What I heard referring to "a thousand years" was the NOAA predictions describing a "once in a thousand year event" as far as a continuous perfect storm of rain.
We've been getting it here in WNC, as has northeast Georgia. It started Thursday night September 24 and except for half a day on Tuesday 9/29 hasn't stopped. We've got I'd guess at least 15 inches here in that time, probably more.
SC is (generally) lower and flatter land than here so it's going to pile up more there than here. Around here with high elevations and lots of drainage the main concern is landslides. That, and finding oneself on a little mountain-pass road that's suddenly unusable because a tree fell across it, which is why I haven't been out hardly at all.
Never seen this much rain, ever.
Me neither. God really answered my prayers beyond what I could ever have hoped or imagined, Pogo. I started asking the LORD for this rain some months ago as there was a Satanic rave in Georgia called Tomorrowland which would have (if it had not been for the rain destroying their plans and getting canceled early) very dangerous for the over 150,000 young people who had bought tickets to attend it - it was to go on until September 28th - I was also praying for rain during the anti-Christ Popes visit which fell on the same days (approximately) and so after the rave there was another event which a man at my church told me today that my prayer for rain was certainly answered by God and that God had used the rain to rain out another ungodly event (which I had no idea of!) and he and his wife surely seemed very happy about it. I had asked my church to join me in asking for the rain to start pouring on the 24th at church - I asked them to join me in agreeing for the rain the week before (if I recall the timing correctly) and everyone present did. There is tremendous power in agreement - especially in a very large group of prayer warriors. As I said before, it is the greatest answer to prayer I've received from God concerning rain that I can recall. I'm overwhelmed at His Goodness towards me! He is so wonderful! I'm praising Jesus for it!
You're a loony.
God is punishing South Carolina for flying the Confederate Flag
Uuuuh .....I just said I live on the Texas Gulf coast.
For the last 45 years actually,and that aint shit for bad rain.
Talk to me when they see 43 inch's in 24 hours.
Did that ever happen? I heard on the radio that SC got 16 inches in 24 hours and that was the second highest 24 hour total recorded. They didn't say who beat them.
Doesn't matter, it's terrible. And what is terrible is a person claiming she prayed for it to happen because she disagreed with other peoples' decisions. It is not just that such a person is loony, it is a major concern if that person has responsibility or control of others.
And claiming she is a christian.
When the bomb at Hiroshima fell? There was a home that was owned by Christians - surrounded by unbelievers - the only home in the entire area and there were Christians inside it when the bomb fell. Guess which house was untouched? The house that belonged to the Christian. They survived.
It's your decision to rebel against God and when you rebel against Him? You should not expect to be spared when these things happen. Maybe you should realize that you are as self sufficient as you think you are.
You mean the Jesuits?
I believe the report about the Jesuits was either satire or a bad joke.
Getting back to the story about the Christians who were saved from destruction:
This story has been changed - the woman who heard about the story later joined a Seventh Day Adventist church and some one took liberty with some of the facts, I believe.......the real story is they were Christians and the LORD protected them.
Adventists Unharmed in Hiroshima 1945
Ryoko Suzuki reports the account in the August 2011 edition of
Adventist World, “
The Hiroshima Miracle.” This is the first time the story has been told in Adventist journals written in English, and it is in connection with
the sixty-sixth anniversary of the bomb, August 6, 2011.
The world’s first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945. In the bomb’s aftermath Dr. Tomiko Kihara worked tirelessly to save many lives. She lived .62 miles from the central impact of the explosion. She was one of twenty Seventh-day Adventists miraculously spared from any injury or radiation effects.
I do not know why this story has never been told to the world before, even in Adventist journals. Mrs. Suzuki is the librarian at the Adventist Northern Asia-Pacific Division in the Republic of Korea (
i.e., South Korea). Perhaps she discovered the records there. Adventists have been in Japan (in Hiroshima proper) since 1917. A fully organized church in Hiroshima was recognized in 1951. And there were
articles on Advenists in Japan published in the
Review & Herald (the main SDA news journal) in 1940, 1945, 1948, 1949, but none are apparently addressing this survival miracle. I do not have access to these articles presently, so I cannot affirm the accuracy of this observation. Today, certainly, there is
a thriving Adventist presence in Hiroshima, and
in Japan at large.
Nothing lived, or stood, animate or inanimate, within a two kilometer (1.2 mile) radius of the central impact of the bomb. All the twenty Adventist church members apparently lived less than a mile away. Iwa Kuwamoto lived .62 miles away. She is 83 years old today, still sharing her faith with whomever she can. Tomiko Kihara, a physician, also lived .62 miles away from the central impact. She arose from the rubble and spent all her time at the hospital on the edge of town, trying to help those who were so horribly burned.
Iwa Kuwamoto was .62 miles from the central impact of the atomic bomb exploded on Hiroshima, and yet she was miraculously spared.
This is a truly remarkable story, and I cannot fathom why it would not be the headline, the permanent headline, in all media of the world. Why am I just now hearing it? Why is the church just now printing it?
Asako Furunako, who interviewed the Adventist survivors of Hiroshimo, did not believe that any such stories could be true. A little Adventist girl told Ms. Furunako that her grandmother had always told her about the survivor miracle. That was in the 1970′s. After interviewing survivors, Ms. Furunako, in her 50′s, became a believer, indeed, as would we all. At the age of 58, Ms. Furunako entered the theological program at Saniku Gakuin College, graduated, and became a pastor at the Kashiwa Adventist church. She is 88 now, and continues to share her faith. Though without any earthly family, she relies entirely on her Father in Heaven.
Asako Furunako, as a young woman. She interviewed the Adventists who miraculously survived the Hiroshima bomb of August 6, 1945. In the 1970′s, most of the twenty were still living
