KING JESUS IS COMING FOR US ANY TIME NOW. THE RAPTURE. BE PREPARED TO GO.

REVELATION 21:1-27 (1000 YRS OVER, NEW REFURBISHED EARTH FOREVER WITH JESUS RULING)(FROM JERUSALEM)
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful,(COWARDS) and unbelieving,(FALSE PRETENDERS) and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 And the city (NEW JERUSALEM) lieth foursquare,(1,500 MILE-WIDE-HIGH) and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs.(1,500 MILES) The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits,(1,500 MILES) according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

REVELATION 22:1-21 (ETERNITY FOREVER WITH JESUS)(ON EARTH)
1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I (JESUS) am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers,(DRUG ADDICTS-PUSHERS) and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book,(REVELATION) If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy,(BOOK OF REVELATION) God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

HELL AND ETERNAL PUNISHMENT IS REAL TO.

REVELATION 20:10-15
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Why so many people–including scientists–suddenly believe in an afterlife

Death, it seems, is no longer Shakespeare’s undiscovered country, the one “from whose bourn no traveller returns.” Not according to contemporary bestseller lists. Dreams and visions of the afterlife have been constants across human history, and the near-death experiences (now known as NDEs) of those whose lives were saved by medical advances have established, for millions, a credible means by which someone could peek into the next world. Lately a fair-sized pack of witnesses claim to have actually entered into the afterlife before coming back again to write mega-selling accounts of what they saw and felt there. Afterlife speculation has become a vibrant part of the zeitgeist, the result of trends that include developments in neuroscience that have inspired new ideas about human consciousness, the ongoing evolution of theology, both popular and expert, and the hopes and fears of an aging population. Heaven is hot again. And hell is colder than ever.Recent polls across the developed world are starting to tell an intriguing tale. In the U.S., religion central for the West, belief in heaven has held steady, even ticking upwards on occasion, over the past two decades. Belief in hell is also high, but even Americans show a gap between the two articles of faith—81 per cent believed in the former in 2011, as opposed to 71 per cent accepting the latter. Elsewhere in the Western world the gap between heaven and hell believers is more of a gulf—a 2010 Canadian poll found more than half of us think there is a heaven, while fewer than a third acknowledge hell. What’s more, monotheism’s two destinations are no longer all that are on offer. In December a survey of the 1970 British Cohort group—9,000 people, currently 42 years old—found half believed in an afterlife, while only 31 per cent believed in God. No one has yet delved deeply into beliefs about the new afterlife—the cohort surveyors didn’t ask for details—but reincarnation, in an newly multicultural West, is one suggested factor. So too is belief in what one academic called “an unreligious afterlife,” the natural continuation of human consciousness after physical death.


While most of the current bestselling accounts of afterlife experiences are recognizably Christian—at least in outline—signs of changing beliefs can be found in them too. Nor are the new travellers—who include a four-year-old boy and a middle-aged neurosurgeon—what religious skeptics would think of as the usual suspects. Colton Burpo, now 13, “died” 10 years ago from a ruptured appendix, and spent three minutes of earthly time in heaven—some of it in Jesus’s lap, some of it speaking with a miscarried sister whose existence he had never been told about—before being pulled back to Earth by his surgical team. Since 2010, when his father, Todd, a Nebraska minister, published his account of what Colton told him, Heaven is for Real has sold more than 7.5 million copies. If Colton’s story sounds like a contemporary take on an ancient Christian motif—“unless you become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3)—the same can’t be said about Eben Alexander’s post-religious cosmic experience.It is Alexander’s provocatively named Proof of Heaven, released in November, that wrenched afterlife visitation literature out of its below-the-radar religious publishing niche and into the spotlight. Alexander’s professional stature—as a Harvard-trained neurosurgeon, a man expected to know what is possible and what is not for human consciousness—ensured him of extensive media coverage, including on Oprah Winfrey’s Super Soul Sunday, massive sales (it remains No. 1 on the New York Times paperback non-fiction bestseller list), and often venomous responses from fellow scientists.Alexander woke one day in 2008 with an intense headache. “Within hours, my entire cortex—the part of the brain that controls thought and emotion and that in essence makes us human—had shut down,” he writes. Doctors finally determined that “E. coli bacteria had penetrated my cerebrospinal fluid and were eating my brain.” For seven days he was in a deep coma, during which time, often guided by a beautiful girl riding a giant butterfly, he flew around the “invisible, spiritual side of existence.” And there he encountered God, whom Alexander frequently refers to as Om, the sound he recalls as “being associated with that omniscient, omnipotent and unconditionally loving God.”He eventually recovered, a medical miracle in itself, Alexander writes. But he was an entirely different man, no longer a neuroscientist like other neuroscientists. “I know that many of my peers hold—as I myself did—to the theory that the brain, and in particular the cortex, generates consciousness and that we live in a universe devoid of any kind of emotion, much less the unconditional love that I now know God and the universe have toward us. But that belief, that theory, now lies broken at our feet. What happened to me destroyed it.”Not according to most of his fellow neuroscientists, whose reactions made the predictable Christian  wariness—no angels, no Jesus, and a God named Om left Toronto pastor Tim Challies to sum up Proof of Heaven as “more New Age-y than the rest, close to non-Western religion”—seem welcoming. Oliver Sacks called Alexander’s claims “not just unscientific but anti-scientific.” Others opposed dogma with dogma: Alexander was correct that by current neurological understanding what happened to him was impossible if his cortex was shut down—therefore, they said, it wasn’t shut down, no matter what his medical records say. Many skeptics referenced British psychologist Susan Blackmore’s 1993 book, Dying to Live, which dismisses NDEs as a result of chemical changes associated with dying brains, as the last word.
For their part, non-materialist neuroscientists, like University of Montreal professor Mario Beauregard, have long critiqued Blackmore and point out that brain research was in its infancy 20 years ago. Blackmore argued that a lack of oxygen (or anoxia) during the dying process might induce abnormal firing of neurons in the part of the brain that controls vision, leading to the illusion of seeing a bright light at the end of a dark tunnel.Beauregard cites objections by Dutch cardiologist Pim Van Lommel that if anoxia (lack of oxygen) was central to NDEs, far more cardiac arrest patients would report such an experience. What’s more, as pointed out by Dr. Sam Parnia, whose resuscitation techniques have doubled his New York hospital’s cardiac-arrest-recovery rate, some NDE patients were not terminal during their experiences, meaning their oxygen levels were normal. In fact, Parnia notes, dropping oxygen levels are associated with “acute confusional state,” something at odds with the lucid consciousness reported by NDE people.

Two decades of research and medical advances have moved near-death experiences from rare events to common occurrences. In his book Erasing Death, Parnia cites a 30-year-old Japanese woman as the current record holder (in terms of time) for someone who was found dead and restored to life. She “may have been dead up to 10 hours,” Parnia says, but after six hours’ work, doctors got her heart started and brought her back to health: “she had a baby in the last year.” Now that patients who have been clinically dead for hours can be brought back to life, says Parnia, the question of the continuation of human consciousness is a live scientific issue.And it’s not only the remarkable extension of the time patients can now spend suspended between life and death, but the sheer number of individuals involved, that has made NDEs so contentious among researchers. Those whose NDEs also involved an out-of-body experience raise the stakes further.Materialist skeptics are not troubled by accounts of tunnels of light or angelic beings. Perhaps the dying brain hypothesis doesn’t fully explain them, but there are other possibilities. Too much carbon dioxide in the blood perhaps or, as a recent study from the University of Kentucky posits, NDEs are really an instance of a sleep disorder, rapid eye movement (REM) intrusion. In that disorder, a person’s mind can wake up before his body, and both hallucinations and the sensation of being physically detached from the body can occur. Cardiac arrest could trigger a REM intrusion in the brain stem—the region that controls the most basic functions of the body and which can operate independently from the (now dead) higher brain. The resulting NDE would actually be a dream.But that hypothesis still cannot account for people who report seeing, during their out-of-body experiences, what they could not have. Most commonly that’s an overhead view of their frantic medical teams. Parnia reports a 2001 case, in which a Dutch patient’s dentures were removed during cardiac arrest. When his nurses couldn’t find the dentures later, the patient was able to remind them where they were. Perhaps the most famous corroborated case, cited by Beauregard, is that of a migrant worker named Maria, whose story was documented by her critical care social worker, Kimberly Clark. The day after she had been resuscitated after cardiac arrest, Maria told Clark how she had been able to look down from the ceiling and left the OR. She found herself outside the hospital and spotted a tennis shoe on the ledge of the north side of the building’s third floor. She described it in detail. Maria, not surprisingly, wanted to know whether she had “really” seen the shoe, and asked Clark to go look.Quite skeptical, Clark went where Maria sent her, and found the tennis shoe, just as she’d described it. “The only way she could have had such a perspective,” said Clark, “was if she had been floating right outside and at very close range to the tennis shoe.” It shouldn’t have been possible, as both Beauregard and Parnia point out. “The question becomes,” Parnia says, “how can people have conscious awareness when they’ve gone beyond the threshold of death?”The answer to that question is not necessarily Christian, or even metaphysical at all, not for Parnia, who describes himself as “not a religious person” and not for many of his fellow NDE researchers. In a similar vein, many traditional Christians are more than a little wary of the reported experiences of the heaven travellers. For them the idea—so intolerable to materialist skeptics—that consciousness, or the soul, can and does exist outside the body is an article of faith. But some of the new afterlife, however seemingly Christian in outline, is often troubling, especially in its utter lack of judgment. All are welcome, all are heaven-bound in those accounts: there is no sign of God’s wrath for sinners. The division over the possibility of continuing human consciousness is not entirely between the religious and the secular. And the extraordinary popularity of heaven tourism—books have continued to pour down the publishing pike this year, including I Believe in Heaven by Cecil Murphy, one of the pioneers in the genre—is not entirely driven by evangelical enthusiasm.

In that regard, the storm stirred up by Proof of Heaven only obscures the wider significance of the afterlife books. The controversy over the scientific basis of Alexander’s experiences, like the skeptical poking for holes in the Burpo story—can Colton’s parents really be sure he never heard a word about his mother’s miscarriage?—can miss the cultural forest for the factual trees.Consider the many other near-death survivors-cum-authors and their places along the continuum, from pastor’s son to neurosurgeon. There’s Mary Neal, an orthopaedic surgeon whose account of the aftermath of her drowning in Chile in 1999, To Heaven and Back, has spent two years on bestseller lists; teacher Crystal McVea, whose Waking Up in Heaven tells the story of the nine minutes that followed after she stopped breathing in 2009; The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven is about six-year-old Alex Malarkey, who met Jesus after an car accident in 2004; and Texas pastor Don Piper, whose 2004 account (co-written with Cecil Murphy) of his car crash, 90 Minutes in Heaven, is often credited with kick-starting the phenomenon.There are elements, from key plot points to tiny details, that link their stories, starting with two obvious points. The idea that major scientists no longer dismiss the idea of continuing consciousness colours all accounts, as does the fact that, whether truth or fantasy, the experiences are necessarily culturally specific.All overwhelming and bewildering mental states have to be sorted, defined and made comprehensible in the light of the familiar—what else do our brains have to work with? One way or another, a pastor’s child and a fallen-away Christian like Alexander will filter an NDE through the earliest Sunday school tracks laid down in their memories. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, first famous for her five stages of grief, later became a doyenne of NDEs—her lectures on her NDE patients (who turned her into a believer), first published in 1991, were reissued in 2008 to catch the current publishing wave. Even in her rather homogenous western European clientele, Kübler-Ross could see the effects of early enculturation: “I never encountered a Protestant child who saw the Virgin Mary in his last minutes, yet she was perceived by many Catholic children.”Many of the writers share a common gaping wound, centred on lost children, a wound usually healed by simultaneously finding the child and realizing there is no blame or judgment to suffer, no forgiveness to offer or seek. Most of Colton Burpo’s account is a child’s-eye account of orthodox teaching, but its most affecting passage is when he lifts years of guilt and anxiety off his mother, Sonja, by telling her that her miscarried child had been a girl, and that she was now flourishing in heaven as God’s adopted daughter. One of Kübler-Ross’s patients, a 12-year-old girl, told her father how she was comforted during her NDE by her brother. Except that she didn’t have a brother. Her tearful father then told her about the son who had died three months before her birth.Eben Alexander, who—unlike most NDE cases—lost all sense of personal identity during his experience, was troubled because that loss meant no relative offered him assurances of love and acceptance. Afterwards though, Alexander—an adopted child who had felt abandoned his whole life—saw a picture of his deceased natural sister, whom he had never met in life. She was the girl on the butterfly. (There is more than a trace of Kübler-Ross’s influence in Proof of Heaven. The butterfly girl stands out as one of the more psychedelic elements in an account mostly abstract and metaphysical: Kübler-Ross, however, constantly describes the human body as a cocoon, from which a metaphorical butterfly of spirit will eventually emerge.)

And the stories offer similar proofs: Colton, like Kübler-Ross’s patient, inexplicably knew of a lost sibling, whose existences their parents believed they had kept hidden, while Eben Alexander could describe precisely what his medical team and his family were doing during his seven-day coma. They are all, even the children, witnesses who experienced what they did—and came back, reluctantly—for a reason. Mary Neal was sent back with what she called “a laundry list of tasks to do,” which she still doesn’t talk about, at least not until they are accomplished: one was to help the rest of her family cope with the foretold death of her young son, which occurred 10 years later in 2009. Colton and Alex provide truth “out of the mouths of babes.” Alexander knows he is uniquely positioned among NDE subjects to challenge the materialist orthodoxies of mainstream neuroscience.Those similarities in form pale beside the deep thematic link between the new bestsellers: the (previously) undiscovered country is a place of unconditional love. Several of the writers pause, sometimes for pages, to stress the adjective as much as the noun. None express the message more clearly than Alexander, who writes that “the only thing that truly matters” was communicated to him in three parts. He boils those down to one word—love—but the key phrase may be the third sentence of his longer version:
You are loved and cherished.
You have nothing to fear.
There is nothing you can do wrong.
That’s fodder for cynics and skeptics, of course. That an individual like any of the authors, someone of broadly Christian background coping with emotional pain, should undergo such a heaven-centred experience when in the throes of physical trauma, is broadly predictable and easy to dismiss as wish-fulfillment. The fact it has happened to a group of such similar individuals does not in itself prove the truth (or the falsity) of the experiences; what that does, though, is illuminate a culture that increasingly rejects the very notion of judgment while equating salvation with personal healing.Most observers trace the current upsurge to Don Piper’s 90 Minutes in Heaven. Largely ignored by the non-religious world and looked at askance by many Christian commentators, 90 Minutes sold like hotcakes. And while it set the template for what was to come, what stands out about it today is its modesty. Piper was declared dead at the scene of an auto crash on Jan. 18, 1989. His body was left in place while the authorities waited for the tools needed to extract him from the wreckage. An hour and a half later, though, Piper stirred back to life, albeit to a long and excruciating recovery, involving 34 painful surgeries.And to bear witness to where he had been in that 90 minutes. In the transcendent light, actually, just outside the “pearlescent” gates of heaven, surrounded by “perfect love” and the gathering presence—simultaneously physical and spiritual—of loved ones who had died during Piper’s lifetime. There were friends who had passed away young and were thus still youthful looking; his grandfather, instantly recognizable by his shock of white hair; and his great-grandmother, still aged but now no longer with false teeth, but her own restored, no longer stooped and no longer wrinkled. Signs of age, in other words, and of the gravitas they confer, but no traces of the “ravages of living.”All this—the approach to the pearly gates, the welcome from loved ones, the presence of unconditional love and the absence of judgment—was pregnant with accounts to come. But, as it turned out, 90 Minutes’ first-born—the genetic relationship obvious in their titles, not to mention the way Amazon bundled them together for a special low price—was the most striking outlier in recent afterlife literature, Bill Wiese’s 23 Minutes in Hell. A California realtor, Wiese was sleeping peacefully on the night of Nov. 22, 1998, when God pitched him into hell at 3 a.m., so that—Wiese later decided—he could warn others of their peril. He landed abruptly in a five-by-three-metre cell, shared with two gigantic, evil, reptilian beasts who proceeded to smash him against the walls before shredding his flesh.Yet Wiese did not die, could not die, as much as he wanted to. He continued in seemingly endless pain, tormented too by “the terrible, foul stench.” (Smell—the most evocative of senses, the one most closely tied to deep memory—is prominent in accounts of heaven as well, where it brings visitors the most comforting reminders of childhood and, when the odours arise from food, assurances of plenty.) At precisely 3:23 a.m., Jesus rescued Wiese and returned him home, where he landed, terrified, on his living room floor.The book, published in 2006, spawned no serious imitators. In part that was due to its lack of the scientific gloss the heaven narratives bear (and the times demand)—one Christian nurse, posting on Amazon, rejected 23 Minutes because of her familiarity with NDEs. There is no explanatory traffic accident, cardiac arrest or brain-eating bacteria, nothing to indicate a hovering between life and death when the sufferer could peek through the curtain, nothing that didn’t point to a (very) bad dream.But Wiese’s book also went nowhere because hell no longer possesses the power it once held in Christianity. That’s particularly remarkable within an American religious milieu that was always attentive to warnings of hellfire. In 1741 Jonathan Edwards delivered what is often called the most famous sermon in American history, “Sinners in the hands of an angry God.” It is beautifully composed, rigorously logical (in terms of Calvinist theology) and frankly terrifying: “Men are held in the hand of God over the pit of hell; they have deserved the fiery pit, and are already sentenced to it; and God is dreadfully provoked.” Edwards was interrupted often during the sermon by congregants moaning and crying out, “What shall I do to be saved?” It’s doubtful he’d receive the same reaction today. Many modern Christians struggle to reconcile a loving God with one who would condemn the majority of humankind to eternal torment.

Within Roman Catholicism, notes Smith College world religion professor Carol Zaleski, the last three pontiffs, including Pope Francis, have all been supportive of the late Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar, who taught that Catholics have a duty to hope and pray for an empty hell, for the salvation of all. Even those Protestant traditions that have historically been more attuned to the gulf between the elect and the damned have seen vigorous theological debate about the afterlife, and the defence of ideas that effectively weaken the severity of divine wrath. Conditional immortality, for one, says true eternal life is reserved for the saved; souls in hell will eventually—and, in this context, mercifully—be annihilated.“Most people are no longer afraid of being seized at an unguarded moment,” judged wanting and flung into the fiery pit like Edwards’s congregants were, says Zaleski. “We are now more creatures of anxiety than of guilt.” The anxiety, as well as the interest, is surely tied to the greying of the Western world too, as our thoughts, conscious or not, increasingly turn to what’s next, whether we think that’s oblivion or some kind of afterlife. Baby boomers, by sheer force of numbers, have always driven cultural trends, from the lowering of voting and drinking ages in their youth to the politically untouchable status of retirement benefits today. It’s hardly surprising to see them favour not just the existence but the congenial nature of an afterlife.And that is where the heaven tourists finally mesh, not just with each other, but with the larger culture. We seem to be moving inexorably from a society where organized religion dominates issues of morality—and mortality—but not to the secular promised land of reason. Rather, we are orienting ourselves to a more personal spirituality, at once vague and autonomous. Ordinary sinners increasingly don’t believe that they deserve judgment, let alone hell. Theists and atheists alike dispute any earthly authority’s right to judge, and both feel NDEs give them reason to hope for something beyond the grave. And many believers confidently expect that God isn’t judgmental either.

KING JESUS IS COMING FOR US ANY TIME NOW. THE RAPTURE. BE PREPARED TO GO.

I WONDER WHY ROB FORD WON'T ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DRUG ALLIGATIONS.I SMELL GUILT ON THIS ONE.IF I WAS ACCUSED OF A SERIOUS ALLIGATION LIKE THIS I WOULD BE SPEAKING OUT QUICK FOR MY INNOCENCE. 

ITS MAY 24,13 AND ROB FORD CAME OUT WITH A STATEMENT TODAY HERE IT IS.

TORONTO – Here is the full text of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s statement Friday afternoon in which he denied he uses crack cocaine. Ford also addressed the players of the football team at Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School, where he was dropped Thursday as coach.Well, good afternoon everyone. I’d like to take this opportunity to address a number of issues that have circulated in the media over the last few days. There has been a serious accusation from the Toronto Star that I use crack cocaine. I do not use crack cocaine, nor am I an addict of crack cocaine. As for a video, I cannot comment on a video that I have never seen or does not exist. It is most unfortunate, very unfortunate, that my colleagues and the great people of this city have been exposed to the fact that I have been judged by the media without any evidence. This past week has not been an easy one. It has taken a great toll on my family and my friends and the great people of Toronto. For the past week, on the advice of my solicitor, I was advised not to say a word. I want to thank the people of this great city for their outpouring of support.The past few days have also ended a long relationship with Don Bosco. I would like to thank and congratulate all the young men that I’ve had the opportunity to coach and improve their lives in the last 10 years at Don Bosco. I will continue to support Don Bosco in spirit and I wish them great success for their upcoming season. These kids are phenomenal kids who have bright futures and can do anything if they put their mind to it.I would like to assure everyone that we are continuing to fight for the taxpayers every day and it’s business as usual at city hall. This administration is turning the corner and I will continue to do what the great people of the city elected me to do and that was to keep taxes low, to improve customer service, and to reduce the size and cost of government and invest in our infrastructure.I would also like to thank my former chief of staff Mark Towhey for his service and all the work that he has done. Again, I’d like to repeat: I can’t thank the people enough of Toronto for their support and being there and calling me and emailing me every single minute of this day. I would also like to thank you for being here today but most importantly folks, we have, I have, the city has the best deputy mayor in Doug Holyday that anyone could ever ask for. I want to thank Doug for being here and I want to thank my best friend, and I love him dearly, my brother Doug, for having to go through this nonsense. Thank you very much.

US Secretary of State John Kerry urged Israeli and Palestinian leaders on Friday to take "hard decisions" to revive the Middle East peace process, which has stalled for almost three years."We're getting toward a time now when hard decisions need to be made," he told a news conference in Tel Aviv at the end of his fourth visit to theregion since he took office in February.Kerry has been pressing Israel and the Palestinians to resume peace talks that broke down in September 2010.He said there was "one way" to make peace a reality, "and that is through direct negotiations."Ultimately it is the Israeli and Palestinian people who both decide the outcome... and who will get the greatest benefits" from a resumption of talks, he said."I know this region well enough to know there is scepticism, in some quarters there is cynicism, and there are reasons for it. There have been bitter years of disappointment," he said.   But he insisted: "It is our hope that by being methodical, careful, patient, but detailed and tenacious, that we can lay on a path ahead that can
conceivably surprise people and certainly exhaust the possibilities for peace."   And in a powerful message to Palestinians, who are used to just seeingAmerican motorcades sweep by into Abbas's high-walled headquarters compound, Kerry went for a stroll along a Ramallah street. Despite public pronouncements of support, there is growing frustration that there has been little sign of a shift in the long-held positions of the two sides.  Complicating efforts is the new Israeli government, which has moved more towards the right and includes some ministers who oppose a two-state solution.Kerry also warned on Friday that there was a time limit on the possibility of peace, after Thursday comments from British Foreign Secretary William Hague -- also on a visit to the region -- that the prospects of a two-state solution "cannot be kept alive forever."
"It is clear that in the long run the status quo is not sustainable," Kerry said.    The secretary of state also touched on the sensitive issue of Jewish settlement building in the Palestinian territories, one of the principal issues over which the 2010 talks stalled.   "The US position on settlements is clear and has not changed... we believe they should stop," he said.

13  The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
14  And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not.(ASSAD) This is the portion of them that spoil us,(ISRAEL) and the lot of them that rob us.

24  Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25  How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26  Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.

NATIONAL WIND WATCH

The high cost of wind power  

First of all, I must identify myself as an employee of Ontario Power Generation, and declare that the views and opinions expressed in this statement are my own and do not represent OPG in any way. After reading Bill Scollie’s letter concerning the high cost of wind power (Wind Farm — We All Pay, May 16), I did a little research. The weekend of May 11-12 was very windy in most of Ontario, from 7 p.m. on Friday, May 10 through to midnight of May 12. The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) showed wind produced 58,165 megawatts of power, beating the old production record several times. This power cost taxpayers $135 per megawatt, totalling $7,852,276. At the same time, because wind power has priority over cheaper forms of electricity production, Ontario had to export 127,361 megawatt hours at $20.40 per megawatt. But by far the worst fact about that weekend is that OPG spilled (or wasted) clean renewable hydro power because of wind priority on the grid. Here in the Northwest, where 90 per cent or more of our power comes from water, you can be sure we were spilling water here too. We could have generated the same amount of power from water for $1,186,500. The auditor general has stated that wind power is produced out of sync with demand and that the government did not do a business case study for its renewable energy program. If they had, would it make any difference?  Most people understand dollars and cents. People may now realize that this whole energy fiasco will one day come home to roost. . . in our wallets.Denis Beaupre-Slate River

Norfolk declares itself unwilling to host new wind farms  

Credit:  By DAVID JUDD | Port Dover Maple Leaf | www.portdovermapleleaf.com ~~

Norfolk County has declared itself unwilling to host new industrial wind farms.County council voted 8-1 last Tuesday to notify the provincial government that it wants no more wind turbines approved for Norfolk.
The message by itself will not stop the province from approving the proposed Port Ryerse Wind Farm or other projects.But councillors hope the province will take heed of the growing chorus of municipalities asking to put the brakes on Ontario’s push for wind energy.Premier Kathleen Wynne has said her government will not impose wind turbines on areas that aren’t willing hosts. In response, Norfolk has joined 17 municipalities that have declared themselves unwilling hosts.When wind turbines first came to Norfolk about a decade ago, Ontario needed more electricity, Port Dover Coun. John Wells told county council during debate on May 14.
But times have changed.Back then Coun. Wells supported green energy. Now he’s not so sure it’s a good thing.Ontario now has more power than it knows what to do with, he told council.And residents want to know more about possible health effects.“I support the citizens of Norfolk County and what they’re saying is ‘John, let’s wait for more information,’” Coun. Wells said.“What’s the hurry to build more (turbines) when there is not a need?”Port Rowan Coun. Betty Chanyi said turbines in her Houghton neighbourhood have not affected her health.But the neighbourhood is changing, she said. All but one neighbour has moved since turbines arrived.Roads have been “totally destroyed” by large equipment bringing in parts for the turbines, she said.Becoming an unwilling host is worth a try, Simcoe Coun. Charlie Luke said.“If we don’t complain, we will miss our chance and let our residents down,” he said.Coun. Luke said his son-in-law recently saw a steel graveyard of thousands of abandoned wind turbines in California.Dotting Norfolk’s forest, shoreline, small villages and rural setting with steel structures poking out of the natural beauty is “not what I envision this county is about,” Coun. Luke said.Waterford Coun. Harold Sonnenberg said continuing to subsidize wind farms is insanity.County council twice has called for a provincewide moratorium on new wind farms until health effects are known.It also has called for provincial and federal health studies, which are now underway.
Council also is refusing to endorse any new wind projects. Mayor Dennis Travale said provincial legislation says nothing about municipalities being willing or unwilling hosts.However, he said county council will send a clear message by declaring itself an unwilling host.Haldimand soon will declare itself an unwilling host, Mayor Travale said.Source:  By DAVID JUDD | Port Dover Maple Leaf | www.portdovermapleleaf.com

South Huron an “unwilling host” to wind turbines  

Credit:  By Scott Nixon, Times-Advocate Staff | May 22, 2013 | www.southwesternontario.ca ~~

SOUTH HURON — The Municipality of South Huron has officially declared itself an “unwilling host” to industrial wind turbines.Council passed a motion at its May 13 meeting declaring itself an unwilling host to wind turbines, while also requesting the province give more say to municipalities regarding municipal planning and site plan control for future wind and solar projects.As reported in last week’s Times-Advocate, council declined at its May 6 meeting to declare itself an unwilling host to wind turbines, but at its May 13 meeting, in front of about 25 anti-wind turbine protesters, council unanimously declared itself an unwilling host.The audience applauded council for its decision.Coun. Tom Tomes put forth the original motion that council requested greater say on future turbine projects, explaining that many concerns about turbines have been raised. He also expressed concern over the province’s Green Energy Act which took away municipal planning powers regarding wind and solar projects.“I think the premier made a mistake,” Tomes said.Coun. Bill Francis requested that the motion include the fact that South Huron is an unwilling host to turbine projects. Tomes agreed and the motion, which will be sent to Premier Kathleen Wynne and the Ministry of the Environment, was passed.

Green energy projects

By Valerie MacDonald, Northumberland Today

Wednesday, May 22, 2013 1:34:36 EDT PM

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP - Hamilton Township municipal councillors have voted unanimously to declare the township an "unwilling host" for any future large, green-energy, solar and wind projects.It joins Alnwick/Haldimand which took similar action last February. Alnwick/Haldimand council's motion addresses only industrial wind turbine farms located on the Oak Ridges Moraine. It also requests a moratorium on all industrial wind installations until such time as low frequency noise and infrasound study is reviewed “and mitigated through the Renewable Energy Approval process” along with “conclusive and independent clinical health studies that eliminate the potential of adverse impacts to health, safety and well-being of the public.
Hamilton Township declared itself an “unwilling host” during Tuesday's council session even before holding a much-promised public meeting to ascertain what its citizens actually want. But it has already received criticism about on-going construction of a private, mega-solar farm near Community Centre and Payne roads.The provincial government's Green Energy Act means the ultimate decisions still remain with the government, Deputy Mayor Isobel Hie said, drawing attention to the reality of the power of the motion.
Despite comments made by Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne shortly after assuming office, that people would be consulted first about future infrastructure, no new regulations have been put specifically in place, although municipal "support" for a project now provides a greater score on applications that receive it.
If township residents say at the upcoming public information meeting that they want large solar and wind projects, "we can rescind" the motion about being an "unwilling host," said Councillor Donna Cole who introduced the motion and has been pushing for the designation for months.Cole argued council needs to make its intentions known now before any other contracts are signed.There was significant discussion about whether all solar and wind projects would be unacceptable, even small solar rooftop and small field installations, but Cole finally identified those larger megawatt projects as the ones the township wants to avoid (the exact number was estimated at 10 megawatts – but is to be checked and changed, if necessary).
Mayor Mark Lovshin pointed out that policing small installations, about which council gets no notification, would be impossible."It's showing our due diligence" in letting developers and the provincial government know "our point of view" in passing the motion now, Councillor John Davidson said in supporting Cole's motion.Deputy Mayor Isobel Hie noted that proposals for mega solar and wind projects have already pitted families and neighbours against one another.She was referring to Clean Breeze's now defunct wind tower projects near Grafton and Centreton which a grassroots organization has fought for the past several years, including filing a lawsuit over potential property devaluation due to the proposals."What would it mean to our project here?" asked Councillor Gary Woods, referring to the 2,000-square-foot, $450,000 municipal office expansion at Camborne. Its building committee is examining the installation of solar panels as a way of reducing energy costs and staff are evaluating different options. The solar options for the municipal expansion would not be affected because of the size involved, councillors were told.Cole called for a recorded vote which meant the mayor, who was chairing the meeting and normally only votes in a tie situation, had to vote. Mayor Lovshin joined the rest of council in supporting the "unwilling host" designation.Asked if this motion would impede the township's deal with Northumberland Community Power Co-Operative INC to install a rooftop solar project on the Baltimore Recreation Centre and rent the space for it, chief administrative officer John Baird said this was already in progress and the motion addresses only future projects. The Co-Operative project is expected to generate 217 kilowatts of power and the lease will bring the township $9,796 annually.At the moment, the Co-Operative's board of directors is not contemplating large green energy projects, said one of its spokesmen, Richard Tyssen. There are no other projects proposed in the township at this time, he said.Like Baird, Tyssen did not see the township's "unwilling host" designation by its council as impeding the Baltimore Recreation Centre rooftop project that has received initial notification from the Ontario Power Authority that it is eligible. It will be another 60 days before it knows it has won the competition for connecting the project to the power grid.valerie.macdonald@sunmedia.ca

Drowning in debt Ontario Liberals need to go - 7:09 pm, May 2nd, 2013 

LORRIE GOLDSTEIN | QMI AGENCY

TORONTO -- The best approach to dealing with Premier Kathleen Wynne's first -- and, let us hope, last Liberal budget -- is to treat it as a work of fiction.It promises not to raise taxes -- for now -- but makes it clear new "revenue tools" (taxes and tolls) are on their way, allegedly to pay for transit infrastructure.
It promises the Liberals will balance the budget by 2017-18, but projects the current $9.8-billion provincial deficit will increase by almost 20%, to $11.7 billion, this year.It promises fiscal responsibility, but projects Ontario's total debt will increase by $42 billion, to $323 billion, a 15% increase over the next three years.
It promises to invest in public services, but projects paying interest on debt will be the government's fastest-growing expense, at 5.5% annually, rising to $12.2 billion annually by 2015-16. That will be the government's largest single expenditure, outside of funding health care and education.

It "proposes" an average 15% cut on auto insurance rates for good drivers, but provides no timeline, other than the Liberals' hope premiums will start to fall within a year to 18 months.It promises to listen "to people's ideas and (act) on their concerns," while the Liberals ram industrial wind turbines down the throats of rural Ontarians.It comes from a leader of the Liberal party, Wynne, who claims to know nothing about why her party's political decision to cancel two natural gas plants has cost the public at least $585 million.
If Wynne doesn't know what happened, it's because she chose not to know, to be able to claim "plausible deniability."That's the oldest political trick in the book.What it isn't, is leadership.Finance Minister Charles Sousa told the legislature his first budget "speaks to the priorities and values of our new government and of Ontario's new premier."But Wynne's first budget could have been written by former Liberal premier Dalton McGuinty, who came to power in 2003 by lying to voters, promising not to raise taxes and then imposing the largest single tax grab in Ontario's history.

A decade later, we know this is how Liberals govern.They will say anything, including things they know are untrue when they say them, to get elected and, when caught in their own lies, refuse to take responsibility for them.Now that they need NDP Leader Andrea Horwath's support to ensure their political survival, nothing they say can be trusted.When Horwath first floated her idea of a 15% rate cut on auto insurance rates over one year, Wynne rejected it, claiming the best way to reduce rates was the old insurance industry dodge of reducing fraud, which hasn't worked.But that was then and this is now.Now Wynne is for the very thing she was against a few months ago, provided it wins the support of the NDP, who accuse the minority Liberal government of political corruption every day, while continuing to support it.Simply put, the Liberals are liars and their pants are on fire.Nothing they promise can, or should, be trusted by anyone with a modicum of common sense.After 10 years in power, the Liberals have become so politically corrupt and are trailing so much political baggage -- eHealth, Ornge, cancelled gas plants, skyrocketing hydro bills due to their reckless green energy policies -- that voters need to send them on a long trip.Back to the opposition benches.
And while it will cost us $92 million for an election, it will be well worth it.After all, the Liberals can spill that much over lunch.

Smart Meters: We can monitor everything you do in your home (Video)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsiTahuKoNI&feature=player_embedded
Although Smart Meters are promoted as energy efficiency components, the actual intent of these meters is to track your use of energy in real time across every 24hr. period, which will allow the provider to bill you for that period at the highest energy rate for the day.They have another purpose: thanks to Smart Meters, every appliance in your home will be monitored.As you will be rationed only so much energy for any 24 hr. period, opening and closing your refridgerator too many times during the daily billing cycle can cause your power to be disrupted. Your use of lights, appliances and even your time on the Net will be charged against your daily allowance of power.Have you seen the ads for the appliances that call for help when they need repairs? Like I need my stove sending out an SOS and having a “repair” man show up because the back burner made an appointment. I don’t want anything in my house that is sending and retrieving messages without my knowledge or consent. And what if the repair man shows up and you don’t want the appliance fixed at that time? Ummmm. No one seems to have the answer to this.Smart Meters are not about energy efficiency or any such nonsense. They are a real-time tracking device that monitors your household and what you do in it as part of the total surveillance system being put in place by the government. This is just another invasion of privacy. Your individual power supply can be disrupted at any time, as well as your whole neighborhood, community or state.Welcome to Smart Grid!
