THE HEAD WOUNDED

 THE HEAD WOUNDED
Not by man, Global Warming 101

Toward the end of the thirteenth century, noticeable changes in weather patterns were occurring as Europe entered a period that has been called a "little ice age".  A drop in overall temperatures led to shorter growing seasons and bad weather conditions.  Between 1315 and 1317, heavy rains in northern Europe destroyed harvests and caused food shortages, resulting in extreme hunger and starvation.

The Great Famine expanded to other parts of Europe as well.  Famine might have led to chronic malnutrition and in turn higher susceptibility to disease because malnutritioned people are less able to resist infection.  This might help explain the high mortality of the great plague known as the Black Death, the most devastating natural disaster in European History.

Bubonic Plague was the most common form of the Black Death.  It was spread by black rats infested with fleas carrying a deadly plague with them from Kaffa, on the black sea, to the Island of Sicily in October 1347.  The plague had spread to southern Italy and southern France by the end of 1347.  Usually, the path of the Black Death followed trade routes.

In 1348 and 1349, the plague spread through France, the low countries (modern Netherlands), and Germany.  It ravaged England in 1349 and expanded to northern Europe and Scandinavia.  Eastern Europe and Russia were affected by 1351.

a little tidbit:  In 1929 the Vatican became a Bank.

Weather control as a Cold War weapon:  In the 1950s, some U.S. Scientists warned that, without immediate action, the Soviet Union would control the earth's thermometers.  (This was posted on Collier's Magazine Cover, May 28, 1954.

WHEN WAS THE MESSIAH BORN?

It is only natural for a person to adhere to conducts and beliefs that are biblically defensible.    Be ready always to give an answer to every man  that  asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear."   (1 Peter 3:15).                                 Christmas celebrations are generally observed to honor the supposed date of the birth of the Messiah.  But the facts are that Christ was not born on December 25.        " Christmas . . . was, according to many authorities, not cele-brated in the first centuries of the Christian church, as the Christian usage in general was to celebrate the death of remarkable persons, rather than the birth of Christ. ("Christmas",  Encyclopedia Americana).  How then, did the Romish Church fix on December 25th as Christmas-day?  Why, thus: long before the fourth century, a...

THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Many people stay away from the Book of Revelation because they find the symbolism frightening or confusing, or both!  But the Book of Revelation was meant to be a book of comfort to those caught up in the persecution at the end of the first century, says Ms Frances Taylor.  Christians in "Rome" had been blamed by Nero I for destroying much of the city.  They were often called "cannibals" because of their Eucharistic celebrations where they shared the "body and blood of Christ."  (they symbolically used bread and fruit of the vine for the body and blood.)   Domitian was another Emperor who persecuted the Christians at the end of the century; he was most likely the emperor who earned the designation "666".  The number 7 is very often mentioned in this book, which is the number that symbolizes completion and when in threes, God.  Domitian was considered the Satan, who clamed to be God, and fell short for the Christian, the greater danger was the los...

THE LIFE OF SAUL/PAUL

            Paul was born a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin.  He was also a Roman Citizen.  He was born in the Roman City of Tarsus.  In those days people had dual names.  Before he was known as apostle Paul, he was known as Saul of Tarsus.  Saul was his Hebrew name, Paul was his Roman name.  As Saul before his conversion he sought out the believers in Jesus.  He would hunt them down, bind them up and take them to Jerusalem to be killed.  Jesus did not change his name at his conversion.            Saul went to the high priest asking for letters to allow him entry into the synagogues at Damascus, so he could hunt down men and women that professed to be believers in Jesus. As he began his journey, he traveled down the road to Damascus.  As he drew near to the city, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him.  He fell to the ground and he heard a voice saying, "Saul, Saul why are t...
