Learn about the seals, trumpets, demonology, angels and the advancement of God's people during the time of the end..Daniel 8:17.
Wed, Jun 11th - 3:30PM
An Explanation of The First Trumpet
</div><div><p style="text-align: left;"> Revelation 8</p></div><div><p style="text-align: left;">The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer</p></div><div><p style="text-align: left;">8 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne, 4 and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. 5 Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings,[a] flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.</p></div><div><p style="text-align: left;">The Seven #Trumpets</p></div><div><p style="text-align: left;">6 Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.</p></div><div><p style="text-align: left;">7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.</p></div> <BR><BR> <A HREF=http://members.christiansunite.com/blog.cgi?action=viewcomment&monthyear=Jun_2014&postid=9980479763007&userid=9970479735934>Comment</A> (0) <P><TABLE CLASS="DataColumn" STYLE="width: 98%;" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 BORDER=0 width=100%><TR><TD height=1 width=100%></td></tr></table></P> </TD> </TR><TR> <TD> <h3>Wed, Jun 11th - 9:24AM</h3> <h3>The Gates of Hell Are Opening in Mexico City</h3><BR><BR> <p><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;">Today we're going to discussing how the "power of death" is manifesting over certain regions of the globe, and I'm going to be giving you a word I received last night about #Mexico City.

It was established in the 1950s with a number of other similar institutions in order to help regulate retail commerce in the city. This market has specialized in a variety of merchandise such as pottery, party items, and live animals — and the two which make it notable, herbal medicine and items related to magic and the #occult.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;">Medicinal herbs and magical items[edit]</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;">Items related to Santa Muerte and others.<br />What makes this market different and famous are the aisles dedicated to medicinal plants, magic and the occult, which are only two located in the back of the large nave.[1][8] This part of the market attracts customers from most socioeconomic levels,[9] as well as tourists.[3] as it is promoted in various guide books.[10][11][3] The two types of products, herbal medicines and magical/occult items, are not completely separate, as for centuries traditional Mexican herbal medicine has been strongly linked with religious and magic practices.[1] The variety of medicinal plants sold is vast and include avocado leaves for inflammations, chiranthodendron for the heart, jacaranda flowers for the stomach and more. There is also dried rattlesnake, which is considered a medicine against cancer, dried skunk to “strengthen the blood,” and starfish.[1] Plant items more strongly associated with magic and religion include crosses of ocote wood for good luck, chains of garlic to ward off evil and a seed called "deer's eye" to protect against the “evil eye.”[1]</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;">The market sells occult items related to magic (white and black), pre-Hispanic religious and magical traditions, Santería, the cult of Santa Muerte, shamanism, and various others which demonstrate the syncretism of beliefs and practices that exist in the city.[3][1] The market is one of the city’s centers for practices related to Santería and the worship of Santa Muerte. It is estimated that 2,000 people each weekend come to the market specifically for this section of the market.[12] Items for sale include amulets, horseshoes, candles in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and colors, with many of the colors have very specific functions, gold dust, black salt, powders of unknown ingredients, water of Saint Ignatius[disambiguation needed]-to ward off unwanted attention, aromatic lotions and soaps, many of which are related to love spells and more.[1]</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;">The most popular items are those related to love. There are candles, oils, amulets, soaps, needles, lotions, tobacco, herbs, and services such as spell casting and cleansings all geared to finding, keeping or recovering love. Products have names such as atrapahombres (trap men), ven a mi (come to me), miel de amor (honey of love) and Amansa guapos (tame handsome men). Most are related to ritual use of some kind, even as simple as burning a candle. Others are more complex with a mix of occult and standard religious practice.[9][12] As late as the 1990s, before medical abortion was legalized in Mexico City, one herbal remedy sought in the market was one to promote the termination of a pregnancy. Those who sold it did not give the treatment, rather they instructed the client what to use and how. The client was responsible for preparing the mixtures and taking them in order to take on the medical and legal risks onto themselves. Medical risks were serious as the treatment always led to excessive hemorrhaging which would require medical attention.[13] During the H1N1 flu scare in 2009, business fell at the market about 50%. However, for herbal medicine sellers, demand for a 10-herb blend designed to prevent and treat the flu kept a number of vendors solvent. The remedy includes eucalyptus, bougainvillea and tejocote fruit, selling for 80 pesos per kilo. During the same time period, merchants selling Santa Muerte paraphernalia reported selling a significant number of white dresses for the images, as the color is associated with health and purity.[14]</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercado_de_Sonora" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercado_de_Sonora">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercado_de_Sonora</a></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.streetdirectory.com/travel_guide/212906/travel_and_leisure/10_most_terrible_and_frightful_places_of_the_world.html" data-mce-href="http://www.streetdirectory.com/travel_guide/212906/travel_and_leisure/10_most_terrible_and_frightful_places_of_the_world.html" data-mce-style="font-weight: bold; color: #000000;" style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">10 most terrible and frightful places of the world</a></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;">3. The magical market Sonora in Mexico City, Mexico. The witches of Mexico, sitting in small booths, for 10 dollars promise a fast deliverance from poverty and adultery. There are tortured exotic iguanas, frogs and wild birds, hanged on the walls of tents in cages for sale. The market Sonora is opened every day for pilgrims from Mexico and tourists from the distant places who go for destiny predictions and promises of the best life. This is that place where all the local population gets some new "supernatural" thingamajigs, beginning from potions of the ancient Aztec formulae up to the Buddha statues. The stubborn enthusiasts, probably, will manage to buy here a little blood of a rattlesnake or the dried hummingbird for achieving success. But it is necessary to remember that sorcery in Mexico is not a joke: the National association of sorcerers was involved in the presidential elections in order to transform them in fair and free ones, using invocations.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.streetdirectory.com/travel_guide/212906/travel_and_leisure/10_most_terrible_and_frightful_places_of_the_world.html" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.streetdirectory.com/travel_guide/212906/travel_and_leisure/10_most_terrible_and_frightful_places_of_the_world.html">http://www.streetdirectory.com/travel_guide/212906/travel_and_leisure/10_most_terrible_and_frightful_places_of_the_world.html</a></p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;"> </p><h1 class="title" data-mce-style="font-weight: bold; color: #111111;" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 19px; color: rgb(17, 17, 17);">Child Organ Harvesting And Trafficking-Linked Arrest Made In Mexico</h1><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;">MEXICO CITY (AP) — Police in Mexico's western state of Michoacan detained an alleged member of the Knights Templar cartel who is suspected of kidnapping children to harvest their organs, an official said Monday.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;">Michoacan state Public Safety Secretary Carlos Castellanos Becerra alleged that Manuel Plancarte Gaspar was part of the cartel's organ-trafficking ring. The ring would kidnap children and take them to rented homes with medical equipment where their organs were removed, Castellanos Becerra charged.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;">"We have several statements in open investigations that point to a network of several suspects who would identify people with certain characteristics, especially children, and kidnap them," he said.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;">Castellanos Becerra said the cases go back several years, but he said he couldn't give any specific details or discuss evidence because the investigation is still open.</p><p style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px; line-height: 19px;">Plancarte Gaspar, 34, was detained last week along with another suspect in a stolen car. The men also had some crystal meth, Castellanos Becerra said.
