The La Palma Cumbre Vieja Tsunami
Journal Of Events
PART 19
995) January 2, 2010 - 1028) December 12, 2010
Chris said the article was available online so I went to the computer to find and read it.
Here is a screen print of the Sky & Telescope article about it that I found. The actual PDF article
'The Great 2012 Scare' by E. C. Krupp is referenced here and can be downloaded from this page.
The Krupp article location is:
http://media.skyandtelescope.com/documents/Doomsday2012-lores.pdf
As you can see in the above article, the editors of Sky & Telescope and E. C. Krupp also believe that the
December 21, 2012 date is a hoax and are 100% certain nothing will happen on that date, and that anyone who
believes otherwise (the "doom-mongers") are "flat-out wrong."
Then I read E. C. Krupp's article... I thought it was a very good article in that he explained the Mayan Long Count calendar very well,
and discussed the views and theories of several authors such as McKenna, Arguelles, and Jenkins,
giving the reader a fair view of many of the possible scenarios. However, he does not believe anything
will happen on December 21, 2012 and I found his tone quite negative towards "the countless number of people"
who do. I wondered if he had ever heard of the '11:11 Phenomenon' and, if not, if that information would
affect his view-point in any way.
That afternoon I wrote a letter to Chris St. Clair in the Weather Network's comment section as I do not believe it is wise
to publicly declare and promote December 21, 2102 as a "hoax". I believe that people should be given all the information
and evidence, and allow them to decide for themselves. That is why I also believe that the '11:11 Phenomenon' should be
reported and discussed in the main-stream media as this information is being kept underground and is not being broadcast
to the general population. I believe that it is an important piece of evidence and that people should at least
be given the opportunity of being made aware of it. It might also result in a more accurate portrayal of just how many people
around the world are actually experiencing this phenomenon.
Disappointingly, after spending quite a lot of time on the letter, I hit 'Send' and it came back with an error message,
so I do not believe the letter even went through.
I hadn't really paid much attention to that event, until this morning when I turned on the news to CNN and heard
the words "Failure to Connect The Dots." That seemed to be the catch phrase on every news channel reporting
Obama's response the rest of the entire day. And when I heard the connection made to 9/11, that caught my attention even more.
It immediately made me think about how this incident could be a warning to humanity
(regarding December 21, 2012 @ 9:11 pm UT) for its "failure to connect the dots"...
One of my reader friends, Debbie, wrote to me commenting on my Eureka post and this Eureka earthquake. She opened
her letter with, "Juli, it is about to happen."
NOTE: 2 days later the catastrophic Haiti earthquake occurred.
Needless to say, I bought the book.
That afternoon when we got home, I started to read it.
Imagine my shock when, there on page 36, there was
a reference to my own website 'Seeing Is Believing'.
(From my Chapter 13 - 11:11.)
I was a bit surprised that the authors had not contacted me to let me know. If they had, I could have let them
know that my website was no longer hosted with AOL as AOL cancelled its web-hosting services on October 31 of
2008. (This book was published in 2009.)
But it was somewhat rewarding for me to read this as it was tangible proof that my work has actually helped to bring
11:11 to the attention of the world.
The last time I posted about this was EXACTLY 3 years ago on January 15, 2007 (post #514 in
Chapter 18 Part 9). Here is part of that post:
514) January 15, 2007 Seven Minutes To Midnight
Back on November 13, 2006 in post #460 I talked about an episode of the television show Heroes and posted two pictures of two of the "special" characters (heroes) who had "11" marks on their necks. Because there were two 11's, I entitled the post Heroes and 11:11. The episode was called Seven Minutes To Midnight.
I wondered why the episode was called Seven Minutes to Midnight and figured it had to be connected to the 11th Hour due to it's "Saving The World" premise. I tried for a few hours to synchronize my calculations of where we are now in the 11th Hour (with 11:00 equaling 1980 and 11:11 equaling December 21, 2012) (see my Chapter 13 - 11:11) to Seven Minutes to Midnight (11:53) and Midnight (12:00) but I couldn't see any correlation. I wasn't able to figure out how they came up with this time/title for the episode.
Today I got my question answered...
I was looking at a website and saw a link to this article which caught my attention:http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2007/1/12/212655.shtml?s=ic
Scientists to Move Doomsday Clock Forward
Friday, Jan. 12, 2007 9:26 p.m. EST
The keepers of the "Doomsday Clock" plan to move its hands forward next Wednesday to reflect what they call worsening nuclear and climate threats to the world. The symbolic clock, maintained by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, currently is set at seven minutes to midnight, with midnight marking global catastrophe.Ohhh... That's where they got the title from...
1. Birth of Jesus: September 11, 4 BC
From September 11, 4 BC to December 21, 2012 = 736067 days
So 12 hours = 736067 days
736067 / 12 = 61338.916667
So 1 hour = 61338.916667 days (rounded to 61339)
61338.916667 x 11 = 674728.08333
So 11:00 or The 11th Hour began 674728 days after the birth of Jesus
September 11, 4 BC + 674728 days = January 12, 1845
00:00 = September 11, 4 BC
11:00 = January 12, 1845
12:00 = December 21, 2012
From January 12, 1845 to December 21, 2012 is 61339 days
So from 11:00 to 12:00 is 61339 days
So 1 hour = 61339 days (as also calculated above)
So 60 minutes = 61339 days
Now working backwards to calculate:
11:59 - which is One Minute To Midnight
11:58 - Two Minutes To Midnight
11:57 - Three Minutes To Midnight
Etc...
Midnight
December 21, 2012
One Minute to Midnight
60 minutes = 61339 days
59 minutes = x days
x = 60316.7 = 60317 days
January 12, 1845 + 60317 days = March 5, 2010
2. January 1, 0001
From January 1, 0001 to December 21, 2012 = 734860 days
So 12 hours = 734860 days
734860 / 12 = 61238.33333
So 1 hour = 61238.33333 days (rounded to 61238)
61238.33333 x 11 = 673621.66666
So 11:00 or The 11th Hour began 673622 days after January 1, 0001
January 1, 0001 + 673622 days = April 24, 1845
00:00 = January 1, 0001
11:00 = April 24, 1845
12:00 = December 21, 2012
From April 24, 1845 to December 21, 2012 is 61238 days
So from 11:00 to 12:00 is 61238 days
So 1 hour = 61238 days (as also calculated above)
So 60 minutes = 61238 days
Now working backwards to calculate:
11:59 - which is One Minute To Midnight
11:58 - Two Minutes To Midnight
11:57 - Three Minutes To Midnight
Etc...
Midnight
December 21, 2012
One Minute to Midnight
60 minutes = 61238 days
59 minutes = x days
x = 60217.36666 = 60217 days
April 24, 1845 + 60217 days = March 7, 2010
Any connection to the recent earthquakes?
The magnitude of the destruction in Haiti is staggering. Today the confirmed death toll surpassed 111,000
but sadly, when all is said and done, it will be so much more than that.
What caught my eye was the 888 hours.
888 represents JESUS in gematria.
(See www.biblewheel.com/gr/GR_888.asp.)
I thought, "That is very interesting, but it is too general." I had only used the DAYS - I had not included
the exact TIMES of events, so I thought that there would be little chance that if I refined my calculation
to also include the times, that it would still work out to 888 hours.
If you read my Chapter 13 - 11:11
you will see that I believe the "End Time" will occur on December 21, 2012 at 11:11 pm Egypt time which is
9:11 pm Universal Time.
So... December 21, 2012 @ 9:11 pm UT - 1111 days = December 6, 2009 @ 9:11 pm UT
I then checked the exact time of the Haiti earthquake (see above post #1000) and found that it occurred
at 21:53:10 UT (which is 9:53:10 pm), so I entered that information in selection criteria:
Amazingly enough, it still worked out to 888 hours.
Because of this JESUS connection to the Haiti earthquake, I am going to include an observation
made by my reader friend, Debbie, who "sees" a great amount of symbolism - even more than I do.
The day of the Haiti earthquake, Debbie sent me an email in which she had made the following connections:
PORT-au-PRINCE:
Matthew 24:33
So, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.
James 5:9
Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged;
Behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.
Revelation 3:20
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
Debbie had written me that email the night of the Haiti earthquake on January 12, but I did not read it
until the next morning. I remember that immediately after reading her letter, I had gone to cnn.com
to read the current news on the earthquake and this was the latest update, which eerily echoed Debbie's
email that I had just read:
Perhaps we really are nearing the final minute countdown - ONE Minute to Midnight?
The program examined the prophesies that point to 2012 as the year the world will be annihilated.
"We will neither refute nor endorse these theories; merely present the evidence."
I was quite excited when, just minutes into the program, one of the speakers appeared on screen with her name
written below... Marie D. Jones. I recognized the name as being familiar and said, "Hey! Isn't that the woman
who wrote the book '11:11 - The Time Prompt Phenomenon' that I recently found in the bookstore
and who referenced my website 'Seeing Is Believing'? (See post #999.) I ran and got the book and,
sure enough, it was her.
It has been absolutely unbelievable to me that in all the programs I have seen of late on 2012, there has been
NO mention of the '11:11 Phenomenon' and to me, that is one of the most amazing and profound pieces of
evidence regarding 2012 that exists.
I wondered... Is this the program that is finally going to discuss - or at least mention - the 11:11?
Here we have an author who has written a book on 11:11 and its connection to 2012, and who is being interviewed
on a documentary-type program about 2012. Will she talk about it?
I watched the entire program with bated breath, but alas, no mention of 11:11. How disappointing.
What a missed opportunity...
This morning I looked up History Television on the Internet to see if this program was scheduled
to be on again. I found that this episode is available to watch online if you are interested. It can be found
here at www.history.ca. Click on 'Video'. Scroll down
until you see 'The Nostradamus Effect - Season 1' and click on 'Episode 4 - Extinction: 2012'.
If there is a connection, as evidence appears to confirm, it will be interesting to see what happens from now
until December 21, 2012 as solar activity is now on the increase:
Note:
1) TSUNAMI
2) The earthquake occurred at 3:34 am in Chile. This is very close to 3:33
and perhaps it was even beginning at 3:33.
(333 symbolizes JESUS... JESUS is the SON of God - symbolized by the SUN (Son/Sun). See all my "The Sun/Son of God Speaks To Earth" posts.)
3) The earthquake occurred on 2/27... pi (π) is 22/7... I was born on day 227 of the year (August 14, 1960).
4) The largest earthquake in the world (ever recorded) also occurred in Chile. It occurred in 1960. I was born in 1960.

Post #15175 - groups.yahoo.com/group/11-11/message/15175?threaded=1
Just a continuation of a couple of syncs I have previously posted on...
I was flipping channels last night and came to the movie Contact which had just begun. (I had a series of amazing Contact syncs last year which I posted: #11970/11985/11997.) I said to myself, "Ok. Why now again? What do you want me to see?"
Well, the only thing that really made an impression on me was during Ellie's interview before the selection committee when they asked her, "If you should meet these Vegans and were permitted only one question to ask of them. What would it be?" "Well I suppose it would be, how did you do it, how did you evolve, how did you survive this technological adolescence without destroying yourselves. That more than any other question is the one that I would personally like to have answered."
This was interesting to me because this is what my map of The Way is about. It is about the survival vs extinction of mankind/the world based on the direction we are walking (referring to choices and consequences). We are walking in the wrong direction, and the destination of this direction is our self-destruction. I believe that our technology has surpassed our mentality, and if we don't evolve our mentality - if we don't change The Way we think - we will destroy ourselves. It is inevitable - just a matter of time.
Another interesting sync relating to this was pointed out to me by someone else... Ellie's name is Ellie Arroway. Arrow/Way. My map of The Way consists of three paths (that we walk) or axes which are drawn by three arrows.
Anyway... what caught my eye in the movie this time was at the end of the movie as Ellie (Jodie Foster)
and Palmer (Matthew McConaughey) (another 'Palm' sync) are walking down the steps after leaving her meeting
with the Congressional Committee interrogating her on her journey to Vega (which many don't believe even occurred):
"OPEN OUR MINDS - OPEN OUR UNIVERSE"
This is one of my original diagrams drawn back in December 1998/January 1999 when I was first trying to explain my Theory
of 'The Mind' and how the 'OPEN Mind' is the key.
(See my Chapter 3.)
Notice my reference to the Open Mind and The Universe:
Another sync also happened during this congressional committee interrogation scene at the end of the movie...
A couple of weeks ago (September 10) I got an email saying that someone had made a comment on my
YouTube Slideshow Presentation.
Ok! Here is another amazing 11:11/1111 sync that just happened!
I just searched my emails to find the date that I received it and clicked on my
Slideshow Presentation link and it shows that my Slideshow has 1,111 views!
Now where was I? Oh yes. The comment...
The comment was:
Your video is logical, but drawing a map of mind (which is radically distinctive) is not as easy as plotting dot in a line.
Maybe it really is that simple... Maybe that is why it hasn't been able to be explained before - because those who have previously tried have believed it to be more complicated than it actually is and have therefore been unsuccessful? What I find amazing about this "simple" diagram/map is that not only does it explain The Mind, but so many other questions and mysteries that have eluded mankind. At least for me - and hopefully for some others too.
Confirmation? that my Theory and Diagram/Map are indeed correct?
The sun has been having a lot of activity - solar flares, CME's - recently. I am wondering if Sunspot 1111
will be active on September 29. This date is interesting to me for a couple of reasons... One is that, as discovered
by my friend Nate, 29 seems to be connected to "crash" and September 29 is 9/29 so 29 both forwards and backwards.
Another reason this date is of interest to me is because it is Hoshana Rabah on the Jewish Calendar.
(If you read my Chapter 16 you will find
more information on this.)
The beginning of the Jewish New Year (5771) - Rosh Hashanah - was September 8/9 this year.
10 days later was Yom Kippur. The 10 days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are known as the Days of Repentance
or the Days of Atonement,
and Yom Kippur is known as Judgment Day. The common greeting during this time is (translated),
"May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year." This is because one of the themes of these Days of Repentance
is the concept that God has books that He writes our names in, writing those who will live and who will die,
who will have a good life and who will not, for the next year.
These books are written on Rosh Hashanah but our actions (repentance, prayer, good deeds) during these Days of Repentance
can alter God's decree. On Yom Kippur, these books are sealed.
Although the verdict of God's judgment is sealed on Yom Kippur, I later learned this verdict is left open until the final
day of Sukkot - Hoshana Rabah (which this year occurs on September 29) giving men a "last chance" to atone for
their sins by seeking forgiveness and expressing faith and gratitude towards God.
I will be closely watching this date of September 29 to see if Sunspot 1111 has developed and what kind of activity
it generates to see if anything of notable significance happens that day (like a CME directed towards earth, or
an earthquake, or something of that nature).

As I took the pictures, I heard the newscaster say that it was 11:15 (Eastern Time - I think this
channel is out of Boston) so I immediately
wondered if it was possible that this first miner had been brought out at exactly 11:11.
So this morning I searched the Internet to see if I could find a timeline of when the miners had been
brought out. (When I turned on the television and searched the Internet this morning,
the 11th miner had just been brought out.)
Sure enough... 11:11
NOTE: Local time, it was 12:11 am, just as it was here in Halifax.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Chile
It was 12:11 am CLDT - Chile Daylight Time (UTC-3). After the second Saturday of October
(this year being October 9th - just a few days ago), Chile switches to Daylight Savings Time.
So Chile Standard Time (UTC-4) it was 11:11 pm CLT.
As I write this, the 15th miner has just been rescued without incident. So far, there is not much
information on the Internet
regarding a timeline of events - the above article was the ONLY one that came back in my search for the
11:11 rescue - but once all the miners have been rescued, I imagine there will be a timeline available online
of the times when all the miners came out of the shaft.
Also, as I am writing this, I am watching the event unfold on tv, and the newscaster is mentioning how
the word MIRACLE is being used a lot in this story.
There is a lot of symbolism connected to this story... 33 is a very signficant symbolic number as I have
talked about many times in this paper, with the major connecion being to Jesus who was 33 years old when he
was crucified and resurrected. There were 33 miners trapped, all believed dead for the first 17 days, now
all being resurrected, so to speak. Also, they were trapped for 69 days and 6 is 3 + 3 and 9
is 3 x 3. I also just read "it could be a 33-hour rescue operation" -
www.santiagotimes.cl/news/other/19967-first-miners-emerge-from-underground-in-chile.
The name of the capsule which is being used to rescue the miners is FENIX - PHOENIX - which
is also symbolic of resurrection with the mythological Phoenix rising from the ashes.
There is so much symbolism with this story... Another one relates to "Seeing The Light." With the miners
being trapped underground in the darkness, not seeing the sunlight for 69 days, being brought back to
the surface and being given sunglasses so as not to damage their sensitive eyes. They were in darkness,
now they "see the light" symbolism.
More symbolism...
Matthew 24:37
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
From the days of Creation to the beginning of The Flood was 1656 years.
69 days is 1656 hours.
"The Royal Navy's newest and largest attack submarine HMS Astute has run aground off Skye, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has confirmed.
Described as the stealthiest ever built in the UK, the £1bn boat was being put through sea trials and was not armed.
A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman said: "This is not a nuclear incident. "We are responding to the incident and can confirm that there are no injuries to personnel and the submarine remains watertight." The spokeswoman added: "There is no indication of any environmental impact."
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) was alerted to the incident at about 0819 BST." (Did it happen at 0814?)

7.5-magnitude quake strikes off Indonesian coast
By the CNN Wire Staff
October 25, 2010 5:24 p.m. EDT
(CNN) -- An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.5 struck off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, on Monday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. A local tsunami watch was issued briefly by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center after the quake struck at 9:42 p.m. It was lifted about two hours later. The quake's epicenter was located 240 km (149 miles) south of Padang at a depth of 33 km (20.5 miles), according to USGS. There are no immediate reports of damage or injuries. A magnitude 6.1 quake struck off the coast on the opposite side of Sumatra, the USGS reported, at about 2:37 a.m. Tuesday. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries from that quake as well, and there was no tsunami warning issued.

At least 112 dead, more than 500 missing after Indonesia quake
From Andy Saputra, CNN
October 26, 2010 8:20 p.m. EDT
Jakarta, Indonesia (CNN) -- Relief organizations struggled to reach those in need Tuesday, one day after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck off Sumatra, Indonesia, triggering a tsunami and killing at least 112 people, officials said. Another 502 were reported missing. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the quake generated a "significant" tsunami. Some of the missing may include people who are unaccounted for after fleeing to higher ground, said Henri Dori Satoko, head of the Mentawai Islands parliament. Although communication with remote areas was difficult, some witnesses in West Sumatra reported seeing a wave 6 meters (nearly 20 feet) high. Other reports described the tsunami as being about 3 meters (almost 10 feet) high.Satoko said at least one village with a population of about 200 people was swept away, with only 40 people recovered.

Padang, Indonesia (CNN) -- At least 311 people have died in a magnitude-7.7 earthquake off Indonesia and the subsequent tsunami, said the head of West Sumatra's disaster management agency Wednesday. Another 410 people are still missing, agency coordinator Ade Edward said.

October 2010 Sumatra earthquake
The October 2010 Sumatra earthquake was a magnitude 7.7 Mw earthquake, which occurred on 25 October 2010 off the western coast of Sumatra, Indonesia at 21:42 local time (14:42 UTC). The earthquake occurred on the same fault that produced the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. It was widely felt across the provinces of Bengkulu and West Sumatra and resulted in a substantial localized tsunami that struck the Mentawai Islands. Many villages on the islands were affected by the tsunami, which reached a height of 3m (9 ft) and swept as far as 600m (1800 ft) inland. The tsunami caused widespread destruction that displaced more than 20,000 people and affected about 4,000 households. Around 393 people were reported to have been killed, with hundreds more still missing. The subsequent relief effort was hampered by bad weather and the remoteness of the islands, which led to delays in the reporting of casualties.

Alternative time units
777 days can be converted to one of these units:
• 67,132,800 seconds
• 1,118,880 minutes (close to 1,118,888 minutes)
• 18,648 hours

NOTE:
Another calculation I tried put the date to November 4, which is interesting because 7 years ago - November 4, 2003 - was the date of the largest solar flare ever recorded. It was initially recorded as an X-28 but later upgraded to an X-45. This was a significant event, and I have found many amazing connections between this event and other events, all of which I have documented throughout this journal. (For example, from the date of Earth Impact on November 6, 2003 to December 21, 2012 is 3333 days.)

SPOCK: And if they’re real, Captain?
KIRK: We'll use this as a base. It's defensible. They can't approach without being seen.
LINCOLN: Are we fighting a defensive war, James?
KIRK: No, we don't have time. But if things go against us, I want a place to retreat to. What I want to do now is scout them out, find their weaknesses and attack.
LINCOLN: Do you drink whiskey?
KIRK: Occasionally. Why?
LINCOLN: Because you have qualities very much like those of another man I admire greatly. General Grant.
KIRK: Thank you. Thank you. Mister Spock, we'll need weapons. I believe the ancient Vulcans made something like a boomerang?
SPOCK: Yes, Captain.
KIRK: And slings and spears. Slings. Mister President. You used a sling as a boy.
LINCOLN: Indeed I did.
SPOCK: Captain. Logic dictates that we consider another course.
KIRK: We don't have much time, Spock.
SURAK: In my time on Vulcan, we also faced these same alternatives. We'd suffered devastating wars which nearly destroyed our planet. Another was about to begin. We were torn. But out of our suffering some of us found the discipline to act. We sent emissaries to our opponents to propose peace. The first were killed, but others followed. Ultimately we achieved peace, which has lasted since then.
KIRK: Circumstances were different then, Surak.
SURAK: The face of war has never changed, Captain. Surely it is more logical to heal than kill.
KIRK: I'm afraid that kind of logic doesn't apply here.
SURAK: That is precisely why we should not fight.
KIRK: My ship is at stake.
SURAK: I will not harm others, Captain.
SPOCK: His convictions are most profound in this matter, Captain.
KIRK: So are mine, Spock. If I believed that there was a peaceful way out of this
SURAK: The risk will be mine alone. If I fail, you lose nothing. After all, I'm no warrior.
SPOCK: The captain knows that I have fought at his side before and will do so now, if need be. However, I too, am a Vulcan, bred to peace. Let him attempt it.
KIRK: You saw how treacherously they acted.
SURAK: Oh, yes. But perhaps it's our belief in peace that is actually being tested.
KIRK: I have no authority over you. You may do as you think best.
SURAK: Thank you. May you live long and prosper.
KIRK: The weapons, gentlemen. In case he fails.
[Bad guy base]
KAHLESS: Colonel!
(They watch Surak approach. Zora makes to throw a spear)
GREEN: No. Let's hear what he has to say. We may find it useful. Stop there, Vulcan. State your purpose.
SURAK: I come in peace to propose peace.
GREEN: Are you surrendering?
SURAK I'm doing what I consider best for all of us. If you choose to regard that as surrender, I accept your definition.
KAHLESS: One of those peace lovers, Colonel.
GREEN: Why are you doing this? Do you speak for the others?
SURAK: No, I speak for myself because I abhor violence. But if you accept the solution I offer, they, too, will accept it.
[Bridge]
GREEN [on viewscreen]: How can I be sure? I think you’re trying to trick me, Vulcan. I think that while you're here talking peace, the others are preparing to attack.
SURAK [on viewscreen]: No, Colonel. They are at their base awaiting an answer.
[Bad guy base]
GREEN: How can I believe that? No one talks peace unless he's ready to back it up with war.
SURAK: He talks peace if it is the only way to live.
GREEN: Then tell me, what do you have to gain if we accept?
SURAK: Nothing but the knowledge that I have done what I believe in.
GREEN: What do I get out of it? I fight for gain, Vulcan. What do I gain here?
SURAK: Your life and the lives of the others. You said yourself, Colonel, that we have common cause - to survive. Together we can. But not by warring.
KAHLESS: Why don't we kill him?
GREEN: No. He's our means to finish them all.
(Kahless and Khan circle around)
SURAK: Colonel, surely you accept the logic of this. What is your answer?
GREEN: You're very persuasive, Vulcan. I'd like to come out of this with a whole skin. Perhaps I can convince my associates that it would be to their advantage also.
[Good guy base]
(Kirk, Spock and Lincoln are also sharpening sticks as spears)
KIRK: Your Surak is a brave man.
SURAK: Men of peace usually are, Captain. On Vulcan, he is revered as the father of our civilisation. The father image holds much meaning for us.
KIRK: You show emotion, Spock.
SPOCK: I deeply respect what he has accomplished.
KIRK: I hope he accomplishes something here, and soon.

I just got an email from my friend Debbie. It was a very interesting observation and it made me go back to
one of my previous posts which was related. After rereading that post, I did some checking
and found something interesting...
(As I am writing this, I am watching NASA tv online: www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/. NASA's Deep Impact probe close approach flyby Comet Hartley 2 has just happened. They are now interviewing Malcolm Hartley, the discoverer of the comet (how exciting for him to be there at NASA watching it all unfold first hand!), and we are awaiting the first images of the closest approach flyby... The medium resolution images are now starting to come in; the high resolution images take longer to process so will be coming in later...
(My grandfather's first name was Hartley.)
PORT-au-PRINCE:
- JESUS is known as the "PRINCE of Peace."
- In French, PORTE means "DOOR."
Matthew 24:33
So, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.
James 5:9
Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged;
Behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.
Revelation 3:20
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
In that Post #1004 I had made another connection to JESUS... Using timeanddate.com I had found
that using the date of December 6, 2009 - which I had believed was significant because it was 1111
days before December 21, 2012 - I had found that there were 888 hours between the time of the
Haiti earthquake and the time on December 21, 2012 that I believe is the "Appointed Time of The End."
(See my Chapter 13.)
JESUS is connected to 888 because the
the Greek word meaning "Jesus" has a gematria value of 888 (research online).
Today Debbie wrote me again regarding the Hurricane/Tropical Storm TOMAS which is due to hit Haiti
late tonight/early tomorrow - November 4/5 - still unrecovered from their earthquake disaster earlier this year,
and facing a recent outbreak of cholera.
edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/11/04/haiti.cholera
Port-Au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- A cholera outbreak in Haiti continues to spread to previously unaffected areas in rural communities, killing 442 people and hospitalizing 6,742 others, the Pan American Health Organization said Wednesday. Health authorities are concerned that the situation may worsen as Tropical Storm Tomas approaches the impoverished nation, still recovering from a devastating January earthquake that killed 250,000 people and left 1 million homeless. Tomas is projected to pass over Haiti on Friday.
"It's like saying, "I am at the door knocking and nobody is believing me... nobody is taking it seriously... nobody is repenting... I come I come... Be prepared to evacuate." The Storm comes for the doubters."
From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubting_Thomas:
Doubting Thomas is a term that is used to describe someone who will refuse to believe something without direct, physical, personal evidence; a skeptic.
ORIGIN
The term is based on a Biblical account of Thomas the Apostle, a disciple of Jesus who doubted Jesus' resurrection and demanded to feel Jesus' wounds before being convinced (John 20:24-29), although the Bible does not mention if actual contact took place. After seeing Jesus alive and being offered the opportunity to touch his wounds, according to the author of the Gospel of John, Thomas then professed his faith in Jesus. For this reason he is also called Thomas the Believer. The Biblical account then reports that Jesus said, "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed," suggesting that Jesus' preference was for faith over skepticism.
