“And it shall come to pass in that day that living waters shall go out from Yerushalayim: half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter shall it be.”~  Zechariah 14:8 (The Israel Bible™)

Multiple stories have been recently surfacing regarding new observations of sea-life reappearing in the Dead Sea.

The latest story, from the UK Daily Star, details how environmentalists are now documenting the return of fish to the Biblically historical body of water, where, since ancient times, the sea had remained completely bereft of life due to the extraordinary amount of salt that can be found in the water.

Ezekiel

According to the Daily Star:

"Ezekiel is a key figure in the Bible and in his end-of-days prophecy, he foresees the Dead Sea flourishing into life – something that is considered to be impossible due to its high salt content.

Israeli photojournalist Noam Bedein has reported sightings of marine life in small sinkholes around the Dead Sea, as well as vegetation growing.

Photos released by the Dead Sea Revival Project show tiny fish swimming in water that is reportedly from the highly-salinated body of water.

Bedein, who works on the Dead Sea Revival Project, which works to preserve the Sea and other Israeli “water treasures”, said the fish prove the water is “anything but dead” 

But, is this evidence of a Biblical miracle described in the End Times actually coming true?

The operative verse, of several, dealing with the age-old prophecy destined to occur in the end times, states the following:

Then said he unto me: ‘These waters issue forth toward the eastern region and shall go down into the Arabah, and when they shall enter into the sea into the sea of the putrid waters the waters shall be healed. And it shall come to pass that every living creature wherewith it swarmeth whithersoever the rivers shall come shall live, and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come thither that all things be healed and may live whithersoever the river cometh. Ezekiel 47:8-9 (The Israel Bible)

According to Breaking Israel News, "Fulfillment of the Dead Sea Prophecy Has Begun," however, that's not the end of the prophecy.

The next verse, this one from Genesis, pertaining to these events, states the following:

"And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere, before Hashem destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Hashem. Genesis 13:10 (The Israel Bible)

Now, back to the Daily Star, story:

"The Bible states that after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the land was turned into a barren wasteland – the same area the Dead Sea is now.

But it was prophesied that life would once again return to the land, with fish in abundance in the water.

“Coming to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, you see prophecy coming true,” Bedein told Breaking News Israel.

“A place that was once cursed in Biblical times, now you can come here to the Dead Sea, explore the sinkholes and see fish where the water has receded – fulfilling prophecies from Ezekiel who talked about the land flourishing and blooming when the Jews return.”

He continued: “The curse is over, and this place and its minerals are now bringing life to people around the world.”

Mr. Bedein and his team have been documenting changes in the Dead Sea over the last two years.

Due to environmental changes, around 600 Olympic pool’s worth of water is being lost from the sea every year – something being described as an “environmental catastrophe.”

Back in 2013, our  popular article, titled,  Signs: The Apocalyptic Vision of The Daniel Project  pertaining to the sequence of events in end times prophecies, lays out the following facts concerning the end times and a new appearance of life in the deserts surrounding Israel and the Dead Sea:

"With modern technology, we know already that a tectonic fissure exists which runs along the center of the Mount of Olives. According to scriptures, the Messiah's return will herald a great earthquake which both splits and moves the Mountain of ancient history apart. This will also cause fresh water to flow from underneath the Mount and towards the Dead Sea changing the entire environment."

In addition to this, we also know of the fresh streams of waters as verified by archeologists indeed flowing underneath both the city of Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives.

But, how could an ancient prophet of over 2,500 years ago know of this tectonic fissure and a subterranean aquifer in the middle of what was a desert? Even better?  The Biblical prediction that the Dead Sea will teem with sea life after this event unfolds."

So, do these events show signs, effectively as a precursor, to an event which will cause an explosion of marine life in the Dead Sea?

It was predicted thousands of years ago, and now it does appear to be happening.

Kudos to Weather Channel reporter Mike Seidel whose stong-wind portrayal during a live-piece set has elicited peals of laughter, all day long, even as over-sold Hurricane Florence churned into the Carolinas.

While Seidel was performing his best impression of a man about to be lifted away by strong wind bursts, two men strolled casually (if not effortlessly) by, in the background, unbeknownst to Seidel.

Seidel, as a result, has offered comic relief to millions with his wind-walker shenanigans, despite the seriousness of the extremely heavy rain event unfolding in the Carolinas.

The Weather Channel has defended Seidel’s awkward performance, claiming that he was standing on wet grass and was “undoubtedly exhausted.”

They further claimed, “It’s important to note that the two individuals in the background are walking on concrete, and Seidel is trying to maintain his footing on wet grass.”

Next, we can possibly expect the Weather Channel to declare that Seidel was standing on the slippery grass rather than the street due to the scalding heat absorbed by the pavement as a direct result of global warming…

At a small solar observatory tucked away in the woods of a national forest here, scientists and other personnel were commanded last week to leave at once.

A week later, the facility remains vacant, and no one is willing to say why.

The mysterious and lengthy evacuation, in a state known for secretive military testing and a suspected UFO crash, has spawned a wealth of speculation. Did the researchers spot something extraterrestrial? Was the solar telescope hacked by a foreign power and deployed to spy on, say, the state’s missile testing range? Or is there an innocuous explanation, suppressed only because of corporate and government resistance to transparency?

On Friday, the entrance to the National Solar Observatory was blocked by yellow crime scene tape and two security guards, who said even they had been kept in the dark. The guards, from Red Rock Security & Patrol in Las Cruces, New Mexico, didn’t give their names but said it was the first day the company was guarding the entrance and only the “director and an assistant” were allowed in. There was no obvious sign of law enforcement activity.

We don’t know anything. We’re just as curious as anyone else,” one guard said. A spokeswoman for the nonprofit group that runs the facility said the organization was addressing a “security issue,” but would offer no additional information, other than, “I can tell you it definitely wasn’t aliens.”

She said Friday the facility “will remain closed until further notice.” Neither the FBI - which was spotted on the premises around the time of the evacuation - nor those who worked at the facility would tell local law enforcement what had happened, said Otero County Sheriff Benny House.

They wouldn’t give us any details,” House said. “I’ve got ideas, but I don’t want to put them out there. That’s how bad press or rumors get started, and it’ll cause paranoia, or I might satisfy everybody’s mind and I might be totally off base."Unlike some of New Mexico’s other research facilities, the solar observatory in Sunspot is not usually shrouded in such secrecy.

The facility - in the Lincoln National Forest in the southern part of the state - is open to the public, and the scientists who work there offer guided tours of the site, said James McAteer, a professor at New Mexico State University and director of the Sunspot Solar Observatory consortium.

When they’re not doing that, they use a special telescope and other instruments to study the sun. There are homes on the site where staff members live.

The Sunspot observatory sits at more than 9,000 feet and is part of a larger astronomy research facility on the site. The adjacent Apache Point Observatory, a collection of telescopes about a half-mile away, was operating as normal on Friday, with about a dozen cars parked outside.

House, the sheriff, said that just before 10 a.m. on Sept. 6, the staff at the Sunspot facility called to report they were “evacuating the building,” and asked if deputies could assist. He said a sergeant and a deputy were dispatched and told upon arrival that the FBI had been there earlier. But neither staff nor the bureau would explain why the facility had to be vacated, House said. He said a volunteer fire chief claimed the FBI had told him there had been a “credible threat” but would provide no details. The sheriff’s office, House said, saw no evidence of a threat, and left after a few hours.

“We tried to find out the threat and what their concerns were,” House said. “They wouldn’t identify anything. They were pretty hush mouthed about it.”

McAteer said his consortium assigns four researchers to the facility, although the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA), another consortium, manages the buildings and other infrastructure with another four or five people.

My people, we didn’t do the evacuation, and we do the science,” McAteer said.

The property manager also came into the post office on the facility and asked the woman working there to leave, but gave no indication why that was necessary, said Rod Spurgeon, a Postal Service spokesman. Spurgeon said post office operations have continued at the nearby Cloudcroft facility.

Kinsey Featherston, a spokeswoman for Rep. Stevan Pearce, R-N.M., said the congressman’s office had reached out to the FBI and were told “it is an ongoing investigation.”

“We will continue monitoring the situation, but at this time, we have no information,” she said. An FBI spokeswoman declined to comment, referring questions about the matter to the consortium that manages the buildings. Shari Lifson, an AURA spokeswoman, said in a statement that her group was “addressing a security issue” and had “decided to temporarily vacate the facility as a precautionary measure.”

She said they were “working with the proper authorities on this issue,” although she declined to specify who those authorities were. Lifson also declined to specify the security issue, other than to dispute the idea aliens were involved. The solar observatory is about a 2 1/2-hour drive from Roswell, New Mexico, the site of a now infamous crash in 1947 that the Air Force later claimed was an experiment designed to detect Soviet nuclear activity by monitoring sound waves. The incident sparked so much interest that there is now a UFO museum in the city.

House said his deputies spotted a Black Hawk helicopter in the area around the time the building was evacuated - although he noted that is not uncommon.

Sunspot and Apache Point offer scenic views of the Tularosa Basin, which includes two sensitive military sites, including Holloman Air Force Base and White Sands Missile Range. A public affairs officer at White Sands said there was no testing or other activity at the range that would have prompted the evacuation in Sunspot. As of Friday, the observatory was still shuttered, although McAteer said the researchers were ready to return “as soon as possible.”

The observatory even seemed to embrace the interest in the mysterious evacuation, writing on its website, “With the excitement this closure has generated, we hope you will come and visit us when we do reopen, and see for yourself the services we provide for science and public outreach in heliophysics.”

Point-in-fact, we’ve noted repeatedly over the last decade–that the hidden hands behind all of the climate change sensationalism’s true goal is, in fact, one of a centralized world government and totalitarian Socialism financial system worldwide.

A former treasurer of a major world organization even admitted to the fact that global economic changes were the actual goal being sought–so, it’s not surprising that when the searing heat of late Summer arrives, all of the indoctrinated academics start clucking that the sky is literally falling.

The climate hasn’t changed, nor has the true science, however, the cult of individuals trying to gain authority over it, along with pretty much everything else, have.

It’s the Hegelian Dialectic on full display…

While scientists and environmentalists debate when global warming may turn Earth into a “hothouse,” conservatives and other experts were skeptical of renewed warnings of a “tipping point.”

Why? Because scientists warning of “hothouse Earth” veered from presenting a scientific case (a dubious one) for alarmism into political activism.

The “hothouse Earth” paper that’s made waves in the media calls for a “deep transformation based on a fundamental reorientation of human values, equity, behavior, institutions, economies, and technologies.” Many conservatives took that to mean global government and socialism.

Bloomberg New Energy Finance co-founder Michael Liebreich, who’s not a skeptic of man-made warming, called the paper “a crock,” adding “as a conservative I can’t be bothered to read it.”

 (RELATED: Scientists Issue ‘Absurd’ Doomsday Prediction, Warn Of ‘Hothouse Earth’)

 When challenged, Liebrich doubled down, quoting directly from the paper that called for “collective human action” on global warming.

The paper Liebrich is referring to was published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. A group of scientists warned of a global warming tipping point at 2 degrees Celsius — the goal of the Paris agreement.

The authors call for “fundamental societal changes” to human society while generating alarming media headlines.

Even liberal environmental writer Eric Holthaus tweeted the “hothouse” paper had “some @DemSocialists shit,” referring to the Democratic Socialist of America political party.

The Global Warming Policy Forum, the political arm of a U.K.-based think tank co-founded by former conservative Member of Parliament Nigel Lawson, blasted the “socialist agenda of climate alarmism.”

Conservatives weren’t the only ones calling out the “hothouse” paper’s political tinge. Alex Trembath of the ecomodernist Breakthrough Institute noted his skepticism of the paper.

University of Colorado professor Roger Pielke, Jr. noted the lead authors of the “hothouse Earth” paper put out a similar essay in 2013, calling for an “institution (or institutions) operating, with authority, above the level of individual countries to ensure that the planetary boundaries are respected.”

Many have attributed to the fact that the biblically prophesied "Image of the Beast" in modern times, may refer to an all-knowing AI deity created by man in order to take benevolent global control, which in turn, ends up wreaking havoc and tyranny over the Earth.

Now, some of the world's greatest scientific minds, not necessarily religious, by the way, are foretelling of the possibility that man would turn to Artificial Intelligence as a more beneficial way of governing mankind.

Over the centuries we've witnessed the disciplines of science, archeology, history & technology, converging with Biblical prophecy countless times, however, this particular instance of convergence may prove to be the most terrifying ~Refocus Notes

"And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."

Imagine your least-favorite world leader. (Take as much time as you need.)

Now, imagine if that person wasn't a human, but a network of millions of computers around the world. This digi-dictator has instant access to every scrap of recorded information about every person who's ever lived. It can make millions of calculations in a fraction of a second, controls the world's economy and weapons systems with godlike autonomy and — scariest of all — can never, ever die.

This unkillable digital dictator, according to Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, is one of the darker scenarios awaiting humankind's future if artificial-intelligence research continues without serious regulation. [Super-Intelligent Machines: 7 Robotic Futures]
