IN the NEWS - Firenado's to Quakes

For nation shall rise against nation,

and kingdom against kingdom:

and there shall be famines,

and pestilences,

and earthquakes,

in divers places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars:

And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, ...and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Matthew 24:7,8,6/Luke 21:11

This string of massive natural disasters gripping the planet continues:

China: The Floods continue to ravage a majority of the Chinese

Exploding vehicles across China

landmass as the record heatwave continues along with now vehicles exploding due to batteries overheating. Apparently 19 provinces are impacted. Also massive winds hit portions of the country--again. Record hail storm pounds Hainan Province.

U.S.A.: A FIRENADO (tornado mixed with a wildfire it carries along) swept parts of Utah. Earthquake off the coast of Alaska triggering a tsunami warning.

Firenado in Utah

Massive flooding of NYC, 90% of New Jersey as well as Davenport, Iowa and central Texas. Wildfire sweeps through the Grand Canyon.

Italy: Largest quake yet in Naples sends people into streets screaming in panic. Asphalt has been splitting roads with the smell of sulfur heavy in the air.

France: Southeast France pounded by rain and hail leading to flooding.

Germany: Central Germany now flooded.

Solar Flare this week

Spain: Earthquake shakes 50 cities across southern Spain while rains triggered severe flooding at the same time.

Sun: Massive solar flare length of the sun shot out but was facing away from earth. (you know---the kind if it hit earth would knock out power grids)

Morocco: Record heatwave. Deaths reported.

Iceland: Volcano sends out molten rivers.

Ethiopia: Volcano erupts. 

Japan: More quakes now topping 2,000 off the coast and separating 2 islands further apart.

Turkey: Out-of-Control wildfires...worst in nation's history.

"Rumors of War": Rumors are swirling that China is preparing to start WW3 by attacking Taiwan. A city on the coast of China across from Taiwan is on lockdown and the residents claim it is filling up with Chinese military supplies. Their theory is

that China will start a war by launching into Taiwan so as to unify the homeland as opposition, protests and riots mount against the communist government to all time highs. Especially during the ongoing devastation to China by "mother earth". 

Some Chinese netizens claim it would be a way to shift focus from the devastation of their nation. Also, the U.S., Philippines, Japan and Taiwan are engaged in major military exercises. 

The U.S. is also running their biggest exercises with Panama near the canal in it's history adding to the rumor mill. Also China has warned the U.S. of military action.

Q: So, is this just China huffing and puffing to change focus of the home front problems OR is something about to really happen?

A: We will see.....

IN the NEWS - There's More..... (plus a sidenote)

For nation shall rise against nation,

and there shall be famines,

and pestilences,

and earthquakes,

in divers places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Matthew 24:7,8

There's more to follow-up last weeks post.

*CHINA: According to news reports China may be now 50%

flooded under water! Besides last weeks flooding by the government in the west central impacting nearly 100,000,000 people (wiping out crops, farm animals and people), and the golf ball sized hail that pounded the north (killing farm animals and destroying crops) and in the south record rainfall flooding the region along with many landslides. Looting and riots in Guangdong.

Since then there has now been the biggest earthquake in a decade in China hitting the south along with a typhoon causing even more flooding. And now----the biggest wildfires on record in China

sweeping through land and cities causing the closing of businesses and schools due to smoke.....if it's not flooded it's burning....of course we can't forget their claim a few weeks ago of a resurgent COVID pandemic.....so the worry with all this destruction of farms and farm animals is that China could face a real Famine in the near future of the likes not seen since Mao's so-called "Great Leap Forward."....time will tell........

ELSEWHERE....

*Philippines: Several more quakes including on the Philippine Trench in the ocean as well as the capital of Manilla flooded.

*Indonesia: Volcanic eruption.

*India: Major flooding and landslides in the north.

*Columbia: Flash floods sweeping away people in their beds at night in Medellin along with a loud boom under ground and collapsing of mountain.

*France: Stunning rain and hail flooding Paris in 10 minutes along with a pounding by lightning. Also more rain/flooding into northeast France to Normandy. The southwest pounded by hail.

*Germany & Austria: Massive flooding from rain and hail in southern and western Germany and parts of Austria. Germany had serious floods also last year in 2024.

*Italy: Along with the more than 15,000 recorded small quakes in the south the last couple of months---now there is a "girgling" sound detected under Naples as well as Mt. Etna having a small eruption resulting in a "unknown substance" being spit out from beneath the earth.

*Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico: An earthquake in the Caribbean resulting in damage and death in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

*Venezuela: Rains and Tidal Waves washing inland have flooded 3 western states holding 70% of the nations farmland. Also many landslides and most bridges out hampering rescue operations.

*Thailand: Massive Flooding from rains.

*U.S.A.: Hail pounded both of the Carolinas around Metro-Charlotte. Metro-Atlanta in Georgia sees serious flooding. Central New York State sees minor flooding (Some flooding in the U.S. is routine each year -- but considering the magnitude of global flooding over the last couple of weeks.....) Also major Flooding in Kentucky, West Virginia and Ohio including Dayton as well as Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hail in Florida.

Mt. St. Helens in Washington State is experiencing multiple tremors with a bulge forming near the edge of the top. The McDermitt Caldera on the Oregon-Nevada border is now heating up and rising. The heatwave gripping the Midwest is said to likely last ALL SUMMER with the only relief on days it rains. Multiple 7.0 quakes off the Aleutian Island chain of Alaska were in a cluster. That usually, but not always, precedes a major tidal wave quake at some point. This one, if were to happen there due to a bigger quake, could produce waves over 1,000 feet tall that won't stop until they reach Australia and New Zealand.

SIDENOTE: As Trump restores America to super power status on the world stage to meet one day it's place in prophecy (by whoever is President when it comes) China, America's main rival to global leadership is being beat down.

But not only the overwhelming natural disasters pounding the nation but also it's embarrassment on the world stage over the Pakistan-

India War that lasted barely more than a weekend. Pakistan was unable to stop India at all, even from flattening it's main nuclear base. And nearly all of Pakistan's military equipment was stamped "made in China". Compare and contrast Trump's strike on Iran's nuclear sites. Imagine the message that sent to Putin and China.

And of course Trump's tariff war with China, which led to China crying uncle in a matter of weeks, nearly collapsed the Chinese economy.

IN OTHER WORDS---is anyone noticing that America's main opposition to global hegemony is slowly being reduced---militarily and economically by the U.S. President and physically by "mother nature" in a series of fast moving events?

ARCHAEOLOGY: Frankfurt Amulet

"1,800-year-old silver amulet could rewrite history of Christianity in

the early Roman Empire (14 Dec 2024, Live Science). 

“An 1,800-year-old silver amulet discovered in a burial in Germany,” writes the reporter, “is the oldest evidence of Christianity north of the Alps, according to a new study.” The amulet dates to sometime between 230 to 270 AD, and was discovered in a grave near Frankfurt, the east of the Rhine river.

“What makes this particular example remarkable is that it is written entirely in Latin and exclusively invokes Jesus Christ and the Christian god,” Rassalle said, which is unusual because most amulets “also appeal to angels, demons, or other supernatural entities.”

The wafer-thin silver foil inscribed with writing took years of careful preservation and CT scanning to reveal the writing. The translation of the Latin text reads, with question marks indicating uncertainties:

In the name?) of Saint Titus. Holy, holy, holy! In the name of JesusChrist, Son of God! The Lord of the world resists with [strengths?] all attacks(?)/setbacks(?). The God(?) grants entry to well-being. May this means of salvation(?) protect the man who surrenders himself to the will of the Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, since before Jesus Christ every knee bows: those in heaven, those on earth and those under the earth, and every tongue confesses (Jesus Christ).

Implications
---The writer appears to reference the Epistle of Paul to Titus and the Epistle of Paul to the Philippians. 

---It does not ask for any kind of magical protection, which fits the Christian view that rejects divination and sorcery. 

---Instead, the text presents the gospel of Jesus Christ as the Son of God before whom all people will bow, as stated in Philippians 2:10-11 (That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.).

---The mention of Jesus as “Lord of the world” also points to His role as Creator (All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:3). 

---And the Trisagion (“Holy, holy, holy”) indicates familiarity with either Isaiah 6:3 (And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory.) or Revelation 4:8 (And the four beasts had each of them six wings about Him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.) with its Trinitarian overtones. 

*By implication, the wearer may have had access to translations of these portions of Scripture in his native language, and had been instructed in Christian doctrine at this early date. The date of the artifact, therefore, could be years or decades later than the arrival of the gospel in the Frankfurt area."

Man has not made Moral Progress

......and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 1 John 5:19

"Between the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, and the outbreak of what is now called the First World War in 1914, there was a

century of widespread peace and very rapid economic, scientific, technological, and cultural development. 

The transformation of the world of horse and carriage to automobile and then to airplanes, from wooden sailing ship to steel steamship and submarine, from carrier pigeon to telegraph and telephone, was perhaps the most dramatic transformation ever seen in one century. 

---It appeared that humanity was becoming better, and perhaps her baser instincts would be overcome as poverty and want were steadily eradicated.

But this theory suffered a mortal blow with the events of the 20th Century. The 20th Century demonstrated, in a most horrific and unforgettable manner, that there was no correlation between technological advance and moral advance. We saw continual genocides and mass murders throughout that century, beginning with the Armenian Genocide of 1915 and ending with the Rwandan Genocide of 1994. 

We saw two devastating world wars, more destructive than anything seen before, and the beginning of chemical weapons, and nuclear weapons “of mass destruction.”

To utterly dispel the notion of moral progress, one need only contemplate the history of Germany. The last nation in Europe to

coalesce from a fragmented collection of principalities and duchies into a powerful nation-state and then an empire, Germany was the mightiest and most advanced nation in the world. Her universities were the finest on earth, her scientists were unrivaled, her chemical industry was the envy of the industrial West, her engineering synonymous with excellence, her arts and culture peerless. 

---And yet all of Germany’s many advantages and achievements did not prevent the horrors of the death camps."

ARCHAEOLOGY: What DA's tell us......

"The period of the Ice Age, called the Pleistocene, presents many

puzzles for secular scientists. Plants and animals from widely different climates or environments are found together in Ice Age deposits. These are called ‘disharmonious associations’ (DAs).

Probably the most striking example of a DA during the Ice Age is the association of hippopotamus fossils with reindeer, musk oxen, and woolly mammoths in England, France, and Germany. So far about 100 of these associations have been discovered in England and Wales. Hippos are intolerant of the cold. Sutcliffe states:

"Finding conditions so favorable, the hippopotamus (today an inhabitant of the equatorial regions) had been able to spread northwards throughout most of England and Wales, up to an altitude of 400 meters on the now bleak Yorkshire [northern England] moors."

---The wide variety of Ice Age animals found in England indicates that early in the Ice Age, there must have been an easy passage between what is now France and England. 

---This was likely a land bridge in the location of the Dover Strait.

Secular scientists attempt to dodge the implications of DAs. Since they believe in multiple ice ages, one strategy is placing the hippos and other warmth-adapted creatures into the ‘interglacial’ phases and the cold-tolerant animals into the ‘glacial’ phases. (We supposedly live in an interglacial called the Holocene.)

Much to secularists’ consternation, warm- and cold-loving animal types are often found together in Ice Age sediments, making it difficult to separate them into glacial and interglacial inhabitants.

Disharmonious associations were the ‘rule’ and not the exception during the Ice Age, and included a wide variety of flora and fauna:

"Late Pleistocene [Ice Age] communities were characterized by the coexistence of species that today are allopatric [live in different regions not climatically associated] and presumably ecologically incompatible. … Disharmonious associations have been documented for late Pleistocene floras … terrestrial invertebrates … lower vertebrates, birds, and mammals."

DAs can only occur in an equable climate, one with little seasonal contrast between winters and summers.

One reason DAs remain a mystery for uniformitarian scientists is that in their models, the ice ages would have been very cold. Many climate simulations have been run. They all give temperatures much colder than today, generally by 10°C (18°F) or more, and greater dryness south of the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets.

"One of the longest-running philosophical debates in paleoecological interpretations concerns the importance of mixed, or disharmonious, assemblages which represent past communities with no modern analog. These mixed assemblages challenge our world views. … Mixed assemblages are usually explained by invoking past climates more “equable” than that of today."

The Ice Age caused by the Genesis Flood explains the most striking DA—hippopotamuses associated with cold-tolerant animals in northwest Europe. Early in the Ice Age a warm, moist onshore air flow pushed by predominantly westerly winds off a warm North Atlantic Ocean would result in a warm, wet climate over northwest Europe. England may have averaged 25°C (77°F) in winter and summer. This mild climate would be congenial for hippos spreading from the “mountains of Ararat” (Genesis 8:4) in the Middle East.

But the post-Flood Ice Age climate was dynamic and ever-changing.

As the ocean cooled and volcanism decreased, the land temperatures cooled. In Northwest Europe late in the Ice Age, the cooler and drier climate attracted cold-tolerant animals. Hippos likely could not migrate south, because the land bridge between England and France at the Dover Strait was destroyed by a catastrophic local flood.

he strange mix of plants and animals that lived together during the Ice Age is another of the many puzzles that have persisted for 150 years for scientists who ignore the Biblical Flood. But, once again, realistic analysis using a Genesis-based model of Earth history gives simple, solid answers to those puzzles."

Health Note - Mummified infant shows how a lack of sunlight can kill

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest...be in health,..

3 John 1:2

"A team of scientists based in Germany examined the mummified remains of an infant from the 17th century, found in a crypt reserved for the Austrian aristocracy. The crypt’s conditions, along with

having a complete lack of sunlight, allowed for natural mummification, preserving the soft tissues, which provided crucial information about the child’s health and cause of death.

The child was identified as likely being Reichard Wilhelm, the first-born son of a Count of Starhemberg, who lived during the Renaissance-a period marked by significant scientific and artistic advancements.

The virtual autopsy revealed that the child was overweight for his age, indicating he had sufficient food intake. However, his ribs

showed malformations known as rachitic rosary, typically associated with severe rickets or scurvy, conditions resulting from vitamin D deficiency (which happens, amongst other methods, from having a lack of sunlight). This paradox of being well-fed yet malnourished underscores the complexity of nutritional health at the time.

The human body synthesizes vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, specifically ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. In the case of the mummified infant, a lack of sunlight exposure was identified as the primary cause of the vitamin D deficiency, leading to rickets and ultimately contributing to pneumonia, which proved fatal."

Neology: Roots of Modern Liberal Christianity

"The term Neology, or Rationalism, has been applied to the actual

creed of a large portion of the members of the German church, who profess a nominal adhesion to the Augsburgh Confession of Faith, while they reject its fundamental principles, and maintain tenets which the Saxon reformers would have regarded as "damnable heresies." (2 Peter 2:1)

Like many other forms of error, 

---Neology did not make its first appearance among the common people. 

---Neology had its birth among those, who held the part of watchmen on the walls of Zion; among professors of theology, whose rank, learning, and talents gave them a controlling influence over the opinions of the religious world. 

These were the men, who applied their strength to rend down the pillars of the temple of truth, who labored by every insidious art of false interpretation to pervert and render 4 powerless that book, which its Author designed to be "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." (Psalm 119:105)

The time had not arrived when a religious instructor might announce that he believed in no other religion than that of nature. Some latitude might be allowed, on the ground that though he was not a believer of

Luther's school, yet he was a rational Christian, as might naturally be expected of one, who lived in "the age of light." 

He might be a skeptic in heart and life, so long as he pretended to be a disciple of Christ. He must profess to believe the Bible, while he was allowed, by every art of fallacious criticism, to explain away all those doctrines, which hold a vital alliance with the redemption of man.

Such was the origin of Neology. Its form has varied with the changing breath of public opinion and the exigency of circumstances. At one period, it boldly took the field against evangelical religion, and hardly sought a disguise. 

In the writings of Fichte and Forberg, and some others of the transcendental school, it would have received the name of atheism, in our land. In the hands of other artists, it has assumed the shape of the Pantheism of the Greek philosophers. Now it is "liberal Christianity," or "Rationalism"-again it is marked by an icy indifference to all revelation.

In all that addresses itself to the conscience of man, he is sure to fail, because, in his own conscience, there is no chord that responds to the touch of truth. If, perchance, he should feel at all, he will be offended with those declarations which announce his danger as a sinner, and his entire dependance on God.

It might naturally be expected, that, in the war waged against the

holy writings, the inspiration of the prophets would be the earliest point of attack. 

The celebrated W. Gesenius, as we have been told by one who heard his lectures on Isaiah, often compared the inspiration of that prophet and the inspiration of the Grecian Homer. In point of strength of imagination, he represented the two poets as nearly on a level.

Semler, Professor of Divinity at Halle, began to lecture and publish on the subject of interpretation, in a manner that excited the attention of the whole German empire. The grand principle by which he explained away whatever he did not think proper to believe, was that which has been called accommodation. He maintained that the apostles and the Savior often admitted representations and doctrines into their instructions, which were calculated merely for the purpose of persuading the Jews, being accommodated to their prejudices; but which were not intended to be a real directory of sentiment. In this way, whatever was inconsistent with his own views, he called accommodation; and thus, at once, expunged it from the list of Christian doctrines.

Thus with Eichorn, the account of the creation and fall of man, is merely a poetical, philosophical speculation of some ingenious person, on the origin of the world and of evil. So, in regard to the

offering up of Isaac by Abraham, he says, The Godhead could not have required of Abraham so horrible a crime; and there can be no justification, palliation or excuse, for this pretended command of the divinity.' He then explains it. 'Abraham dreamed that he must offer up Isaac, and according to the superstition of the times, regarded it as a divine admonition. He prepared to execute the mandate which his dream had conveyed to him. A lucky accident (probably the rustling of a ram who was entangled in the bushes) hindered it; and this, according to ancient idiom, was also the voice of the divinity.' 

The same writer represents the history of the Mosaic legislation, at Mount Sinai, in a curious manner. Moses ascended to the top of Sinai, and built a fire there, (how he found wood on this barren rock, or raised it to the top, Eichorn does not tell us,) a fire consecrated to the worship of God, before which he prayed. Here, an unexpected and tremendous thunder storm occurred. He seized the occasion to proclaim the laws which he had composed in his retirement, as the statutes of Jehovah; leading the people to believe that Jehovah had conversed with him. Not that he was a deceiver, but he really believed that the occurrence of such a thunder storm was a sufficient proof of the fact that Jehovah had spoken to him, or sanctioned the work in which he had been engaged. The prophecies of the Old Testament, are, according to him, patriotic wishes, 18 expressed with all the fire and elegance of poetry, for the future prosperity, and a future deliverer of the Jewish nation.

In like manner, C. F. Ammon, Professor of Theology at Erlangen, tells us, in respect to the miracle of Christ's walking on the water, that, 'to walk on the sea, is not to stand on the waves, as on the solid ground, as Jerome dreams, but to walk through the waves so far as the shoals reached, and then to swim.'

Thiess, in his commentary on the Acts, explains the miraculous

effusion of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost, (Acts ii.) in the following manner: 'It is not uncommon,' says he, 'in those countries, for a violent gust of wind to strike on a particular spot or house; such a gust is commonly accompanied by the electric fluid; and the sparks of this are scattered all around. These float about the chamber, become apparent, and light upon the disciples.

At present, the leading German critics (rejecting accommodation, and casting off all ideas of the divine origin of the Scriptures) are disputing with great zeal, the questions, whether a miracle be possible? Whether God and nature are one and the same?

Some time ago, many of their critics maintained, that no Messiah was predicted in the Old Testament; but now, they question even whether the Jews had any expectation of one.

Some of the Germans have taken the position that "Moses wrote nothing more than the laws which are contained in the Pentateuch, and that the historical parts have been added in later ages, from traditions." This position is defended on the ground that miracles are impossible.
Having disposed of the claim of Moses to thy authorship of the Pentateuch, these critics are unable to agree as to the real author. Rosenm¸ller, enumerates no less than twelve theories on this single point, all different, and many contradictory.

We have passed thus hastily through this wilderness of error, not that we take pleasure in tracing the downward course of men, who, abandoning the guide which God has provided, wander on in utter darkness; but, because duty demands that their example should be held up as a warning to others. 

It is highly probable that when these writers first commenced their rash speculations, they never dreamed of the results to which they were finally led."

Global Cenozoic coals indicate high post-Flood boundary

For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth. Genesis 7:4

"Thick Cenozoic (with respect to the secular understanding of the

geologic column) coal beds have been discovered on nearly every continent. 

North America has its most extensive and thickest coal beds in the Lower Cenozoic section of the Powder River Basin, Wyoming. Powder River Basin coal beds, which are all within Paleogene system rock layers, contain the largest reserves of low-sulfur subbituminous coal in the world.

Cenozoic coal beds in South America are also the thickest and most extensive compared to other coal layers. Cenozoic coal beds alone make up about one half of all coal in South America and the tonnage is estimated to be greater than that found in any other geologic system or combination of systems.

Germany, one of the largest coal producers in Europe, has

approximately 65% of its coal reserves in Cenozoic rocks. 

Australia has vast coal beds in the Cenozoic basins along the country’s southern boundary, especially in the onshore and offshore portions of the Gippsland Basin. Here, the Miocene brown coals of the onshore Latrobe Valley are up to 200 m thick.

China has significant volumes of Cenozoic coal both onshore and offshore. The onshore coals are mostly in eastern China, found in Cenozoic-age basins. Early Cenozoic, Paleogene coals are found onshore in northeastern China, whereas the younger Neogene coals dominate the onshore in southeastern China.
An extensive Cenozoic coal deposit is also found in offshore China, offshore southeast Asia, and north and east of Russia under the Sea of Okhotsk and the Arctic Ocean (Laptev Sea and East Siberian Sea). The South China Sea has some of the deepest Cenozoic coals discovered to date and in the deepest water. Oil wells in an area of the southern South China Sea known as North Luconia (about 280 km west of Borneo) encountered Oligocene coal beds within a 1,500 m section of sediment that today resides 3,000 m below sea level.

Uniformitarian scientists believe all coals accumulate in situ and not by transport.
Q: So how do they justify these thick coal beds that accumulated so far offshore and in such deep water? 

Evolutionary geologist Peter Lunt tried to explain:

“Coal-bearing Late Oligocene beds are known in several wells in North Luconia, but now in water depths of more than 1,000 m, with these coals typically 3 km or more below modern sea level. These wells therefore indicate 3 km or more of basement [crustal] subsidence since the Late Oligocene.”

Lunt added that the depth of these coal beds complicates the necessary subsidence history of the area:

“Geohistory analysis of the G10-1 well shows that the Oligocene section [containing coal beds] drilled there is both thick and rapidly deposited. The facies [perceived environment] is remarkably consistent over the 2,100 m of section, with facies … suggesting coastal to very shallow marine throughout.”

Lunt explained that the lack of variation within the vast coal-rich

Oligocene section (greater than 10,000 km) was simply due to these thick coal beds having sunk at exactly the same rate as the coal was accumulating, keeping the coal swamps constantly at about sea level. Maintaining such a perfect balance of subsidence and deposition while a 1,500-m-thick section was accumulating across such a wide area seems highly improbable; such explanations are based on supposition and bring belief to the issue, not fact.

In total, over 3,000 m of subsidence had to take place in the southern South China Sea (1,500 m for the Oligocene coal beds and then a second 1,500 m to accommodate the deep-water Miocene rocks deposited on top). Subsidence is defined as the sudden sinking or gradual downward settling of the surface of the earth in a certain region with little or no horizontal motion. 

However, this particular act of subsidence had to be nearly instantaneous to change from a perceived ‘coastal’ environment to a ‘deep-water’ environment across the Oligocene-Miocene boundary. This explanation truly exceeds credible science.

Our conclusion is that all the onshore and the offshore Cenozoic coal beds were produced by the runoff processes late in the Flood. 

---Vast forests of trees living on the pre-Flood uplands were ripped

from the land as the floodwaters crested on Day 150. These huge mats of vegetation were trapped in subsiding Cenozoic basins buttressed by adjacent mountains that were simultaneously rising as the water began to recede. 

Other vast mats of vegetation may have been transported en masse off the various continents and buried in the ocean as the Flood continued to recede, creating vast Cenozoic coal beds offshore. This scenario best explains the Cenozoic coals found both onshore and offshore.

--The pre-Flood world was apparently stratified by ecological zones. 

Paleozoic coals, like those found in Lower Carboniferous and Permian rocks, are dominated by wetland and coastal plants living at near sea level such as lycopods and pteridosperms. 

Mesozoic coals are dominated by gymnosperms, ginkgos, and cycads, plants living at slightly higher elevation. 

Cenozoic coals are composed of mostly angiosperms and some gymnosperms that were living at the pre-Flood highest elevations. As the Flood sequentially progressed from Day 1 to Day 150, it inundated higher and higher ecological zones, resulting in the stratified fossils and coals we observe globally."

SDA Issues - The "Compliance Document"....Use It

But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said. Exodus 8:15

"The Hamburg-Grindelberg SDA Church in the North German Union is not resolving their problem of having an Out-and-Proud bisexual-pastor. In fact, they are pushing their LGBTQ agenda even further. Here are two examples,

*This week, the Grindel SDA Church announced on their website

that they are collaborating with SDA Kinship (a pro LGBTQ activist group).
*In April, 2024 they are having another pro-gay-theology conference. The purpose of this conference is to promote LGBTQ by twisting the Holy Scriptures.

Observations

Like cancer, this problem in Germany is getting worse by the month. And like cancer, it will eventually kill the patient.
---It started with the North German Union defying the world church on the issue of WO in 2012. 

As rebellion gives birth to rebellion, they have now moved on to the next gender confusion on the list, LBGTQ. Polyamory and pedophilia are next.

At Annual Council meeting 2023, the delegates voted to give the GC executive committee (themselves) the authority to resolve significant matters in the church at Spring Meeting as well as Fall Meeting. This authority, like the 2018 Compliance Document, means nothing if it isn’t used.

Use it.

The only other option is to let the church drift and bewail our fate when it crashes into the rocks of self-destruction.

Use it."

"As German leaders prepared for the invasion of the Soviet Union in spring 1941,...Soviet cities would be destroyed, Soviet industry destroyed, and eastern lands reduced to depopulated prairie ripe for German agrarian colonization.

But the Red Army resisted, and Stalin remained in the Kremlin. It proved difficult to starve large numbers of civilians without total control of territory. Stalin had managed to starve millions of his own citizens in these same lands a few years before, but he had at his disposal, then, an apparatus of terror and a loyal party organization that the invading Germans could not match.... The German Einsatzgruppen made selections of those whom they believed to be Jews and political officers and killed them on the spot. The concentration camps in Germany became killing facilities when they received Soviet prisoners, who were murdered in shooting campaigns at Dachau, Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen, Mauthausen and Auschwitz. Soviet prisoners were gassed experimentally, using both carbon monoxide (at Sachsenhausen) and hydrogen cyanide (at Auschwitz) – the two agents then used to asphyxiate millions of Jews.... Jews, on other hand, were targeted in 1942 for a policy of complete annihilation."
