MUDSLIDES KILL POSSIBLY 1700

The Bible says that the Earth would be destroyed by the earth. And that the Sea would be roaring in the last age.

Genesis 6:11-13
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Luke 21:25-26
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;
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.

Notice it says the powers of the heaven will be shaken. Well that is global warming, yesterday here in Owen Sound we had a thunder storm in winter. 1ST TIME I ever seen that in my 45 years.

And heres what Jacqui Jeras and Femi Oke from CNN the weather Ladyies have to say Just today as I write this story.

It starts out with Femi Oke being asked by the 2 hosts of your world today. Now more weather related news, I mean we have seen the mudslide, the drought in Kenya but also something else.

Femi Replys And in recent years once we have been able to put together a number of extreme weather stories. People keep asking what is going on in the world? Is this Global Warming? So the debate over global warming is certainly heating up. And for many the facts are already clear.

A new study for instance suggests that the Glaciers in Greenland are melting faster into the Atlantic Ocean. And if this is in fact happening, sea levels are rising. Then Jacui does a story on the Glaciers in Greenland.

Then Jacui says after the story. And the reason why all this is so important is because if that continues to happen it could affect weather patterns all across the globe. As that fresh water is released into the Ocean, it can change the amount of salt in the water and also can affect the temperature.

Those two things could change the cerculation of the Ocean currents. And that could have a dramatic impact on the weather in the United states and all across the globe.

Well the bible says the earth will be destroyed by the earth and it would be worldwide, The sea and the waves roaring (Oceans), and the powers of the heavens shakin (weird weather patterns and destruction worldwide because of it) Because mens hearts are failing them for fear of whats happening in the weather patterns.

So it just won't be world terrorism, this global warming will come to pass because in another passage it says if the day light hours were not shortened no flesh would be saved. The Summers will get hotter, the winters worse and in between every human weather disaster will occur, known and unknown.

Matthew 24:29
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:

Revelation 16:8-9
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

Mudslide wipes out Philippine village; 23 confirmed dead, 1,500 missing

PAUL ALEANDER Fri Feb 17, 8:27 AM ET MANILA, Philippines (AP) - A rain-soaked mountainside disintegrated into a torrent of mud, swallowing hundreds of houses
and an elementary school in the eastern Philippines on Friday. Officials said 23 people were confirmed dead, but 1,500 were missing and there were fears the death toll might soar.

It sounded like the mountain exploded, and the whole thing crumbled," survivor Dario Libatan told Manila radio DZMM. "I could not see any house standing anymore."

The farming village of Guinsaugon on Leyte island, 675 kilometres southeast of Manila, was virtually wiped out, with only a few jumbles of corrugated steel sheeting left to show that the community of some 2,500 people ever existed.

Two other villages also were affected, and about 3,000 evacuees were at a municipal hall.
"We did not find injured people," said Ricky Estela, a crewman on a helicopter that flew a politician to the scene. "Most of them are dead and beneath the mud."

The mud was so deep - up to nine metres in some places - and unstable that rescue workers had difficulty approaching the school. Education officials said 200 students, six teachers and the principal were believed to have been there.

Senator Richard Gordon, head of the Philippine Red Cross, issued the casualty estimates and made an international appeal for aid. The provincial governor asked for people to dig by hand, saying the mud was too soft for heavy equipment.

There appeared to be little hope for finding many survivors, and only 53 were extricated from the brown morass before dark halted rescue efforts for the night, officials said.
"It was like the whole village was wiped out," said air force spokesman Lt.-Col. Restituto Padilla.
Aerial TV footage showed a wide swath of mud amid stretches of rice paddies at the foothills of the now-scarred mountain, where survivors blamed illegal logging for contributing to the disaster.

Rescue workers dug with shovels for signs of survivors, and put a child on a stretcher, with little more than the girl's eyes showing through a covering of mud."Let us all pray for those who perished and were affected by this tragedy," President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said in a
statement.

Gordon appealed for U.S. troops, in the country for joint military exercises, to send helicopters to the disaster site. The U.S. Embassy said a U.S. naval vessel was en route to the disaster area and Philippine disaster officials were being consulted on coordinating chopper deployment.
Volunteers from nearby provinces were quickly being joined by groups of troops being ferried in by helicopter, with more en route by sea.

Army Capt. Edmund Abella said he and about 30 soldiers from his unit were soaking wet from wading through mud up to their waists. Flash floods also were inundating the area, and the rumble of a secondary landslide sent rescuers scurrying for safety."The people said the ground suddenly shook, then a part of the mountain collapsed onto the village," Abella told The AP by
cellphone. "Some houses were carried by the mudflow, some were destroyed and other were buried.

"It's very difficult, we're digging by hand, the place is so vast and the mud is so thick. When we try to walk, we get stuck in the mud." He said the troops had just rescued a 43-year-old woman. "She was crying and looking for her three nephews, but they were nowhere to be found," Abella said.

While the official death toll was only 23, Gov. Rosette Lerias of Southern Leyte province told radio DZBB that 500 houses in Guinsaugon were feared buried in the mudslide that followed two weeks of almost non-stop rain. The elementary school was in session when the landslide struck between 9 and 10 a.m., and about 100 people were visiting the village for a women's group meeting.

"The ground has really been soaked because of the rain," Lerias said of downpours blamed on the La Nina weather phenomenon. "The trees were sliding down upright with the mud."
She said more than a square kilometre was covered in thick mud that remained unstable.
"Our communication line was cut because our people had to flee because the landslide appeared to be crawling," Lerias said.

Representative Roger Mercado, who represents Southern Leyte, said the mud covered coconut trees and damaged the national highway leading to the village. Lerias said many residents evacuated the area last week due to the threat of landslides or flooding, but had started returning home during increasingly sunny days, with the rains limited to evening downpours.

In November 1991, about 6,000 people were killed on Leyte in floods and landslides triggered by a tropical storm. Another 133 people died in floods and mudslides there in December 2003.
