APOPHIS - A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT WE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO

Mother Mary Shipton had something to say about a celestial body that would torment us seven times as it passes by. I wonder if it would not be this thing:

It sure does have the potential to do some harm to our little blue orb. My wife feels that many of these kinds of things can happen (for the bad), based on the actions of God's children. In other words, a little nudge here, a little nudge there (in a cosmic sense) spells the difference between disaster or physical salvation. She feels that this may have been the case with Elenin breaking up as it rounded the sun. I can't discount that thinking.....

FASCINATING EXPLANATION FOR THE TUGUNSKA BLAST IN 1908

Apparently this thing will swing by again in 2045 (not worried - I will be enjoying the company of Great Aunt Gertrude on the other side by then....).

The theory that a chunk of hydrogen ice could have made the monster blast is intriguing indeed.....

PASSING OF APOPHIS CAUSED THE GREAT TSUNAMI OF DEC 26TH, 2004?

Man, was this just coincidence, or what? I had no idea the occurrence of the great tsunami could be correlated to a rather unusual celestial event. Fascinating!

I have not gotten into the Bible Code stuff here - but that was kind of an interesting side note, as well. I will have to take a deep dive into that stuff later.

LARSEN'S ANIMATION OF THE GRAND SIGN OF THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN

I hear the gamut from everyone who I let on about my passion about the Second Coming; "why worry", "I don't want to be alive - that is going to be too scary....", to "What do I need to do to be prepared for the Second Coming?".

What can I say - I just say follow the prophets and the gift of prophecy that ALL of God's children have/can have, and you will be just fine.

Here is some great stuff from Larsen on the Grand Sign before the coming of the Son of Man (see my blog piece on the comet Apophis):

MOTHER MARY SHIPTON'S WORDS TO COME ABOUT?

If you dig through this blog, there is alot of stuff about what is/may be going on in our heavens as we are told to watch for signs in the heavens and in the earth of our Lord's coming. Mother Mary Shipton, an English prophetess from times past had alot to say about a fascinating celestial event that will occur repeatedly. I have been watching this particular celestial development for several years now since they first discovered it (which subsequently spawned a bunch of Hollywood disaster movies).

It appears that life may be imitating art - and oh how it bugs me that Hollywood is taking the lead on anything that is remotely correct - other than proof positive that old scratch exists and is building his wretched kingdom here in defiance of truth and righteousness.

Here is the article:

By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV, Associated Press Writer Vladimir Isachenkov, Associated Press Writer – Wed Dec 30, 8:28 am ET

MOSCOW – Russia's space chief said Wednesday his agency will consider sending a spacecraft to a large asteroid to knock it off its path and prevent a possible collision with Earth.

Anatoly Perminov said the space agency will hold a meeting soon to assess a mission to Apophis, telling Golos Rossii radio that it would invite NASA, the European Space Agency, the Chinese space agency and others to join the project once it is finalized.

When the 270-meter (885-foot) asteroid was first discovered in 2004, astronomers estimated the chances of it smashing into Earth in its first flyby in 2029 were as high as 1-in-37.

Further studies ruled out the possibility of an impact in 2029, when the asteroid is expected to come no closer than 18,300 miles (29,450 kilometers) above Earth's surface, but they indicated a small possibility of a hit on subsequent encounters.

In October, NASA lowered the odds that Apophis could hit Earth in 2036 from a 1-in-45,000 as earlier thought to a 1-in-250,000 chance after researchers recalculated the asteroid's path. It said another close encounter in 2068 will involve a 1-in-330,000 chance of impact.

Scientists have long theorized about asteroid deflection strategies. Some have proposed sending a probe to circle around a dangerous asteroid to gradually change its trajectory. Others suggested sending a spacecraft to collide with the asteroid and alter its momentum, or using nuclear weapons to hit it.

Without mentioning NASA findings, Perminov said that he heard from a scientist that Apophis is getting closer and may hit the planet. "I don't remember exactly, but it seems to me it could hit the Earth by 2032," Perminov said.

He wouldn't disclose any details of the project, saying they still need to be worked out. But he said the mission wouldn't require any nuclear explosions.

Hollywood action films "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon," have featured space missions scrambling to avoid catastrophic collisions. In both movies space crews use nuclear bombs in an attempt to prevent collisions.

"Calculations show that it's possible to create a special purpose spacecraft within the time we have, which would help avoid the collision without destroying it (the asteroid) and without detonating any nuclear charges," Perminov said. "The threat of collision can be averted."

"People's lives are at stake. We should pay several hundred million dollars and build a system that would allow to prevent a collision, rather than sit and wait for it to happen and kill hundreds of thousands of people," he added.

Boris Shustov, the director of the Institute of Astronomy under the Russian Academy of Sciences, hailed Perminov's statement as a signal that officials had come to recognize the danger posed by asteroids.

"Apophis is just a symbolic example, there are many other dangerous objects we know little about," he said, according to RIA Novosti news agency.
