Let us not be afraid; yet let us regard what is coming as the Day of Judgment upon Babylon the Great?
The coming possibility of a pole shift is; of course a scenario has given a few nations sufficiant pause about what might occur in two years hence; but it is officially being ignored to avert a mass "panic" among the masses; they will simply be expected to die as unfortunate victims: the elite are making other plans; of course.
Here is a news clip from AP:
(AP) It sounds like something from a science fiction film, a doomsday vault, dug into a frozen mountainside deep in an Arctic island's permafrost that will serve as a Noah's Ark for world seeds in case of a global catastrophe.
But Norway's ambitious project is on its way to becoming reality with start of construction Monday of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, designed to house as many as 3 million of the world's crop seeds.
Prime ministers of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland attended a cornerstone ceremony Monday near the town of Longyearbyen, in Norway's remote Svalbard Islands, roughly 620 miles from the North Pole.
"This seed bank is of global importance. It will be the only one of its kind," Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said. "It is our final safety net."
Norway's Agriculture Minister Terje Riis-Johansen has called the vault a "Noah's Ark on Svalbard" for its aim to offer the world a chance to restart growth of food crops that may have been wiped out by plant epidemics, nuclear war, natural disasters or climate change.
The foil-packaged seeds will be stored at such temperatures that they could last thousands of years, according to the independent Global Crop Diversity Trust. The trust, founded in 2004, has also worked on the project and will help run the vault, which is planned to open and start accepting seeds from around the world in September 2007.
At the ceremony, Nordic prime ministers poured seeds into a hollowed-out cornerstone which they then placed on the site. Stoltenberg quoted an old Norwegian expression: "From small seeds, big trees grow."
Oil-rich Norway first proposed the idea a year ago, drawing wide international interest. The Svalbard Archipelago, 300 miles north of the mainland, was selected because it is remote and far from many threats, as well as for its cold climate and permafrost.
The Nordic nation is footing the bill of up to about $4.8 million for infrastructure costs.
Cary Fowler, executive secretary of the Global Crop Diversity Trust who led a feasibility study on the project, said that crop diversity is also threatened by "accidents, mismanagement and shortsighted budget cuts."
Already, some 1,400 seed banks around the world, most of them national, hold samples of a country's crops.
But these banks "can be affected by shutdowns, natural disasters, war or simply a lack of money," Riis-Johansen, the agriculture minister, said.
Having duplicate seeds in the Svalbard vault is meant to offer a fail-safe system for the planet.
Svalbard's remote location and permafrost will help protect the seeds and safeguard their genetic makeup, experts say. The vault will have thick concrete walls, and even if all cooling systems fail, the temperature in the frozen mountain will never rise above freezing due to permafrost.
While the facility will be fenced in and guarded, Svalbard's free-roaming polar bears, known for their ferocity, could also act as natural guardians, according to the Trust.
The idea of a global seed bank has been around since the early 1980s but unresolved issues, such as ownership rights to genetic material, stalled it until the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization adopted the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture in 2001.
While Norway will own the vault itself, countries sending seeds will own the material they deposit, much as with a bank safe deposit box. The Global Crop Diversity Trust will help developing countries pay the cost of preparing and sending seeds.
Some sharp observers are now looking at the totally blank reaction of the national governments of the West to the rather terrifying Hollywood visions of imminent catastophe to being a rather startling state ofdenial to the evidence gathered and thenow increasinglyshrill and terrified declarations by various scientists about what a few inconvenient "sunspots" or even another of our planets 171 documented"pole shifts" might actually do to the earth's crust as it slides around like a crust on a boiled egg; not to mention life without the electrical power grids our cities and modern man depend upon.
The prospects are beyond horrific: they are truly Apocalyptic.
The rich and powerful seem to be quietly converting underground missle silo's into buried condominium's; it's almost as if they knew something we didn't! But fear and those running for the hills seem to forget what was written about in the ending of Time: the arrival of Eternity.
But few believe that Eternity actually exists; although time itself is but the shadow of Eternity; just as Death is the Shadow of God.
The current "head in the sand" solution for most people is to ignore what is too large and terrible a problem to even comprehend; thus the answer to the various scenarios facing mankind is to go back to trying to pay their rent with no money or job or prosepcts of getting one; something which is an immediate problem like that of starvation when the world food prices went about about 30% when all the markets crashed in the Third World; most of whose nations are in the Poor Hemisphere of the Earth: the Southern Hemisphere, as opposed to the Rich and powerful Northern Hemisphere; the Ideveloped and Industrialized nations as opposed to the Agaric and underdeveloped ones; although Western development means more than being able to buy a coke in Durbin or Singapore; it means having to deal with a Market Society which values profit far more than human life; something which might be seen to anger the Almighty: if any nation acted as if He exists; which none do.
In trying to imagine the "end" of our present civilization most people shake their heads and simply shrug their shoulders as a way to forget thinking about the idea of a global catastrpohe whose "Day of Judgment" scenario is simply too terrifying to even rationally contemplate without being paralyzed with fear; and really; what can anyone really do about it if the End is really coming?
Seemingly nothing.
Indeed, if Western Civilization and the rest of the world are to face a catacylsmic event like those written of in the Bible or the Holy Qur'an then people might well ask themselves if any body has an answer as to what might God be up to: for it would seem if we are to all face a Day of Judgment for Mankind from theWest to theEast; and from the Northto the South then shouldn't there be some kind of a Sign or a Warning from on High?
The question is not specious; for it asks that of the same God that prepared Noah for the Flood does exist then is there any clue as why we have not heard a peep from Him if we are all facing what looks like near extinction for the human race?
The Warning of Jonah; a preview?
The scenario might best be seen as when God sent Jonah to Ninevah; telling them that if they did not repent than in 40 days Ninevah would be destroyed. Of course we know that Jonah first got on a ship going to Tarshish; presently known as the south of France; where not a few like Brad and Angelina are hanging out might point to being a place of refuge: but Jonah never got to France; he ended up in a whale for 3 days and 3 nights where God gave him some time to think things over: and Jonah decided that perhaps going to Ninevahwould be the way to go after all, so he went.
Upon arriving at Ninevah Jonah told them to repent or be destroyed; and the rulers took Jonah at his word: for the whole city repented in sackcloth and ashes: and Ninevah was saved.
That Jonah hated Ninevah is obvious; because when they repented Jonah was not happy: he was furious; but that is perhaps another clue as to why we face globally the same fate; for how can we repent and be saved if there is no warning or Warner?
The answer lies in the phrase "The Last Day"; as seen in the word of Jesus and that of Muhammed; who both use the phrase in a number of places; but the problem is this: no one has any idea about when this "Last Day" is going to arrive so that our earth and it's inhabitants can prepare themselves and repent: and be saved so they can escape all these disasters and, in the words of the Lamb "stand before the Son of Man" at his coming doomsday scenarios of Christmas day 2012.
Of course some are preparing to die; like Rev. Moon and his son; seen here bowing to a statue of his father and mother;
- Hyung Jin Moon; his wife, and the Golden Statue (photo above)
Hyung Jin Moon is the heir apparent of the Unification Church since now his father has decided to die; Immortality has eluded him due to the ignoring of a persistent but rather unimportant individual with some disturbing news of what attainity "immortality" at the end actually portends.
