Water Turns Blood Red Around Island of Hormuz

The waters around the Iranian Island of Hormuz has mysteriously turned blood red.

Many people have taken photos and videos and posted them to social media.

One user wrote, I can't believe it can be a trick in photography?

Many others simply say,  Glory to God.

The Strait of Hormuz flows between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

This phenomenon could be due to pollution in the area or red algae bloom.

So far the answer is not known.

This comes at a mysterious time when President Trump had recently threatened Iran for allegedly launching a missile near the US embassy in Iraq, which had already been evacuated days prior.

Also Saudi Arabia alleges that Iran or a proxy of Iran attacked one of their ships.

In recent months, plagues of Locusts have invaded the middle east prompting many to speculate about Biblical prophecy happening today.

Predictions for 2015: Year of the Ram

1 Astrology consists of several systems of divination based on the premise that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events in the human world.

2 Many cultures have attached importance to astronomical events, and the Indians, Chinese, and Mayans developed elaborate systems for predicting terrestrial events from celestial observations. In the West, astrology most often consists of a system of horoscopes purporting to explain aspects of a person's personality and predict future events in their life based on the positions of the sun, moon, and other celestial objects at the time of their birth.


3 Astrology, in its broadest sense, is the search for meaning in the sky.

4 The Shengxiào literally "birth likeness", is also known in English as the Chinese zodiac. Zodiac derives from the similar concept in western astrology and means "circle of animals". It is a scheme and systematic plan of future action that relates each year to an animal and its reputed attributes according to a 12-year cycle and it remains popular in several East Asian countries.

5 2015 in the Chinese zodiac is the year of the Ram or sheep.

6 Coincidentally, this is also an important year for Israel, and Israel is often symbolized by a ram, or rams horn...A shofar. A shofar is an ancient instrument, devised out of a rams horn. It is used to commemerate special holidays and events in Israel.

7 2015 is also a shmita year for Israel. also called the sabbatical year. It is the seventh year of the seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah for the Land of Israel. It is generally a year of rest.

8 Interestingly, according to the Chinese zodiac, the year of the ram or 2015 is expressed generally as a calming, healing year, yet it does specifically point out two points in the year of 2015 that may possibly be turbulent and major changes or upsets may occour. These two periods are between the vernal equinox on march 20 throught april 20th, 2015. Then an even graver threat may be looming from winter soltice on December 21st through the end of 2015.

9 On March 20th of 2015, the Jewish month called Nisan, a full solar eclipse will emerge. followed by a total lunar eclipse, a part of the blood moon tetrad already in progress will occur. These types of celestial events have been reguarded as signs, omens or warnings for events soon to pass.

10 Coupled with the warnings pertaining to the chinese zodiac, it may be more than just a coincidence.

11 In ancient times, it is thought that the three wise men that followed a star to the birth of Christ, are moderenly thought to have been well versed in astrology. It is thought that around that time, celestial events and movement of planets in the night sky, perticularly Jupiter and Saturn and the star Polaris was responsible for letting them know that the birth of a king had taken place, and it was a holy event.

12 Jupiter -- the largest planet in a solar system -- takes 11.86 Earth years to perform one complete orbit of the Sun. In this time, something happens twice: three of the planet's four brightest and largest moons (known as the Galilean moons, Ganymede, Callisto, Io and Europa) out of a confirmed 67 moons, will pass between the Sun and Jupiter at the same time, casting their shadows onto the planet's face -- and the phenomenon will be observable from Earth on January 24th 2015.

13 In Western astrology, Jupiter is considered king of the planets, in account for its size. It is often associated with world leaders, monarchys and religious figures. the triple lunar eclipse on Jupiter starting off for 2015 is a sign or an omen of radical change may occur within 6 months of the event in respect to world leaders, people of power.

14 It may also signify treatys or agreements that are radically different than previous between world powers.

15 To go into a bit more detail for a prediction for 2015, I look to major celestial events occurring at the start of a year. Perticularly in January.

16 A new Comet Lovejoy, designated C/2014 Q2, is heading our way out of deep space and out of the deep southern sky. Though this comet is starting off in late December of 2014, the main event is set to start off the year of 2015. This comet Lovejoy, or some have nick named it the Christmas comet.

17 This comet takes an interesting journey through the night sky visible to earth, passing through many constellations painting a detailed story of possible events to pass, based on ancient interpretations of constellations in the night sky.

18 On new years eve, a little after January 1st universal time, the comet will be passing Columba constellation. a little faint group named in Latin meaning Dove, pertaining to the dove that Noah sent out to find land after it stopped raining.
Also a symbol for peace.

19 Then the comet will pass Eridanus constellation, know by the Greeks to represent a river.

20 On that same day of January 7th, comet Lovejoy will begin to glow its brightest for 2 weeks.

21 The comet will then cross Taurus and then Aries. Taurus constellation is a very old constellation dating back to the Upper Paleolithic era. Cave paintings depicting this constellation date back to 15,000 years ago. Taurus, the bull, is often represented with birth and spring. It is also widely known through the ancient world as an offering or sacrafice.

22 Aries, since late Babalyonian times has been represented by a ram or more specifically a rams horn. Also a symbol used for sacrafice in Greek and roman times.

23 When the comet passes through these two constellations, it will be high in the evening sky visible from earth. Interestingly, the days on the Hebrew calendar start from evening to evening.

24 By then the comet is starting to recede into the distance, but its intrinsic brightness should still be increasing a bit; it doesn't reach perihelion until January 30th, at a rather distant 1.29 a.u. from the Sun. By that date the comet should be starting to fade slightly from Earth's point of view.

25 In February it will continue north between Andromeda and Perseus as it fades further.

26 Andromeda has its roots in Greek mythology as a female figure saved by the demi-god warrior Perseus from an evil sea monster.

27 With comet Lovejoy passing through the middle of these two figures eigther points to exactly the act of saving one, or is it preventing the rescue?

28 After that, the comet will be passing very closely to Polaris, late in May before it fades away from sight. Polaris has been known to represent different ideas over time. It was known as the north star, the guiding star in reference to the 3 wise men, or in Greek mythology, it is known as the little bear.

29 To coincidence the meaning of this comets journey kicking off 2015, we have a story.

30 Peaceful people or peaceful passage of time will  sacrifice the ram possibly in spring. Powers will try to stop this event, but may be unsuccessful. Russia or the little bear, since the break up of the soviet union, may be involved.

30 With the interpretation of this event coupled with the triple lunar eclipse on Jupiter, and the solar eclipse on March 20th, and the last two lunar total eclipses happening in 2015 completing the blood moon tetrad with the last being only visible from Israel, I believe a major treaty will be signed that may destroy or try to destroy Israel. This event will begin to take place in spring, and may come to completion after December 21st 2015. It may not even be a treaty but possibly a provacation of war, an upset in world leaders or religious figures triggering a massive war.

ISIS: Lifting the Veil 'Authority through Antiquity'

 The Islamic State, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, is a jihadist group.

  In its self-proclaimed status as a caliphate, it claims religious authority over all Muslims across the world and aspires to bring much of the Muslim-inhabited regions of the world under its direct political control, beginning with territory in the Levant region, which includes Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Cyprus, and an area in southern Turkey that includes Hatay.

 The group has been officially designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the United Nations Security Council, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia, and has been widely described as a terrorist group by Western and other media sources.

 The group, in its original form, was composed of and supported by a variety of Sunni insurgent groups, including its predecessor organizations,

 Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) (2003–2006), Mujahideen Shura Council (2006–2006) and the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) (2006–2013), other insurgent groups such as Jeish al-Taiifa al-Mansoura, Jaysh al-Fatiheen, Jund al-Sahaba and Katbiyan Ansar Al-Tawhid wal Sunnah, and a number of Iraqi tribes that profess Sunni Islam.


To understand, we must lift the proverbial veil which cloaks this caliphate. Firsty, we must take a look at the belief structure, philosophy, and history at the core of the Islamic State, which is Islam.

Islam

 Islam is a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion articulated by the Qur'an, a book considered by its adherents to be the verbatim word of God or Allah and by the teachings and normative example of Muhammad c. 570 CE – c. 8 June 632 CE], considered by muslims to be the last prophet of God. An adherent of Islam is called a Muslim.

 Muslims believe that God is one and incomparable and the purpose of existence is to worship God. Muslims also believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed before many times throughout the world, including notably through Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus, whom they also consider prophets.

  They maintain that the previous messages and revelations have been partially misinterpreted or altered over time, but consider the Arabic Qur'an to be both the unaltered and the final revelation of God.

  Religious concepts and practices include the five pillars of Islam, which are basic concepts and obligatory acts of worship, and following Islamic law, which touches on virtually every aspect of life and society, providing guidance on multifarious topics from banking and welfare, to family life and the environment.

 Most Muslims are of two denominations: Sunni or Shia. A very small but growing sect of Islam is to be considered radical islam which adhears to the quran strictly and practices Sharia Law. ISIS or ISIL, proclaim that they are practicing the true teachings of islam, and through them, there is only one path.

 To Arabic-speaking people, sharia , also known as Qanun-e Islami means the moral code and religious law of a prophetic religion.

 Sharia is Islamic law, it deals with many topics addressed by secular law, including crime, politics, and economics, as well as personal matters such as sexual intercourse, hygiene, diet, prayer, everyday etiquette and fasting. Adherence to Islamic law has served as one of the distinguishing characteristics of the Muslim faith historically, and through the centuries Muslims have devoted much scholarly time and effort on its elaboration.

 Human interpretations of sharia vary between Islamic sects and respective schools of jurisprudence, yet in its strictest and most historically coherent definition, sharia is considered the infallible law of God.

 There are two primary sources of sharia law: the precepts set forth in the Quranic verses (ayahs), and the example set by the Islamic prophet Muhammad in the Sunnah. Where it has official status, sharia is interpreted by Islamic judges (qadis) with varying responsibilities for the religious leaders (imams).

  The Sharia law itself cannot be altered, but the interpretation of the Sharia law, called "figh," by religious leaders is given some leeway.

  For questions not directly addressed in the primary sources, the application of sharia is extended through consensus of the religious scholars (ulama) thought to embody the consensus of the Muslim Community (ijma). Islamic jurisprudence will also sometimes incorporate analogies from the Quran and Sunnah through Islamic Judges (qiyas), though many scholars also prefer reasoning ('aql) to analogy.

 The introduction of sharia is a longstanding goal for Islamist movements globally, including in Western countries, but attempts to impose sharia have been accompanied by controversy, violence, and warfare.

  Most countries do not recognize sharia; however, some countries in Asia, Africa and Europe recognize sharia and use it as the basis for divorce, inheritance and other personal affairs of their Islamic population.

  In Britain, the Muslim Arbitration Tribunal makes use of sharia family law to settle disputes, and this limited adoption of sharia is controversial.

 The concept of crime, judicial process, justice and punishment embodied in sharia is different from that of secular law. The differences between sharia and secular laws have led to an on-going controversy as to whether sharia is compatible with secular democracy, freedom of thought, and women's rights.

 In secular jurisprudence, sharia is classified as religious law, which is one of the three major categories that individual legal systems generally fall under, alongside civil law and common law.

Golden age of Islam

 The Islamic Golden Age started with the rise of Islam and establishment of the first Islamic state in 622. The end of the age is variously given as of 1258AD with the Mongolian Sack of Baghdad, or 1492 with the completion of the Christian Reconquista of the Emirate of Granada in Al-Andalus, and Iberian Peninsula. During the reign of the Abbasid caliph Harun ar-Rashid (786 to 809), the House of Wisdom was inaugurated in Baghdad where scholars from various parts of the world sought to translate and gather all the known world's knowledge into Arabic.

 The Abbasids were influenced by the Quranic injunctions and hadiths, such as "the ink of a scholar is more holy than the blood of a martyr," that stressed the value of knowledge. During the age, the major Islamic capital cities of Baghdad, Cairo, and Córdoba became the main intellectual centers for science, philosophy, medicine, trade, and education.

 The Arabs showed a strong interest in assimilating the scientific knowledge of the civilizations they had conquered. Many classic works of antiquity that might otherwise have been lost were translated into Arabic and Persian and later in turn translated into Turkish, Hebrew, and Latin.

  They assimilated, synthesized, and advanced the knowledge gained from the ancient Greek, Roman, Persian, Chinese, Indian, Egyptian, and Phoenician civilizations.


 The government heavily patronized scholars. The money spent on the Translation Movement for some translations is estimated to be equivalent to about twice the annual research budget of the United Kingdom’s Medical Research Council today. The best scholars and notable translators, such as Hunayn ibn Ishaq, had salaries that are estimated to be the equivalent of professional athletes today.

 They were a 'free thinking' society, that encouraged philosophy, Science, Mathmatics,physics, biology, medicine, public education, the arts and architeceture. They encouraged travel and commerce amongst all.

 Hospitals in this era were the first to require medical diplomas to license doctors. In the medieval Islamic world, hospitals were built in most major cities.

 Medical facilities traditionally closed each night, but by the 10th century laws were passed to keep hospitals open 24 hours a day, and hospitals were forbidden to turn away patients who were unable to pay.

  Eventually, charitable foundations called waqfs were formed to support hospitals, as well as schools. This money supported free medical care for all citizens. In a notable example, a 13th-century governor of Egypt Al Mansur Qalawun ordained a foundation for the Qalawun hospital that would contain a mosque and a chapel, separate wards for different diseases, and a library for doctors and a pharmacy.

  The Qalawun hospital was based in a former Fatimid palace which had accommodation for 8,000 people. "It served 4,000 patients daily." The waqf stated,

"...The hospital shall keep all patients, men and women, until they are completely recovered. All costs are to be borne by the hospital whether the people come from afar or near, whether they are residents or foreigners, strong or weak, low or high, rich or poor, employed or unemployed, blind or sighted, physically or mentally ill, learned or illiterate. There are no conditions of consideration and payment, none is objected to or even indirectly hinted at for non-payment."

The first institutions for the care of mentally ill people were also established.

 There is little agreement on the precise causes of the decline, but in addition to invasion by the Mongols and crusaders, and the destruction of libraries and madrasahs, it has also been suggested that political mismanagement and the stifling of ijtihad (independent reasoning) in the 12th century in favor of institutionalised taqleed or (imitation) thinking played a part. Ahmad Y. al-Hassan has rejected the thesis that lack of creative thinking was a cause, arguing that science was always kept separate from religious argument; he instead analyses the decline in terms of economic and political factors, drawing on the work of the 14th-century writer Ibn Khaldun.

    It is this notion of  institutionalised 'taqleed' or imitation thinking , combined with strict dogmatic ideas by the Islamic State Caliphate and other radical movements in the Middle East that continue to hold back society and progress for the Middle Eastern region causing mass suffering to millions for the past 1400 years and still we see this happening right before our eyes in 2014.

Comet Linear and Pope to visit Israel May 24, 2014

  Comet Linear is hoped to dazzle the skies for star gazers and astronomers this year on May 24, 2014. Comet Linear discovered back in 2004, is thought to be an old comet that's been around the block a few times. This time the ancient comet may be fragile enough to break apart, and dust the skies of Earth with a fine meteor shower display.




At the same time this year, Pope Francis is scheduled to pay a visit to Israel over May 24, 2014. This visit is the only known confirmed papal trip for the Pope in 2014 thus far.

 

Looking back at history, we cannot discount that there is some sort of connection with religions and celestial activity. Which makes one to wonder, why is this particular trip scheduled over May 24, 2014. Was this date just purely confirmed out of convinence, or is there some sort of plan emerging.

We also must take into account that this trip will be after the first of the four 'Blood Moons' to occur.
According to the Jewish calender, several holy days will be falling on the passing of these four blood moons. The first being Passover to occur on April 15, 2014. We will also be having a lunar eclipse this year in October.

What is the signifigance with the passing of Comet Linear on the 24th of May?

 

   Some speculate that Comet Linear is an old ancient comet undisputed though it has graced our Earth much bolder in the past. It is thought possibly Comet Linear could have been a great comet of the past such as the Great Comet of 1556, which caused havoc on Earth, spurring earthquakes and volcanic increased activity. You can easily see how this would be considered a religious experience on Earth that would involve in Churches as not much was known about our solar system and its swirling bodes upon it.
   Are these events really just rooted in old superstitions associated with lesser knowledge of our surroundings? Only time will tell, but for sure these are events worthy to pay close attention to as the year wears on.

Does Iran Pose a Real Threat?

  New about Iran has littered the main stream media recently starting off with Nuclear talks between the US, Israel and Iran. Some are skeptical of Iran's intentions in the area especially Israel which has sparked some debate over the United States decision to release some of the sanctions on Iran.
  We have heard that Iran wants to become a part of the world by stopping its iridium enrichment and destroying centerfuges needed to construct a Nuclear weapon. Then on the other hand, we hear increasing threats against Israel and the United States such as testing long ranged missiles, making videos depicting them attacking Israel, Tel Aviv, and US carriers.  So which is it? Are the Iranians playing some type a 'game'?   

                                         Check out these videos outlining what has been happening!

 

It can be hard to predict and read through Iran's shenanagans, but through it all I believe one message is clear. Iran is trying to play two sides of the coin, in one hand they want to be part of the world community as they see it pays off not only economically, and also in a  diplomatic sense. On the other hand, they have the people of Iran who for years have been programmed to hate the west particularly the US and Israel.  They are clearly testing the waters to see what they can get away with, especially with President Obama leading from behind stratedgy. What will happen next is really anyone's guess, as Iran has proved one thing, they got a bag full o' suprises that fuels the news media machine.

Iran's Warships are Headed to the US Coast!
