Chile sends army against looters, deaths hit 708

February 28, 2010

By MICHAEL WARREN, Associated Press Writer Michael Warren, Associated Press Writer

CONCEPCION, Chile – Chile’s president sent the army to help police attack looting on Sunday and appealed for international help in the wake of an earthquake that shattered cities and killed at least 708 people.

President Michelle Bachelet announced the sharply higher new death toll after a six-hour meeting with aides and emergency officials struggling to cope with one of the most powerful earthquakes in centuries.

“We face a catastrophe of such unthinkable magnitude that it will require a giant effort” for Chile to recover, Bachelet told a news conference at the presidential palace, which itself suffered minor cracks in Saturday’s magnitude-8.8 quake.

She said

that a growing number of people were listed as missing and she signed a decree giving the military control over security in the province of Concepcion, where looters have pillaged supermarkets, gas stations, pharmacies and banks.

The president, who leaves office on March 11, also said the country would accept some of the offers of aid that have poured in from around the world.

She said the country needs field hospitals and temporary bridges, water purification plants and damage assessment experts — as well as rescuers to help relieve workers who have been laboring frantically for more than a day.

Officials earlier had said about 300 were known dead, with 500,000 homes severely damaged.

A tsunami caused by the quake that swept across the Pacific killed several people on a Chilean island and devastated other coastal communities near the epicenter, but caused little damage in other countries, after precautionary evacuations of hundreds of thousands of people. The tsunami warning was lifted a day after the earthquake.

Police said more than 100 people died in Concepcion, the largest city near the epicenter with more than 200,000 people. The university was among the buildings that caught fire around the city as gas and power lines snapped. Many streets were littered with rubble from edifices and inmates escaped from a nearby prison.

Police used water cannon and tear gas to scatter people who forced open the doors of the Lider supermarket in Concepcion, hauling away everything from diapers to dehydrated milk to a kitchen stove.

Across the Bio Bio River in San Pedro, others cleared out a shopping mall. A video store was set ablaze, two automatic teller machines were broken open, a bank was robbed and a supermarket emptied, its floor littered with mashed plums, scattered dog food and smashed liquor bottles.

The largest building damaged in Concepcion was a newly opened 15-story apartment that toppled backward, trapping an estimated 60 people inside apartments where the floors suddenly became vertical and the contents of every room slammed down onto rear walls.

“It fell at the moment the earthquake began,” said 4th Lt. Juan Schulmeyer of Concepcion’s 7th Firefighter Company, pointing to where the foundation collapsed. A full 24 hours later, only 16 people had been pulled out alive, and six bodies

had been recovered.

Rescuers heard a woman call out at 11 p.m. Saturday from what seemed like the 6th floor, but hours later they were making slow progress in reaching her. Rescuers were working with two power saws and an electric hammer on a generator, but their supply of gas was running out and it was taking them a frustrating hour and a half to cut each hole through the concrete.

“It’s very difficult working in the dark with aftershocks, and inside it’s complicated. The apartments are totally destroyed.

You have to work with great caution,” said Paulo Klein, who was leading a group of rescue specialists from Puerto Montt. They flew in on an air force plane with just the equipment they could carry. Heavy equipment was coming later along with 12 other rescuers.

The quake tore apart houses, bridges and highways, and Chileans near the epicenter were thrown from their beds by the force of the mega-quake, which was felt as far away as Sao Paulo in Brazil — 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) to the east.

The full extent of damage remained unclear. Ninety aftershocks of magnitude 5 or greater shuddered across the disaster prone Andean nation within 24 hours of the initial quake. One was nearly as powerful as Haiti’ s deva

stating Jan. 12 earthquake.

In the village of Reumen, a tractor trailer slammed into a dangling pedestrian overpass and 40 tons of concrete and steel crunched the truck, covering Chile’s main highway with smashed grapes, tomatoes and cucumbers — one of several overpasses toppled along the highway.

Truck driver Jaime Musso, 53, thought his truck was being buffeted by strong winds and by the time he saw the overpass hanging down over Highway 5 there was no chance of stopping, so he aimed for the spot where he thought he would cause the least damage and brought down the overpass onto his truck. He said he survived “by millimeters.”

As night fell Saturday, about a dozen men and children sat around a bonfire in the remains of their homes in Curico, a town 122 miles (196 kilometers) south of the capital, Santiago.

“We were sleeping when we felt the quake, very strongly.

I got up and went out the door. When I looked back my bed was covered in rubble,” said survivor Claudio Palma.

In the capital Santiago, 200 miles (325 kilometers) to the northeast of the epicenter, the national Fine Arts Museum was badly damaged and an apartment building’s two-story parking lot pancaked, smashing about 50 cars.

Santiago’s damaged airport managed to receive five flights on Sunday, though no outbound flights were possible. The subway also partially reopened.

Chile’s main seaport, in Valparaiso, was closed while damage was assessed. Two oil refineries shut down. The state-run Codelco, the world’s largest copper producer, halted work at two of its mines, but said it expected them to resume operations quickly.

The jolt set off a tsunami that swamped San Juan Bautista village on Robinson Crusoe Island off Chile, killing at least five people and leaving 11 missing, said Guillermo de la Masa, head of the government emergency bureau for the Valparaiso region.

On the mainland, several huge waves inundated part of the major port city of Talcahuano, near hard-hit Concepcion. A large boat was swept more than a block inland.

State television showed scenes of devastation in coastal towns, where houses were blasted away by water, leaving scraps of wood and metal — and complaints of homeless quake victims that officials had not yet brought water or food.

The surge of water raced across the Pacific, setting off alarm sirens in Hawaii, Polynesia and Tonga, but the tsunami waves proved small

and did little damage as they reached as far as Japan.

Robert Williams, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey, said the Chilean quake was hundreds of times more powerful than Haiti’s magnitude-7 quake, though it was deeper and cost far fewer lives.

The largest earthquake ever recorded struck the same area of Chile on May 22, 1960. The magnitude-9.5 quake killed 1,655 people and made 2 million homeless. Saturday’s quake matched a 1906 temblor off the Ecuadorean coast as the seventh-strongest ever recorded in the world.

Associated Press writers Roberto Candia in Talca, Chile, Eva Vergara in Curico, Chile, and Eduardo Gallardo in Santiago, Chile, contributed to this report.

PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 205

December 31, 2004

Will Tribulation Period Earthquakes Begin Soon?

Two very significant events occurred while I worked at the Federal Office building Office in downtown Kansas City, one in 1963 and one in 1964. I had just issued a severe weather warning box for something or other on November 22, 1963, and was back in the teletype room watching the high speed reports to see if active weather was starting to generate in the box.

But the machine I was reading suddenly stopped, which was unusual, and then someone at the transmitting station manually, and very slowly, typed in the hunt and peck system of non-professional typists, a chilling all caps message – “THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN SHOT.” In 1964, on March 28, in roughly the same manner, I was advised of the great tsunami producing earthquake in Alaska, and the effects of a tsunami flowing out from it in all directions from Prince Edward Sound. It was the first time I was ever actually cognizant of the effects an earthquake and its accompanying tsunami can produce on ocean coastal areas, and it was also the first time my interest in such phenomena was genuinely aroused. In fact, when I put together my first book, “Tectonic Chaos,” published by Diamond W. Graphics in Little Rock, Arkansas, I chose an engraving of the great tsunami of 1755, which swept in from the Atlantic on Portugal’s coastal port of Lisbon, as the book cover for it. In less than a day, the ancient city of Lisbon was completely destroyed by quakes, fire, and finally a wall of water, higher than a two-story building, that swept a half mile inland.

The first set of worldwide earthquake data I obtained, as I recollect, was published by the National Technical Information Service, U.S. Department of Commerce, Springfield, Virginia. I believe it was one of the first KGRD – 5 Reports but, whatever the case, one could see the growing number of reported earthquakes up to 1967. I began to have more interest in theology and geology than I did in meteorology, and many Scriptures in the Bible came to life for me spiritually in all the physical things God created. So, after I graduated from the Missionary Baptist Seminary and Arkansas Tech University, the many pieces of the puzzle actually came together, and I started to understand how the following Scriptures, and many others, fit together in the manner they will be fulfilled by God.

Daniel 12:4 – But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Revelation 6:14 – And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

Revelation 16:20 – And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

Luke 21:25,26 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Isaiah 29:6 – Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

I realized that what I had been taught from the Bible as a young man growing up under Missionary Baptist preachers in northern Arkansas was more likely to be correct than what many post atomic bomb preachers were teaching, which was that prophesied worldwide catastrophes would be fulfilled by man’s many weapons of mass destruction. I was taught that God would use the earth to fulfill his own prophecies by his own power through the release of natural disasters. You are now viewing the results of one in southeastern Asia. The estimated death toll of this tsunami has been revised so many times to a higher figure I shiver to think what the final toll of it and its disease aftermath may total. As I took post-graduate courses at ATU, and continued to learn the Physical Sciences of the earth on, below, and above it, it became apparent to me that a worldwide shifting of the tectonic plates would produce the exact phenomena described by the Old and New Testament prophets and writers. I visualize one or two tsunamis like the one in Southeast Asia occurring each month for the final 42 months of the tribulation period. I am convinced this earth will go into a shortened tectonic mountain building period, shortly before 2008, such as man has never experienced in his history.

Revelation 16:18-20 – And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. [20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

All the earthquakes in the book of Revelation are placed between the opening of the sixth seal in 6:12 and the pouring out of the seventh vial of wrath in 16:18. It is in this time period that the greatest geological upheaval and transformation of the tectonic plates, since God placed Adam on this earth, will occur. The following extract from Prophecy Update 182A, Tectonic Chaos Number 4 in our Prophecy Update Archives, concerns this geological upheaval. To view the many figures referenced below in Tectonic Chaos Number 4, click on “Birth Pangs” on our Menu, then click on “Birth Pang Figures,” then on the exposed individual diagrams to enlarge them.

Revelation 6:12 – And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (See Archives – Birth Pang 3)

This earthquake will trigger a chain reaction that spreads erratically on the tectonic plate borders of the earth to produce countless numbers of earthquakes for some three and one-half years across the surface of the entire planet. All mountains and islands are firmly impregnated into these massive plates, and ride along as passengers on their surface. By the end of the three and one-half years, every mountain peak, and the center of every island, will have a new set of latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates in microseconds. I know this to be true because Revelation 6:14 states that “every mountain and island were moved out of their places.” Furthermore, I believe the fantastic breakup along the shifting place borders will produce thousands of volcanic eruptions, which will fulfill the phenomenon “and the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together.” I believe the use of a Jewish scroll as a simile to show the gradual disappearance of the sun, moon, stars, and blue sky, is the perfect illustration of the effect volcanic smoke has on the appearance of the heavens as it builds up in the stratosphere. When the great volcano Krakatoa erupted in 1883 more than half of the island was destroyed and blown away in the explosion. The cloud over the volcano reached 17 miles into the air, and the volcanic dust from the eruption was carried completely around the world by the winds of the stratosphere – taking months to drift down to the earth’s surface. The microscopic volcanic particles in the earth’s atmosphere produced beautiful sunrises and sunsets throughout a large part of the world long after the eruption.

I am convinced that the shifting of the plates will generate the formation of long chains of volcanic eruptions, pictured in figure 10, along all the boundaries of figure 3. God, who made everything I have described to the point, has also created, around the entire earth, a great temperature inversion shroud in the lower section of the stratosphere, just above the tropopause. So any time there is a moderate to severe vertical volcanic eruption, smoke is forcefully injected through the tropopause, and then trapped beneath the temperature inversion of the stratosphere. There is virtually no moisture found above the tropopause, so the volcanic smoke particles take a long time to become heavy enough to fall earthward by condensation of water vapor on them, and smoke remains suspended in the lower section of the stratosphere for five to fifteen years. The winds, in the lower section of the stratosphere, do spread the volcanic smoke around the entire envelope of atmosphere that surrounds the earth over a two to four year period. Figure 11 portrays the great temperature inversion that exists through the stratosphere around the entire earth. As the smoke attempts to rise through this inversion it soon reaches a temperature near its own, and then begins to flatten out into a great shield of smoke, a shield that is then carried by upper level winds to produce an earth encompassing cloud in the lower stratosphere. Have you ever really looked at all the Old and New Testament prophecies that describe the appearance of the heavenly bodies during the last three and one-half years of the Tribulation Period? Let us now consider just a few of them, to see if we can correlate them with the increasing severity of their visual effect on the view of human eyes from start to finish.

Revelation 6:12 – And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

Joel 2:30,31 – And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

[31] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come.

Revelation 8:12 – And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

Joel 2:10 – The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

Matthew 24:29 – Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

How can this be? One prophet says you will not be able to see the sun, moon, and stars about one-third of the time, but another says you won’t be able to see them at all. These prophecies are fulfilled gradually over the last three and one-half years of the Tribulation Period, and the prophets have been given visions of their effects on the view of the heavenly bodies from the earth, at different times, during this period. Let us assume that the last three and on-half years of the Tribulation Period have begun, and a person is standing at point “X” on figure 12. This person could look up and see the sun, moon, or stars from this vantage point on the earth’s surface without obstruction. Now, let’s allow figure 12 to come alive, with the winds of the stratosphere moving the volcanic smoke clouds around the earth in patches. Within a few hours after you first made your unobstructed observation of the sun, moon, or stars, the thin leading edge of the volcanic cloud would begin to move between you and the heavenly bodies. If it were night, the moon would turn blood red. If it were day, the sun would be darkened. Within an hour or two the thicker part of the volcanic smoke shield would move over you, and the sun, moon, or stars would completely disappear from view. After a few more hours the back side of the cloud would move past, and you would once again be enjoying a clear space between volcanic cloud patches, such that the sun, moon, or stars would again be visible. This scenario would be repeated over and over again during the last three and one-half years of the Tribulation Period, but on a gradually worsening trend. You would not be able to see the sun, moon, or stars about one-third of the time – at times the moon would be blood red and the sun black as sackcloth of hair – and sometimes you could not see any of the heavenly bodies. All of this is exactly what the Old and New Testament prophets observed in their visions. These are a part of the “signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars” prophesied by Luke.

At this point it may seem I have been sidetracked from explaining “and the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together,” however, everything up to this point has been for that specific purpose. In Revelation 6:14, the word used for heaven is “ouranos,” and there are three of them: (1) The heaven where God dwells, (2) The heaven that makes up our atmosphere, and (3) The heaven were the sun, moon, stars, and o

ther heavenly bodies dwell, that is, the universe. It is the universe heaven to which John refers. The word translated “departed” is “apechoristhe,” which, in this case, simply means “was removed from view.” John is saying he saw what the Hebrews considered heaven (sun, moon, and stars) removed from his view. When a man departs, or is removed, he is no longer visible to the one from which he departed. He may “depart” quickly or slowly. He may remain in view for a long time before he does finally “depart” from view. John says that the heaven disappeared from his view, and then tells us the very slow manner in which it disappeared – “as a scroll when it is rolled together.” The reader of the scroll reads, then rolls, reads, then rolls, reads, then rolls, and continues this process until the writing departs from his view after the final page is read. On the last turning the two rollers come together, at which time the writing completely disappears from his view.

In figure 13 you can see the likeness of a Hebrew scroll. If, while you were reading the scroll, it was slowly rolled together, then it could be truly stated that the writing departed from your view, “as a scroll when it is rolled together.” In his vision John looked up into what the Hebrews considered the heavens and, as he watched, all the heavenly bodies slowly disappeared over a period of time. This is exactly what will occur during the period of time we identify as the last three and one-half years of the Tribulation Period. It will occur like the slow rolling together of a scroll, such that by the end of the Tribulation Period a continuous cloud band of smoke will completely engulf the earth in the lower section of the stratosphere. No one will be able to see the sun, moon, or stars through the thick shroud for about five months before the Battle of Armageddon. It is through the great stratospheric cloud, shown in figure 14, that the author believes the Lord shall return at the end of the Tribulation Period.

I had believed, ever since 1967, that at some point in time before 2008 Israel would be attacked from Syria and, when the attack occurred the great earthquake of Revelation 6:12 would rumble through the Jordan River Valley, and Israel would be driven into the Negev wilderness.

In the late seventies I thought the attack could occur as early as the late eighties or early nineties, but by the late eighties I realized things were moving much slower than I had anticipated in the seventies, and I knew it would occur after 2000. However, I still believed it would occur before 2008. In 2007 I took all the world events associated with prophecy fulfillment and increases in earthquakes & volcanic activity, and made what I am convinced will be my final guesstimate as to when activity associated with a final war and seismic activity will begin – I believe it will begin at some point in time between 2010 and 2015. Only God knows exactly when it will begin, but he does indicate He will let us see when it is ‘near’!

Thousands feared dead in Indonesian quake

October 2, 2009

PADANG — Rescue workers raced against time Thursday to assist victims of a huge earthquake on Indonesia’s Sumatra island where upwards of 1,000 people are feared dead and many more trapped in rubble.

The first flights laden with food, medicine and body bags began arriving in the devastated region on Sumatra island as another powerful quake struck further south, causing more injuries and sparking panic.

Wednesday afternoon’s 7.6-magnitude quake toppled buildings and led to fires in Padang city, home to nearly a million people on the coast of Sumatra, which was left largely without power and communications.

The official death toll hit 529 with 105 seriously injured, but those numbers are expected to soar as the full scale of the tragedy unfolds. Many districts remain closed to emergency services.

“Our prediction is that thousands have died,” health ministry crisis center head Rustam Pakaya said.

Rescue teams from the Indonesian army and health ministry descended on the city and surrounding towns to hunt for survivors in the twisted wreckage of collapsed buildings and homes, with work expected to go on into the night.

In pouring rain that hampered rescue work early in the day, overwhelmed police and soldiers clawed through the tangled remains of schools, hotels and the city’s main M. Djamil hospital.

Padang, which lies between the Indian Ocean and the Bukit Barisan mountains, was a chaotic scene of traffic jams and rubble set against the constant din of sirens as ambulances tried to negotiate the gridlock.

At the M. Djamil hospital, a constant stream of injured residents were dropped off at hastily erected tents where doctors worked frantically to treat victims.

Emilzon, a medic who gave only one name, said they were treating hundreds of people for broken bones, head injuries and trauma, many of whom were car crash victims.

“We are running out of doctors and nurses because we are overwhelmed with patients,” he said.

In front of a collapsed school, 49-year-old mother Andriana waited in tears as police picked through the rubble for her 14-year-old daughter and dozens of other children believed trapped inside.

A series of earthquakes in recent years, including one of magnitude 8.2 that struck Bengkulu province in September 2007 and another off Aceh that triggered the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004, have released energy along the faultline.

“West Sumatra is like a supermarket for geological disasters. There are active volcanoes, landslides, land quakes caused by faults,” Geological Disaster Mitigation and Volcanology Center head Surono told Agence France Presse by phone.

Dozens of aftershocks followed Wednesday’s quake, including a major one Thursday which the US Geological Survey measured at 6.8 and said struck on land 225 km southeast of Padang.

The Indonesian earthquakes followed a massive 8.0-magnitude tremor that spawned a deadly tsunami in the Samoan islands of the South Pacific.

Both disaster zones sit on the volatile “Ring of Fire,” an arc of seismic instability around the Pacific rim.

The official death toll hit 529 with 105 seriously injured, but those numbers are expected to soar as the full scale of the tragedy unfolds. Many districts remain closed to emergency services.

“Our prediction is that thousands have died,” health ministry crisis center head Rustam Pakaya said.

The quake struck on Wednesday off Sumatra’s west coast, 47 km northwest of Padang on a major faultline that scientists have long warned was set to release pent up energy.

The Indonesian earthquakes followed a massive 8.0-magnitude tremor that spawned a deadly tsunami in the Samoan islands of the South Pacific.

Meanwhile, Philippine Ambassador to Indonesia Vidal Querol said no Filipinos were reported killed or injured in the huge earthquake that struck Indonesia,

The Filipino community leaders in Indonesia reported zero Filipino casualties, he told a radio interview.

Among the Filipinos staying and working in Indonesia, only those in Aceh are likely to have felt the 7.6 magnitude quake, Querol said.

1.5 Million Displaced After Chile Quake

By ALEXEI BARRIONUENO and LIZ ROBBINS

RIO DE JANEIRO — A strong aftershock struck Chile on Sunday, a day after a destructive 8.8-magnitude earthquake left hundreds of people dead and a long swath of the country in smoky rubble.

The death toll was expected to rise, particularly around Concepción, Chile’s second-largest metropolitan area, which is roughly 70 miles from the quake’s center. The aftershock was reported around 8:30 local time Sunday morning from the capital of Santiago, where it shook buildings, according to Reuters.

More than 1.5 million people have displaced by the quake, according to local news services that quoted the director of Chile’s emergency management office. In Concepción, which appeared to be especially hard hit, the mayor said Sunday morning that 100 people were trapped under the rubble of a building that had collapsed, according to Reuters.

Elsewhere in Concepción, cars lay mangled and upended on streets littered with telephone wires and power cables. A new 14-story apartment building fell, while an older, biochemical lab at the University of Concepción caught fire.

In the nearby port of Talcahuano, a giant wave flooded the main square before receding and leaving behind a large fishing boat on the city streets.

“It was terrible, terrible,” said Adela Galaz, a 59-year-old cosmetologist who said glasses and paintings fell to the floor of her 22nd-floor apartment in Santiago, 200 miles from the quake’s center. “We are grateful to be alive.”

President Michelle Bachelet, speaking at a news conference on Saturday night, called the quake “one of the worst tragedies in the last 50 years” and declared a “state of catastrophe.”

While this earthquake was far stronger than the 7.0-magnitude one that ravaged Haiti six weeks ago, the damage and death toll in Chile are likely to be far less extensive, in part because of strict building codes put in place after devastating earthquakes.

The quake Saturday, tied for the fifth largest in the world since 1900, set off tsunami waves that swamped some nearby islands before moving across the Pacific. Hawaii began evacuations before dawn, but by early afternoon there — more than 15 hours after the earthquake first struck 6,500 miles away — the fears of a destructive wave had passed. Countries including Japan and the Philippines were on alert and ordered limited evacuations in anticipation of waves hitting Sunday.

Chileans were only just beginning to grapple with the devastation before them, even as more than two dozen significant aftershocks struck the country.

In Santiago, the capital, residents reported having been terrified as the city shook for about 90 seconds.

Some people ran screaming from their downtown apartments, while car alarms and sirens wailed during the middle of the night. At least one apartment building collapsed, according to local media, and one highway buckled, flipping cars.

“We are in panic because it has been trembling all day,” said Cecilia Vial, 65, an interior decorator in Santiago, who dashed out of her apartment only to return at night because she had nowhere else to go.

“We cannot go against nature,” she said. “This is something that nature did.”

Paul E. Simons, the United States ambassador to Chile, said in a telephone interview from Santiago that people he spoke with at the embassy said those 90 seconds “felt like five minutes.” He added: “It was definitely an emotional experience.”

Mr. Simons said that although the United States had offered aid, Chile’ s government had not yet reque

sted assistance. All international relief groups were on standby, and the International Federation of Red Crosses and Red Crescents said the Chilean Red Cross indicated that it did not need external assistance at this point.

Although there were long lines at supermarkets and gas stations, and damaged buildings and roads, the capital city, according to residents there, was mostly calm by the late afternoon Saturday. But the scene was grimmer in Concepción and surrounding areas to the south.

In Talca, 167 miles south of Santiago, almost every home in the center of the city was severely damaged, and on Saturday night, people slept on the streets in the balmy night air near fires built with wood from destroyed homes. All but two of the local hospital’s 13 wings were in ruins, said Claudio Martínez, a doctor at the hospital. “We’re only keeping the people in danger of dying,” he said.

Dr. Martínez said the hospital staff had tried to take some people to Santiago for treatment in the morning, but the roads were blocked at the time.

Eduardo Martínez, 57, a local resident, said many people on his street had died and that he and his five brothers all lost their homes.

In Chillán, 69 miles from Concepción, a crumbling wall allowed 300 prisoners to escape and incite a riot, according to La Tercera, the nation’s largest newspaper. The police captured 60 inmates, but more than 200 were still at large, the newspaper reported on its Web site. With major highways and bridges destroyed, and slabs of concrete jabbing diagonally into the air, transportation slowed or was halted altogether.

Major seaports and airports, including the main airport in Santiago, were out of operation across the central region, Chilean officials said. TV Chile reported that part of the ceiling at the airport had collapsed, but that runways appeared intact. Cellphone and Internet service was sporadic throughout the country, considered one of the most wired in Latin America, complicating rescue efforts.

On Robinson Crusoe, one of the coastal islands hit by early waves, authorities said at least four people had been killed.

President Obama spoke briefly outside the White House on Saturday afternoon, expressing concern for the country and saying the United States would offer aid in rescue and recovery efforts.

“Early indications are that hundreds of lives have been lost in Chile and the damage has been severe,” Mr. Obama said.

He told Mrs. Bachelet that the United States was ready to help if needed. “We will be there for her should the Chilean people need assistance,” he said

State Department officials said that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who had been planning a trip to South America beginning on Monday, was also contacting Mrs. Bachelet, with whom she has long had warm personal relations.

Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations secretary general, also offered his condolences, as well as longer-term aid should Chilean officials signal the need for it.

The earthquake struck at 3:34 a.m. in central Chile, centered roughly 200 miles southwest of Santiago at a depth of 22 miles, the United States Geological Survey reported.

The Geological Survey said that another earthquake on Saturday, a 6.3-magnitude quake in northern Argentina, was unrelated.

In Salta, Argentina, an 8-year-old boy was killed and two of his friends were injured when a wall collapsed, The Associated Press reported.

The most powerful earthquake ever recorded was also in Chile: a 9.5-magnitude quake struck in the spring of 1960 that struck near Concepción and set off a series of deadly tsunamis that killed people as far away as Hawaii and Japan.

But that earthquake, which killed nearly 2,000 people and left more than two million homeless at the time, prepared officials and residents in the region for future devastating effects.

Shortly after a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck in Valparaíso in 1985, the country established strict building codes, according to Andre Filiatrault, the director of the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research at the University at Buffalo.

“There is a lot of reinforced concrete in Chile, which is normal in Latin America,” Professor Filiatrault said. “The only issue in this, like any earthquakes, are the older buildings and residential construction that might not have been designed according to these codes.”

This was in direct contrast to Haiti, which was unprepared for the Jan. 12 earthquake, Professor Filiatrault added.

“If you are considering this magnitude is 8.8, I would be very surprised if the death tolls come close,” Professor Filiatrault said.

Alexei Barrionuevo reported from Rio de Janeiro, and Liz Robbins from New York.

Tribulation Period Tsunamis and the Earth’s Isostasy Problem!

For quite a while the word “isostasy” did not appear in dictionaries because it was geological jargon that only a geologist would use among associates in the discipline. My computer spelling check system still puts a red line under it to let me know it does not exist. During the tsunami catastrophe one of the many pastors that called me heard me use “isostasy” in our conversation, so I defined it for him, but advised him he would not find it in any dictionary. Just to make sure I checked in a new dictionary, “The New Merriam-Webster Dictionary,” and lo and behold, there it was big as life. It gave the following definition: “A general equilibrium in the earth’s crust maintained by the gravity induced flow of deep rock.” I first heard the word used in a Physical Geology class I had at Arkansas Tech University in the seventies and, by the time I had graduated and taken post graduate geological courses, I became convinced that many prophetically directed Bible verses indicated the isostasy of the earth was going to be put in a state of equilibrium confusion by the weight shifting of water and land through earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis, which would be occurring like never before during the latter portion of the tribulation period. You will find ample evidence of this in my last book, “Birth Pangs from the Bottomless Pit,” and on this Web Site in the last three Prophecy Updates in our Archives, which will refer you to many others in our Birth Pang and Prophecy Update Archives. I have been teaching this for 30 years, and my last book was written more than 20 years ago, so I am not a Johnnie-come-lately, who has suddenly decided to use the tsunami to bring a new idea to the prophetic stew of our age.

I have taught in “Tectonic Chaos,” “Tribulation Triad,” “The Bottomless Pit,” and “Birth Pangs from the Bottomless Pit” that, according to Scripture, the great tribulation period was going to be dominated by great earthquakes and humongous volcanic eruptions along the thousands of miles of tectonic plate boundaries, and tsunamis that would rake the coastlines of all nations. I am certain the horrific events described vividly by all the prophets from Amos, Joel, and Isaiah in the Old Testament to John’s closing book of Revelation in the New Testament, are visions of geologically generated phenomena. I am also certain that God, not man with his weapons of mass destruction, will produce the bulk of the destruction by his own power released through his own creation, the earth itself. The Scriptures which follow are just

a few of the many exposited on in all my books.

Matthew 24:21,22 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Daniel 12:1 – And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, EVERY ONE that shall be FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK.

Malachi 3:16 to 4:3 – Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and A BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE WAS WRITTEN before him FOR THEM that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. [17] And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

[18] Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. [1] For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. [2] But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. [3] And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.

Luke 21:25-28 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. [27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

My great comfort in all this is found in Paul’s letter to the church at Ephesus concerning redemption.

Ephesians 4:30 – And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Ashamedly, I confess that the number of times I have grieved him since I was born again 60 years ago may be approaching a million, and the number of times I have confessed my sins is in the same ballpark.

blaxsig roxithromycin

I John 1:8,9 – If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

But in spite of what a wretched man I am in the flesh, I rejoice continually because I know I will be delivered from this body of death when my sealed soul leaves it, since it has been eternally passed from death to life by a one time sacrifice of Jesus, saved to the uttermost by his grace and, additionally, I also have the promise that even this old sinful fleshly nature that daily plagues me, will also be changed at the first resurrection. Paul asks a question in verse 24 below, and then answers in for us in verse 25, for which I thank God, and rejoice daily it is the truth of God in Christ Jesus.

Romans 7:14,23-25 – For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. [23] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. [24] O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? [25] I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

John 5:24 – Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, HATH everlasting life, and SHALL NOT come into condemnation; but IS PASSED from death unto life.

Hebrews 7:24,25 – But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

[25] Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God BY him, SEEING he EVER liveth to make intercession for them.

I Corinthians 15:50-52 – Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. [51] Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Hours of Death and Devastation

30 September 2009, 10:56 PM

AN undersea quake churned up towering tsunamis in the Pacific, powerful tremors shook Indonesia, while Typhoon Ketsana cut a fierce swathe into Cambodia in long hours of death and destruction across the world.

Tsunamis slammed into the Samoan islands on Tuesday, killing at least 113 people, as they wiped out entire villages and flattened tourist resorts, AFP reports from Samoan capital Apia.

Monster waves that witnesses and officials said measured between three and 7.5 metres high pounded the remote Pacific islands of Samoa and Western Samoa after an 8.0-magnitude undersea quake struck in the early morn

ing.

The tsunamis swept across the Pacific, battering Samoa where hospital workers said it killed at least 84 people, American Samoa

where it felled 22, and Tonga, where at least seven people died.

Officials in American Samoa, about 100 kilometers from Samoa, said the death toll of 22 was expected to climb. “It could take a week or so before we know the full extent,” Michael Sala, Homeland Security director in American Samoa.

While the quake toppled buildings and sent thousands fleeing to high ground as the tsunami approached, many others were hit by the walls of water that swept people and cars out to sea and obliterated coastal settlements.

As Australia, New Zealand and the United States led with immediate pledges of assistance, scores more people were missing feared dead in the chaos and despair that the twin disaster left in its wake.

Later, a powerful earthquake struck off the city of Padang on Indonesia’s Sumatra island on Wednesday, killing at least 78 people and trapping thousands under rubble, Reuters reports from Padang.

At least 78 people had been killed and “thousands of people are trapped in the rubble of buildings” in the city of 900,000 people, Rustam Pakaya, head of the health ministry’s disaster centre in Jakarta, said.

The 7.6 magnitude quake was felt around the region, with some high-rise buildings in Singapore, 440 km to the northeast, evacuating staff. Office buildings also shook in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur.

Padang, the capital of Indonesia’s West Sumatra province, sits on one of the world’s most active fault lines along the “Ring of Fire” where the Indo-Australia plate grinds against the Eurasia plate to create regular tremors and sometimes quakes.

Meanwhile, Typhoon Ketsana has killed at least 11 people in northeastern and central Cambodia, police and government officials said on Wednesday, after the storm left another 55 dead in Vietnam, AFP reports from Phnom Penh.

“At least nine people were crushed last night when their houses fell down,” said Chea Cheat of the Red Cross office in central Kampong Thom province. Two died in overnight storms in northeast Cambodia and 35 injured in the central region, officials said.

Officials added that at least 100 houses in the province were completely destroyed and over 400 others were damaged Tuesday amid rain and floods.

The storm packed winds of up to 145 kilometres per hour when it hit central Cambodia Tuesday evening, said Ly Thuch, deputy chief of the National Committee for Disaster Management.

Seth Vannareth, director of Cambodia’s meteorology department, said as the storm moved towards capital Laos, “It will not be very strong anymore.”

HOI AN (VIETNAM): Typhoon Ketsana extended its destructive rampage through Southeast Asia on Wednesday, blowing away whole villages in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos as the regional death toll rose to 331.

Ketsana killed 246 people in the Philippines while still a weaker tropical storm, before strengthening over the South China Sea and smashing into Vietnam on Tuesday, leaving another 74 dead from flooding and landslides. It moved inland to lash Cambodia overnight, killing 11 more people, and caused meter-high floods in Laos on Wednesday.

Huge quake hits Chile, causing vast damage; tsunami threatens nations across Pacific

EVA VERGARA, ROBERTO CANDIA

Associated Press Writer

1:42 PM CST, February 27, 2010

TALCA, Chile (AP) — One of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck Chile on Saturday, toppling homes, collapsing bridges and plunging trucks into

and ventolin for

the fractured earth. A tsunami threatened every nation around the Pacific Ocean — roughly a quarter of the globe.

Chileans near the epicenter were tossed about by the magnitude-8.8 quake as if shaken by a giant. At least 147 people were killed, according to Carmen Fernandez, director of the National Emergency Agency.

The quake shook buildings in Argentina’s capital of Buenos Aires, and was felt as far away as Sao Paulo in Brazil — 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) to the east. About 13 million people live in the area where shaking was strong to severe, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

In Talca, just 65 miles (105 kilometers) from the epicenter, furniture toppled as the earth shook for more than a minute in something akin to major airplane turbulence. The historic center of town largely collapsed, but most of the buildings of adobe mud and straw were businesses that were not inhabited during the 3:34 a.m. (1:34 a.m. EST, 0634 GMT) quake.

Neighbors pulled at least five people from the rubble while emergency workers, themselves disoriented, asked for information from reporters.

Collapsed roads and bridges complicated north-south travel in the narrow Andean nation. Electricity, water and phone lines were cut to many areas — meaning there was no word of death or damage from many outlying areas.

In the Chilean capital of Santiago, 200 miles (325 kilometers) northeast of the epicenter, a car dangled from a collapsed overpass, the national Fine Arts Museum was badly damaged and an apartment building’s two-story parking lot pancaked, smashing about 50 cars whose alarms rang incessantly.

The jolt set off a tsunami that swamped a village on an island off Chile, then raced across the Pacific, setting off alarm sirens in Hawaii, Polynesia and Tonga. Tahitian officials banned all traffic on roads less than 1,600 feet (500 meters) from the sea and people in several low-lying island nations were urged to find higher ground.

The first waves were expected to hit Hawaii after 11 a.m. (4 p.m. EST; 2100 GMT) and measure roughly 8 feet (2.5 meters) at Hilo. Officials evacuated people and boats near the water and closed shore-side Hilo International Airport.

Experts said tsunami waves could hit Asian, Australian and New Zealand shores as well as the U.S. West Coast and Alaska. In all, 53 nations and territories were subject to tsunami warnings.

Waves 6 feet (1.8 meter) above normal hit Talcahuano near Concepcion 23 minutes after the quake, then inundated the village of San Juan Bautista on Robinson Crusoe Island, 410 miles (660 kilometers) off the Chilean coast. At least three people were missing on the island, said Ivan de la Maza, superintendent of Chile’s prinicipal port zone.

“There was a big wave that covered half of the village,” said de la Maza, who is responsible for the island’s port as well.

A helicopter and a Navy frigate were enroute to the island to assist in the search, he said.

President Michelle Bachelet declared a “state of catastrophe” in central Chile but said the government has not asked for assistance from other countries.

edeg forzest meltabs penegra soft tab viagra

“The system is functioning.

People should remain calm. We’re doing everything we can with all the forces we have,” she said.

Powerful aftershocks rattled Chile’s coast — 41 of them magnitude 5 or greater — in the 10 hours after the quake. Six were sizable quakes in their own right, magnitude 6 or greater.

In Santiago, modern buildings are built to withstand earthquakes, but many older ones were heavily damaged, including the Nuestra Senora de la Providencia church, whose bell tower collapsed. A bridge just outside the capital also collapsed, and at least one car flipped upside down. Several hospitals were evacuated due to earthquake damage, Bachelet said.

Santiago’s airport will remain closed for at least 24 hours after the passenger terminal suffered major damage, airport director Eduardo del Canto told Chilean television. TV images showed smashed windows, partially collapsed ceilings and pedestrian walkways destroyed.

Santiago’s subway was shut as well and hundreds of buses were trapped at a terminal by a damaged bridge, Transportation and Telecommunications Minister said. He urged Chileans to make phone calls or travel only when absolutely necessary.

In Concepcion, Chile’s second-largest city and only 70 miles (115 kilometers) from the epicenter, nurses and residents pushed the injured through the streets on stretchers. Others walked around in a daze wrapped in blankets, some carrying infants in their arms. A 15-story building collapsed, leaving only a few floors intact.

“I was on the 8th floor and all of a sudden I was down here,” said Fernando Abarzua, marveling that he escaped with no major injuries. He said a relative was still trapped in the rubble six hours after the quake, “but he keeps shouting, saying he’s OK.”

Marco Vidal, a program director for Grand Circle Travel who was traveling with a group of 34 Americans, was on the 19th floor of the Crown Plaza Santiago hotel when the quake struck.

“All the things start to fall. The lamps, everything, was going on the floor,” he said. “I felt terrified.”

Cynthia Iocono, from Linwood, Pennsylvania, said she first thought the quake was a train.

“But then I thought, ‘Oh, there’s no train here.’ And then the lamps flew off the dresser and my TV flew off onto the floor and crashed.”

The quake struck after concert-goers had left South America’s leading music festival in the coastal city of Vina del Mar, where organizers canceled performances on Saturday, the final night of the festival. But it caught partiers leaving a disco.

“It was very bad. People were screaming. Some people were running, others appeared paralyzed. I was one of them,” Julio Alvarez told Radio Cooperativa.

The largest earthquake ever recorded struck the same area of Chile on May 22, 1960. The magnitude-9.5 quake killed 1,655 people and left 2 million homeless. The tsunami that it caused killed people in Hawaii, Japan and the Philippines and caused damage to the west coast of the United States.

Saturday’s quake matched a 1906 temblor off the Ecuadorean coast as the seventh-strongest ever recorded in the world.

Eva Vergara reported from Santiago, Chile. Associated Press Television News cameraman Mauricio Cuevas and writer Eduardo Gallardo in Santiago, and AP writer Sandy Kozel in Washington contributed to this story.

TSUNAMI – A PREVIEW OF COMING ATTRACTIONS – PART 1

September 30, 2009

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

I have contended for 35 years that while we cannot know the exact time Israel will be attacked by the Islamic forces of Antichrist, at which time massive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions will begin along all the major fault structures attached to or associated with the earth’s tectonic plate structure, we can at least know we are in the final time zone when it is “drawing nigh.” I am of the opinion it is very likely to initially begin at some point in time between 2010 and 2015.

The Time of Jacob’s Trouble – Part 1A

Worldwide Tectonic Chaos

Luke 21:28 – And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

For more than thirty years I have attempted to warn people that the day of God’s redemption was not in the distant future, but was nearer than many believed. No man has been able to predict the exact time when the terrible events of the tribulation period would suddenly introduce the final three and one-half years before the final battle of Armageddon, and I have always readily admitted that while I knew they would happen, I could not tell exactly when. However, while I cannot predict the day, the week, the month, the year, or the season (Summer, Fall, Winter, or Spring), I have always said that we could at least know when our redemption was “drawing nigh.”

I completed my first book, “Tectonic Chaos,” in 1977, after graduating from Arkansas Tech University. In it I wrote about the type of event that has just occurred as a result of the great seafloor earthquake off the northwestern tip of Sumatra, which could end with a death toll of some 28,000. It is somewhat ironic that I discussed another great tsunami generated to the east of Sumatra in the Sunda Straits of Indonesia in the first edition of the book, pointing out that it took more 36,000 lives. It was generated by a massive explosion in the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa volcano. And now, more than 120 years later, another tsunami is taking a massive number of lives. The following quote is taken from the first edition of “Tectonic Chaos,” which was published by Diamond W. Graphics in 1979. (Begin Quote)

“Furthermore, I assure you, that when a massive worldwide shifting of the tectonic plates occurs, then seismic wave action (tsunami) would destroy any ships anch ored

in ports around the world. At any given time about two-thirds of the world’s shipping is under way in the open seas or inland waterways, and the remaining one-third is in port or near the world’s coastlines. Ships on the open sea will be virtually unaffected by the tsunami waves, but a few will abruptly rise up on steeply inclined shorelines to perhaps hundreds of feet in height, and destroy all ships in port at that time.

These gigantic shore waves, called tsunami by the Japanese, occur in conjunction with massive landslides and/or vertical faulting on the seafloor caused by strong earthquakes and/or volcanic activity. Tsunami may travel thousands of miles across the oceans at speeds in excess of 450 miles per hour, and spread inland across low coastal areas as destructive waves maintaining a height of perhaps 60 feet for a brief period. One of the most disastrous tsunami on record caused the drowning of some 36,000 people living on islands in the East Indies.” (End Quote)

We are currently putting up an updated version of “Tectonic Chaos” on our Web Site chapter by chapter, and already have chapters 1 through 28 on it, with 8 chapters still to be put up, which we hope to get up by the end of January 2005.

The final generation, which I believe is in place today, is exactly like the final generation of Israel before it was judged by God and carried into Babylonian captivity. It wanted to hear only “smooth” things, good tidings that advised them their future looked great, that judgment was not for them, and that no tribulation would come upon them. Anyone who dared to tell them it was near, was ignored or rejected, but they loved those who said they were from God and told them what they wanted to hear. This was true of the northern kingdom of Israel before it was carried into Assyrian captivity, and of the southern kingdom of Judah before it also was carried to Babylon, and it is now true of many of God’s children who are about to go into a time of tribulation judgment. God’s warning for rebellion of his children is good for all generations, including the present one.

anti-wrinkle cream

Isaiah 30:8-13 – Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: [9] That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord: [10] Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: [11] Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. [12] Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: [13] Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

Jeremiah 5:11-14,31 – For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord. [12] They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: [13] And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them. [14] Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. [31] The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

This is also the condition among the majority of the children

of God in this last generation before the Second Advent. Fellows like me who have the audacity to teach that the children of God might have to go through part of the tribulation period are labeled as the “doom and gloom boys.” But I ask the same question as Jeremiah, “What will ye do in the end thereof?” Many of the teachers of the Word today are scratching the ears of the hearers, giving them comic relief from their itching fears of possibly being exposed to any kind of tribulation for the glory of God.

II Timothy 4:3-5 – For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; [4] And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. [5] But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

God’s coming judgment, identified as the time of Jacob’s trouble, contrary to popular belief, will begin while the saved are still be on the same planet with descendants of Jacob, and all born again believers that remain alive in the flesh, will remain on the earth until just before the seven vials of God’s wrath begin to be poured out.

Revelation 16:1 – And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

I Thessalonians 5:9 – For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

When you read this, if you are one who believes all the saved will definitely be caught out before the tribulation period begins, let me assure you that I have no desire to anger you. But I do implore you to read and consider the following Prophecy Updates in our Archives, which you may read by clicking on the arrow at the top of this update, and then selecting the following Updates from it for study – Prophecy Updates 166C, 72D, 74A, 78A, 82A, and 144F.

The horrific earthquake and resultant tsunami, which was generated off the northwestern tip of Sumatra last week, has taken an astronomical total of lives, and has once again demonstrated the real possibility of worldwide chaos when a massive movement of the earth’s tectonic plate structure does begin. This is not the beginning of the tribulation period, but I do assure you, that when the great earthquake in Revelation 6:12 occurs in the Jordan River Valley, it will mark the beginning of the last three and a half years of the tribulation period, and that the type of event which occurred in southeastern Asia will be occurring hundreds of times all along the shorelines of this planet until the end of the battle of Armageddon. I finished my third book, titled “The Bottomless Pit,” in 1979, and it was published by Bogard Press in the early eighties. It was later given a new title, “Birth Pangs from the Bottomless Pit,” and published in the mid-1980s. The following is extracted from the first edition of “The Bottomless Pit,” and similar comments may be viewed by clicking backward in our Birth Pang Archives until you reach Birth Pang Number 5.

(Begin Extract from “The Bottomless Pit.”)

“The preceding chapters have continually added to the premise that God will destroy sinful mankind ‘with the earth.’ This chapter, and those which follow, will continue to build upon that premise. The major contention of this premise is that God will move the massive tectonic plates shown in figure 3 approximately one to two feet during the last three and one-half years of the Tribulation Period. It is this destroying ‘with the earth’ that will create the horrifying scenes described in Isaiah 29:6 and Luke 21:25.

Isaiah 29:6 – Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire,

Luke 21:25 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring,

In Luke 21:25 the word translated “wave” is “saiou,” which means a particular type of wave. It means a wave that breaks on the shoreline, a wave of the surf. The nations of the world will be in great perplexity because of

the roaring sound of the sea and surf. It is this phenomenon of sea and surf that will destroy one-third of the world’s shipping.

The claim has been made that unbelievably violent earth¬quake and volcanic activity will be occurring along the area indicated by dashed lines of figure 3 during the last half of the Tribulation Period. Please note that most of these great cracks in the earth’s crust lie on the ocean and sea floors of the world. If I am correct about the earthquake and volcanic activity along these cracks, then I am positive that what I am about to describe will definitely occur.

There are many types of waves that exist on the ocean sur¬face. The most common being those induced by the winds and tides of the earth. But the most horrifying of all waves that pound the shorelines of the world is not produced by wind or tide; it is the unbelievable tsunami produced by earthquake and volcanic eruption on the seafloor.

Tsunami waves are not Tidal Waves. They are caused by undersea earthquakes or volcanoes and have killed millions of people down through the ages. Tsunami is the Japanese word for ‘storm wave.’ The Alaska earthquake of 1964 produced the tsunami wave pattern shown in figure 6.

As you can observe from the figure, it only took the tsunami four hours to move from the epicenter to Hawaii. Tsunami travel as fast as some jet aircraft. Tsunami can now be predicted so that appalling death tolls of yesteryear can be avoided. A network of seismic warning stations now functions across the Pacific Ocean to give early warning of an approaching tsunami.

As you can observe on the lower half of figure 6, a tsunami is generated when an undersea earthquake or volcanic eruption causes a sudden downward movement of an earth block. The downward displacement of water above the block produces not a surface wave, but rather a wave which moves horizontally outward through the water from the bottom to the top. Tsunamis cross the ocean as long, low waves which seagoing vessels may not even notice. But as you may observe in figure 7, when the tsunami approaches the shoreline the energy of the wave is con¬fined in shallower and shallower water. Tsunami have been known to rise to heights in excess of two hundred fifty feet. The increase in tsunami occurrences, during the past 190 years, is made evident in figure 8.

When a tsunami crashes against a coastline it destroys everything in its path, often up to half a mile inland.

Shipping on the open sea is virtually unaffected by a tsunami, but woe unto the ship that is caught in port. There is not a ship built which can withstand the force of a full blown tsunami as it roars into port. In one day the old city of Lisbon and all the ships in port were destroyed by a wall of water that washed half a mile inland. During the last three and one-half years of the Tribulation Period most of the coastal cities of the world and the ships in port will be completely destroyed by tsunami after tsunami. This is what will produce much of the distress and perplexity among the nations of the world. Now, how does all this fit in with Revelation 8:9 regarding John’s statement: “and the third part of the ships were destroyed?”

At any given time approximately two-thirds of the world’s shipping is “under way” on the open sea, and one-third is in port or dry dock. The two-thirds on the open sea will be spared, and the one-third in port will be destroyed by tsunami during the sounding of the second trumpet.

The following Scriptures leave little doubt that God has con¬trol of the sea and the destructive forces of its waves. Those who “do business in great waters” will lose one-third of their busi¬ness on the sounding of the second trump.

Psalm 89:9 – Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them,

Isaiah 51:15 – But I am the Lord thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The Lord of hosts is his name,

Psalm 107:23-25 – They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof,

The earth is God’s creation and all the things thereof. God does not need man’s weaponry or technology to fulfill His prophecies. God has already made all the elements necessary to destroy man, and He has molded them into forms, shapes, com¬pounds and processes capable of fulfilling His revelation of end-time events. I know that a great war will occur. Many men will die in that war. Bullets and other weaponry will kill many of them; but that will be only a few compared to the earthquake, fire and brimstone toll exacted by the force of Almighty God upon sinful mankind. For too long biblical expositors have been concentrating on a single tree (man’s weaponry and technology) as what will fulfill Revelation prophecies.

In so doing, they have overlooked the forest of God’s creation, among which are the earth’s many natural destructive forces.

Man will not destroy himself in a nuclear holocaust of his own making. If you desire to be frightened by such a possibility, be my guest and join the crowd. I do not fear the armies with thermonuclear arsenals. May I remind you whom you should fear with this closing passage from Luke 12:4,5 – And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”

The people on this planet are approaching the time of Jacob’s trouble, but many believe it is strictly for Israel, the descendants of Jacob. Even if you do believe that, I hope you will remember this Update when you discover the time before the pouring of the first vial is not God’s wrath, but rather his judgment on all the occupants of the earth, both on Jew and Gentile. Yes, I agree, the main trust of it will be on the Jews in Israel, but the rest of earth’s inhabitants will experience much more than they are currently anticipating.

Jeremiah 30:7 – Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

The following Scriptures delineate the specifics of what will be occurring during the time of Jacob’s trouble.

Matthew 24:21 – For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Isaiah 5:14 – Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

Isaiah 29:6 – Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

[28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

I assure you that the wrath of God will never be poured on his children, but God’s wrath is clearly identified as being seven vials of wrath, which all follow the blowing of the seventh trumpet. God never promised that his children would not be judged during the tribulation period, and I believe the seals and trumpets represent his judgment, not his wrath.

Revelation 16:1 – And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

I Thessalonians 5:9 – For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

We are approaching the time when, believe it or not, Israel will believe it has “Peace and safety,” but then suddenly the terrible time of Jacob’s trouble will come on them like a woman’s birth pangs, and they will not escape the last 1260 days of the tribulation period.

I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. (See Prophecy Update Number 12 in our Archives)

Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (See Birth Pangs 36 to 43 in our Archives, and Archive Prophecy Updates 5 to 11)

Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. (See Prophecy Updates 92 and 93 in our Archives)

Zechariah 13:9 –And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

Tsunami in South Pacific islands kills nearly 100

By KENI LESA and FILI SAGAPOLUTELE, Associated Press Writers

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

A massive tsunami unleashed by a powerful earthquake flattened Samoan villages and swept cars and people out to sea, killing at least 99 and leaving dozens missing Wednesday.

The death toll was expected to rise.

Survivors fled the fast-churning water for higher ground on the South Pacific islands and remained huddled there hours after the quake, with a magnitude between 8.0 and 8.3, struck around dawn Tuesday.

The quake was centered about 120 miles south of the islands of Samoa, which has about 180,000 people, and American Samoa, a U.S. territory of 65,000.

Four tsunami waves 15 to 20 feet (4 to 6 meters) high roared ashore on American Samoa, reaching up to a mile (1.5 kilometers) inland, Mike Reynolds, superintendent of the National Park of American Samoa, was quoted as saying by a parks service spokeswoman.

Less than 24 hours later, another strong underwater earthquake rocked western Indonesia on Wednesday, briefly triggering a tsunami alert for countries along the Indian Ocean. The 7.6-magnitude quake toppled buildings, cut power and triggered a landslide on Sumatra island, and at least 75 people were reported killed. Experts said the seismic events were not related.

The Samoan capital, Apia, was virtually deserted by afternoon, with schools and businesses closed. Hours after the waves struck, sirens rang out with another tsunami alert and panicked residents headed for higher ground again, although there was no indication of a new quake.

In American Samoa’s capital of Pago Pago, the streets and fields were filled with ocean debris, mud, overturned cars and several boats as a massive cleanup effort stretched into the night. Several buildings in the city — just a few feet above sea level — were flattened. Power was expected to be out in some areas for up to a month.

In Washington, President Obama has declared a major disaster for American Samoa. Obama said in a statement early Wednesday that he and his wife, Michelle, “will keep those who have lost so much in our thoughts and prayers.”

Hampered by power and communications outages, officials in the South Pacific islands struggled to determine damage and casualties.

Samoan police commissioner Lilo Maiava told The Associated Press that police had confirmed 63 deaths but devastated areas were still being searched.

At least 30 people were killed on American Samoa, Gov. Togiola Tulafono said, adding that the toll was expected to rise from searches by emergency crews.

“I don’t think anybody is going to be spared in this disaster,” said Tulafono, who was in Hawaii for a conference. He added that a member of his extended family was among the dead.

Authorities in Tonga, southwest of the Samoas, confirmed at least six dead and four missing, according to New Zealand’s acting Prime Minister Bill English.

Joey Cummings of radio station 93KHJ in Pago Pago told the BBC that he and his colleagues watched from a balcony as a 15-foot tsunami wave struck, and “the air was filled with screams.”

He yelled for people to run uphill, “but they just ran down the street away from the wave rather than make a sharp left and up the steep mountain just feet away.”

A “river of mud” carried trees, cars, buses and boats past his building, which is practically at sea level, Cummings told the BBC.

Some people searched for trapped survivors, he said, but others looted stores. Bodies were stacked in the back of pickup trucks, he added.

Alex Godinet, chief of staff for American Samoa’s congressional delegate, said his “whole house and everything was shaking.” When he went to the nearby village of Leone, the tsunami wave had already struck and receded.

“People, elders were trying to crawl all over the place, crawl up to higher place, higher areas,” he told NBC’s “Today” show.

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs said three Australians were among the dead. The British Foreign Office said one Briton was missing and presumed dead.

Samoan Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi looked shaken as he flew from Auckland, New Zealand, to Apia.

“So much has gone. So many people are gone,” he told reporters on board. “I’m so shocked, so saddened by all the loss.”

Malielegaoi said his own village of Lepa was destroyed.

“Thankfully, the alarm sounded on the radio and gave people time to climb to higher ground,” he said. “But not everyone escaped.”

Tulafono said that because the closeness of the community in American Samoa, “each and every family is going to be affected by someone who’s lost their life.” He spoke to reporters in Hawaii before boarding a Coast Guard C-130 plane loaded with aid and carrying Federal Emergency Management Agency officials.

A New Zealand P3 Orion maritime surveillance airplane had reached the region Wednesday and had searched for survivors off the coast, he said.

The Samoa Red Cross estimated that 15,000 people were affected by the tsunami.

New Zealander Graeme Ansell said the Samoan beach village of Sau Sau Beach Fale was leveled.

“It was very quick. The whole village has been wiped out,” Ansell told New Zealand’s National Radio from a hill near Apia. “There’s not a building standing. We’ve all clambered up hills, and one of our party has a broken leg. There will be people in a great lot of need ’round here.”

Residents of both Samoa and American Samoa said they were shaken awake by Tuesday’s quake, which lasted two to three minutes and was centered about 20 miles (30 kilometers) below the ocean floor. It was followed by at least three large aftershocks of at least 5.6 magnitude.

The quake came Tuesday morning for the Samoas, which lie just east of the international dateline. For Asia-Pacific countries on the other side of the line, it was already Wednesday.

American Samoa’s dominant industry — tuna canning — was also affected. Chicken of the Sea’s packing plant was forced to close, although the facility wasn’t damaged, the San Diego-based company said.

The effects of the tsunami could be felt nearly 5,000 miles away (7,500 kilometers) on a Japanese island, though there were no reports of damage or injuries there.

U.S. officials said strong currents and dangerous waves were forecast from California to Washington state. No major flooding was expected, however.

While the earthquake and tsunami were big, they were not on the same scale of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, said Brian Atwater of the U.S. Geological Survey in Seattle. That tsunami killed more than 230,000 in a dozen countries across Asia.

ARCHIVE PROPHECY UPDATE 18 (Issued in March 2001)

Before the sons of God were to appear in glorious manifestation on the millennial earth, there was to be a groaning of God’s creation. The earth was to travail like a woman experiencing birth pangs. We were advised of this by Paul in verses 19 and 22 of the eighth chapter of Romans, where he wrote: “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God,” and “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and trvaileth in pain together until now.” The birth pangs were occasionally felt during the time of Paul’s writings, but Matthew indicated they would increase noticeably just before Christ’s coming for his saints in verses 7b and 8 of the twentieth-fourth chapter of his gospel, where he wrote: “And there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers (many different) places. All these are the beginning of sorrows (odin).” The word “odin” is used for “sorrows” by Matthew, and the same root word for “odin” is used by Paul in Romans 8:22 to describe the “travail” of God’s creation. You may use any Greek lexicon of your choice, and you will find that the basic meaning of the word “odin” refers to the birth pangs experienced by a woman in the travail of delivering a child.

Therefore, when the Lord said “All these,” in verse 8, he was referring specifically to the birth pangs that would be suffered, in a period of time just before his coming, because of famines, pestilence, and earthquakes. He indicated that all three of these phenomena would increase steadily like a woman’s birth pangs, ever increasing in this period labeled as “the beginning of sorrows.” Down through the centuries earthquakes, famine, and pestilence have been used repeatedly to teach that the coming of Jesus was at hand. However, they have never followed the “odin” pattern of a woman’s birth pangs during recorded history, that is, until now. In order for this prophecy of Christ to be fulfilled these phenomena had to behave like a woman’s birth pains. When true labor pangs begin, they become greater and greater in frequency and intensity with the passage of time.

Earthquake surges have come and gone in short duration patterns since this prophecy was uttered, but now, for the first time since it was given, they are steadily following the pattern of “odin.” The same basic pattern is now being followed in famine, pestilence, and earthquakes, just as Jesus indicated. In this update we will show the “odin” pattern in earthquakes. In future updates we will cover pestilence (loimos) and famine, Lord willing. The statistics which will follow were first extracted from the Earthquake Data File Summary, U. S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Environmental Data Service, Boulder, Colorado, which was issued in May of 1976. I have received updates to the original report from

20 buy generic mg nexium

the same source every year since 1977. While the intensity of the earthquakes is similar to the Richter scale, with which most people are familiar, they are not exactly the same, but rather than launch out into a technical discussion of the difference, let me simply state that, for comparative purposes, they are the same.

They come from Table 2 – Summary of data file by year by magnitude and depth. As you read the numbers which follow in the narrative, remember they are referring to earthquakes reported across the earth greater than one in intensity on the Richter scale. Before Israel officially became a nation in May of 1948, there were never more than 6,000 earthquakes greater than one reported in any 19 year period.

I chose a 19 year cycle, because that is the number of years which passed between the time that Israel became a nation (1948), and the time she finally took back Old Jerusalem and her Temple Mount (1967). During the 19 year period between 1948 and the beginning of 1968, 32,789 earthquakes were reported across the surface of the planet.

In 1967 Israel recaptured the Old City of Jerusalem and her Temple Mount and, for the first time since she lost it to the Romans in A.D. 70, she regained sovereignty over it. During the 19 year period that followed, from 1968 to 1986, there were 125,011 earthquakes reported across the earth. In just 14 years, from 1986 to 2000, we had 247,347 earthquakes reported on this globe.

I assure you that they will continue to accelerate, but if they were simply to continue at this static rate of 17,688 per year then, by the time that the 19 year cycle is completed in 2005, there will have been 335,687 reported across the earth. The average number reported per year s ince 1948 has

increased, in 19 year cycles, from 1,726 to 6,579 to 17,688. I realize that a large part of the increase is due to better seismological equipment, a better reporting system, and an increase in the density of population, but it cannot be attributed to these factors alone. And, after all, Jesus simply said, for all practical purposes, that more and more would be reported in may different (differs) places just before he came again. And, in saying they would be in many different places, one would have to surmise he knew man would spread across the earth and that technology would rapidly increase in the last days.

1 avodart cialis clomid diflucan dostinex gluco

In any case, it demonstrates he is who he claimed to be, the Son of God, who knows the future. Did not the Spirit, in Daniel 12:4, indicate that man would spread across the earth, and technology would bring a literal knowledge and capability explosion: “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Could Jesus have known less?

END 2001 ARCHIVE PROPHECY UPDATE

I believe the great earthquake of Revelation 6:12 will start the Tribulation Period, and will occur in the same general time zone as the initial attack of the 10 Islamic Horns against Israel.

Powerful 8.8 Earthquake Hits Chile, Death Toll Climps

An 8.8 earthquake struck at 06:34 GMT some 91 km Northeast of the Chilean city of Concepcion and 317 km Southwest of the capital Santiago

February 27, 2010

A powerful earthquake with an initial magnitude of 8,8 on the Richter scale has struck central Chile, the BBC reports Saturday citing the US Geological Survey (USGS).

The US also issued a tsunami warning for Chile, Peru and Ecuador and later extended it to Colombia, Antarctica, Panama, Hawaii and Costa Rica while Japan’s meteorological agency warned of a potential tsunami across large areas of the Pacific. Australia also issued a tsunami alert.

The earthquake struck 35 km deep at 06:34 GMT, some 91 km Northeast of the city of Concepcion and 317 km Southwest of the capital, Santiago.

Buildings in Santiago were reported to have shaken for between 10 and 30 seconds, with the loss of electricity and communications. Preliminary reports list at least 78 casualties and a large number of collapsed buildings.

Santiago airport is closed and all flights are canceled until further notice, airline officials say.

President Michelle Bachelet is quoted as saying that a “wave of large proportion” had affected the Juan Fernandez island group, reaching halfway into one inhabited area.

USGS have recorded eight aftershocks, the largest of 6,9 magnitude at 08:01 GMT.

Chile suffered the biggest earthquake of the 20th century when a 9,5 magnitude quake struck the city of Valdivia in 1960, killing 1,655 people.

Blog meetings were mainly generated because Iran is running scared of an attack on their nuke sites by Israel or America, so short range talks were instituted to plan what steps Iran wanted her terrorist buddies to take if and when such attacks occur. But long range planning was also naturally discussed for the complete elimination of Israel after U.S. troops leave the Middle East. I am convinced all foreign troops will have left the Middle East prior to 2015.

At Damascus Summit, Iranian President Ahmadinejad and Syrian President Assad Defy U.S., Promise that Israel’s Elimination is Near

Yesterday’s visit to Damascus by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, his joint press conference with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, his meetings with Hizbullah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah and with leaders of the Palestinian factions, and his meetings planned for tomorrow in Tehran with senior Palestinian resistance officials all constitute clear and deliberate defiance vis-à-vis U.S. policy, and a declaration of the continuation of the policy of resistance against Israel and the U.S.

At a joint press conference yesterday, Ahmadinejad and Assad both attacked the U.S., particularly U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who had called on Syria to sever relations with Iran. Assad mocked Secretary Clinton’s statements, saying “We hope others will not [try to] give us lessons,” and adding: “We can decide how things will proceed, and we know our own interests.”

Ahmadinejad, for his part, said, “No one invited Mrs.

Clinton to express her views,” and voiced his wish that the Americans would drop dead from their annoyance. He even declared that the U.S. had reached a dead end in its attempts to take over the Middle East, and that developments in the world would be in Syria’s and Iran’s favor.

In response to Secretary Clinton’s call to Syria to sever relations with Iran, Assad and Ahmadinejad declared that they aimed for maximally close relations between the two countries, and even signed an agreement eliminating visa requirements between them.

Assad and Ahmadinejad repeatedly stressed their support for the resistance movements in the region, and promised that final and absolute victory would come. Ahmadinejad reiterated his threat that Israel will be eliminated, and promised that if Israel repeated its mistakes, all the peoples of the region, headed by Syria, Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq, would join in resistance.

Assad stood with Iran on its nuclear issue, calling efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear energy for peaceful purposes “a new act of colonization” and a renewed attempt by the West to take over the region. He even claimed that the West was trying to prevent the Islamic countries from acquiring technology and knoledge.

Editorials in the Syrian government newspapers were vehement in their attacks on the U.S.’s demand that Syria sever relations with Iran, underlining that these relations are strategic and strong, to the point where nothing could ever affect them.

Ahmadinejad also met in Damascus with a delegation from Hizbullah, headed by the organization’s secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah; with a delegation from the Amal movement from Lebanon; and with representatives of the Palestinian factions in Damascus, among them Hamas political bureau head Khaled Mash’al. The Iranian news agency Fars reported today, February 26, 2010, that the heads of the Palestinian organizations, including Mash’al, Islamic Jihad secretary-general Ramadan Abdallah Shelah, PFLP-GC secretary-general Ahmad Jibril, and PFLP leader abroad Maher Al-Taher are to visit Iran tomorrow, February 27.

This information, and Ahmadinejad’s statements over the past two weeks (see MEMRI Special Dispatch No. 2826, “Iranian President Ahmadinejad Repeatedly Calls for Eliminating Israel,”), indicate that Iran and Syria may possibly try to drag Israel into a conflict by means of provocation by either Hizbullah or Hamas, with the aim of dispelling the current international pressure on Iran over its nuclear issue – as Iran did in 2006 through its proxy Hizbullah, on the eve of the U.N. Security Council discussion of Iran’s nuclear portfolio.

Al-Assad in February 25, 2010 Press Conference

The Day Will Surely Come When We Will Celebrate the Big Failure of

the Enemies of the Resistance

At a joint press conference on February 25, 2010 with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad said that despite considerable frustrations and obstacles that have harmed the region and its people, the outcome of the past stage has been favorable to the resistance forces in the region, which defended the rights and causes of their peoples. Assad added, “The forces on the other side have met with failure. At each juncture and with each development we can see these forces moving from failure to failure.

proventil and pregnancy

We hope that some day, we will be able to celebrate their big failure along with some religious holiday [such as the Prophet’s birthday that we are celebrating today]… Such a day will surely come.

”We wanted this holiday to be one of accomplishment, so we signed an agreement on waiving visa requirements between Syria and Iran… This agreement will result in more contacts [between us] and promote the common interests of the Syrian and Iranian peoples… Bilateral relations cannot remain confined for decades to the political domain alone. Economically speaking, these relations cannot be restricted to projects and to large companies, given that the real relationship between two countries or two peoples starts at the level of the individual, and proceeds from the base to the summit, and not the other way around… I believe this agreement will advance the relations in this direction, and will further enhance the relations at all levels and in all sectors, with no exception.

We have no choice but to enhance communication, strengthen our relations, and expand the network of interests shared by our two countries… This is the only way, if we really want to attain what we call independent decision that transforms us from ‘importers of the future’ into shapers of the future…

“In addition to our bilateral relations, we discussed other political issues, including Iraq, the coming elections [there,] and their effect on the political process and on Iraq’s stability, [as well as] the withdrawal of the occupation forces and its effect on the future of the region as a whole. Our meeting [also] dealt with Israel’s terrorism and how to confront its crimes, and with the resistance and the mechanism for supporting it… It goes without saying that supporting the resistance is a legitimate and moral duty.”

Al-Assad thanked Ahmadinejad for Iran’s support of Syria in the face of the Israeli threats, adding that “these threats will not affect Syria’s positions or policy.” He added: “Ahmadinejad’s participation [in the holiday celebrations] stresses our unity as Muslims vis-à-vis the attempts to divide the Islamic nation into rival tribes… We hear terms which are not part of the Islamic religion, and are aimed at destroying Islam and dividing the Muslims.” Al-Assad stressed that “in these circumstances, we need the unity that the Prophet Muhammad called for, and we must work to achieve it, believing that all disputes are caused by the enemy.”

“We Are Always Prepared for an Israeli Aggression, Large or Small”

Answering a question about the latest Israeli threats, President Al-Assad said, ”These threats are not an isolated case and should not be viewed as such. We must consider them in the context of Israel’s history, which is based upon treachery, aggression, occupation, expansion and hegemony… At the same time, it would be a mistake to assess [the threat posed by Israel] based [only] on statements or probabilities… [Israel’s] statements do not mean that it will launch an aggression, and the absence of statements does not mean that it will not do so… We basically assume that there is an entity [called Israel] that may launch an aggression at any time… We are always prepared for an Israeli aggression, large or small…

“If we want to examine [Israel’s] statements, [we can see that] they may contain two messages: one for Syria and for the resistance, aimed at pushing them into submission… and another message for the Israelis [themselves], meant to lift their morale after the series of setbacks and defeats that have befallen Israel.

Our reaction will not be based on statements but on our view of Israel.

Naturally, we have to be prepared at any moment for any Israeli aggression that may occur, no matter what its pretext or reason.”

President Al-Assad continued, ”The so-called new Middle East and the proposed projects to partition the region will not start with maps and borders, but with hearts and minds…When these maps ripen in our hearts and minds, they [i.e. the West] will implement them on the ground.”

On Iran’s Nuclear Program: This is a Western Plot to Prohibit the Muslims from Possessing Technology and Gaining Knowledge

About Iran’s nuclear program, Al-Assad said: “I listened to my brother Ahmadinejad’s [statements] about his country’s stance on the Iranian nuclear dossier, and based on what I have heard from Western officials over the last months and weeks, I firmly believe that what is happening is a new act of colonization in the region. [It is an act of imposing Western] hegemony by preventing a sovereign country – a member of the UN that seeks to possess nuclear energy for peaceful purposes – from [realizing] its right to enrich [uranium] – and this despite the noticeable flexibility displayed by Iran in the last two months.

“This is a prearranged [Western] plot… The Islamic countries are prohibited from possessing this technology or any other, which means that we have no right to gain knowledge… What is applied to Iran will later be applied to the other countries as well… Our stance in Syria is based upon our understanding of this issue and principle… and I think that our interest as a country is to attain [nuclear] energy for peaceful purposes at some point in the future, just as it is the interest of all other countries to do so.”

Sarcastic Response to Clinton’s Statements: “We Meant to Sign a Separation Agreement Between Syria and Iran – But Apparently Some Mistranslation or Misunderstanding Occurred, and We Signed an Agreement Waiving Visa Requirements Instead”

In reply to a question on U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s latest statements, in which she called upon Syria to steer away from Iran, President Al-Assad remarked sarcastically: ”In our meeting today, we meant to sign a separation agreement between Syria and Iran, but apparently some mistranslation or misunderstanding occurred, and we signed an agreement waiving visa requirements instead…” He continued, ”I wonder how they [i.e. the Americans] talk about stability in the Middle East and about all the other positive principles, and at the same time call for a distancing between two countries…

”We hope others will not [try to] give us lessons when it comes to our [own] region and history…We can decide how things will proceed, and we know our own interests… [though] we do thank them for their advice.”

Ahmadinejad in February 25, 2010 Press Conference

The Zionist Regime Must Not Repeat Its Past Mistakes – For This Will Lead to Its Inevitable Death

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said at the press conference that the developments in the world would favor Iran and Syria, and the free peoples and governments. He added that the new Middle East is in a phase of development, and that the ties among the peoples of the region are very strong. Referring to Israel, he said, “I call the Zionists to reconsider their situation, to respect and recognize the rights of peoples of the region, and to realize that if they continue on this wrong path they will find no place for themselves in our region. He called upon the Zionist regime not to repeat its past mistakes, because this would lead to its inevitable death, as the peoples of the region – in particular Syria, Iran, Lebanon and Iraq, but also all the other peoples – would rise up against it. Ahmadinejad added that the Zionists and their supporters have reached a dead end, saying, “Time is on the side of the peoples of the region and is working against the enemy. Weakness lies behind all the of Israel’s practices and threats against the Palestinian people.”

On Iran-Syria relations, the Iranian president said: “The brotherly relations between Syria and Iran are deep, broad, developed and permanent… Nothing can affect these brotherly relations, and they are constantly developing

and deepening. The Palestinian and Lebanese resistance [movements], and the Lebanese, Syrian and Iranian peoples [all] stand by each other… Our interests and goals are shared, and cooperation between us is expanding daily in the economic, cultural and political fields…”

“The U.S. Once Wished to Dominate and Control the Entire Middle East – But Now It Has Reached a Dead End”

About the U.S. and its involvement in Iraq, Ahmadinejad stated: “Look at Iraq … The Iraqi people were united for hundred of years, but the U.S. occupation generated disagreement among them.” He added that, today, the U.S. government no longer has any influence on relations in the region: “The time when the U.S. issued orders from overseas, and was obeyed by the other peoples, is over.

Now, the peoples of the region have their say. We seek to upgrade the Syrian-Iranian-Turkish relations, and hope that Iraq will join us in confronting those who want to dominate the region. We advise the U.S. to leave the region instead of interfering in its affairs… We all know that, if the U.S. continues to follow the former approach, the people will end its hegemony… The U.S. once wished to dominate and control the entire Middle East, but now it has reached a dead end… They are in the process of leaving the region.”

“No One Invited Mrs. Clinton to Express Her Views on the Region’s Affairs”

the Iranian president said: “I say that there is no distance between Syria and Iran …If she wants to do something, then she should do something for the benefit of the American people… No one invited Mrs. Clinton to express her views on the region’s affairs…”[1]

According to the Iranian news agency Mehr, Ahmadinejad said that Clinton’s demand expressed American annoyance, and stated his wish that the Americans would “drop dead from this annoyance.”[2]

Teshreen: Nothing Can Harm Syria-Iran Relations

The editor of the Syrian government daily Teshreen, Samira Al-Musalima, wrote about the Assad-Ahmadinejad summit: “The meeting in Damascus yesterday between the two leaders… proved that, in terms of their extent and their depth, the relations between Syria and Iran have surpassed [the point] that [some elements in the world] hoped that they would never reach. These relations have now reached such a level that nothing can affect them, no matter what means are employed…

“The identical positions expressed by the leaderships of the two peoples have created a situation in which the horizons for further development of the relations, in all domains, are unlimited. Therefore, we can now say that these relations have become a model for emulation for countries throughout the world, especially since they lay the foundation for a regional reality characterized by stability and development, and by a political atmosphere of transparency and openness to all. This [has occurred] despite all the pressures to which these relations have been subjected under various pretexts [characterized by] lies, false claims, and lack of credibility and transparency.

“Ever since the Islamic Revolution, Iran has promoted our national and pan-Arab affairs… thereby proving itself a [true] sister and friend.

The factors and motivations unifying Iran and the Arabs cannot be reduced to history, geography, shared political or cultural interests, or [a common] religion. It is all of these [together] that make Iran a true part of the present and future of this region – a creative, active and influential component, which has mutual ties not only with Syria but with all the Arabs and Muslims, without exception.

“That is why we must all [be careful] not to be swayed, even for a moment, by the lies and delusions of others, and especially by their plot [to have us] live in a state of unjustified fear of a friendly Muslim country [i.e. Iran]. Any talk meant to sow division [between ourselves] and Iran is talk that does not promote the interests of the region, or its security, stability and future.

[Such talk only] strengthens the Israeli entity, while impeding all o ther countries in

the region from developing their abilities in all domains, especially their ability to ensure their stability and territorial integrity, and to develop technology as the basis for a prosperous future for all the peoples in the region.”[3]

Al-Thawra Editor: The U.S. Demand that Syria Distance Itself from Iran is Degrading and Arrogant

As’ad ‘Abboud, editor of the Syrian daily Al-Thawra, harshly criticized U.S. demands for Syria to distance itself from Iran. In an editorial, ‘Abboud wrote: “How can we consider it rational policy for a world power to view separating and alienating two neighboring nations one from another as a basis for mutual understanding?… The advancement of Syria’s relations with other countries in the region is likely to present to those with good intentions more than one opening to resolving problems. [Only] one who is oppressively and domineeringly arrogant views relations between Syria and Iran – which have been built up over more than 30 years, and which are established on enduring historical, geographical, and cultural roots – as something which can be bartered over [with Syria].

“Not only do we refuse [to enter into negotiations with the U.S. over our relations with Iran], but we see it, moreover, as something degrading. It is our wish to assist all those countries of the world prepared to demonstrate good intentions for [achieving] peace, security, and stability in the region through strong, healthy, and well-developed relations with other nations, and not through distancing [nations] from [other nations]…

“We do not consider the aim of the West with regard to Iran’s nuclear production the prevention of arms proliferation. If that were the case, they would turn first to Israel. All the countries of the world have the right to derive benefit from science without [being subject to] dictates. They are obligated to follow the decisions reached by the international community… and those decisions based in logic and evidence and not accusations.

“[Assad said:] ‘Preventing [the nuclear development of] an independent nation which is a member of the U.N. and an NPT signatory is an act of domination and neo-colonialism in the region.’ These are clear positions. Firstly, because they are rational, and in line with state diplomacy and [the notion of] cooperation, and secondly, because these positions will inevitably prevail sooner or later.”[4]
