IN the NEWS - Another Week... What is up?

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.

Matthew 24:7,8

We should be careful NOT to do Prophecy by Headline---but it would seem the last 3 weeks of worldwide calamities may be a taste of what is to come in the near future. The Question is: Is it beginning? Or just a Taste of the Future?

THIS WEEK:

U.S.A: Massive Flooding in Texas washing away people at night while sleeping and a children's summer camp. Massive Flooding in

New Jersey, Virginia and Pennsylvania. Massive wind and sand storm severely damaging Las Vegas. Red Alert issued in Hawaii due to a volcano "rising, shifting and cracking."

Italy: Of those more than 15,000 quakes in southern Italy over the last 2 months now the largest yet to rattle Naples hit along with a piece of Italy's coast breaking off and slipping under the waves. In the north multiple landslides and mudslides filling city streets.

Greece: The Island of Crete rattled by multiple quakes surrounding the island. Tourists evacuated.

Austria: Massive Landslides and military sent in to evacuate.

China: Several more Massive Flood outbreaks. Severe wind and

rain storms near Shanghai and Beijing closing the airports. Out of control Wild Fires still raging. Parts of China from the air looks like an ocean.

South Africa: Cape Town flooded by rains and a tidal wave.

Japan: Over 900 minor quakes with prediction of the big one coming.

Tonga: Rattled by an earthquake.

Indonesia: Moderate earthquake---but this is on the heels of last

weeks volcanic eruption.

Turkey: Small quake---but not far from the seismic activity rocking Italy and the Greek Islands the last 2 months.

Mexico: Tropical Storm floods east coast.

Moon: Prediction that an asteroid may be heading for the moon and striking it within a few years.

IN the NEWS - These Kind of Events.....

These are the kind of events that could scare people in the end times---on a much bigger scale of course--into calling out for turning back to God and result in embracing the mark of the beast...Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: Luke 21:26

"The volcano on Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai first erupted on Dec. 20 and then exploded with a massive eruption on Jan. 13, which was also spotted by GOES West, NOAA officials said in a statement. That eruption was seven times more powerful than the December event and sent a huge plume of ash and gas over 12 miles into Earth's atmosphere.

The eruption spawned a 4-foot tsunami that hit Tonga's capital of Nuku’alofa, which is about 40 miles south of the volcano. A sonic boom from the eruption was heard across the Pacific Ocean, reaching as far away as Alaska.

According to a statement by the Tsunami Warning Center of US National Weather Service, a tsunami warning has been issued for the west coast of the US from Alaska to California, and the west coast of Canada.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said Hawaii could also be affected, but damage to other islands hit by tsunami so far is minimal. Waves from the biggest tsunami threat to the West Coast in more than a decade arrived early Saturday morning with the rising morning tide and continued pulsating onshore throughout the day. All eyes were on the coast, and while the drama shut down the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and disrupted the day for beachgoers, by sunset the Bay Area appeared to dodge significant damage." SCS

"NASA is currently working on a 2005 task outlined by the US

Congress to catalogue and track an absolute majority of potentially dangerous NEOs – objects in space that come as close as 45 million kilometres to Earth's orbit around the Sun.

Due to the peculiarities of Earth's elliptic orbit around the Sun and the planet's eastward spin, some space objects might appear stationary when looked at through a telescope. Normally, near-Earth objects (NEOs) appear as drifting westward in the sky, but around half of them approaching the planet "from the east" might fall into this blind spot and remain undetected for a long period of time."
