THE FLOOD - REPOPULATION - 1ST WORLD GOVERNMENT IN THE BIBLE

In LAST weeks Bible scripture reading in Israel we see the Flood occurs. Noah is to build an Ark.

GENESIS 6:14-18
Verse 14: Make for yourself an ark of cedar wood. Make the ark into compartments and caulk the inside and outside with tar.
Verse 15: This is how you should make it; the ark's length shall be three hundred amohs, its width fifty amohs and its height thirty amohs.
Verse 16: Make a skylight for the ark, and finish it to one amoh at the top. Place the opening of the ark in its side. Make a lower deck, a second and a third deck.
Verse 17: Behold I am bringing the flood waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh in which there is the breath of life, from under the heavens. Everything that is on the land will perish.
Verse 18: I will establish my covenant with you. You shall go into the ark, you, your sons, your wife and your son's wives, with you.

The Ark is made and for the next year the flood Occurs and dry land prevails.

GENESIS 7:6,11-12,20-24
Verse 6: Noach was six hundred years old when the flood waters were on the earth.
Verse 11: In the six hundredth year of Noach's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day, all the wellsprings of the great deep, burst open, and the windows of the heavens were opened.
Verse 12: There was rain on the earth forty days and forty nights.
Verse 20: Fifteen amohs above them [the mountains] did the waters prevail and they covered the mountains.
Verse 21: All flesh that moved on the earth perished; birds, animals, beasts, and all creeping creatures that creep on the earth and every man.
Verse 22: All that has a breath of the spirit of life--- everything on dry land---died.
Verse 23: [He] obliterated every being that was on the surface of the ground; from man to animals, to creeping creatures, and to the birds of the heaven. They were obliterated from the earth. Only Noach and those with him in the ark survived.
Verse 24: The waters prevailed over the earth for one hundred and fifty days.

GENESIS 8:3-6,10
Verse 3: The water receded from the earth continually, and the waters diminished at the end of one hundred and fifty days.
Verse 4: The ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
Verse 5: The waters continued to diminish until the tenth month. In the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the mountaintops became visible.
Verse 6: At the end of forty days, Noach opened the window of the ark which he had made.
Verse 10: He waited another seven days, and once again sent the dove out of the ark.
Verse 12: He waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove; it did not return to him again.
Verse 13: It was in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that the water on earth [began] to dry. Noach removed the covering of the ark. He looked and behold the surface of the ground had dried.
Verse 14: In the second month, on the twenty seventh day of the month, the earth was [completely] dry.

Now we get to the repopulation of Earth and God's promise that the earth and all things would never again be totally destroyed by water.

GENESIS 8:15-22
Verse 15: El-him spoke to Noach, saying,
Verse 16: Depart from the ark, yourself and your wife, your sons, and your son's wives with you.

Verse 21: Ad-noy smelled the pleasing fragrance, and Ad-noy said in His heart, Never again will I curse the ground because of man, for the inclination of man's heart is evil from [the time of] his youth. I will never again smite every living thing as I have done.
Verse 22: So long as the earth exists, seed-time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never be suspended.

Weakening Noel parallels US coast By JESSICA ROBERTSON, Associated Press Writer Sat Nov 3, 6:18 AM ET

NASSAU, Bahamas - Hurricane Noel, the deadliest storm to hit the Atlantic this year, paralleled the U.S. coast on Friday, losing strength as it headed north towards Nova Scotia. Noel slammed the Caribbean earlier this week with heavy rains that caused flooding and mudslides, leaving 118 dead, officials said.After drenching the Bahamas and Cuba on Thursday, the Category 1 hurricane's sustained winds were at 80 mph on Friday and its center was about 425 miles south of Cape Hatteras, N.C., the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Noel is moving to the north-northeast at about 17 mph, but was expected to pick up speed.

Jack Beven, a hurricane specialist at the center, said Friday that we don't expect the center to cross the U.S. coast. The track would take the center of the system over Nova Scotia.But Beven also noted that the storm is going to increase rather significantly in size and that its effects could be felt in the U.S. Forecasters say 2 to 4 inches of rain could fall in North Carolina's Outer Banks, while isolated areas of New England might see 6 inches.On Thursday, muddy rain-swollen waters overflowed a dam in Cuba, washing into hundreds of homes, over highways and knocking out electricity and telephone service. Dozens of small communities were cut off.Cuban soldiers went door-to-door in low-lying areas and evacuated about 24,000 people, according to state radio and television reports. At least 2,000 homes were damaged by flood waters, but there was no official word of deaths.In Ciego de Avila province in central Cuba, flooding wiped out nearly 2,000 tons of corn, potato, banana, cucumber and tomato harvests, said Jose Ramon Machado Ventura, a vice president.The storm brought a record 15 inches of rain to the Bahamas, Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham said. Flooding killed at least one man in the Bahamas and forced the evacuation of almost 400 people. Ingraham said the majority of the evacuees were from the northeast Bahamian island of Abaco.Residents of Andros Island, one of the least-developed in the Bahamas, hunkered down as Noel's winds howled and rain pelted windowpanes.The walls were rattling, but we rode it out pretty well, said Angela Newton, who was waiting Thursday for the power to come back on.

Rescuers in Dominican Republic took off in helicopters and boats to reach isolated residents for the first time in three days. Hundreds of volunteers joined Dominican civil defense forces to help stranded residents, as rescue teams left at dawn Thursday — many in boats loaned by private owners.More than three days of heavy rain caused an estimated $30 million in damages to the Dominican Republic's rice, plantain and cacao plantations, said Minister of Economy Juan Temistocles Montas. Government officials will request loans from the Inter-American Development Bank to help with the recovery.Rescuers in Hispaniola, the island shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti, found a rising toll of death and damage: at least 73 dead in the Dominican Republic and 43 in Haiti, where the majority of bodies were found in and around the capital of Port-au-Prince. One person was killed in Jamaica. Associated Press writers Ramon Almanzar in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and Jonathan M. Katz in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, contributed to this report.

Thousands flee flooded Mexican city By Luis Manuel Lopez
Fri Nov 2, 5:27 PM ET

VILLAHERMOSA, Mexico (Reuters) - Thousands of people fled a Mexican city devastated by floods on Friday after rising waters burst through sandbag barriers in a disaster that has left most of the tropical state of Tabasco under water. Hundreds of thousands of people have been made homeless and one person killed in the worst flooding the low-lying swampy state has seen in more than 50 years.The banks of the Grijalva River, which winds through state capital Villahermosa, burst earlier this week after days of heavy rains.People and livestock swam through the streets on Friday after a murky, brown deluge burst through sandbags in Villahermosa, home to around half a million people.Hungry and thirsty residents stood in long lines at supermarkets, although some stores closed after running out of food, water and medicine.

There isn't much on the shelves, and what is left is very expensive, said Juan Pablo Rosas.The army evacuated most of the city center on Thursday night after a levee broke.President Felipe Calderon said Mexico's entire air force was engaged in an airlift to ferry supplies into Villahermosa and get residents out. He called on private airlines to help the effort.We are in a critical situation, Calderon said during a visit to the region.He said army troops and federal police would soon be patrolling the streets to prevent looting and price gouging.

GOVERNMENT SURPISED

Interior Minister Francisco Ramirez acknowledged the disaster took the government by surprise.The event overwhelmed everyone and that's why we all have to work intensely, he said. The city center was under between 6 1/2 feet and 19 feet of water.Rescue workers broke windows of homes to reach stranded residents. Thousands fled in military helicopters or private trucks.When will this finish? said resident Maria de la Luz Robles. This is chaotic and depressing.Tabasco Gov. Andres Granier said more than 1 million people, about half of the state's population, were affected by the flooding. Scores called local radio programs pleading to be rescued. Many shelters were evacuated after floodwaters overtook them.Navy helicopters rescued scores of people on Friday morning from the village of El Aguacate. They had gathered on a tiny plot of high land as flood waters rose around them.Water half-covered several giant carved stone heads built by the Olmecs, the mother culture of Mesoamerica, at Tabasco's La Venta archeological site. Some of the heads are more than 9 feet tall. The floods were triggered by storms that have wreaked havoc in the oil industry along Mexico's Gulf coast but the main oil port of Coatzacoalcos opened on Friday after closing earlier in the week due to the bad weather.

EARTH DESTROYED WITH THE EARTH

GENESIS 6:11-13
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.(WORLD TERRORISM,MURDERS)
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 (TERRORISM) through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Pipe bomb locks down Ariz. nuclear plant By CHRIS KAHN and AMANDA LEE MYERS, Associated Press Writer Sat Nov 3, 7:40 AM ET

WINTERSBURG, Ariz. - As authorities tried to understand why a contract worker would bring a pipe bomb to the nation's largest nuclear power plant, one thing was immediately clear: The security worked. Guards stopped Roger William Hurd, 61, at the entrance to the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station when they spotted the bomb. He was detained about a half mile from the containment domes where the nuclear material is stored. Officials pulled his security clearances and placed the facility on lockdown.The guards were attentive and alert and took the appropriate action when they identified something suspicious, said Victor Dricks, a spokesman for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which will review the incident.Doug Walters, senior director of security for the Nuclear Energy Institute, the industry's trade group, said Palo Verde's response was exactly as it should have been.

We have a checkpoint for this reason, Walters said. They were able to identify a suspicious item in the truck. I don't know what they could have done differently.The Department of Homeland Security said there was no known terrorism link to the incident at Palo Verde. Hurd, of Goodyear, Ariz., told investigators he did not know how the bomb got in his truck and was released Friday afternoon.Authorities described the device as a six-inch capped explosive made of galvanized pipe that contained suspicious residue. Tom Mangan, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said it was likely homemade.
If this thing went off in the bed of the truck, it certainly would put a hole in it, Mangan said. It was rather crude in construction, but it could certainly injure somebody.Capt. Paul Chagolla with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said the pipe was not hidden. He said Hurd normally drove a motorcycle to work but was in a truck Friday because of the cool weather.

Sheriff's officials rendered the device safe.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said investigators searched Hurd's home but found nothing helpful. Hurd was not arrested, and Arpaio said he expects Hurd to help with the investigation.Nobody answered the door at Hurd's apartment in Goodyear. Messages left by The Associated Press at numbers listed for Hurd in Arizona and Hartsville, S.C., were not returned as of late Friday night.Hurd worked as a procurement engineer, responsible for evaluating equipment purchases for the plant, Palo Verde officials said.He had access to protected areas but had not been in any such area since Aug. 21, said Randy Edington, the chief nuclear officer for plant operator Arizona Public Service Co.Edington said Hurd would have had access to the reactors but officials did not know the last time he would have been near the reactors.The incident was considered an unusual event — the lowest of four emergencies the plant can declare, said Jim Melfi, an inspector with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.There was no threat to the public and the station operated normally Friday, McDonald said.McDonald wouldn't say which company employed Hurd. Like everyone who has access to the plant, Hurd submitted to a background check.

Workers also must pass through two security checkpoints to get inside one of the plant's three containment domes, which house the radioactive nuclear material. One of the checkpoints includes an automated system that sniffs workers for the presence of bomb-making materials, McDonald said. Palo Verde, operated by Arizona Public Service Co., is the nation's largest nuclear power plant both in size and capacity. Located in Wintersburg about 50 miles west of downtown Phoenix, the plant supplies electricity to about 4 million customers in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and California.

Comet draws scientific, amateur interest Sat Nov 3, 12:57 AM ET

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - A comet that has unexpectedly brightened in the past couple of weeks and now is visible to the naked eye is attracting professional and amateur interest. Paul Lewis, director of astronomy outreach at the University of Tennessee, is drawing students to the roof of Nielsen Physics Building for special viewings of Comet 17P/Holmes.The comet is exploding and its coma, a cloud of gas and dust illuminated by the sun, has grown to be bigger than the planet Jupiter. The comet lacks the tail usually associated with such celestial bodies but can be seen in the northern sky, in the constellation Perseus, as a fuzzy spot of light about as bright as the stars in the Big Dipper.This is truly a celestial surprise, Lewis said. Absolutely amazing.

Until Oct. 23, the comet had been visible to modern astronomers only with a telescope, but that night it suddenly erupted and expanded.A similar burst in 1892 led to the comet's discovery by Edwin Holmes.This is a once-in-a-lifetime event to witness, along the lines of when Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 smashed into Jupiter back in 1994, Lewis said.Scientists speculate the comet has exploded because there are sinkholes in its nucleus, giving it a honeycomb-like structure. The collapse exposed comet ice to the sun, which transformed the ice into gas.What comets do when they are near the sun is very unpredictable, Lewis said. We expect to see a coma cloud and a tail, but this is more like an explosion, and we are seeing the bubble of gas and dust as it expands away from the center of the blast.Experts aren't sure how long the comet's show will last, but estimate it could be weeks — if not months. Using a telescope or binoculars help bring the comet's details into view, they said.Information from: The Knoxville News Sentinel, http://www.knoxnews.com
