the Wickedness of mankind

When mankind had spread all over the world, and girls were being born, some of the heavenly beings saw that these girls were beautiful, so they took the ones they liked.

Then the Lord said "I will not allow people to live forever; they are mortal. From now on they will live no longer than 120 years."

In those day's and even later, there were giants on the earth who were descendants of human women and the heavenly beings. They were the great heroes and famous men of long ago. When the Lord saw how wicked everyone on earth was, and how evil their thoughts were all the time, he was sorry that he had made them and put them on earth. He was so filled with regret that he said "I will wipe out these people that I have created, and the animals, and the birds, because I am sorry I made any of them." But the Lord was pleased with Noah.

This is the story of Noah. He had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Noah had no falts and he was the only good man of his time. He lived in fellowship with God, but everyone else was evil in God's sight, and violence had spread everywhere. God looked at the world and saw that it was evil, for the people were all living evil lives.
God said to Noah "I have decided to put an end to all mankind. I will destroy them completely, because the world is full of their violent deeds. Build a boat for yourself out of goood tember; make rooms in it and cover it with tar inside and out. Make it 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. Make a roof for the boat and leave a space of 18 inches between the roof and the sides. Build it with three decks and put a door in the side.
I am going to going to send a flood to destroy every living being. Every living thing will die but I will make a covenant with you. Go in the boat with your wife and sons and their wives. Take into the boat male and female of every kind of animal and of every kind of bird, in order to keep them alive. Take along all kinds of food for you and for them. Noah did everything that God commanded. The Lord said to Noah, "Go into the boat with your whole family; I have found that you are the only one in all the world who does what is right. Take with you seven pairs of each kind of ritually clean animal, but only one pair, but only one pair of every unclean animal, every creaping thing of the ground two of every kind shall come into the ark. And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.

Noah was six hundered years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth. And Noah and his Wife and his sons and his sons wives went into the ark to escape the waters of the floods. Of clean animal and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground two and two male and female went into the ark with Noah as God has commanded Noah. And after seven day's the waters of the flood came upon the earth.

In the six hunderedth year of Noah's life, on the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst fourth, and the windows of the heavens we opened. And rain fell on the earth forty day's and forty nights. On the very same day Noah and his sons Ham and Shem and Japheth and Noah's wife and Noah's three wives of his sons with him entered the ark, they and every beas,t according to their kind, and all the live stock according to their kinds, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth according to it's kind, and of every bird according to it's kind, every wings creature.

They went into the ark with Noah two and two of all flesh in witch was a breath of life. And those that entered male and female went in as God has commanded him. And God shut him in.

The flood continued forty day's on the earth. The waters increased and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. The waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed mightily that all the high mountains under the heavens were covered. The waters prevailed covering the mountains fifteen cubits deep. And all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, livestock, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all mankind. Everything that was on dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died. He blotted out every living thing of the face of the ground man, animal, creeping things and birds of the heavens. They were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left and those that were with him in the ark. And the waters prevailed 150 day's.

THE ORIGINAL CREATION Genisis (1:2)

The book of the Beginnings start with the creation of the universe, and the author accounts for it in one sentence "In the beginning God created the heven and the earth." He says nothing as to the details of how or when but just in the far-off beginning, however remote that may be God created all things.
Some hold that after the original creation of verse 1 there was a pre-Adamic catastrophe plunging the world into the condition of chaos discribed in verse 2. If such was the case. the time interval between the two verses could be millions of years long, accounting for whatever are the geologic ages of the earth's history.
The other view is that verse 2 describes not disorderly chaos but anunformed mass of material, wich God then proceeded to takeand form on the creative days according to the predetermined design.
The Sixth and seventh
Let us notice the order of events on the six great days as though we were watching the transformation taking place before our very eyes. Fist, we see the earth, wich was without form and void, and the spirit of God brooding over it, as though He were looking out over the vast expanse, meditating. On the first day God said, "Let there be light" and instantly there was light. The light was separated from the darkness. God called the former Day; the latter He called Night.
On the Second Day God formed the firmament, the great expanse divided waters that were about it from waters under it. The expanse He called Heaven.
On the third Day there was a gathering together of the waters under the heavenly expanse into what God called Seas, and the dry land wich He called Earth appeared, forming the continents and Islands. Soon afterwards green grass and trees were made to appear.
On the fourth day the lights in the firmament of heaven, that is, the sun, the moon, and stars, were made to function.

2012 The ancient Maya

In 2012, THE GRAND odometer of Maya timekeeping known as the Long Count, an accumulation of various smaller time cycles, will revert to zero and a new cycle of 1,872,000 days (5,125,37 years) will begin. As long awaited Y12 date nears, tales of what will happen have proliferated on the Internet, in print, and in movies. As a result, on December 21, 2012 thousands of pilgrims, many in organized "sacred tour" groups, will flock to chichen Itzi, Tikal, and a multitude of other celebrated sites of ancient America. There they will wait for a sign from the ancient Maya marking the end of the world as we know it. Wil it be a blow up or a black out? Doom or delight ? That depends on on which of the New Age prophets, an eclectic collection of self-appointed seers and mystics one chooses to believe. Many of the predictions begin in outer space. it's known that there is a black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and that in 2012 the sun will align with the plane of the galaxy for the first time in 26,000 years. Then according to the doomsayers, the black hole will throw our solar systemm out of kilter. But there's also good news coming from Y12 visionaries. Some say that rather than cataclysm, we're due for a sudden, cosmically timed awakening: we will all join an enlightened collective consciousness that will resolve the worlds problems. The winter solstice sun is "slowly moving toward the heart of the Galaxy," on December 21 (or 23, depending on how you align calendars), when the sun passes

"Great Rift" a dark streak in the Milky Way the Maya "Womb of Creation," the world will be transformed. Then we will reconnect with our cosmic heart.

A Roadside Bomb Has Killed Three South Of Bagdad

A police official says two policemen were among the dead in the morning blast in Mahmadyia, a town 2 miles south of Bagdad. he say's nine people were wounded in explosions.

The casualties were confirmed by a hospital official. Both officials spoke on conditions of anonymity because they were not athorized to speak to the media.

The bombs exploded one minute apart. Officials say the second bomb exploded as police rushed to the scene.

Violence has dropped dramatically across Iraq over the last three years but deadly attacks happen nearly every day.

Then I saw a great white throne and the one who sits on it. Earth and heaven fled from his presence and were seen no more. and I saw the dead, great and small alike, standing before the throne. Books were opened, and then another book was opened, the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the book. Then the sea gave up it's dead. Death and the world of the dead also gave up the dead they held. And all were Judged acording to what they had done. Then death and the world of the dead were thrown into the lake of fire. (This lake of fire is the second death.) Whoever didn't have their name written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

Qaddafi Forces Push Rebels Back To Key Oil Town

Lybian government forces unleashed withering bombardment of the rebels outside a key oil town., pushing them back despite NATO reports that nearly a third of Mummar Al- Quaddafi's heavy weapons have been destoyed. The rebels managed to take part of the oil town of Berga the day before, aided by a international air campaign, but the rocket and artillery slavos unleashed on the rebels indecate the governments offinses capibilities remain very much intact. Rebel attempts to fire rockets and mortars against the government forces were met with aggressive counter bombardments that sent many of the rebel forces scrambling back all the way to the town of Ajdabiya, dozens of miles away. Matthew 5-21:22 Ye have heard that it had been said by them of old time, Thou shall not kill and who so ever shall kill shall be in danger of the Judgment. And who so ever shall say to his brother Racca shall be in danger of the council: but who so ever shall say thou fool shall be in danger of hell fire.

Obama may back gas plan

President Barack Obama is going to effectively join Dallas investors in switching U.S. vehicles to natural gas and off oil. Now Obama will effectively endorse legislation that would provide new incentives for natural gas powered trucks and transit buses.

The president will highlight the proposal during a speech at Gorgetown University, where he will call for cutting oil imports by one-third in a decade.

DRILLING

GOP wants to put emphasis on expanding oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and other federal waters. House Republicans intruduced several bills that aim to expand drilling by accelerating the timeframe for approving drilling permits and selling more leases. Democrats have repeatedly argured that oil companies aren't maximizing the federal resourses that are currently availible to them.

The Interior Department reported the Gulf of Mexico and one-half of onshore leases are sitting idle. Oil industry groups quickly rebutted the report, saying the administration has delayed and blocked access to domestic oil since february 2009.

In the speech Obama will call for "new and better incentives" to accelerate production on existing leases. He'll call for new Refineries to produce advanced biofuels and improved vehicle fuel efficiency standards for the 2017-2025 model year.

BACKING

The plan had significant bipartisan support last year, but it did not advance in the senate because Democratic and Republican lawmakers couldn't agree on how to pay the incentives.

Someone said a new version of legislation would cost $5 billion. Past versions of the legislation have called for increased tax credits for buyers of natural gas-powered vehicles. Even with Republican support Obama embrace of natural gas isn't without risk. Liberal Democrats and many enviromental groups say drinking water supplies could be contaminated by gas drilling in states such as Pennsylvania and New York. The Environmental Protection Agency is studying the impact of drilling on water supplies.

And Republicans might not rush to work with Obama on his energy-security plan.
