The risks of power outages caused by solar flares or emp type bombs has been in the news this month. Here is an item related to solar flares today:<\/p>\n

Forbes –<\/strong> Dec 19, 2012<\/div>\n
\n

Earlier this month, the Director of National Intelligence released the fifth installment in a multi-decade forecasting project aimed at preparing the government for future challenges…<\/p>\n

nestled amidst all the usual dangers is the mention of something unexpected \u2014 solar geomagnetic storms.<\/p>\n

The storms are bursts of energy produced by the Sun that disrupt the Earth\u2019s magnetic field. They happen fairly frequently, and if they are intense enough they can damage satellites, blackout radio signals, and damage electrical equipment. Now there is growing concern that a really big storm might collapse much of the global electric grid, particularly in places with long high-voltage transmission lines such as Australia<\/a>, Canada<\/a>, China<\/a> and the United States<\/a>. The intelligence assessment warns that, \u201cuntil \u2018cures\u2019 are implemented, solar super-storms will pose a large-scale threat to the world\u2019s social and economic fabric.\u201d…<\/p>\n

Studies funded by national laboratories have estimated that a powerful solar disturbance could knock out electrical service to over a hundred million people, causing trillions of dollars in damage. And because the industrial base for manufacturing the transformers and capacitors used in delivering electricity is relatively small, it could take months, maybe years, to fully restore service…<\/p>\n

This is not just a theoretical concept. In 1989, a relatively modest geomagnetic disturbance collapsed the electric grid in Quebec, depriving millions of users of electricity for several hours.\u00a0http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/lorenthompson\/2012\/12\/19\/intelligence-community-warns-solar-storms-could-collapse-electric-grid\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The USA and much of the world could be affected by solar flares or emp type bombs (though the reach of bombs is generally less than something that the sun could put forth).<\/p>\n

Solar flares can cause problems similar to an emp weapon. Solar flares were discussed in my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect<\/a>. Here are several passages related to them:<\/p>\n

However, a flooding of islands and apparently rising sea levels are shown in the Bible (and are expected by many scientists).\u00a0 Yet, contrary to certain interpretations of the Mayan Dresden\u00a0picture and the Chilam Balam<\/em>, this appears to be predicted to occur after 2012 according to biblical prophecies<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

Some scientists believe that there will be an increase in sunspot activity that will affect the earth in 2012. Notice the following from N.A.S.A.:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Solar Storm Warning<\/strong>: Researchers announced that a storm is coming\u2014the most intense solar maximum in fifty years. The prediction comes from a team led by Mausumi Dikpati of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Solar physicist David Hathaway of the National Space Science & Technology Center (NSSTC)\u2026has confidence in the conveyor belt model and agrees with Dikpati that the next solar maximum should be a doozy. But he disagrees with one point\u2026a storm is coming.<\/p>\n

Solar outbursts have been proposed that could essentially wipe out modern civilization.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Notice a scenario that is based on a report from the U.S. National Academy of Scientists (although the precise date seems to be speculative):<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

IT IS midnight on 22 September 2012 and the skies above Manhattan are filled with a flickering curtain of colourful light\u2026Within 90 seconds, the entire eastern half of the US is without power.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

A year later and millions of Americans are dead and the nation\u2019s infrastructure lies in tatters. The World Bank declares America a developing nation. Europe, Scandinavia, China and Japan are also struggling to recover from the same fateful event \u2013 a violent storm, 150 million kilometres away on the surface of the sun\u2026<\/p>\n

According to the NAS report, a severe space weather event in the US could induce ground currents that would knock out 300 key transformers within about 90 seconds, cutting off the power for more than 130 million people\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

First to go \u2013 immediately for some people \u2013 is drinkable water\u2026With no electricity to pump water from reservoirs, there is no more\u2026There is simply no electrically powered transport: no trains, underground or overground\u2026For hospitals, that would mean about 72 hours of running a bare-bones, essential care only, service. After that, no more modern healthcare.<\/p>\n

The truly shocking finding is that this whole situation would not improve for months, maybe years\u2026<\/p>\n

There also seems to be a couple of Mayan predictions recorded in the 16th<\/sup> century that suggest some type of solar flare-up will affect the earth:<\/p>\n

Chilam Balam<\/em>\u00a0(Mayan priest): Heaven and earth shall burn…It is the holy judgment, the holy judgment.<\/p>\n

Napuctun<\/em>\u00a0(Mayan priest): It shall burn on earth; there shall be a circle in the sky.<\/p>\n

Another N.A.S.A.\/N.O.A.A. report has indicated that the next solar cycle peak may be later, like May 2013… The Bible itself warns of a time of scorching solar heat (Revelation 16:8-9…)…<\/p>\n

that flood\u00a0and other prophecies are expected before 2030 (but after 2012)<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

Whether or not one believes secular scientists who assert that humans are causing \u201cglobal warming,\u201d and islands will be submerged, the Bible is clear that a time of high heat will happen, probably worsened by a solar flare-up of some type.\u00a0 It also mentions the islands being gone:<\/p>\n

8 <\/sup>Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. 9<\/sup> And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent\u00a0and give Him glory\u2026every island fled away (Revelation 16:8-9, 20).<\/p>\n

The signs will be powerful.\u00a0 And the Babylonian power will fall during the Day of the Lord\u00a0(Revelation 18:2).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although at least one “2012” book has tried somewhat to tie the “solar flare” disaster into the Mayan date (Joseph LE. Apocalypse 2012: An Investigation into Civilization’s End. Broadway, 2008; and that author has since distanced himself from aspects of his book), the prophesied real time of scorching solar heat cannot come for several years.\u00a0 Though electrical problems with solar flares have happened in the past, and those can occur almost any time.<\/p>\n

Even though there could be some solar flare damage on 12\/21\/12, the “big one” that many scientists are concerned about will not happen this week.<\/p>\n

Yet, in the future, there are real risks for the USA, Canada, UK, and other nations. But most ignore warning signs. Will you?<\/p>\n

Some articles that might be of assistance in understanding end-time events may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

Can the Great Tribulation Begin in 2012 or 2013?<\/a> Can the Great Tribulation begin today? What is the \u201cbeginning of sorrows\u201d? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord?
\n<\/a>Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel<\/a> Are the Americans, Canadians, British, Scottish, Welsh, Australians, Anglo-Southern Africans, and New Zealanders descendants of Joseph? Where are the lost ten-tribes of Israel? Who are the lost tribes of Israel? What will happen to the Jews in Israel? Will God punish the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, and other Anglo nations? Why might God allow them to be punished first?
\nWill the Anglo-Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves?<\/a> Will the lands of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand be divided? What does Bible prophecy teach? Are there non-biblical prophecies that support this idea? Who will divide those lands? Who will end up with the lands and the people?
\nProphecies of Barack Obama?<\/a> Eight reasons why Barack Obama is apocalyptic and eight reasons why Barack Obama is not the Antichrist. This article includes many biblical and non-biblical prophecies, from around the world, that seem to discuss Barack Obama. Did Nostradamus predict Barack Obama dealing with the Antichrist? Might Barack Obama set the stage for the kings of the North and South as at least one Shiite prophecy suggests? This is the longest and most complete article on this page on Barack Obama prophecies. Read it and decide for yourself if President Obama seems to be fulfilling various prophecies.
\nBarack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States<\/a> Some claim that Barack Obama is the prophesied “son of Kenya”, based up an early 20th century writing.
\nCanada in Prophecy: <\/a>What Does Bible Prophecy, Catholic Prophecy, and other Predictions Suggest About the Future of Canada? There are prophecies that suggest involvement with Canada. And many are not positive about its future.
\nWho is the King of the West? <\/a>Why is there no End-Time King of the West in Bible Prophecy? Is the United States the King of the West? If so, what does that really mean for the USA and its Anglo allies.
\nIs Tony Blair Apocalyptic?<\/a> The former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom converted to Catholicism shortly after leaving his office and has been active in European affairs. What role might he play?
\nEarthquakes Today and Bible Prophecy<\/a> Contains a cool up-to-the-hour update of earthquakes around the world from USGS. It also explains what did Jesus teach about earthquakes and how the Bible describes “the big one” (as well as when it is expected).
\n2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect<\/a> This is a link related to a book by Bob Thiel (COGwriter). This link also has YouTube videos. This book documents and explains hundreds of prophecies. And since it was published, world events have aligned with at least 23 predictions in the book and many more will to come to pass. Those who purchase the book at the www.thesecretsect.com<\/a> website receive a lengthy bonus report documenting world events that aligned with the book.
\n2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect (English Kindle edition).<\/a> This is the 2nd edition of the book, released in January 2012, and includes a summary of the 20 predictions that world events have aligned with since the book originally came out in September 2009.
