A GROANING AND TRAVAILING CREATIONGreetings

The following contains much challenging information about the physical state of the world and the universe.

Apart from implicitly indicating further challenges with basing the dating of Passover on the state of Barley it seems to indicate that there are many other aspects of life which should cause us to seek the Almighty Father for guidance rather than leaning to our own understanding or the interpretation of men.

I continue to be highly challenged by developments at present.

Warm regards and blessings

James Robertson

A GROANING AND TRAVAILING CREATION

 

How much sand is left in the hour glass of this age?

Matthew 24 : 7.          

"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places."            

Luke 21 ; 25 - 26.

"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity ; the sea and the waves roaring ; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth ; for the powers of the heaven shall be shaken."

[1] Solar flares are leaving the sun's surface in record numbers, which indicates a transition taking place in that glowing stellar orb. We have seen the intense northern lights as a result of the solar flares. 

[2] An artic thaw warning has been issued, and 250 scientists have submitted a distressing report stating that the artic regions are warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

[3] In Switzerland. Glaciers are rapidly melting and have decreased in size 20% in the last fifteen years. 

[4] In some areas of the world, migratory birds have been seen flying north for the winter and have taken other strange routes as our earth is beginning to experience a magnetic dipole flip because of the molten iron and nickel core of the earth is producing false North and South poles. Eventually, North will be South and South will be North. The volcanoes continue to awaken around the world, spewing fire and pillars of smoke. These include Mt. Semeru, Indonesia, Mt. Grimsvotn in Iceland, and Mt. Etna in Sicily. Other volcanoes, such as Mt. St. Helens and more recently Mt. Rainier, both in Washington state, are waking up.

[5] On October 23rd, 2004, Japan was hit by a killer quake with a magnitude of 6.8, causing widespread damage and displacing more than 100,000 people from their homes.

[6] Strong aftershocks occurred almost daily, and on November 5th, 2004, another quake of 5.0 rocked the region once more.

[7] Other strong quakes included : Manila, Philippines, on October 9th, 2004, magnitude 6.4 ; Romania and Bulgaria, on October 28th, 2004, magnitude 6.0 ; Taiwan, on October 15th, 2004, magnitude 7.0 ; Jakarta, Indonesia, on November 14th, 2004, magnitude 6.0 ; Cali, Colombia, on November 15th, 2004, magnitude 6.7.

[08] Volcanic activity continues to increase, including the Manam volcano in New Guinea, the Goma volcano in the Congo, and numerous others around the world. Mt. St. Helens in Washington State continues to rumble, and it has formed a pulsating dome as large as an aircraft carrier.

[09] Mt. St. Helens is now Washington's worst source of pollution, as it is spewing out up to 250 tons of sulphur dioxide per day.

[10] There are continual rumblings miles below the San Andreas Fault in California.

[11] Other recent earthquakes by date and magnitude are as follows: Mt Rainier, Washington, Nov. 9th, 3.2 ; Costa Rica, Nov. 20th, 6.2 ; Guadeloupe, Nov. 21st, 6.3 ; Milan, Italy, Nov. 25th, 5.2 ; Jakarta, Indonesia, Nov. 28th, 6.4 ; Northern Japan, Dec. 6th, 6.9 ; Portugal, Dec. 13th, 5.4 ; and the Caribbean near Jamaica, Dec. 15th, 6.8.

[12] In addition to volcanoes, earthquakes, crumbling polar icecaps and freak weather, there are also massive swarms of locusts in many places around the world that are so numerous that they darken the sky. At the end of November, 2004, these giant locusts plagued the Israeli State, Mexico, the Spanish Canary islands, and the land of Egypt. The pictures of this plague in the land of Egypt showed swarms of giant locusts so thick that you could barely see the pyramids in the background.

[13] In December 16th, 2004 a picture was published of strange lenticular clouds over the Mount Erebus volcano in Antarctica. This is near the Ross Ice Shelf that is breaking up and clogging the sea with icebergs. One piece that broke off from Antarctica is as large as the State of Rhode Island. Peculiar things are happening at both poles of our earth.

[14] On December 19th, 2004, a massive explosion occurred over Jakarta, Indonesia, as a ball of fire streaked across the sky.

[15] This was one week before the great earthquake, and Indonesian scientists said there was no seismic activity at the time of the exploding fireball. The next day, December 20th, 2004, there was a rash of UFO sightings over Indonesia, Red China, and Australia. Countless thousands in the Eastern Hemisphere witnessed some amazing signs in the heavens. Over 70 official reports were filed as multitudes saw flashing fireballs and a "strange shining object" speeding through the sky. Authorities were also baffled by multi-coloured lights, which hovered in the sky.

[16] On December 21st, 2004, Dr. John Anderson, famous physicist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratories, issued a statement that "something funny is going on with gravity." The professor had first noticed the problem ten years earlier but cautiously waited until now. Using some of our space probes and precise calculations, all indicators reveal that gravity is loosing its pull. Dr. Anderson admitted that he just doesn't understand it. 

[Comment: This is an awesome thought! Gravity, the very force that holds the universe in place and balances our solar system and maintains the equilibrium of our earth, is rapidly weakening.]

[17] A story and an astrological chart that was presented by Thailand's government and their astrologer, Phinyo Phongchareon. This resident astrologer at the University in Bangkok predicted a year of trouble and turmoil for Thailand politically.

[Comment : This was two days before the great earthquake and resulting tsunami hit that idolatrous land so infamous for witchcraft and prostitution.]

[18] On December 24th, 2004, a powerful earthquake occurred 6.25 miles under the sea near Tasmania, just south of Australia. This quake which received very little publicity measured 8.1, and was one of the strongest ever recorded but it did no real damage.

[Comment : Little did people realize at the time that 48 hours later death and devastation would engulf that region of the world. The warning signs were many but were ignored.]

[19] At the end of November, 2004, and during the first part of December, volcanoes were swelling and shaking in New Guinea and Hawaii. Volcanologists reported unprecedented number of earthquakes under Hawaii's Mauna Loa Volcano.

[20] Hawaii was also hit with a most unusual snowstorm. During this same time period, an earthquake killed 30 people in Indonesia, and powerful quakes also hit northern Japan and southern Italy.

[21] The very next week the earthquakes continued in Algeria, Japan, and Trinidad. Powerful earth movements were felt in Alaska; north-western California; the German- French border area; Athens, Greece, north-western Turkey, and Sumatra and java islands in Indonesia.

[22] In mid December, a week before the great earthquake, the Soputan Volcano erupted in Indonesia. At the same time, the Nyiragongo Volcano came to life in the Congo in Africa. Meanwhile, Japan's northern island of Hokkaido was rocked by another strong quake. Powerful earth movements were also felt in southern Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Morocco, Portugal, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, El Salvador, central Chile, and southern parts of California.

[Comment : Clearly this world was beginning to convulse prior to a major catastrophy.]

[ Comment : On December 26th, 2004, a catastrophic event occurred that has forever changed our world. At exactly 00:58: 53 UTC [Co-ordinated universal time] a magnitude 9 earthquake struck off the west coast of northern Sumatra, which sent devastation to 11 nations. These two numbers, 9 and 11, brought another kind of 

9-11. A tsunami, which is a tidal wave induced by an earthquake, sent a wall of water more than 30 feet high moving at the speed of over 500 miles per hour against the shores of 11 nations. There are many stories of judgement and mercy resulting from the tsunami. In India's Andhra Pradesh State, 32 people were involved in a moon-worship ceremony when the massive wave picked them up, carried them out to sea, drowned them, and tossed them back on shore dead at their exact place of worship. Another news report told of parents who were missing their 6-month-old baby, so they prayed to the Almighty Creator of Heaven ; and while they were praying, a mattress floated directly to them with their baby lying on it unharmed!]

[23] It is interesting to note that all of the animals, both small and great, in all eleven of the affected nations had fled the area.

[Comment: The only dead animals of any kind that were found were those that were confined. In other earthquakes such as the great San Francisco quake, people wondered why all of the animals had fled several days in advance of the event. Many people reported that it was quiet, and there was an eerie feeling as there were no birds, squirrels, or any other wild animals. Dogs, cats, and other pets that were confined were frantically trying to escape and making continual noise. Scientists have stated that animals must have evolved some kind of sixth sense, but the truth is that the animals have not lost something that humans, to a great extent, have lost.]

[24] There have been aftershocks, flooding, and the constant threat that disease could kill another 100,000 people.

[25] The massive quake was estimated to have the force of 500 atomic bombs and literally rattled the earth's orbit.

[26] The large tectonic plate that moved is so big that it would reach from New York City to St Louis, Missouri.

[27] The force was so great hat it caused the earth to wobble at its poles, and according to U.S. Geological Survey expert Ken Hudnut, the map of the world has changed.

[28] Satellite images show that islands have moved out of their places, coastlines have changed, and some islands have completely disappeared. We have also learned that the large portion of earth that moved was pulled inward toward the centre of its rotation, which has caused the speed of the rotation of the earth to increase. Thus, time is going faster as measured by the earth's rotational velocity

[Comment:  Never has there been a time such as this! Never since the days of Noah, have so many people been killed by water. Never have there been so many strange manifestations and fearful sights.]

[29] On December 4th, 2004, a fireball over New England flashed and exploded. On the 6th, fireballs produced rumbling sounds and explosions over Australia. On the 12th, a ball of fire fell from the sky over Washington, D.C. On the 13th, a massive fireball was seen over Red China, turning night into day. On the 16th, a massive fireball fell into the Salt Lake in Utah. On the 19th, there were many sightings of fireballs over Indonesia. On the 21st, a previously unknown asteroid, now named 2004 YD5 flew past the earth under our satellites.

[30] In 2005 the strange events continue. On January 5th, 2005, unexplained bright flashes of light streaked across the night skies of Wisconsin, and this was witnessed by hundreds of people. On January 7th, hundreds of residents of Juneau, Alaska, saw a fiery ball crossing through their sky. On January 12th, a huge fiery ball over India raced to earth and crashed.

[31] It is now 3 weeks since the massive quake in the Indian Ocean, and there have been 30 aftershocks as our earth continues to wobble on its axis.

[32] The Australian National University has also reported that their instruments indicate that the earth is giving off massive reverberations and is literally ringing like a bell.

[33] It is one strange thing after the other. In the Antarctic, grass is beginning to grow.

[34] In New Zealand, icebergs are moving into territorial waters.

[35] For the first time in the history of the world, snow has fallen over the United Arab Emirates.

[36] In November 2004, it was reported that a tidal wave could wipe out the entire eastern seaboard of the United States. This is because there is a volcano in the Canary Islands, and when it quakes and erupts scientists calculate that it will send a wall of water 90 feet high and move at a speed of 500 miles per hour and smash into the U.S. coastal cities. Scientists are already warning that it is only a matter of time until the western flank of the Cumbre Vieja Volcano collapses and brings forth this unthinkable event. 

[Comment: After what has happened in the Indian Ocean, dare man say it, "It can't happen."]

[37] Since the recent great earthquake on Decemjber26th, 2004, the earth has never been the same. Entire islands have moved out of their places including the island of Sumatra, which is 1,060 miles long and 250 miles wide.

[38] This fact explains why an U>s> submarine slammed into rocky ground recently. The U.S.S. San Francisco hit rocks causing one death and over 60 injuries.

[Comment: While the U.S. navy is looking for someone to take the blame, they need to remember that the great earthquake has forever changed the Pacific Ocean, and the rocks and land that the submarine hit were not there before and were not factored in the co-ordinates.]

[39] The great quake did not only affect the Pacific but most of the world. The quake was felt 1,300 feet beneath Florida and raised the underground water table of Florida 4 inches.  

[40] The earthquakes in divers or various places continue at an amazing rate of intensity and frequency. On January 10th, 2005, Northern Iran was hit with a magnitude 5.8 quake.

[41] Other recent quakes of this new year 205 include: Northern Japan, January 18th, magnitude 6.3 ; New Zealand, January 20th, magnitude 5.5 ; Eastern Turkey, January 25th, magnitude 5.5 and numerous others.

[42] On January 28th, 2005, India's Andaman Islands were shaken by 28 aftershocks in 24 hours.

[43] On February 6th, the Philippines shook under a 7.1 magnitude quake.

[Comment: There has never been such instability of the earth's crust.]

[44] In the first week of February 2005, there were exactly 66 earthquakes with a magnitude of 4 and above. Many of them were magnitudes 5, 6, and 7.

[45] The quakes continued in the second week of February 2005, with a strong quake near Vanuatu on February 8th, with a magnitude of 6.7. On that same day, there were two quakes that jolted Tunisia.

[46] On December 30th, 2004, a noted Russian scientist warned the world that another giant earthquake and tsunami is imminent in the regions near the equator in both the eastern and Western hemispheres. Dr. Evgeny Dolginov warned that cracks in the earth's core will soon bring seismic cataclysms.

[47] Scientists are now saying that global temperatures will rise as much as 11 degrees Celsius producing disastrous results.

[48] Another alarming report was recently issued by noted scientists stating that our sun is dimming. According to Dr. Gerry Stanhill, an English scientist working in Israel, sunlight is diminishing continually, and since 1950 we have lost a staggering 22 percent.

[49] There are many signs in the heavens, and NASA scientists have recently published reports of more and more black holes in space that are literally ripping stars apart and pulling portions of them into their dense cores. Scientists have stated that the black holes are deforming space and time surrounding them.

[50] In addition to the black holes ripping stars apart, stars are also zooming out and away from our Milky Way galaxy. According to Dr. warren Brown, an astronomer at the Harvard- Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics, this has never happened before. Scientists have now given these wandering stars a name. They are called "outcast stars."

Comment: Interesting in the book of Jude in verse 13 we read, "Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever."

With volcanoes continuing to erupt, polar ice caps melting, and freak weather throughout the world, shouldn't people begin to take notice?

Is the Almighty Heavenly Father using these very signs to warn us?

Surely " the times of restoration"  prophesied in Acts 3 : 19, should be embraced by all sincere believers as the return of the Messiah is promised in the following verse 20.

Will the truth or man's traditions and received teachings be chosen?

Do the Scriptures contain a prophetic warning?

Jeremiah 16: 19.

"O YHWH, my Strength and my Fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the gentiles shall come unto Thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit."

Jeremiah 16: 21.

"Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know Mine hand and My Might ; and they shall know that My Name is YHWH."

When the Almighty repeats something twice in one sentence this should encourage us to take note of what He is saying to us.

Amein

P.S. For those who do not yet know, YHWH does not mean or spell, [ l-o-r-d ].
