliations, its vision was inspired by essence of two traditions. One is the ancient tradition of Sabbath practiced in some form by all major faiths. The other is the likes of contemporary movements such as Paul McCartney's “Meat Free Monday” and “Wheatless Wednesday” that were introduced to encourage public to observe an ecological conservation day. A period of environmental rest.
Hitting the climate change targets agreed in Paris is estimated to cost $16.5trn. But, there's hardly any costs to keeping Green Sabbath days to cut carbon emissions!!!"

3* From....
"ENCYCLICAL LETTER
LAUDATO SI’
OF THE HOLY FATHER
FRANCIS ON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME

One authoritative source of oversight and coordination is the law, which lays down rules for admissible conduct in the light of the common good......An awareness of the gravity of today’s cultural and ecological crisis must be translated into new habits........Sunday, like the Jewish Sabbath, is meant to be a day which heals our relationships with God, with ourselves, with others

and with the world. Sunday is the day of the Resurrection, the “first day” of the new creation, whose first fruits are the Lord’s risen humanity, the pledge of the final transfiguration of all created reality. It also proclaims “man’s eternal rest in God”.......And so the day of rest, centred on the Eucharist, sheds it light on the whole week, and motivates us to greater concern for nature and the poor......Everything is interconnected, and this invites us to develop a spirituality of that global solidarity which flows from the mystery of the Trinity......The Earth Charter asked us to leave behind a period of self-destruction and make a new start, but we have not as yet developed a universal awareness needed to achieve this. Here, I would echo that courageous challenge: “As never before in history, common destiny beckons us to seek a new beginning… Let ours be a time remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration of life”..... The universe unfolds in God, who fills it completely. Hence, there is a mystical meaning to be found in a leaf, in a mountain trail, in a dewdrop, in a poor person’s face. The ideal is not only to pass from the exterior to the interior to discover the action of God in the soul, but also to discover God in all things. Saint Bonaventure teaches us that “contemplation deepens the more we feel the working of God’s grace within our hearts, and the better we learn to encounter God in creatures outside ourselves”."

....for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie,

and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator,

Romans 1:25 ASV

4* This is from ESRA (Environmental & Social Responsibility Act).....It was introduced in 2011 by secular liberals and the Red Letter Christian organization (theological liberal group) by then (D) congressman Dennis Kucinich. It failed to get through committee. In 2015 the Huffington Post, MoveOn.org, DailyKos and others have begun a public push for it again along with the GMP (Global Marshall Plan for the environment)...here is bit of ESRA from it's legislative proposal....

"Earth being the natural and sacred home of all its peoples, Congress shall develop and pass legislation to enhance the environmental sustainability of human communities and the planet Earth,.......The objectives of such legislation shall include but not be limited to alleviating global warming, reducing all forms of pollution, restoring the ecological balance of the oceans, and

assuring the well-being of all forests, rivers, lakes and streams, and supplies of water,  and protect animal life. The President of the United States shall have the obligation to enforce such legislation and the power to develop executive policies to assure the carrying out of these objectives......In order to prepare the people of the United States to live as environmentally and socially responsible citizens of the world,... every educational institution receiving federal, state, county or city  funds shall provide education in reading, writing and basic arithmetic, and appropriate instruction in environmental and social responsibility, including at least one required course for all its students per year per grade level from kindergarten through 12th grade,.....Any part of the Constitution or the laws of the U.S. or any of its states deemed by a court to be in conflict with any part of this amendment shall be null and void with regard to that part of its implementation which is inconsistent with this Amendment. ......Factors to be considered by the environmental and social responsibility panel (ESRP) in determining whether a corporation has met the environmental, social and ethical responsibilities necessary to have their charter renewed shall include but not be limited to:----to resist the organizing of a union, (*SDA's see below) or to resist other community attempts to encourage the corporation to be more environmentally and socially responsible;"

* ...The time is fast coming when the controlling power of the labor unions will be very oppressive. ..... unions will be formed, and those who refuse to join these unions will be marked men -- E. G. White Letter 5, 1904--Letter 26, 1903 E.G.W.

P.S.----when it comes to unions & end times....is Mrs. White referring to post-mark of the beast or pre-mark of the beast......because the trade unions were the cornerstone of Marxism last century that caused bloodshed globally.....{Those forming the labor unions are determined to have their own way. Violence and death mean nothing to them if their unions are opposed. E. G. White Letter 93, 1904}the Bolshevik Revolution by Marxists & unions that slaughtered millions....Stalin slaughtering 20,000,0000 peasant farmers for not collectivizing (unionizing)... Mao joined by the labor unions slaughtering more in post WW2 China to take power than died in ALL of WW2 combined.....and the list could go on....so looking back White was right....as for any further future activity of unions in the end times...we shall see......

5* O.K....let's play WHAT IF BY CHANCE-- A GREEN SABBATH CAME ABOUT OVER THE NEXT PRESIDENTS TERM....Which of the MAJOR 2016 candidates would go which route to a Green Sabbath???

Route via Option #2 above would be Democrat Hillary Clinton. It

would fit best with the upscale secular elites who are friendly with Wall Street and corporations as well as the Hollywood Liberal Elites...



Route via Option #3 above would most likely be the

Republicans with ties to the Christian Right within the base...such as Rubio, Cruz & even Trump in this case.....



Route via Option #4 above would be Sanders who would fit nicely with the most radical of the

left...and based on ESRA, the most anti-capitalist & anti-Constitutional types.....

Of course it doesn't matter who the President is...when it comes about --- it comes about & they will all unite
