Sandy brings us three steps closer to the apocalypse!

The above photo was taken at Avenue C on the lower East side in Manhattan. Wow, right?

See the original on Instagram here.

If you’re like me, you’ve been watching the Internets with great curiosity as Sandy unfolded its powerful arms and unleashed the giant storm onto the northeast.

As she used her fire-hose powered water cannons protruding from her mile-wide nipples and sprayed water and winds over the northeast.

I’m no bible scholar, but I get the feeling — from an ignorant reading of biblical text — that the apocalyptic end of the world is coming soon.

Every second. Every minute. Every hour. Every week. 

Every month.

Every year.

Every two years.

Every decade.

Every … shit … what comes between decade and millennia?

Centurion ski boats?

All I know is, the more time that passes between Jesus’s promise and a cataclysmic storm like Sandy … excuse me … a providentially-predicted storm like Sandy … we get closer to the almighty return.

We don’t know the hour. We don’t know the place.

But we do know that “this generation” — this one right now! — will not pass before Jesus returns.

Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it^[d] is near, right at the door. ³⁰ Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. ³¹ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Keep in mind, it might be the next generation, just in case this one passes and the next one starts.

But be ready!

It’s coming. And perfectly natural disasters are ushering us closer and closer to the pending apocalypse.

By the way, I am not relieved that Cindy Jacob’s prayers were unanswered.

That means only one thing.

We are alone.

While Jesus is trying to beat Ba’al’s Angry Birds score.

The police chasing hedge fund managers through the streets of lower Manhattan with firehoses is a scene that I will never forget.

A close runner up:

Underclass! Boo hoo! Do you want some cheese with that 2005 Petrus?

These quotes are from a post titled, “Super-rich private equity crybabies vs. Obama“

Read it!

 

Honey, did you see what the cat(fish) dragged into the back yard?

Damn you, Global Warming!

From BlackEiffel blog:

Crikey! Did you see this? From what I understand, a mondo iceberg four times the size of Manhattan broke into pieces off the coast of Greenland last year, and now nearly a year later they are seeing it appear off the ‘iceberg alley’ shores of Newfoundland!

The top photo is a slice of ice that hit Newfoundland’s Goose Cove temporarily blocking the harbor until it broke and melted a bit.

That largest iceberg piece? They call it ‘Petermann’s Ice Island’ which NASA has been watching and it has yet to hit the shores. Pretty surreal, huh?! I am continually fascinated by the mighty nature and beauty of icebergs! (See previous post) You can see a video clip for the magnitude of Petermann’s Ice Island here.

New York City Same – Sex Marriage Day One – One Lonely Protester

You make a good argument. We should all listen to little ol’ you.

July 24, 2011, Office of the City Clerk, 141 Worth Street, Manhattan. A huge crowd cheered the several hundred couples who stood in long lines to obtain marriage licenses and to get married on the spot with a waiver of the mandatory 24 hour wait. This one protester was largely ignored and his rant delivered from a distance was unheard. Later, a man who identified as Jewish, Joseph Garber, joined him in the protesters’ pen. His signs were barely legible. One read “Homo Sexuality is a Biblican sin”.
