Crazy 2011

Disasters and horrible things have been happening since the beginning of 2011. 

A massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit the Pacific Ocean nearby Northeastern Japan, 5 days ago. It caused damage with blackouts, fire and tsunami. It has killed thousands of people, thousands are missing and at least 10,000 feared dead after the disaster. Whole villages and towns have been wiped off the map! It has caused a nuclear catastrophe at the stricken Fukushima power plant. 
Explosions, fire and low levels of radiation that have wafted in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake and tsunami as authorities struggle to prevent dangerous leakage. Radioactive material leaking from reactors was enough to impact human health and the risk of more leaks was very high. They want people to stay indoors or risk getting radiation sickness. The level seems very high, and there is still a very high risk of more radiation coming out. Problem is, it also may spread to the countries all around the pacific ocean! 
It is horrifying for the Japanese! They have lost their homes and now telling them to stay indoors because of the radiation. 
This crisis following the earthquake and tsunami is very worrying.
They say that good thing is that the prevailing wind in the area of the stricken plant was heading east into the Pacific, which would help carry any radiation. 
But hey what if the wind changes its direction and head west instead?? Then what??

The New Zealand earthquake, three weeks ago, was horrible as well. It was a 6.3 magnitude hitting Christchurch. It was a dark day for them. A lot of damage and at least 65 people died. 

Everything happens in just a sudden. Those nature disasters are the worst. Just horrible. 

All that is happening with the Arab regimes...
Starting in Tunisia, protests have deeply shaken one of the Middle East's most repressive regimes, forcing the president that ruled Tunisia for 23 years to step down.
Tunisian protests served a red flag for other Arab autocracies, such as Algeria, Yemen, Bahrain and Jordan, began to experience civil unrest. 
Egypt, the Arab world's most populous country, had a revolution too. After 18 days of angry protests, the president (Mubarak) resigned and turned over all power to the military, ending his 30 years of autocratic rule and bowing to a historic popular uprising that has transformed politics in Egypt and around the Arab world.
Libya, is going through a great crisis now too. the 40 year rule of the president (Gaddafi) is under threat amid spiralling unrest throughout Libya. Protests are out on the streets with flames and smoke rising... Many are being killed. Gaddafi has been using foreign mercenaries, death squads, planes, to stop and even gun down the protesters, including mourners at the funeral! Yet still chaos is all over. 

It's all crazy, as it is signs for the end of the world - That's what people have been saying, justifying the 2012 theory, since all of that is happing now and we are getting closer to 2012. 
Oh man... Do not be fooled! First of all this is happening because the bible said it will happen. But nobody knows when it's going to be the end! Although we are definitely getting there - We have been approaching the end quiet a long time ago - It is getting worse as it is written but I think it will take more time than just a year for all that's written to occur. 
What's good out of all the horribleness that's going on is that Jesus is definitely coming soon. 
So stay positive and keep praying!
