Mass Extinction Event
A recent new article used this term, or a close approximation of it, in speaking of the tragic events that have been ongoing at Fukushima Japan. Here is a brief synopsis of my yearlong research and thoughts on this:
Japanese culture is long noted for its loyalty to company and country. Thus the recent warnings by Japans former ambassador to Switzerland Mitsuhei Murata are even more alarmimg as truth is often covered up to protect money and honor. He has stated that the Fukushima reactor unit #4, barely standing after the explosions which followed the tsunami of 2011, if it collapses will "...certainly cause a global catastrophe like we have never before experienced."
On just this one TEPCO sight there is enough Cesium-137 to destroy the world enviroment and our civilization. Japan would be uninhabitable, many islands of the Pacific would be unihabitable, and the west coast of the North American continent would be uninhabitable. It would destroy the entire northern hemisphere of the planet. Experts are saying that Unit 4 "...may not be able to withstand a 7.0 earthquake and Japan is the land of earthquakes having a prime location on the ring of fire."
If this unit collapses there are nuclear physicists, you can't fool them with government lies, who are prepared to move their families to the southern hemisphere as prevailing winds would eventually carry the contamination everywhere north of the equator. Arnie Gunderson, a man who built these things and is a true expert on the matter, just returned from Japan. While in Tokyo he took several random soil samples. Upon testing all were deemed so radioactive that special disposal was required under US guidelines.
The Tokyo Electric Power Company, TEPCO, has been covering up the severity of this with I believe the assistance of their government, the US government, and who knows what others.
This event dwarfs Chernobyl, which has been attributed with over a million deaths, and still counting, since its fire. If the 1535 fuel rods end up on the ground at Fukushima the level of radiation would be so high a human could not survive near it long enough to do any work that might remove these tons and tons of radiaoactive fuel rods. Stored in close proximity to the building are another 6375 rods in the common spent fuel pool. These are less then 200 feet away. It would be impossible to do anything with them and that they would soon be exposed to air and burn also is a distinct possibility! We are not even mentioning the other reactors which would be inaccessible by humans in this scenario. Radiation levels would be so intense that electronics are destroyed by it thus making even robotics unusable. The rods are so volatile that exposure to air causes them to erupt into flames and release their deadly plutonium and other elements into the atmosphere. They have to be kept under water and that is the real danger if the unit falls to the ground.
We are in trouble and few are sounding the alarm!
For one I am thinking that the Lord cleansing the earth with fire may have a direct relationship to severe nuclear contamination. Then there is the matter of the new earth having no oceans and the possibility that unit 4 will destroy the Pacific and eventually the other oceans if the worst case scenario occurs is another thought.
“therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, “behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.” (Jeremiah 9:15, NASB95)
“The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters.” (Revelation 8:10, NASB95)
As you know 'star' is a metaphor having as one meaning angel or messenger. Perhaps it isn't taking the metaphor to far outside of context to think we have a subtle message from the Lord here using Russia's tragedy/judgment of Chernobyl as a type of forerunner to this far greater Japanese event and its ramifications for all of us.
On the other hand....
We do see that the earth is burned up the earth and the Lord totally recreates it. That would be necessary if the whole northern hemisphere was soaked in over a thousand radioactive isotopes and elements including plutonium, which Fukushima has the potential to do. How would one cleanse a radiated and destroyed planet? By burning up the elements and starting over!!!
“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.” (2 Peter 3:10, NASB95)
Then knowing that the Lord often prophesied with a near and a far application being integral to the prophetic word I bring to mind this.
Chernobyl has as its translated meaning wormwood. Wormwood is found mentioned in one place in the Bible.
“The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.” (Revelation 8:11, NASB95)
Notice the effect of the drinking the water infected with bitterness was death and that one third of all the water on the earth is so infected! This is in agreement with the Pacific ocean being lost due to radioactive, especially plutonium, contamination and many of our fresh water supplies would also be undrinkable for the same reason. (I have also heard prophetic words over the years bringing forth the idea that water will be very expensive and in short supply in the future.)
The words of the Prophet Jeremiah come to mind also
“therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, “behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.” (Jeremiah 9:15, NASB95)
The Japanese are indeed drinking a bitter cup, a cup that may overflow its sorrow unto all the nations of the earth. Some Japanese are noted for their love of drinking alcohol in excess and the national honor given to the blossoms of the cherry tree and its brief moment of loveliness, an event that oft inspired Samurai poets before they went off to war is well known. In light of this I find these words of the Prophet Isaiah both haunting and grim...
“Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, And to the fading flower of its glorious beauty, Which is at the head of the fertile valley Of those who are overcome with wine! Behold, the Lord has a strong and mighty agent; As a storm of hail, a tempest of destruction, Like a storm of mighty overflowing waters, He has cast it down to the earth with His hand.” (Isaiah 28:1–2, NASB95)
