In a recent Back to Enoch Update I mentioned that we had sold our home of more than eight years, located in Malo, Washington. Many of you have seen pictures of the property in live presentations and on DVD and have heard our story of how the Lord led us to that property back in January of 2001. Some have written asking, "Why did you leave such a beautiful and ideal place?" And that's a good question - especially for a guy who's been preaching the "out of the cities" message for about a decade now. Do we still believe the country living message? Well, here's why we left, and what I believe about the "Out of the Cities" message now.
We recently posted a video released by the United States Air Force Research Laboratory on the subject of Micro Air Vehicles, or MAVs. The video uses computer animation to depict this small, bird sized flying robots complete with flapping wings. According to an article published in the Chicago Tribune, researchers have set a 2015 deadline for introducing the first generation of micro air vehicles - MAVs, which they hope will be capable of operating for several days before recharging. While such technology could be used anywhere, it's interesting that according to the video, MAVs are specifically for use in urban areas. CLICK HERE to watch the video.
Although a "National Emergency" has been declared over the H1N1 outbreak, not everyone in the medical community is convinced that this is as serious a problem as some would make us think. And while many point to internet rumors of the vaccine's dangers as paranoid and lacking credibility, even some main stream voices are expressing concern over it's use.
One such voice is that of Dr. Jay Gordon, a practicing pediatrician who has become more widely known from appearances on television including "Good Morning America" and "Larry King Live". According to Dr. Gordon, "For doctors and the government to imply that we have a dangerous pandemic on our hands distorts the entire community's approach to health care, scares people and, yes, the anxiety provoked is causing more medical problems than the disease itself."
For the last two years the Washington State Department of Transportation has been working on a Seattle earthquake video simulation but didn't release it to the public because it was too alarming. However, when a citizen filed a public disclosure request, the agency was required to release the video, which depicts the potential effects of a 7.0 earthquake on a stretch of freeway known as the Alaskan Way Viaduct.
On March 7, 2009 Pastor David Wilkerson, founder of World Challenge, Inc., issued a warning to everyone on his mailing list that "An earth-shattering calamity is about to happen. It is going to be so frightening, we are all going to tremble - even the godliest among us." Pastor Wilkerson went on to describe blazing fires and riots in "major cities all across America." His post closed with the solemn words, "I do not know when these things will come to pass, but I know it is not far off. I have unburdened my soul to you. Do with the message as you choose."
For Seventh-day Adventists these words sound familiar. We were warned long ago about calamities coming to the cities:
There is a very interesting development currently underway in Europe regarding a "work free Sunday." At this point, the matter has been introduced into the European Parliament as an initiative. If a majority of signatures can be obtained before May 7, 2009, then it will be adopted as an official act of the European Parliament. The written declaration promotes the adoption of the initiative on the grounds that it will bring "social" benefits by protecting family time, and also safeguarding the health of workers.
Even though this initiative is not based upon religious grounds, we should take note that it is being welcomed by and posted on the COMECE website. COMECE is an acrostic standing for Commissio Episcopatuum Communitatis Europensis, or the Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the European Community. It is made up of Bishops delegated by the Catholic Bishops' Conferences of the European Union with a permanent Secretariat in Brussels. CLICK HERE to read the article on their website.
We've just posted a new article addressing the issue of long term food storage from an Adventist perspective. With the continuing economic troubles and concerns about rising food prices, interest is growing in "stocking-up" on food. Yet many wonder about a warning from Mrs. White regarding stock piling food for the time of trouble. How should we view this? You can find the article in the "Articles and Other Documents" list in the "Publications" area, or Click Here to check out Dave's article.
NOTE: We referenced this news story in our first "Back to Enoch Update" (published in December of last year), but since we have had so many new sign-ups in the last two months, we decided to post it again here on our news page.
According to a bipartisan congressionally mandated task force, the odds are now better than even that terrorists will soon strike a major city with weapons of mass destruction. In the face of these threats, the incoming White House administration was urged to take "decisive action" to thwart a catastrophic attack. While biological weapons would be more accessible than nuclear material, the report stated that "the nuclear threat is growing rapidly, in part because of the increasing global supply of nuclear material and technology." The task force warned that "without greater urgency and decisive action by the world community, it is more likely than not that a weapon of mass destruction will be used in a terrorist attack somewhere in the world by the end of 2013."
The task force was created at the recommendation of the 9/11 commission, and has conducted more than 260 intervews with experts worldwide in an attempt to asses these threats. The story first appeared in the Washington Post on December 2, 2008.

Update on Black "Coffins"
Thursday, 23 October 2008 00:00
Several years ago, Back to Enoch Ministries posted information on our website about thousands of black plastic burial vaults stacked in the small town of Madison, Georgia, about an hour east of Atlanta.These burial vaults are designed to protect coffins from soil and moisture.We were told that they could also be used as cheap coffins.What we first posted on our website was information that had been shared with us
