This info is fyi only.
One of these 3 topics may help someone.
All true insight is given to me by
the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!
FYI:
1]
The way natural disaster and weather works is by the hand of God and or His powerful Angels says the Holy Bible and other ancient books such as the Book of Enoch.
Most people can relate to this truth,
however, Demonic Angels are rogue in every way,
and they may choose to unleash the fury of a personal vendetta upon you, and or your loved ones, and or an entire community by way of sudden destruction by flash flood, low level hurricane, f1-f3 tornado, water spout, sinkhole, explosion, meteor, or by other creative exploits.
No one would be the wiser to their treachery, but only conclude the individual has a case of bad luck, or a victim of so-called climate change!

There is a Tsunami Tidal Wave prophesied for the entire east coast!
The Lord God has told me in my spirit that the ENTIRE east coast (USA) will be destroyed and or underwater!
This will be due to the Canary Islands La Palma and Iceland's volcanoes, erupting and exploding into the sea!
God revealed to me that this Tsunami Tidal Wave event causes the events described in Revelation Chapter 8:6-9 (The 7th Seal).
This Tsunami Tidal Wave is also depicted on US $50 and $100 bills,
just as 911 was depicted on the $20 bill BEFORE the event happened!
You can see a variety of YouTube videos for complete instructions on how to fold US paper currency to reveal hidden images like the 1941 Pearl Harbor Attack, OK City Bombing, 911, and the Upcoming New York City/ East Coast Tsunami Tidal Wave!!!
This Tsunami Tidal Wave image is also on:

and many other places as well!
God warns us in many ways, but God also requires the evil, powerful, and magical Demonic Realm all around us to warn as well.
However, Evil usually does this in the form of make believe, or in jest
like in movies, videos, documentaries, video games, sitcoms, novels, and the like!
The La Palma Island volcano is now splitting.
The Icelandic Volcanoes are boiling as well.
It is said when these volcanoes explode, their pieces will plunge
into the Atlantic with great force, then major water displacement will occur!
This will create a Tidal Wave/ Tsunami that will destroy New York City
and the entire East Coast of America!!!
This Tsunami Tidal Wave will also drown all neighboring states to the north and south!
Areas down to, and including, the entire state of Florida, with all its nearby islands will be underwater!!!
You can visit floodmap.net then plug in 100-200 meters high wave
to see how your particular area may fair if you are situated on the east coast.

The Mark of the Beast is a new form of BIRTH CONTROL!
It is a small round patch with 16 tiny holes that form a square
at the center of that round patch.
This patch adheres to the skin, then fillers within this patch penetrate the epidermis and enters our bloodstream as it changes the DNA of our bodies!
*We humans should not take this Mark
for it will ensure Hell for our souls!
*Nor should we bow down to worship anyone or anything,
for this too will ensure our souls to be delivered to Hell.
We are to worship God aka Jesus Christ only!
Please pray about what has been written here.
Ask Christ to save your soul by His atoning blood,
and to direct you & your family out of harm's way in these Last Days.
Please, if you are reading, or listening to these words,
I believe it is by divine intervention.
Perhaps it's not for you, but someone you know,
or perhaps you have the power to warn many through your resources and or friends.
Thank you for reading this.

By the way,
Jesus died and rose about 150 years ago.
We have been misled by Satan and his evil Fallen and Demonic Angels.
Satan reigns in this age, thus he has changed time, dates, maps, people groups,
the names of places, and yes, the truth into lies that fill the books
of most libraries, grade schools, universities, and even some newer versions of the Bible!
Satan and his demons walk among us as men, women, and children. They are our neighbors, our preachers, teachers and professors, leading scientist, medical personnel, and astronauts. They are our elite across the earth, politicians, actors and entertainers!
Please don't fall for the okie doke!
