Apocalypse Means 'Unveiling" Do You See It?

Have you heard the song, "All Shook Up"? I bet you have. Elvis is famous for this song. He had a different meaning when he wrote the song than what I mean. The WORLD is being shook up by EARTHQUAKES. 

As of August 2026, 11 major earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or higher have been recorded worldwide. Thousands of smaller-magnitude earthquakes occur globally every year, but seismologists track the 7.0+ threshold as the baseline for major global seismic events. 

Recent Major 7.0+ Earthquakes

Indonesia: A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck off Flores Island on August 14, 2026, causing regional damage.
Colombia: A 7.4-magnitude quake struck on August 10, 2026, causing heavy shaking and structural damage.
Other Locations: Significant 7.0+ events earlier in the year hit countries including the Philippines, Venezuela, Japan, Mexico, Vanuatu, Tonga, and Malaysia. 

Not only earthquakes are occurring killing hundreds, the Earth is also on fire. Across the world, wildfires have scorched over 370 million acres across roughly 80 countries in 2026. Sub-Saharan Africa leads globally in total burned land area, while extreme summer heatwaves have triggered severe, fast-moving blazes across Europe and other international regions.

In western Canada, over 20,000 people were forced to flee communities along Okanagan Lake in British Columbia over the weekend as a fast-moving wildfire destroyed homes and dozens had to be rescued by aircraft. In the U.S., crews in Washington that have been fighting three wildfires that began burning in the Spokane area for over a week continued cleanup near containment lines. On August, 1, 2026, three wildfires closed in on the city of Spokane, burning over 10,000 acres, leveling hundreds of homes and businesses, and forcing over 60,000 people to evacuate. Evacuations have been ordered for areas along California’s famous Big Sur coast as a wildfire burns in the nearby steep, rugged mountains.

There have been out breaks of diseases. Specific Outbreaks and Pathogens. Bundibugyo Virus: An ongoing outbreak of Ebola disease caused by the Bundibugyo virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda has required international coordination. Oropouche Virus: Spread by small biting midges and mosquitoes, this insect-borne virus continues to cause expanding regional and travel-associated viral alerts. Avian Influenza: Continued monitoring of Influenza A strains and spillover risks among animal and dairy populations remains a priority for global health agencies. 

Right now, a parasitic illness called cyclospora is spreading through dozens of U.S. states, causing what doctors describe as explosive, watery diarrhea that can last for weeks. And the federal early-warning system designed to catch outbreaks like this one before they spiral out of control is no longer fully operational.

162 food recalls recorded in the United States through mid-August 2026, based on combined reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). 

Millions of tiny meteors enter Earth's atmosphere daily, but counting every single one is impossible. Organizations like the American Meteor Society track larger fireballs, noting thousands of major events and bright fireball reports in 2026 so far, alongside major showers like the Perseids. 

A new Hunger Hotspots report released Wednesday by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) identifies 13 countries and territories where food insecurity is expected to worsen between June and November 2026. Sudan, South Sudan, Yemen and Palestine remain the most critical hotspots, while Nigeria and Somalia have moved into the highest-risk category amid growing concerns over famine. Conflict remains the main cause of hunger, affecting 12 of the 13 hotspots.

There are many believing we are living in the End Time, the times of the Apocalypse. An apocalypse originally meant an "unveiling" or "revelation" from the Greek word apokalypsis. Today, the word most often describes a major, violent event that brings total destruction or the end of the world. The ancient Greek root means to uncover or reveal something hidden to human eyes. 

The idea that the chaos we are living in now with President Donald Trump, needs some other-worldly explaination and the administration, or at least Pete Hegseth, has leaned into the narrative. In March 2026, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) reported receiving over 200 complaints from U.S. service members. They stated that various military commanders framed the conflict with Iran as a biblical "holy war" meant to trigger Armageddon and the return of Jesus Christ.

For the Christian, the Apocalypse IS the outcome of a sinful world and ca happen at anytime in history. The prophesy given to the disciple John, and penned as the Book of Revelation in the Christian Bible, is the final outcome of humanity. A LAST battle between good and evil where goodis vivtorious. 

The Book of Revelation describes a period of suffering on Earth known as the tribulation. There are three components to the Tribulation; earthquales, plagues, and famine. The world is facing this triple wrath of God. 

Severe summer heatwaves in 2026 have heavily impacted Western and Central Europe, with countries like the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, and Belgium logging record-breaking temperatures above 40°C (104°F), severe droughts, and mounting economic and health tolls. 

France recorded more than 5,700 excess deaths during its June heatwave, authorities have said, as swathes of southern Europe continue to endure another record-breaking period of extreme temperatures. The French national health agency said on Wednesday that it had recorded 5,764 excess deaths ⁠between ​17 June and 2 July, an excess mortality rate of 36%.More than half of the “unprecedented” total were recorded between 25 and 27 June, with deaths of people aged ⁠75 and older accounting for about two-thirds ​of ​the excess mortality, the agency said.

United Kingdom: Experienced its hottest July on record, with temperatures peaking at 38–39°C (100–102°F) in London and southern England, triggering widespread drought declarations across three-quarters of England and all of Wales. France: Faced recurring intense heatwaves with temperatures hitting 38°C in Paris, leading to high electricity demand, stress on nuclear and hydro power generation, and major agricultural and labor productivity losses. Italy: Sweltered under peak temperatures of 36–39°C across major urban centers like Rome, Florence, and Milan, prompting extensive health warnings for tens of millions of residents. Belgium & Western Europe: Suffered unexpected and severe health impacts with significant excess mortality reported in nations historically less adapted to searing summer heat. Portugal & Spain: Recorded extreme highs reaching up to 44°C in parts of Portugal and 37°C+ in central Spain, fueling severe dry conditions and wildfire risks. 

With all of these NATURAL DIASTERS occurring around the world, is it safe to say, "Two plus two equals four?" Is the Earth trying to tell us something? Has Mother Nature shared with us the beginning of the end of humanity according to the Christian Bible?

If we are in the Apocalypse, it will be unveiled to those who know God and His word. Many have gone before shouting, "The end is near." Is this just another one of those times or is THIS it? The end, when it comes, will be clearly seen because it will be unveiled to them at that time. God always keeps a remnant to share His word. Ther will ALWAYS be those watching for the signs of the End Times. There have been many times through history that could have fit the signs of the End Times.

The Book of Revelation tells Christians in certain terms how to recognize the End Times. Even with certain signs revealed, the Bible clearly states, "No man will know the day or hour," but, we are told to be on the lookout for certain things. 

This time we live in when Israel is committing war crimes along with it's American ally in war. The heavens, with it's planetary formations, say we are living in a turbulent times where right and wrong are the only two choices. Greed and oppression of the poor reigns. Money is king and power, not God. God is not forgotten though. Many use Religion and God to justify cruelty to others. NOT GODLY.

So, if we are in Apocalyptic times as many believe, there will be an unveiling. An ability to see what is occurring when all of the noise is silenced. It is about moral compasses and truth. What do we NOW recognize as TRUTH and are willing to fight for, is the true 'unveiling' we all will be experiencing before the Mid-term elections in November. 

What are you witnessing daily is the question and what are you going to do about it now that you can SEE what is happening?

Holidays Cancelled Due To Trump PTSD

Standing at the checkout line behind a grandmother and her young grandson, I heard him ask his grandman, "Are you finished with your Christmas shopping?" The grandmother turned to him and said, "We're not doing Christmas this year," then quickly looked at the others in line behind her. I diverted my eyes because there was no reason for her to have my approval or disapproval. I know EXACTLY why she and the boy's mother had made the decision. If you think about it, you know WHY too.

The feelings I experienced hearing a little kid being told there will be no Christmas, darkened my spirit. a Kids being A kid, he held out hope and showed his grandma a little toy he really wanted. She nodded politely and changed the subject. A glimpse of pain registered on her face momentarily. She took a breath, gathered herself, checked out and exited.

For those effected by the SNAP shutdown and just the HIGH cost of groceries, difficult decisions are being made about the holidays. For people who have FOOD SECURITY and support Donald Trump, the shutdown was just another opportunity for cruelness. SNAP receipients were publicly MOCKED and SHAMED. They were called fat, lazy, stealers, a drain on the nation, and any other things they could think of to denegrate a person for needing help to feed themselves and their family. It was a public, brutal, ABUSIVE ASSAULT.

While mocking people needing assistance with food, our president partied, golfed and threw money around to foreign governments as people were not sure about their next meal. America is a wealthy country with citizens paying taxes that are to help the country and its citizens. Overwhelmingly many people are saying poor lives don't matter. Poor people have become reviled and seen as the OTHER.

When trauma, and not knowing if you will be able to eat IS a trauma, there can be long reaching consequenses such as PTSD. You remember feelings, smells, words, actions of a traumatic experience whether you want to or not called FLASHBACKS. Hunger is traumatic by itself without being denegrated for being hungry.

PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, is a mental health condition that can develop after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event, such as a car accident, natural disaster, or assault. Symptoms include re-experiencing the trauma through flashbacks or nightmares, avoiding reminders of the event, and feeling on guard or easily startled. Treatment options like psychotherapy and medication are available and can help manage the symptoms, which include negative changes in mood, difficulty sleeping, and trouble concentrating.

Can you imagine, if people who WERE affected by the SNAP stoppage did have enough money for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals, sitting around the table having flashbacks of not being able to buy food. How is their self-esteem after living through food insecurity? Do they think about what if this happens again and they're unable to buy regular groceries AGAIN? HAVE THEIR MENTAL HEALTH BEEN AFFECTED?

People in favor of the cuts were like, "just get a job" when many recipients of SNAP benefits are WORKING Americans, elderly, children and the disabled. Minimum wage is a struggle income and jobs for college educated people barely pay more. Ask recent college graduates and they will tell you they can't EVEN find a job with a degree. Many American homes are filled with parents, adult children and elderly parents. Many grandparents are raising grandchilren on their own. 

The HAPPY season of holidays is suppose to be joyful. But Donald Trump has turned the season into flashbacks of trauma. Republican Christians fight so hard for people to say MERRY CHRISTMAS because of Jesus while showing no reverence to Jesus and how he cared more about the POOR than the WEALTHY. One of the three times Jesus became angry was when the poor was being taken advantage of.

Jesus expressed anger at least three times in the Bible: he was angry when merchants commercialized the temple, "My house will be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers" (Matthew 21:12-16). He was angry that the temple had become a place of commerce rather than worship. When people lacked compassion for a man with a withered hand, and when the Pharisees stubbonly refused to believe his teachings. His anger was described as righteous indignation at the hardness of heart or the desecration of his Father's house, not as a sinful human anger.

PTSD is not just happening to those whose SNAP benefits were cut. Americans wake every morning in FEAR of what cruel abusive thing Trump will do next. The news has become a source of trauma. No matter how hard you try, you can't escape Trump's antics. In some way or form he has hurt an American citizen. Even though airports are back at full operation, people are not going to fly. Trump's indiscrimnate FIRING of COMPETENT government employees and whoever else he wants to fire, has caused people not to trust flying anymore. Those who do fly are filled with anxiety questioning their decision.

The damage Trump's administration is inflicting will be felt for years. Even if people aren't experiencing TRUMP PTSD now, it can show up years later. Trump is an ABUSIVE president and have supporters who enjoy the pain he inflicts. This may be the most traumatizing of all. The realization of how many OTHER cruel people exist in America is SHOCKING to the system! This will be the hardest phychological healing for many. 

PTSD can be helped with therapy and medication, but many do not know they are suffering from it. Having a family member at holiday meals who RAVES about how wonderful Trump is can send someone into a rage. Pushing those feelings down, trying to get along, adds to the anxiety and stress caused by Trump.

Trump is a grifter and a ROBBER. He robs people of their dignity, humanity. This is not TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. This is something else, TRUMP PTSD. He is robbing people of their joy and SECURITY in so many areas and ways as he enjoys his life without threat or fear. We are experiencing trauma from his actions and behaviors daily. If you do a self-check, you probably are experiencing anxiety. Every day people are wondering, "How was he even elected?" Then we have to face the fact we live among the cruelest of people who continue to support him. Feelongs of helplessness and hopelessness abound. Our children are experiencing the same emotions as the adults. This is their world too. And for parents and grandparents, their hearts break for the little ones.

No, there is no need for explainations why the holidays have been canceled. People are preparing for the worst they know is YET to come. But how do you prepare for blatent abuse of power? You can't and that is TRAUMATIC.

SNAP Back America in This Trump Era

Were you one of the Americans who lived the entire month on October unsure of how you were going to eat? At anytime did actual DREAD fill your body because you or someone you knew were in danger of having government aid ending? Will the experience stay with you and your loved one's well beyond this Trump adminnistration?

In fiscal year 2024, approximately 41.7 million people received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, and nearly 100 million Americans received some form of government assistance in 2019. The number of people on "welfare" varies depending on which programs are included, as the term encompasses various aid programs like SNAP, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Medicaid, and housing assistance. That is a lot of people. It should make people wonder, why are so many people needing government assistance?

The reasons varies as does the ethnicity of the people receivinng the aid. This is not what this blog post is about. 

I want to ask, for those people who will CONTINUE to live under the fear of the GOVERNMENT from this day on, WHAT'S YOUR PLAN FOR THE FUTURE?

I guess the Trump administration believe all the LAZY people on government assistance, once their aid is cut off, will run out the next day and get a JOB. Republicans believe if you would get off your butt and go to work then you and America will fair better. They are geniuses right? PROBLEM SOLVED.

The latest U.S. job report (August 2025) showed a significant slowdown, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by only 22,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate rising to 4.3%. Other key indicators point to a weakening labor market, including a decline in long-term unemployment over the year and a decrease in government employment. Truth is, Donald Trump will FIRE you if the correct LOW job numbers are reported. Yes. YOU'RE FIRED. What jobs are available to those being thrown off government aid? Even before Trump, if you were willing to work, there were no jobs. With Trump, those jobs are even fewer. But I don't believe they care what happens to you. Remember, you are POOR and LAZY.

If some of the ex-recipients of government aid happen to be one of the lucky ones and finds a job, Hooray! You are now an APPROVED American by the Right. Congratulations!

Most full-time 40-hour a week jobs do not earn a living wage in America, as a significant portion of full-time workers fall short of being able to cover basic needs. While the exact amount needed for a living wage varies by location, a recent study found that 56% of full-time workers earn a living wage, meaning nearly half do not. 

In my state of Mississippi, the answer is also no. The jobs do not pay a living wage.A single adult needs approximately $20.75 per hour to cover basic living expenses, while the average wage in Mississippi is $22.87, but the median for many full-time jobs is much lower. The federal minimum wage of $7.25 is well below a living wage in the state. 

Republicans are focused on illegal immigration accusing illegal immigrants of receiving fraudulant government assistance such as health care. They are also responsible for crime that seems to only happen in BLUE states not noticing the poverty in RED states requiring government assistance.

The poorest states in the U.S. are consistently identified as Mississippi, Lousiana, New Mexico, West Virginia, and Arkansas though rankings can vary slightly depending on the specific metric used (like poverty rate or median household income). These states are often grouped together, particularly in the Deep South, and face challenges like high poverty rates, lower median incomes, and high rates of child poverty.

The last increase to the federal minimum wage in America was in uly 2009,when it was raised to $7.25 per hour. Since then, it has remained at this level, making it the longest period without a federal increase since the minimum wage was introduced in 1938.

Inflation has increased the price of everything including grocery making it difficult for the WORKING poor to be able to keep up. Grocery prices have increased by approximately 88% since 2000. This is based on the cumulative effect of inflation, which has caused a dollar to have less purchasing power. For example, $1 in 2000 is equivalent to about $1.88 today.

As of August 2025, the employment-population ratio for the United States was 59.6%This means that 59.6% of the civilian population aged 16 and over was employed. This percentage is slightly down from 60.2% in January 2024. Almost HALF of America is unemployed. First thought I know will be why are so many people unemployed? Well, there are the DISABLED and ELDERLY to consider in the number of Americans without a job.

America and Americans have has a wake up call. While many families were frantic with the thought of SNAP benefits being cut November 1, 2025, Donald Trump partied at a LAVISH HALLOWEEN party at MAR-A-LARGO. He made sure AND will make sure those who support him will dine and dance while the rest of America gets by.

My question remains, what will those receiving government aid do to PROTECT their future from another heartless government leader willing to cause families suffering and pain? I mean, no alternative way to provide food for their families was given to those receiving SNAP benefits and the CHURCHES on EVERY neighborhood street corner remain silent.

For African Americans this question is CRUCIAL, with the attack on Black and Brown people, Trump and the Right are closing the doors for employment and upward mobility for them.

DEI is being eradicated with the BELIEF there are NO qualified people of color OR gender able to qualify for high paying jobs. Trump do not want to see Black or Brown faces in jobs of importance such as in the military and federal government. He fired a number of Black people during his first 100 days in office. Black American history is being erased as being UNPATRIOTIC. This is in a country that celebrates the REBEL FLAG as an honorable flag and still fight for the right to fly it. It was created for and by treasonous Americans.

HBCU's, (Black Colleges and Universities) which are predominately, historically Black, are under threat of being defunded. Luckily, there are donors who do not want to see those college doors closed. On a whole, the Trump administration is targeting education. Their (MAGA, Right) greivance against the current education system is that it is woke, teaches Critical Race Theory, anti-Christian, and anti-Americanism. Education is not anti anything. It is for intellectual growth and exposure to the greatest information and minds in the fields of their study. Each human is responsible for their worldview. once they become an adult. 

I find it funny parents have their children 18 years and give them the foundation of their core beliefs. Higher education has a child 6 years (undergrad and grad) and in those 6 years the colleges and universities negate the 18 years prior that a parent instilled in their child. I know it happens. I have seen freshman college students in SHOCK at the information given to all students who pass the doors compared to what was learned in their home. One thing taught in homes, RACISM, begins to be seen for the lie it is once the child is exposed to a diversity of people, cultures, traditions, and ideogy. Many of these YOUNG minds cannot believe what they WERE taught COMPARED to what they are being taught. THAT DOESN'T MAKE COLLEGES WRONG. The student may have just had a sheltered life. For some college students, college becomes a choice between their PARENT'S beliefs and FACTS of science, history, literature and so forth, which for some is traumatic. Some parental truths were LIES or withheld innformation. But, the college does not have enough of interest in yor child to personally brainwash them. For what and to do what?

We are at a point of no education and no jobs. The average education level for Americans ages 25 and older is a high scholl diploma, but a significant portion also holds a bachelor's degree or higher. In 2025, approximately 95% of the population aged 25 and over had a high school diploma or higher, while around 40% had a bachelor's degree or higher. Educational attainment has increased over time, with recent trends showing a rise in bachelor's degree attainment, particularly among younger age groups. 

So what is the economic SAFETY plan for those receiving government assistance? Your guess is as good as mine.

In a land of so much promise, once said to have streets paved with gold, the citizens are SURVIVNG in America, not THRIVING in America. Corporate GREED is making life in AMERICA almost impossible and definitely a STRUGGLE for most Americans. We are in an age where we only are concerned with our own wellbeing. If we see our neighbor having a tough time, we turn our heads or eyes and keep it moving.

Dependence on the government is over even if it was for legitimate reasons. Immigrants have abandoned the fruit and vegetable fields without any other ethnic group stepping up to fill the loss. Food, they say, lie rottening on the ground. Farmers no longer have buyers for their produce like before due to tariffs. Brick and mortar stores are closing due to lack of spending money by consumers.

Everyone is scrambling for a plan to live through this TRUMP ERA and it will be named so due to all of the destruction he is doing to America, it's citizens, and the world at large.

We're going to have to BRAINSTORM and come up with a plan which will never allow this to happen to OURSELVES again as Americans. Now, I'm not naiive. I know there is a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse, but the extravagance of the Trump administration, while calling people frauds, cheats, lazy, and criminnals is hard on the good average everyday people trying to take care of their family.

Its time to plan for finnancial security the best way you can but do something to never be put in this situation again. I know. Easier said than done. But in the same way you eat an elephant, a bite at a time, restructure your life using every available resource. Help others, network, take traing classes, do something. Things are going to get worse before they get better.

As with all of the mass shooting, there are thoughts and prayers for the poor. In a Christian nation, of course, there are thoughts and prayers for the less fortunate and for those sufferinng. The Christian Bible also teaches how to treat one another. Several Bible verses command believers to feed the poor, with key examples including Isaiah 58:7, which says, "Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter," and Proverbs 22:9, which states, "The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor". Matthew 25:35 highlights that caring for the poor is equivalent to caring for Jesus himself, while Proverbs 19:17 suggests that kindness to the poor is a loan to the Lord. But can you COUNT ON a Christian nation to abide by THEIR religion? History has said a loud HELL NO.

My fellow Americans, its time to plan for the FUTURE and inact your plan. Trump cares about Trump. It is not beneath him to somehow steal the election or just refuse to leave the White House. Remember the FEAR OF OCTOBER 2025 and let it be your MOTIVATION to say NEVER AGAIN.
