Fix What?

by admin

Krakatoa 1883

The final death toll from pyroclastic flows, volcanic bombs, and tsunamis was calculated to be a devastating 36,417.

San Fransisco 1906

In 1906 San Francisco was the ninth largest U.S. city with a population of 400,000, and over 225,000 were left homeless by the disaster. The death toll is uncertain. City officials estimated the casualties at 700 but more modern calculations say about 3,000 lost their lives.
Indonesia 2004
On the morning of December 26, 2004 a magnitude 9.3 earthquake struck off the Northwest coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The earthquake resulted from complex slip on the fault where the oceanic portion of the Indian Plate slides under Sumatra, part of the Eurasian Plate. The earthquake deformed the ocean floor, pushing the overlying water up into a tsunami wave. The tsunami wave devastated nearby areas where the wave may have been as high as 25 meters (80 feet) tall and killed nearly 300,000 people from nations in the region and tourists from around the world.
Myanmar 2008
 
Cyclone Nargis (JTWC designation: 01B, also known as Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Nargis), was a strong tropical cyclone that caused the worst natural disaster in the recorded history of Burma (officially known as Myanmar).The cyclone made landfall in the country on May 2, 2008, causing catastrophic destruction and at least 138,000 fatalities. The Labutta Township alonewas reported to have 80,000 dead, with about 10,000 more deaths in Bogale. There were around 55,000 people missing and many other deaths were found in other towns and areas, although the Burmese government’s official death toll may have been underreported, and there have been allegations that they stopped updating the death-toll after 138,000 to minimize political fallout. The feared ‘second wave’ of fatalities from disease and lack of relief efforts never materialized. Damage was estimated at over $10 billion (USD), which made it the most damaging cyclone ever recorded in this basin.
Lightning stats
According to US National Lightning Safety Institute, total global annual deaths due to lightning strike are around 400. However, local administration sources said thunderbolts in Bangladesh claimed lives of at least 102 persons in one year till date and injuring many others, while many incidents remained unreported.
 The World Health Organization keeps records of the thousands/millions that die yearly to disease/cancer.
  The world as we have known it since the time of recorded history is not the same world as the beginning of creation.
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. Acts 3:21
We must wait.
What are we waiting on, what is to be restored?
Read Genesis chapter 1 and 2 and consider this order of events.
God created all things and set them in order, following this, He created man in His own image and after His likeness and put him in the garden.
Consider a family having a baby. They add or change a room to be a nursery. They plan, they furnish, they prepare the room to receive the new life that will be coming into the family. They make sure that there is nothing in that room that could be a threat to the life or well being of that new life. Don’t you believe that our Heavenly Father would have done the same? The earth in the beginning was a gigantic nursery. All ready to support and nurture the new life that God created. There was nothing that would harm or threaten this new life. So, what happened?

From Eternal To Expiring

by admin

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion …. Genesis 1:26

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis 2:16-17

And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Genesis 6:3

Gospel: Good News

by admin

The good news is that Christ is risen!

1 Corinthians 15

1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Wondering where IXTYC came from ?

John 19 account

19And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

20This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

21Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

22Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

Jesus had many titles and was addressed in various ways. These eventually were collected together calling Jesus – Christ – God’s Son – Savior which abbreviates in Greek as IXTYC or fish (hence the symbol)
