--Rumors of Wars-- "Several state-linked Russian news outlets, including Komsomolskaya Pravda (KP), are warning of a nuclear

war with NATO. The reports claim that the West, including Britain and European countries, may provoke a large-scale war by the end of this decade. These reports feature Russian experts outlining what a confrontation could look like.
The articles state that NATO forces might be ready for combat by the end of the decade. Readers are told that this buildup is part of a strategy to provoke and divide Russia." msn

Q: Are we really sliding into the end times?

Q: Or will there be a lull before the real storm?

Q: Or is this just a taste of the future?

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.

Germany: Central Germany now flooded.

Solar Flare this week

"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.....

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.

WEATHER is Getting CREEPY

Dig Deeper: IN the NEWS - Don't Panic: All these are only the BEGINNING of sorrows

“It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday-sabbath, that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced, and that those who present the claims of the fourth commandment, thus destroying reverence for Sunday, are troublers of the people, preventing their restoration to divine favor and temporal prosperity”. E.G.W.

OBSERVE Through the PRISM of PROPHECY

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he

had two horns like a lamb, 

and he spake as a dragon. 

And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,

 and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Revelation 13:11,12

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?

Days of the Dead and "Ghosts" vs. God

"Although many affirm that Samhain was the origin of modern-day Halloween, it is significant to note how many cultures throughout the world have celebrated a “day of the dead” (often with sacrifices), occurring at the end of summer and fall. There seem to be too many parallels to call these similar celebrations a coincidence.

For example, in the Americas, there is the Mexican Day of the Dead

(El Día de los Muertos) that goes back to the ancient festival of the dead celebrated by Aztecs and the more-ancient Olmecs. 

Brazilians also celebrate Finados (Day of the Dead). Bolivia has the Day of the Skulls (Día de los Natitas).

In Asia, there are similar festivals. For example, the Chinese celebrated the Ghost Festival, which was a day to pay homage to dead ancestors. 

The Japanese celebrated something similar called O-bon or merely Bon. 

Even Vietnam has a variant of the Ghost Festival called Tet Trung Nguyen. 

In Korea, there is Chuseok or Hankawi, in which deceased ancestors are ritualized. 

In Nepal, there is the cow pilgrimage called Gia Jatra to honor the recently deceased. 

In the Philippines, there is the Day of the Dead (Araw ng mga Patay), where tombs are cleaned and repainted. 

Death is a terrible reality for all of us—not something to celebrate or treat as fun. 

*Death is the punishment for sin. 

Since all of us are sinners (Romans 3:23), we must realize that death is coming. 

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)."

IN the NEWS - More Car Free Sundays

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Galatians 1:6

"On June 9, 2024, City Mayor Alfredo Benitez, whose job it is to manage the City of Bacolod in the Philippines, urged the local city council to pass legislation aimed at making Car-Free Sunday permanent. The mayor’s plan for supporting a “permanent” Car-Free Sunday ordinance is to help make people healthy, as recommended by the doctors, and to help protect the environment.

The mayor expressed the following:
• “Bacolod City Mayor Alfredo ‘Albee’ Benitez said he has endorsed

to the Sangguniang Panlungsod (city council) the Car Free Sunday Ordinance.”
• “I hope the SP (city council) will approve the Ordinance so that it will be permanent,’ Benitez said.”
• “There will be four Sundays for the dry run of Car Free Sunday. From 5:00A.M to 8:00A.M. along Lacson street.”
• “Car Free Sunday is also Bacolod’s way of giving importance to the environment month this June.”
• “Proclamation No. 237 establishes June as Philippine Environment Month. The proclamation aims to increase environmental awareness and promote active involvement in protecting and developing the environment in the Philippines.”

To comply with “health experts,” the mayor is proposing a permanent law prohibiting cars on Sunday. We witnessed the same scenario during the pandemic. Draconian mandates were passed to force people to comply. God warned us that these same health reforms would be the reason for imposing Sunday rest on society.
“Here the temperance work, one of the most prominent and important of moral reforms, is often combined with the Sunday movement, and the advocates of the latter represent themselves as laboring to promote the highest interest of society; and those who refuse to unite with them are denounced as the enemies of temperance and reform” (Great Controversy, p. 587)."

IN the NEWS - Fearmongering of the Laudato Sì 'Action Platform

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Galatians 1:6

 

"The Catholic Church in the Philippines lives and celebrates the "Time of Creation" with full involvement. 

The Filipino Bishops exhorted priests, nuns, laity, families, communities and Catholic movements to safeguard creation, a gift of God, respecting every creature, the dignity of human life, the environment.....the "Time of Creation", which the universal Church celebrates from September 1st to October 4th, ...."Our common home is on the brink of catastrophe. Urgent action is needed. We hope that this Time of Creation will lead us to renew our commitment to act to ensure that all creation has a healthy and safe home in which to thrive and participate in the renewal of the Oikos (house) of God". 

 

Various activities have been organized throughout the country to launch the "Laudato Sì 'Action Platform", a seven-year program together to experience Laudato Sì. 

 

In the Pastoral Letter issued by the Bishops in all the dioceses, the faithful are also invited to sign a petition inviting international institutions to do more for the protection of the planet and therefore of humanity. 

 

Quoting the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, the Filipino Bishops say: "The world is dangerously close to irreversible global warming unequivocally caused by human activities. This is the context in which we are called to celebrate the Time of Creation, renewing and respecting our common Home which is on the brink of the abyss"."

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.

John 8:44

 

"Two women Islamic State terrorists blew themselves up in twin suicide attacks on Monday in the southern Philippine town of Jolo in Sulu province. Authorities counted at least 14 people, including soldiers, killed in the attacks and 75 others injured.

The first explosion, which accounted for the majority of Monday’s victims, occurred “near two parked army trucks in front of a grocery store and computer shop in a downtown plaza where the town cathedral is located,” military officials said.

 

In the second explosion, “the attacker blew herself up near a group of soldiers and police, killing one soldier and one police commando and wounding several others,” a military report stated.

The Philippine military is in the process of determining if the two female suicide bombers were the widows of Abu Sayyaf terrorists, according to the Associated Press (AP).

 

The Philippines and the U.S. have designated Abu Sayyaf a terrorist organization for violent attacks such as bombings, beheadings, and ransom kidnappings in the southwestern Philippines."

IN the NEWS - "Shoot To Kill" Lesson for Future

“The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones.......Those who honor the Bible Sabbath will be denounced as enemies of law and order, as breaking down the moral restraints of society, causing anarchy and corruption, and calling down the judgments of God upon the earth. Their conscientious scruples will be pronounced obstinacy, stubbornness, and contempt of authority. They will be accused of disaffection toward the government … In legislative halls and courts of justice, commandment keepers will be misrepresented and condemned. A false coloring will be given to their words; the worst construction will be put upon their motives”.
Testimonies, Vol. 9, p. 11/Great Controversy, p. 592 E.G.W. 

"The shoot-to-kill order issued by the President of the

Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, is a perfect example of government overreach. We are witnessing how passion and hysteria will soon abolish justice and reason. This is how free societies become police states.

A precedent is being set for the coming tyranny against God’s people. All the anger, stress, bitterness, anxiety, fear, and hysteria that we see in our world will soon be directed towards the

commandment-keeping people.

This “shoot-to-kill order” is just a shadow of what is coming.
We are living in a day that demands our full and undivided attention. We simply cannot think or live like we did 5 years ago. Those days are forever ended. Today we no longer live in ordinary times, and an ordinary experience will not suffice."
