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 - Latin America Is Running Out of Water

Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.... for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Luje 21:10,11/Matthew 24:6

"Traffic through the Panama Canal is nearly half-capacity these days. Normally, 40 ships take the world’s greatest shortcut through its locks each day. Last week, the Canal Authority reduced daily

passages to 25, while predicting further cuts to 18 by February. The immediate cause is Panama’s driest October since recordkeeping began in 1950. 

Panama is not the only Latin American country currently facing water scarcity. To the contrary, the entire region is in the grips of a dry spell. A historic drought is ravaging Brazil's Amazon, with a record 3,858 fires ripping through the state of Amazonas this month. 

With their “river highway” drained, riverine communities face emergency-level shortages in food, medicine and drinking water, while endangered river dolphins and other species are dying en masse. 

Meanwhile, farmers from the Dominican Republic to Argentina are reporting millions of dollars in crop losses. The Dominican Republic sealed its border with Haiti over a water dispute. 

Mexico City is rationing water due to reservoirs at historic lows at the end of what is supposed to be its rainy season. Water supplies stored in the glaciers of the Andes are receding, reducing their ability to replenish drainage basins and aquifers with meltwater during warmer, drier months, leading western Bolivia to ration water. 

Central Chile is buckling under 14 years of consecutive drought, which analysts have taken to calling a “mega drought.” 

Warmer surface waters block upwelling of nutrient-rich, cold waters from the ocean’s depths. Fewer nitrates and phosphates reach the surface, reducing the phytoplankton population. That in turn ripples up the food chain. Fish stocks plummet as species die or migrate, wreaking havoc on communities that depend on them for their livelihoods." MS

Creation Moment 10/16/2023 - Turtles were Always Turtles...Complete with Turtle DNA

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind.... Genesis 1:24

"Currently, only seven species of sea turtles exist. The remains of a

turtle shell recently found in the Chagres Formation on Panama’s Caribbean coast represent the oldest fossil evidence of these turtles ever found..... the paleontologists discovered something unexpected in the fossil bones of this turtle: traces of DNA. “Within the entire vertebrate fossil record on the planet, this had only been previously reported in two dinosaur fossils, including one of Tyrannosaurus rex,” Dr. Cadena said."

IN the NEWS - Catholic Church & Unions Meddle in Politics

 Catholic Church still stout....

And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. Daniel 7:20

"After enduring weeks of increasingly intense protests, strikes,

and highway blockades that led to fuel and other product shortages, the Panamanian government last week announced it will exert control over the prices of 72 food items, and this week agreed to impose price caps on 150 medicines.

The commitment was the culmination of the latest round of Catholic Church-mediated negotiations between the Panamanian government and representatives of a coalition of protesters that included labor unions, civic organizations and indigenous people. The broad protest movement was initially sparked by teachers striking over the higher cost of their commutes, due to higher gas prices.

So far, the measure has had the desired effect. Panamanian Security Minister Juan Manuel Pino said the country's roads were "all open" for the first time in weeks, and teachers returned to school on Tuesday, Aug 2." ZeroHedge

SDA News - SDA in Olympics

"Nathalee Aranda is an Adventist athlete from Panama who will compete on Saturday night, July 31, 2021, during the Tokyo Olympics. She will compete in the women’s long jump.

Adventists will not only watch, but many will watch the games on

the Sabbath if their national team is competing on that day. In fact, many will almost certainly be praying to God for their team to win. We should pray; but we should be praying for our nation, our churches and families because while the world is distracted by the Olympics, our freedoms are being taken away. We are facing a very serious crisis and even after the Olympics are over, the problems facing our world are just beginning. Some may see the Olympics as a temporary escape from the endless 24-hour news coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic. But it’s not just the Covid-19 crisis; sin, rebellion, ungodliness, terror and fear have taken over not only our nation but the entire world. 

When you belong to Christ, you are on the winning team! And just as the Olympics will have millions of fans watching and cheering for their teams, God has an innumerable company of saints throughout the universe who worship and praise Him; not only in this life, but in the life to come.

“And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.” 1 Corinthians 9:25.

Long after this world has ended with all of its sporting events; those who are on God’s team will triumph throughout eternity with their crowns of glory." AdventMessenger

IN the NEWS - Under the Machete of satan

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.

 He was a murderer from the beginning,

not holding to the truth,

for there is no truth in him.

...for he is a liar and the father of lies.

John 8:44 NIV

 

"Seven people were killed in a bizarre religious ritual in a jungle community in Panama, in which indigenous residents were rounded up by about 10 lay preachers and tortured, beaten, burned and hacked with machetes to make them ''repent their sins,''

authorities said Thursday.
Police freed 14 members of the Ngabe Bugle indigenous group who had been tied up and beaten with wooden cudgels and Bibles.
Local prosecutor Rafael Baloyes described a chilling scene found by investigators when they made their way through the jungle-clad hills to the remote Ngabe Bugle indigenous community near the Caribbean coast Tuesday.

Alerted by three villagers who escaped and made their way to a local hospital for treatment earlier, police were prepared for something bad, Baloyes said, but were still surprised by what they discovered at an improvised ''church'' at a ranch where a little-known religious sect known as ''The New Light of God'' was operating.
''All of these rites were aimed at killing them if they did not repent their sins,'' he said. ''There was a naked person, a woman,'' inside the building, where investigators found machetes, knives and a ritually sacrificed goat, he said.
The rites had been going on since Saturday, and had already resulted in deaths, Baloyes said.

Ricardo Miranda, leader of the Ngabe Bugle semi-autonomous zone known as a Comarca, called the sect ''satanic'' and said it went against the region's Christian beliefs.
''We demand the immediate eradication of this Satanic sect, which violates all the practices of spirituality and co-existence in the Holy Scriptures,'' Miranda said."
