The situation’s deteriorated in New Orleans, but I’m sure you all have your own news sources to tell you that, and others are blogging it better than I can. I’m not fond of her politics, but Michelle Malkin is doing a good job of rounding up Katrina blog coverage. Or you can just look at the regular news. Deadly Katrina has, along with relief links, search and rescue phone numbers for those in distress (just in case you’re in distress but still able to surf the web with your Blackberry, which some people seem to have actually done after they lost power), and also an entry to post names if you haven’t heard from loved ones.

I don’t normally blog about work, because blogging about work, especially under your own real name, tends not to be a good idea. But I think I can let you know that my company was in the news the other day, predicting how much damage Katrina would do.

    This destruction on your planet is not caused by the loving God. The Father of Creation whose name in Hebrew is Ara’vat is allowing the fallen angels, demons and nepillims to begin filtering through to begin their chaos. It began when the first seal was openned on 12/26/04 at the instant of the Great Earthquake and Tsunami. It has now been determined that the current event entitled Hurricane Katrina is now the openings of the second seal.
    Some of you may be asking who the heck is this Ara’vat just another name for a God that will eventually cause one peoples strife against another? I answer that as NO in fact the name Ara’vat is mentioned in the Books of Enoch that were removed by Emperor Constantine at the Council of Laonacia in 364 AD when the Canons were created. Many other important scripture that could have helped mankind further evolve spiritually were deleted from the Book you all know today as The Bible at that same council meeting.
    Now that you know the name of the Father it is even more important that you understand the reason for the destruction and my mission. When Ara’vat created mankind I believe he didn’t keep the other Angels abreast of everything that was taking place. (reason explained below) Ara’vat added personalities to humans something that really wasn’t apparent in the Angels. The Angels were more robot like in personality and lacked a lot of feelings that God Ara’vat put into the making of humans. Somehow many of the Angels developed (it could be all of them) jealousy and wanted a personality like the humans. God Ara’vat said NO and his reason was he wanted to keep the humans and angels on separate planes and control each individually. He said if the Angels were to cross over to the human world great disasters would follow.
    Well what the Father of Creation Ara’vat didn’t want indeed did happen. 218 angels lead by Samyaza came to Earth and began Watching. After a period of Watching they decided to mate with the daughters of Earth(briefly mentioned beginning of genesis 6) because they became filled with lust. They created a race of entities half human and half angel. (The Greek texts vary considerably from the Ethiopian text here. One Greek manuscript adds to this section, “And they [the women] bore to them [the Watchers] three races–first, the great giants. The giants brought forth [some say "slew"] the Naphelim, and the Naphelim brought forth [or "slew"] the Elioud. And they existed, increasing in power according to their greatness.” See the account in the Book of Jubilees)
    They were anywhere from a couple hundred to a few hundred feet tall. They were born looking like humans but as the children grew older suddenly changes in their body structures began to take place. They grew so fast that the food supply wasn’t enough to feed their enormous appetites. Soon they began turning on the humans, torturing them before eating them. They also mutated the creatures of the Earth and were responsible for the creation of the dinosaurs. Originally they created the dinosuars for a food chain but it got out of control and the mutated creatures began to escape and some of them caused havoc on the remaining humans. After the Giants almost made humans extinct they began turning on themselves for the food chain while humans were now considered a delicacy when found.
    This went on for whatever period God Ara’vat decided it would and then he finally removed all the giants and offspring from the surface of this planet and placed them in the center of this Earth not in a human skin but in a spirit form encased in a fire not like fire we know on Earth. There is a Cherub guarding the exit but soon Ara’vat will allow their release to reign once again on this planet for a short period of time. (Rev. #13) Those who have been Saved Through Christ both living and dead will be Raptured before their release. Those left behind will be pickings for the fallen angels and their offspring as they reign on this Earth for a period not more than 3 and 1/2 years.
    Remember while you strife with your brother or sister over a deity these fallen ones are planning an attack on your soul. They are causing your earthquakes, volcanoes and other natural events that are now happening. Your faith will save you. Your lack of faith will allow the evil ones to have your soul and thoughts forever. They will be able to torture you and then reconstruct your spiritual body. They will be able to create the same identical nightmare over and over and make you face it for all eternity if they wish. Please come to Christ and you too will meet Ara’vat the Father of Creation face to face. You will experience the eternal kingdom of the Living God and enjoy the benefits of the Father’s Mansion forever.
