Introduction

This book was written for all those who have become increasingly aware that many things seem to be going terribly wrong in our modern, rapidly changing world. There seems to be an alarming rise in bad weather, destructive earthquakes, volcanic activity, solar storms, massive floods, and resultant crop failures. In general, very bad things are beginning to appear on the horizon.

Instead of world peace being ushered in, as many had hoped for, we now face the increased risk of terrorism, and rising tension between many of the world’s leading nations, which may lead to future horrific and destructive wars. We are facing the worst economic troubles we’ve seen in decades, with many now living in despair, having lost their jobs and homes. Many people are at wit’s end, having no idea what to do or where to turn for help, and most everyone senses that something very dark, ominous, and foreboding is settling over our world.

It seems at times that the whole world has gone completely mad and that it is headed straight off the tracks for a huge train wreck! This book gives an up-close and personal look at all the problems we are presently facing, and those we will most likely face in the future, and it shows that in the end there will indeed be a positive outcome. The storm clouds will clear, and the sun will come out shining brightly once again as the earth enters a new and golden age.

Our Rapidly Changing Modern World

What in the World Is Going On?

Many movies, such as 2012, Deep Impact, The Day After Tomorrow, Armageddon, and a host of others, depict end of the world scenarios, cataclysmic disasters, and earthshaking, extinction-level events. Many of these films portray the end of civilization as we know it. These movies show incredible computer enhanced footage that is very dramatic and shockingly realistic! They certainly are real attention-getters and tend to generate a very real and underlying fear and great uncertainty concerning the future of our planet.¹

To make matters even worse, much of the modern scientific research and many of the documentary films that have been made recently, seem to back these movies up in their terrifying portrayal of coming events! Many very credible scientific and historical documentaries have been presented on The History Channel, The Weather Channel, National Geographic, and other related science and educational channels, which speak of the possibility of these very same earthshaking events actually happening shortly to our world.²

Great end-time disasters, from such things as large asteroid impacts, enormous solar flare-ups, mega-earthquakes, volcanoes, extreme weather, massive floods, droughts, etc… have been predicted to strike our planet in the very near future, and many of these disastrous events have already begun to occur. Many people, including a large number of those involved in the scientific community, fear that all these things may work together to produce a horribly destructive effect upon the earth’s fragile environment, and the future of mankind’s continued survival as a living species in general.

Well, believe it or not, according to the Bible, many of these movies and television documentaries may not be too far off in their graphic portrayal of certain future events. In fact, many of these disastrous events are exactly what are predicted, or prophesied, in the Bible; and are beginning to occur even now in much greater magnitude and frequency. Certain prophetic Scriptures, written thousands of years ago, foretell in very specific detail what will happen to this planet in the very end of days.

They describe what appear to be large asteroids and even a possible comet that will impact the earth in the near future, along with great meteorite showers, and a tremendous increase in destructive earthquakes and volcanic activity. There are Scriptures that seem to describe such events as huge solar-flares coming off the sun and burning the earth, as well as a massive, earthshaking polar shift that causes near total destruction. There are even Scripture passages that seem to be describing what could only be nuclear war!

Great and intense earthquakes do seem to be dramatically on the rise all over the world. Almost on a weekly basis now, there are huge, destructive quakes being reported around the entire globe. Every time you turn on the news, you seem to hear of another new earth-shaker bringing terrible devastation somewhere.

The earth also seems to be showing signs of increased volcanic activity. Scientists are very closely monitoring many older volcanoes that have been dormant for years, but are now beginning to show signs of firing back to life with a vengeance! These are monsters, such as Anak Krakatau, and Mt. Merapi in the Pacific; the Icelandic volcano that recently went off and its big brother, Katla; South and Central American volcanoes; the Alaskan and West Coast volcanoes of North America, Hawaii, and basically, the entire Ring of Fire area. And as portrayed so dramatically in the recent movie 2012, the greatest predicted monster of them all is Yellowstone National Park in the United States, which is right now showing increasing signs of great pressure under its billowing magma dome and is swarming with quakes!³

The United States is now experiencing the worst drought, and most violent weather on record, with enormous hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, and storms that seem to be increasing in number with greater intensity and severity. Many of these storms are producing straight-line winds and microbursts that were heretofore unheard of by past generations and storms so large and powerful that they often drop dozens of huge tornadoes all at once, cutting enormous swaths through as many as a half a dozen states sometimes, destroying nearly everything in sight and completely wiping out many whole communities and small towns!⁴

The Weather Channel has many times, of late, reported that what they are seeing are some of the most violent and destructive storms and the worst flooding on record, as well as the most enormous and costly amounts of property damage and crop losses they’ve seen in decades. Many small towns and entire neighborhoods in larger cities have been literally washed away or severely damaged by floods all across the United States, some of great historical value.⁵ The greater tragedy in all of this is the irreplaceable loss of life and the lives of loved ones changed in an instant, with many now living in great despair, either homeless or living with other relatives.

The extreme drought that has hit America in this year of 2012 has been called the worst drought in the nation’s history! They say that it has now over-taken and destroyed more acreage in the United States than the dust bowl days of the 1930s, and they are calling it a flash drought, as it has spread so quickly.⁶ In one week alone in July of 2012, they said that more acreage was added to the drought area, as a whole, than all the acreage in the whole state of Montana, and they are now predicting another dust bowl!⁷

So this is a drought of incredible proportions, which may have a significant effect upon the world’s food supplies and the United States’ in particular! Food prices are already soaring to record rates.⁸ No crops at all came out of Texas or half of Oklahoma in 2011, and as of August 2012, they say that the drought has overtaken a full half of America’s croplands!⁹ They also reported, at that time, that 61 percent of the nation’s land mass was in drought conditions, with much of it considered to be in severe drought.¹⁰ To add even further to this horrible drought damage, wildfires then began to burn all across the entire western half of the United States, destroying nearly everything in their paths. At times it appeared that the entire western half of the country was on fire!¹¹

Very shortly we may begin to experience massive famines worldwide, with the possibility of life-threatening food and water shortages.¹² Simple things that we have taken for granted for decades now may become in great demand. You would be very wise right now to put back a good amount of storable food, water, medicines, toiletries, water filters; anything and everything that you can think of that you might need, in case you end up having to provide not only for yourselves but also for your family, friends, and neighbors. Others might not be as well prepared for these coming emergencies and will very possibly need your help in the near future.

There are many companies, which you can look up on the Internet, that offer supplies of this nature that will help you get through almost any emergency that may come your way. Simply do web searches on storage foods or survival supplies, or any similar title, and it should bring up a large number of companies which offer these things.

We have house insurance, health insurance, car insurance, life insurance… insurance for almost everything in our lives except the truly important essentials that people would need in an actual real emergency, such as food and water, and all the things I just previously mentioned. What is about to come upon us all, with very little advanced warning, is a time of great scarcity, even of the barest essentials and most basic needs for normal, everyday life. People who are truly looking ahead and seriously thinking about providing for their families and loved ones through this coming time, should most certainly consider contacting one of these companies and begin ordering these important supplies from them immediately.

My personal favorite, who seems to have thought of everything conceivable, is Jim Bakker.¹³ The Jim Bakker Show offers the best freeze dried foods on the market, as well as military grade water filters that take out every known disease, or pathogen, including all forms of chemical and biological agents, and even radiation poisoning. We cannot live without good, pure water, and Jim’s friends at the wonderful, forward thinking, Seychelle Water Filter Company, have produced the most advanced water filters on the market. To be able to filter out all forms of radiation poisoning, as well as any other chemical or biological agent or disease known to mankind, is truly an incredible advancement in science, and should be taken advantage of by all of us who genuinely care about our families and loved ones. You would be very wise to get all these things while you still can!

Jim offers a solar generator that will power nearly everything in your house, in case of a massive power outage, just on the sun’s power alone.¹⁴ There may not be gasoline for your gas powered generators during certain crises that may suddenly appear very shortly, and gasoline generators are among the main things on the list of items presently being stolen from people’s backyards, as they are in such great demand, due to the many unexpected power outages. This powerful solar generator sits right on your kitchen table, or near any window, safely protected inside your house. It collects all the light needed from the sun to provide power for the most necessary things that you will need; such as refrigerators, televisions, radios, and even small heaters and heated electric blankets. You just have to see this modern marvel to believe it! It even comes with a microwave oven to cook your food! This truly is an act of God, trying to prepare those who have ears to hear, as Jesus said in the days of old, for what’s coming. Quite simply, the great God of Love does not want any of His children to suffer, or go hungry. So we would all be wise to take heed and prepare accordingly.

Simply go online to: http://jimbakkershow.com/. On this site you will find everything he has to offer, along with great news and information on the latest things of importance that are happening worldwide. His show is also on certain television outlets such as Direct TV, and Angel One Satellite. Check your local listings to see if his show is on your particular carrier. Please give this some serious thought and contact them. Ask them to send you pamphlets with order forms, showing everything they have to offer, and also; please start watching his show, and other related shows regularly to stay on top of everything that is currently happening in our modern, rapidly changing world, or that may be coming our way shortly in the days ahead.

The media circus on the standard news outlets are not going to tell you what’s really going on behind the scenes, but Jim and others like him will, and they will help you prepare for the extreme earth events we are all about to encounter, including even coming wars and terrorism. He really keeps people well informed about all the major important events that are presently happening all over the world, on a daily and weekly basis.

Several other great websites that will keep you well informed are: The Rick Wiles Show at: http://www.trunews.com/, the excellent research of Tom Horn at: http://www.raidersnewsupdate.com/, and End Time Info at: http://endtimeinfo.com/. End Time Info offers the broadest range of news coverage on all the major issues that I have seen. Perhaps this is because it is based out of Europe, and therefore offers a greater range of coverage on issues that affect us all from a worldwide standpoint. It really helps to get a proper perspective on things if one is able to get good, reliable news coverage from other countries about what is going on all over the world. There are, of course, many others, and you can find links to them on these sites or simply do a web search on end-time websites to find many more.

There are many truly serious events that are happening worldwide right now, and dire warnings of impending crises yet to come, that are simply not being reported correctly or accurately on the mainstream news, if they are reported at all. These standard news outlets seem to be completely absorbed in the latest Hollywood scandal, the lives of rich, famous actors, sports stars, fashion designs, endless political blather, and other empty fluff, while the world burns around them; so it is imperative to find good, reliable news sources that you can count on to keep you and your family well informed concerning all these things that may dramatically affect us all very shortly. Many families have already suffered terrible loss of life, loved ones, homes and property, jobs and income, and the total upheaval and turning upside down of their entire lives. Will you be next?

You would be wise to have ears to hear and to prepare as best you can for whatever may strike the particular area you live in next. From what I’ve seen so far, no place on earth appears to be safe from these destructive earth-events, which seem to hit by total surprise, often bringing complete destruction and mayhem to the areas they strike.

We are now witnessing extreme weather and other horrible disasters in places that have never experienced these things before, or at least not to this degree and magnitude. These odd and out of place weather anomalies have most recently happened, not only in America, but in Europe, Russia, China, Pakistan, India, Australia, and many other countries; on a scale and magnitude not seen before in their histories.

There have been horrific mud slides that have buried whole villages in China.¹⁵ India and Pakistan have had thousands of people displaced in recent floods of monstrous proportions, with many even washed out to sea.¹⁶ The cold frozen north of Russia has seen the hottest summers on record, with huge range fires blazing completely out of control in many areas.¹⁷

Australia recently suffered from the some of the worst sand and dust storms in their history which literally blanketed Sydney, and other cities, with such thick clouds of debris that people had to stay indoors and breathe through face masks and respirators. Many photographs were taken and shown in magazines and newspapers worldwide, of the famous Sydney Opera House, barely visible, in the midst of thick, bright, red-orange clouds of sand and dust.¹⁸

Recent range fires in Australia sent thousands of giant spiders that normally live in the bush, fleeing into the cities and literally scaring the daylights out of the residents, who were already perplexed enough by having to fight the smoke and fires to keep them from destroying their homes and properties.

Most of the people in these countries say that these terrible storms and disasters are the worst that they have ever seen, or can remember in their lifetimes. As I stated before, many countries, which have heretofore been unaffected by certain types of weather, are now seeing brand new types of storms and are facing new and extremely difficult challenges from these out of the ordinary, weather-related events that they are not prepared for, and don’t have the equipment and facilities to deal with properly.

And topping them all is another great challenge that we may all face shortly, which is of global proportions! What could be coming our way in space may be the prime culprit that is actually causing this present and very obvious increase in bad weather, large destructive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, gigantic solar flares, and other potentially dangerous and life threatening earth changes and calamities; and that is the possibility of the passing of the great death star most commonly referred to as Planet X. There have been recent reports by certain astronomers and researchers that it has been discovered and is being carefully tracked and monitored, and appears to be heading very rapidly toward the earth, sun, and inner planets of our solar system.

Others believe that these calamities are possibly being caused by great geomagnetic forces exerted on the earth by certain planetary alignments, or other powerful, yet unknown forces in the universe which we have not yet discovered. After all the research I’ve done so far on Planet X, however, I am becoming more and more convinced that this may indeed be the cause of the record increase in all these anomalies, and hopefully, from the evidence I present here, you will see why.

Planet X was first given that particular name by the late astronomer Percival Lowell, who made it a major part of his life’s work to find this mysterious object back in the early 1900’s.¹⁹ He was one of the greatest astronomers of the time. It was first thought to exist when earlier astronomers discovered that some really large astral body was disrupting and affecting the outer planets of Uranus and Neptune, causing wild perturbations in their orbits.

They knew it had to be something big, because these outer planets are really large gas giants, and it would take something of great density and field gravitation, as well as great geomagnetic force, to make these huge planets move out of their orbits and behave so oddly, so the search was on! It became one of the mysteries of the universe, in those days, and much time was spent in research, study, theorizing, and mainly hunting for whatever the cause of this great anomaly was, in the field of Astronomy.

It was a considered to be something that was an object of serious research at the time, and not some ridiculous notion put forth by conspiracy theorists, or wild eyed lunatics, as they portray it today when the subject is brought up. Many astronomers and scientists of the day were deeply involved in trying to find this mysterious object and to discover just exactly what it was, where it was at, and most importantly; where it was headed. These were men of great reputation, so the attitude that the general public had toward the possible existence of this thing back then was far different than what it is now, as most people now days have been influenced by the modern scientists and astrophysicists to think that it’s just a giant hoax.

Mr. Lowell searched and searched for it with the finest telescopes of the time, from 1905 to 1915, and could not find it; because, as it turns out, it is actually said to be a low-light, yet high-density, small star that is actually collapsing on itself, and therefore gives off a very low light and heat signature. Therefore, it cannot be seen with regular telescopes, but requires the advanced technology of the new infrared telescopes that can pick up even the faintest glow of low light and heat signatures from objects in space.

Then in 1983 it was actually discovered and spotted by one of the first space-based infrared telescopes they had invented at the time, called IRAS, which was launched into space to be used to view and pick up these stellar objects which are so hard to detect.²⁰ Some scientists at the time said that they just simply pointed it in the general direction of where they thought this infamous, giant planetoid might be, and there it was, literally sticking out like a sore thumb!

Images of it were put in U.S. News and World Report Magazine, and an article in The Washington Post,²¹ as well as other scientific journals and writings of the day.²² It was considered to be one of the greatest discoveries in the field of Astronomy at that time, and they were quite proud that they had finally found this astral monster, which had been so hard to detect, and had puzzled so many of the world’s leading astronomers for such a long time. At first, they were very free with the information forthcoming on it, and all the details surrounding it.

Orbital charts of its predicted path of travel and theories about just what it was, or might be, began to abound and to be put out by the scientific community; until they discovered that it seemed to be headed in the general direction of the earth, and might cause terrible destruction if it made a close pass by our planet in its lengthy orbit. The initial estimates given for its passing were: 2003, 2012, and even as far out as 2021.

Then it seems that a gag order was placed on all this information by the higher ups, as they realized that this was all quite frightening to the general public, and might cause worldwide panic, throwing the entire population of the earth into total fear and shock. It was talked about a bit again in the 90’s, but then NASA began to officially deny its existence, and to make it look like anyone who believed in it was a conspiracy nut, or some deranged person, who claimed to be channeling messages from celestial beings living on a faraway planet!

Now, when you try to find honest information about it on the internet, there are dozens of sites that pop up defending the belief in its existence, which look like they were made by complete lunatics, just to make people think that anyone who believes in it is a nut case; and also many official looking sites, which speak in very scientific terms, denying its existence, and mocking the people who put forth evidence to the contrary. But if you dig around a bit, you will also find some of the older information on it from the original NASA scientists and astrophysicists who had first begun to observe and monitor it back in the early 1980’s, and 90’s, including people from The United States Naval Observatory.²³

What really makes me think that Planet X may very possibly be real, and heading our way from space, is the often rude manner in which these other websites debunk it; especially the official Government websites, and their well respected, high profile scientists, and astrophysicists. They really bad-mouth the people and other scientists who believe in it and claim to have discovered it and are monitoring it. They attack both the messenger and the message, and often go after them with a vengeance, with character assassination and debunking of their credentials.

Those of us who are old enough to have seen this trick pulled on people who go against the status quo, on any major issue, can easily see what they are up to, and it is a pretty good indicator that where there’s smoke, there’s fire! The people in question must really be on to something, or they wouldn’t be being harassed and ridiculed, with their lives’ works and research laughed at so loudly and mocked in such a fashion.

I am reminded of the old Shakespearian saying, Me thinks thou dost protest too much! A true scientist is supposed to be a rational minded man or woman who speaks in a kind or at least moderate tone, and never gets angry to the point of speaking against another scientist, or major researcher so negatively, trying to portray them in such a bad light as a charlatan, and laughing at the mention of Planet X as if it is something that is totally ridiculous to believe in.

That is very childish, and also a dead giveaway that these people are hiding something or trying desperately to cover it up, but this is how many of the scientific debunkers of Planet X speak of the people who not only believe in it, but are bringing forth real scientific evidence of its existence. It shows plainly, to anyone that has been around long enough to see this type of behavior used by individuals who are trying to deliberately cover something up, that this may be, indeed, what is happening here regarding this whole Planet X scenario.

It’s like when television reporters refer to the people they are interviewing, who think the Government may very possibly be hiding something from us all, as Conspiracy Nuts, and begin to laugh, as they interview them on the air, as if these people are totally stupid. Because of the authority they carry in their positions as newscasters and reporters, people automatically believe them like Pavlov’s dogs, and immediately form the desired response of thinking that the person in question is either an absolute lunatic, or at least mildly deranged! This is the exact same tactic that the scientists who debunk the belief in Planet X are using.

They’ve used this trick for years to hide many things from the general public which they do not want them to know or to become aware of. I think that this is exactly what is happening with the whole Planet X theory, and field of study. An honest scientist would be much more polite and merely present the opposing view without all the mockery and drama.

But I would like to point out something very important here that is being completely overlooked in all this blather, and bad-mouthing of the belief in Planet X, and that is, quite simply: if it doesn’t exist, then just what exactly -is- causing these perturbations in the large, outer planets of our solar system and affecting their orbits so noticeably? Right there is the real proof that some large, celestial object, which has great gravitational pull, is out there.

Please remember that this affecting of the orbits of these large outer planets is what initially caused the early astronomers, and later men like Percival Lowell, to think that something really big was out there causing this phenomenon, and as a result many of them devoted a large part of their life’s work to trying to find this mysterious object!

Conspiracy nuts and wackos, as Planet X believers are made out to be on the internet, and on television, did not start this theory in the first place; the leading astronomers and scientists of the time did; the most brilliant minds in the field of Astronomy of that day and age did. Many of the greatest astronomers of the last couple of hundred years, since the discovery of the planets Uranus and Neptune are the ones who came up with this theory.

So if nothing is out there, then why is this still happening? None of these brilliant minds among the enormous number of bad-mouthers and debunkers of the Planet X theory, who are trying so hard to make the people who believe in it look like fools, have bothered try to explain this phenomenon or to even bring the subject up; because it very obviously proves that something really big must, indeed, be out there which is causing it! What else could it be other than a large planetoid or small star, as some think? It has to be something that has great density, field gravitation, and geomagnetic force to cause these large outer planets to move around out of place like they do. So that right there proves to me that there is some sort of cover up going on, which is what most of the people who believe in Planet X think.

Clyde Tombaugh was one of the leading astronomers of the last century. On February 18, 1930 he thought he had finally found this mysterious planetoid when he discovered the planet Pluto in the general area they were all looking for Planet X in, but after the calculations were done, it became
