Revelation: Earth Prepares for the Big Quake…Featuring Bill Kitsch

Posted in Earthquakes/Volcanoes, Prophecy, Revelation with tags , , , , , , , , , on May 22, 2017 by paulthepoke

We are on the cusp of global tectonic shift (the continents move). The ‘cracks’ all over the earth are the lifting and jostling of the tectonic plates. Ice melt equals removal of vast weight. Removal of weight causes ‘continental rise’ and alters Earth’s isostasy.

Dawes Glacier calving
i·sos·ta·sy  /īˈsästəsē/ noun:
The equilibrium that exists between parts of the earth’s crust, which behaves as if it consists of blocks floating on the underlying mantle, rising if material (such as an ice cap) is removed and sinking if material is deposited.

Isostasy affects the imposition of centrifugal forces on the continental mass. Therefore at the pole of Antarctica, both a continent and a tectonic plate, the centrifugal force increase is exponential!

As Antarctica takes off moving sideways and rotating simultaneously, a chain reaction shift of the plates occurs to restore balance – stasis; isostasy. Furthermore, we are seeing the magnetic pole has moved a few degrees. This is the manifestation of Earth’s magnetism holding back the plates from moving on the plastic substrate. Of course the field is distorted or pulled!

continental driftWhen centrifugal forces and other forces of the movement of the plates overcome the ability of the magnetic field to hold the plates back, we have ‘polar flip’. And magnetic forces move rapidly. Then the field gets dragged right over just like a Slinky when it jumps a step. The magnetic reversals are seen in the geological record.

The laws of displacement dictate that the predicted ‘sea level rise’, even if all the ice melted, is minimal at best. Therefore we need not worry about sea level rise as such. It’s a fairy tale.

mastodonThe mastodon are in the ice in Siberia with tropical plants in their digestive tracts because that continent (tectonic plate) moved north over 2000 miles in days. I calculate about 15 to 25 mph which means it would move 2000 miles in a couple of days to a week. The animals froze foraging for the last of the surviving plants native to the prior latitudes, where the continent was just days earlier. There is no scientific reason or mechanism that would cause ‘cold’ to come down from the north fast enough to cause this ‘flash freezing’ and remain for the entire period of glaciation.

We know moving glaciers pushing south would pulverize everything in their path. Glaciers moving down rapidly as a theory is ludicrous.

The Earth is in preparation (tectonically) for ‘the great earthquake’.

Revelation 16:17-21 (the seventh bowl): Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, “It is done.” And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And huge hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, came down from heaven upon men; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague was extremely severe.
But humans survived the onslaught…

Science and the Bible must and will line up in our understanding, regardless of our notions.

Trend Update: Tabqa/Euphrates Dam Near Collapse??? March 2017

Posted in Burden of Damascus, Euphrates River, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , on March 27, 2017 by paulthepoke

The Tabqa Dam is also known as the Euphrates Dam. It is an earthen dam 25 miles west of Raqqa, Syria. Raqqa is the proclaimed capital of ISIS. Lake Assad was created when the Euphrates Dam was constructed. The dam provides electricity and water resources to the region. -Wikipedia

March 26, 2017: There are conflicting reports about the status of the Tabqa or Euphrates Dam. ISIS is stating the dam is on the verge of collapse. Water is reportedly rising in Lake Assad due to dam malfunction. ISIS is stating the United States is bombing near the dam. Bombing raids have weakened the Euphrates Dam per ISIS. The United States is denying the claim. News sources have been unable to validate the ISIS claims.

People in Tabqa and Raqqa, Syria are heeding the warning. Thousands of people are fleeing the cities down river of the Tabqa Dam.

At this time, it is not clear who is in control of the Euphrates Dam.

This is clear. The Tabqa Military Base and Airport are under the control of Kurdish forces. This has occurred within the last day (March 26, 2017). The Tabqa Military Base is located 3-5 miles south of the Euphrates Dam. The Kurdish forces have been supported by the United States. The United States has provided air support and special forces.

Revelation 16:12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east.

Scripture tells us towards the end of the great tribulation the Euphrates River will go dry. This is the last series of bowl judgments. It does not specifically say where on the Euphrates. It would stand to reason it would be south of this location.

Presumably the kings of the east would be China but that is speculation based on Revelation 9:16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.

Currently, there is only one country on earth that fits this army size…China.

The context of Revelation 9 and Revelation 16 have these two items in common, the Euphrates River and a massive army.

As for now, we are not in the tribulation. But the Euphrates River is in the world’s news and trending…

Trend Update: Blood Red Samala River, Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, October 2016

Posted in Blood Red Water/Aquatic Death, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , on October 16, 2016 by paulthepoke

October 14, 2016: The Samala River in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala has turned blood red. The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources is on the scene and investigating.

An unknown black substance that has dumped into the river may be the cause. This substance is near an electrical power plant on the Samala River. The National Electrification Institute indicated the pollution is not related to any process of power generation.

Fish in the river are dying. Approximately 400,000 people live along the Samala River.

http://strangesounds.org/2016/10/river-turns-blood-red-in-guatemala-video-pictures-samala-alarm.html

For those keeping track…This is at least the sixth event of a significant body of water turning blood red in 2016.

Revelation 16:4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood.

The context of the verse above is towards the end of the Tribulation. We have not started. But we are trending…

 

Trend Update: Blood Red Rivers/Streets, Dhaka, Bangladesh, September 2016

Posted in Blood Red Water/Aquatic Death, Prophecy, Trend Update, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , on September 14, 2016 by paulthepoke

Dhaka, Bangladesh: This is real blood. This is not an algae bloom, a fertilizer spill, bacteria gone wild, or an environmental mess. This is the Muslim Holiday Eid.

Eid al-Adha is also known as the Feast of Sacrifice. This is a memorial of the Prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael to Allah. As contrasted to the Bible in Genesis 22 where Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac to Yahweh (God).

During Eid thousands of sheep, goats, and cows are sacrificed. This event marks the end of what is called Dhu al-Hiijah. The sacrificed meat is given to the poor.

It was reported that two bulls escaped sacrifice and managed to cause chaos.

Tuesday, September 13, 2016: Heavy rain pounded Dhaka, Bangledesh. The city does not have the best of drainage. The result was rivers of bloody streets.

In a follow up to the blood red river in the Arctic of Russia, Norilsk Nickel has admitted to an accidental spill at one of its plants. They are now taking responsibility for the Daldykan River turning red.

Initially the world’s largest nickel company denied they were the cause.

September 5, 2016: Heavy rains at a “filtration dam” at the Nadezhda plant caused an overflow and spill into the Daldykan River.

Everybody relax…there is no danger to people or wildlife.

Revelation 16:4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood.

The verse mentioned in Revelation 16 is towards the last third of the Tribulation. The scope and scale are global. These are the streets of Dhaka. This is not the Tribulation. The antichrist does not have a Temple to defile yet.

For all the critics out there who want a real blood red river…

Trend Update: Blood Red Daldykan River, Norilsk, Russia, September 2016

Posted in Blood Red Water/Aquatic Death, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , on September 7, 2016 by paulthepoke

Revelation 16:4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood.

The idea of blood red bodies of water takes place in the book of Revelation on a massive global scale. Initially in Revelation 8, a third of the sea is affected. Chapter 8 is in the middle third of events in the Tribulation. Eventually in Revelation 16, all the bodies of water are affected. Chapter 16 is in the last third of events in the seven year period.

As of September 7, 2016, we are not in the Tribulation. If we are, please name the antichrist.

Dateline Norilsk, Russia: The Daldykan River has turned a beautiful shade of red.

The river runs close to the Nadezhda Metallurgical Factory. The factory is run by Norilsk Nickel. This is the world’s largest producer of nickel and palladium. It is suspected iron ore in the ground has altered the river’s color. Industrial waste is a possible culprit.

Norilsk Nickel has denied any industrial spills or activity related to the changing of the color of the river.

Russia’s natural resources and environment ministry is investigating complaints of an unknown chemical pollution, possibly caused by a “break in a Norilsk Nickel slurry pipe”…allegedly…

Norilsk, Russia has made Time Magazines most polluted places in the world. The following is from Time.

Norilsk was founded in 1935 as a Siberian slave labor camp, and life there has pretty much gone downhill since. Home to the world’s largest heavy metal smelting complex, more than 4 million tons of cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, arsenic, selenium and zinc are released into the air every year. Air samples exceed the maximum allowance for both copper and nickel, and mortality from respiratory diseases is much higher than in Russia as a whole. “Within 30 miles (48 km) of the nickel smelter there’s not a single living tree,” says Fuller. “It’s just a wasteland.” –Bryan Walsh, Time Magazine.

This is one of the nastiest places on the planet. But, the water is still red. That does not explain it away.

 

 

Trend Update: Blood Red Souris River, North Dakota, August 2016

Posted in Blood Red Water/Aquatic Death, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , on August 6, 2016 by paulthepoke

Revelation 16:4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood.

The Souris River in North Dakota has turned blood red. This event does not indicate we are in the Tribulation. The context of this verse is in the latter third of the Tribulation. This is one river not all rivers. We are not in the Tribulation. It has not started.

The trend continues…

Trend Update: Blood Red Lake Urmia, Iran, July 2016

Posted in Blood Red Water/Aquatic Death, Persia/Elam/Iran, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , on July 27, 2016 by paulthepoke

Revelation 16:4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood.

The idea of blood red bodies of water takes place in the book of Revelation on a massive global scale. Initially in Revelation 8, a third of the sea is affected. Chapter 8 is in the middle third of events in the Tribulation. Eventually in Revelation 16, all the bodies of water are affected. Chapter 16 is in the last third of events in the seven year period.

As of July 2016, we are not in the Tribulation. There is no 10 nation federation. There is no third Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Israel does not have a peace deal with its neighbors. And there is no antichrist.

Lake Urmia has recently turned blood red. This is one lake in northwest Iran. It happens to be the largest lake in the Middle East.

The following is provided by:

http://www.citylab.com/weather/2016/07/the-middle-easts-biggest-lake-turns-blood-red/491465/

Lake Urmia’s red hue is attributed to a type of Halobacteriaceae, which are specialized bacteria that thrive in extremely salty conditions. Called halophiles (“salt-loving”), they produce pink-red pigments (bacterioruberins), and when found in abundance, the pigments from these bacteria can turn super-salty water pink or red. The presence of the red-pigmented halophiles, seen from space, marks an environment that has become extraordinarily saline.

Luke 21:28 Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. – Jesus

Millennial Kingdom:Geological/Geographical Implications;Greatest Earthquake Ever

Posted in Earthquakes/Volcanoes, Millennial Kingdom, Prophecy with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on June 12, 2016 by paulthepoke

Revelation 16:17-20 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found.

The context of this verse is before the Second Coming of Christ. It occurs near the end of the seven year Tribulation. The Millennial Kingdom is about to commence. The seventh bowl concludes the judgments upon the earth and humanity.

…and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. The last earthquake mentioned in the Bible will be the largest and strongest in the history of humanity. This earthquake will also be the most destructive. The Greek expression of the quake is restated three times. The earthquake is greatness and magnitude upon greatness and magnitude upon greatness and magnitude. The scale and power are larger than the Discovery Channel can imagine. It is the Mega Quake!

The great city was split into three parts. The great city is mystery Babylon. Some think the city is a reborn Babylon in modern day Iraq. Others think it is Rome. Some believe it is Istanbul, Turkey. Mecca, Saudi Arabia is a city on seven hills. Pick your seven hilled city. Conjecture in regards to city is pointless.

…and the cities of the nations fell… All the cities (plural) of the nations (plural) are doomed. The Greek word for “fell” is πιπτο (pipto). Per Strong’s Concordance, it means: to descend from a higher place to a lower; to be thrust down; come to an end, disappear, cease; to lose authority, no longer have force.  Metaphorically: to fall under judgment, came under condemnation. “It is done!”

And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. The idea of no more mountains and changed geography is noted in multiple places in the Bible. Revelation is not the only source of this concept.

Psalm 97:5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

Psalm 46:6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts.

Isaiah 24:1 Behold, the LORD lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants.

Isaiah 24:19 The earth is utterly broken, the earth is split apart, the earth is violently shaken.

Micah 1:4 And the mountains will melt under him, and the valleys will split open, like wax before the fire, like waters poured down a steep place.

The level of destruction is unimaginable. We cannot comprehend. It says what it says.

Trend Update: Dead Sea Life, Great Barrier Reef, Australia, June 2016

Posted in Blood Red Water/Aquatic Death, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , on June 6, 2016 by paulthepoke

Revelation 16:3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea died.

The Bible states there will be a trend toward complete sea life death as stated in the book of Revelation. In chapter 8, 1/3 of the sea life dies and there is a progression toward Revelation 16 and complete sea life death.

Let me be clear. We are not in the tribulation.

The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is another example of a global trend of dying sea and fresh water creatures. The extent of death is on a massive scale. The smell of death is overwhelming per people on the scene. The majority of the damage is noted in the northern 1/3 of the reef. 22% of the coral has died. 93% of all reefs have experienced some level of bleaching.

The bleaching of the coral has been caused by increased water temperatures. Other factors include El Nino and changing global weather patterns, fertilizer, herbicides, and pollution.

The Great Barrier Reef is approximately 1,600 miles or 2,300 kilometers in length. It takes up an area approximately the size of Germany.

Half a billion people around the globe rely on the reef as a source of food. There are lost jobs as a result of the dying sea life. The reef brings in $6 billion a year in tourism. 70,000 jobs are filled with tourism demand. Jobs and revenue continue to decrease as a result.

Earlier in the year, the 2,500 mile coast of Chile experienced a similar event. This is not Uncle Joe’s farm pond and 15-20 dead catfish.

Trend Update: Quakes in Various Places, May 2016

Posted in Earthquakes/Volcanoes, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , on May 17, 2016 by paulthepoke

Luke 21:11 …and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.    –Jesus

There are parallel passages regarding earthquakes by Jesus in Matthew 24:7 and Mark 13:8. The context is the Olivet Discourse. Jesus is answering questions from the disciples regarding the signs of His coming and the End of the Age (Matthew 24:3).

There are at least 7 references to earthquakes in the book of Revelation alone. The beast of all historical earthquakes is to take place in Revelation 16:18 And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty.

The end result of this earthquake is Revelation 16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. These passages are suggestive of significant, changed geography of planet Earth. No more islands, no more mountains! What we are seeing now is a starter kit.

Earthquake activity has recently picked up in the Holy Land. Starting May 15, 2016, quakes have been noted on the fault line running through the Red Sea north towards Israel. Earthquakes were noted in Egypt (5.1) and southern Israel (4.8).

Seismic and volcanic activity is picking up around the globe. New activity/unrest was observed at 4 volcanoes between May 4 and 10, 2016. Continued activity was reported for 19 volcanoes. On May 16, 2016, five volcanoes erupted on the same day.

The US Federal Government has a preparedness exercise scheduled for June 7-10, 2016 called Cascadia Rising. The focus is the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Here is the opening paragraph from FEMA.

A 9.0 magnitude earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) and the resulting tsunami is the most complex disaster scenario that emergency management and public safety officials in the Pacific Northwest could face. Cascadia Rising is an exercise to address that disaster.

By the way, Oklahoma continues to be the most earthquake prone in the United States…
