Corona Virus Delays Negotiations to Prevent
an Imminent Nuclear War!
March 19, 2022
Could Ukraine be the site of what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah during the time of Abraham and Lot? (Genesis 19:23-28):
“23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord:
28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.”
But Sodom and Gomorrah was so evil and sinful that the Lord out of heaven destroyed the city in a flash of fire. Not in the case of Ukraine, although it might have its share of evil today.
I’m thinking more of the known sin cities like Las Vegas. Thailand had already its share of punishment but with water; it took the greatest brunt of the devastating tsunami years ago.
If it’s Ukraine, who is this “Lord out of heaven” that rained fire on it? Is this the same Lord that devastated the city of Lot? Conspiracy theorists say it’s the same because this Lord out of heaven has always been with us.
If it’s not the same Lord, then, is what’s happening now between Russia and Ukraine just a prelude of something worse to come? If so, where will it happen? Europe which is now the target of intrusion? Or some other sin cities?
Those trying to Lord power over the globe are certain that a nuclear blast is inevitable. This is the only way it can be done, to show the might of its nuclear arsenal in order to achieve world peace. If it still does not intimidate other nations then release and deliver this brimstone and fire to them before they get the upper hand.
It’s just now a matter of which country will first push the nuclear button. To avoid this impending catastrophe, the United Nations have tried very hard in the past to convene its members for a conference.
But somebody had pushed the coronavirus button, delaying further the talks on global peace and stability.
For example, the United Nations officials postponed the following meetings of the 10th Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference:
(1) April 2020
(2) October 2020
(3) August 2021
(4) January 2022
The NPT member states set a new target date for some time between August and September 2022.
The Russian-Ukraine war now may again postpone this intended date. Or it can already mark the beginning of a series of nuclear exchanges to come.
Even if the intended nuclear summit meeting will push through, many still doubt of its success. Unless the Lord out of heaven intercedes, the people will not be spared of an impending doom.
But the Lord’s Second Coming is only known by his Father. We can only pray and invoke for miracles, which are very rare nowadays.
In the meantime , here are some facts about the power of nuclear explosion:
1. The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima (15 kilotons) and Nagasaki (20 kilotons)—codenamed "Little Boy" and "Fat Man," respectively—leveled cities and killed an estimated 70,000 people instantly with many more dying in the following years from the effects of radiation.
2. At the start of 2020, nine countries -- the US, Russia, UK, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea -- possessed approximately 13,400 nuclear weapons, of which 3,720 were deployed with operational forces.
3. The most powerful nuclear weapon in the current US arsenal is the B83 aircraft bomb, which has a maximum yield of 1.2 megatons (1,200 kilotons). And new types of nuclear weapons continue to be produced around the world.
Public Disclosure Status
Organizations monitoring or regulating information about nuclear weapons include:
(1) the Geneva-based Conference on Disarmament (CD),
(2) the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, and
(3) the Weapons of Mass Destruction program for the UN Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDR).
They have been engaged in a constant battle with states to disclose fully the weapons they possess, but to no avail.
The USA has disclosed important information about its stockpile and nuclear capabilities, but the Trump administration in 2019 stopped the practice of disclosing the size of its stockpile.
The UK and France have also declared only some information. Russia refuses to publicly disclose the detailed breakdown of its forces.
China publicly displays its nuclear forces more frequently than in the past, but it releases little information about force numbers or future development plans.
The governments of India and Pakistan make statements about some of their missile tests but provide no information about their arsenals' status or size.
North Korea has acknowledged conducting nuclear weapon and missile tests but provides no information about its nuclear weapon capabilities. Israel has a long-standing policy of not commenting on its nuclear arsenal.
Can we still prevent nuclear wars? I’ll leave this question to the readers to answer. Whatever it is, nuclear war is imminent. It is only a matter of time.
Despite their good intentions, it seems our leaders are instead fueling the tensions of a nuclear war. Prices of commodities skyrocketed triggered by the increase in the demand for gas and armaments.
No one nation can prevent a nuclear war. The USA or Russia cannot do it by themselves alone. We need the cooperation of all the other countries of the world to dismantle and prevent nuclear wars.
But could this collaborative endeavor happen at all? Will it happen during our lifetime? And who will take the role of Abraham and Lot to negotiate with the Lords of power?
I feel hopeless. I can only imagine myself riding in my spaceship, pointing in space, exclaiming:
"Lo and behold, it was in that particular area in the galaxy that Planet Earth lies, my legendary home, once bluish, so peaceful and calm, a wonderful habitat for the human race, in fact the most beautiful celestial object of the universe, and a marvelous structure gracefully floating in space. But it is now glowing fiery red and totally bare."
A grim scenario that I pray will not happen at all. Yet, for our prayers to be effective, we need to stop transgressing each other and our environment.
I can only imagine the damage that will be done and the legacy the devastating nuclear wars will cause to humanity and to Planet Earth. Even now during this pandemic, the world that I used to know no longer exists.
Say no to nuclear weapons. But if it cannot really be avoided, may God bless our souls.
Rethinking the Cosmic in Global Pandemic
Paul J. Dejillas, Ph.D. – December 6, 2021
Occupying the headlines during the past two years are extreme climate changes, population explosion, violations of the international law of the sea, the fatal effects of 5G technology, and the COVID-19 virus that is now emerging as the rebirth of the bubonic plague.
All these have not only dislocated us physically, mentally, and psychically, but also spiritually. These global concerns have created an alarming impact, especially the poor and elderly sectors of our society.
Until now, the solutions have remained so elusive. People continue to live in fear and many are lost. Conditions continue to worsen as the days go by. We have not yet flattened the curve and no governments, no scientists, no religion have yet been able to come up with a sure cure so far, except for some promises that their search for it might be nearing soon. We are still being experimented upon.
What a frightening predicament we are in today. It’s a race between science and religion. Whoever does it first will certainly be regarded as a hero and savior by the people. In the meantime, we can only wish the best for each other, which I know is unwarranted optimism.
The number of Covid-19 cases daily pales in comparison to the helplessness and inability of our political leaders to ensure the safety and welfare of their people.
While the resolution of a full-blown war on an invisible enemy is nowhere in sight, we are all left alone to fend for ourselves, while resigning to the fact that, alone, we cannot really change the conditions around us.
The Cosmos has given us a model of how Nature operates. But many of us today are ignoring or taking this model for granted. Let us take the case of the flower-and-the-honeybees parable.
In the honeybee colony, Her Majesty, the Queen, reigns Supreme. But she is a Benevolent Ruler whose commands must be obeyed by her offspring in her Royal Colony. Her words are royal pronouncements and decrees. But her only decree to her Colony is not to produce and nourish another queen for she is a very protective and caring Matriarch.
The Queen establishes a system of government in which all the members of her colony directly participate in running the beehive. Each family member has its respective job description set from the very beginning. In the actual management, each one is a leader unto itself, unsupervised and unguided by the Ruling Monarch. Freedom of choice in the execution of one’s task and responsibilities in the animal world is innate and inborn.
Decisions had to be made quick from moment to moment: where to get food, which flowers have to be visited, who will gather those food, how to produce honey from the raw nectar, who will produce them, how are they to be allocated. And they have the intelligence to know everything there is to know about the outside world. Information was available to all.
While syphoning the nectar, the honeybees do not leave the flowers impoverished. For, at the same time, they also collect pollen that in turn pollinate other flowers as they hop to gather nectar from one flower to another. In the process, flowers got pollinated that enable them to produce fruits and other crops for our sustenance, in the same manner that honeybees are able to produce surplus honey that is able to feed not only the members of the colony, but us as well.
An average of 40,000 honeybees comprise a typical colony that is perched at the top of a tree to get a good GPS of the entire landscape and locate exactly where the flowers are. Hundreds and thousands of bees go out of and back to the colony at least a hundred times daily and visiting as many number of flowers per day. They have to be dispersed in several locations all at once in a shotgun approach, rather than be together in one location.
Hanging precariously on a branch of a tree, it is ready to collapse when the family population becomes so huge, with the Queen laying around 2,000 eggs to maintain her family’s work force. Daily, they have to be ready to go somewhere else in case of natural calamities, build another colony before everybody vanishes.
Anytime the Queen is incapacitated for whatever reasons, they have to be ready with a new Queen. For without the Queen, the family-colony would just gradually disappear, with the honeybees hurled violently outside travelling through distant places, looking for another Queen to stay with. But even before this eventuality happens, the honeybees seem to know already who the next Queen will be.
In all this, everybody knows where to go and what to do, unwatched and unsupervised by the Queen. Today we call this “animal instinct” often used pejoratively when applied to humans as the term connotes a bunch of morons, imbeciles, and idiots doing their thing without thinking. Worse, we are killing all non-human species with our pesticides and chemicals.
Nature had it all prepared. But we want it our way, wherever we want it, whenever we want it, and however we want it. And we never learn or refuse to learn from Nature. We never learn that there is always a time and reason for everything.
Full-On War on an Invisible Enemy
Paul J. Dejillas, Ph.D. – October 21, 2021
We are living at a time when we are surrounded by a Corona of death and its cumulative effect is now taking its heavy toll on us. We have not yet flattened the curve and no governments, no scientists, no religion have yet been able to come up with a sure cure so far, except for some empty promises and false hopes.
And the conditions are worsening as days go by. We are still being experimented. The number of people infected by the Coronavirus daily continues to increase by the millions, aggravated by the helplessness and inability of our political leaders to respond effectively to the safety and welfare of the people.
What a frightening predicament we are in today. Expecting the worst that may happen to us anytime, anywhere is not extreme pessimism. The statistics are terrifyingly staggering.
The end of a full-on war on an invisible enemy, including the other global pandemic that are mercilessly killing us softly, is still nowhere in sight, and we are all left on our own devices to fend for ourselves, while at the same time, resigning to the fact that, alone, we cannot really change the conditions around us.
Here's wishing you for the best.
Who is Orchestrating the Whole Thing?
Paul J. Dejillas, Ph.D. – July 20, 2021
My suspicions deepen. With so many things going on nowadays, I feel someone must be really orchestrating all the events happening in the world today. I just don't know if this someone is God or some humans. It all started on April 4, 2020 after it was announced by WHO that COVID-19 has gone pandemic and endemic. But the real and original issue before that was the much-beleaguered 5-G technology.
Everything is Connected
Paul J. Dejillas, Ph.D. – January 8, 2021
For the last two years now, I've been having this uncanny feeling. Something is going bad and it is getting worse by the day. It seems that the events that have been and are still unfolding, are connected and orchestrated.
But the interconnection and orchestration of events do not give us an appreciation of the big picture. The baffling side is that things happening in one country don't just stay there. They get exported immediately into other countries and the entire world. In physics, we know that when there's a cause, there's an effect but we seldom know that the effect is far more deadly and devastating than the cause.
1. Remember the reason why Huawei was banned completely in some countries? It causes radiation poisoning that damages our cells. Toxicities accumulate in our body over time causing a weakening of our immune system and defense mechanisms, and could trigger strains of viruses to thrive within us.
2. Remember also the AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology that is making robots like Sophia more human than many of us? Now, androids can dance, walk, answer questions, and fight. Even science fear the day when we can no longer distinguish a real human person on the one hand and trolls, memes, and bots on the other.
3. Microchips are now implanted to many individuals that can be detected and read by any swiping machine. But these have more features. They encode your bank accounts, your spending habits, family history, your friends and enemies, your religion, race, political affiliation, your DNA structure, ancestors. It's predicted that by 2030 all of us will be carrying these microchips under our skin.
4. They have been reengineering our DNA for decades now that it's possible for parents to design the kind of child they want to have--high IQ, 6 feet tall, athletic built, coca cola body, beautiful, blue eyes, blonde hair, long nose, fair skinned, forever young, immune to sickness. They can even have a child who is an exact copy of there favorite actors or actresses. What if all mothers want their children to be Albert Einstein but a bit handsomer and 6 ft. tall?
5. Then, COVID-19 exploded when 5-G was successfully silenced. And, as if out of nowhere, instant COVID-19 vaccinations emerged competing with each other to capture the global multi-billion dollar market.
6. Then, the International Law of the Sea dispute in the Philippine Sea erupted. Every nation has an interest in the area, causing some deadly skirmishes. Now, everybody is making their military presence there. Nuclear bombs are becoming more powerful and handy and are even being freely carried by anybody right now as you read this.
7. Add to this are the deep economic recession worldwide, extreme climate change, natural disasters, industrial disruptions, ballooning population, depleting resources, intensifying unemployment, panic buying, debilitating fear, paranoia, mental illnesses, failure of leadership and management, intensifying chaos and disorder.
I have this strong feeling that these are all connected. Who must have engineered all this? Are they machinations perpetrated by a few powerful elite who are conspiring with each other to continually control and enslave us?
Or, are all these events heaven-sent as a curse from God because of what we have done to our world since we came down from the trees and became permanently non-arboreal millions of years ago?
Just asking timely questions.
We have reached a crossroad where humanity has to choose between creation and destruction. Our individual decision will depend largely on how the unfolding events will affect us personally this new calendar year 2021.
