I only am escaped..

Job 1:12-21 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah. And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn. And there came a messenger to Job and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them; and they of Sheba fell upon them and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn; and behold, there came a great wind from over the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they died; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee. And Job rose up, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped; and he said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah!

Note that “I only am escaped” is indicative of having escape performed upon you; while “I alone escaped” is the pretense one performed escape oneself by supposedly using the supposed ‘free’ will properly.

There is a very great difference. The first is Truth. The second doesn’t exist.

TALLMANSVILLE, West Virginia (Reuters) - Only one man survived after an explosion in a West Virginia coal mine, a mine official said on Wednesday, transforming joy into grief and anger just hours after a mistaken report emerged that 12 of 13 missing miners were still alive 40 hours after the blast.

Ben Hatfield, president of mine owner International Coal Group Inc., blamed the earlier report on “miscommunication” and said that the company had then waited until it could determine which of the miners were dead or alive to tell the families their fate.

Anne Meredith, whose father died in the incident, said, “I feel that we were lied to all along,” adding that she planned to sue ICG.

Virginia Dean, whose uncle was in the Sago mine in central West Virginia, reacted by saying: “Only one lived. They lied.”

Hatfield said, “The initial report from the rescue team to the command center indicated multiple survivors, but that information proved to be a miscommunication.”

He denied the company had confirmed the initial report, and said he did not want to assign blame to the rescue team.

Several newspapers splashed headlines such as “Miracle in the Mine” on their frontpages which went to press before the truth emerged. “Alive! Miners beat odds” was USA Today’s headline with a picture of two smiling family members.

Late on Tuesday night rescue workers located the 12, who had been trapped some 13,000 feet inside the mine since 6:30 a.m. (1130 GMT) on Monday when the explosion had spread lethal gases in the mine.

The sole survivor, Randal McCloy, was taken to a nearby hospital where staff physician Dr. Susan Long said he arrived unconscious and in critical condition. He was stabilized with a breathing tube and sent to a bigger hospital, she said.

A doctor at West Virginia Univeristy Hospital later told a news conference McCloy was being treated for dehydration and a collapsed lung and was being kept sedated. “I think youth always helps,” the doctor told a news conference, commenting on possible reasons why the 27-year-old McCloy survived while the others perished.

Ecclesiates 9:11,12 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to the intelligent, nor yet favour to men of knowledge; but time and chance happeneth to them all. For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are taken with the snare, like them are the children of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

The everyday of it goes on: The Blessing of Jesus Christ on the Just and the Unjust

Psalm 44:3,4 For not by their own sword did they take possession of the land, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst delight in them. Thou thyself art my king, O God: command deliverance for Jacob.

…And men cannot mention what God has done in order that their own speech, which is anti-Christ, portray themselves through speech and sacred alphabets as wise and heroic.

72 explosives cache sites unconvered

CAMP BLUE DIAMOND, AR RAMADI, Iraq – U.S. Marines discovered more than ten metric tons of munitions hidden at 72 cache sites 39 km south of Fallujah during the week-long Operation Green Trident.

First Reconnaissance Battalion, Regimental Combat Team 8 began the operation last week near the village of Al Latifiyah to search suspected locations for hidden weapon caches. More than 1,000 artillery and mortar rounds were unearthed along with scores of rocket propelled grenades and hand grenades. Most of the caches were shallowly buried along the banks of the Euphrates River and surrounding area.

The weight of the explosives contained within these munitions is approximately one metric ton (2,200 lbs). The artillery and mortar rounds are commonly used by insurgents to make improvised explosive devices.

Amos 9:1-5 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar; and he said, Smite the chapiter that the thresholds may shake; and break all of them in pieces, in the head; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not get away by flight, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered. Though they dig into Sheol, thence shall my hand take them; and though they climb up to the heavens, thence will I bring them down; and though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and it shall bite them; and though they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good. And the Lord Jehovah of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it melteth, and all that dwell therein shall mourn; and it shall wholly rise up like the Nile, and sink down as the river of Egypt.

Iran, Syria and Pakistan looking to gain and enhance Nuclear weapons

No surprise here.

Excerpted from: Jerusalem Post | Breaking News from Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish World

A confidential intelligence report says that Iran’s government has combed Europe for parts to build both nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles, a British newspaper said Wednesday.

The 55-page assessment, which draws on material from Western intelligence agencies, offers names and locations of suspected players in the global trade in components needed to build weapons of mass destruction, the Guardian newspaper said in a front-page report.

“In addition to sensitive goods, Iran continues intensively to seek the technology and know-how for military applications of all kinds,” the Guardian quoted the report as saying.

The report - based on data obtained by British, French, German and Belgian agencies - also concluded that Syria and Pakistan have been scouring the marketplace for technology and chemicals needed to enrich uranium and develop rocket programs. Russia’s role in the escalating arms build up in the Middle East also is outlined, as is the role of Chinese companies supplying North Korea’s program. …

The report comes almost simultaneously with Iran’s stated intention to resume refining uranium for itself and with a “coincidental” ABC report from Iran in which the hardliners are portrayed as not having “that much power” in their own country and not being popular with the young people to make them appear to be merely bluffing and a weak government on their last leg desperately psy-oping the world for pride.

One young woman says “I do what I want.” The reporter says “That would have been unthinkable for anyone to say even a few years ago.”

Proverbs 26:24-27 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, but he layeth up deceit within him: when his voice is gracious, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart. Though his hatred is covered by dissimulation, his wickedness shall be made manifest in the congregation.
Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein; and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him.

It is not coincidence that Iran has cracked down on the press by closing magazines and newspapers..

(January 4, 2006)

Iran’s hard-line judiciary has closed down more than 100 pro-democracy publications in the past five years on vague charges of insulting religious sensibilities or top clerics.

Since the election of ultraconservative President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the government has given the judiciary a free hand to prosecute its crackdown against the media, which began in 2000.

Under former reformist president Mohammad Khatami, the Culture Ministry backed media organizations against the hard-line judiciary.

Asia, a daily newspaper, and Nour-e-Banovan magazine were ordered closed Monday by the Culture Ministry, which monitors the press. No reasons were given.

“We got a telephone call from the Culture Ministry that said we have no permission to continue printing our paper,” said Asia spokesman Navid Jamshidi. “Officials have given no reasons. We don’t know why our paper has been ordered closed.”

Officials at the office of Alaeddin Zohourian, a senior Culture Ministry official, confirmed the report but refused to give details.

… and yet now, at that exact moment ABC appears to go and get the ‘honest reporting’ that makes Iran look friendlier and weaker without being censored. Right.

Anti-Christ has deceived the West it can depend on emotional interpretation to understand any threat, as if the Iranians would never embarrass themselves to manufacture pride in the West and put the West to sleep.

The religiously inclined woman wearing a scarf smiles and drives a go-cart. She says the ideal woman lines the women of the West love to hear about and from each other. “Nobody tells me what to do.”

The Islamics know their enemy’s heart. Because it is the same as their own heart. Both have never known Christ Jesus. Both are deceived free will exists and that their own ‘free will is being thwarted by the other guy’s wrong use of his ‘free’ will.

But when you can only see a threat as that which might limit ‘free’ will you are fundamentally deceived and buy into the lies of your enemies.

There is no free will. That’s why nuclear missiles in the backyard of an enemy are more of danger than you know. You have no control over the actions of even yourself. He has no control over his own actions.

Romans 9:11-13 the children indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls), it was said to her, The greater shall serve the less: according as it is written, I have loved Jacob, and I have hated Esau.

If anyone had free will, then everyone would do their own ideal behavior. Like never using a nuclear weapon to further their own ideal behavior in others and understanding of power.
