Occassionally, once in a while, not very often I look up n the sky and see a shooting star. At that moment it is a wondorous site. The heavenly has suddenly become earthly. The bright shooting star that has streaked just for seconds, burns out in our atmosphere. But.....WHAT IF
What if like in the Perseids meteor storms that appear somewhat annually, they suddenly did not burn up but landed on our lovely Earth and wreaked a havoc unlike anything we had ever seen before? A few years ago we got a taste of just one that streaked across a Russian landscape and city and with a sonic boom, uleashed a force that shattered many buildings glass fronts and many took pictures of the phenomenom. Multiply that and you have.....Revelations the Book of John. At some point in his time spent on exile on Patmos, he was privy to certain Revelations that are downright weird and scary but are posssible. Mountains and Islands that were removed from their place, and a third of stars that fell to Earth are perhaps a natural event we will see though we expect that a benevolent God could not do such a thing? He can and he will because of us. Not him. "His will is that none should perish." In otherwords he has a will that supercedes such an event, but will recant of it to have his way because of us.
Recently also we were spared and event of collision of an Asteroid as big as "something" I forget maybe a small moon from hitting our Earth. Scientists said that it's course was "close" in that 100,000 miles from us was a near miss !!! Wow. Now I consider that on our scale to be far, far way, but scientists do not think like that. They think cosmicly. And so Does our God. Cosmicly we are a creation that exists along with gazillions of other worlds we look at and marvel about that warps our minds if we think about it too much. Revelations warps my mind. And so it did with John, the disciple "Jesus loved" who was allowed to stay longer and not see death as did the other disciples (Peter wanted to know who) and who could not exactly express the heavenly visions he saw and tranlated to the best of his ability. And we get a picture of a heavenly battle and an earthly phenomenoms that are hard to believe. Or are they?
The ring of fire has been active lately.......Katmandu? Too?
