The Great Initiation
Isn't it interesting that for the past few years, Americans in particular are being primed for disaster? For instance, the new Discover/Weather.com series It Could Happen Tomorrow: a show about biblically proportioned disasters striking modern cities. I watch the weather channel quite a lot - it's not 'as' depressing as the syndicated news channels. In a half-hour period, i'll hear 'It Could Happen Tomorrow' two or three times. Satan is numbing us to the coming judgements that ARE coming - maybe even tomorrow. But when they happen, people are going to think of the Discover channel and the warnings they've heard out of the newspapers, trumpeting the dangers of big industry and global warming. NO WONDER, when the seals are being opened and meteors are crashing into the seas the Revelation says people will curse God and not repent. NO WONDER, because they arent even associating natural disaster with the consequence of sin. They will never realize, God warned them this would happen long before the Discover channel. Mix this, too, with a downplaying of all of it. It 'wont be that bad'. We all 'underestimate the will and ability of man to survive'. Here is a headline that has been running on FoxNews (the most conservative of News services) for a while now: Twenty Years After Chernobyl. This article unveils the Chernobyl incident as a greatly overdramatized event - one in which the world went way over the deep end. After all, "As of mid-2005, fewer than 50 deaths were attributed to radiation from the accident". But for some unexplicable reason "Ukraine's government appears to be on board with the casualty inflation game". Could it be that the little report is such a hoax that nobody with a hint of sanity or a smidge of insight about the severity of the disaster would ever believe such stupid science? Apocalyptic times are on the way. Americans are currently in school learning to downplay events, or at the very least blame them on the president.

Excerpts from a CNN article regarding the 2005 hurricane season:
[begin]
A brutal and record-setting hurricane season that repeatedly pounded the United States, devastated the lives of tens of thousands and spawned the historic Katrina ended November 30, at least on paper.
The hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to the end of November.
However, a day before the scheduled end of the season, Tropical Storm Epsilon formed over the central Atlantic Ocean and strengthened to a hurricane in December.
Epsilon -- the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet used by forecasters since they ran out of their standard list of names -- did not threaten land during its course.
Tropica Storm Zeta formed on December 30 in the Atlantic Ocean, about a 1,000 miles south of the Azores island, according to a National Hurricane Center advisory.
Including Epsilon and Zeta, there were 27 named storms this year, surpassing the record of 21 set in 1933. Thirteen of the storms were hurricanes, edging by one the previous record set in 1969. Seven of the hurricanes were considered major.
The normal seasonal average is 10 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Three of the hurricanes in the 2005 season reached Category 5 status, meaning they had wind speeds greater than 155 mph at some point during the arc of the storm.
"We've had two Category 5 storms in several seasons, but we've never had three," said Steve Kiser, a tropical cyclone program manger at the National Weather Service.
"We also set some records for the lowest pressure levels, which is an indication of a storm's intensity. So, certainly this year, we had some very intense, very strong storms."

Excerpts from a Space and Earth Science article:
[begin]
Although there were fewer deaths worldwide in 2005 due to earthquakes, more than 89,353 casualties were reported, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and confirmed by the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Nearly all of the fatalities for the year, more than 87,000, occurred when a magnitude 7.6 hit Pakistan on Oct. 8.
In 2004, the third deadliest earthquake year on record, over 283,000 perished in the Dec. 26 magnitude 9.0 Sumatra quake and related tsunami. This event was likely the trigger for a magnitude 8.7 quake, which struck the adjacent zone of Sumatra on March 28, 2005. This earthquake left 1313 people dead and was the largest temblor for 2005.

Further, an expert speaking on The Weather Channel last night spoke of 2006 already being the worst year for tornados which have totaled 316, up 44% above average. 2005 had three (3) F3 or greater tornados while 2006 has thus far produced twenty-two (22).
Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Luk 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Luke 21:
25"There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.
