I use a high cost oregano and put two or three drops under my tong, burns but have not been really sick in years.

Here is my take on coming events. I have been working on this since I became a believer in 1993. It is my attempt to tie it all together. I am not a prophet.

Begin by reading the comments in cell C2. Also read the comments in cells J11 and AG22. Many other cells contain comments as well.

The near term event that would turn “possible” to “definite” in my mind would be the partitioning of Jerusalem, a reinstitution of animal sacrifice on the Temple Mount, and an agreement of some sort established for a period of “seven.”

Blessings to you and your loved ones.

Thank you for clarifying.

Regardless of how you came to say what you said, it has definitely affected my thoughts on the subject.

With this Ebola outbreak, widespread plague may come to earth much earlier than I have placed it on my timeline. That possibility exists if the horsemen have parallel or even just overlapping rides.

Here is my attempt to tie it all together. I am not a prophet.

I am in agreement with ClearCase, that the four horses of the apocalypse have been released
deception
wars
famines (spiritual and physical)
death and hell (the grave)
They started out at a slow walk. In the grand finale, they will be running like thoroughbreds.
We have one concept of time, Linear. Other cultures (perhaps even the Hebrew mind), have a cyclical concept of time.

No. The most terrifying thing about Ebola is that we have to rely upon Obama to protect us from it.

Thing is, we are all human. I work in medicine, and the same applies. Ya gotta trust someone, or you might as will just start digging the 6 foot hole now...

The irony is astounding. Pardon...just my sense of humor.

30% survival with trained medical practitioners, saline (already in short supply), electrolites, and medications.
10% survival rate with home care

Saline is basically a sterile sodium solution delivered intravenously to add volume to blood loss or compensate for dehydration. The same can be accomplished by drinking fluids orally provided the patient is conscious and able to keep fluids down. Electrolytes can easily be ingested by any number of easily available fluids and foods with glucose etc.

As far as medications go, there aren't any specific to Ebola. The drugs they are using would likely include anti-inflammatories, pain killers and others used commonly for viruses, flu etc. As with many viral infections, all you can do is keep the inflammation and fever down and let it run its course.

I guess my point is that if we get up to speed we can do about as much for ourselves as the doctors can do for us if they're not available.

I'm not a doctor though - not even close.

Check this out. What if he sends Medics and Corpsmen from ALL different military bases. Then those members go back to our MILITARY bases. Who gets infected FIRST?

THE MILITARY

I was also thinking that our military have been used as guinea pigs in the past, too,eh?

But panic aside, from a previous discussion consider that Africa is a third world continent. Prevention is key. Liberians are staying in their homes, cleanliness is next to Godliness and here is the suggested article to calm nerves...

The game of Ebola Roulette continues...

*click* spin *click* spin *click* spin…

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

This guy nails why it's spreading in Africa and why it will spread the same way in America.

More than most other pandemic diseases (malaria, cholera, plague, etc.) and more than airborne diseases (influenza, swine flu, H5N1, etc.) that are transmitted indiscriminately through the air, this disease is passed through very minute amounts of bodily fluid. Just a slip of contact with the infected party and the caregiver herself can be stricken.

But imagine: You are a parent whose child has suddenly come ill with a fever. Do you cast your child away and refuse to touch him? Do you cover your face and your arms? Stay back! Unclean! Or do you comfort your child when he asks for you, arms outstretched, to make the pain go away?

Imagine: You live in a home with five other family members. Your sister falls ill, ostensibly from Ebola, but possibly from malaria, typhoid, yellow fever, or the flu. You are aware of the danger to yourself and your other family members, but you have no simple means to move her, and she is too weak to move herself. What do you do?

Imagine: You are a child of 5 years old. Your mother is sick. She implores you to back away. But you are scared. What you need, more than anything, is a hug and a cry.

In my end times studies, I have been operating under the assumption that the four seals (Revelation 6:1-8) Seal 1 - White Horse Seal 2 - Red Horse Seal 3 - Black Horse Seal 4 - Pale Horse

If I can contribute here. The Revelation was by Jesus Christ. It was a prophecy about what would happen in the future...that time after 90 ad or so when John received it.

It doesn't stand alone. Christ made the same prophecy in different terms earlier...the Olivet prophecy:

Mat 24:3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"

Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.
Mat 24:5 For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.

Religious deception, especially false Christianity. Horse 1.

Mat 24:6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Mat 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom...

Wars. Horse 2.

Matt 24:7 ...And there will be famines...

Horse 3.

Matt 24:7 ...pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

Horse 4.

Mat 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Sorrows is translated from the greek word for labor pains. So the 4 horsemen began to ride almost immediately after John's time. And as history went on all of these things got worse and worse...like labor pains get closer and closer and more powerful as time goes on. Near the end all of these factors will be strong. And they are.
