Awareness,

If you want to have a discussion based on mutual respect, I can do that. But, your mind is clearly made up, and all I can see in your post is mockery...so...have a nice day.

Just trying to point to the prediction. Which is, God is about to judge America soon.

And, by the way, something big always happens in relation to Israel when Shemitah happens with 4 blood moons on holy high days.

All I see so far is that it's well known that September 30th is a bad day for the stock market, historical records show.

And I have not been disrespectful toward you sis Nell.

However, you didn't expect me to just forget about it, did you?

I'm more obsessed with prophecy than prophecy nuts ... even tho keeping up with it for decades I've become very skeptical of it.

I'd like to see a new heaven and a new earth as much as anyone else. This world now really sucks.

But it looks like this one will go out with a $237 uptick, or 1.47% up for the day. And even if the year is a little down, the record of the stock market is that it consistently goes up unless you are only in it for quick profits.

I didn't say you were disrespectful toward me. No I didn't expect you to forget about "it". I can't even read the mockery, it's just so old and not helpful to a mutually respectful conversation.

I will point you to the events in China of the last few months, as well as the extraordinary events today involving Russia.

Perhaps you are on to something awareness.

All of a sudden we have the Russians attacking our allies in Syria; the day after the two presidents just met together for handshakes and Lattes. Surprise, surprise! Imagine that, Russia "the king from the north" now has its military in the Mideast, and we have been asked to kindly "leave." Now get out!

All of a sudden Joaquin is looking like it may be worse than Super Storm Sandy. That would make two "hundred year" events in three years. Since when do hurricanes turn west after going up the east coast?

Of course, we can't attribute "climate change" to God, now can we? Somebody please buy me a Tesla. Quick!

And for sure, all those "blood moons" on the Jewish feasts are just interesting night time viewing for astronomy students.

Well the Russians and Joaquin are just ordinary ... so far.

Climate change? That's just proof that God's anger is heating up.

The blood moons? Now that I think about it, is Cahn's, and Hagee's version of astrology. What's your zodiac sign?

But, hey! The Pope showed up right at the 4th super blood moon. And he made history, a few times.

He seems to think, based on his recent encyclical on climate change, that we just aren't hugging enough trees, and are mistreating our mother earth. He seems to be thinking in the long run. No near end of days for him.

Maybe he's not informed about Jonathan Cahn. Or maybe he is.

What the Russians just did to us is not ordinary.

Not sure what will happen to Joaquin. The highly successful European weather model shows it going out to sea.

Which group in Syria is really our ally? Seems that just before ISIS we were backing anyone standing up to the gov't there.

Not common, but not the first time either.

But Jewish feasts follow a lunar calendar. And eclipses occur along cycles as well. So somewhere along the way the two cycles overlapped in a manner that gave us these peculiar eclipses in sync with certain Jewish feasts.

If this was really how it was all intended to be, it was not very unknown. With today's science, it could have been predicted centuries in advance. So God set a couple of lunar clocks in motion and decided to just wait for them to overlap a couple of times, then he would start punishing whatever nation had claimed to be his modern Israel by making the continuing tide of worldwide calamities . . . well . . . . continue.

We've been in the track of hurricanes since before Columbus sailed. Getting involved in everyone else's conflicts has tended to get us into problems almost from the beginning. And blood moons have surely crossed the path of Jewish feasts in the past. Who was getting thrashed behind the barn then?

The USA used to ally with the Christians around the world, especially those being slaughtered.

At any rate, guys and gals, things are going on now, after the last tetrad of blood moons, and here now on Oct. 1. things are going just about the same as before the 4 blood moons.

So it was much ado over nothing.

But actually I think it's something we've developed long ago, to enhance the likelihood of our survival.

And it's called the : Hypersensitive agency detection device - HADD. Or, that, "humans tend to interpret ambiguous stimuli as having been produced by agents."

“When HADD perceives an object violating the intuitive assumptions for the movement of ordinary physical objects (such as moving on non-inertial paths, changing direction inexplicably, or launching itself from a standstill) and the object seems to be moving in a goal-directed manner, HADD detects agency” [5]. HADD could contribute to the formation of religious concepts by making people identify ambiguous objects as intentional agents (e.g., ghosts or spirits), or by causing objects correctly identified as such to be perceived as invested with agency (e.g., seeing a thunderstorm as manifestation of a deity’s will). In addition, HADD could serve to reinforce religious concepts. For example, people who experience salient but surprising, unexpected, or extraordinary events (e.g., surviving a shipwreck or a serious illness) often report the presence of non-natural agency in their accounts of those events. Furthermore, certain features of objects and living things are often reinterpreted in a teleological or functional sense – that is, purposefulness that cannot be attributed to natural agents may be attributed to non-natural agents; in this sense the features in question appear to be understood as ‘traces’ of non-natural agency.

Somewhat true. But there have been competing non-Christian factions in Syria for quite some time and it has been one or the other of those that had our interest for recent times. No waiting for the blood moons to go there. And with the recent civil war in Syria, it was neither side that was particularly positive. But it was popular to support the non-government side, so that is what we did. As if all the atrocities belonged to one side.

I would hope that the Christians in Syria are our allies. But they may not be. Same for many other nations. And when there is war and neither one is really supportive of the Christians, picking sides is not a Christian thing.

But the real question is why do we think that throwing our weight around throughout the world to support minority Christian groups, or rather doing less of it, is a reason that God would seek judgment on us? If this was really about God's justice, then maybe being as peaceful as possible to the extent that it is not about our own borders may be closer to a "Christian" position. Not saying go totally pacifist, but questioning the claim of being "Christian" in the position of taking part in wars around the world just because there are certain kinds of people involved there. Why not take up the side of every downtrodden group in the world? Go to every country and exert political and even military pressure to treat them all better. It would make us feel better, and would be in compliance of God's requirement to love everyone.

I know - once we were in Iraq and couldn't find WMD, King George II said that it was about "freedom." We invaded Iraq to release the poor suffering Iraqis from a brutal dictator. Okay, why not invade Cuba, then? Or North Korea? Why pick a particular case and pretend it fulfills some universal ideal?
