Peachy The newspaper I searched for some reason listed births, which I also think strange. Maybe they keep track of the birth rate, as well as the death rate. Donald | |||

Peachy and everyone, I would love to think that even if Sela isn't feeling up to posting now, that at least she's been following the incredible developments of the past six weeks. I hope she recognizes Occupy Wall Street as the fulfillment of the prophecy she's been anticipating for well over 40 years now. I believe it means essentially what she predicted, namely the ending of the 5000-year cycle of patriarchal domination. I would love to know she has the satisfaction of witnessing that. But as with everything else, Sela had a tendency to interpret "patriarchy" a bit too narrowly and literally as specifically the dominance of men over women, both individually and culturally. It does mean that, of course, but it's more all-encompassing than that. I understand it as the global culture of power-over as opposed to power-from-within. "Patriarchy" encompasses ALL authoritarian systems of domination backed up by violence or the threat of violence. It has finally reached the end of its run--and good riddance! I realize Sela may not see it that way because she was so much into the Book of Revelation and specific events such as a specific great earthquake, that she believed HAD to happen for conditions to be met. Then there was also her regrettable tendency to always try to pick specific dates just because of the their numerical symmetry (6-6-06; 7-7-07, etc.) and then invariably be proved wrong and get everyone laughing at her...again. I never believed she was wrong--or that the Book of Revelation was wrong, for that matter--in the general outline or "plot" of the End Times which my daughter calls the Great Turning, PROVIDED you didn't try to pin it down to specifics and were willing to take a wait-and-see approach. All I wanted was to be able to recognize it when it happened, and in that I was not disappointed. --Linda ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion.

Linda I finally got to read your note, which is appreciated for its breadth. I have not had any further word from Sela, which indicates to me that she is quite ill still. Regarding the "great earthquake", which I also am looking for, it appears to me that with energy from outer space and other sources that we need to keep in mind high ash-erupting volcanos. The Canary Island seamount has broken the surface of the ocean. The Chilean volcano sent ashes over 8 km high. Vanuatu has quakes in higher numbers and a volcano erupting. Japan off-shore continues to rumble. Eastern Turkey has very focused earthquakes, including a 5M today. Then there is that four football field long asteroid that today passed Earth inside of the Moon's orbit, although Earth was in no immediate danger. See www.spaceweather.com and also note the very remarkable picture of a Northern Light over well lit Alaskan landscape in today's edition. I'm keeping this string open until we know for sure about Sela. Donald | |||

http://www.belleplaineherald.com/obit.html "Lois (Kerkow) Landela, 77, of Prior Lake passed away peacefully at “Our Lady of Peace Home” in St. Paul on January 21, 2012..." Her obit has a picture, shows an extensive family, and mentions her books. She will have a "Celebration of Life". This is our friend and vocal repartee, Sela Juneau. Donald | |||

Thanks, Donald. Can't say it was unexpected but I'm glad it was peaceful.

Now the rebels have killed a Syrian general in Damascus. He was a medical doctor, head of a hospital. Escalation continues, although the number of quakes in Europe/Mediterranean have dramatically decreased, from 240 to 50. There is a lot of media focus on Santorini, the island of the massive volcanic eruption in ancient times. Thera is still active, but at a low level. The quakes around the Aegean Sea are very low magnitude, but continuing. Donald | |||

In the last 24 hours there have been very small earthquakes just off the coast near Portland, Oregon, south of Rome, Italy, and near the island of Crete. Stay tuned, something bigger might happen. Donald P.S. I'm doing this, of course, just in case Sela was talking of more than her demise. | |||

Senator Santorum, a Roman Catholic, is making the Republican race more interesting, and has credentials as a U.S. Senator. Michael Savage gave his last name a wild definition, which I posted as a subject on NEWS forum. Maybe the Pope is back to being an Anti-Christ candidate? With Santorum as his scout, of course. Poor Pope. Stay tuned, Donald | |||

No, he didn't. You're thinking of gay activist Dan Savage, not talk radio host Michael Savage. Michael Savage hates gays more than Santorum. I have no idea what you mean by this. Jeff | |||

Jeff I noticed today that my line above could also apply to Michael Savage's stage name of Savage. I thought that wild when I first heard it some time ago. Maybe he thought Santorum was stealing his style? Donald | |||

CJ* Thanks. Thanks also for leaving the cross-reference. Thanks for not making her an icon. With Putin elected (?) to his third term as President of Russia and the Sun being so quiet, is this year for the Great Earthquake of Revelation 16:18, or Putin-Obama-Out-Of-Business, or Obama-Bam-Bam on Putin (for supporting Iran)?. I suspect most of it will be on i-something, the TV or the pulpit. I pray you can hang on through this year, at least.

CJ* I'll bet she noticed she was 77, a perfect number for the Bride, and just let go. In medicine that is like a "living will", maybe to let the Groom take her, and even possibly on a celestial honeymoon. Notice, however, that she did not trumpet this, which either showed her impossibility to do so, or the God-given choice, as with Moses, to die as she wanted, or both. But, as far as I know, she is up there with "the music of the spheres". Enough. God bless us. Donald | |||

All It is funny how numbers have affected this string. Sela lasted forty+ years after experiencing the 1964 9M quake in Anchorage, AK. I am now at 39 years the end of this month after my disastrous adventure with using the influenza vaccine for neutralization in 1973. I hope that means I have a year left, although it is two years until I become 77. Those are definitely a couple of years to walk with Jesus, considering the times. I'm still working under that contract spelled out in Psalm 23. Donald | |||

What was that? I don't recall ever hearing about it. Neutralization of what? The 1964 Alaska earthquake was a big one, sure--but almost everyone survived it. Fewer than 150 died from it. Sela's survival of it was nothing unusual. What do particular numbers have to do with your or Sela's longevity? I remain mystified about whatever point you're making here. Jeff | |||

Jeff, Forty is a biblical number, used to describe the years of wandering of the Hebrews after the passage from Egypt, from the first generation to the failure to enter the Promised land, and also for the second generation, which finally did. Jesus was tempted in the desert for 40 days about the time he began his ministry. So why after 40 years following major earthquake is this so big? I find it amazing with the health problems Sela and I had individually that we made it to the full stature of the 70 biblical years of man. Now comes Palm Sunday on April Fools Day, to the joy of the unbelieving, which will also see an asteroid pass 0.6 lunar distances from Earth www.spaceweather.com and which is within the weeks of two vertical lunar orbit milestones, each capable of 6M quakes on their own, plus the Moon crossing the Equator going North, which when close to such milestones magnifies quake magnitude and points to such quakes on the later side of those milestones:
The MaxAP is the Moon at its maximum velocity toward its Near Point. The MidAP is the Moon halfway toward the Near Point. These describe the Moon in its orbit around the Earth as it also moves vertically toward and away from the Earth. If it is any comfort, the Moon will not be at its closest monthly Near Point this six months until May. Its well-known orbit will be at its farthest point North on March 28. Current very active regions with earthquakes are offshore Japan, the South Pacific, the Andes of South America, the Mediteranean, especially Greece to Iran, and of course our West Coast to Alaska/Aleutian Islands. If you are interested, USGS provides a past week animation of the earthquakes of the world at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/ear.../recenteqsanim/canv/ The bigger the quake indicator, the bigger the quake. So the watch we started years ago continues for that BIG QUAKE of Revelation 16:18. So far we haven't seen it. More on another aspect in another note. Donald | |||
