In what could be called inverted data the graph above shows the stress mankind is suffering. Quite clearly, the world population rose incredibly after WWII. However, the future for mankind looks bleak. The above is the 'medium' scenario from the UN. The actual future may quite easily be worse.
The 2014 Living Planet Index (Oxymoron)
Can you imagine the panic if mankind had declined by 73% in just 50 years?
Almost eight years ago I began reporting on global wildlife decline: Our planet had by then crossed the tipping point. Back in 2017, they said by 2020 two thirds of all wild animals who once lived in the world would be dead. However, last month a new appraisal was released by the WWF: They claimed that wildlife populations are plummeting. The new 2024 Living Planet Index revealed the scale of the nature crisis.
Between 1970 and 2020, the size of wildlife populations has actually plummeted by almost three quarters 73% on average and not 60% as forecasted in 2017. This is based on almost 35,000 population trends across 5,495 species of amphibians, birds, fish, mammals and reptiles. Regionally, the worst losses happened in Latin America (-95%). Freshwater species experienced the greatest decline—a shocking 85%. See the graph above. Nature is disappearing: The average size of wildlife populations has fallen by a staggering 73% The Living Planet Report 2024 highlights the average change in observed population sizes of 5,495 vertebrate species. It shows a decline of 73% between 1970 and 2020. Can you imagine the panic if mankind had declined by 73% in just 50 years?
Major Earthquakes (magnitude 6 or higher) Another cover-up?
Luke 21:—Jesus Foretells Wars and Persecution
10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great 'earthquakes,' and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and 'great signs from heaven.'"
I wanted a special sub-section on major quakes because although the data I have recovered from USGS over the years has been juggled around, (by them) the info still sends the correct result. However, a small controversy arose during my research, which I would like to bring to your attention. USGS alter their data frequently. (More on this later)
If 1957 delivered one of the great prophesies from Jesus Christ, 'Great Signs From Heaven.' Namely, the record-breaking burst of sunspot activity—Well, 1957, dropped another Jesus prophesy into our laps, here on Earth . . .
There will be GREAT EARTHQUAKES IN ONE PLACE AND ANOTHER!
The biggest number of major quakes, (mag 6 or higher) ever recorded in one year literally rocked our planet in the same year as the record-breaking sunspot explosion—1957. Yes, coincidence?
Or . . . is it?
I have been researching quakes at USGS since 2012—Incredibly, historical earthquake data on their website is constantly being altered, removed or even added, and that's official, they admit doing it—According to USGS, this is because they are continuously updating earthquake data and information to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-date. However, most of the data they are altering is from as far back as 1900 and as recent as the 1970s, how can they find accurate and up-to-date information from events which happened more than 100 years ago?
I did manage to contact them. They go on to say, that updates to earthquakes occur as more data become available for analysis and a more time-intensive analysis is performed. Additional updates are possible in the standard procedure of assembling a final earthquake catalogue. Well, I could understand this logic if they were receiving extra data from 'recent' seismic events but what kind of data are they receiving from quakes which happened more than a hundred years ago? And how on earth can they assemble a final earthquake catalogue if they keep on changing the data. If the catalogue of data is not complete after 100 years, well when will it be?
They also 'add' earthquakes, and sometimes 'remove' them from their files, they say these are false alarms that can occur when relying on an automated system that is trying to get the data out as quickly as possible—Can quakes which have been recently removed from 50 years ago have been a "false alarm?"
And what about the hundreds of quakes which have been added? Remember, we are talking about major, mag 6/+ quakes here, not tremours. (where did they come from?) Over the years I have been visiting their site hundreds of major quakes, mag 6 or higher have been added or removed.
USGS World Earthquakes Mag 6 Or Higher/2013 Three times since 2013, I have arduously downloaded every major quake (mag 6 or higher) from 1900 to the present and added the data to a graph to enable an easy and perspective viewing for the reader showing the increase in major quakes from the last 100+ years. Three times ladies and gentlemen. I have posted a completely different graph. The first time I did this was in 2013, see above. The above graph is in perfect sync with all the other disaster and temperature graphs above, however, and I didn't think anything wrong was afoot . . .
However, in 2019 I had a tip-off from Prophecy Watchers claiming USGS had been changing data from their Earthquake files. So, I had to go through the whole procedure once again and upload every major quake from 1900 to the present (2019) into my computer to update my graph. What I found was astonishing!
Major Quakes Since 1900/USGS Data in 2016 The following graph directly below, is the kicker, and is the one which got me so excited! As you can see the graph directly below is nothing like the first one I uploaded. Almost all the data has been systematically altered by USGS.
We can see, quite clearly, as WWI ended in 1918 our planet saw a steady rise in major quakes, (mag 6 or higher.) Indeed, there was. However, they began steadily decreasing as WWII approached. Why did the earth’s seismic activity decline so much during the terrible fighting of WWII? Maybe monitoring stopped in many places, I don't know.
According to USGS files in 2019, just after WWII had ended in 1947 just 29 major quakes, (mag 6 or higher) were recorded during the entire year which was by far the lowest yearly total since 27 were recorded way back in 1921. But something was about to change. . .
A complete reversal happened in 1950, however, and without any indication or warning. Major quakes (mag 6 or higher) suddenly and inexplicably, more than quadrupled from 29 in the year 1947 to an incredible 138—By 1957 that number had increased to 204, an unprecedented number which has only ever been beaten in 2011, the year of the Fukushima quake!
You can not believe my disappointment. When I checked back into USGS in 2022. Yes, data had indeed been tampered with yet again for the third time in 9 years. The graph above, showing the record number of major quakes in 1957 had been altered once again, see below. . .
Major Quakes Since 1900/USGS/ 2022. The new graph, Dec 28 2022, above shows more than 120 years of major quakes, however, look below and see the alterations in data (earthquake numbers, added or taken away) since the same graph I made in 2019. For instance, the year 1957 is now showing just 175 major quakes—29 have been deleted? 1905 is showing a massive total of 51 instead of 3! If my maths is correct, more than 1,000 major quakes, mag 6 or higher have been added which were not there when I uploaded my first graph in 2013!
So, once again I wrote to USGS this time I did receive a reply from . . . "Karen" Peterson:
Hello, The USGS is continuously updating earthquake data and information to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-date. Updates to earthquakes occur as more data become available for analysis and more time-intensive analysis is performed. Additional updates are possible as part of the standard procedure of assembling a final earthquake catalogue.
Earthquakes are also sometimes removed from the listing, but these are false alarms that can occur when relying on an automated system that is trying to get the data out as quickly as possible.
So, I guess we will never really know which is the true graph above . . . I have a sneaky feeling the record-breaking 1957 number is the true number, what do you think?
Conclusion
There will be 'great earthquakes,' in various places, and fearful events 'and great signs from heaven.'
On the 4th of October 1957, just a few weeks before our Star's sunspot explosion one of the truly great signs from heaven occurred, something never before seen in the history of mankind.
An artificial Earth satellite was launched into space by the Soviet Union. The launch was called 'one of the great scientific feats of the age and had caught the rest of the world very much off guard, especially the Americans.
The launch of Sputnik 1 surprised the American public and shattered their perception of their technological superpower, and their claims that the Soviet Union was a backward country and incapable of launching a satellite into space.
The Americans together with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and the Army Ballistic Missile Agency set about building Explorer 1, their own satellite and launched it 4 months later on 31 January 1958. However, the Soviet Union caught the Americans on the hop once more when they launched a second satellite, Sputnik 2, on 3 November 1957.
Lyndon B. Johnson's attitude began to show when in a speech he claimed:
“Control of space means control of the world,”
In 1957, Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) was the Senate Majority Leader and leader of the Democratic political opposition to Republican President, Dwight Eisenhower. LBJ had big space exploration ambitions from the get-go. In a speech to Southwest Texas State University, on May 27 (1962), he boldly claimed how he felt back in 1957 when the Soviets caught the Americans off guard:
"Our very future depended on being the ones who first seized ownership of space." “Control of space means control of the world,” Johnson declared. “From space, the masters of infinity would have the power to control the earth’s weather, to cause drought and flood, to change the tides and raise the levels of the sea, to divert the gulf stream and change temperate climates to frigid.”
This was never about space exploration, it was about power!
Little did Johnson realise then but—God had His own plan for the world. Much of his plan is documented, not only in Bible prophecy but also in documents, graphs, books, and science journals. 1957, produced more 'Great Signs From Heaven.'—On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, 1957 just weeks after the Soviet Sputnik 1 launch another truly great sign from heaven occurred. It was also unprecedented never before seen in the history of mankind.
According to the Royal Observatory of Belgium, along with other scientific observers, during 48 hours, on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, 1957, our star suddenly exploded with a record-busting, 503 sunspots, our sun was suddenly going ballistic . . .
See the chart section below.
Royal Observatory BelgiumOur Sun was acting wild, which scared the science community at the time resulting in President Eisenhower authorising the opening of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in July 1958. There is not much in the way of information to be found about the unprecedented, spectacular 48-hour Christmas period of 1957. However, clues are to be found on various scientific websites as the graphs and links above show.
According to all scientific sites, global temperatures are still rising and accelerating—Solar Cycle 24, however, the last completed cycle which ended in 2000, was officially the 4th-lowest solar irradiance intensity since regular record-keeping began with Solar Cycle 1 way back in 1755. It was also the weakest cycle in 100 years.
Was Solar Cycle 19 the one which exploded in 1957 the one which sealed the fate of this planet?
Man's arrogance
1957 recorded the record number of major quakes but also the record number of confirmed volcanic eruptions and probably major quakes. What was happening? How could this happen? Was this increase in major seismic and volcanic activity contributed to nuclear testing or was it something else—Was it really a sign from heaven, our sun and another prophecy being fulfilled?
“There will be great earthquakes in one place and another.”And of course, “great signs and fearful sights from heaven.” And both in the same year, 1957 and prophesied in the Bible, some 2,000 years ago?
God is not for turning—Or for changing His mind!
Before I finish up with this long post, I want to remind you of another Bible story, something that happened 4,300 years ago.
God never wanted people in space—Never!
During the time of the Tower of Babel construction, a great warrior called Nimrod decided he was going to build a tower to reach space. (heaven back then).
Genesis:
11 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
2 As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building.
6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
Something very similar to Nimrod and his tower happened in 1957. But this time we actually did reach the Heavens . . .
What NASA learned from 1957 . . .
The 1957 Christmas Sunspot Explosion refers to a major solar event during the peak of Solar Cycle 19, one of the most intense solar cycles in recorded history. Here’s what we know about it:
Key Details of the Event
- Date: December 24–25, 1957.
- Solar Cycle 19: This solar cycle (1954–1964) was marked by extremely high sunspot activity, peaking in 1957-58. The Christmas event occurred during this period of heightened solar activity.
- Significance:
- A massive sunspot group on the Sun’s surface produced intense solar flares and radiation storms.
- The event generated heightened geomagnetic activity on Earth.
Impacts on Earth
Auroras:
- Spectacular auroras (northern and southern lights) were reported far from the poles, including over mid-latitude regions.
- These auroras were visible in Europe and North America, creating a unique "Christmas light" phenomenon.
Radio Blackouts:
- High-frequency radio communications were disrupted globally due to the intense solar flares.
- This had significant effects on military, aviation, and maritime operations, which heavily relied on radio at the time.
Magnetic Storms:
- Earth's magnetic field experienced a strong geomagnetic storm, impacting navigation systems like compasses and early forms of radar.
Scientific Observations:
- The event provided valuable data for studying solar activity and its impacts on Earth's magnetosphere.
- It highlighted the relationship between sunspot activity, solar flares, and geomagnetic disturbances.
Context: Solar Cycle 19
- Sunspot Numbers: Solar Cycle 19 saw the highest recorded sunspot numbers since systematic observations began, with the peak smoothed sunspot number reaching 285.
- Technological Vulnerability: This was one of the first solar cycles to affect emerging technologies like satellite communications and long-distance radio, showcasing the potential hazards of space weather.
Broader Implications
Space Weather Awareness:
- Events like the 1957 Christmas Sunspot Explosion emphasized the need for monitoring the Sun to predict and mitigate space weather impacts.
- It laid the groundwork for developing modern solar observation systems.
Connection to Modern Threats:
- Similar solar events today could disrupt satellites, GPS systems, and power grids, making them a focus for current space weather research.
Studying Solar Events Like the 1957 Christmas Sunspot Explosion
Understanding and predicting solar events has become crucial due to the potential impacts on modern technology. Here's a breakdown of the scientific tools and techniques used to study such events and their implications:
1. Tools and Techniques for Solar Observation
a. Ground-Based Observatories
- Solar Telescopes: Instruments like the Big Bear Solar Observatory and the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory monitor sunspots, solar flares, and prominences in high detail.
- Solar Spectroscopy: Analyzes light emitted by the Sun to study its composition and activity in different layers (photosphere, chromosphere, corona).
- Radio Telescopes: Detect solar radio emissions, particularly from flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
b. Space-Based Observatories
- SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory): Continuously monitors the Sun's activity, including CMEs and solar wind.
- SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory): Provides high-resolution images of the Sun in multiple wavelengths.
- Parker Solar Probe: Launched in 2018, it is the closest-ever mission to the Sun, studying the solar corona and solar wind.
- GOES Satellites (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites): Measure X-ray flux from solar flares and monitor space weather.
c. Magnetometers
- Used both on Earth and in space to measure changes in magnetic fields caused by solar activity. This helps scientists predict geomagnetic storms.
2. Key Solar Phenomena Studied
a. Sunspots
- Dark areas on the Sun's surface are caused by intense magnetic activity.
- Larger and more numerous during solar maximum, as seen in Solar Cycle 19.
b. Solar Flares
- Sudden energy releases are caused by magnetic reconnection in the Sun's atmosphere.
- Emit radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum, disrupting communications on Earth.
c. Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs)
- Massive bursts of solar wind and magnetic fields ejected into space.
- When directed at Earth, CMEs can cause geomagnetic storms that affect power grids and satellites.
d. Solar Wind
- A continuous flow of charged particles from the Sun. Enhanced during solar storms, it interacts with Earth's magnetic field, creating auroras and sometimes damaging infrastructure.
3. Modern Implications of Solar Activity
a. Disruptions to Technology
- Power Grids: Geomagnetic storms can induce currents in power lines, causing transformers to overheat or fail.
- Example: The 1989 Quebec Blackout was caused by a geomagnetic storm.
- Satellites: Solar radiation can damage electronic components and disrupt GPS and communication signals.
- Aviation: High-altitude flights near the poles are vulnerable to increased radiation during solar storms.
b. Communication and Navigation
- Radio Blackouts: Solar flares disrupt high-frequency (HF) radio waves, critical for aviation and maritime operations.
- GPS Degradation: Solar storms interfere with satellite signals, reducing accuracy.
c. Space Exploration
- Astronauts and spacecraft are at higher risk from solar radiation, necessitating monitoring and shielding.
4. Mitigation Strategies
a. Improved Forecasting
- NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC): Issues alerts and forecasts for solar activity.
- Data Sharing: Global collaborations between observatories and space agencies enhance predictive models.
b. Infrastructure Protection
- Power companies use surge protectors and other technology to safeguard grids from geomagnetically induced currents (GICs).
- Satellites are designed with radiation-hardened electronics.
c. Policy and Planning
- Governments and organizations have established protocols to respond to severe space weather events (e.g., the National Space Weather Strategy in the U.S.).
5. Broader Implications
- Space Weather Research: Events like the 1957 sunspot explosion are reminders of the interconnectedness of solar activity and modern life.
- Preparedness: The increasing reliance on technology makes understanding and mitigating space weather effects essential.
- Awareness Campaigns: Educating industries and the public about space weather risks can help minimize potential disruptions.
