Recent Cyber Attack Is A Foretaste of Europe Attacking The U.S.


On May 12, a cyber attack happened that caught businesses, governments and others unawares and blackmailed them into giving $300.00 in order to restore their encrypted files.


May 13, 2017
24 hours after it first emerged, it has been called the first global, coordinated ransomware attack using hacking tools developed by the NSA, crippling over a dozen hospitals across the UK, mass transit around Europe, car factories in France and the UK, universities in China, corporations in the US, banks in Russia and countless other mission-critical businesses and infrastructure. 
According to experts, “this could be one of the worst-ever recorded attacks of its kind.” The security researcher who tweets and blogs as MalwareTech told The Intercept, “I’ve never seen anything like this with ransomware,” and “the last worm of this degree I can remember is Conficker.” Conficker was a notorious Windows worm first spotted in 2008; it went on to infect over 9 million computers in nearly 200 countries. 
The fallout, according to cyber-specialists, has been “unprecedented”: it has left unprepared governments, companies and security experts from China to the United Kingdom on Saturday reeling, and racing to contain the damage from the audacious cyberattack that spread quickly across the globe, raising fears that people would not be able to meet ransom demands before their data are destroyed.

I knew it would not be long till some COGladite minister would latch onto it and use it to further their already bankrupt prophecy predictions.

Never one to let us down, Almost-arrested Elisha, Elijah, Joshua, Amos, Habakkuk, doubly blessed, bitter "son" of Rod Meredith and Chief Overseer of the improperly named "continuing" Church of God, stepped up to the plate and made an ass of himself, once again.


The election in the USA of Donald Trump in 2016, followed by various statements after he became the President of the USA has offended many Europeans and is spurring them to increase their military spending and to plan to become independent of the USA for its security. 
This European Beast power has been developing technology for at least part of its military strength and long-term economic plans (see also European Technology and the Beast of Revelation). 
Eventually, perhaps under the guise of a NATO exercise, Europe will launch a surprise attack against the USA (cf. 1 Thessalonians 5:3; Daniel 11:39). This would possibly happen after one or more trade disputes, and perhaps after the USA has been weakened by weather problems, terrorist acts (from likely Islamic sources allied with Europe, per Psalm 83:3-8), war, riots, solar flares, severe earthquakes, civil unrest, devastation of their genetically-modified food supplies, food shortages, and/or various pestilences–an intensity of “sorrows” such as Jesus discussed in Matthew 24:4-8 leading up to the time of the Great Tribulation. Disasters, especially if there is an ElectroMagnetic Pulse (emp) attack or a severe solar flare storm, could be part of a so-called “perfect storm” of events that could set up the USA for destruction. 
As mentioned before, I suspect that after the Europeans and the USA and UK have some strained relations in the future, the Europeans may call for/agree to a joint military exercise, possibly under the conditions of NATO, in the USA. This would allow the Europeans to bring military aircraft, troops, and other military items to the USA, without the USA getting concerned it would soon be attacked.
The USA and Great Britain (including its Anglo-Commonwealth members, like Australia and Canada) were “great among the nations.” And the Bible is clear that betrayal is coming from national FRIENDS! Like many of those in NATO.
A ‘perfect storm’ is building. One day the USA and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies will be no more.

  2. Bob Thiel, the almost-arrested Elisha, Elijah, Joshua, Amos, Habakkuk, doubly blessed, bitter "son" of Rod Meredith and Chief Overseer of the improperly named "continuing" Church of God, issues 'prophecies' that are even more LAME than the Catholic '3 prophecies of Fatima':

    The 2nd 'prophecy' of Fatima was a 'prediction' of WWII that the Vatican didn't release until 1941!! (do the math)

    But Bob Thiel, you cannot even clearly identify any such "Beast!"

    Bob Thiel comtimues: "...Eventually, perhaps...This would possibly happen...and perhaps after...especially if...could be part of a so-called “perfect storm” of events that could set up the USA for destruction.
    As mentioned before, I suspect that...Europeans may call for/agree to...possibly...this would allow...A ‘perfect storm’ is building. One day the USA and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies will be no more...."

    What a bunch of baloney! It does not look good for the USA and its allies.

    Until you, Bob Thiel, can prove to us exactly who your "Beast" is, I think I'll just continue to believe the following about what God is doing:

    "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, NOT IMPUTING their trespasses unto them..." 2 Corinthians 5:19

    And that is good news for the world including the USA and its allies.

    And, of course, time will tell...

  4. I had some second thoughts. Bob Thiel confidently said: "This European Beast power has been developing technology for at least part of its military strength and long-term economic plans (see also European Technology and the Beast of Revelation)."

    So I went to Bob's suggested site where Bob said: "...The Beast Power Will be a Warring Power

    Before going further, it needs to be pointed out that the Bible is clear that the final Beast power will be a warring power.

    The Bible discusses a warring Beast from the sea in Revelation 13:1-10. This seem leader is referred to as a type of Beast in Daniel 7, a king in Daniel 8 and 11, and a king in Isaiah 10.

    Bob Thiel then cites Isaiah 10:5-12, which suggest that some Assyria is that Beast; however, the word "Beast" can't be found in Isaiah 10.

    Then Bob cites Daniel 11:36, 38, but again there is no reference to some "Beast!"

    And then Bob Thiel concludes saying: We "see that the King/Beast is a warring power."

    Duh, one sees no such thing!

    I'd be better off using only two verses of the Bible and concluding Satan is the beast:

    Rev 12:3 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads."

    Oh, oh, no mention of any "Beast" there! But there that second verse:

    Rev 13:1 "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a BEAST rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy."

    Oh, there is the beast! It has 7 heads and 10 horns, just like in Rev 12:3, which is like code for a great red dragon (dragon as in Rev 12:9), which has absolutely nothing to do with Assyria.

    Bob Thiel, I think you better get rid of your theory, b/c the Bible does not support your theory. See if you can prophecy with another theory...

    So, am I supposed to believe, according to falsely-so-called prophet Bob Thiel, the Beast is Assyria? Really? If I were a betting man I'd put the whole "mother-load," whatever that is, on the Beast being Satan.

    And time will tell...

  5. ", , , the whole 'mother-load," whatever that is . . . ."

    The expression is a gold-mining metaphor. A lode is a vein of gold-bearing (or other metallic) ore running through bedrock. Miners panning for gold in a mountain stream would find flakes of gold and maybe a nugget or two. What they were hoping for was to find the concentrated source, the "mother lode" those flakes were eroded from. There they would stake a claim and establish a mine.

  6. Thank you very much, retired-prof, for that professional explanation of "mother lode."

    When you read the Bible, remember to wear your BI-focals!

    Cyber attacks... and don't forget EMP attacks. As if the USA is the only country vulnerable. Oh, yes, and our Anglo-Allies.

    Even more lame than Catholic Fatima prediction propaganda!
