The Timing of a Nova
#1
We've discussed here about the high likelihood of our sun going nova. On top of that, I believe we'll see a big CME (coronal mass ejection) before that. I wanted to bring up a point that our sun does other things to make life difficult. A CME is a burst of highly energized particles flying very fast through space. It takes a day or so to get from the surface of the sun to earth. We can see it on satellites before it gets here. Solar flares are a different thing. That's when the sun emits a flash of energy, a burst of extra light. That travels at the speed of light, so when you see it, it's already here. The part of a solar flare's spectrum that is easiest to measure with instruments is x-rays. It's also the part most likely to cause us problems. Solar flares are more rare than CMEs. When you see a rise in solar flares, it means the CMEs are going to be bigger.

And the rise in both signals that we are closer to a nova. The best we can tell, it will be a micro-nova. Not enough to extinguish human life, but it will be enough to destroy civilization. That's because what comes with it is all that other stuff like the magnetic poles shifting, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and general crustal upheaval. It's all orchestrated by the Creator as something that comes in cycles. The last major upheaval was during the time of Noah. Things had gotten so bad that the Lord decided it was time to start over. Near as we can tell, the conditions before the Flood no longer exist. We don't have vast stores of water under the ground, and we don't have a permanent cloud cover over the whole earth. So, whatever it is God is planning this time, it won't likely be the same, but it will be messy. And there's a very good reason for God needing to go to such extremes.

I won't blame you for not giving it much thought, but the single most dangerous threat to the human soul is the transhumanist movement. The research and concrete plans to merge man and machine (computers), along with wholesale genetic manipulation, is at least as bad as whatever mankind was doing before the Flood. In Noah's day it was messing around with demons in ways we cannot imagine. Today it's virtualizing the human soul.

God's habit is to give humans enough rope to hang themselves. The timing of a micro-nova was established long ago, and God can steer the precise moment any way He likes, but you can see it coming. The science published by folks like the Suspicious Observers community is pretty solid. Even without that, it's not hard to feel it in your heart. God's wrath isn't going to be sated by the destruction of a few national governments like the USA. It's going to be more like the Flood again, with just a tiny group of humans surviving, though I suppose the group will be larger this time around.

This is a very good time to die. It requires an otherworldly perspective to keep living. This is why I have visions of restoring the path back to Eden, of the ancient Hebrew mysticism and the Covenant heart-led way. It's not a guarantee that you'll survive the cataclysms, but it's a way of living that folks will need to get through all this. The message must be established and remembered when that awful day comes.

Now, I'm assuming this is not the Final End. I'm assuming that this is just another catastrophe before the Big One. But even if I'm wrong, the message we have is the right one for leading up to the Second Coming. So either way, it's worth every sacrifice I can make to proclaim this message. I'm trusting the Lord to be my publicist. It's His message; I'm just along for the ride. I'm trying to be faithful in my little part. That's the call I echo: Be faithful in your part to spread this word. If this thing calls our name, then be aware of the sacrifice demanded. Be aware of what comes in the package.

Yeah, that's what I gather, too. It will be a 5 out of 10 in terms of destruction. Noah was a much lesser event in comparison, looking at what we know of the 12k year major cycle and 6k year mini disasters that happened in the midpoints. Noah was a mini disaster, though it could have been one of the more severe ones, making it a larger, more worldwide flood. I've read varying interpretations of the extent of the Noahic flood: from a deluge local to Noah, to something regional to the Middle East (Gilgamesh), all the way up to a worldwide scope (Ed, maybe you can help out here). I'm of the mind that it was worldwide but worse in some places than others.

From what I know, the Toba event was the worst of the 12k year disasters. See the "genetic bottleneck" section on that page. Interesting, though we are only looking at it much later. There's no real way of knowing

The flood aspect of all the disaster events is probably the most common; fault lines and volcanoes are only in certain spots, but water is everywhere and very "movable," so that would always our major concern.

You outlined it nicely, Jay. It's hard to pin down the details for the biblical Flood because we can be quite sure that the earth's landmasses and oceans now bear little resemblance to what it was before. For the Flood to have any reality at all would require massive amounts of rainfall, but the Bible also mentions a tremendous amount of underground water coming to the surface. That kind of upheaval, paired with the mention of Peleg and the earth's surface dividing, would indicate changes too massive to estimate from where we are now.

Keep in mind that the Scripture focuses on the thread of redemptive history, not the wider human experience. We have no way of knowing when Adam and Eve could be dated. The genealogy list is telescoped in typical ANE style. On top of that, there's every reason to believe the Lord started things here on earth in a used condition, not pristine. It had to be workable. The appearance of a history that stretches back billions of years could be just that -- an appearance. God is not limited to doing things the way we would. At any rate, nothing in Scripture provides a reasonable frame of reference for setting dates, particularly when our frame of reference is only what humans have figured out in recent history. The honest truth is that the only sure date we have is for the beginning of King David's reign. Everything before that is based on reckoning from a house of cards that could collapse completely with just one new archaeological discovery. Honestly, the date of anything before David all stands on very shaky guesswork, and Scripture is frankly fuzzy in how it uses the numbers.

It is not a rejection of Scripture to reject a modern analysis of what it says. We struggle to grasp the Hebrew minds that wrote most of the Bible just on those things for which we have sufficient samples to work from to indicate how we should read the symbolism. When it comes to something like the Creation narrative, that's the only example we have on that subject. The similarities between the Bible and other Creation and Flood narratives are pretty weak.

I have a post in mind about the cyclical disaster idea and scripture. Who knows when I will get to it, but I will get to it.
