the Underminer

 God
is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and
he reserveth wrath for his enemies. The
LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and
in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and
Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world,
and all that dwell therein. Who
can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and
the rocks are thrown down by him. Nahum 1:2-6
Though
the word "atmosphere" is not in the King James Version of the Bible, there are plentiful references to the physical
and spiritual atmospheric variants all throughout the Holy Ghost inspired Word of GOD. From the creation of the physical atmosphere in the
opening verses of Genesis, as JEHOVAH separates the firmaments, to the closing chapter of Revelation, in which the supernatural
atmosphere of the Kingdom of JEHOVAH is described, one can clearly see the CREATOR has created atmospheres as a necessary
component in the inner workings of His plan.
Combining the atmospheric variants illustrated in the
Word of JEHOVAH as well as the ones witnessed and personally experienced in our modern end-times environment with the revelation
of JEHOVAH'S plan for Jerusalem, the eternal and indivisible capital of Israel on this earth and the type and shadow of the
future home for believers in heaven, it becomes apparent that JEHOVAH'S timepiece directly influences the spiritual and physical
atmospheres of both this world and the next. Whether
the atmosphere is spiritual, physical, or even the ambiance of any given situation, the combination of these atmospheres and
the variables in which these combinations are interwoven are all directly influenced and related to the plan of JEHOVAH. This interaction can be currently observed as the world rallies
behind the United States' feverish ambition to divide the Covenant Land of Israel and Jerusalem. The result is a direct and
observable impact upon every aspect of the supernatural and natural makeup of the atmospheric variants intimately connected
to the spiritual and physical atmospheres of mortal mankind and this temporary earth according to the incomprehensibly intricate
construct of JEHOVAH'S sovereign will. Simply
said, there is a Divinely instituted and governed cause and effect reaction to the approach that is taken towards Jerusalem,
Israel, and the Covenant that binds them to the ALMIGHTY GOD. A Covenant reinforced by no greater power than the integrity
of His Word.
This cause and effect is clearly stated by the prophet
Obadiah in verse 15, For
the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done (unto Israel),
it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head. (emphasis added) This verse, coupled with the promises made by JEHOVAH to Abraham
passed on through the lineage of Jacob found in Genesis 12:2,3, And
I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And
I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (emphasis mine) allows the complexity
of the cause and effect relationship to become quite elementary to understand. Those who curse Israel and the Covenant JEHOVAH
established with Abraham are cursed and those who bless Israel and the Covenant JEHOVAH established with Abraham are blessed.
An example of this cause and effect reaction could be
felt this past week in the atmosphere here in Oklahoma, as the atmosphere for several days had been heavy, sticky, and ominous.
I believe the atmosphere here was being directly impacted by the demonic steps being taken by the USA, with the support of
the world, against Israel and Jerusalem. Even the spiritual atmosphere felt heavy and dreadful as the unrelenting pressure
from the Obama administration continued to unabashedly attempt to push Israel into a position of challenging their eternal
Covenant with the ALMIGHTY GOD. Going back a week
further, this cause and effect relationship seemed to be set in motion by the US Special Envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell's
visit to Israel, as he set out to announce the anticipated resumption of "peace talks", albeit indirect. The effects
of this cause seemed to play out the whole time Mitchell was in Israel. As Mitchell was in Israel, news here in the US was littered with chaotic and disaster related
news reports.
 = Obama declared a federal disaster for the flooding destruction in Nashville and other counties of Tennessee after parts of the western and middle areas of the state saw 1,000-year flooding (along with areas of Kentucky). Some areas
had an unprecedented two-day rain total of more than 19", which was the contributing factor to the Cumberland River's
colossal crest of 51.86 ft, a height not seen since 1937 before the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flood control measures were
implemented. Eleven other locations reported record-breaking river crests. Though the damage total is still unknown, the preliminary
estimates are close to $1.5 billion dollars and at least 31 confirmed fatalities have been reported.

§ 2005 hurricane season was the most active Atlantic hurricane season in recorded history and shattered many records previously set with 28 tropical
and subtropical storms, 15 hurricanes, 7 major hurricanes, four cat 5 hurricanes, and a record tying five cat 4 hurricanes.
Two of the hurricanes to reach cat 5 intensity were Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma, respectively the costliest and most intense
hurricanes on record. The estimated loss of life totaled 3,865 deaths with a damage-estimated price tag of $130 billion. Five
of the 7 major hurricanes made landfall: Dennis, Emily, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. Florida and Louisiana were both struck twice
by major hurricanes. The most catastrophic hurricane to hit the USA mainland was Hurricane Katrina as she roared ashore on
the Gulf Coast with a 30-ft (10m) storm surge. Katrina left 1,836 confirmed fatalities and $90.1 billion (2010 US $) worth
of damage in the wake of her aftermath. Though the normal hurricane season is between June 1 and November 30, the 2005, Atlantic
hurricane season pushed into January 2006, with continued storm activity.

§ 2008 hurricane season was the fourth most active Atlantic hurricane season recorded since 1944, and the third costliest on record. It is so far
the only season on record to have a major hurricane in every month during the hurricane season beginning in June and ending
in November. The 2008 season left an estimated 1,055 fatalities and a price tag of approximately $47.5 billion (2008
US $) in damage. Of the estimated lives lost during the season, 800 came from Haiti after getting hit by 4 consecutive tropical
systems, Fay, Gustav, Hanna, and Ike, with Hurricane Hanna being the deadliest.
= The Dow Jones Flash crash set a record for the largest one-day point decline of 998.5 points in roughly 15 min, temporarily vaporizing $1 trillion
in market value before its unprecedented rebound, though only partial. The market for the day closed -347.80 down, continuing
a three day downturn of -631.51 points, that carried over into Friday's sell off of -139.89, finishing the week with a four
day decline totaling -771.40 points. (George Mitchell arrived in Israel late Monday, through all four days of the US market
sell off, he was in Israel holding meetings with Israeli and Palestinian officials, including Netanyahu and Abbas, to announce
the long awaited start of US mediated indirect talks.)

BP's effort to stop the gaping 21" pipe from spewing Louisiana sweet crude into the Gulf continued to be the hot news item through out the week, though the true magnitude of the event remained increasingly elusive. (NOTE:
I have included a section of the event timeline surrounding the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe
that in part coincides with Mitchell's trip to Israel (Trip
days marked with a Y.).
On
Sunday, the State Department issued the following statement about Special Envoy George Mitchell’s trip to Israel per
Philip Crowley: U.S. DEPARTMENT
OF STATE Office
of the Spokesman May
9, 2010 STATEMENT BY PHILIP
J. CROWLEY, ASSISTANT
SECRETARY OF STATE FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Statement
on Special Envoy George Mitchell's Trip
Special
Envoy Mitchell left the Middle East on Sunday (May 9), after completing the first round of proximity talks with Israeli and
Palestinian leaders. The talks were serious and wide-ranging. Both parties are taking some steps to help create an atmosphere that
is conducive to successful talks, including President Abbas’ statement that he will work against incitement
of any sort and Prime Minister Netanyahu’s statement that there will be no construction at
the Ramat Shlomo project for two years. They are both trying to move forward in difficult circumstances
and we commend them for that.
We
have received commitments from both sides, and we have made assurances to both sides, that are enabling us to move forward.
The full scope of these discussions will remain private. As both parties know, if either takes significant actions during the proximity talks that we judge
would seriously undermine trust, we will respond to hold them accountable and ensure that negotiations
continue. Special Envoy Mitchell
emphasized the importance of making progress in these talks to enable the parties to move to direct negotiations that will
result in a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Our overall goal remains a comprehensive peace in the
Middle East. He will return to
the region next week to continue the proximity talks. . http://m.america.gov/18111/show/61b71e421e349a190b17d29c6c040600&t=e554876fe4b2715d733b4382740c9bf7
. [end excerpt,
emphasis mine] Once again
the State Department spokesman Philip Crowley made another atmospheric reference as he described the moves by both the Israelis
and the Palestinians to start indirect talks, stating that the two sides had taken "steps to create an atmosphere
that is conducive to successful talks."
