The Day the Abyss Wasn't Opened

    


     Today CERN (Large Hedron Collider) was supposed to re-start (and some worry warts were concerned this would result in earth being swallowed by a man-made black hole or gates of Hell being flung open). However, the event was re-scheduled.  I myself am not at all worried, since last time it was turned on this didn't happen. Some people connected it with the alleged prophetic event total solar eclipse to occur in five days, and the Passover blood moon (third in the tetrad series that began last year) on April 4th. Some connect those events to the prophecies of Revelation and Joel and other books of the Bible, heralding the coming day of Judgment from God:


And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;...     -Revelation 6:12 (KJV)


The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.      -Joel 2:31 (English Standard Version)

     From time to time on here, I mention my sleep problems. Last night I woke myself up several times talking in my sleep. I wish I knew what it was I was saying. Also had recent sleep paralysis experiences again. I wonder why they are ALWAYS horrifying. Why cant I be paralyzed and having puppies licking me, rather than hell-beasts using my limbs in some infernal game of tug-of-war? Oh well, like I always say-at least I'm not in jail. Anything is better than that. I am returning to my fast in connection with the 19 Day Baha'i Fast. I had to take a Sabbatical (ha ha get it! Sabbatical?!) in lieu of an upper respiratory infection (which in its own way contributed to a increased level of spiritual awareness through increased bodily temperature, decreased food intake and OTC medicine.

"When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to Bhagavad-gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of the overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day."

I am a Partial-Preterist

     As I continue my study of  the Book of Revelation, I  have decided that I am a Partial-preterist. That means that I believe that the events written about in Revelation have already come to pass and that such events as the Abomination of Desolation and the rise of the Antichrist have already occurred. Certain events such as Judgement Day are still to be expected in the future. We have had a small earthquake in the Oklahoma City Metro area a couple of nights ago and it is said that there have been tremors around Lake Thunderbird that have gone unreported by the Geo Survey. I have felt no shaking so I can't report on any earthquake experience. California has also had a couple of small quakes today. A tropical storm headed for the U.S. gulf may turn into a hurricane by tonight. In Oklahoma we are expecting severe storms tonight and tomorrow, with the possibility of damaging hail and wind.

 

Some reflections on the Book of Revelations

When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood,... (English Standard Version)

     Next year and the following will see four blood moons and a simultaneous eclipse. I believe that this prophecy could be fulfilled at that time. During the four blood moons, the moon will be the color of blood-hence the name. During the eclipse phase the red moon's passage across the sun will make the sun appear black like sack cloth. During an eclipse the corona of the sun can sometimes be seen, giving the sun a "hairy appearance" (again like sack cloth). I believe that the four blood moons, could herald this event. Or at least serve as a bad omen for Israel signaling a coming war. Blood moons have often signaled significant events in Israel's history.

     Other places in Revelations describe things like:
* shaking of the heavens
* earthquakes
* mountains and islands being moved out of place
* debris and smoke (which would also contribute to the moon having a crimson appearance)

     This brings images to my mind of God knocking earth out of orbit. Then he slam dunks us into another dimension:
-The sun, moon and stars are gone.
-Earth rolls around in a void until the end of 'the end'.

     Earth is finally annihilated with fire and all things are made again.
