Earth Changes Accelerate: What Is Causing These Record Heatwaves, Massive “Firenadoes”, Giant Dust Storms And Large Earthquakes? - Michael Snyder

Posted: 06 Aug 2018 Michael Snyder

Major changes are happening to our planet, and the experts are groping for answers.  In recent days some have suggested that what we are witnessing is the natural progression of “man-made climate change”, but that explanation has generally been received with a lot of skepticism.  Something truly dramatic appears to be happening to the globe, and it isn’t just because the amount of carbon dioxide in the air suddenly reached some sort of magical “tipping point”.  But without a doubt, temperatures are getting warmer.  In July, Death Valley experienced “the hottest month ever recorded on the planet”.  Over in Europe, Saturday was being billed as Europe’s “hottest day ever”, and temperatures in Lisbon, Portugal were expected to top 107 degreesboth Saturday and Sunday.  On the other side of the planet, the crippling drought in Australia is devastating farms “like a cancer”, and things are so hot in North Korea that the government has declared “an unprecedented natural disaster”
This week, the North Korean government called record-high temperatures in the country “an unprecedented natural disaster” and said that country was working together to fight the problem.
An editorial published Thursday in Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the ruling party, highlighted the difficulties that the long stretch of high temperatures would cause for North Korea’s agricultural sector, specifically crops such as rice and maize. The newspaper called for North Koreans to act as one and “display their patriotic zeal in the ongoing campaign for preventing damage by high temperature.”
In California, extreme heat and bone dry conditions continue to fuel some of the worst wildfires in the history of the state
Crews battling deadly Northern California wildfires prepare for another day of hot and dry conditions that could drive the flames into new areas and threaten more homes.
According to Cal Fire, more than 15,000 personnel are on the lines of 18 large blazes across California on Saturday. So far, the fires since June have killed 8, burned more than 559,000 acres and damaged or destroyed over 1,800 structures. Roughly 17,000 homes continue to be threatened by these fires, and about 45,000 residents are under evacuation.
Ultimately, this may turn out to be the worst year for wildfires that California has ever seen.
Of course there have been bad years for wildfires before.  But what we haven’t seen before are “firenadoes” that pack 143 mph winds
On Thursday, NWS researcher combed through the wreckage left behind and determined a fire whirl — commonly known as a fire tornado — roared through the area between 7:30 p.m and 8 p.m. on July 26th.
It was packing 143 mph winds, turning heavy-duty high tension power line towers into twisted pieces of metal, uprooting trees and ripping the bark off other trees.
When I first heard about this fire tornado, I was absolutely stunned.
I had never heard of a fire tornado anywhere near that size in the United States, and apparently the experts hadn’t either
“This is historic in the U.S.,” Craig Clements, director of San Jose State University’s Fire Weather Research Laboratory, told BuzzFeed News. “This might be the strongest fire-induced tornado-like circulation ever recorded.”
Known as a pyrocumulus cloud, the ominous red weather formations usually occur over volcanic eruptions or forest fires when intensely heated air triggers an upward motion that pushes smoke and water vapor to rapidly rise. They can develop their own weather patters, including thunderstorms with severe winds which then further fan the flames.
Elsewhere in the Southwest, drought continues to intensify, and this is starting to produce absolutely enormous dust storms.
For example, check out what just happened to the city of Phoenix
A huge wall of dust enveloped the Phoenix metro area on Thursday in the second monsoon storm in a four-day span.
Officials at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport said flights were delayed or held until visibility improved.
National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists said blowing dust in the Phoenix area brought near-zero visibility for drivers Thursday evening.
Certainly a dust storm is less destructive than a “fire tornado” in the short-term, but as we saw in the 1930s, a consistent pattern of giant dust storms can absolutely cripple a nation.
And let us not forget all of the shaking that has been happening to the crust of our planet.
On Sunday, Indonesia was shaken by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake
The death toll rose to 82 after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake rocked the Indonesian island of Lombok and on nearby Bali on Sunday, damaging buildings, sending terrified residents and tourists running into the streets and triggering a brief tsunami warning.
Social media posts from the scene showed debris piled on streets and sidewalks. Hospital patients, many still in their beds, were rolled out onto streets as a safeguard against structural damage to the hospital buildings.
So why is all of this happening?

Yes, the amount of carbon dioxide in the air is increasing, and it has been increasing for a very long time.  Ultimately, the amount that humans contribute to the overall level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is marginal, and even if we took the most extreme measures possible there is very little that we could do to significantly affect the balance.
And scientists assure us that our planet once had much, much higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the air then we do today, and our planet appeared to have thrived under those conditions.

But the narrative won’t change.  The mainstream media will continue to tell us that the Earth changes that we are witnessing are due to global warming and that if we reverse course that we can go back to how things were before.

No, we can’t go back, because the changes that are happening are way outside of our control.

Fundamental changes are happening to our planet, and this is just the beginning.  For now these Earth changes are a minor nuisance to a lot of people, but pretty soon nobody will be able to ignore them.

Is this really happening? - ONE FOR ISRAEL

SHALOM!
Even as recently as ten years ago, it would have been hard to believe the response to the gospel that we are seeing in Israel today.

Our evangelistic videos in the Hebrew language have gone far and wide, and we are contacted by Israelis wanting to know more about Jesus approximately five times every day!

I imagine you are just as excited and grateful as we are to see God so powerfully at work among his people in our day - that we can see it with our own eyes, and take part in this wonderful move of God in Israel.
Dr. Erez Soref, President
of ONE FOR ISRAEL 
OVER 10 MILLION VIEWS ON OUR HEBREW LANGUAGE YOUTUBE CHANNEL THIS YEAR!

"Thanks to your videos I got answers to many of my questions, and if I hadn't come across one of them in particular on YouTube, (the one that brought me to faith) my life would still be empty without Yeshua. I hope you get many more views and that the number subscribed to your channel will grow and grow."

(Message from a new Israeli believer)


If you look carefully beneath the rows of videos in the picture above, you can see that each one has many hundreds of thousands of views -
Two Israeli Jews explain the gospel in Jerusalem like you've never heard before!!!

JESUS: NOT SO SECRET ANY MORE!

Over the last five years we have produced over 100 evangelistic videos, explaining the gospel and giving answers to common objections to faith, along with over 30 testimonies of Messianic Jews in Israel - all in the Hebrew language. And they have been viewed over 10 million times. We always say that Jesus is "the best kept secret in Judaism". The rabbis might try to keep it quiet, but the secret that Jesus really is the Jewish Messiah is well and truly out of the bag!

Many Israelis now recognize Eitan, Moti, and Anastasia on the streets and are super enthusiastic about the message we are bringing. A lot of people in Israel have become tired of dead religion and are open to the exciting message of new life in Jesus.

Every day we get about five calls from Israelis wanting to know more about Yeshua and our faith.


"Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes,
and see that the fields are white for harvest."
(John 4:35)

Keep praying for the people of Israel! They're open, thirsty and searching for the truth.
Would you like to join us and become a part of what God is doing at this exciting time?

Billy Graham's Life on Display Like Never Before at Museum of the Bible - CBN News John Jessup


Billy Graham's Life on Display Like Never Before at 
Museum of the Bible

CBN News John Jessup


WASHINGTON – Billy Graham is arguably the most well-known preacher, familiar to people both 
inside and outside of the Christian church.

Yet still, five months after his death, a more intimate picture of the prominent pastor is coming into 
focus through a new exhibit at the Museum of the Bible called Pilgrim Preacher: Billy Graham, the 
Bible, and the Challenges of the Modern World.

While the evangelist's influence is difficult to measure, his presence looms large in the exhibit space 
with dramatic black and white floor-to-ceiling murals and quotations sprinkled throughout the 
that shaped his ministry," explained Anthony Schmidt, an associate curator at the Museum of the Bible 
and the exhibit's designer. "But then we wanted people to better understand culturally how he shaped 
post-war America in terms of his use of the media and the reach that he had around the globe."

In his more than 60 years as a preacher, Graham pioneered the use of radio, television, film, and mass 
crusades to teach from the holy scriptures.

"Very early on, he embraced technology and media, and that's what set him apart," Schmidt said.

It was when he was a little boy watching television with his parents that Schmidt first recalls seeing 
Graham. Then in college, he attended the evangelist's last crusade before retiring. The museum 
contains the pulpit used from that New York City revival in 2005 in addition to one from one of his 
first crusades.

As overseer of the exhibit, Schmidt has helped to collect more than a hundred of Graham's books, 
Bibles, and other personal belongings, which display the "pilgrim preacher's" journey from a boy born 
in Charlotte, North Carolina to a man who reached millions around the world.

From now until January 2019, the exhibit shows never-before-seen items on loan from the 
Billy Graham Library, where visitors can see his handwritten class notes from Bible school and a 
personal inscription he wrote in his father's Bible. There's even a pair of war-issue military boots that 
he wore during a trip to Korea in 1952 in sub-zero temperatures.

Collectively, the displays show his wide-ranging reach, which extended beyond the confines of the 
church and affected both culture and politics.

Still, Graham's son and ministry successor told CBN News earlier this year despite his father's 
prominence, he always understood his calling.

"My father never wanted to be a celebrity," insisted Franklin Graham. "Maybe that's why God used 
him."
