Back in 27 Oct 2009, the following news report was
published:
An asteroid that exploded in the
Earth's
atmosphere with the energy of three Hiroshima bombs this month has
reignited fears about our planet's defences against space impacts.
On 8 October, the rock crashed into the
atmosphere above South
Sulawesi, Indonesia. The blast was heard by monitoring stations 10,000
miles away, according to a report by scientists at the University of
Western Ontario. The
asteroid was around 20 meters across and hit the Earth'satmosphere at
45,000 mph
Scientists are concerned that it
was not spotted by any
telescopes,
and that had it been larger it could have caused a disaster.
The asteroid, estimated to have been
around 10 metres (30ft)
across, hit the atmosphere at an estimated 45,000 mph. The sudden
deceleration caused it to heat up rapidly and explode with the
force of 50,000 tons of TNT.
Luckily, due to the height of the
explosion – estimated at between
15
and 20 km (nine to 12 miles) above sea level – no damage was caused on
the ground.
However, if the object had been
slightly larger – 20 to 30
metres
(60 to 30 ft) across – it could easily have caused extensive damage and
loss of life, say researchers.
The
M+G+R Foundation Comments
We find quite interesting the fact that we had not
heard/seen/viewed anything about this event nineteen days after it had
occurred. Through
the
courtesy of a collaborator in the Philippines we finally became aware
of it.
We tried to find out what was the earthquake and tsunami situation on
October 8, 2009, but could not find any news available. However, since
we receive and file official government notices on all
earthquake and tsunami events, we
looked at the October 8 entries and found out that it was on that day
that we received the most notifications from that part of the
world.
What choices one has when faced with this astronomical Russian roulette
situation? Place one's trust in our know-it-all scientists or trust in
Almighty God?
miguel de Portugal, a scientist, made that decision 24 years before the
above described event: In
God we trust and all others must pay in cash - as the saying goes.
Why? As a scientist miguel is painfully aware of the incredible
limitations of the scientists' knowledge and the great capacity to
smoke-screen such limitation with many words and very few facts. As a gofer
for God, miguel is
absolutely sure of the
limitless power and wisdom of God and His unlimited love for His
children.
If God wants miguel to be vaporized by an asteroid or comet - so be
it. God certainly knows what is best for miguel. If He doesn't want it
to happen, not even a direct hit will hurt miguel and we have the
Miracle at Hiroshima to confirm it.
There was a home eight blocks (about
1 kilometer) from where the A-Bomb went off in Hiroshima Japan. This
home had a church attached to it which was completely destroyed, but
the home survived, and so did the eight German Jesuit missionaries who
prayed the rosary in that house faithfully every day. These men
were missionaries to the Japanese people, they were non-military, but
because Germany and Japan were allies during WWII they were permitted
to live and minister within Japan during the war.
Not only did
they all survive with (at most) relatively minor injuries, but they all
lived well past that awful day with no radiation sickness, no loss of
hearing, or any other visible long term defects or maladies.
Naturally, they were interviewed numerous times (Fr. Schiffer, a
survivor, said over 200 times) by scientists and health care people
about their remarkable experience and they say "we believe that we
survived because we were living the message of Fatima. (2)
It really is that simple!
So, what will your choice be?
