3 NEW PLANETS:Solar System Could Gain 3 New Planets
Wednesday, August 16; Posted: 9:42 a.m. (CDT)

(CNN) -- Highly-debated Pluto would keep its planet status, but one of Pluto's moons, Charon could be counted as one of the 12. Ceres, the largest known asteroid in the asteroid belt, and 2003 UB313, the farthest-known object in the solar system, could also be included in the list. Although if the resolution is passed an official name would be given to the unnamed object, a statement from the International Astronomical Union said.Members of the IAU will gather Wednesday in Prague to debate the resolution. The union brings together astronomers from around the globe, some of who have for the past two years worked to define planet.

In July we had vigorous discussions of both the scientific and the cultural/historical issues, and on the second morning several members admitted that they had not slept well, worrying that we would not be able to reach a consensus,Chair of the Planet Definition Committee Owen Gingerich said. But by the end of a long day, the miracle had happened: we had reached a unanimous agreement.Their definition of planet, which is outlined in the resolution, states that first the object must be in orbit around a star, while not being itself a star. Second, the object must be large enough for its own gravity to pull it into a nearly spherical shape.

EZEKIEL 38:1-12
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Israel says Assad has chosen camp of extremism Wed Aug 16, 5:39 AM ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israel has accused Syria of choosing what it called the camp of extremism after its president, Bashar al-Assad, hailed the victory of the Hezbollah militia and ruled out peace talks with Israel. With this speech, Syria has shown that its strategic choice consists in aligning itself with extremists, Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Mark Regev told AFP Wednesday.

Assad gave a hard-hitting speech to the Syrian parliament on Tuesday in which he praised Hezbollah for resisting the massive military offensive launched by Israel against Lebanon on July 12.Regev said Syria formed part of an extremist axis which included the two hardline Palestinian movements Hamas and Islamic Jihad, the Hezbollah militia and Iran.

So long as Syria belongs to this axis, no reasonable person will be able to treat it as part of the peace camp, Regev said.

Assad lashed out at western powers in his speech and said he did not expect peace with the Jewish state any time soon.

Peace would involve Israel returning occupied lands to their owners and restoring their rights, Assad said. Israel is an enemy founded on the basis of aggression and hegemony.Israel says Syria has armed and supported the Hezbollah militia in its conflict with the Jewish state, which seized the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967 and annexed them in 1981.Damascus says it gives only moral support to Hezbollah.

Hizbullah: ‘Not Obligated’ by Resolution 1701

Hizbullah terror leaders said Tuesday night on the organization’s al-Manar TV station that the group is not obligated by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 to comply with ceasefire terms.The U.N. decision does not obligate us and it does not have weight with us,said deputy chief terrorist Sheikh Naim Qassam. What Israel did not succeed in taking during war, it will not succeed with diplomacy and politics.The resolution which numerates the conditions for the ceasefire between Israel and the terror organization in southern Lebanon calls for Hizbullah to be disarmed by the Lebanese government.

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;(MASS CONFUSION) 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.

What did DR Samuel Doctorian get revealed to him by the Angel of ASIA. Look and compare to this article.

DR SAMUEL DOCTORIAN (FIRST ANGEL OF ASIA)

The first angel said: I have a message for all of Asia.When he said that, in a spilt few seconds, I could see all of China, India, the Asian countries like Vietnam, Laos - I've never been to those countries. I saw the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. And then the angel showed me all of Papua New Guinea, Irian Jaya and down to Australia and New Zealand.

I am the angel of Asia,he said. And in his hand I saw a tremendous trumpet that he is going to blow all over Asia. Whatever the angel said, it's going to happen with the trumpet of the Lord all over Asia. Millions are going to hear the mighty voice of the Lord. Then the angel said, There shall be disaster, starvation - many will die from hunger. Strong winds will be looked like has never happened before. A great part shall be shaken and destroyed. Earthquakes will take place all over Asia and the sea will cover the earth.

The earth will fall into the sea, I heard the angel say, part of Australia will be shaken. Australia will be divided, and a great part will go under the ocean. This was frightening - I wondered whether I was hearing right. But the angel said,Millions will die in China and in India. Nation will be against nation, brother against brother. Asians will fight each other. Nuclear weapons shall be used, killing millions. Twice I heard the words, Catastrophic! Catastrophic! then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.

I was trembling while the angel was speaking. Then he looked at me and smiled and said, There shall be the greatest spiritual awakening - bondage will be broken. Barriers will be removed. And all over Asia - China - India - people will turn to Christ. In Australia there shall be tremendous revival. I heard the angel of Asia say, It is the last harvest.Then as if the Lord were speaking, he said, I shall prepare My church for the return of Christ.I was happy with such good news after the message of judgment. All the time the five angels were in my room I could feel their presence - it was tremendous.

Warming reportedly behind China's killer typhoons
AFP , BEIJING Tuesday, Aug 15, 2006,

Global warming is contributing to an unusually harsh typhoon season in China that started around a month early and has left thousands dead or missing, government officials and experts said.The natural disasters caused by typhoons in our country have been many this year, the head of the China Meteorological Administration, Qin Dahe, said in recent comments on his organization's Web site.Against the backdrop of global warming, more and more strong and unusual climatic and atmospheric events are taking place,he said.The strength of typhoons are increasing, the destructiveness of typhoons that have made landfall is greater and the scope in which they are travelling is farther than normal, he said.The vice minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, E. Jingping, also spoke last week about the unusual ferocity, frequency and earliness of typhoons in China this year.

He said the typhoon season in China normally starts around July 27, but this year the first typhoon hit the southern province of Guangdong on May 18.This is the earliest typhoon to hit Guangdong since 1949, he said in a speech.Natural disasters in China this year have killed 1,699 people and left 415 missing, the nation's Red Cross Society said last week.More than 1,300 of those died in weather-related incidents from May to the end of last month, the government reported earlier.Those reports came before the arrival on last Thursday of Saomai, the eighth typhoon of the season and the strongest to hit China in 50 years.Saomai killed at least 214 people, mostly in the two eastern coastal provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian, according to figures released yesterday.The president of the Washington-based Earth Policy Institute, Lester Brown said that the weather in China over the past few months was reflective of the worldwide extent of the problem of global warming.The emerging consensus in the scientific community is that higher temperatures bring more frequent and more destructive storms, Brown said.Our seasons seem to be beginning earlier and ending later, he said.According to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the earth's average temperature has risen by 0.8?C since 1970, he said.But this is only the beginning of what the UN's International Panel on Climate Change believes will be a rise in temperature for this century of 1.4?C to 5.8?C.

Just imagine what typhoons and hurricanes might be like in the future,Brown said.Simply put, the storms are caused when warmer oceanic and atmospheric currents interact with cooler currents in tropic and sub-tropical regions, experts say.Many of the cooler oceanic currents stem from the melting of the polar ice caps that is occurring due to rising global temperatures, said Edwin Lau, who monitors global warming at Friends of the Earth in Hong Kong.The hurricanes and typhoons are due to hot air rising... and the hotter the air, the spinning of the hurricanes is faster, picking up more water,Lau said.Meanwhile, as some areas of China are hit by more typhoons and the resulting floods, other areas are suffering from intense drought, which experts say is another by-product of global warming.In a landmark report in the mid-1990s, the UN panel on climate change predicted that global warming would leave southern China drenched with more rains, while the north and west of the country would suffer worsening droughts.In Sichuan Province, directly to the west of where much of the devastation from the typhoons has occurred, nearly seven million people are currently inurgent need of drinking water due to a severe drought, state press said on Friday.In the southwestern city of Chongqing, the drought is beginning to threaten the water supply for about 17 million people, according to another state press report.

FACTBOX-Climate change predictions for Asia
14 Aug 2006 06:18:17 GMT,Source: Reuters

August 14 (Reuters) - Asia, home to more than half the world's 6.3 billion people, could be badly affected by climate change, many experts warn, as the predicted rising sea levels, melting glaciers, droughts, floods, and food and water shortages take their toll.
Here is an overview of how climate change might affect Asia:

TROPICAL STORMS:

- The western Pacific already experiences more typhoons than any other part of the world. Scientists fear Asia will be hit by more frequent and severe storms, the U.S. Climate Institute says.

- While nations like Japan, Korea and Taiwan can afford better protection, others around the Bay of Bengal such as Bangladesh probably will not, and their flat, dense settlements already make them badly susceptible to cyclones.

RISING SEA LEVELS

- India and Bangladesh will have to draw up permanent relocation plans for millions of people as sea levels rise. Around 15 percent of Bangladesh would be under water if the sea level rose by a metre in the next century, a leading climatologist said last year. Japan's major coastal cities, and island nations are also threatened.

- Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia and China, could suffer sharp cuts in their gross domestic product because of rising sea levels, the World Bank said in April 2006.

MELTING GLACIERS, SCARCE WATER

- Glaciers around the world have been retreating since the 1850s, as the climate has warmed. Around 67 percent of Asia's Himalayan glaciers in Nepal, west China and north India, are now melting more rapidly because of global warming, conservation group the WWF said in a March 2005 report.

- Their melting poses a major threat to the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia and parts of China, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says.

- Water scarcity will worsen because seven of Asia's main rivers, including the Ganges, Indus, Brahmaputra and the Mekong, begin in the Himalayas. Summer glacial meltwater is crucial to hundreds of millions of people downstream, who rely on it for irrigation and hydroelectric power.

- Asia already has 60 percent of the world's population but only 36 percent of the globe's freshwater, the UN World Food Programme has said.

DESERTIFICATION AND DROUGHTS

- Northern China, already threatened by the advance of Mongolia's Gobi desert, faces the further loss of arable land to desertification. Warmer winters and less rainfall make topsoil more susceptible to being blown away by strong winds.

- Over a quarter of China's huge landmass is classified as desert, and up to 400 million people are threatened by fast-advancing deserts, Greenpeace said in 2003.

EXTINCTION OF SPECIES

- Climate-related risks to Asia's rich array of species are climbing. As many as 1,250 of India's 15,000 higher plant species are threatened, and similar trends are evident in China, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand, the IPCC said in 2001.

- Many of Asia's mammals and birds are likely to be wiped out because of the combined effects of climate change and habitat fragmentation, the IPCC says.
