"Living" Proof: We are Living in the Days of Noah

A familiar phrase used in Bible prophecy is the term "Days of Noah." Jesus warned, "For as in the days of Noah before the flood, they were eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the very day Noah entered the ark. And they did not know or understand until the flood came and swept them all away-so will be the coming of the Son of Man (Matthew 24: 38-39.)" This illustration is used to show mankind what signs they must look for upon Christ return. The book of Genesis records that before flooding the Earth, the Lord saw that the wickedness of men was great, and that every intent of the thoughts of men's heart was continually evil. This description can easily be applied to the current times we are living in. From all corners of the Earth, various societies can hear the bloodthirsty hearts of the terrorist beating to the same deadly drum. Are there more clues that allude to the fact that we are truly indeed living in the Days of Noah? Could there have been more going on besides the wickedness the Lord witnessed?

According to the Book of Jasher, there was certainly something else was happening. The book of Jasher is a historical book referenced in Joshua Chapter 10 Verse 13 and 2nd Samuel Chapter 1 Verse 18. It describes that during the Days of Noah:

"After the fallen angels went into the daughters of men, the sons of men taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order to provoke the Lord. God saw the earth was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals (Jasher 4:18.)"

It may seem strange that over four thousand years ago, the mixture of species was achievable during the times of Noah. The fallen angels had the capability and understanding to do such things as genetic mixing. It is common knowledge that scientist perform genetic manipulation on different animals. That's nothing new. However, in the last couple of years, scientists have crossed the dangerous line of creating laboratory animals with human DNA-developing mice and sheep with human livers, hearts, and brains. According to scientist, Paul Elias, "The biological co-mingling of animal and human is now evolving into even more exotic and unsettling mixes of species."

In addition, another strong indication that we are truly living in of the Days of Noah is the parallel between the men of Noah's day versus the men during our time. For the men in Noah's time clearly understood a flood would soon come, yet instead of repenting-they chose evil over good. By comparison, the men during our times do not see the need to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. Sadly, they find it more important to question the validity of Christ's return.

With the recent London homicide bombings on July 7th, 2005, most countries with the exception of the United Kingdom went on with business as usual. Just as everyone went about his or her normal lives when Noah continued to build the ark, people go about their lives ignoring the clear signs of Christ's return. They refuse to hearken to the truth that is deeply written on their heart, opting instead to follow their own sin.

Before the flood came, people deemed Noah a lunatic and did not incline their ears to his warnings. How ironic is it that Christians are called heretics for sounding the familiar trumpet on Christ impending arrival? He is returning. My only desire is that you ask yourself a question: Do you wish to have the same fate as the people who were left outside the ark when God sealed the doors shut? Make a decision.








Nevada York, Author of Caught Up and Mahogany's Revelation, released her latest book in July of 2004 to rave reviews from readers. Nevada's published novels are an accomplishment that has been well worth the wait. Not willing to be deterred, her determination has bought about the publication of two memorable novels. http://nevadayork.com

Climate Change, Libya and Living Free of the Future!

Friends,
First, some predictions about current events crowding the quickening train of our times.


CNN reports something I have been writing about since the early 1990s (click on millennium prophecies). The mainstream belatedly catches on because even the corporate controlled news cannot keep a lid on this reality any longer. This is not the first time a team of globally respected scientists have informed news agencies that your record winter storms and blizzards are a direct result of global warming pumping the atmosphere with the “gas” to fuel more powerful storms: moisture. CNN’s anchors may still carefully parse their words to fit corporate editorial limitations. For instance, calling global warming “climate change.” We do not want to talk about a warming climate change because that will upset our fossil fuel advertisers.


Climate change to what, then?


Here is the basic scientific fact: ONLY a warming climate can contain more moisture. Colder climates create dry atmospheres. The onset of an Ice Age would weaken storm activity, not feed it fuel. That is not to say that global warming may trigger an ice age. But let us stay on storm track here: a more humid global atmosphere makes storms that are more powerful. It is not just a nebulous “change”. Those clouds are floating in globally warming air. But as long as the corporate leash is on editorially tight, you will not hear the mainstream news anchors call the blizzards of this winter a symptom of global warming.


What you will hear is today’s CNN report saying that scientists warn “climate change” injecting more moisture in the atmosphere would be responsible for the violent winter weather rapidly becoming violent and early spring storms. They will not tell you the “why”, just that the climate changed.


Wild weather of winter dramatically shifting to wild spring storms is something I detailed last year when writing Predictions for 2011. Brace for record snowmelt floods in the US as globally “warmed” subtropical moisture begins to push and shove into arctic air over America’s Tornado Alley this March and then will come the hurricanes. Early — the first tropical storms in May.


Now to Libya…


In my first article about Qaddafi’s future at the onset of the uprising (click on Libyan), I said the following, posted on 22 February: “What happens in Libya will be similar but I fear it will take longer and be a far more bloody civil war. Unlike Romania’s civil war, Libya is among the most deeply entrenched tribal societies in the Arab world. This civil war will be won or lost by who can manage the complex alliances and promise patronage to key Libyan tribes…


“Gaddafi will try to take [the eastern Libyan oil fields] back, promise reward of the rich oil industry to those western tribes and sub-tribes leaders who support the crackdown.


“People inside Libya phone the outside world about Gaddafi’s acts of genocide. Believe it. This civil war could descend into a battle between Libya’s tribes to control oil resources.


“At the time of this writing (22 February 2011), Gaddafi and his tribal allies in the secret police and armed forces are ruthlessly liquidating rebels in Tripoli while air strikes on Benghazi continue.


“I predict Gaddafi intends to launch his heavily armored forces against Benghazi, the heart of the revolution.”


As predicted, his forces are gathering for a push on the rebellious eastern provinces. Once again we have another spirited and sincere revolution of the masses in an Arab country that inspires so many of us to hope that democracy can spread in North Africa and the Middle East. However, I have an ongoing concern. Like Tunisia where this Jasmine Revolution wave began, spreading to Egypt and like Egypt and all the other erupting demonstrations in Yemen, Jordan, Oman, Bahrain, Iraq and Syria: the revolutions are leaderless and remain amorphous mobs. They have a heart, but are so far running about headless.


Gaddafi is “daffy” but not dumb.


Gaddafi had planned for an eventual civil war by denying the Libyan military units in the east proper training and military equipment. He had expected the defections from those natives of the east in his military industrial complex. I sense that the early chaos has settled and Gaddafi has stabilized his command structure. The air force is once again bombing the rebels because those pilots who have refused to fight have either escaped to the East or been shot and replaced by Algerian and other mercenary pilots.


I said it at the beginning of the Libyan Revolution and I say it again, as a compassionate warning to the revolutionaries in the eastern coastal cities of Libya, such as Benghazi: Gaddafi will launch an offensive on you. It will happen this month, and you people of Benghazi will need to get yourself organized or by April, you will have Gaddafi’s tanks shooting you point blank in your streets. You will have your beach side demonstrations strafed by Gaddafi’s Tripolean and Algerian pilots in jets and attack helicopters.


Listen well; there will be no “No Fly Zone” organized by the US Navy or the NATO air forces flying across the Mediterranean from Italy. That simply will not happen as long as you continue to be a leaderless circus in the streets, playing with your rusting, second hand tanks, and shooting off into the air magazine after wasted magazine of your secondhand anti-aircraft guns for the entertainment of brave Ben Wederman’s CNN cameras.


You need to organize.


Undisciplined revolutions of leaderless masses never succeed. And many an organized revolution can also succumb to a tyrannical state, initially caught off guard, but soon finding its savage footing and take aim, putting fire and chemical weapons on the cities and towns of rebels.

Let us change definitions of prophecy from predicting and forecasting to its deeper definition: divine inspiration.


The response to my last blog’s offer to share information and links about the meditation techniques I use has seen hundreds of readers ask for them and express their gratitude for my work. Today I wish to answer one of these readers who yesterday posted the following email. My reply is inserted in it. I wanted to share with the community at large this interchange, because many of you share these views.


RACHEL
I’d like to start by saying that I’ve been on your mailing list for over three years, and I’ve bought a few of your wonderful e-books. I know at times it must feel disheartening when it’s such a challenge to keep a venture like Hogue Prophecy going, but we need you :^)


HOGUE
Thank you for your kind words, Rachel. Thanks also for purchasing my books in the past, you have helped my work continue. (I like your pointy nosed smiley face.)


RACHEL
John, I’m a writer, and a student of epistemology and metaphysics, and I’m quite impressed with the tone of your most recent newsletters.


HOGUE
Thank you. That is nice to hear coming from a fellow writer. The last few blogs have been difficult children to rear for posting. Problem children can turn out to be great pieces, I suppose. I am at least glad that the last several have been well received.


RACHEL
In your opinion, how close do you think we really are to reaching a critical mass of collective consciousness to wake up from this dream of physical being?


HOGUE
It is a good and sincere question but perhaps it is the wrong question to ask, because it makes one think of consciousness as a collective phenomenon rather than an individual phenomenon.


It is better to ask how close you are to a critical mass of understanding by venturing inward inside your “self.”


It may sound strange, but the best thing you could do for the collective lifting of consciousness is to let all attention directed towards the collective go. Try an experiment. Gather your full awareness moment to moment on your own transformation. That should not be construed to mean you stop whatever work you are doing to better the world.


What if nothing needs to be forced to change, because this enforcer is the very thing in the way?


I am simply suggesting that you “add” something to each and every moment, each and every action or inaction. I am suggesting that awareness be nourished and added to your life. The meditations Osho taught me are not escapist. They are “engage-ist”. They are for life, not an escape from life.


RACHEL
I know a lot of people would love to find enlightenment; I know I sure would. But really, I think the most important ‘historic’ point will be that point where enough individuals begin to break their slumber, to induce a cascade effect in the rest of humanity.


HOGUE
That is how the mind reasons us away from making a critical mass of enlightenment happen. Can you see it in your mind’s words here?


You would like enlightenment. Everyone would like it… but… it is more important to think about the abstract possibilities of a critical mass of enlightenment happening…etc. In other words, let us sit back and catch the wave of changing consciousness, not “be” the wave.


See how the mind has taken you away from the only place such a critical mass consciousness is born?


The mind takes us constantly away from our center because that is how it has been conditioned in us from birth onwards.


This ensures that you will always be chasing things that are abstracts and not bringing your energy here and now to this moment, this body, this living, present evernow.


The predictable future is made of mind. What if the being never had a past or a future? What if being was about being eternally present?


Try bringing an awareness into your life that unlocks this eternity, while daily life with its changes and movement spins around and around like a storm circling but never disturbing this eye of the life storm: the witnessing consciousness.


Whether the rest of the world achieves a critical mass of enlightenment or not is a distraction, really — a distraction of the mind to keep you from reaching your critical mass of enlightenment right here, right now.


If enough individuals understand this, then the collective will change. But it will only change when enough individuals drop their minds’ infatuation with the abstract of a critical collective mass consciousness change.


Perhaps consciousness is like love.


When you intensely seek love, it never comes.


When you let go and just be, Love comes dancing in.


Mass consciousness changing?


The masses never become conscious. Only individuals.


In your next passage, Rachel, there is another example of how the mind in us can sound like it almost knows what it is talking about. (Please do not take that personally. Everybody’s mind does this.)


Perhaps a mind can take things personally because it is the ruler of personality. The word “personality” comes from persona — Latin for “mask”. Only the false mind programs in us pretending to be real can take things personally.


So, with that in mind – or better with that IN of meditation, watching mind, let us look again at these words:


RACHEL
Yes, the world is in trouble because of resource over-consumption, but this is really just a part of the dream (drama?) of physical reality. For individual souls, and for the collective consciousness we are all holographic fragments of, this so-called physical reality we’ve constructed is, in spiritual reality, completely mutable. There isn’t anything we can’t change, and in a heart-beat.


HOGUE
These are all unsubstantiated, spiritual platitudes. They may have a fresher, new age “mask” or “label” but these are the kind of “labeled” opiates religions old and new have been pushing on us to pop like bromides since humanity’s quest for enlightenment began.


I am not saying your words are not true. The best drugs ape truth. Look at the people who thought dropping LSD gave them enlightenment. All drugs get us addicted to the experience at the cost of forgetting the “experiencer”.


So, let us be clear. I am not saying that anything you listed above is untrue. It is a pretty picture, like a beautiful picture of a sumptuous feast. Has anyone been nourished by eating pictures of food?


RACHEL
I ask myself on a regular basis when we might start seeing the first signs of a collective ‘waking-up’.


HOGUE
I predict that the people who are looking for signs will never see this collective ‘wake up’ happen, now or any moment in the next thousand years from “now”, because it is not a collective phenomenon that ever strays like a herd of sheep, from “now.”


RACHEL
I know that we still have many hundreds of years before we grow beyond physical living…


HOGUE
We assume that we “know” — that is why it takes hundreds and thousands of years. Because we are programmed by society’s mind to think we know — to think that it will take hundreds of years before it happens. The mind programs us to postpone, to wander away from this moment — perhaps the only place outside of time when waking-up can happen.


It never happened before because I no longer live in the before. It never happens later because I do not live in later. I am not living 100 years or 1,000 years from now.


It does not happen when enough people attain a critical mass of enlightenment because they are all waiting for somebody else to start that mass consciousness rolling.


Can it happen at all unless it happens to you right here, right now?


RACHEL
…but at some point we must wake enough to at least be able to choose between focusing in the physical, or in whatever higher state of being we’re in when we’re more ‘awake’.


HOGUE
That is the mind making another bromide for the sleeping soul to drink away its divine indigestion with a lovely idea, a sweet thought — sweet dreams.


RACHEL
What are your thoughts? Ha, ha, when, John, when? ;^)


HOGUE
I have given thoughts, but do not take up and pop these thoughts as another bromide pill. Take them as a hypothesis. A challenge. I wish to give the mind indigestion because the mind cannot digest what I have indicated in these words.


Now, what if you all have a destiny with eternity that is ever yours, eternally waiting, in the unguarded instant of the next moment?


What if the advent of your critical mass of enlightenment is ever close — ever now?


Explore it. Relax into it.


These meditation techniques I began offering since my last blog entry can be tools to access the eternity of the blissful present.


I will freely give you links, YouTube spots and other information about the meditations I use.


Just contact me.

PS—There is an Antichrist Unconscious that Nostradamus completely missed in his fascinating search through prophecy for the third and final man of evil threatening our future. I spend 25 years on the trail of the Antichrist, until I was looking at him face to face in the least expected encounter. Read the book about a journey to the Antichrist Unconscious and how one can be free of the shadow.

Debt Free Living, A Simple Concept?

Sounds simple, right?
Living debt free is a simple concept: Spend less than you earn, and accrue no debts. Pay as you go. Sounds simple, right? So, why are so many of us unable to do it? The financial experts tell us to “live within our means,” give us plans to get out of debt, and help us develop budgets. But in the end, most of us inevitably find ourselves back in the hole, trying to dig out. Why didn’t it work? Why, after paying off all of our loans and credit cards a year ago, are we facing mounting bills once again?

Permanent lifestyle changes
Going back to the basics, staying debt free happens when you spend less than you earn and are committed to live that way. How did you get out of debt last year? Chances are, you developed a plan, saw it through long enough to get out of that hole, then went back to your old habits. But in order to stay debt free, you need to plan for the long-term and make permanent lifestyle changes. Eliminating debt is only half the battle; you also need to develop sound financial skills to keep you on track down the road.

Plan now for those expenses
So, how do you plan for a future that involves minimum debt? “Debt free” is a misnomer, as few people can afford to pay cash for a home or car these days.
First, develop a long-term financial plan. Do you want to buy a home, or a new car, in the next five years? Are you planning to start a family? Plan now for those expenses, and start putting money away. Instead of waiting until after the purchase to budget for the $500 car payment, start setting it aside now, and use it as a down payment. Remember, less money borrowed means less interest paid.

Budget, be honest about your expenses
Next, develop a realistic budget. Budget is not a bad word. In fact, successful people and corporations live by budgets. To create your personal budget, you must take into account your current expenses, your long-term plan, and the development of an emergency fund. Every budget should also include some “me” money – this is cash you can spend, without strings or thought, on whatever you want. Be honest about your expenses and goals when you develop your budget – this needs to be a plan you can follow for years, not for weeks or months. You need to think of a budget as a life plan to reach your goals, not a restriction on your money. Don’t know where to start? There are many programs and professionals around that can help you develop a sound budget, if you need assistance.

Discipline, follow it through
Finally, you must face the hardest part of staying out of debt – making these plans part of your everyday lifestyle. Most people don’t fail because they have a bad plan; they fail because they lose sight of the plan, and don’t have the passion and discipline to follow it through. Now that your budget and long-term plan are done, stop debating and discussing them – it’s time to follow through, and live by the decisions you made. You may need to be brutally honest with yourself, and take some drastic actions to make this work: If you tend to use your credit card impulsively, then take it out of your wallet and leave it at home. If you enjoy shopping with friends, only go when you have “me” money to spend. Only shop in places that fit into your budget (there’s no point test driving a Jaguar, if you can only afford a Kia) to minimize temptation. Practice saying “no thank you.” Remember, this is your money.

Retrain your thinking and spending
Yes, debt free living is a simple concept, and one not easily executed. Many of us have spent our entire lives learning to live in debt; it will take time, commitment, and skill to retrain our thinking and spending, and get us back to living this way. Living debt free requires change, and change is a process. We will face setbacks, make mistakes, and wonder “Why did I do this?” at some point. But in the end, adjusting our lives in these simple ,yet crucial, ways will provide many benefits.

Some people may be in too far over their heads and would benefit from some simple professional help. Professional help with managing existing debt – with an approach to get out of debt, or maybe debt consolidation of an out-of-control mix of debts.

A current sponsor of this site, debt consolidation, may be able to help.
