Strange Earth Signs, 2007
"There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Luke 21:25-26
In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim was moving over the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:1-2) How can anyone doubt we're being warned by the Almighty?????

Posted 7/7/08Mysterious lake foam baffles scientists
These kinds of changes in the Kinneret are not an encouraging sign," said a Kinneret expert about an unidentified weed that appeared in the lake. Signs of this worrisome phenomenon appeared about a week ago. It took the form of greenish patches with a foamy train. All those who saw this strange apparition were convinced it was some kind of sewage. What else would one think if one saw a greenish liquid with foam on it? The green patches were sighted on the Kinneret's western shores, from the Tiberias hot springs to the Sapir site.

Posted 5/3/07Countdown to Doomsday! (by David Mayer)
On January 19th, 2007, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported that the Transatlantic Group of Prominent Scientists moved the symbolic doomsday clock two minutes closer to midnight, or the end of the world. It is now set at five minutes before midnight. It is only the fourth time the doomsday clock has been moved forward since the end of the cold war. Even the ungodly scientists seem to know that the end is coming soon. They moved the clock forward for two reasons. Their own words were, “The world is nudging closer to nuclear apocalypse and environmental disaster.” It is strange that even though they make no reference to God, they can still clearly see the signs of the times.

Last month, the IPCC shifted that upper figure to 6.4C (44F).
