More Than Coincidence

Nothing happens by coincidence.  As these end of days continue to unfold many will draw connections with what others label coincidence or even conspiracy theories.  Observing current events and connecting the dots has moved well past conspiracy theory.  A person would have to be living in a cave cut off from any information to think life on earth is business as usual.

The One World Trade Center is now open for business.  The tallest building in America . . .and it has the hype and presence of the Tower of Babel.

And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.  Genesis 11:4

Thirteen years after the 9/11 terrorist attack, the resurrected World Trade Center is again opening for business, marking an emotional milestone for both New Yorkers and the nation.

 “It was meant to be all things to all people,” says Christopher Ward, who helped manage the rebuilding as executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. “It was going to answer every question that it raised. . .”      I encourage you to click the Time link to read the FULL STORY

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.  a Proverb of Holy Scripture

The year of shemitah, although disregarded, ignored, or debated; has been proven to "reset" our economy.   
 There was a "Ground Blessing Service" for the St. Nicholas National Shrine on the Sabbath following Sukkot!  Shouldn't this instill fear in all of us . . . as in fear of YHWH?

Eye Opening

As the progress continues toward going off grid, a fairly sizeable initial investment was required.  I sincerely hope many will benefit from this endeavor.  In making the purchase, it was determined we'd use a credit card, for proof of purchase, date of purchase, etc.  I don't carry a balance, so there's no interest paid, and when it comes to major investments, I like a record.  I give all these details because I always encourage folks to get out of debt and stay out of debt.  If there is a temptation to use the card beyond what can be paid in the billing cycle, then please don't use one at all.   Aside from debt, I noticed something else that seemed rather ominous at the time of this recent purchase.

Mr. B and I went to the supply company to make this purchase.  It was a large warehouse with a huge counter surrounding rows and rows of electrical contractor supplies.  The building was old and the atmosphere was nostalgic; in memory of the old days of real customer service and American know-how.  Watching the contractors place their order at the counter and observing the operation took me back in time.  An older gentleman commented on the man behind the counter, telling all of us, "this guy knows his stuff!"

The nostalgia gave way to the 21st century as the order was entered into the computer.  When the gentleman asked for a phone number, immediately all the information about our previous purchase, became available.  I watched the man's face, considering his age; as he pulled together probably 35 years of his experience in this business.  Briefly I envisioned him as a young man with clip board in hand, organizing the stock and inventory, and wondered if he remembered the changes as they came.  He's now the man who feeds in the codes and sends the young men to fill the orders.

When the time came to pay the bill, I nearly had a spell.  The price was expected, and I'm aware that cards are now "swiped," but I hadn't seen this latest bit of technology.  There was no pen, no stick, no nothing, Mr. B simply wrote with his finger, on the screen to complete the transaction.  This is where I saw one more step in desensitizing the masses toward a mark of some sort on a right hand for buying . . .    

Famine and Pestilence

BEFORE It Was HEADLINES It Was PROPHECY will be returning for a new season in the next couple of weeks.  Meanwhile, I am led to share this information I have obtained directly from the community of Big Agriculture.  Other than an extra cold winter last year, the wheat harvest wasn't really exploited by the love of money, but the corn and bean harvest have been and will continue to be.

There is virtually no corn available that has not been genetically altered.  The heirloom corn crop was not great this year.  One variety in particular I know, was a warning of spiritual significance.  The stalks shot up quickly, reaching heights I'd never before seen in corn.  This corn salks grew every bit of eight feet tall.  There were many things wrong with it, though.  It got so tall, the stalk began to fall over from their own weight.  The plants never tasseled, so they never produced ears.  The biggest most vibrantly green corn stalks I've ever seen were barren.  The goats loved them, but there was no harvest of that particular corn.  Other heirloom varieties did all right, but this particular one was some sort of blue or indigo variety.

Moving right along to the Big Ag crops.  The hay cuttings were so numerous, and the corn harvest so bountiful, the barns are filled beyond capacity, with hay and corn still in the field.  A significant issue has arisen, however; with this abundant corn crop.  Rather than our Big Ag seeing it as abundance for the year of shemitah, the love of money has entered the equation.  The price of corn has dropped dramatically between the time of sowing and the time of harvest, and corn is about half the price it was, per bushel, last summer.  The solution?  Seed companies are raising the price of seeds and since the seeds are GMO, they are patented, so a farmer cannot plant from his own harvested crop.  We are already far behind ancient Egypt in managing our food supply.

Next, many farmers have actually determined to store their crop until the price goes up.  That is a two fold problem that could potentially multiply exponentially.   With corn being held for better prices, that means it will be in short supply for processing and animal feed, so the cost of food products containing corn may increase through the winter or until the price of a bushel of corn goes up.  Most of our processed food contains corn.  Corn syrup is used to sweeten a great many of the products on grocer's shelves.  So, if groceries go up, and the price of corn doesn't, that means farmers will still be storing their corn in buildings not designed for grain storage, so pestilence is sure to ensue.  I don't know if GMO corn will cause rats and raccoons any serious health problems, but those pests will find their way into the implement barns being used to house the extra grain.

This single situation could very well topple the house of cards we've built with our food supply and financial interests. The prophesied famine and pestilence, not to mention a day's wage for food could all very soon be affected by this year in which the purpose for the abundance is being ignored.
