Is the world going to end in 2019? ...

...Well yes I guess it feels like it. especially if you have written an ebook and not selling as many copies of it as you would like ... if you have written or know of anyone who has written one, or even read one you thought is worth a mention, then head over to ebooklistingforfree.blogspot.com , and make mention of it...






But to get back to the end of the world topic... The topic of the world ending rises its terrifying head from time to time, and then leads you to worry as you start thinking that this time it might be true,, I mean who knows really..

What I am talking about now is the Blood moon January 22 Prophecy...

As we know the eclipse caused by the sun moving in behind earth will cast a shadow over the moon, which will give it a reddish colour. a number of conspiracy theorists from around the globe is convinced that this is covered in the Bible and are convinced that we are to take it serious as, well basically it might just be the end.

I guess there is nothing really we can do about it anyways, its not like a have a space ship in my garage which I can load my family into and zoom off to mars or someplace else. So I guess we wait and see what happens.

So until next time, or maybe not,, we will find out within the next few days..

Cheers

Angel evolution

'Tis the season for winged humanoids to alight everywhere from store windows to Christmas tree tops to lingerie runways. But it wasn't always so.

Angels, at least the Christian variety, haven't always been flying people in diaphanous gowns. And their various forms—from disembodied minds to feathered guardians—reflect twists and turns of thousands of years of religious thought, according to an upcoming book.

"There is lots of interesting theology about angels, and in some ways we've kind of lost the knack for that," said John Cavadini, chair of theology at the University of Notre Dame.

"We tend to think of angels as things that we'd find in a Hallmark card," Cavadini added. "But many people, especially in antiquity, were very interested in them"—in what they might look like, how they might organize themselves, how they behave.

In the Bible angels served as envoys of God—angelos being Greek for "messenger." Other than that, the scriptures leave a lot of room for interpretation.

"There isn't a lot of detail, and that's the fascinating thing," said Ellen Muehlberger, a professor of Middle Eastern studies at the University of Michigan.

"The Same Substance as God"

In the early days of Christianity, some believers considered Jesus Christ himself to be one of many angels, said Muehlberger, who's working on a book on the shifting theology of angels in ancient times.

"We only know about this because of later, fourth-century authors who penned negative descriptions of this belief" to refute it, she said.

Jesus officially lost his angelhood when the Roman Emperor Constantine I convened the Council of Nicea in 325. There, bishops were charged with turning the still varied and sometimes conflicting conceptions of God, Christ, and Christianity into a single, unified theology.

"The Council of Nicea defined Christ as totally divine, as of the same substance as God," Muehlberger said.

"Christians who worked to interpret the council's decrees over the next several decades took this to mean that Christ was not an angel. Angels were something else entirely."

A Beautiful Mind

In the early centuries of the church, perceptions of angels may have been as varied as the descriptions of Christ himself—or Judas, for that matter.

A fourth-century Christian monk and ascetic known as Evagrius, for example, developed a theory that explained the human essence in three parts.

"One part is governed by appetites and makes us hungry or sleepy or want to have sex," Muehlberger explained. "That's sort of the lowest part.

"A second is an emotional part that allows us to get angry or makes us prideful.

"Then there is a rational part," she said. "And that is the part, according to Evagrius, that is most like God and the angels too."

Evagrius "thought that something like anger was like a demon that came and attacked you. And if you couldn't fight off those attacks yourself, a totally rational angel, standing beside you, could help you."

Others followed this line, proclaiming that angels were disembodied minds, or intellects, according to Muehlberger.

Angels for Everyone

Around the same time, debate swirled over just who angels served on Earth.

At early Christian monasteries, for instance, many ascetics assumed that really good students would get some kind of divine guide or coach to help them.

"These monks said, Hey, not everybody gets a guardian angel—it's a mark of moral success," said Muehlberger, citing monastic letters from the period explaining the need for monastery inhabitants to cultivate their own angels.

In the towns, though, a more democratic view of angels prevailed.

Bishops and other officials began to assure their congregants that everyone has a guardian angel.

In Egypt, some bishops went on to suggest that some desert-dwelling monks—who had renounced pleasures of flesh and family—might themselves be angels on Earth.

The Egyptian monks rejected this out of hand, saying, in Muehlbergers' words, "We act like animals, not angels."

Eventually this populist view won out: I'm no angel and neither are you, but they watch over all of us.

Celestial Hierarchy

No sooner had believers begun to vaguely agree on what angels were than scholars began to debate how heavenly messengers organize themselves.

The Bible sheds little light on angelic society, but writers have been happy to fill in the gaps, including the unknown author of the circa-A.D. 500 On the Celestial Hierarchy.

Incorporating some earlier ideas, the tome ranks angelic beings into nine orders. From lowest to highest: angels, archangels, principalities, powers, virtues, dominions, thrones, cherubim, and seraphim.

"It was not an official church teaching," said Michael Root, a theologian at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.

Notre Dame's Cavadini added, "I think it contributed to the beauty of the universe that all these different levels of beings were incredibly diverse but completely interdependent, and that all that multiplicity yielded a harmony instead of a dissidence."

Fallen Angels

Of course not all angels are angelic, according to some Christian traditions. Satan himself, it's been said, was once an angel named Lucifer.

The fact that angels can fall from grace is an important point, Catholic University's Root said—it implies that they have free will.

"You even had some theologians in the medieval and the early modern periods who thought that there was an adversarial angel, a fallen angel, assigned to each person as well as a guardian angel—though this was never an official thought," Root said.

As early as the second and third centuries, Christian scholars such as Origen of Alexandria saw important roles for fallen angels, Notre Dame's Cavadini said.

"For Origen and a lot of church fathers, angels participated in the governance of the universe at God's will," Cavadini said.

"That also meant that the fallen angels were intended to participate in the betterment of the universe, and that you have to take them very seriously, because they still did participate—but in a negative way."

Angels in America

Though modern Americans may spend less time puzzling over angels' forms and ways than the ancients did, Americans do tend to believe heavenly messengers are among us, and actively so.

Some 55 percent of Americans think they've been protected by their guardian angels at some point in their lives, according to a 2008 Baylor University survey conducted by the Gallup organization.

"I've been looking at over 1,100 stories we collected from people about their experiences with their guardian angels," Baylor sociologist Carson Mencken said.

"People talk about close calls like auto accidents, especially accidents in which someone else was killed. Others were victims of assault or survived near-drownings or had combat-related near-death experiences," Mencken said.

"It's the random death that frightens us—there's nothing that we can do to control it.

"Based on our study, many of the people who survive those close calls attribute their survival to their guardian angels," he said.

In most of these cases, he added, the angels are not seen but only felt. And yet to many Christians, their heavenly guardians are as real as the ones on their Christmas trees.

The Dark Truth of the Moon........ ????

See http://www.revisionism.nl/Moon/The-Mad-Revisionist.htm

David Vaughan Icke (pronounced /aɪk/, or IKE, born 29 April 1952) is an English writer and public speaker, best known for his examination of what he calls "who and what is really controlling the world." Describing himself as the most controversial speaker in the world, he has written 18 books explaining his position. His 533-page The Biggest Secret (1999) has been called the conspiracy theorist's Rosetta Stone.[1]


Icke was a well-known BBC television sports presenter and spokesman for the Green Party, when in 1990 he had an encounter with a psychic who told him he was a healer placed on Earth for a purpose. In April 1991 he told the BBC's Terry Wogan show that he was a son of the godhead—though he said later he had been misinterpreted—and predicted that the world would soon be devastated by tidal waves and earthquakes. He said the show changed his life, turning him from a respected household name into someone who was laughed at whenever he appeared in public.[2]

He continued nevertheless to develop his ideas, and in four books published over seven years—The Robots' Rebellion (1994), And the Truth Shall Set You Free (1995), The Biggest Secret (1999), and Children of the Matrix (2001)—set out a moral and political worldview that combined New-Age spiritualism with a passionate denunciation of totalitarian trends in the modern world. At the heart of his theories lies the idea that the world is becoming a global fascist state, that a secret group of reptilian humanoids called the Babylonian Brotherhood controls humanity, and that many prominent figures are reptilian, including George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II, Kris Kristofferson, and Boxcar Willie.[3]

Michael Barkun has described Icke's position as "New Age conspiracism," writing that he is the most fluent of the conspiracist genre. Richard Kahn and Tyson Lewis argue that the reptilian hypothesis may simply be Swiftian satire, a way of giving ordinary people a narrative with which to question what they see around them

Inter-Dimensional Beings

See link for much more, and i mean it when i say much more extremely insightful info !!
 
I got the following on yahoo answers, a good read !!!
 
Inter-dimensional beings would be travelers from another space-time continuum. This would probably include time travel.

In the world view, it has taken billions of years for man to get to the stage we are at now, however man only came on the scene a couple of hundred thousand years ago - and most of our scientific advances have come over the past 200 years. With all of that to chew on and the "fact" that it is theorized (by some non-scientific people) that man was "seeded" here on earth from somewhere else begs to ask the question of "where?". What does this all mean? Science can grow by leaps and bounds under the right conditions, science on the other side of the universe or in another dimension would be far beyond our comprehension.

If there were really inter dimensional beings they would normally operate on a level that would seem paranormal to us (shadows, dreams, disembodied voices etc) and could possibly influence decision making and scientific advances. inter dimensional beings could include bigfoot, loch ness monster, fairies, elves etc... so they might not have much to do with science to be able to confound rational thinking.

In order to cross dimensions, you would have to find the right "knife" to open a rift (not so far fetched - we found the right "knife" to split an atom)
