March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Escape from 'biblical floods': Last plane takes off from flooded runway as 22 Australian towns are totally cut offBy Daily Mail Reporter
Third person dies in floodwaters after car was washed off causeway in Aramac
Water levels hit 30ft in some areas as towns are cut off
Police step up patrols in affected towns to prevent looting

Rivers expected to peak tomorrow night, but it could be a month before waters completely recede
This is the last plane taking off from a beleaguered Australian city before rising floodwaters completely cut it off.
Rockhampton has been left completely isolated after water levels rose to 30ft in some places in the worst flooding for a decade.
More than 200,000 people have been displaced and three people have died in Queensland as rising water levels engulf entire towns.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1343624/Australia-flood-Military-flights-rush-emergency-supplies-22-towns-cut-off.html
Military flights have been rushing in emergency supplies to badly affected areas, but floodwaters are not expected to peak until at least tomorrow night.

 
 Rescue: An emergency services worker wades through the Capricorn Highway. Three people have so far been killed in the disaster
The latest victim was a man who drowned earlier today when the car he was travelling in was washed off a flooded causeway in the town of Aramac, central Queensland.
Police said they had also recovered the body of a man who was last seen on Saturday as his boat was swamped by raging river waters in a different part of the state.
And in a separate incident, a 41-year-old woman was swept to her death in front of her family as her car crossed another submerged causeway.
Torrential rains that has fallen since before Christmas has produced floodwaters that now cover an area the size of France and Germany combined in northeastern Queensland.
At least 22 towns and cities have been deluged in the region.
Police in the state said ten other people have drowned in separate incidents involving swollen rivers and water accidents since heavy rains began in late November.
 Prime Minister Julia Gillard has extended emergency relief to those affected, including low-interest loans to farmers to begin cleaning up and get their businesses running again.
'This is a major natural disaster, and recovery will take a significant amount of time,' she said.
'The extent of flooding being experienced by Queensland is unprecedented and requires a national and united response.'
Floodwaters from the Fitzroy River shut the airport at Rockhampton and cut the main road - the Capricorn Highway - to state capital Brisbane.
Hundreds of people have been forced to abandon their homes for relief centres set up on higher ground as waters reached 30ft above normal levels.
 Evacuation: Families are rescued in by emergency services personnel as the town of Rockhampton was all but cut off

  Torrent: Water covers the Capricorn Highway - the main route between Brisbane and Rockhampton
Mayor Brad Carter said 40 per cent of the city could be affected by the surging water and residents could be forced to wait at least two weeks before being able to return home.
Authorities have warned that many rivers are expected to continue rising until late Tuesday.
Supermarkets have been running out of items as residents stock up on food and bottle water.
Acting Defence Minister Warren Snowdon said a C-130 military cargo plane would fly to a town north of Rockhampton carrying food, medical supplies and other items that would then be transported to the city.
Police have increased patrols in flooded towns in a bid to tackle looting.
 Relief: Military aircraft are dropping supplies into affected areas as waters are expected to peak tomorrow

 Impact: Industry and farming has been badly affected by the floods
 Unprecedented: The flooding has hit virtually the whole of Queensland as waters move towards the coast
Rains have now eased, with water levels dropping in some towns, but officials said around 1,000 people were living in evacuation centres and it could be a month before the floodwaters dry up completely.
The floods have caused an estimate $980million (£630million) in damages and badly hit exporting industries including coal mining.
They were caused by cooling 'La Nina' ocean currents that produced monsoon rains over the western Pacific and southeast Asia after months of downpours.

I get the point, but that ain't even close to "biblical"! That's more like a mud puddle when compared to the flooding God can do. Jesus says in everything give thanks, even when your up to your neck in nasty flood waters. Those who call on Jesus and believe will be saved. The rest are on their own.

Genesis 7:

17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

The phrase "Biblical floods Australia" is bit of an exaggeration compared to what really happened in Genesis.

Strange thing is that if a christian tells all and sundry this is part of Gods plans they will be beaten down for saying so, in kind of the same way westbro baptist church is in the US for reminding the sheeple that homosexuality and sodomy are an abomination!.

 I was reminded in my quiet time tonight of a very important lesson-God does not enjoy judgement. We must empathise with folk in their suffering as God does-thats the difference between the real and fake (IMHO) we know that God has not dealt with us as we desever and that leaves us free to touch people through the pain of suffering even if it is via Gods judgement because we know that God  loves them and has done everything possible to avert the disaster...
