Four Years Since the
Letter to Humanity
As of March 2, 2011, the
Letter to Humanity (God Is Calling You) has been
released to humanity and their leaders for four years.
As we have done previously (2009,
2010), we can now again look back on the past year
and see if humanity's decision to continue to ignore
God's Prophet and His Warning is serving them well or
not.
Of course, the answer to this is
clear, as it has been another year filled with
environmental, political, economic, and other disasters
and problems. In fact, it was bad enough this year
that many people have noticed and written about it:
-
A Disastrous Year: 2010 Death Toll Already
Abnormally High: Written just 3 months
into 2010, states that: "In comparison to previous
years, the number of casualties from natural
disasters in 2010, which is already well above
200,000, is outside the norm ... Over the decade
from 2000 to the end of 2009, the yearly average was
78,000, according to the United Nations
International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR).
For the 1990s, the average was 43,000, and the 1980s
was 75,000."
-
The balance of natural disasters in 2010:
295,000 deaths and damages of $130 billion:
"[Disasters in 2010] have caused four times more
victims than the average number of disasters from
1980 until now, respectively 295,000 deaths compared
to 66,000 on average and were more expensive (damage
worth $130 billion compared to an average of $95
billion)."
-
Disasters In 2010: Nine-Tenths Were Severe
Weather-Related Events Linked To Climate Change:
"Munich Re, which is the world’s top re-insurer,
accounted for a total of 950 natural disasters last
year. It makes 2010 the second worst year on record
since 1980. The average number of disasters over the
past 10 years was 785. According to Munich Re, the
average number of natural catastrophes over the past
30 years was 615, with an average fatalities number
standing at 66,000."
-
Mother Nature's Fury: The Disasters of 2010:
"If it seemed the earth was shaking more
dramatically than usual, it was: 20 quakes this year
have been measured at a magnitude of 7.0 or higher.
That's the highest figure in four decades. ... The U.S. has been spared the worst, as is usually
the case. But even here 2010 brought extremes.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has
declared 79 major disasters this year; the annual
average is 34. 'It just seemed like it was
back-to-back and it came in waves,' FEMA chief Craig
Fugate told the AP. 'The term '100-year event'
really lost its meaning this year.'"
With these, it seems humanity may
be waking up more to what is happening around them.
However, most people still seem to see these as flukes
or exceptions, without any long-term meaning. The
truth is, when we view this evidence based on an
understanding of the prophecies, Maitreya's
teachings, and that we are approaching the end times, it
can only be seen as a powerful warning and a trend that
will continue to worsen as long as humanity resists God
and His Ways.
For further evidence that the
tribulation is coming, here is an incomplete list of
some of the largest disasters and problems of the past
12 months (click the links to learn more about each
one):
-
Earthquake in Haiti (over a year ago, but still
very relevant)
-
Eruption of Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland
-
BP oil spill
-
Severe heat waves
across the Northern Hemisphere, especially
in Russia (more on
the effect in Russia)
-
Devastating wildfires in Russia (occurred as a
result of the above heat waves)
-
Extensive flooding in Pakistan
-
An earthquake, tsunami, and volcanic eruption
all within 24 hours of each other in Indonesia
-
Large floods in Queensland, Australia
-
Australia hit by Cyclone Yasi, category 5
hurricane
-
Christchurch, New Zealand hit
by powerful earthquake (see
Snippet)
-
Upheavals and revolutions in
countries across the Middle East and North Africa,
including Tunisia, Egypt, Qatar, Bahrain, Libya,
etc. (more)
-
Many more... (Google "2010
disasters" and "2011 disasters")
In addition to the disasters that
have occurred, we can also see that many things are
happening that could easily lead to much greater
disasters down the road. From the political
upheavals and shifts in Asia and the Middle East, to the
warnings of
future food shortages and crises, to the allegations
that governments are using
dishonest accounting practices to hide their
impending financial ruin, to the precarious state of our
current food system and
how easily it could topple, there
should be no doubt that the world is moving closer to
destruction. Indeed,
The Handwriting Is On The Wall!
Therefore, it is time again to
read the signs and reaffirm our commitment to this
Mission and God's Word. As
always, we spread the teachings in the hope that
humanity will realize they are the Truth and avert the
destruction coming to them, but we also prepare
ourselves for the tribulation that has been prophesied.
Those who come together, sacrifice individual desires
for the good of the group, and create communities based
on God's Laws will be in a much more stable position
than those who hold on to their egos and try to survive
alone.
These signs should also drive home
the importance of keeping the
upcoming Feast of
Passover (and all of God's Feasts and Holy Days).
If you do not keep God's Passover, what reason does He
have to Pass Over you and protect you from the disasters
of the coming year?
Within all this, our trust remains
in God. So let us do God's Will, follow the
teachings of His Prophet, and watch to see what events
this next year will bring. If once again humanity
refuses to listen to The Call, and the disasters
continue to intensify and worsen, we will be
disappointed, but: We will not be surprised.
Note: Less than
12 hours after this Newsbrief was sent out, a
massive magnitude 8.9-9.0 earthquake struck off the
coast of Japan. It is the most powerful earthquake
Japan has ever experienced, and the 7th most powerful in
recorded history. It
unleashed a tsunami of enormous strength onto Japan
which reached up to 6 miles inland (before-and-after
pictures of devastated areas, and
an
incredible video of the tsunami in action); it also
sent tsunamis across the ocean to cause damage as far
away as Santa Cruz, California, USA. The tsunami
that hit Japan has led to explosions and fears of a
possible meltdown at the
Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant (it has
already experienced a partial meltdown), with other
nuclear plants also reported to be experiencing
problems. The death toll is expected to rise
beyond 10,000, with untold thousands (probably millions)
of others injured, displaced, evacuated, and otherwise
affected.
Japan is known to have
one of the most sophisticated earthquake and tsunami
warning and prevention systems in the world.
Despite this, they have been devastated by this
disaster. Considering this, and considering the
timing of the quake (right at the yearly anniversary of
the
Letter to Humanity, and just after this article was
released to humanity), how can this not be seen as
another warning from God? It seems He is saying,
LISTEN, and know that all your man-made protection can
be toppled with one flick of My Finger!
The only true protection from the
tribulation to come is joining this Mission,
accepting God's Prophet, and following God's Ways!
