The Pale Horse Cometh
Prepare With the Blood of the Lamb
"When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" And I saw, and behold, a pale horse, and its rider's name was Death, and Hades followed him; and they were given power over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth. When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne; they cried out with a loud voice, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before thou wilt judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?" Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been. When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale; the sky vanished like a scroll that is rolled up (1), and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the generals and the rich and the strong, and every one, slave and free, hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand before it?" (Cf. Rev. 6:7-17)
Some time ago, Our Lord provided the writing entitled: "Tribulation Protectionn: The Blood of the Lord". It is vitally important, and should be read in conjunction with this writing.
www.call2holiness.org/TribulationProtection/TribulationProtection.htm
Therein, we wrote of how Our Heavenly Father chastised the Eqyptians (Exodus 12) with the plague that killed the first-born in the land of Egypt. However prior to doing so, He warned His Faithful to place the blood of the lambs upon their doors and lintels (2) . Those who obeyed the directive of Our Lord were spared the tragedy of the plague. It is worthy of emphasis that not only were they spared from the plague, but they had nothing to worry about --- they were protected by Almighty God.
Once again, Our Heavenly Father is warning us to prepare in a similar manner. Please read and heed the directives of Our Lord provided in the above mentioned writing, and in the recent message to Louise Tomkiel which follows.
Also, please read the information provided in the LINKS section of the Yahoo Era of Peace site under the directory entitled: Home Protection - Food & Water Purification. We can expect all water, crops and livestock to become contaminated with disease, and biological and nuclear fallout. Therein, you will find directives from Our Lord as to how to prepare for and address such contamination.
May God bless and protect you and your family.

L. began to receive a message from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with your Most Precious Blood."
Then your God spoke, "Listen to Me when I call!!! When I speak to you, telling you to leave your home, or when My Angels alert you, GO! This is very urgent. There will be NO TIME TO WASTE!
Your very lives are at stake! Souls possessed by the devil will break into your houses and drag you away to detention camps.
Today, bless every window and door of your houses with Holy Water or Holy Oil and plaace a Blessed Medal in every window and a Crucifix on every door.
As a Christian or a Catholic you are on evils most wanted list. Obey Me!
Also wear a Sacramental on your person. Put one on your children AND animals.
DO NOT TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST ---THE CHIP!!! Do not have your children marked and have NO animal marked! AMEN -- come to Me and obey --NOW!"

"Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the wrath is past. For behold, the LORD is coming forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity, and the earth will disclose the blood shed upon her, and will no more cover her slain." (Cf. Isa 26:20-21)

Carry a Tool in Your Auto to Break the Windows in an Emergency
Message via Louise (1)
September 18, 2007
L. began to receive a message from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood."
Then your God spoke, "A soon to be, likely target for terrorists is tunnels and bridges. Not only will this be a complete-cut-off for all people but very many lives will be taken.
Carry in your vehicle a tool that will break your windows and therefore allow the escape of all passengers. Purchase this necessary tool today. Be prepared!
Amen I tell you, this hour is very near."

Some would scoff at the message above, but such a tool would have helped some of those involved in the recent collapse of the bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA. May they forever rest in peace.

Driver makes dramatic underwater escape after bridge collapses
MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (CNN) -- Alicia Babatz was on her way to pick up her 2-year-old daughter Wednesday when she felt the bridge give way beneath her.
She said she thought she was going to die as her car crashed into the concrete and plunged into the water. Buckled in behind the wheel, she watched the water rise above her.
"I thought that for sure I was going to drown. I thought I was going to sink with my car," she said from her hospital bed Friday, her left shoulder bearing the bruised imprint of a seatbelt.
Fighting what she called "excruciating pain," Babatz, 22, escaped through a window and swam to the rubble of the collapsed bridge.
"I was crying for help, but there were cries for help all around me," she said.
It took Babatz about 30 minutes to get out of the water. She said she looked back, and her car was gone. ---"

As Polar Ice Melts, Diseases Are Being Released; Seas Rise
"All the leading priests and the people likewise were exceedingly unfaithful, following all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent persistently to them by his messengers, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place; but they kept mocking the messengers of God, despising his words, and scoffing at his prophets, till the wrath of the LORD rose against his people, till there was no remedy." (Cf. 2Ch 36-14-16)
In Genesis 9 after the deluge, God made the following promise: "never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth." However, such promise speaks to a perishing of all flesh by way of a complete flooding of the earth. Indeed, we have continued to see great loss of life due to floods during the centuries since such time.
God is as merciful and loving as He is omni-potent. He is slow to chastise (2Pe 3:9). Sin is disgusting in His sight, and after a period of repeated warnings, He will act.
What follows are messages from Our Lord via Louise Tomkiel and John Leary warning that due to our sins, chastisements of disease, famine and flooding will be allowed to occur as a result of the melting of polar and glacial ice around the world. Following that, are a number of articles which indicate that (1) ancient bacteria are alive in the glacial ice, and thriving, (2) the melting of glacial ice and sea ice is increasing at an increasing rate, (3) scientists are unable accurately to estimate the effects of global warming and the rates of such melting, as they do not understand the multivariate causes, and (4) that ice is melting everywhere.
We wrote a piece some time back which addressed this phenomenon, entitled: North & South Pole Ice Caps Are Melting
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/era-of-peace/message/295
It appears as though the melting has progressed significantly since such time.
Once again, we hasten to remind that our purpose is not to unduly alarm, but to warn. God has warned mankind that this was coming. He has told us how to prepare, also. God always takes care of His people --- ALWAYS.
Just as Noah had to build the ark to survive the deluge, we must respond to the instructions of Our Lord, and prepare accordingly.
Your attention is directed to the following writings, which discuss Our Lord's plans for His Faithful (URL provided below):
-- Prayers of Consecration and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
-- To the Refuges on Wings of Eagles
-- Tribulation Protection: The Blood of the Lamb
If we remain faithful to Our Lord, we have nothing to fear. Fear comes from Satan.
May God bless you and your families,

Louise began to receive words from God and said, " Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood."
Then our God of Justice spoke, " There will never be another 'Ice Age' for man has dissolved My ozone layer -- a protection from the powerful rays of the sun. Now, because of man's pride and foolishness all oceans, seas, rivers, waterways will swell beyond their boundaries. The mighty waters will change the boundaries of nearly all countries, provinces, states and eliminate many islands.
Man has played God and now the earth and all that is on it will suffer greatly. Gas, oil and lava will flow quickly hastening the lasting destruction. Temperatures will continue to rise. Many of My creatures -- human and animal and plant life will die, never to return.
Lightening, droughts and fires will be everywhere. The flood waters will carry plagues and other diseases, germs, insects and debris far and wide. Deadly results will be your daily, your hourly norm.
The air will carry the stench of death and decay. There will be NO food, NO water, NO rest until the tribulation is over.
Not all comes from your God. Man planned his actions for centuries. The ultimate is about to happen. Some things I allow while many others I send. All is to bring you to your senses, to wake you up, to convert you. Watch and see for all is apparent. Your God's Justice is quickly falling.
Repent, forgive, convert and pray, pray, PRAY while there is yet time."
July 26, 2006
Louise began to receive a message from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood."
Then your Just God spoke, "My daughter, warn My people that flooding from the melting glaciers IS inevitable. You will begin to see and here of rising waters around the globe.
Because of excessive high temperatures in all mountain areas, many floods and avalanches will very soon occur.
Cascading ice at both poles is an around the clock occurrence. As the melting glaciers move closer to civilization and warmer climates, water will move rapidly until it meets at the Equator. Each earthquake you hear of in far north or far south area is loosening more glaciers daily.
The results will be deadly for ALL water, food, fish will carry unimaginable diseases, germs and insects.
The temperatures in mountain areas is already dangerously high and will become even hotter.
Sea life will die due to hot waters. Arctic and Antarctic animals will find no place to live and no food.
Man is self-destructing! In his pride with hideous desires to take control, he is now on the fast lane to annihilation.
All the earth will feel and see the effects of the global warming. Mountains WILL fall and hills turn to dust. Mud and debris will daily be your companion. The beauty of earth will pass away.
Those not of Me will have no place to turn! Follow Me for in My Heart IS your safe refuge. If you are not prepared you will have no help.
Oh, My people, how you have destroyed your God's perfect creation. Therefore, again, I must, I will destroy all and rebuild -- a New Heavens and a New Earth. Mine will live on! Those not of Me will die an eternal death! Take care of ALL life that is entrusted to you. Being prepared in body, mind and spirit is of utmost importance. Live My Will for you daily and obey. Your strength will come from God alone.
Picture the enormity of this catastrophe! Pray, for nothing can stop My Hand falling! Justice must fall! Purging must be realized! All MUST be! Not only has all begun but all is moving along quickly. Amen!, My word will be! Amen!, My word is!"
October 20, 2006
L. began to receive a message from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood."
Then our One Triune God spoke, "Snowcapped mountains are now receiving much more snow followed by heavy rains. Now you will witness avalanches followed by powerful rivers of snow and water that will destroy much land and many creatures, man and animal.
Snow and ice glaciers are melting quickly, rapidly causing havoc for My dear creatures. Expect to hear many deadly stories concerning the elements that I made and man is destroying.
Rivers and lakes will extend the boundaries- -the oceans too. Much land will be submerged. Some land will remain and I will build on that when I create My New Heavens and New Earth.
Beware, for this is happening rapidly. The constant changes in temperature are also very relative. We, One Triune God, speak to you constantly but the greater majority make Our words, Our warnings a laughing stock---a daily joke.
THIS IS REALITY! You are facing the Great Chastisement, indeed, you are, today, living its early pains. The much awaited, promised purging is now upon the entire earth.
Amen, I have spoken! Amen, it is! Do not sleep but BE READY!"
July 23, 2007
L. began to receive words from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood."
Then your GOD spoke, "AS THE ICE GLACIERS MELT DUE TO THE WARMING OF THE ATMOSPHERE, MANY NEW WATERFALLS WILL FORM AND WATER WILL GUSH FORTH CAUSING MUCH DREADFUL HAVOC."
John Leary (2)
October 9, 2003:
Jesus said: "My people, these large flows of ice that are breaking off in large pieces are more signs of the changing weather at the poles. Just as most of the iceberg is below the water line, man is refusing to accept that major changes are going on in your world. That is not just temperature related, but you could soon see a major shift in the poles that could have dramatic changes in your weather all over the world. When this occurs, it will be associated with My intervention in cleansing the earth and renewing it. "

Flu Viruses May Be Preserved in Ice For Millennia
BLOOMBERG - November 28, 2006 -- Influenza viruses may be preserved in glaciers and Arctic ice for thousands of years and released into the environment when the frozen water is thawed, potentially touching off lethal pandemics, researchers said.---
---The finding may help explain the constant emergence of influenza A-type viruses that cause seasonal epidemics and occasionally set off pandemics capable of killing millions of people.---
---In previous studies, the authors, who include researchers from Israel's Bar-Illan University and the Russian Academy of Sciences, documented the preservation of viruses, bacteria, and fungi in glacial ice for as long as 140,000 years.---
---Ice, ice-covered lakes and glaciers have the potential for being major sources of viruses that cause pandemics and epizootics in birds and other animals,'' they wrote.--- "

Oldest Living Thing Found in Ice
LIVE SCIENCE - August 28, 2007 -- The oldest living thing has been discovered in the form of 600,000-year-old bacteria extracted from ice cores, scientists claim.---
---The trick, the discovery suggests, is for organisms to keep some metabolism going over the millennia, so that they can keep their DNA in repair while awaiting a more favorable environment in which to multiply. The other approach, complete dormancy, would cause DNA to be damaged and perhaps destroyed over such long periods of time.
The scientists isolated long chains of active DNA from the bacteria.
"The colder you make the environment, the longer [DNA] survives," said study team member Thomas Gilbert of the University of Copenhagen.--- "

Eight-Million-Year-Old Bug is Alive and Growing
NEW SCIENTIST ENVIRONMENT - August 7, 2007 -- An 8-million-year-old bacterium that was extracted from the oldest known ice on Earth is now growing in a laboratory, claim researchers.
If confirmed, this means ancient bacteria and viruses will come back to life as ice melts due to global warming. This is nothing to worry about, say experts, because the process has been going on for billions of years and the bugs are unlikely to cause human disease.
Kay Bidle of Rutgers University in New Jersey, US, and his colleagues extracted DNA and bacteria from ice found between 3 and 5 metres beneath the surface of a glacier in the Beacon and Mullins valleys of Antarctica. The ice gets older as it flows down the valleys and the researchers took five samples that were between 100,000 and 8 million years old.--- "

Artic Sea Route Opens as Ice Melts
LONDON (Reuters) - September 15, 2007 -- The Arctic's Northwest Passage has opened up fully because of melting sea ice, clearing a long-sought but historically impassable route between Europe and Asia, the European Space Agency said.
Sea ice has shrunk in the Arctic to its lowest level since satellite measurements began 30 years ago, ESA said, showing images of the now "fully navigable" route between the Atlantic and the Pacific.
A shipping route through the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic has been touted as a possible cheaper option to the Panama Canal for many shippers.---
---Almost all experts say global warming, stoked by human use of fossil fuels, is happening about twice as fast in the Arctic as elsewhere on the planet. Once exposed, dark ground or sea soak up far more heat than ice and snow.--- "

Arctic Ice Continues Record Melting
Arctic Ice the Size of Florida Gone in a Week
ABC NEWS - September 10, 2007 -- An area of Arctic sea ice the size of Florida has melted away in just the last six days as melting at the top of the planet continues at a record rate.
2007 has already broken the record for the lowest amount of sea ice ever recorded, say scientists, smashing the old record set in 2005. ---
--- Scientists say the rate of melting in 2007 has been unprecedented, and veteran ice researchers worry the Arctic is on track to be completely ice-free much earlier than previous research and climate models have suggested. ---"

Artic Sea Ice Coverage Drops to Record Low
FOXNews - August 17, 2007 -- There was less sea ice in the Arctic on Friday than ever before on record, and the melting is continuing, the National Snow and Ice Data Center reported.
"Today is a historic day," said Mark Serreze, a senior research scientist at the center. "This is the least sea ice we've ever seen in the satellite record and we have another month left to go in the melt season this year." ---
"---The puzzling thing, he said, is that the melting is actually occurring faster than computer climate models have predicted.
Several years ago he would have predicted a complete melt of Arctic sea ice in summer would occur by the year 2070 to 2100, Serreze said. But at the rates now occurring, a complete melt could happen by 2030, he said Friday.
There will still be ice in winter, he said, but it could be gone in summer."

Arctic Ice Retreating More Quickly Than Computer Models Project
TERRADAILY - May 1, 2007 -- Arctic sea ice is melting at a significantly faster rate than projected by even the most advanced computer models, a new study concludes. The research, by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the University of Colorado's National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), shows that the Arctic's ice cover is retreating more rapidly than estimated by any of the 18 computer models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in preparing its 2007 assessments.--- "

Antarctic Melting May Be Speeding Up
REUTERS - March 26, 2007-- Rising sea levels and melting polar ice-sheets are at upper limits of projections, leaving some human population centers already unable to cope, top world scientists say as they analyze latest satellite data.---
---But the Antarctic Peninsula is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth, and glaciers are in massive retreat.---
---Dynamic ice-flows could add 25 percent to IPCC forecasts of sea level rise, van Ommen said.
Australian scientist John Hunter, who has focused on historical sea level information, said that to keep the sea water out, communities would need to begin raising sea walls.
"There's lots of places where you can't do that and where you'll have to put up with actual flooding," he said.---
---Worse, every meter of sea level rise causes an inland recession of around 100 meters (300 feet) and more erosion occurs with every storm.
"You can't just say we'll just put sea walls," Hunter said. "

Antarctic's Ice Melting Faster
BBC - February 2, 2005 -- A team of UK researchers claims to have new evidence that global warming is melting the ice in Antarctica faster than had previously been thought.
Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey (Bas) say the rise in sea levels around the world caused by the melting may have been under-estimated.---
---Professor Chris Rapley, director of (Bas), told the conference that Antarctica could become a "giant awakened", contributing heavily to rising sea levels.
Melting in the Antarctic Peninsula removes sea ice that once held back the movement of glaciers. As a result, glaciers flow into the ocean up to six times faster than before.
The other region in the continent affected by the changes is West Antarctica, where warmer sea water is thought to be eroding the ice from underneath.--- "

Dramatic Change in West Antarctic Ice Could Produce 16Ft Rise in Sea Levels
UK INDEPENDENT - February 2, 2005 --British scientists have discovered a new threat to the world which may be a result of global warming. Researchers from the Cambridge-based British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have discovered that a massive Antarctic ice sheet previously assumed to be stable may be starting to disintegrate, a conference on climate change heard yesterday. Its collapse would raise sea levels around the earth by more than 16 feet.
BAS staff are carrying out urgent measurements of the remote points in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) where they have found ice to be flowing into the sea at the enormous rate of 250 cubic kilometres a year, a discharge alone that is raising global sea levels by a fifth of a millimetre a year.---
---It was amplified by senior climate researchers, who said the amount of future warming to which the world is firmly committed, because of greenhouse gases that have already been put into the atmosphere, will be enough to threaten the survival of many ecosystems and wildlife species such as polar bears and penguins.
"I believe that most of the warming we are expecting over the next few decades is now virtually inevitable, and even in this time frame we may expect a significant impact," Mrs Beckett said. "

Greenland's Ice Cap Is Melting at a Frighteningly Fast Rate
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE - August 11, 2006 -- The vast ice cap that covers Greenland nearly three miles thick is melting faster than ever before on record, and the pace is speeding year by year, according to global climate watchers gathering data from twin satellites that probe the effects of warming on the huge northern island.
The consequence is already evident in a small but ominous rise in sea levels around the world, a pace that is also accelerating, the scientists say. ---
---According to the scientists' data, Greenland's ice is melting at a rate three times faster than it was only five years ago. ---
---The increasing flow of fresh water -- most of it from glaciers melting on Greenland's eastern coast -- is already beginning to change the composition of the ocean's salt water currents flowing past Northwestern Europe, the scientists say.---
---"The sobering thing is to see that the whole process of glacial melting is stepping up much more rapidly than before," said Tapley in a statement.--- "

Greenland is Shrinking at Surprising Rate
LIVESCIENCE - November 16, 2005 -- A new study reveals one of the largest glaciers in Greenland is shrinking and speeding to the sea faster than scientists expected. If it continues, Greenland itself could become much smaller during this century and global seas could rise as much as 3 feet.---
---"This is a very fast glacier, and it's likely to get faster," Howat said.
As the glacier's front retreats, its like a dam has been removed, and the inland portion can move more swiftly. The process has been seen in Antarctica by other researchers. A similar runaway effect has struck Greenland's Jakobshavn Isbrae glacier.---
---The melting is driven by a warmer climate. Temperatures in Greenland have risen more than five degrees Fahrenheit (three degrees Celsius) in the last decade.---
---Since most of Greenland's ice is on land, seas will rise as the ice melts. Predicting the extent of the rise is tricky, however. If Greenland's entire ice sheet melted, oceans would be 15-20 feet higher. Nobody expects that to happen anytime soon.
Relatively conservative estimates from climate models suggest Greenland alone could contribute about 4 inches of sea-level rise in 21st Century, said Howat's colleague Slawek Tulaczyk. Other recent models put the figure at up to 3 feet.
"Much of the near-future glaciologic work in Greenland will be focused on refining this estimate," Tulaczyk said. "

Greenland Ice Cap Breaking Up at Twice the Rate it Was Five Years Ago
INDEPENDENT - February 17, 2006 -- A satellite study of the Greenland ice cap shows that it is melting far faster than scientists had feared - twice as much ice is going into the sea as it was five years ago. The implications for rising sea levels - and climate change - could be dramatic.---
---This new satellite data is a remarkable advance. We are seeing for the first time the detailed behaviour of the ice streams that are draining the Greenland ice sheet. They show that Greenland seems to be losing at least 200 cubic kilometres of ice a year. It is different from even two years ago, when people still said the ice sheet was in balance.
Hundreds of cubic kilometres sounds like a lot of ice. But this is just the beginning. Once a sheet starts to disintegrate, it can reach a tipping point beyond which break-up is explosively rapid. The issue is how close we are getting to that tipping point. The summer of 2005 broke all records for melting in Greenland. So we may be on the edge.
Our understanding of what is going on is very new. Today's forecasts of sea-level rise use climate models of the ice sheets that say they can only disintegrate over a thousand years or more. But we can now see that the models are almost worthless. They treat the ice sheets like a single block of ice that will slowly melt. But what is happening is much more dynamic.
Once the ice starts to melt at the surface, it forms lakes that empty down crevasses to the bottom of the ice. You get rivers of water underneath the ice. And the ice slides towards the ocean.
Our Nasa scientists have measured this in Greenland. And once these ice streams start moving, their influence stretches right to the interior of the ice sheet. Building an ice sheet takes a long time, because it is limited by snowfall. But destroying it can be explosively rapid.--- "

ASIA NEWS - May 17, 2005 -- Global warming is melting away Mount Everest glaciers, putting water supplies at risk.---
---Global warming is shrinking Everest glaciers at a particularly high rate and threatens the balance of global water resources---.
---Chinese scientists found that one Everest glacier shrank by 50 metres (165 ft) in just two years, more than twice as fast as normal, while a huge, high-altitude ice cliff seen in 2002 has apparently disappeared.
Similar melting has also been reported on Nepal's side of the mountain.--- "

Ice Is Melting Everywhere
ENVIRONMENT NEW SERVICE - February 25, 2005 -- Ice is melting everywhere - and at an accelerating rate. Rising global temperatures are lengthening melting seasons, thawing frozen ground, and thinning ice caps and glaciers that in some cases have existed for millennia. These changes are raising sea level faster than earlier projected by scientists, and threatening both human and wildlife populations.---
---Scientists fear that with continued melting, the bears may become extinct by the end of the century. Seals, walruses, and seabirds will also lose key feeding and breeding grounds along the ice edge.---
---This type of acceleration has been witnessed throughout Antarctica and Greenland when ice shelves collapse, removing the barrier to the sea for interior glaciers and quickening the rate of fresh water loss to the ocean.---
---Most disturbing, many of the effects of ice melting are self-reinforcing. As ice disappears, land and open water are exposed. When sunlight strikes ice and snow, approximately 80 percent is reflected back into space and 20 percent is absorbed as heat. The opposite holds true for land and open water - 20 percent is reflected and 80 percent is absorbed.
This decrease in reflectivity, or albedo, creates a positive feedback loop, perpetuating the temperature rise and ice melting. Additionally, soot from faraway sources has darkened snow and ice, further decreasing albedo.
Melt water on top of glaciers and ice sheets contributes to fracturing and destabilization of the ice masses and increases flow rates as the water lubricates the underside of the ice. Thawing tundra releases trapped carbon dioxide and methane from newly created wetlands, contributing to further warming.
Finally, increased fresh water from melting glaciers and sea ice could alter ocean circulation patterns and destabilize regional climate patterns, perhaps weakening the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic currents that moderate Europe’s climate. Warmer waters may also decrease the ocean's ability to act as a carbon sink. If no action is taken to halt global warming, these positive feedbacks could quickly send climate change spiraling out of control.--- "

On Tomkiel's, Leary's and Ameche's Messages Being Frightening; And Thus, Untrue
We receive a number of responses from people who discount certain messages from Heaven as being true simply because they deem them to be frightening. Surprisingly, this is true of both those messages yet-to-be-approved, as well as those that have been approved by the Church.
This piece is written for those people who find certain messages to be frightening --- specifically, the messages imparted through Louise Tomkiel (1), John Leary (2) and Carol Ameche (3).
We are humans; and as such, are imperfect. God is perfect in every way. If we as parents would warn our children of impending danger, how much more would Our Heavenly Father warn us?
Remember that Our Heavenly Father is as merciful and loving as He is omni-potent.
Note that just as the Apocalypse of John is a book of hope (We win!!!) --- so too, each of Tomkiel's, Leary's and Ameche's messages are messages of hope. Yes, He warns us of terrible things that may befall mankind if he does not repent --- but in the messages He always (especially when taken as a whole) states that He will protect His Faithful Remnant.
Lot was a faithful man. Did God not warn Lot about His impending destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah? Would you consider a message about the complete and utter destruction of two cities as 'frightening'? Yet we find such a message within the Holy Bible:
"But the men put forth their hands and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door. And they struck with blindness the men who were at the door of the house, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves groping for the door. Then the men said to Lot, "Have you any one else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or any one you have in the city, bring them out of the place; for we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it." So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, "Up, get out of this place; for the LORD is about to destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting. When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city." But he lingered; so the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him forth and set him outside the city. And when they had brought them forth, they said, "Flee for your life; do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley; flee to the hills, lest you be consumed." And Lot said to them, "Oh, no, my lords; behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life; but I cannot flee to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me, and I die. Behold, yonder city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there--is it not a little one?--and my life will be saved!" He said to him, "Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken. Make haste, escape there; for I can do nothing till you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zo'ar. The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zo'ar. Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomor'rah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. But Lot's wife behind him looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD; and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomor'rah and toward all the land of the valley, and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace. So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt." (Cf. Gen 19:10-29)
God warned His Faithful in advance of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; He protected His Faithful first; and then utterly destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Once again, we direct your attention to the Old Testament, especially the prophetic texts therein --- Joel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, Daniel, Amos, Ezekiel, Malachi, etc., and the prophetic texts of the New Testament --- Mat 24, Mark 13, Luk 21, Joh 16 --- as well as, the Apocalypse (Revelation). You might revisit these and the other prophetic texts.
Consider Ezekiel 9 which speaks of the End Times:
"Then he cried loud for me to hear: Come, you scourges of the city! With that I saw six men coming from the direction of the upper gate which faces the north, each with a destroying weapon in his hand. In their midst was a man dressed in linen, with a writer's case at his waist. They entered and stood beside the bronze altar. Then he called to the man dressed in linen with the writer's case at his waist, saying to him: Pass through the city (through Jerusalem) and mark an X on the foreheads of those who moan
and groan over all the abominations that are practiced within it. To the others I heard him say: Pass through the city after him and strike! Do not look on them with pity nor show any mercy! Old men, youths and maidens, women and children--wipe them out! But do not touch any marked with the X; begin at my sanctuary. So they began with the men (the elders) who were in front of the temple. Defile the temple, he said to them, and fill the courts with the slain; then go out and strike in the city. As they began to strike, I was left alone. I fell prone, crying out, Alas, Lord GOD! Will you destroy all that is left of Israel when you pour out your fury on Jerusalem?" He answered me: The sins of the house of Israel are great beyond measure; the land is filled with bloodshed, the city with lawlessness. They think that the LORD has forsaken the land, that he does not see them. I, however, will not look upon them with pity, nor show any mercy. I will bring down their conduct upon their heads. Then I saw the man dressed in linen with the writing case at his waist make his report: "I have done as you ordered." (Cf. Eze 9:2-11)
Consider also, the many plagues of the Apocalypse (which are antitypes of the plagues of Exodus):
"Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth; they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads; they were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man. And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death will fly from them. In appearance the locusts were like horses arrayed for battle; on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; they had scales like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power of hurting men for five months lies in their tails. They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abad'don, and in Greek he is called Apol'lyon. The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come. Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphra'tes." So the four angels were released, who had been held ready for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, to kill a third of mankind. The number of the troops of cavalry was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. And this was how I saw the horses in my vision: the riders wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulphur, and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulphur issued from their mouths. By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulphur issuing from their mouths. For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; their tails are like serpents, with heads, and by means of them they wound. The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot either see or hear or walk; nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their immorality or their thefts." (Cf. Rev 9:3-21)
Further, we have seen the Church provide its approval of certain heavenly messages, which speak of terrible events if man fails to respond properly to the warnings of God. Your attention is directed to LaSalette, Akita and Our Lady of All Nations:
Our Lady of LaSalette - Approved by the Church as worthy of belief
Our Lady appeared to two children and spoke of a forthcoming chastisement from heaven if man did not repent. She stated that this chastisement would be worse than the deluge, and in fact the worst that the world has ever encountered. She also predicted the rise of Communism at the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20th century. She also said:
"The priests, ministers of my Son, the priests, by their wicked lives, by their irreverence and their impiety in the celebration of the holy mysteries, by their love of money, their love of honors and pleasures, the priests have become cesspools of impurity. Yes, the priests are asking vengeance, and vengeance is hanging over their heads. Woe to the priests and to those dedicated to God who by their unfaithfulness and their wicked lives are crucifying my Son again. ---"
"God will strike in an unprecedented way."
"The true faith to the Lord having been forgotten, each individual will want to be on his own and be superior to people of same identity. They will abolish civil rights as well as ecclesiastical. All order and all justice would be trampled underfoot, and only homicides, hate, jealousy, lies and dissension would be seen, without love for country or family."
"The Holy Father will suffer a great deal. I will be with him until the end and receive his sacrifice."
"The mischievous would attempt his life several times to do harm and shorten his days but neither him nor his successor will see the triumph of the Church of God."
"At the first blow of His thundering sword, the mountains and all Nature will tremble in terror, for the disorders and crimes of men have pierced the vault of the heavens. Paris will burn and Marseille will be engulfed. Several cities will be shaken down and swallowed up by earthquakes. People will believe that all is lost. Nothing will be seen but murder; nothing will be heard but the clash of arms and blasphemy."
"The earth will be struck by calamities of all kinds (in addition to plague and famine which will be widespread). There will be a series of wars until the last war, which will then be fought by the ten Kings of the Antichrist, all of whom will have one and the same plan and will be the only rulers of the world. Before this comes to pass, there will be a kind of false peace in the world. People will think of nothing but amusement. The wicked will give themselves over to all kinds of sin. But the children of the holy Church, the children of my faith, my true followers, they will grow in their love for God and in all the virtues most precious to me. Blessed are the souls humbly guided by the Holy Spirit! I shall fight at their side until they reach a fullness of years."
"The seasons will be altered, the earth will produce nothing but bad fruit. The stars will lose their regular motion. The moon will only reflect a faint reddish glow. Water and fire will give the earth's globe convulsions and terrible earthquakes which will swallow up mountains, cities, etc. ---"
"Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist."
"The Church will be in eclipse, the world will be in dismay. But now Enoch and Eli will come, filled with the Spirit of God. They will preach with the might of God, and men of good will will believe in God, and many souls will be comforted. They will make great steps forward through the virtue of the Holy Spirit and will condemn the devilish lapses of the Antichrist. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth! There will be bloody wars and famines, plagues and infectious diseases. It will rain with a fearful hail of animals. There will be thunderstorms which will shake cities, earthquakes which will swallow up countries. Voices will be heard in the air. Men will beat their heads against walls, call for their death, and on another side death will be their torment. Blood will flow on all sides. Who will be the victor if God does not shorten the length of the test? All the blood, the tears and the prayers of the righteous, God will relent. Enoch and Eli will be put to death. Pagan Rome will disappear. The fire of Heaven will fall and consume three cities. All the universe will be struck with terror and many will let themselves be led astray because they have not worshipped the true Christ who lives among them. It is time; the sun is darkening; only faith will survive."
"Now is the time; the abyss is opening. Here is the King of Kings of darkness, here is the Beast with his subjects, calling himself the savior of the world. He will rise proudly into the air to go to Heaven. He will be smothered by the breath of the Archangel Saint Michael. He will fall, and the earth, which will have been in a continuous series of evolutions for three days, will open up its fiery bowels; and he will have plunged for eternity with all his followers into the everlasting chasms of hell. And then water and fire will purge the earth and consume all the works of men's pride and all will be renewed. God will be served and glorified."
Our Lady of Akita - Approved by the Church as worthy of belief:
On October 13, 1973, Our Lady said: "As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one never seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, Pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests."
"The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres --- churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord."
"Pray very much the prayers of the Rosary. I alone am able still to save you from the calamities which approach. Those who place their confidence in me will be saved.".

Hellish inventions
"Then I see a very peculiar scene. I have to look at the sky, and something seems to be launched into it. There is something flying past me so rapidly that I can hardly see it. It is shaped like a cigar or a torpedo, and its color is like that of aluminum.
All of a sudden I see something shooting off from the back. I feel about with my hand, and different terrible sensations come over me. At first a total numbness. I live and yet I do not live. Then I see horrible images of people before me. I see faces, wide faces, covered with dreadful ulcers, something like leprosy. Then I feel terrible deadly diseases: cholera, leprosy --- everything those people have to suffer.
Then that is gone again, and I see tiny little black things floating about me. I try to feel what it is, but that is not possible. It seems to be very fine matter. With my eyes I cannot discern what it is. It is as if I would have to look through something, and below I now see brilliant white fields. Upon those fields I see those little black things, but enlarged, and it is as if they are alive. I don't know how to describe this properly. I ask the Lady, "Are these bacilli?" She answers very seriously,
"It is hellish."
Then I feel my face and my whole body swelling. It feels like my face gets very bloated, and everything is stiff and swollen. I cannot move. I hear the Lady say,
"And that is what they are inventing,"
and then very softly,
"that Russian, but the others as well."
After this the Lady says emphatically,
"Peoples, be warned!"
And then the Lady goes away."

Russia
Then the Lady says,
"Come along to Russia."
I now see Russia. The Lady takes me along to glass buildings, underground too --- all kinds of people are working there. These seem to be Germans, Frenchmen, Poles, but others too; I hear them speaking different languages. It seems to be deep in Russia, somewhere in the great uninhabited plains of northern Russia. The Lady says,
"They are making chemicals there. America, be warned! Intervene, do intervene!
Not only human lives are at issue here, but higher powers. Bring faith into the world again. But the faithful. ---"
and the Lady shakes her head.
"Live according to it--Love of Neighbor -- for Love is the first commandment! Righteousness comes next."

L. began to receive a message and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood." (and other prayers of testing)
Then Jesus spoke, " Our Father God spoke of these times and all is recorded in Scripture. I, Jesus, reiterated His words during My sojourn on earth. Why then, are you so surprised by the daily news, all that is happening in nature and the despicable acts of man!
Although all will worsen until it reaches its climax, remember My dear ones that all must be --- all will be --- yet all is transitory.
Pray your way through these times. Be joyful. After the purification you see the New Heavens and the New Earth, all a gift from the Father to all His remaining faithful ones who kept the faith until the end.
Rejoice! -- for time is short -- time is near. All is proceeding according to God's Plan.
Fear not! Rest in My Sacred, Loving Heart,
Amen, dear ones. I will NEVER leave My own.
Amen, dear ones. I love you. I warn you. My word IS TRUTH!!! Pray and be prepared every minute for all that will be, all that must be. Surrender your stubborn will to live only God's Will for you -- DAILY, HOURLY -- ALWAYS!
Amen!!!"
End of messages.
Are these not 'frightening messages' from God? The answer is 'yes' if you are an evil person. The answer is 'No' if you are among the Faithful Remnant whom He will protect.
Are not the messages of Tomkiel, Leary and Ameche extensions of such prophetic messages?
Dilate your heart. Pray to the Holy Spirit for His gift of discernment. Ask Jesus to cover you with His Holy Blood and to protect you from all evil --- and then read public and private prophecy --- always obeying the legitimate Magisterium of His Church.
Make the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary --- continue to hold her hand throughout all things.
Trust in God --- He can not refuse a trusting soul --- IT IS IMPOSSIBLE! God is as loving and merciful as He is omni-potent. (reflect upon that.)
He has told us what He wants us to do --- and promised that He will take care of us.
BE NOT AFRAID.
Make the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and prepare as Our Lord has instructed us to --- All will be well.
God always takes care of His people --- ALWAYS.
