October 15, 2017 Update - In Israel, 25th of Tishrei, 5778
Eighteen states and the District of Columbia have now sued Donald Trump for his executive orders which attempt to destroy the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Fires continue to rage in California. The death toll now stands at 40. Hurricane Ophelia will strike Ireland (yes, Ireland) tomorrow. Ophelia, on its way from the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean, has maximum sustained winds of 85mph and is expected to be a powerful extratropical cyclone with hurricane force winds while it moves near Ireland and the United Kingdom, 30 years after the Great Storm of 1987. In the path of the storm is Aberdeen, Scotland. Aberdeen became the center of Europe's petroleum industry. With the largest heliport in the world and an important service ship harbour port serving offshore oil rigs, Aberdeen is often called the "Oil Capital of Europe". Ophelia is a Greek name (ofelos - οφελο) meaning "benefit". >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> October 13, 2017 Update - In Israel, 23rd of Tishrei, 5778 Fires are still raging at multiple locations in Northern California. So far 33, mostly elderly people, have perished and approximately 212,000 acres have burned. Over 8,000 firefighters are battling the 21 wildfires which have destroyed at least 3,500 homes and businesses and forcing an estimated 25,000 people to flee. Scientists are preliminarily blaming the size and severity of the fires on climate change. From the Scientific American issue Oct. 12, 2017: www.scientificamerican.com/article/scientists-see-climate-change-in-californias-wildfires/ "Months of record-high temperatures, preceded by heavy rainfall last winter, also fueled the destructive power of the fire that burned through the region." "Temperatures soared in the San Francisco Bay Area in early September, hitting 106 degrees Fahrenheit in San Francisco, a new record, and 108 in San Rafael, north of the city. It was the warmest summer in more than 100 years of record keeping, said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist with UCLA: 'It beat the previous record by a pretty wide margin.' Those high temperatures dried out vegetation throughout the area, he said. While fires are a part of life in California, this one became more destructive because it had so much dry brush and grassland — fed by last winter's rains — to burn." "Powerful winds pushed the flames farther, Swain said. Known locally as the Diablo wind, they're similar to the Santa Ana wind in Southern California, and they reached an unusually high speed of 79 mph Sunday night. Coupled with relatively low humidity, the wind patterns quickly created havoc. '"This is very much a weather-driven fire, but there is definitely a climate component to the overall story, too,' Swain said." Joan Finkle, an innkeeper in Kenwood who was evacuated, said; “It was a confluence of all the worst factors. I've lived here my whole life. They always tell us October is the worst.” However, she did acknowledge man's destruction of our environment. “I think Mother Nature's pretty mad at us.” The Book of Revelation does make reference to this. You must just understand the symbolism of the Bowls of God's Fury as they represent not only a warming planet, but also fossil fuel pollution in our seas, rivers, streams and aquifers, to the point that a barrel of oil and a short ton of coal is worth more than the thousands of lives they negatively impact. "Negatively impact" meaning destroying our physical presence on Earth as well and rotting our souls with idolatry. Rev.16:8-9 8The fourth angel poured out his bowl [of God's Fury...Oil] on the sun. It was given the power to burn people with fire. 9People were burned by the scorching heat and blasphemed the name of God who had power over these plagues, but they [climate deniers] did not repent or give him glory. Today, President Donald J. Trump plans to decertify the Iran Nuclear Deal. "Iran Nuclear Deal" is officially known as The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA which is an international nuclear non-proliferation agreement between Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council—China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States and the European Union. Iran's compliance is "policed" by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), providing regular access to all Iranian nuclear facilities. As a reward of compliance, Iran has received economic relief from U.S., European Union, and United Nations Security Council in the form of the lifting NUCLEAR-RELATED sanctions. Pre news conference, CNN reports: "Trump's move, which had been previewed to CNN by government sources and foreign diplomats, will give Congress 60 days to decide whether to reimpose sanctions lifted under the terms of the agreement. While the administration is not expected to push Congress to go that far, since it would likely cause Iran to immediately walk away, proponents of the nuclear deal fear that Trump's decision will strike a severe blow at the deal's legitimacy. A significant stiffened US policy toward Iran designed to tackle what the White House says are Tehran's destabilizing activities and support for terrorism could return the enemies to the cycle of confrontation and proxy wars of most of the last four decades, that could in itself cause the deal to slowly begin to unravel. "If the President chooses to not certify, that already will be a negative step -- for one thing it will start a process of isolating us from our allies," Ernest Moniz, Obama's former energy secretary who helped negotiate the agreement, said on CNN's "New Day." "If we went all the way and reimposed sanctions while Iran is in compliance ... this would be a slippery slope towards a bad outcome, something very much not in our national security interest," Moniz said. Katy Tur, NBC news correspondent, Chief Prophetess, Trump Antagonist and author of the new book "UNBELIEVABLE", accurately predicted Trump would "pick a fight" with Iran on the Christmas Day 2016 episode of Meet The Press. Katy, I'm not going to read your book until final editing of mine. I don't want ur prophecy further influencing my message. My message agrees with retiring Tennessee Republican Senator Bob Corker: Trump is setting the country "on the path to World War III." I've been saying we could easily have wars on 3 fronts: DPRK, Iran and Europe. We've NEVER fought a nuclear war. On August 6th and 9th, 1945, the U.S. dropped 2 bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, respectively named "Little Boy" and "Fat Man". "Little Boy" was a uranium fission gun-type bomb that exploded with about thirteen kilotons of force and "Fat Man" was a 21-kiloton plutonium fission device. There was utter devastation and no retaliatory nuclear response from the Japanese military. They didn't have a "nuke" to respond with. 5 days after "Fat Man", the Japanese unconditionally surrendered. When President Trump makes statements that the threat from North Korea will be met with "fire and fury like the world has never seen", my response is this: The world saw and remembers "Little Boy" and "Fat Man". If Trump needs a history lesson, he should read first hand reports from people in the air and on the ground in the below link titled Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - 1945 from the Atomic Heritage Foundation. One six year old boy said; "The details and the scenes were just like Hell." http://www.atomicheritage.org/history/bombings-hiroshima-and-nagasaki-1945 Ana Swanson at the The Washington Post published an article in Aug. 2015 titled What it would look like if the Hiroshima bomb hit your city. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/08/05/what-it-would-look-like-if-the-hiroshima-bomb-hit-your-city/?utm_term=.0c3cd1741813 Using a "Nuke Map" developed by Alex Wellerstein, a nuclear historian at the Stevens Institute of Technology, Ana illustrates the 2 base cases of New York City (lower Manhattan) being struck in both "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" scenarios, then Washington D.C. being struck in a "Little Boy" scenario. That's devastation using a 72 year old technology. The next scenarios show the greatly enhanced devastation of fusion-type 60-kiloton (like those developed and tested by India) nuclear bomb and W-87, a 300-kiloton (currently part of the U.S. nuclear arsenal) respectively striking Lower Manhattan and Washington D.C. Given the fact that Donald Trump banned The Washington Post from his primary campaign, its highly doubtful he'd read the article, much less understand it's technical and ultimately apocalyptic details. After becoming the Republican presidential nominee Trump began receiving National Security briefings, where he asked the question 3 times of his briefers: "If we have nuclear weapons, why don't we use them?". Below is President Trump's Town Hall interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews where he advocated dissemination of nuclear weapons to Japan, Saudi Arabia and Europe, then refused to take nukes "off the table" as a means of fighting a war.

I'll quote the Prophet Isaiah, Chapter 2, Verses 2-4. Verse 4 is inscribed on a wall in Ralph Bunche Park across 1st Avenue from United Nations Plaza in Manhattan. The park was named in 1979 for Ralph Bunche, the first African-American to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
2 In days to come, The mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established as the highest mountain and raised above the hills. All nations shall stream toward it. 3Many peoples shall come and say: “Come, let us go up to the LORD’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, That he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For from Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4 He shall judge between the nations, and set terms for many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; One nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again. Nuclear weapons are a deterrent, not a weapon of choice. I pray that their stockpiles are eventually eliminated. If the U.S. finds itself in the midst of 2 conventional wars in the Middle East and on the Korean Peninsula, not to mention accelerating into nuclear conflicts, it would split and probably decimate a large portion of our forces as well as those of our allies. That scenario would open nation-sized doors in Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic States for the Russian military to casually walk right in, as uninvited guests. They control most of the natural gas supply to all of Europe through their mostly-state-owned energy company Gazprom. If the Russians were to "shutdown their compressors" and "close the valves" on gas pipelines leading to Europe (like Nordstream I and II) then they would "own" NATO and the EU. Is our military and those of our allies looking at those scenarios? With an "unstable" U.S. president who has a very "trusting" relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, they might want to start. Adolf Hitler tried his hand at world domination and by the "Grace of God" failed. Nazi Germany started its nuclear weapons in Apr. 1939, before the Manhattan Project began. From the below-linked Atomic Heritage Foundation article, German Atomic Bomb Project, "Robert Furman, assistant to General Leslie Groves and the Chief of Foreign Intelligence for the Manhattan Project, described how 'the Manhattan Project was built on fear: fear that the enemy had the bomb, or would have it before we could develop it.'" Hitler's interest in a nuclear weapon wasn't as real as the U.S. rightfully thought it might be. He was much more interested in developing the V-2, a long-range ballistic missile. 5 years after the Nazis started there nuclear program they had only advanced to preliminary research. www.atomicheritage.org/history/german-atomic-bomb-project At the end of a possible nuclear conflict, particularly in the Middle East, psychopaths like Trump, Jared Kushner and Stephen Miller get their "dream-of-ultimate carnage-come-true" so the Judeo-Christians (particularly Evangelicals) who follow these outlaws, can satisfy their desire to witness the end-all Holy War of Armageddon while reaping the spoils of skyrocketing prices of crude oil..."the wine of God's Fury". And regardless of the "carnage', in their minds they did it all in the name of Making America Great Again. I'm not a "Doomsday Pastor" sounding off, rather a pragmatic eschatologist who's been studying Trump for the last 2 years and basing my comparative analysis on the cruel despotism of Nero, Hitler and the "Biblical Bad Guys" going back to the 13th "deplorable" judge in the 7th Book of Bible. (Remember that 13-7 number. It'll be discussed in a future blog). http://www.usccb.org/bible/scripture.cfm?bk=Judges&ch= http://www.usccb.org/bible/judges/8 http://www.usccb.org/bible/judges/9 Both the Old and New Testaments discuss the destruction of the earth in an event like a catastrophic earthquake. It may be referring to an ultimate world-scale nuclear war. These are both 6th Seal events discussed below: Isaiah 24:17-23 and The Book of Revelation 6:12-17. St. John's prose in Rev. 6:14 supports my theory that he saw the earth shaking violently from a nuclear explosion and the resultant mushroom cloud. Rev. 6:14 Then the sky was divided* like a torn scroll curling up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place. USCCB Footnote: * [6:14] Was divided: literally, “was split,” like a broken papyrus roll torn in two, each half then curling up to form a roll on either side The Book of Revelation "speaks" of another calamitous event in the "The Destruction of Babylon" from Chapters 14, 17-19. Rev. 18:1-24 is titled the "Fall of Babylon". Verses 9-23 read as follows: 9The kings of the earth who had intercourse with her in their wantonness will weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke of her pyre. 10They will keep their distance for fear of the torment inflicted on her, and they will say: “Alas, alas, great city, Babylon, mighty city. In one hour your judgment has come.” 11The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn for her, because there will be no more markets* for their cargo: 12their cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; fine linen, purple silk, and scarlet cloth; fragrant wood of every kind, all articles of ivory and all articles of the most expensive wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13cinnamon, spice,* incense, myrrh, and frankincense; wine, olive oil, fine flour, and wheat; cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human beings. 14“The fruit you craved has left you. All your luxury and splendor are gone, never again will one find them.” 15The merchants who deal in these goods, who grew rich from her, will keep their distance for fear of the torment inflicted on her. Weeping and mourning, 16they cry out: “Alas, alas, great city, wearing fine linen, purple and scarlet, adorned [in] gold, precious stones, and pearls. 17In one hour this great wealth has been ruined.” Every captain of a ship, every traveler at sea, sailors, and seafaring merchants stood at a distance 18and cried out when they saw the smoke of her pyre, “What city could compare with the great city?” 19 They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning: “Alas, alas, great city, in which all who had ships at sea grew rich from her wealth. In one hour she has been ruined. 20Rejoice over her, heaven, you holy ones, apostles, and prophets. For God has judged your case against her.” 21A mighty angel picked up a stone like a huge millstone and threw it into the sea and said: “With such force will Babylon the great city be thrown down, and will never be found again. 22No melodies of harpists and musicians, flutists and trumpeters, will ever be heard in you again. No craftsmen in any trade will ever be found in you again. No sound of the millstone will ever be heard in you again. 23No light from a lamp will ever be seen in you again. No voices of bride and groom will ever be heard in you again. Because your merchants were the great ones of the world, all nations were led astray by your magic potion. USCCB Footnotes: * [18:1–19:4] A stirring dirge over the fall of Babylon-Rome. The perspective is prophetic, as if the fall of Rome had already taken place. The imagery here, as elsewhere in this book, is not to be taken literally. The vindictiveness of some of the language, borrowed from the scathing Old Testament prophecies against Babylon, Tyre, and Nineveh (Is 23; 24; 27; Jer 50–51; Ez 26–27), is meant to portray symbolically the inexorable demands of God’s holiness and justice; cf. Introduction. The section concludes with a joyous canticle on the future glory of heaven. * [18:2] Many Greek manuscripts and versions omit a cage for every unclean…beast. * [18:3–24] Rome is condemned for her immorality, symbol of idolatry (see note on Rev 14:4), and for persecuting the church; cf. Rev 19:2. * [18:4] Depart from her: not evacuation of the city but separation from sinners, as always in apocalyptic literature. * [18:11] Ironically, the merchants weep not so much for Babylon-Rome, but for their lost markets; cf. Ez 27:36. * [18:13] Spice: an unidentified spice plant called in Greek amōmon. When St. John wrote the Book of Revelation, based on visions from an angel, sent by God through Christ, the basis of Babylon was 1st century AD Rome...a port city split by a river that was governed by Caesar Nero (the early Christian version of the antichrist whose name, by gematria, translated to number of the beast, 666). When you look at it from a modern day perspective, it could still be a port city split by a river that exports the "wine of her licentious passion"(v.3) and "magic potion"...the liquid contents in a bowl "God's Fury" or crude oil in modern day terms. You can read the entire chapter 18 in the following link: http://www.usccb.org/bible/revelation/18 Time will only tell. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wednesday, NBC News exposed that the comment from Secretary of State Rex Tillerson saying President Donald J. Trump is a "moron", came from a meeting of the nation’s highest-ranking national security leaders last summer where Trump said he wanted what amounted to a nearly tenfold increase in the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Trump responded by issuing a Twitter threat that the viability of NBC to report accurately information would be solved by an "authoritarian" revocation of NBC's "license". Little did he know that news networks do not hold federal licenses, rather their individual television stations do. Even people like Sen. Ben Sasse - (R) Nebraska questioned the president's attack on the 1st Amendment. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Yesterday, Donald Trump issued an executive orders which will probably destabilize the Affordable Care Act by siphoning out younger and healthier Americans from the exchanges. The Labor Dept. is tasked with making it easier for small businesses, and possibly individuals, to join together and buy health insurance through nationwide association health plans. The order would allow consumers to buy short-term policies, which don't have to comply with Obamacare's protections for those with pre-existing conditions. Younger and healthier customers would be lured away from Obamacare and thereby reduce the "risk pool" and send premiums skyrocketing for sicker people left in the exchanges. Trump didn't stop there. The administration confirmed last night that it would immediately halt federal subsidy payments for cost-sharing reductions against the advice of some administration officials and insurance industry trade groups. Bloomberg is reporting that Trump's efforts will cost taxpayers $194 billion with a "B". The Attorneys General from California, Xavier Becerra, New York's Eric Schneiderman and North Carolina's Josh Stein have now threatened litigation and these three gentlemen will make good on their threats. I'm currently a resident of New York State who's looking for new opportunities in California and I have roots in North Carolina going back to the late 1700's. In 1836, Donald Trump's favorite president, Andrew Jackson, gave my great X 3 Cherokee grandfather an all-expenses-paid walk from North Carolina to Oklahoma called the Trail of Tears. We believe he died on the journey or after he arrived. I currently have health insurance through the ACA and I have 3 pre-existing conditions. Like many do, I rely on the ACA to provide affordable health insurance. Without it, I would risk both catastrophic financial loss and my health would greatly suffer without access to quality care and life-saving prescription medication. Adding another insult to the plight of Puerto Rico yesterday, President Trump lashed out at the U.S. territory threatening to remove "FEMA, the Military & the First Responders" due his view that U.S. citizens there should suffer due to years of financial difficulties, some self-inflicted, which caused the deterioration of their "Electric and all infrastructure". 
The Atlantic reported back in May 2017 about Puerto Rico's every-growing debt difficulties related to it's current healthcare situation:
"While states receive a federal matching percentage for every dollar they spend on Medicaid enrollees—a match rate that is enhanced for enrollees under the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion and adjusted for the poverty rate in each state—the match rate for Puerto Rico and the other territories is much lower, and there is a global cap on the amount of funds they can receive every year, which was $329 million for Puerto Rico in 2015, good for only 14 percent of total costs that year.Although the ACA provided Puerto Rico nearly $6 billion in a one-time eight-year allotment in Medicaid and Marketplace funds, even with that addition, the federal government still pays less per enrollee than it does for even the poorest states. That funding will be exhausted this year, which might drop half of the island’s Medicaid population to the ranks of the uninsured. This limited block grant funding scheme, now considered a potential model for funding Medicaid under various Republican Obamacare repeal plans, was almost destined to fail in Puerto Rico. Not only has the Puerto Rican Medicaid block grant failed to keep up with real health costs, it has lagged further and further behind the expansion of the program in the states under the Affordable Care Act. Their spending increased especially as reforms like the Affordable Care Act added more eligible enrollees with generous federal matching funds, but Puerto Rico’s hard caps remained. The block-grant structure also illustrates the worst possible scenario for states under the Republican plans: Funding that cuts federal spending by simply not providing enough to sick people, and a health-care infrastructure that cannot adjust or mobilize to fight epidemics." OK, listen up folks! This is where it get's into "THE PLAGUE" part of diminishing the quality of healthcare for all Americans, particularly Puerto Rico citizens. Rev. 6:8 reads; They were given authority over a quarter of the earth, to kill with sword [war], famine [drought due and historical wildfires due to climate change], and PLAGUE [diminished healthcare], and by means of the beasts [unbridled fossil fuel exploration and production] of the earth. This goes to Trump's very core about survival of only "the very fittest". What the Puerto Rican people will endure may get exponentially worse with the lack of clean water, electricity and quality medical care. I saw a report earlier in the week from NBC, that the USNS Comfort was treating 7 people. People, mainly of Latin American and Roman Catholic origin are greatly suffering and the president tosses them paper towels like he's standing on a free-throw line. Given his disdain for professional athletes who speak their mind about racial injustice, this is about as close as Trump will get to professional basketball. It all goes back to anti-social and narcissistic psychopathy that I discussed below. Straight out of Adolf Hitler's "superior society" playbook titled Mein Kampf. From Volume One - A Reckoning Chapter XI: Nation and Race: "Any crossing of two beings not at exactly the same level produces a medium between the level of the two parents. This means: the offspring will probably stand higher than the racially lower parent, but not as high as the higher one. Consequently, it will later succumb in the struggle against the higher level. Such mating is contrary to the will of Nature for a higher breeding of all life. The precondition for this does not lie in associating superior and inferior, but in the total victory of the former. The stronger must dominate and not blend with the weaker, thus sacrificing his own greatness. Only the born weakling can view this as cruel, but he after all is only a weak and limited man; for if this law did not prevail, any conceivable higher development of organic living beings would be unthinkable." - Adolf Hitler Remember Trump's use of demeaning physical attributes to describe people that he disdains. "Little Marco" referring to Florida's Republican Senator Marco Rubio. "Liddle Bob Corker" referring to Tennessee's Republican Senator Bob Corker. "Little Rocket Man" referring to Kim Jung Un. He also referred to Michael Bloomberg as "little" when Bloomberg spoke out against Trump during the primaries. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
October 9, 2017 Update - In Israel, 19th of Tishrei, 5778
Today in Hazard, KY, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency administrator, Scott Pruit announced that he will fully repeal the Clean Power Plan to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions from the U.S. electricity sector. The Trump administration alleges that the Clean Power Plan is an Obama administration product of illegal executive overreach combined with a "war on coal”. What Scott Pruitt failed to mention to the coal miners living in Hazard, is that the price of natural gas killed "Big Coal". Utility companies won't pass on higher utility prices to their consumers to subsidize the coal mining industry, when natural gas is typically less expensive and much cleaner to burn. Or will they? My first 2 projects out of college were a lignite-fired power plant in Naborton, LA and a subbituminous coal-fired power plant in Delta, UT. I was smart enough then to know, the cleaner the fuel, the less the capital investment per megawatt produced. The eye of Category 1 Hurricane Nate (meaning "Gift of God") passed over Keesler Air Force Base which is the home of the AF Hurricane Hunters, early the morning of October 8th. Regarding the occult, below I stated: 'Those who practice sorcery and divination, particularly Haitian Vodou, Obeah, JuJu and Santeria, Just how foolish and twisted are you people? You make up signs as you go through your merry lives, even though God warned you against it. With your "crystal balls" and spells, you think you can control time and space, fully knowing you can't control what God has written. He warned you in Lev. 20:6-8, Dt.18:9-14, Is.2:6, Is.8:16-20, Jer.27:9-11, Jer.50:36, Micah 5:11, Rev.2:2-6,14-16 and Rev.22:14-15. I suggest you mend your wicked ways, or you too, will be "screwed"'. The countries most associated with the West African-based occults who have been impacted by the recent hurricanes and earthquakes are as follows: The Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica, Jamaica, Saint Vincent, the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, The Virgin Islands, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti and Mexico. With the exception of Mexico, most of the Caribbean nations and territories were affected by Hurricanes Harvey (meaning "warrior"), Irma (meaning "whole, immense, universal", Jose (meaning "raised; who pardons") and Maria (meaning "bitter"). In the case of Irma and Maria, they decimated Puerto Rico (meaning "rich port" and Dominica (meaning "Sunday"). The Virgin Islands were also greatly affected by Maria. Hurricane Katia (meaning "pure") made landfall north of Tecolutla, between Tampico and the city of Veracruz, in eastern Mexico as a Category 1 on Sep. 9th. 3 major earthquakes struck Mexico between September 8th and 23rd: There was a Magnitude 6.1 temblor, 18km SSE of Matias Romero, Mexico, on Sep. 23rd. It was an aftershock to the 7.1 Magnitude quake which occurred on Sep. 19th. This Magnitude 7.1 earthquake had an epicenter some 100 miles (158 km) southwest of the Mexico City, at a depth of 51 km (32 miles). It was 32 years to the day, that a Magnitude 8.0 earthquake, took the lives of approximately 10,000 people in Mexico City and surrounding areas. Since Sep. 5th, off the Pacific coast of southern Mexico, in the Gulf of Tehauntepec, the earth has been repeatedly shaking beneath the seas and on land surrounding Laguna Oriental (Eastern Lagoon), Laguna Superior (Upper Lagoon) and Mar Muerto (Dead Sea) when a 4.5 earthquake occurred near Tres Picos, Mexico. Three days later, an Magnitude 8.1 magnitude earthquake hit 87km SW of Pijijiapan, Mexico, along a subduction zone where the Cocos Plate dips under the North American Plate. This was the mechanism for all three earthquakes.
The reason I listed the earthquakes in reverse chronological order is their relevance to key sequential events in the Book of Revelation:
Rev. 6:1 The First Six Seals. 1* Then I watched while the Lamb broke open the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures cry out in a voice like thunder, “Come forward.” USCCB Footnotes: * [6:1–16:21] A series of seven disasters now begins as each seal is broken (Rev 6:1–8:1), followed by a similar series as seven trumpets sound (Rev 8:2–11:19) and as seven angels pour bowls on the earth causing plagues (Rev 15:1–16:21). These gloomy sequences are interrupted by longer or shorter scenes suggesting the triumph of God and his witnesses (e.g., Rev 7; 10; 11; 12; 13; 14). * [6:1–17] This chapter provides a symbolic description of the contents of the sealed scroll. The breaking of the first four seals reveals four riders. The first rider (of a white horse) is a conquering power (Rev 6:1–2), the second (red horse) a symbol of bloody war (Rev 6:3–4), the third (black horse) a symbol of famine (Rev 6:5–6), the fourth (pale green horse) a symbol of Death himself, accompanied by Hades (the netherworld) as his page (Rev 6:7–8). Rev 6:8b summarizes the role of all four riders. The breaking of the fifth seal reveals Christian martyrs in an attitude of sacrifice as blood poured out at the foot of an altar begging God for vindication, which will come only when their quota is filled; but they are given a white robe symbolic of victory (Rev 6:9–11). The breaking of the sixth seal reveals typical apocalyptic signs in the sky and the sheer terror of all people at the imminent divine judgment (Rev 6:12–17). * [6:1–8] The imagery is adapted from Zec 1:8–10; 6:1–8. Rev. 7:1 The 144,000 Sealed. 1After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth,* holding back the four winds of the earth so that no wind could blow on land or sea or against any tree. USCCB Footnotes: * [7:1–17] An interlude of two visions precedes the breaking of the seventh seal, just as two more will separate the sixth and seventh trumpets (Rev 10). In the first vision (Rev 7:1–8), the elect receive the seal of the living God as protection against the coming cataclysm; cf. Rev 14:1; Ez 9:4–6; 2 Cor 1:22; Eph 1:13; 4:30. The second vision (Rev 7:9–17) portrays the faithful Christians before God’s throne to encourage those on earth to persevere to the end, even to death. * [7:1] The four corners of the earth: the earth is seen as a table or rectangular surface. Rev. 8:1 The Seven Trumpets. 1When he broke open the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven* for about half an hour. * [8:1–13] The breaking of the seventh seal produces at first silence and then seven symbolic disasters, each announced by a trumpet blast, of which the first four form a unit as did the first four seals. A minor liturgy (Rev 8:3–5) is enclosed by a vision of seven angels (Rev 8:2, 6). Then follow the first four trumpet blasts, each heralding catastrophes modeled on the plagues of Egypt affecting the traditional prophetic third (cf. Ez 5:12) of the earth, sea, fresh water, and stars (Rev 8:7–12). Finally, there is a vision of an eagle warning of the last three trumpet blasts (Rev 8:13). USCCB Footnotes: * [8:1] Silence in heaven: as in Zep 1:7, a prelude to the eschatological woes that are to follow; cf. Introduction. When I started decoding the Book of Revelation, in early 2010, the 1st 3 seals "jumped off the page": 
George Herbert Walker Bush - 41st President of the United States. 1st Seal...A White Horse.
Rev. 6:1-2 The First Six Seals. 1* Then I watched while the Lamb broke open the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures cry out in a voice like thunder, “Come forward.” 2I looked, and there was a white horse, and its rider had a bow.* He was given a crown, and he rode forth victorious to further his victories. USCCB Footnotes: * [6:1–8] The imagery is adapted from Zec 1:8–10; 6:1–8. * [6:2] White horse…bow: this may perhaps allude specifically to the Parthians on the eastern border of the Roman empire. Expert in the use of the bow, they constantly harassed the Romans and won a major victory in A.D. 62; see note on Rev 9:13–21. But the Old Testament imagery typifies the history of oppression of God’s people at all times. 
George Walker Bush - 43rd President of the United States. 2nd Seal...A Red Horse.
Rev. 6:3-4 3When he broke open the second seal, I heard the second living creature cry out, “Come forward.” 4* Another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take peace away from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another. And he was given a huge sword. USCCB Footnotes: * [6:4] Huge sword: this is a symbol of war and violence; cf. Ez 21:14–17. 
Barack Hussein Obama - 44th President of the United States. 3rd Seal...A Black Horse.
Rev.6:5-6 5When he broke open the third seal, I heard the third living creature cry out, “Come forward.” I looked, and there was a black horse,* and its rider held a scale in his hand. [symbolizing a "constitutional lawyer"] 6I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures. It said, “A ration of wheat costs a day’s pay,* and three rations of barley cost a day’s pay. But do not damage the olive oil or the wine.” USCCB Footnotes: * [6:5] Black horse: this is a symbol of famine, the usual accompaniment of war in antiquity; cf. Lv 26:26; Ez 4:12–13. The scale is a symbol of shortage of food with a corresponding rise in price. * [6:6] A day’s pay: literally, “a denarius,” a Roman silver coin that constitutes a day’s wage in Mt 20:2. Because of the famine, food was rationed and sold at an exorbitant price. A liter of flour was considered a day’s ration in the Greek historians Herodotus and Diogenes Laertius. Barley: food of the poor (Jn 6:9, 13; cf. 2 Kgs 7:1, 16, 18); it was also used to feed animals; cf. 1 Kgs 5:8. Do not damage: the olive and the vine are to be used more sparingly in time of famine.
Never in my wildest imagination did I expect Donald J. Trump to become the 45th President of the United States. When I voted for Secretary Clinton on the morning of Nov. 8, 2016, I was sure that she would win the race by a sizable margin, but I just couldn't figure out who would be the 4th seal. I assumed it would be symbolic to a continued movement by Trump's followers. In the early morning hours of Nov. 9th, my worst nightmare came true. Trump not only satisfied the characteristics of the 4th seal, but also those characteristics of Abimelech (Jgs. Chapters 8 & 9), A king, impudent, and skilled in intrigue (Dan. Chapter 8), The Desolating Abomination (Dan. 9:27, 11:31, 12:11, Mt. 24:15, Mk. 13:14), The Lawless One (2Thes.2:1-12) and The First Beast (Rev. 13:1-10).
My worst nightmare had come true. This is a man who not only threatens our democracy, but threatens the world. I fear simultaneous wars on 3 fronts: DPRK, Iran and Europe. Sen. Bob Corker, the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, charged in an interview on July 8th that President Trump was treating his office like “a reality show,” with reckless threats toward other countries that could set the nation “on the path to World War III.” I fear famine as a result of climate climate change. I fear plague as result of dismantling the Affordable Care Act and I fear the destruction of our planet due the dismantling of environmental regulations designed to protect it. This is "THE BIBLICAL BAD GUY" that the Prophet Daniel, Jesus Christ, St. Paul and St. John predicted would come. I believe that Magnitude 8.1 Earthquake near Pijijiapan, Mexico was a sign of the beginning of the Trumpets, Bowls and Plagues of Revelation chapters 8, 9 and 16. I believe an event will happen sometime between July 13th - 27th, 2018 (a 6th Seal event) which will give the world a renewal of faith to deal with the last 2 years of the Tribulation that President Trump will bring upon this world of ours, culminating in another 6th seal event sometime around July 20, 2020. I laid out the events in the below .pdf document. 
Donald J. Trump - 45th President of the United States. 4th Seal...A Pale Green Horse.
7When he broke open the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature cry out, “Come forward.” 8I looked, and there was a pale green* horse. Its rider was named Death, and Hades accompanied him. They were given authority over a quarter of the earth, to kill with sword, famine, and plague, and by means of the beasts of the earth. USCCB Footnotes: * [6:8] Pale green: symbol of death and decay; cf. Ez 14:21. 
The great thing about the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) is you can query earthquake data by date range, magnitude and location. The two tables are results of my query from Sep. 5 - Oct. 9, 2017, at a magnitude of 2.5+ in the area around the initial Magnitude 4.5 earthquake at Tres Picos, Mexico. Tres Picos meaning "Triangular" and representing the The Holy Trinity and the Eye of Providence. There 348 "events" during the 35 day period or 10 per day on average.
The 1st table is sorted by "place" or location. These are the incidence rates of temblors to nearby locations, their Spanish/Aztec-to-English translations and in the case of Catholic Saints, their Feast Day. 1 Asuncion Ixtaltepec, Mexico...Ascension to a "White Mountain" or Heaven 1 Comitancillo, Mexico 1 Ixhuatan, Mexico..."town of palm fronds" or Palm Sunday in Jerusalem 1 San Dionisio del Mar, Mexico...St. Dionysius...July 27 1 Santa Maria Petapa, Mexico...Saint Mary - Blessed Virgin Mary - Mother of Jesus Christ...January 1 1 Santo Domingo Tehuantepec, Mexico...St. Dominic...August 4 2 Chahuite, Mexico 2 Puerto Madero, Mexico...Port Log 4 Matias Romero, Mexico...St. Matthias/St. Romero...May 14 / March 24 4 Niltepec, Mexico..."Hill of Indigo." 4 Union Hidalgo, Mexico...Union "Gentleman" 5 San Jeronimo Ixtepec, Mexico...St. Jerome "view of the mountain" or "face of the mountain."...September 30 6 Mapastepec, Mexico...."Hill of the Raccoon" 11 Pijijiapan, Mexico 17 Salina Cruz, Mexico..."Salt Mine Cross" 54 San Mateo del Mar, Mexico...St. Matthew of the Sea...September 21 56 Tres Picos, Mexico...Triangular - Holy Trinity / Eye of Providence 76 San Francisco del Mar, Mexico...St. Francis of the Sea / Pope Francis...October 4 101 Paredon, Mexico..."Wall" / Donald Trump The emphasis (101 events) is on Paredon, Mexico, whose translation to English is "Wall" and is Donald Trump's "symbol of hatred" toward Mexico. The second most prominent location (76 events) in San Francisco del Mar, Mexico whose translation is St. Francis of the Sea and is the Vicar of Christ, Pope Francis. "Vicar of Christ" meaning the earthly representative of Christ. When you add the occurrences of all of the Catholic Saints, it totals to a 142. A margin of 32 indicating that Good always triumphs over Evil, but we must have a united front to prevail. The Catholic Church can't just rely on Pope Francis to rebuke Donald Trump on key issues like "The Wall", withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord and the DACA repeal. All bishops and priests must take up the cause in their Sunday homilies, regardless of the repercussions of speaking the Truth. This is at the ultimate test of faith in distinguishing THE TRUTH from THE LIE. Some of their parishioners literally live their lives on the guidance from The Church. As St. John wrote, with the Word of God, in Rev.3:10-11; 10Because you have kept my message of endurance,* I will keep you safe in the time of trial that is going to come to the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. 11I am coming quickly. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one may take your crown. USCCB Footnotes: * [3:10] My message of endurance: this does not refer to a saying of Jesus about patience but to the example of Christ’s patient endurance. The inhabitants of the earth: literally, “those who live on the earth.” This expression, which also occurs in Rev 6:10; 8:13; 11:10; 13:8, 12, 14; 17:2, 8, always refers to the pagan world. My take on Donald Trump's world religious views? Islam is not the only faith he disdains...he may dislike Catholicism as much or even more. His inner circle of faith are Christian Evangelicals and some of the more affluent members of Judaism. That's not antisemitic. That's observation. Since I published my 1st book Tribulation by G.R. Miller in May 2013, I've been steadfast in saying that the Church of Philadelphia, detailed in Rev.3:7-13, is the Catholic Church...as Timothy Cardinal Dolan refers to it, the Church of Jesus. And that folks, is the segue into our next discussion. 
The 2nd data sort I did on the query was by earthquake magnitude. Again, the original query was 2.5+. Interestingly enough, the lowest magnitude earthquake out of 347 was a magnitude 3.7. The quakes from the data sort ranged in increasing magnitude from 3.7 to 5.8. Then a 6.1, followed by the 8.1. Putting that to scripture from the Book of Revelation, by chapter, it reads as follows:
Rev.3:7-9 To Philadelphia.* 7“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia,* write this: “‘The holy one, the true, who holds the key of David, who opens and no one shall close, who closes and no one shall open, says this: 8“‘“I know your works (behold, I have left an open door* before you, which no one can close). You have limited strength, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9Behold, I will make those of the assembly of Satan who claim to be Jews and are not, but are lying, behold I will make them come and fall prostrate at your feet, and they will realize that I love you. USCCB Footnotes: * [3:7–13] The letter to Philadelphia praises the Christians there for remaining faithful even with their limited strength (Rev 3:8). Members of the assembly of Satan are again singled out (Rev 3:9; see Rev 2:9). There is no admonition; rather, the letter promises that they will be kept safe at the great trial (Rev 3:10–11) and that the victors will become pillars of the heavenly temple, upon which three names will be inscribed: God, Jerusalem, and Christ (Rev 3:12). * [3:7] Philadelphia: modern Alasehir, ca. thirty miles southeast of Sardis, founded by Attalus II Philadelphus of Pergamum to be an “open door” (Rev 3:8) for Greek culture; it was destroyed by an earthquake in A.D. 17. Rebuilt by money from the Emperor Tiberius, the city was renamed Neo-Caesarea; this may explain the allusions to “name” in Rev 3:12. Key of David: to the heavenly city of David (cf. Is 22:22), “the new Jerusalem” (Rev 3:12), over which Christ has supreme authority. * [3:8] An open door: opportunities for sharing and proclaiming the faith; cf. Acts 14:27; 1 Cor 16:9; 2 Cor 2:12. Remember the 4.2 magnitude earthquake noted above at Asuncion Ixtaltepec, Mexico or translated, Ascension to a "White Mountain" or Heaven. Remember the 56 quakes at Tres Picos, Mexico or translated Triangular or Holy Trinity / Eye of Providence 142 earthquakes near locations named for Saints Mary, Dionysius, Dominic, Matthias, Romero, Jerome, Matthew and Francis. Rev.4:1-9 Vision of Heavenly Worship.* 1After this I had a vision of an open door* to heaven, and I heard the trumpetlike voice that had spoken to me before, saying, “Come up here and I will show you what must happen afterwards.” 2* At once I was caught up in spirit.a A throne was there in heaven, and on the throne sat 3one whose appearance sparkled like jasper and carnelian. Around the throne was a halo as brilliant as an emerald. 4Surrounding the throne I saw twenty-four other thrones on which twenty-four elders* sat, dressed in white garments and with gold crowns on their heads.b 5From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder.* Seven flaming torches burned in front of the throne, which are the seven spirits of God. 6c In front of the throne was something that resembled a sea of glass like crystal.* In the center and around the throne, there were four living creatures covered with eyes in front and in back. 7The first creature resembled a lion, the second was like a calf, the third had a face like that of a human being, and the fourth looked like an eagle* in flight. 8The four living creatures, each of them with six wings,* were covered with eyes inside and out. Day and night they do not stop exclaiming: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.”d 9Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, USCCB Footnotes * [4:1–11] The seer now describes a vision of the heavenly court in worship of God enthroned. He reverently avoids naming or describing God but pictures twenty-four elders in priestly and regal attire (Rev 4:4) and God’s throne and its surroundings made of precious gems and other symbols that traditionally express the majesty of God (Rev 4:5–6). Universal creation is represented by the four living creatures (Rev 4:6–7). Along with the twenty-four elders, they praise God unceasingly in humble adoration (Rev 4:8–11). * [4:1] The ancients viewed heaven as a solid vault, entered by way of actual doors. * [4:2–8] Much of the imagery here is taken from Ez 1:10. * [4:4] Twenty-four elders: these represent the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve apostles; cf. Rev 21:12–14. * [4:5] Flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder: as in other descriptions of God’s appearance or activity; cf. Rev 8:5; 11:19; 16:18; Ex 19:16; Ez 1:4, 13. The seven spirits of God: the seven “angels of the presence” as in Rev 8:2 and Tb 12:15. * [4:6] A sea of glass like crystal: an image adapted from Ez 1:22–26. Four living creatures: these are symbols taken from Ez 1:5–21; they are identified as cherubim in Ez 10:20. Covered with eyes: these suggest God’s knowledge and concern. * [4:7] Lion…calf…human being…eagle: these symbolize, respectively, what is noblest, strongest, wisest, and swiftest in creation. Calf: traditionally translated “ox,” the Greek word refers to a heifer or young bull. Since the second century, these four creatures have been used as symbols of the evangelists Mark, Luke, Matthew, and John, respectively. * [4:8] Six wings: like the seraphim of Is 6:2. Remember the 4.9 earthquake noted above at Ixhuatan, Mexico..."town of palm fronds" or Palm Sunday in Jerusalem Remember the 4.4 earthquake noted above at Santa Maria Petapa, Mexico...Saint Mary - Blessed Virgin Mary - Mother of Jesus Christ Rev.5:1-8 The Scroll and the Lamb.* 1I saw a scroll* in the right hand of the one who sat on the throne. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.a 2Then I saw a mighty angel who proclaimed in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” 3But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to examine it. 4I shed many tears because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to examine it. 5One of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. The lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David,* has triumphed, enabling him to open the scroll with its seven seals.”b 6Then I saw standing in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and the elders, a Lamb* that seemed to have been slain. He had seven horns and seven eyes; these are the [seven] spirits of God sent out into the whole world.c 7He came and received the scroll from the right hand of the one who sat on the throne. 8When he took it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of the elders held a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the holy ones. USCCB Footnotes: * [5:1–14] The seer now describes a papyrus roll in God’s right hand (Rev 5:1) with seven seals indicating the importance of the message. A mighty angel asks who is worthy to open the scroll, i.e., who can accomplish God’s salvific plan (Rev 5:2). There is despair at first when no one in creation can do it (Rev 5:3–4). But the seer is comforted by an elder who tells him that Christ, called the lion of the tribe of Judah, has won the right to open it (Rev 5:5). Christ then appears as a Lamb, coming to receive the scroll from God (Rev 5:6–7), for which he is acclaimed as at a coronation (Rev 5:8–10). This is followed by a doxology of the angels (Rev 5:11–12) and then finally by the heavenly church united with all of creation (Rev 5:13–14). * [5:1] A scroll: a papyrus roll possibly containing a list of afflictions for sinners (cf. Ez 2:9–10) or God’s plan for the world. Sealed with seven seals: it is totally hidden from all but God. Only the Lamb (Rev 5:7–9) has the right to carry out the divine plan. * [5:5] The lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David: these are the messianic titles applied to Christ to symbolize his victory; cf. Rev 22:16; Gn 49:9; Is 11:1, 10; Mt 1:1. * [5:6] Christ is the Paschal Lamb without blemish, whose blood saved the new Israel from sin and death; cf. Ex 12; Is 53:7; Jn 1:29, 36; Acts 8:32; 1 Pt 1:18–19. This is the main title for Christ in Revelation, used twenty-eight times. Seven horns and seven eyes: Christ has the fullness (see note on Rev 1:4) of power (horns) and knowledge (eyes); cf. Zec 4:7. [Seven] spirits: as in Rev 1:4; 3:1; 4:5. Rev. 6:1 The First Six Seals. 1* Then I watched while the Lamb broke open the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures cry out in a voice like thunder, “Come forward.” USCCB Footnotes: * [6:1–16:21] A series of seven disasters now begins as each seal is broken (Rev 6:1–8:1), followed by a similar series as seven trumpets sound (Rev 8:2–11:19) and as seven angels pour bowls on the earth causing plagues (Rev 15:1–16:21). These gloomy sequences are interrupted by longer or shorter scenes suggesting the triumph of God and his witnesses (e.g., Rev 7; 10; 11; 12; 13; 14). * [6:1–17] This chapter provides a symbolic description of the contents of the sealed scroll. The breaking of the first four seals reveals four riders. The first rider (of a white horse) is a conquering power (Rev 6:1–2), the second (red horse) a symbol of bloody war (Rev 6:3–4), the third (black horse) a symbol of famine (Rev 6:5–6), the fourth (pale green horse) a symbol of Death himself, accompanied by Hades (the netherworld) as his page (Rev 6:7–8). Rev 6:8b summarizes the role of all four riders. The breaking of the fifth seal reveals Christian martyrs in an attitude of sacrifice as blood poured out at the foot of an altar begging God for vindication, which will come only when their quota is filled; but they are given a white robe symbolic of victory (Rev 6:9–11). The breaking of the sixth seal reveals typical apocalyptic signs in the sky and the sheer terror of all people at the imminent divine judgment (Rev 6:12–17). * [6:1–8] The imagery is adapted from Zec 1:8–10; 6:1–8. Rev. 8:1 The Seven Trumpets. 1When he broke open the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven* for about half an hour. USCCB Footnotes: * [8:1–13] The breaking of the seventh seal produces at first silence and then seven symbolic disasters, each announced by a trumpet blast, of which the first four form a unit as did the first four seals. A minor liturgy (Rev 8:3–5) is enclosed by a vision of seven angels (Rev 8:2, 6). Then follow the first four trumpet blasts, each heralding catastrophes modeled on the plagues of Egypt affecting the traditional prophetic third (cf. Ez 5:12) of the earth, sea, fresh water, and stars (Rev 8:7–12). Finally, there is a vision of an eagle warning of the last three trumpet blasts (Rev 8:13). * [8:1] Silence in heaven: as in Zep 1:7, a prelude to the eschatological woes that are to follow; cf. Introduction.
Most of us remember the Exxon Valdez oil spill which occurred in Prince William Sound, Alaska on March 24, 1989 (March 24 is the feast day of St. Romero) when the Exxon Valdez oil tanker, bound for Long Beach, California, struck the Bligh Reef at 12:04 local time and spilled 260,000 barrels of crude oil over the next few days. It is the 2nd largest human-caused environmental disaster next to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, in terms of volume released. Deepwater Horizon released 4.9 million barrels of crude in the Gulf of Mexico. Below is a gallery of pictures which illuminate just a bit of the devastation from Deepwater Horizon spill. The following link is from the The Atlantic and is the best photo gallery that I've found to date.
https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2011/04/the-gulf-oil-disaster-one-year-later/100049/ The 2nd Trumpet and the subsequent 2nd Bowl / Plague read as follows: Rev. 8:8-9 8* When the second angel blew his trumpet, something like a large burning mountain was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood, 9 a third of the creatures living in the sea* died, and a third of the ships were wrecked. USCCB Footnotes: * [8:8–11] The background of these two woes is the first plague of Egypt (Ex 7:20–21). * [8:9] Creatures living in the sea: literally, “creatures in the sea that had souls.” Rev. 16:3* The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea. The sea turned to blood like that from a corpse; every creature living in the sea died. * [16:3–4] Like the first Egyptian plague (Ex 7:20–21). The same woe followed the blowing of the second trumpet (Rev 8:8–9). 
When St. John received the vision of the 2nd Trumpet, Bowl and Plague it was the image of the Deepwater Horizon disaster that he was given..."large burning mountain was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood." You can see what he saw in the gallery below. I just pray that we don't have another environmental disaster similar to Deepwater Horizon or the Exxon Valdez. Per the link below, the Washington Post has uncovered that the Trump administration, through the Dept. of Interior and Sec. Ryan Zinke, is "quietly moving to allow energy exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for the first time in more than 30 years".
In the below table, you see the city named "Anchor Point". Chichi-shima in Japanese means "spillage". Deltana and Delta represent the Holy Trinity or God's Eye of Providence...In this case, it represents "God's Fury". https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-administration-working-toward-renewed-drilling-in-arctic-national-wildlife-refuge/2017/09/15/bfa5765e-97ea-11e7-87fc-c3f7ee4035c9_story.html?utm_term=.55c0220cb54d
The last 70 days have been ones of signs, saints, angels and calamity.
Are these signs of the "END TIMES". I can't say with surety...all I can do is look for signs, quote Scripture and pray to the Almighty God that Special Counsel Robert Mueller III judiciously and thoroughly completes his investigation of the Trump administration and then, as a result of a report to Congress, a bipartisan majority decision is reached, that the actions of President Donald J. Trump with regard to "high crimes and misdemeanors" warrant impeachment...before it is too late. Here's the motivation to do it expeditiously: Rev.6:7-8 7When he broke open the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature cry out, “Come forward.” 8I looked, and there was a pale green* horse. Its rider was named Death, and Hades accompanied him. They were given authority over a quarter of the earth, to kill with sword, famine, and plague, and by means of the beasts of the earth. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
October 2, 2017 Update - In Israel, 12th of Tishrei, 5778
On October, 2, 1960, I was born Gary Ray Miller, at 11:10 a.m. weighing a straight 8 pounds, The Almighty God decided to bring me into this world at St. Joseph Hospital in Houston, TX. I was born during the period of a 6th Seal event as described in Revelation 6:12-13: 12 Then I watched while he broke open the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; [The Magnitude 9.5 Valdivia Earthquake on May 22, 1960] the sun turned as black as dark sackcloth [Sep. 20, 1960 - Partial Solar Eclipse] https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEplot/SEplot1951/SE1960Sep20P.GIF and the whole moon became like blood.

[Draconids Meteor Shower - Oct. 8, 1960] http://www.bashewa.com/wxmeteor-showers.php?shower=Draconids&year=1960 I'm the son of a beauty queen named Virginia and a handsome carpenter and highly decorated war veteran, named Raymond. Wednesday, October 4th (the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi) will mark the 10 year anniversary of their tragic deaths, due to gun violence. 
In Catholicism, today is the Memorial of the Guardian Angels or in the 1960 St. Paul Daily Missal, the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels.
From the New American Bible, the Readings for October 2, 1960 are as follows:
Ps.102:20 is now Ps.103.20 20Bless the LORD, all you his angels, mighty in strength, acting at his behest, obedient to his command. Ex.23:20-23 Reward of Fidelity. 20See, I am sending an angel before you, to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared. 21Be attentive to him and obey him. Do not rebel against him, for he will not forgive your sin. My authority is within him.* 22If you obey him and carry out all I tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes. 23My angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites; and I will wipe them out. * [23:21] My authority is within him: lit., “My name is within him.” Ps.90:11-12 is now Ps.91:11-12 11*For he commands his angels with regard to you, to guard you wherever you go. 12With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone. * [91:11–12] The words are cited in Lk 4:10–11; Mt 4:6, as Satan tempts Jesus in the desert. Mt.18:1-10 The Greatest in the Kingdom. 1 At that time the disciples* approached Jesus and said, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2He called a child over, placed it in their midst, 3 and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children,* you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5* And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me. Temptations to Sin. 6 “Whoever causes one of these little ones* who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7* Woe to the world because of things that cause sin! Such things must come, but woe to the one through whom they come! 8 If your hand or foot causes you to sin,* cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into eternal fire. 9And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into fiery Gehenna. * [18:1–35] This discourse of the fourth book of the gospel is often called the “church order” discourse, but it lacks most of the considerations usually connected with church order, such as various offices in the church and the duties of each, and deals principally with the relations that must obtain among the members of the church. Beginning with the warning that greatness in the kingdom of heaven is measured not by rank or power but by childlikeness (Mt 18:1–5), it deals with the care that the disciples must take not to cause the little ones to sin or to neglect them if they stray from the community (Mt 18:6–14), the correction of members who sin (Mt 18:15–18), the efficacy of the prayer of the disciples because of the presence of Jesus (Mt 18:19–20), and the forgiveness that must be repeatedly extended to sinful members who repent (Mt 18:21–35). * [18:1] The initiative is taken not by Jesus as in the Marcan parallel (Mk 9:33–34) but by the disciples. Kingdom of heaven: this may mean the kingdom in its fullness, i.e., after the parousia and the final judgment. But what follows about causes of sin, church discipline, and forgiveness, all dealing with the present age, suggests that the question has to do with rank also in the church, where the kingdom is manifested here and now, although only partially and by anticipation; see notes on Mt 3:2; 4:17. * [18:3] Become like children: the child is held up as a model for the disciples not because of any supposed innocence of children but because of their complete dependence on, and trust in, their parents. So must the disciples be, in respect to God. * [18:5] Cf. Mt 10:40. * [18:6] One of these little ones: the thought passes from the child of Mt 18:2–4 to the disciples, little ones because of their becoming like children. It is difficult to know whether this is a designation of all who are disciples or of those who are insignificant in contrast to others, e.g., the leaders of the community. Since apart from this chapter the designation little ones occurs in Matthew only in Mt 10:42 where it means disciples as such, that is its more likely meaning here. Who believe in me: since discipleship is impossible without at least some degree of faith, this further specification seems superfluous. However, it serves to indicate that the warning against causing a little one to sin is principally directed against whatever would lead such a one to a weakening or loss of faith. The Greek verb skandalizein, here translated causes…to sin, means literally “causes to stumble”; what the stumbling is depends on the context. It is used of falling away from faith in Mt 13:21. According to the better reading of Mk 9:42, in me is a Matthean addition to the Marcan source. It would be better…depths of the sea: cf. Mk 9:42. * [18:7] This is a Q saying; cf. Lk 17:1. The inevitability of things that cause sin (literally, “scandals”) does not take away the responsibility of the one through whom they come. Mt 18:8–9 * [18:8] These verses are a doublet of Mt 5:29–30. In that context they have to do with causes of sexual sin. As in the Marcan source from which they have been drawn (Mk 9:42–48), they differ from the first warning about scandal, which deals with causing another person to sin, for they concern what causes oneself to sin and they do not seem to be related to another’s loss of faith, as the first warning is. It is difficult to know how Matthew understood the logical connection between these verses and Mt 18:6–7. * [18:10–14] The first and last verses are peculiar to Matthew. The parable itself comes from Q; see Lk 15:3–7. In Luke it serves as justification for Jesus’ table-companionship with sinners; here, it is an exhortation for the disciples to seek out fellow disciples who have gone astray. Not only must no one cause a fellow disciple to sin, but those who have strayed must be sought out and, if possible, brought back to the community. The joy of the shepherd on finding the sheep, though not absent in Mt 18:13 is more emphasized in Luke. By his addition of Mt 18:10, 14 Matthew has drawn out explicitly the application of the parable to the care of the little ones. * [18:10] Their angels in heaven…my heavenly Father: for the Jewish belief in angels as guardians of nations and individuals, see Dn 10:13, 20–21; Tb 5:4–7; 1QH 5:20–22; as intercessors who present the prayers of human beings to God, see Tb 13:12, 15. The high worth of the little ones is indicated by their being represented before God by these heavenly beings. But this day is horribly marred by unspeakable tragedy last night in Las Vegas, NV when a lone gunman, armed with automatic weapons, "sprayed lead bullets" on a crowd of approximately 22,000 people attending a Jason Aldean concert and at last count, 59 are dead and 527 are injured. This was a senseless act of violence and the very people who should be this country's Guardian Angels, let it happen. Not everyone in the U.S. government, rather mostly Republican members of Congress, the Executive Branch and Judicial branches of our government, have become beholden to the National Rifle Association. They have sold their collective souls to the devil. The 4 worst deadly mass shooting events have occurred since 2007: Las Vegas, 2017 - 59 dead and counting. Pulse Nightclub, 2016 - 49 dead. Virginia Tech, 2007 - 32 dead. Sandy Hook, 2012 - 26 dead (mostly elementary school children). When the death toll doubles more than Sandy Hook, how much worse must it get, before the citizens of this country, in unison, stand up and scream "ENOUGH"!!! We are polluting the soil of our own land with the blood of its residents. Num.35:33-34 33You will not pollute the land where you live. For bloodshed pollutes the land, and the land can have no expiation for the blood shed on it except through the blood of the one who shed it. 34Do not defile the land in which you live and in the midst of which I dwell; for I the LORD dwell in the midst of the Israelites. People will tell me, "don't politicize this", BUT I MUST!!! I MUST SCREAM "ENOUGH!!!"

www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/04/28/remarks-president-trump-national-rifle-association-leadership-forum The blood that pollutes the ground around that stage in Las Vegas is on Donald Trump's hands and on the hands of everyone who supports him and the NRA. Just as we now have a climate "on steroids", it's in the same pint of blood as from those lost due to destruction of our changing climate. It too, is on Donald Trump's hands and and on the hands of those who deny manmade climate change. (See Isaiah 24:1-23). THINGS DON'T CHANGE UNTIL PEOPLE, IN UNISON, STAND UP AND SCREAM "ENOUGH!!!".
Near Tres Picos, Mexico the earth is still speaking since the original M4.5 earthquake on Sep. 5, 2017, which was followed by a 8.1 temblor near Pijijiapan, Mexico on Sep. 8, 2017.

Sep. 25, 2017 Update - In Israel, 5th of Tishrei, 5778.
Hurricane Maria is now is now a Category 1 storm. She brushed by North Carolina and is now destined for the North Sea. There finally was an aftershock to the 7.1 Magnitude which occurred on Sep. 19th, some 158 km southwest of Mexico City. It was a 6.1 Magnitude event, 18km SSE of Matias Romero, Mexico, on Sep. 23rd. Matias is the Spanish name for Mathias, who was the Apostle elected to take the place of Judas the Betrayer. Like Mateo (Matthew), Matias means "Gift of God". Feast Day is May 14th. St. Romero is the most recent Saint and and named Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez (Aug. 15, 1917 – Mar. 24, 1980), who was the Archbishop of San Salvador. He spoke out against poverty, social injustice, assassinations, and torture. In 1980, Romero was assassinated while offering Mass in the chapel of the Hospital of Divine Providence. His Feast Day is March 24th. Mar. 24, 2018 is the Saturday of the Fifth Week of Lent...the last Saturday before The Last Supper. Romero has multiple is a Spanish or Italian religious meanings:
The message here may be that the "one who took the place of the betrayer may be martyred"...my message back..."over my dead body". The messages in the below spreadsheet continue unabated in the area surrounding the original 8.1 temblor on Sep. 8th. Messages both from the original names of Paredon, San Francisco del Mar, Tres Picos, Sam Mateo del Mar and San Dionisio del Mar, but now new messages under the following names:
It’s Friday, Sep. 22, 2017. In Israel, 2nd of Tishrei, 5778…Rosh Hashanah II. Shabbat Shuva, meaning "Sabbath [of] Return" שבת שובה , begins at sundown tonight. Yesterday was the Feast of St. Matthew. The New Testament Reading from the Gospel According to St. Mathew (San Mateo in Spanish), Chapter 9:9-13 named "The Call of Matthew", which just so happens to be my favorite Scripture. It reads:
The Call of Matthew.* 9As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man named Matthew* sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him. 10While he was at table in his house,* many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples.e 11The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher* eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12He heard this and said, “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do.* 13Go and learn the meaning of the words, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’* I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.” USCCB Footnotes: * [9:9] A man named Matthew: Mark names this tax collector Levi (Mk 2:14). No such name appears in the four lists of the twelve who were the closest companions of Jesus (Mt 10:2–4; Mk 3:16–19; Lk 6:14–16; Acts 1:13 [eleven, because of the defection of Judas Iscariot]), whereas all four list a Matthew, designated in Mt 10:3 as “the tax collector.” The evangelist may have changed the “Levi” of his source to Matthew so that this man, whose call is given special notice, like that of the first four disciples (Mt 4:18–22), might be included among the twelve. Another reason for the change may be that the disciple Matthew was the source of traditions peculiar to the church for which the evangelist was writing. *[9:10] His house: it is not clear whether his refers to Jesus or Matthew. Tax collectors: see note on Mt 5:46. Table association with such persons would cause ritual impurity. * [9:11] Teacher: see note on Mt 8:19. * [9:12] See note on Mk 2:17. * [9:13] Go and learn…not sacrifice: Matthew adds the prophetic statement of Hos 6:6 to the Marcan account (see also Mt 12:7). If mercy is superior to the temple sacrifices, how much more to the laws of ritual impurity.

Per Rev. 4:7...the Wisest...the Human...the Angel.
Last night, my son and I traveled to the City of the Angels to start the next chapter in our lives. We hoped to be unimpeded, but based on the last 14 years of my life, that just wasn't possible, but we should be safe and sound here in Los Angeles County.
Last Sunday, Sep. 17, 1017. The Old Testament Reading from the Wisdom of Ben Sira, Chapter 27:30 - Chapter 28:1-7 27:30 Wrath and anger, these also are abominations, yet a sinner holds on to them. 28:1-7 1The vengeful will face the Lord’s vengeance; indeed he remembers their sins in detail. 2Forgive your neighbor the wrong done to you; then when you pray, your own sins will be forgiven. 3Does anyone nourish anger against another and expect healing from the LORD? 4Can one refuse mercy to a sinner like oneself, yet seek pardon for one’s own sins? 5If a mere mortal cherishes wrath, who will forgive his sins? 6Remember your last days and set enmity aside; remember death and decay, and cease from sin! 7Remember the commandments and do not be angry with your neighbor; remember the covenant of the Most High, and overlook faults. In the Gospel Message from St. Matthew, Christ teaches St. Peter, the 1st Pope of the Catholic Church, that if your brother sins against you, your forgiveness must exceed 7 times and no less than 77 times. I’m working on forgiveness for the people who have tried to hurt my children and me, much of the last 14 years: A former employer, 2 banks that underwrite the former employers Master Limited Partnership and another 3 banks who are former corporate co-trustees of 2 trusts for me and my 3 kids. If you've never heard of Gang Stalking, I've attached the link below. It can be “pure hell”. It can leave you dead, destitute or institutionalized, unless you're mentally strong enough to build up an immunity to it, and then you’re a “force to be reckoned with”. Solace comes in knowing, there is reckoning by God for everyone: https://gangstalking.wordpress.com/faq/ Rev.22:12-13 12“Behold, I am coming soon. I bring with me the recompense I will give to each according to his deeds. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” Please pray for the people of Mexico and the Caribbean. On Sep. 19th, a Magnitude 7.1 earthquake whose epicenter was some 100 miles (158 km) southwest of the Mexico City, at a depth of 51 km (32 miles). It was 32 years to the day, that a Magnitude 8.0 earthquake, took the lives of approximately 10,000 people in Mexico City and surrounding areas. Interestingly enough, as of this writing, there have been no aftershocks to the 7.1 temblor. Since Sep. 5th, off the Pacific coast of southern Mexico, in the Gulf of Tehauntepec, the earth has been repeatedly shaking beneath the seas and on land surrounding Laguna Oriental (Eastern Lagoon), Laguna Superior (Upper Lagoon) and Mar Muerto (Dead Sea) when a 4.5 earthquake occurred near Tres Picos, Mexico. Three days later, an 8.1 magnitude earthquake hit 87km SW of Pijijiapan, Mexico, along a subduction zone where the Cocos Plate dips under the North American Plate. The quake was so powerful that it registered on local seismic monitors at Mt. Rainier, Washington. The mechanism which caused the 8.1 earthquake, movement of the subduction zone where the Cocos Plate dips under the North American Plate, was the same for 7.1 quake. Since September 8th a series of aftershocks has repeatedly peppered the coastline near small Mexican towns named:
Paredon - “The Wall”. Donald Trump’s symbol of hatred toward the country of Mexico.
Donald J. Trump leaving St. Patrick's Cathedral in mid-town Manhattan, on Oct. 14, 2016. Look at the contempt in his eyes. He's trying to split Christianity along Catholic and Protestant lines...The Apostasy
San Francisco del Mar - “St. Francis of the Sea”. Feast Day is October 4th.
Pope Francis is Trump’s greatest critic of “The Wall” and the recent repeal of DACA. The American and Teutonic meanings of the name Francis are both "Free". In Spanish, "Francisco" means "Free One". 
Tres Picos - "Triangular or three-cornered”. The Holy Trinity. The Eye of Providence
San Mateo del Mar - “St. Matthew of the Sea”. Apostle, Evangelist authored the first Gospel of the Bible's New Testament, now known as the Gospel of Matthew. Feast Day is September 21st
Prior to preaching the Word of God, he worked as a tax collector in Capernaum. Matthew is the patron saint of tax collectors and accountants. The Feast of St. Matthew is annually celebrated on September 21...Rosh Hashanah 2017/5778. Per Rev. 4:7...the Wisest...the Human...the Angel. The Spanish and American meanings of Mateo are "God's Gift". The Hebrew Meaning of Matthew is "Gift of the Lord". Biblically, Matthew is: "Given; a reward". 
San Dionisio del Mar - St. "Pope Dionysius" Bishop of Alexandria, Egypt, called "the Great". Feast Day is July 27th, and a 6th Seal event in 2018, less identifying an earthquake that has yet to occur, as described in Revelation 6:12-13:
12 Then I watched while he broke open the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; [The Magnitude 9.5 Valdivia Earthquake on May 22, 1960] the sun turned as black as dark sackcloth [Jul. 13, 2018 - Partial Solar Eclipse] https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEdecade/SEdecade2011.html and the whole moon became like blood. [Jul. 27, 2018 - Total Lunar Eclipse] https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEdecade/LEdecade2011.html 13 The stars in the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs shaken loose from the tree in a strong wind. [Delta Aquarids Meteor Shower - Jul. 28, 29, 2018] http://www.seasky.org/astronomy/astronomy-calendar-2018.html The Delta Aquarids is an average shower that can produce up to 20 meteors per hour at its peak. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Aquarius (moon under her feet), but can appear anywhere in the sky. Delta is a triangle or trinity symbol (Tres Picos). Born in Alexandria, Dionysius had a vision and converted to Christianity. He entered a catechetical school and studied under Origen, whom he succeeded as master of the school. Bishop Heraclas named him to this position in 232. In 247, Dionysius was elected bishop of Alexandria. During the persecution of the Church in 249, Dionysius was arrested but rescued and taken to the Libyan desert. He returned to Alexandria but had to flee again in another persecution. Dionysius supported Pope St. Cornelius in his battle against Novatian. After his second exile, this time to Kephro in the Libyan desert, Dionysius returned to Alexandria to find plague and civil unrest. He comforted the plague victims and protected Christians. St. Athanasius called Dionysius "the Teacher of the Catholic Church." St. Basil surnamed him "the Great." Dionysius was a Greek who served as a priest in Rome. He was elected pope on July 22, 259, after a year's delay caused by the persecution. In 260, Dionysius defended the doctrine of the Holy Trinity against the heresy of Sabellianism*. He also condemned Paul of Samosata for heretical teaching. Dionysius sent large sums of money to Cappadocia, which had been ravaged by the Goths*. He rebuilt many areas after Emperor Gallienus issued an edict of toleration of Christians. Dionysius died in Rome, was the first pope not listed as a martyr, and was buried in the cemetery of Callistus. *Sabellianism - The Sabellians (also called Monarchians or Modalists) claimed that since there is only one God, there is only one Person in the Godhead. There are no personal relationships between the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The only distinguishing relationships were between God and man. The Trinity was not three Persons in one God, but three functional relationships with man. [This is the non-trinitarian views of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons)] *Goths - The Goths were an East Germanic people, two of whose branches, the Visigoths and the Ostrogoths, played an important role in the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the emergence of Medieval Europe. The Goths dominated a vast area, which at its peak under the Germanic king Ermanaric and his sub-king Athanaric possibly extended all the way from the Danube to the Don, and from the Black Sea to the Baltic Sea. The Goths spoke the Gothic language, one of the extinct Eastern Germanic languages, last spoken in Crimea in the 18th century by the Crimean Goths; the least-powerful, least-known, and almost paradoxically, the longest-lasting of the Gothic communities. [3rd Century A.D. Russians] Meanings of the name, Dionysius Greek Meaning: "God of wine". Latin Meaning: "Greek God of wine". Biblical Meaning: "Divinely touched". 
In “Trump World”, the message is one of hate in which we have the “leader of the free world” retweeting a guy who’s “handle” is “NY Times Sucks@Fuctupmind”. Hate for for the “Free and Fair” press. Hate for Secretary Hillary Clinton. Hate for anyone who he deems inferior.

From a mental health perspective, Trump seems to appreciate those who have a “@Fuctopmind" approach to societal norms. In his case, it’s much less about lacking political correctness and much more about 2 of the Personality Disorders, as described below in DSM - IV and 5. Reflecting back at 2 of my most recents blogs ... The Chain of Command - Follow The Money http://www.tribulation7.com/gods-fury---the-book/the-chain-of-command-follow-the-money God's Fury The Book - Full Decoding of The Book of Revelation http://www.tribulation7.com/gods-fury---the-book/gods-fury-the-book-full-decoding-of-the-book-of-revelation-it-is-done-now-it-is-time-to-write-the-book ...Trump’s behavior is “straight up psychopathy”, both anti-social and narcissistic, which is indicative of “biblical bad guys”, past, present and future. Past being Abimelech in Judges Chapter 9, whose “deplorable” career is a cautionary tale of royal ambition, and Roman emperor Caesar Nero, whose persecution and murderous deeds of 1st century Christians is the very basis of the number-of-the-beast 666 using gematria. In an interview with Charlie Rose, Stephen Bannon, Trump's former chief advisor said in the following exchange about illegal immigration: Bannon: The Catholic Church has been terrible about this. Rose: Okay. Bannon: The bishops have been terrible about this. By the way, you know why? You know why? Because unable to really – to – to – to come to grips with the problems in the church, they need illegal aliens, they need illegal aliens to fill the churches. That's – it's obvious on the face of it. That's what – the entire Catholic bishops condemn him. ... They have – they have an economic interest. They have an economic interest in unlimited immigration, unlimited illegal immigration. And as much as – Rose: Boy, that's a tough thing to say about your church. Bannon: As much as I respect Cardinal Dolan and the bishops on doctrine, this is not doctrine. This is not doctrine at all. I totally respect the pope and I totally respect the Catholic bishops and cardinals on doctrine. This is not about doctrine. This is about the sovereignty of a nation. And in that regard, they're just another guy with an opinion. My response, similar Cardinal Dolan's response, is my blog from July 3, 2013, titled "Immigration and What The Statue of Liberty Means To Me." Link below. http://www.tribulation7.com/blog/my-9th-blog-immigration-and-what-the-statue-of-liberty-means-to-me Like Abimelech, Trump was defeated by a woman in the election (based on popular vote) and was so humiliated that he forced his sword bearer to inflict the wound which was end his life. In this case, Trump’s sword bearer is former National Security advisor Michael Flynn. Flynn’s deception and collusion with the Russians, that Trump probably ordered, will be the final wound to end to President Trump’s political life. 
Present and Future
Dan. 8:23-25 - There shall arise a king, impudent, and skilled in intrigue. He shall be strong and powerful, bring about fearful ruin, and succeed in his undertaking. He shall destroy powerful peoples; his cunning shall be against the holy ones, his treacherous conduct shall succeed. He shall be proud of heart and destroy many by stealth. Mk. 13:14 - The Desolating Abomination - “When you see the desolating abomination standing where he should not (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the mountains, 2Thes.2:1-12 – The Lawless One - Let no one deceive you in any way. For unless the apostasy comes first and the lawless one is revealed [this has happened], the one doomed to perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god and object of worship, so as to seat himself in the temple of God,* claiming that he is a god—And now you know what is restraining [Jared Kushner], that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. But the one who restrains is to do so only for the present, until he is removed from the scene. [And then chaos ensues] And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord [Jesus] will kill with the breath of his mouth and render powerless by the manifestation of his coming, the one whose coming springs from the power of Satan in every mighty deed and in signs and wonders that lie, 10and in every wicked deceit for those who are perishing because they have not accepted the love of truth so that they may be saved. Therefore, God is sending them a deceiving power so that they may believe the lie, that all who have not believed the truth but have approved wrongdoing may be condemned. Rev. 6:8 – The Rider named Death - I looked, and there was a pale green horse. Its rider was named Death, and Hades accompanied him. They were given authority over a quarter of the earth, to kill with sword [war], famine [climate change], and plague [diminished healthcare], and by means of the beasts of the earth [fossil fuels]. Rev. 13:1-10 – The First Beast - I saw that one of its heads seemed to have been mortally wounded [release of the Access Hollywood tape], but this mortal wound was healed. Fascinated, the whole world followed after the beast. 4They worshiped the dragon (Satan) because it gave its authority to the beast; they also worshiped the beast and said, “Who can compare with the beast or who can fight against it?” 5 The beast was given a mouth uttering proud boasts and blasphemies, and it was given authority to act for forty-two months [3 1/2 years. The length of a Tribulation]. 
As Pope Francis said, "if we destroy Creation, Creation will destroy us".
We have just witnessed 4 major, extremely destructive, Category 4/5 hurricanes, Harvey, Irma, Jose and Maria, in the Atlantic basin which devastated parts, and in some cases all, of the following Caribbean islands: The Virgin Islands, Antigua, Barbuda, Dominica and now Puerto Rico. The name Maria meaning a "sea of bitterness" or "rebellion", in this case, Mother Nature's wrath. Maria's future path is uncertain. Hurricane Harvey formed as a tropical wave of off the coast of Africa on August 13th, then became a tropical storm on August 17th. It made landfall near Corpus Christi, TX as a Category 4 hurricane on August 25th, Harvey's center of circulation stalled over south Texas on Aug. 26 and then meandered slowly east into the Gulf of Mexico before making a final landfall near Cameron, Louisiana, on Aug. 30. Still a named storm 117 hours after landfall, Harvey was the longest a Texas landfalling hurricane remained a named storm after landfall on record, according to Colorado State University tropical scientist Dr. Phil Klotzbach. It recorded a 1,000 flood event from the Houston area through the Golden Triangle. A Noahic level flood. It shut down oil export operations at the Ports of Corpus Christi, Houston and Beaumont, just as I told the Twitter World it would. https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/tropical-storm-harvey-forecast-texas-louisiana-arkansas The meanings of the name Harvey are as follows: Teutonic Meaning: The name Harvey is a Teutonic baby name. In Teutonic the meaning of the name Harvey is: warrior. American Meaning: The name Harvey is an American baby name. In American the meaning of the name Harvey is: warrior. Celtic Meaning: The name Harvey is a Celtic baby name. In Celtic the meaning of the name Harvey is: Eager for battle. German Meaning: The name Harvey is a German baby name. In German the meaning of the name Harvey is: Soldier. English Meaning: The name Harvey is an English baby name. In English the meaning of the name Harvey is: Bitter. Eager for battle. French Meaning: The name Harvey is a French baby name. In French the meaning of the name Harvey is: From Celtic words for battle, strong, worthy, and ardent. Used commonly during the middle ages. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott doesn't believe in manmade Climate Change. Irma - Meaning "Whole, Immense, Universal", continued through the Florida Keys into the Gulf of Mexico, and traveled up the west side of the Florida Peninsula, impacting all of it. Florida Gov. Rick Scott doesn't believe in manmade Climate Change. He won't even let people in his administration, use the term. Biblically, the meaning of the name Jose is “Raised; who pardons”. In Spanish, “May God give increase”. Jose turned north and threw a little "Chin Music" at New York City; however, it's early path, after it left the Caribbean, was a direct strike. It is true...GOD DOES LIKE BASEBALL (from the movie "42"). Donald J. Trump doesn't believe in manmade Climate Change. 
I'm certainly not saying I AM THE ALMIGHTY GOD ... I AM HIS SENTINEL ... HIS WATCHER ... HIS MESSENGER.
And the Message is very clear people...manmade climate change is as REAL as it gets. Most of you will get to meet God one day and when He asked you; "Why you didn't BELIEVE THE TRUTH, and you respond that Donald Trump told us that it was a hoax created by the Chinese" ... "it won't be a SUFFICIENT REPLY". Flash back to Sep. 10, 2017… In Israel, it’s Elul 19, 5777…Today’s Old Testament Reading is from the Prophet Ezekiel, Chapter 33:7-9 but I’ll share verses 1 - 9. The Prophet as Sentinel. 1The word of the LORD came to me: 2Son of man, speak to your people and tell them: When I bring the sword against a land, if the people of that land select one of their number as a sentinel* for them, 3and the sentinel sees the sword coming against the land, he should blow the trumpet to warn the people. 4If they hear the trumpet but do not take the warning and a sword attacks and kills them, their blood will be on their own heads. 5They heard the trumpet blast but ignored the warning; their blood is on them. If they had heeded the warning, they could have escaped with their lives. 6If, however, the sentinel sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the sword attacks and takes someone’s life, his life will be taken for his own sin, but I will hold the sentinel responsible for his blood. 7 You, son of man—I have appointed you as a sentinel for the house of Israel; when you hear a word from my mouth, you must warn them for me. 8When I say to the wicked, “You wicked, you must die,” and you do not speak up to warn the wicked about their ways, they shall die in their sins, but I will hold you responsible for their blood. 9If, however, you warn the wicked to turn from their ways, but they do not, then they shall die in their sins, but you shall save your life. USCCB Footnotes: * [33:2] Sentinel: the theme of the sentinel’s duty initiates a new commission to announce salvation (chaps. 33–48), just as the same command (3:17–21) opened Ezekiel’s ministry to announce judgment (chaps. 3–24). During the period of Sep. 7-8, 2017. The Trinity of Katia, Irma and Jose are shown below with the meanings of their names. 
Gospel Reading from Sep. 7, 2017
Lk.5:1-11 The Call of Simon the Fisherman.* 1 While the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God, he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret. 2He saw two boats there alongside the lake; the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets. 3Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon [Peter, the 1st Pope of the Catholic Church], he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. 4 After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” 5Simon said in reply, “Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets.” 6When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing. 7They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come to help them. They came and filled both boats so that they were in danger of sinking. 8When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.” 9For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him, 10and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” 11When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything* and followed him. * [5:1–11] This incident has been transposed from his source, Mk 1:16–20, which places it immediately after Jesus makes his appearance in Galilee. By this transposition Luke uses this example of Simon’s acceptance of Jesus to counter the earlier rejection of him by his hometown people, and since several incidents dealing with Jesus’ power and authority have already been narrated, Luke creates a plausible context for the acceptance of Jesus by Simon and his partners. Many commentators have noted the similarity between the wondrous catch of fish reported here (Lk 4:4–9) and the post-resurrectional appearance of Jesus in Jn 21:1–11. There are traces in Luke’s story that the post-resurrectional context is the original one: in Lk 4:8 Simon addresses Jesus as Lord (a post-resurrectional title for Jesus—see Lk 24:34; Acts 2:36—that has been read back into the historical ministry of Jesus) and recognizes himself as a sinner (an appropriate recognition for one who has denied knowing Jesus—Lk 22:54–62). As used by Luke, the incident looks forward to Peter’s leadership in Luke—Acts (Lk 6:14; 9:20; 22:31–32; 24:34; Acts 1:15; 2:14–40; 10:11–18; 15:7–12) and symbolizes the future success of Peter as fisherman (Acts 2:41). * [5:11] They left everything: in Mk 1:16–20 and Mt 4:18–22 the fishermen who follow Jesus leave their nets and their father; in Luke, they leave everything (see also Lk 5:28; 12:33; 14:33; 18:22), an indication of Luke’s theme of complete detachment from material possessions.
My mind always drifts back to John Le Carre’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy where Jim Prideaux is talking to young schoolboy named Bill who has no friends. He refers to him as “the unpaid bill” and he must be a “good watcher”. I have plenty of unpaid bills, due to vindictive banks and my love for eschatological writing. But more importantly, I have a debt to God. I finally got a couple of banks to free up some money yesterday and paid a few “unpaid bills”; however, my 2013 Chevrolet Traverse, was repossessed on Wednesday in a direct attempt to keep me from Coming to California ... MY DESTINY. I’ll reconcile the rest of my debts next week.
Someone tried to poison my 19 year disabled son and me last night, at 5ive Steak restaurant at JFK Airport in Queens, NY, with tainted crushed red pepper on our 3 cheese pizza. My son immediately got violently ill. Unfortunately for the perpetrators, that's the 7th time since 2005 that someone's tried to poison me ... Guess what, I never get ill. You tried to hurt my child. You tried to hurt a disabled person. Don't waste your time asking God for forgiveness...you're "screwed". Those who practice sorcery and divination, particularly Haitian Vodou, Obeah, JuJu and Santeria, Just how foolish and twisted are you people? You make up signs as you go through your merry lives, even though God warned you against it. With your "crystal balls" and spells, you think you can control time and space, fully knowing you can't control what God has written. He warned you in Lev. 20:6-8, Dt.18:9-14, Is.2:6, Is.8:16-20, Jer.27:9-11, Jer.50:36, Micah 5:11, Rev.2:2-6,14-16 and Rev.22:14-15. I suggest you mend your wicked ways, or you too, will be "screwed". But understanding something, as I said above, I am trying to find forgiveness for the people who have wronged me ... the banks, the lawyers and particularly the woman who chairs my former employer; however, I've been in a "bad mood" for 14 long years, and trust me, you folks don't want to make it worse. I've finally found happiness which will last for the rest of my time on this earth, and trust me, you don't want to disrupt that. You all think you're GREATER THAN GOD with all of your money and possessions, which has only rotted your souls??? Trust me, He'll give you a "quick education" that your not. As I said before, my job in all of this is this: “The Sentinel”..."The Watcher"..."The Messenger" Trump’s job in all of this is “The Destroyer”. I must stop him, without ever raising a hand against him, nor advocating violence. When Wyatt Earp had finished bringing justice to the wicked and peace upon Tombstone, he reunited with a beautiful actress, who had "stolen his heart at first sight". He followed her to California and they lived happily ever after. Wish me luck, New York City. For those that don’t know me, here’s my calling card.

I AM ... I SAID by Neil Diamond L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time And the feeling is "lay back" Palm trees grow and rents are low But you know I keep thinkin' about Making my way back Well I'm New York City born and raised But nowadays I'm lost between two shores L.A.'s fine, but it ain't home New York's home But it ain't mine no more "I am"... I said To no one there And no one heard at all Not even the chair "I am"... I cried "I am"... said I And I am lost and I can't Even say why Leavin' me lonely still Did you ever read about a frog Who dreamed of bein' a king And then became one Well except for the names And a few other changes If you talk about me The story is the same one But I got an emptiness deep inside And I've tried But it won't let me go And I'm not a man who likes to swear But I never cared For the sound of being alone "I am"... I said To no one there And no one heard at all Not even the chair "I am"... I cried "I am"... said I And I am lost and I can't Even say why "I am"... I said "I am"... I cried "I am” As I write this, today is September 4, 2017…Labor Day. I get up every morning looking for a message in the Daily Catholic Missal Readings. Today’s reading are from 1 Thes 4:13-18, PS 96:1, 3, 4-5, 11-12, 13, and Lk 4:16-30. Key words and phrases from today’s message: Reading 1 1 Thes 4:13-18 For the Lord himself, with a word of command, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God, will come down from heaven. Thus we shall always be with the Lord. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Responsorial Psalm PS 96:1, 3, 4-5, 11-12, 13 The Lord comes to judge the earth. Reading 1 refers to The Rapture, which comes before God’s Judgment of the World, and which is derived from the Latin word Rapiemur meaning; "snatched up, carried off”. I watch very little TV…I don’t even own one. My son does and it stays in HIS room. I get all of my news via Sirius XM and from Main Stream Media outlets, via their websites and Twitter. Interestingly enough, the relationship between The Rapture and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (released in 1977) was discussed last night on the New York Times twitter site along with my response.   Sony re-released the movie on September 1st. Here's the trailer posted on the studio’s Youtube page. This is another clip titled “This Means Something” It piqued my interest so I watched it last night on Amazon Prime Video, for at least the 40th time. Sitting atop Devil’s Tower in Wyoming, Roy (Richard Dreyfuss) and Jillian (Melinda Dillon) look back and see 7 alien ships forming the shape of Ursa Major (Big Dipper) at 1:43:04 in the movie.    Then the appearance of 3 large alien ships, followed by 1 small red alien ship, in a triangular shape, attempt to communicate with Claude Lacombe (Francois Truffaut). The number seven in Judaism and Christianity represent totality or perfection. Three represents the Holy Trinity…God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit. In The Book of Revelation (Rev.1:16) it describes the “Son of Man”: In his right hand he held seven stars.* A sharp two-edged sword came out of his mouth, and his face shone like the sun at its brightest. The footnotes of the New American Bible explain the symbolism as follows: * [1:16] Seven stars: in the pagan world, Mithras and the Caesars were represented with seven stars in their right hand, symbolizing their universal dominion. A sharp two-edged sword: this refers to the word of God (cf. Eph 6:17; Heb 4:12) that will destroy unrepentant sinners; cf. Rev 2:16; 19:15; Wis 18:15; Is 11:4; 49:2. His face…brightest: this symbolizes the divine majesty of Christ; cf. Rev 10:1; 21:23; Jgs 5:31; Is 60:19; Mt 17:2. I take it a step further from Rev.22:1-2 1Then the angel showed me the river of life-giving water,* sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2down the middle of its street. On either side of the river grew the tree of life* that produces fruit twelve times a year, once each month; the leaves of the trees serve as medicine for the nations. The footnotes of the New American Bible explain the symbolism as follows: * [22:1, 17] Life-giving water: see note on Rev 7:17: For the Lamb who is in the center of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to springs of life-giving water,* and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” * [22:2] The tree of life: cf. Rev 22:14; see note on Rev 2:7. Fruit…medicine: cf. Ez 47:12. Is.41:10 Do not fear: I am with you; do not be anxious: I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. The Big and Little Dippers ... God and the Lamb ... 7 stars each ... His Victorious "Right Hand" - Christ ... the Life-Giving Water flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb ... get it? Regarding Devil’s Tower, if you read my blog The Chain of Command - Follow The Money, I focus on the “Rook" chess piece below. http://www.tribulation7.com/gods-fury---the-book/the-chain-of-command-follow-the-money The Gospel Reading Lk 4:16-30 The Rejection at Nazareth.* 16He came to Nazareth, where he had grown up, and went according to his custom* into the synagogue on the sabbath day. He stood up to read 17and was handed a scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where it was written: 18“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,* because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, 19and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.” 20Rolling up the scroll, he handed it back to the attendant and sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue looked intently at him. 21He said to them, “Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.”* 22And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. They also asked, “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” 23He said to them, “Surely you will quote me this proverb, ‘Physician, cure yourself,’ and say, ‘Do here in your native place the things that we heard were done in Capernaum.’”* 24And he said, “Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place. 25* Indeed, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah when the sky was closed for three and a half years [a Tribulation] and a severe famine spread over the entire land. 26* It was to none of these that Elijah was sent, but only to a widow in Zarephathp in the land of Sidon. 27Again, there were many lepers in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.”q 28When the people in the synagogue heard this, they were all filled with fury. 29They rose up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, to hurl him down headlong. 30But he passed through the midst of them and went away. The following USCCB footnotes to above Gospel Reading Lk 4:16-30, hopefully explain where I currently am in my life: * [4:16–30] Luke has transposed to the beginning of Jesus’ ministry an incident from his Marcan source, which situated it near the end of the Galilean ministry (Mk 6:1–6a). In doing so, Luke turns the initial admiration (Lk 4:22) and subsequent rejection of Jesus (Lk 4:28–29) into a foreshadowing of the whole future ministry of Jesus. Moreover, the rejection of Jesus in his own hometown hints at the greater rejection of him by Israel (Acts 13:46). * [4:16] According to his custom: Jesus’ practice of regularly attending synagogue is carried on by the early Christians’ practice of meeting in the temple (Acts 2:46; 3:1; 5:12). * [4:18] The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me: see note on Lk 3:21–22. As this incident develops, Jesus is portrayed as a prophet whose ministry is compared to that of the prophets Elijah and Elisha. Prophetic anointings are known in first-century Palestinian Judaism from the Qumran literature that speaks of prophets as God’s anointed ones. To bring glad tidings to the poor: more than any other gospel writer Luke is concerned with Jesus’ attitude toward the economically and socially poor (see Lk 6:20, 24; 12:16–21; 14:12–14; 16:19–26; 19:8). At times, the poor in Luke’s gospel are associated with the downtrodden, the oppressed and afflicted, the forgotten and the neglected (Lk 4:18; 6:20–22; 7:22; 14:12–14), and it is they who accept Jesus’ message of salvation. * [4:21] Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing: this sermon inaugurates the time of fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. Luke presents the ministry of Jesus as fulfilling Old Testament hopes and expectations (Lk 7:22); for Luke, even Jesus’ suffering, death, and resurrection are done in fulfillment of the scriptures (Lk 24:25–27, 44–46; Acts 3:18). * [4:23] The things that we heard were done in Capernaum: Luke’s source for this incident reveals an awareness of an earlier ministry of Jesus in Capernaum that Luke has not yet made use of because of his transposition of this Nazareth episode to the beginning of Jesus’ Galilean ministry. It is possible that by use of the future tense you will quote me…, Jesus is being portrayed as a prophet. * [4:25–26] The references to Elijah and Elisha serve several purposes in this episode: they emphasize Luke’s portrait of Jesus as a prophet like Elijah and Elisha; they help to explain why the initial admiration of the people turns to rejection; and they provide the scriptural justification for the future Christian mission to the Gentiles. * [4:26] A widow in Zarephath in the land of Sidon: like Naaman the Syrian in Lk 4:27, a non-Israelite becomes the object of the prophet’s ministry. The meaning of Close Encounters and the above writing, movie clips and illustrations is one man (NOT JARED KUSHNER) taken away from “Devil’s Tower” and delivered to the “City of Angels”. My life for the past 8 years have been a journey and the journey continues. I came to New York City with my oldest son John in June 2011 after living 50 years, mostly in the Greater Houston area. I came here with an open heart and an open mind. I now live in Brooklyn. I drive ride-share for Uber and Lyft and I’m a private contractor for 3 other ride-share services, as well as licensed to drive a yellow cab and a green taxi. I have a B.S. in Civil Engineering and I spent 25 years (30 when you add in the summers and Christmas Holidays I worked while attending college) mostly in the fossil-fuels energy business sectors and was laid off in June 2009 because the price of oil had dropped to about $30 per barrel the previous February. I also started “getting religion” both figuratively, as I began believing in climate change, and literally as got God back in my life…thank God for both. My love is Biblical writing, particularly Eschatological writing. It was is a Divine Prism that was placed in front of me in Dec. 2009, but instead of just seeing God’s spectral light, I see the darkness…I see “the monsters” and believe me, they aren’t hiding in the closet at night. One was on a presidential podium on Jan. 20, 2017 taking the oath of the highest office in our great Republic, while his wife held the Holy Bible where he placed his hand. I jokingly call myself a "Divine Mercenary”, able to destroy iniquity with God’s Word and never having to raise a hand against my opponent. (See Dan.8:25 and 2Thes.2:8). Do I think I’m The Messiah?...Nah, I’m too flawed. If you ask the Catholic Church, they'll tell you I’m “IMPERFECT”, because I’ve been married and divorced twice. I’m a Messenger of both "good news" and "bad news" and my focus for the rest of my time here on Earth is to mitigate the "bad news”. New York has “hardened” me. My language has grown much more “colorful” and I don’t get much pleasure out of life, except when I’m writing or during the typically 50 minutes of "sanctuary” I get when attending Catholic Mass. I go there looking for “a message” and I typically get one listening to either Timothy Cardinal Dolan, the Archbishop of New York or Msgr. Robert T. Ritchie. New Yorkers like to say “We Can Chew You Up & Spit You Out”. Christ said “Love Your Neighbor as Yourself”. When He passed through Samaria on His way to Jerusalem, he warned the Apostles of being unwelcome there. In the 3 Synoptic Gospels, he said some variation of; “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave from there. As you enter a house, wish it peace. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; if not, let your peace return to you. Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, leave there and shake the dust off your feet.” But along the way, He did meet a nice Samaritan Woman, who had faith in Him. New York City has a lot of GOOD PEOPLE and a lot PROUD PEOPLE. They should be proud of their city. On Sep. 11, 2001, Evil decided to get on 4 different planes, 2 destined for here, and many GOOD PEOPLE died and are still dying as a result of it. New York endured the attack, even with thousands of lives lost, and grew stronger, both physically in the presence of the world's top police force and fire department, and mentally in their will not to let the terrorism diminish their lives. Evil is losing that fight because good always prevails. When evil knocks you down, the best thing to say to it is “You may have won this round, but will you be around long enough to brag about it?” Pride can be a good thing and it can also be very destructive. In the end “the exalted will be humbled and the humbled will exalted”…that will be the legacy of President Donald J. Trump...He'll be humbled. I want to find Peace. I haven’t had it in over 15 years. I want to be able to write full time, publish my book God’s Fury, and then look daily through “God’s Prism” and convey my thoughts through my written words. I AM NOT AN EVANGELICAL PREACHER and have NO aspirations to be one. At best I’m a theologian and if asked to speak to a group, a very informal "lectern guy”. Through my prism, I see Donald Trump’s and Jared Kushner’s “footprints” in this town turning the “Big Apple” into a “rotten one” and this may not be the best place for me to accomplish my goals. I have no wish to be “wealthy", whatever “wealthy” is. There’s nothing wrong with being wealthy as long as your wealth is used properly…to help the poor, the weak, the elderly and the environment. I wrote about the downside of wealth in my blog God and Money in April 2014. http://www.tribulation7.com/blog/my-18th-blog-part-1-god-and-money It references St. Paul's 1st Letter to Timothy; 1Tim6:17-19 Right Use of Wealth.* 17Tell the rich in the present age not to be proud and not to rely on so uncertain a thing as wealth but rather on God, who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment. 18Tell them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, ready to share, 19thus accumulating as treasure a good foundation for the future, so as to win the life that is true life. USCCB FOOTNOTES: * [6:17–19] Timothy is directed to instruct the rich, advising them to make good use of their wealth by aiding the poor. Rather than “being rich", I would rather create a non-profit company to help the world, and live within my means. If you’re wearing a white robe standing in front of “the pearly gates” when you pass into the next life, you’ll look down and notice there are no pockets. I’ve been a millionaire twice: The first time was at age 42, but I wasn’t “wealthy", rather “morally bankrupt” and employed by a bunch of “white collar criminals”. When I pointed out their actions that I and my subordinates deemed to be unlawful (and at a minimum, unethical) they first tried to “buy me off” with stock options which I promptly handed back to them. When I saw they were pushing me out of their company, I left…but they didn’t. The second time was at age 49. It was 16 months after my parents had tragically died on October 4, 2007, 2 days after my 47th birthday. They were multimillionaires prior to the Great Recession and there was still a lot of money after the "Wall Street House of Cards" came tumbling down. There is still some money left today, mostly earmarked for the education of 2 of my children in Texas and a Special Needs Trust, for my 19 year old son John. Caring for an autistic person is not cheap. In 2014, Autism Speaks estimated it costs between 1.4 - 2.4 million dollars, depending on severity. In my case, as well as that of many others, much of that is a lost wages due the inability to have a normal 40 hour per week job and the emotional stress of caring for someone who can't care for themselves. It’s been expensive, but in my case, its been very rewarding. Watching a child that some gave up on, gain maturity and independence, despite the obstacles thrown in front us, has been the greatest blessing. When he completes high school in 2 years, he should be able to gain employment and live independently or with minimal supervision in group environment. My son humbled me when I most needed to be humbled. I’ve spent the last 8 years devoting my life to God and my 3 kids, particularly John. I have no regrets. An unknown author wrote a Letter to the Hebrews which said; Let your life be free from love of money but be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never forsake you or abandon you.” Thus we may say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper, [and] I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?” Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The above words are my solace that I’ve tried to do what is right. The bottom line is this...My message needs to be disseminated. Most of the Republican Party won’t like my message because of the “party loyalty” blinders they're now wearing. Wall Street won’t like the message because they’re flourishing off of a Donald Trump presidency. Those who say they are people of faith, yet support Donald Trump, won’t like the message because its one of condemnation. Of all people, they should know better and WHEN Donald Trump no longer has those hands touching him in prayer, he will be greatly diminished, at least psychologically. Some sin can't be "prayed away": "DEADLY SIN". St. John wrote in 1Jn5:16-17 16If anyone sees his brother sinning, if the sin is not deadly, he should pray to God and he will give him life. This is only for those whose sin is not deadly. There is such a thing as deadly sin, about which I do not say that you should pray. 17All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that is not deadly. * [5:13–21] As children of God we have confidence in prayer because of our intimate relationship with him (1 Jn 5:14–15). In love, we pray (1 Jn 5:16–17) for those who are in sin, but not in deadly sin (literally, “sin unto death”), probably referring to apostasy or activities brought on under the antichrist; cf. Mk 3:29; Heb 6:4–6; 10:26–31. I strongly feel my work in New York City is done. The last 3 years of Christ’s life (from A.D. 29 to A.D. 33), were spent spent ministering. From my blog God's Fury The Book - Full Decoding of The Book of Revelation, I created the below spreadsheet based on the following Scripture, which approximates the time from when The Tribulation starts until it ends. The start date in this case was Jan. 20, 1017. The time periods of the Tribulation vary in the Bible: 1230 days, 1260 days, 1290 days, 1335 days, 42 months (1278 days) or 3 1/2 years, which is the prevalent timeframe. Basically, when you see the “desolating abomination” (as St. Mark quoted Christ) "standing where he should not be”, there will be "a time, two times, and half a time”, or 3 1/2 years. until Judgment and the "end of these appalling things?” That’s the first narrative. http://www.tribulation7.com/gods-fury---the-book/gods-fury-the-book-full-decoding-of-the-book-of-revelation-it-is-done-now-it-is-time-to-write-the-book Book of Daniel * Chapter 7, v 25 * Chapter 8, vv 13-27 * Chapter 12, vv 1-12 Gospel According to St. Matthew * Chapter 24 vv 15-28 Gospel According to St. Mark * Chapter 13 vv 14-23, Book of Revelation * Chapter 11 vv 2-3 * Chapter 12 vv 6,14 * Chapter 13 v 5 The second narrative is from Daniel 8:23-25 and 2Thessalonians 2:1-12 where a “Lawless Impudent King” is DESTROYED WITH "THE TRUTH”. My job is to give some “divine guidance” to people willing to listen. http://www.tribulation7.com/gods-fury---the-book/the-chain-of-command-follow-the-money If these 3 events happen, go with narrative #1:
http://www.usccb.org/bible/revelation/9 http://www.usccb.org/bible/revelation/16  I need to get a writing grant and I need to tell this story. I need people to see what I see "prowling in the darkness” and how to conquer it with the Truth.
God Bless. Sincerely, Gary |
AuthorSomeone once criticized me on Pinterest about not reading enough. I read and write about good vs evil and right now, that's all I have time for. My favorite books are the Bible and anything written by John le Carre. Archives
