At Little Preemptive Prophecy Ahead of Ida to Help Bob Thiel Out: " Wet weather is sometimes used by God for judgment and correction."


Ba'al the Canaanite God of Storms Pre-YHVH



BEAST IDA
'RAPID INTENSIFICATION'

I know that Bob Thiel is probably very busy with Holy Day and FOT prep so with Hurricane Ida approaching  and soon hitting the Gulf Coast tomorrow, thought I'd go ahead and write his post prophetic observations ahead of time. To save time and prophetic peepings and mutterings  I just cut and pasted his past article on the Bronze Age Prophetic Weather God endeavoring to get our attention a few Hurricanes ago. 



September 8, 2017  (August 28, 2021)


Hurricane Irma (Ida) continued its deadly and destructive path through the Caribbean on Friday morning, and is still on track to slam into Miami this weekend.

The storm, which went from a Category 5 to a 4, remained powerful, with winds of 150 mph, according to an 8 a.m. ET National Hurricane Center bulletin. Irma was about 80 miles northeast of Cabo Lucrecia, Cuba, and 450 miles southeast of Miami.

Irma (Ida) grazed the Turks & Caicos Islands earlier Friday as it swept toward the southeastern Bahamas — promising more devastation after flattening homes and cutting power to a string of Caribbean islands and killing at least 12 people. …

It hit Puerto Rico with a glancing blow late Wednesday, killing at least three people, after battering the islands of Barbuda, St. Bart and St. Martin.

Thousands of people were left homeless in French-controlled St. Martin, where four people were reported dead and thousands more were left homeless after Irma demolished 95 percent of buildings on the island. One death was reported on the Dutch side of the island. Another death was reported on the island of Barbuda.

Video obtained by NASA had the eye of Irma, the most powerful Atlantic hurricane on record, passing just to the north of the Dominican Republic on Thursday (Sunday) morning. https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/hurricane-irma/hurricane-irma-has-miami-its-sights-after-cutting-deadly-swath-n799476

Notice that Irma (Ida) is “the most powerful Atlantic hurricane on record.” Those who do not think things are changing are deluding themselves.

And it is not just Hurricane Irma that is a threat. The following from the US government show Irma, plus two other hurricanes, Jose and Katia, coming:



Plus there still is flooding and other problems associated with Hurricane Harvey.



There are also many affected by typhoons in Asia. Also, Southern China has been seeing more typhoons than usual this year.

Weather changes help show us that the world can quickly and dramatically change.

While many humans often seem to think otherwise, God is in charge and controls the weather:
(Note: There is a modern day reason for that Bob) 


7 Praise the Lord from the earth,
You great sea creatures and all the depths;
8 Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, fulfilling His word; (Psalms 148:7-8)

26 “Behold, God is great, and we do not know Him; Nor can the number of His years be discovered. 27 For He draws up drops of water, Which distill as rain from the mist, 28 Which the clouds drop down And pour abundantly on man. 29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds, The thunder from His canopy? 30 Look, He scatters His light upon it, And covers the depths of the sea. 31 For by these He judges the peoples; He gives food in abundance. 32 He covers His hands with lightning, And commands it to strike. 33 His thunder declares it, The cattle also, concerning the rising storm. (Job 36:26-33)

25 For He commands and raises the stormy wind,Which lifts up the waves of the sea. 26 They mount up to the heavens, They go down again to the depths;Their soul melts because of trouble. 27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits’ end. 28 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble, And He brings them out of their distresses. 29 He calms the storm,So that its waves are still. 30 Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven. 31 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! 32 Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, And praise Him in the company of the elders. 33 He turns rivers into a wilderness, And the watersprings into dry ground; 34 A fruitful land into barrenness, For the wickedness of those who dwell in it. 35 He turns a wilderness into pools of water, And dry land into watersprings. 36 There He makes the hungry dwell, That they may establish a city for a dwelling place, 37 And sow fields and plant vineyards, That they may yield a fruitful harvest. 38 He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly; And He does not let their cattle decrease. (Psalms 107:25-38)

17 He casts out His hail like morsels;
Who can stand before His cold?
18 He sends out His word and melts them;
He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow. (Psalms 147:17-18)

3 He sends it forth under the whole heaven, His lightning to the ends of the earth. 4 After it a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrain them when His voice is heard. 5 God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend. 6 For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’; Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength. 7 He seals the hand of every man, That all men may know His work. 8 The beasts go into dens, And remain in their lairs. 9 From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind, And cold from the scattering winds of the north. 10 By the breath of God ice is given, And the broad waters are frozen. 11 Also with moisture He saturates the thick clouds; He scatters His bright clouds. 12 And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance, That they may do whatever He commands them On the face of the whole earth. 13 He causes it to come, Whether for correction, Or for His land, Or for mercy. (Job 37:3-13)

God controls the weather. Wet weather is sometimes used by God for judgment and correction."

Note:  Not to mention dry, hot, cold, windy, twirly and humid weather.... But only sometimes.  Anything less than a Cat 3 hurricane is just luck of the draw. Cat 3 to 5 is definitely God "trying to tell us something"

  1. Oh no, we have a dangerous problem coming up, and I don’t know how Dennis will be able to handle it.
    It appears that Dennis has decided to become the Bob Thiel prophet clone! That portends a major catastrophe for Dennis and the Banned site.
    Just think of the ramifications. What if Dennis’ filler in prophecy comes to pass? This would really upset the whole Inquisitors’ apple cart here. Dennis would have to backslide in his atheist religion and faith, AND return to being the resident minister for the wcg splinters, and become the replacement prophet for Bob T. The Inquisitors here would have to start attacking Dennis full on, Bob T. could retire, and this whole site begin to have answered prayers, miraculous healings, and tremendous growth in faith and belief. Just think of it!

    Common folks, really… can you afford to let that happen to a site like this?
    (Note: Disclaimer. This formal documentary of a future crisis on the Banned by HWA, when it has to Ban its favorite resident Inquisitor from this Banned site, is a satirical effort to dis-entertain the entertainment efforts of the musical Banned Banned Me for Pulling Off Real Prophecy When I Was Only Kidding, starring Dennis D. and the entire cast of WCG splinter groups.

  2. You got it! Bob's articles are sometimes reposts of earlier ones, and sometimes he forgets to change dates and other details.
    Does he count such bad news as preaching the Good News, or as "feeding the flock", which are supposedly the two primary aspects of a COG's "work"?

    Thiel's a man who leads a life of danger
    Every day he gets stranger and stranger
    With every prediction he makes
    Another chance he takes
    Odds are he'll be wrong again tomorrow...

    Not -Ordained Prophet Man
    Almost- Arrested Prophet Man
    You are sounding ever dumber, playing your silly game

    Thiel is off base is what you find
    Being off base shows an un-sound mind
    Oh, be careful what you say
    Or you'll give yourself away
    Odds are you'll be wrong again tomorrow...

  4. There have ALWAYS been hurricanes and viruses. There is NOTHING unusual about the weather or the "covid" flu virus except for the paranoid, irrational unscientific reaction to them. But fools who just read headlines and don't do research will never clue in to the true facts.

    What the hell did I just read??? What a train wreck. It's no wonder your bog went defunct. No one ever stopped to read it, now we know why!

  6. Calamitous weather conditions have been with us since the beginning of time. What has changed over the last century has been communication and the ready reporting of weather and its consequences. Bringing disaster into our living rooms when in the past we had no inkling of such events. Such is the reality of living on this planet. That all said and done, Bob Thiel is no prophet for Christ Himself said the prophets were until John. So why need Bob?

    What you just read is what I wanted you to read. You just responded as I believed you would — no humor whatsoever. Oh, I’ve never had a BOG, can’t you spell?

    By the way, if no one ever stopped to read my blog, why were you reading it?

    And, if you are so happy it’s not available right now why are you complaining about?

  9. I can tell from his prophetic news updates he is just waiting for the results of hurricane Ida to come in today before reminding everyone what it all means and he foretold it.

  10. Right on cue Petry reacted just the way I thought he would. Self righteous and condescending. So predictable.

  11. Anon 800 noted communication and the ready reporting

    GTA would say that was the critics' response to his analysis of world news in light of Bible prophecy...
    With weather, we are now more informed, and the technology and understanding of meteorology have increased greatly. The increase in hurricane intensity, carbon dioxide levels, sea level changes, etc, can be more accurately analyzed and better presented. A hurricane that diverted from Jekyll Island FOT site in the 1960s "couldn't be explained by scientists" but now, as a case study, can be explained.
    But there hasn't been much change between GTA's days and Bob with relating prophetic verses to news events. Ready reporting? I agree with Anon 621.

  12. Cogwriter wrote "God controls the weather."

    If I interpret this correctly, the foundational idea here is that if any great and tragic weather event befalls the USA, it is the wrath of God on errant "Israel." So when you see destruction from a horrible storm, you are led automatically to think "This is God - this is what he does."

    This theodicy is a convenient companion piece to an agenda of end time prophecy. It permits every untoward event to be interpreted as a sure sign of the imminent Parousia. But this theodicy is not the only credible theodicy. In my view, I believe this is a highly misleading and fringe theodicy that casts God gratuitously in the role of the "heavy."

    Pauline theodicy focuses on thrones, principalities and powers as the source of sorrows in this "present evil world." It is these "rudiments of the world" that Jesus overthrew in his sacrifice. They have been dethroned but not yet rendered inoperative in this time of "already but not yet."

    The sophomoric argument is that God is ultimately responsible for everything including the evil in the world, hence, the simplistic statement "God controls the weather" sounds conclusive. This is an oversimplification - rhetoric for effect. If you give your son a task to perform and he misses the mark, is this not a complex scenario that requires careful analysis and not just blithe attribution of blame? God delegates. God plans. God purposes. God gives some freedom of action. God grants the dignity of causality to his created beings. Then, over the long run and after all the experience, God fixes it.

    I am not asserting that devastation and loss of life is somehow an abstract philosophical exercise and is not concretely and horribly tragic. Christians, too, lose loved ones in hurricanes and this cannot be diminished. We live in a big evil system and humanity contributes to it. Yet we must remember the eschaton. Tragedy is not the face of God but the ending of tragedy is.

    Your last sentence explains clearly one of the main reasons for prophecy, to show how Yah will end this tragedy caused by unrepentant human beings.

    By the way, Ezekiel gives 64 reasons the Father uses prophecy in His plan.

  14. It's funny how Bob's spin on the weather and the geopolitical liberal narrative on global warming is practically the same. Every earthquake, every hurricane and drought are the worst ever and life as we know it is over! We know why Bob does it but why the politicians? Perhaps because global problems (global warming, global pandemics) demand global solutions, which obviously requires global world government. Wait a minute... Isn't that Bob's spin? Bob, you're being counterfeited!!

    Wait, wait, 6:41. We should give everyone the benefit of the doubt and assume they mean well, no matter what.

    That is why I believe Bob Petry is not really an arrogant pseudo-intellectual. He only acts like one.

    Finally, someone figured it out. This is what happens when one follows the Bible admonition “Answer a fool according to his folly.”

    However the rest of the admonition is to be “careful, lest you become like him.”

    Thanks Prof. Now I can go back to being the really nice guy I am. Boy, what a relief.
