End of the Nature Countdown: One Day Left


This is it, people. It’s Friday, and the creation we’ve known is approach to an end tomorrow — May 21. That’s according to the presage of Harold Camping, about which we’ve been penmanship each day.

Our concatenation started with Creation Ends Next Week. Goodbye Everyone! Then we began posting diurnal updates. See: End of the Creation Countdown: Five Days Left, then Four Days Left, then Three Days Left. Yesterday we situated Two Days Left.

To put in remembrance you yet again about what we are told is approach, Camping’s Household Radio website informs us that on 21 May:

A herculean earthquake will be met with. … This earthquake will be so potent it will hurl free all graves. The refuse of the all the believers who have ever lived will be instantly transformed into glorified ethereal bodies to be forever with God.


On the other palm and fingers the bodies of all unsaved race will be thrown out upon the loam to be shamed. The inhabitants who live on this dreadful earthquake will be in a nature of dismay and primeval matter beyond delineation. Each day race will die until October 21, 2011 when God will completely throw down this terraqueous orb and its surviving inhabitants.

That’s the augury. A lot of race are still in controverting fashion, which is understandable. But when the terraqueous orb starts to shudder it will be too long delayed to re-evaluate your life. It may already be too long delayed; how you feel of these last hours is up to you.

Today we be permanent our pawn to bear you information from around the nature to keep you informed about how race are reacting to the advent End of Days. The fearless baptismal vessel in all the excerpts was added by us.

Starting with the underside of the nature, the New Zealand Crier carries this heading: Beatitude or none, it could be a big day. It says:


There is a show in Martin Scorsese’s pellicle The Departed where Jack Nicholson’s felony kingpin asks after another man’s female parent. “She’s on the way out,” he answers dolefully. “We all are,” snarls Jack. “Act accordingly.”

[...]

I turned on the telly last darkness, and there was a man corroding frogs. It is compact not to bring to an end that civilisation is tortuosity down.

[...]

A lot can turn up in a day of course, and a day can be a lengthy duration, as anyone who’s ever sat through one in a hospital bed, or in a penitentiary small room may attest. And if there is a day left to us, just one day, then comes the undying interrogation – what will you do with yours?

[...]

Make it number tomorrow. Do all the things that body to you, do nothing else. Scrawl culture, effuse secrets, make declarations, clutch your darling in your means of offence and defence.


That was strict. As lengthy as we’re down there, let’s go to Sydney, Australia. Something called intelligence.com.au has this portion: Nature prepares for the end of the nature as we know it. It says:

For some, it’s Common-sense Day. For others, it’s combination duration. A loosely organised Disciple of christ change has stretch the expression term around the sphere that Jesus The mediator will go or come back to sphere on Saturday (Sunday AEST) to draw together the loyal into vault of heaven. While the Disciple of christ mainstream isn’t buying it, many other skeptics are milking it.

In Vietnam, the portent has led to unrest involving thousands of members of the Hmong heathen nonage who gathered near the margin with Laos earlier this month to abide the May 21 occurrence. The conduct, which has a drawn out narrative of suspicion with heathen hilltribe groups like the Hmong, arrested an unidentified reckon of “extremists” and dispersed a herd of about 5000.

No such signs of harassing labor are to be seen in the US, though many mainstream Christians aren’t blessed with the mindfulness the augury is getting. They pass over the general or universal conception that a era for the end seasons can be calculated, if not the principle of the Beatification itself.


Hopping more than to Asia, in the Pakistan Diurnal Spells we peruse Creation to end on Saturday, say New York preachers. We’re having disorder with that bond now, which is monitory. Anyway, their branch says:

All more than New York, preachers armed with T-shirts, brochures, books and posters are preaching the end of the creation. Using a mingled numerical reckoning from the The scriptures, there are even advertisements on the New York incorporated town subway caution of the “great earthquake” that accompanies the appearing of Judgement Day.

[...]

Nearby the knee where Manny [a way preacher] is prophesying [that on Saturday, May 21, the creation will end], Borce, 43, is handing out leaflets and explaining to anyone who will prick up the ears that they have a few hours left to fall in with rescue.

“Right now there is still rescue, but when May 21st gonna come, the rescue program is completed, God gonna close up the entrance, and after that only five months continue for the unsaved of the creation, and they’re gonna be endurance and on the 21st October, God gonna overturn this creation with combustion,” Borce said.


The New York Seasons, in From Oakland to the Cosmos, Language of Caution: Time’s Up, tells us:

Inside the sprawling, napless Oakland headquarters of [Harold Camping's] Parents and children Radio Worldwide the pole has prepared for the end of the cosmos this weekend — and it appears they mean it. “There’s so little duration left,” a smiling somewhat advanced in life woman said, hugging a assistant.

[...]

[The revenues of Camping's instrumentality agency] are anything but downscale: an occurring once a year package of $36.7 a thousand thousand in 2009, according to the organization’s most recent IRS monetary revelation filings. As a nonprofit, trading-unrestrained broadcasting action, the instrumentality agency is supported by listener donations — $18.3 a thousand thousand in 2009 alone.

The IRS records revealed $34 a thousand thousand in investments, $56 a thousand thousand in estate and $29 a thousand thousand in mortgages. Mr. Camping believed no wages in 2009 — in thing done, he loaned the instrumentality agency $175,516 that year. On Monday he said he was draining instrumentality agency reserves to pay for the May 21 campaign.

Expensive Miser: I’m looking forward to the Ravishment, but I am so very worried about the Octomom. What will turn up to her pl of child when she is raptured? There’s going to be a lot of cannibalism after the Ravishment. Try not to think about it.

Expensive Miser: All the paintings I’ve seen of the Ravishment display the saved race floating gently above those who are left behind. I can’t hold up the contemplation of those godless race looking up my flap as I go up to celestial sphere. I decline to have on pants because that wouldn’t be refined. What should I do? This is indeed a serious puzzle, but your difficulty should be brief. After that you will have all of in its various senses to laughter at the sinners as they distort in acute distress.

That’s all we have for now. Earthquakes may be expected at any duration. And soon the graves will begin to gape free. We’ll keep monitoring the station as drawn out as provisions let. Stay tuned to this blog if you can, but we consternation that this may be the last installment in our End of the Universe Countdown course.

Seven Wonders of the World


Seven Wonders of the World (or the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World) is a list of the most famous sights of the ancient culture. The first idea for the collection of the wonders of the ancient world in a list can be said that Herodotus, who impressed by the pyramids of Egypt and Babylon, believes that the most significant achievements of the people in that time.
Wonders, which we know were first described and assessed the greatest human creations by Antipater of Sidon, who was chief librarian at the Library of Alexandria. Later there were several other listed and offers can be added to many other attractions such as the Coliseum, the Capitol, Noah's Ark, but in the end we all know that is the list of Antipater. A little known fact is that what we now call "miracles" in the first list are called sights things to see.
Egyptian pyramids are the only surviving of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. They sometimes include the Great Sphinx of Giza.
By "Egyptian pyramids" are often given only three pyramids of Cheops, and Hefren Mikerin. They are arranged in a line. Chief architect and superintendent of construction is Haemon, relative of Khufu. The pyramids are located on the west bank of the Nile, the Memphis necropolis. Ancient Egyptians believed that this was the land of death because the sun sets in the west. Their homes were erected on the east bank of the river.
The biggest pyramid of Cheops (Khufu), 147 m in height It has an area of 229 m2 and is almost completely preserved. Missing and marble and tip. Pyramid Hefren (Hafra, Hafre) is lower and that of Mikerin (Menkaure) is quite modest. Of the three, only the Pyramids of Hefren still part of the original marble. They are built of large stone blocks weighing an average of two tons. It is believed that it was built over 20 years and the building and was completed in 2580 BC according to one theory.
Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was obviously impressive building. Philo of Byzantium writes - "I've seen the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Pyramids and the Temple of Mausolus, but when I saw the temple at Ephesus to soar in the clouds, all other things faded."
Hanging Gardens of Babylon, also known as the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis are the third of the seven wonders of the world. And to this day, are not found. They were probably built in the city of Babylon, which was situated on the territory of present-day Iraq.
Most evidence suggests that they have built around 575 BC by King Nebuchadnezzar II, who ruled the city 43 years, starting in 605 BC Another theory states that were built by the Assyrian Queen Semiramis during her five years management (810 BC) represent terraced and irrigated gardens. According to legend, Nebuchadnezzar built them, lest misses his spouse - Persian Princess Amitis, who is originally from the mountains. Nil exactly where they were located. Discovered after excavation finds in Nineveh, a city in northern Iraq, tablets depicting palm trees on the roofs of houses in driving professionals to explore the possibility gardens have been located in Babylon - a city used as shorthand for the most settlements in the East.
Alexandria lighthouse is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built around 240 BC on the island of Pharos, near Alexandria in Egypt. Light that is radiation has come from a big fire in his heart, which, thanks to a system of mirrors is reflected into the sea. An earthquake in 1375, the lighthouse was destroyed. Today there stands the fortress Kait Bey.
Mausoleum of Halicarnassus was a huge tomb built by the king of Caria Mausolus and his wife Queen Artemisia. It was built in 353 BC A solid temple surrounded by 36 Ionic columns. Halicarnassus is today Bodrum (Turkey). E Mausoleum was 45 meters tall (135 feet). He was richly decorated with reliefs and sculptures of the four famous Greek artists - Scopas, Leohar, Timothy and Briaksis. The British Museum displays many fragments thereof, as two statues are supposed to be the very Mausolus and Artemisia.
The word "mausoleum" derives from the name of Mausolus and is used today to refer to a large tomb which live access.
Colossus of Rhodes was a bronze statue of the sun god Helios. It is situated on the island of Rhodes in the Aegean Sea. Rose to a height of 34 meters and was the tallest statue in antiquity. Like the work of the Statue of Lindos started 292g. BC and was completed at 285g. BC.
She was knocked down by an earthquake, but even fallen was a tourist attraction until 654, when the Arabs refer and sell bronze parts.
Although created a legend, the idea that Colossus was present in any of the three ports still remains unprotected. Most likely it was built on the Acropolis in the outline of the sanctuary of the god Helios.
Statue of Olympian Zeus, sculpted by renowned Greek sculptor Phidias is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Olympia was an important religious center of ancient Greece. This is where Zeus defeated Cronus bloodthirsty. In 5c. BC citizens of Olympia decided to build a temple to Zeus. It was 64 meters in length and 28 in width. The height of the inner room was 20 meters. The statue of Zeus was placed at the bottom of the temple. According to the sources was high about 12 meters (40-feet) and creating the impression that if Zeus does, destroy the ceiling. It was made of wood, which was covered with delicate pink ivory of Zeus and his clothes were of gold leaf. In his right hand held high golden statue about five meters of the goddess of victory, and the left - scepter.
In 394 AD, about 800 years after its creation, and it was brought to Constantinople, capital of Byzantine Empire. Although Christianity already had a religion and the statue of Zeus Elizabeth exposed herself pagan sculpture, nobody dared to destroy it because of the incredible beauty. Historians believe that it was burned in a fire in the palace of Emperor Theodosius II in 462, the Statue of Zeus is the only one of the seven wonders of the world, and that was on European soil.
