The Rapture is Coming… Thank You Chicken Little

The Rapture conjurors up visions of hell on earth and things happening in biblical proportions; to quote Dr. Peter Venkman “Dogs and Cats living together, mass hysteria.” The Rapture is believed to be by many the day when Jesus will call the chosen up to Heaven with him, they will all just disappear and be in heaven while leaving the rest of the world to hopefully get onto the next wave of ascension or be blinked out of existence for the rest of eternity to never be thought of again, pretty scary/creepy no matter how you look at it.

Now why am I brining up the whole Rapture topic, well on May 21sr, 2011 the Rapture is supposedly going to take place. That’s right folks the Rapture is about to happen and you can’t stop it, so run up those credit card bills because you won’t have to pay them off, so long as this date is correct…which it isn’t. That’s right, there is no way this can be accurate, I say this for a number of reasons and not just because I’m selfish and want to see the entire season of Mythbusters before the Rapture happens.

Let’s look at the most convincing evidence of them all, in the bible, Matthew to be exact, it states: Matthew 24:36: “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only” Now to me it would seem nobody really knows when the Rapture is supposed to take place, not even Jesus himself and last time I checked he and God were pretty tight with one another. So if not even Jesus knows the date then how in the world can we? The answer is that we can’t known and won’t know until the day it happens, plain and simple.

Now there have also been quite a number of Rapture dates through out history, some dating as far back as March 21st, 1844 and even dates predicted as far into the future as 2060, which was calculated by Sir Isaac Newton. These dates are based off the biblical time line of events presented to us through the good book. I also hate to be the bearer of bad news, but trying to figure out exact time lines in the bible is pretty much impossible, the calendar is not the same as it was back then. Many scholars have tried with great effort to figure out true dates and times within the bible and each time there are so many different answers because most of the things are based on interpretations as to when the events actually occurred.

Now the May21st Rapture has been pushed really hard by Harold Camping who is the president of Family Stations, Inc. which is a religious based radio broadcast company. He has been criticized for his teachings and this Rapture date for a number of years. May I also add that this is the 3rd or 4th Rapture date he has come up with over the years, so as each one passes he revises his statement with quoting miscalculation on his part. Do I care really if he says the Rapture will happen on a certain date at a certain time? No I do not, however I do mind if people start to really buy into and in the process hurt themselves and others. His group has been compare to the Branch Dividian incident involving David Koresh and the Heaven’s Gate group, which if we all remember how these two groups ended it wasn’t good.

I am not saying you can’t have opinions and speculations as to the time and date of the Rapture, but make sure express it is presented as such. If you start to predict the future end of the world then in essence you are going against the teaching of the Bible. The Bible wants us to be kind and good to our fellow man/woman, not to work them up into a anxiety filled stressful frenzy based upon a date and time you made up just to try and prove how “Godly” you are. Just be good and just enjoy life while helping out where you can along the way, that’s the true message when you boil it all down. Take what is said with a grain of salt and do your own research and draw your own opinions because you may find out more about yourself than you realized.

Be safe and be happy; it’s the best way to make it though life,

Silent Time Traveler… Can You Hear Me Now???

There has been a video creating a rather unique buzz and has been reported on by a number of highly respected news shows such as BBC, CNN & MSNBC. Now some of you may have heard about or even seen the video for yourself. If you haven’t yet seen it then just go to YouTube and time in silent time traveler. It is a video lip from a Charlie Chaplin film called The Circus. At one point of the film is shows a woman dressed all I black with what appears to be a cell phone in her hand and she is talking in it. Now I know for those of you who have not connected the dots yet that you are asking yourself so what if she is on a cell phone in this movie clip. Well this film is fro 1928 and from my research as well a the common sense part of people cell phones had yet to be invented yet.

 That’s right something that appears to be a woman dressed in black is talking on a cell phone in a 1928 movie. Can this even be possible? Is this woman a time traveler and she is talking with someone in the future on her phone? This movie clip has created such a buzz over the internet and main stream media and only helps to further the stories of conspiracy theorists everywhere. The media presents it as a curiosity to not be read into, but rather something to give to something to talk about around the water cooler. However there are those that claim this is a blatant show of time travel and/or alien technology. I can see how you can come up with the time travel thing, but alien technology is a bit stretching it don’t you think?

This clip was originally found by George Clark who first posted it on the internet after to seeing it in the extras of a Charlie Chaplain box set. Now I have also come to find out that Mr. George Clark is a Belfast film-maker. Could he be trying to get some sort of publicity and recognition in film-making by posting something outrageous? My vote would be yes, while I do not know Mr. Clark I could easily see such a thing done by a film-maker. It’s not like the film industry doesn’t pull things like this all the time for publicity. Also, how is it that nobody else who own this box set have seen it and come forward about it?

Now for the pure fun of it let’s just say that this woman I in fact a time traveler and she is talking on a cell phone. First off how would cell phone reception work? There are no towers to broadcast an collect signals or does that mean it is a special type of time travel phone that can be used to connect with those in the future? Also how could this woman not know what was going on, I mean as a time traveler wouldn’t you want to keep a low profile so as not to disrupt the time frame in which you are visiting?

While it is a very thought provoking piece of footage I would have to say it’s not a time traveler and could possibly be a woman not wanting to show her face on film. It could also be a woman hiding her face from the sun or even she could be using a device called a portable ear trumpet which helps people who are hard of hearing. I wouldn’t read to much into this as there are much more important things to worry about in this world. Just have fun with this clip and laugh it off.

Be safe and reception in the past is horrible,

Nazi Alien Technology…Indiana Jones Would’ve Been Screwed.

That’s right you read correctly, Nazi Alien Technology, it isn’t a typo and for those of you who follow/study/research aliens, the occult and Nazis this really shouldn’t be all that surprising to you. However for the rest of you who don’t know about such a topic, may I introduce to you that the Nazis of World War 2 were in fact studying alien technology while trying to create some of their own. The Nazi regime was in fact created out of the occult and it’s entire symbolism was that of dark occult and religious connotation. Hitler was know to be heavily influenced and connected with the occult and so were his main staff of generals as leaders as well.

 With this they also believe strongly in the life of the universe mainly that of aliens and UFOs. Some people strongly believe that the Nazis had in fact acquired alien technology and were able to back engineer it while creating there own alien style technology. If these stories are in fact true then they must not have either perfected it or had the time to utilize the technology due to the end of the war and defeat of Germany. Whatever the reasoning behind it, there are two main stories connect with the Nazi UFO program as it were.

The first story is that of the Haunebu which the name for the Nazi UFO program became. Now the program did in fact exist and was based upon their V-7 program which was to create circular flying saucers for military purposes. The question about the existence of the program is not what is debated, but rather where they got the idea and the technology to create such a flying disc. Now the idea and stories of flying sauces in the sky carrying alien life forms have been around, if you ask some, since the biblical era. If want to really get into it, it is said that there is a story I the bible describing UFOs and aliens, that will be for another time however. The idea for flying saucers did not exclusively exist in Nazi Germany, but around the same time American flight engineers were looking at the same style of flight. Did the Americans get their idea from alien technology? Some will say yes, I say no; my reason being is that hover technology and an enclosed propulsion system has always been a dream for aircraft designers as far back as Leonardo Davinci.

The second story is a big more UFO technology than that of its counter part story. This story tells of a bell like ship called Die Glocke considered to be the biggest and greatest weapon of mass destruction ever created. This is a story completely surrounded in mystery and intrigue as it was loosely discovered from some Nazi classified papers supposedly. Has there ever been concrete evidence of the existence of Die Glocke? No there is nothing concrete of its existence and there never will be. Could such a bell shaped flying device exist? Sure I believe that the Nazis were I fact working on some sort of bell shaped flying machine, there is no reason to think otherwise as they were always creating. Yet I find it hard to believe it was based off of capture alien technology and had the ability to go into space and be the greatest super weapon of all time. The Nazis were known to destroy any and all evidence supporting their experiments and treatment of people. So am I shocked that no documentation about a top secret military project has never been unearthed not at all and neither should you.

The Nazis had a number of things going on and when you see their conquests in the Indiana Jones series with them trying to acquire biblical relics that would make them powerful, don’t be shocked because its based off of fact. Hitler believed very strongly in the power of relics and artifacts to the point he based his life and leadership around them. To go as far as to think they tried to create alien technology is not a stretch, but to think they acquired it through captured aliens is very difficult for me to believe.

Be safe and keep your eye on the sky,

The Bottomless Pit… and I’m Not Talking About Adam Richman’s Stomach.

The bottomless pit has been a thing of mystery and curiosity for hundreds of years. Could such a pit exist? Of course if one does exists, where? The air of mystery that could surround a hole that seemingly was endless is beyond compare, especially to some people. There are a few stories floating out there in the world that may be reality or just fanciful legend. I guess it really depends what you want to believe.

The first story comes from Russia and it was called the “Well to Hell”. It was a hole that was drilled so deep that it broke through to the underworld of Hell itself. It is said that a nine mile deep hole was dug and then broke through to an extremely hot cavity of the earth. A heat resistant microphone was lowered down into this cavity of the earth and they could hear the flames and screams of those people being eternally torture for the horrible acts they had committed while living. Is this true? Is there such a deep hole in Russia? Is it that extremely hot? Are the screams of the dammed heard?

Well believe it or not some of this story is true, in fact Russia has a deep hole about nine miles located in the Kola Peninsula and not Siberia as the story would have us believe. The hole is in fact nearly eight miles deep and the temperatures have reached 360 degrees Fahrenheit which makes drilling any further extremely expensive. Now time for the screams of the damned part of this story, when drilling they did happen to stumble upon geological anomalies but there were definitely no screams if the damned recorded. So a simple story of great engineering in the aspect of drilling a hole was taken to a legend of supernatural lore.

On a side note leave it to the Christians to take something of legend without properly verifying credentials as proof that Hell exists. Heck it went even as far as to add to the story that a winged bat like creature emerged from the hole and blazed a fire trail across the sky. Now I am a Christian, but even I get annoyed at the blatant disregard for reality that so many seem to have. Plus it was reported by TBN (Trinity Broadcast Network) as real and factual, great journalism there bible thumpers.

 The next story of a bottomless pit is that of Mel’s Hole located somewhere in Washington state. Now I say somewhere because nobody knows for sure where it is except a man named Mel Waters who may not even exist too. This hole is supposedly deeper than 28 miles and has a diameter of 9 feet. An investigation into the legend and the man by a local news agency came up with that Mel Waters wasn’t listed to live where he said he did in fact they couldn’t find a record of him in general. Plus the location is no where to be found and identified except by this supposed Mel Waters, so the whole thing may just be a urban legend without any type of facts behind it to twist into lore.

 The fascination with the bottomless pits have even reached the Simpson’s with Ozzie Smith falling into one during a softball tournament episode. If we look at the fact s of drilling and holes into the earth we can see how these are mere legends of lore and nothing more than that. Physically nothing in this world is limitless, numbers are limitless but not physical matter. If you were to dig a hole through the earth you would just come out the other side, if it were possible. The amount of money and high tech equipment needed to accomplish such a feet would be so spectacular nobody in their right mind would take on such a business venture. Then you would have to go through the center of the earth which is made up of gases and magma so hot and toxic it would kill a person instantly. Don’t believe me? Go jump into a volcano and see how you survive, if you make it out alive I’ll take my statement back because otherwise I’m laying a wreath at your funeral that said I told you so.

Fact of the matter is this, there is no such thing as a bottomless pit. If you want to get science fiction on me and say it’s some sort of a vortex or worm hole then I’m glad to listen to you. Yet may I remind you that even a worm hole has a beginning and a end just as vortex does; that is if we go by basic principal and understanding of said manifestations.

Be safe and watch that last step…it’s a doozy,
