인류가 어떻게 종말을 맞이 할것인가 하는 이론은 여러가지가 있습니다. 핵전쟁으로 멸망, 큰 횡성이 지구에 폭발해 멸망, 화산, 기후변화 등으로 인한 천재 지변으로 인하여 멸망, 온역으로 멸망, 등등이 있습니다.
물론 성경말씀은 노아때 물로 심판하신것과는 달리 불로 심판하실것이 예언 되어 있습니다.
(벧후 3:8-14) 『[8] 사랑하는 자들아 주께는 하루가 천 년 같고 천 년이 하루 같은 이 한 가지를 잊지 말라 [9] 주의 약속은 어떤 이의 더디다고 생각하는 것 같이 더딘 것이 아니라 오직 너희를 대하여 오래 참으사 아무도 멸망치 않고 다 회개하기에 이르기를 원하시느니라 [10] 그러나 주의 날이 도적 같이 오리니 그 날에는 하늘이 큰 소리로 떠나가고 체질이 뜨거운 불에 풀어지고 땅과 그 중에 있는 모든 일이 드러나리로다 [11] 이 모든 것이 이렇게 풀어지리니 너희가 어떠한 사람이 되어야 마땅하뇨 거룩한 행실과 경건함으로 [12] 하나님의 날이 임하기를 바라보고 간절히 사모하라 그 날에 하늘이 불에 타서 풀어지고 체질이 뜨거운 불에 녹아지려니와 [13] 우리는 그의 약속대로 의의 거하는 바 새 하늘과 새 땅을 바라보도다 [14] 그러므로 사랑하는 자들아 너희가 이것을 바라보나니 주 앞에서 점도 없고 흠도 없이 평강 가운데서 나타나기를 힘쓰라』
과학자들이 고대의 큰 동물들이 왜 멸종하였는지 연구하는 가운데 한 이론은 바로 지하에서 솟아나는 개스로 인하여 산소부족으로 질식사 한것으로 결정짓는 이론입니다.
오래전에 어느 미개 지역에서 사람들이 이유없이 죽어가고 머리가 아프고 하는 이상한 지역을 방송한 적이 있었습니다.
연구 조사결과 그 지역에는 큰 화산이 땅 속에 있어서 일산화 탄소를 배출하여 그 지역에는 산소가 없기 때문에 사람들이 원인 모르게 죽어 가고 있었던 것이 발견되었습니다.
저도 어렸을때 연탄 가스 여러번 마시고 고통을 당한 적이 있습니다.
현재 메탄 가스 오염은 심각한 지경입니다.

그런데 이번 멕시코만에 해양 원유 채취선이 폭발한 원인이 바로 해저에서 올라온 메탄 가스라고 알려졌습니다.
사람들은 원유 시추선이 해양 깊은 곳의 메탄가스 가 저장되어 있는 장소를 뚫었고 메탄 가스는 이제 막을수 없게 되었다는 것입니다.
이 메탄 가스가 바닷물과 공기를 오염시키며 인간들을 포함한 모든 동식물을 질식사 시킬수 있다는 것입니다. 물론 메탄 가스는 공기보다 가벼워 공중으로 올라갈것입니다. 그래도 많아지면 10%-15% 되면 폭발을 일으킬수도 있습니다.
사실이 아니기를 바랍니다.
어쨋든 우리는 이 진동하는 시대에 깨어 기도하며 주님을 사랑하고 전도와 선교와 기도로 주님오실날을 예비하여야 할것입니다.
이런 여러가지 일로 인하여 사람들의 마음이 약하여 져서 회개하고 하나님께로 돌아게 되기를 기도합니다.
위대하신 주님 주의 영광 온땅 덮을때 나는 일어나 노래하리.
주님 사모합니다.
마라타나!

"공룡 멸종은 메탄가스 폭발 때문"
공룡이 멸종한 것은 대기 중에 가득찬 메탄가스가 폭발했기 때문이라는 이론이 나왔다.
이 폭발은 혜성이 지구 표면과 충돌하면서 지각 아래 묻혀있던 방대한 양의 메탄 가스가 방출해 발생했을 가능성이 있다. 멕시코만에서 6천500만년전 발생한 대충돌은 지구의 기후를 변화시키고 공룡의 멸종을 야기시킨 것으로 보인다.
하지만 일단의 미국 해양학자들은 이것으로 공룡의 멸종을 완전히 설명할 수는 없다고 말한다. 즉 혜성 충돌만이 아닌 또 다른 요인이 메탄 가스의 분출과 폭 발을 가져왔다고보는 것이다.
백악기 말기에 썩어가는 식물로 인해 생긴 방대한 양의 메탄 가스는 해수면 500ｍ 아래의 퇴적층에 묻혀 있다가 점차 수면으로 끓어오르면서 대기 속으로 스며들었고 이후 불안정한 대기에서 발생한 번개에 의해 불이 붙었을 가능성이 있다는 것이다.
워싱턴에 있는 해양연구소의 버튼 허들 박사는 뉴 사이언티스트지에서 "대기 자체가 불이 붙었을 것이다. 이것이 공룡의 멸종에 한 요인이 됐을 수도 있다”고 말했다.
과학자들은 또 플로리다주 해안의 블랙 릿지에 있는 후기 백악기 퇴적층의 분열과 이보다 규모는 작지만 후기 홍적세 시대에 멕시코만에서 발생한 퇴적층의 분열을 메탄 가스 방출의 증거로 들었다.
최근에도 대양의 바닥에서 나타나고 있는 활동들은 묻혀 있는 메탄 가스가 소행성의 충돌 없이도 정기적으로 분출되고 있음을 의미한다. 몇몇 과학자들은 버뮤다 삼각 지대를 지나는 항공기나 선박이 갑자기 레이더에서 사라져 버리는 현상이 메탄 가스의 배출과 관련이 있다고 믿고 있다. (브뤼셀=연합뉴스 이종원특파원)
Doomsday: How BP Gulf disaster may have triggered a 'world-killing' event
by Terrence Aym
Ominous reports are leaking past the BP Gulf salvage operation news blackout that the disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico may be about to reach biblical proportions.
251 million years ago a mammoth undersea methane bubble caused massive explosions, poisoned the atmosphere and destroyed more than 96 percent of all life on Earth. [1] Experts agree that what is known as the Permian extinction event was the greatest mass extinction event in the history of the world. [2]
55 million years later another methane bubble ruptured causing more mass extinctions during the Late Paleocene Thermal Maximum (LPTM).
The LPTM lasted 100,000 years. [3]
Those subterranean seas of methane virtually reshaped the planet when they explosively blew from deep beneath the waters of what is today called the Gulf of Mexico.
Now, worried scientists are increasingly concerned the same series of catastrophic events that led to worldwide death back then may be happening again-and no known technology can stop it.
The bottom line: BP’s Deepwater Horizon drilling operation may have triggered an irreversible, cascading geological Apocalypse that will culminate with the first mass extinction of life on Earth in many millions of years.
The oil giant drilled down miles into a geologically unstable region and may have set the stage for the eventual premature release of a methane mega-bubble.
Ryskin’s methane extinction theory
Northwestern University's Gregory Ryskin, a bio-chemical engineer, has a theory: The oceans periodically produce massive eruptions of explosive methane gas. He has documented the scientific evidence that such an event was directly responsible for the mass extinctions that occurred 55 million years ago. [4]
Many geologists concur: "The consequences of a methane-driven oceanic eruption for marine and terrestrial life are likely to be catastrophic. Figuratively speaking, the erupting region "boils over," ejecting a large amount of methane and other gases (e.g., CO2, H2S) into the atmosphere, and flooding large areas of land. Whereas pure methane is lighter than air, methane loaded with water droplets is much heavier, and thus spreads over the land, mixing with air in the process (and losing water as rain). The air-methane mixture is explosive at methane concentrations between 5% and 15%; as such mixtures form in different locations near the ground and are ignited by lightning, explosions and conflagrations destroy most of the terrestrial life, and also produce great amounts of smoke and of carbon dioxide..." [5]
The warning signs of an impending planetary catastrophe—of such great magnitude that the human mind has difficulty grasping it-would be the appearance of large fissures or rifts splitting open the ocean floor, a rise in the elevation of the seabed, and the massive venting of methane and other gases into the surrounding water.
Such occurrences can lead to the rupture of the methane bubble containment—it can then permit the methane to breach the subterranean depths and undergo an explosive decompression as it catapults into the Gulf waters. [6]
All three warning signs are documented to be occurring in the Gulf.
Ground zero: The Gulf Coast
The people and property located on the greater expanse of the Gulf Coast are sitting at Ground Zero. They will be the first exposed to poisonous, cancer causing chemical gases. They will be the ones that initially experience the full fury of a methane bubble exploding from the ruptured seabed.
The media has been kept away from the emergency salvage measures being taken to forestall the biggest catastrophe in human history. The federal government has warned them away from the epicenter of operations with the threat of a $40,000 fine for each infraction and the possibility of felony arrests.
Why is the press being kept away? Word is that the disaster is escalating.
Cracks and bulges
Methane is now streaming through the porous, rocky seabed at an accelerated rate and gushing from the borehole of the first relief well. The EPA is on record that Rig #1 is releasing methane, benzene, hydrogen sulfide and other toxic gases. Workers there now wear advanced protection including state-of-the-art, military-issued gas masks.
Reports, filtering through from oceanologists and salvage workers in the region, state that the upper level strata of the ocean floor is succumbing to greater and greater pressure. That pressure is causing a huge expanse of the seabed-estimated by some as spreading over thousands of square miles surrounding the BP wellhead-to bulge. Some claim the seabed in the region has risen an astounding 30 feet.
The fractured BP wellhead, site of the former Deepwater Horizon, has become the epicenter of frenetic attempts to quell the monstrous flow of methane.
The subterranean methane is pressurized at 100,000 pounds psi. According to Matt Simmons, an oil industry expert, the methane pressure at the wellhead has now skyrocketed to a terrifying 40,000 pounds psi.
Another well-respected expert, Dr. John Kessler of Texas A&M University has calculated that the ruptured well is spewing 60 percent oil and 40 percent methane. The normal methane amount that escapes from a compromised well is about 5 percent.
More evidence? A huge gash on the ocean floor—like a ragged wound hundreds of feet long—has been reported by the NOAA research ship, Thomas Jefferson. Before the curtain of the government enforced news blackout again descended abruptly, scientists aboard the ship voiced their concerns that the widening rift may go down miles into the earth.
That gash too is hemorrhaging oil and methane. It’s 10 miles away from the BP epicenter. Other, new fissures, have been spotted as far as 30 miles distant.
Measurements of the multiple oil plumes now appearing miles from the wellhead indicate that as much as a total of 124,000 barrels of oil are erupting into the Gulf waters daily-that’s about 5,208,000 gallons of oil per day.
Most disturbing of all: Methane levels in the water are now calculated as being almost one million times higher than normal. [7]
Mass death on the water
If the methane bubble—a bubble that could be as big as 20 miles wide—erupts with titanic force from the seabed into the Gulf, every ship, drilling rig and structure within the region of the bubble will immediately sink. All the workers, engineers, Coast Guard personnel and marine biologists participating in the salvage operation will die instantly.
Next, the ocean bottom will collapse, instantaneously displacing up to a trillion cubic feet of water or more and creating a towering supersonic tsunami annihilating everything along the coast and well inland. Like a thermonuclear blast, a high pressure atmospheric wave could precede the tidal wave flattening everything in its path before the water arrives.
When the roaring tsunami does arrive it will scrub away all that is left.
A chemical cocktail of poisons
Some environmentalist experts are calling what’s pouring into the land, sea and air from the seabed breach ’a chemical cocktail of poisons.’
Areas of dead zones devoid of oxygen are driving species of fish into foreign waters, killing plankton and other tiny sea life that are the foundation for the entire food chain, and polluting the air with cancer-causing chemicals and poisonous rainfalls.
A report from one observer in South Carolina documents oily residue left behind after a recent thunderstorm. And before the news blackout fully descended the EPA released data that benzene levels in New Orleans had rocketed to 3,000 parts per billion.
Benzene is extremely toxic and even short term exposure can cause agonizing death from cancerous lesions years later.
The people of Louisiana have been exposed for more than two months—and the benzene levels may be much higher now. The EPA measurement was taken in early May. [8]
Doomsday
While some say it can’t happen because the bulk of the methane is frozen into crystalline form, others point out that the underground methane sea is gradually melting from the nearby surging oil that’s estimated to be as hot as 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Most experts in the know, however, agree that if the world-changing event does occur it will happen suddenly and within the next 6 months.
So, if events go against Mankind and the bubble bursts in the coming months, Gregory Ryskin may become one of the most famous people in the world. Of course, he won't have long to enjoy his new found fame because very shortly after the methane eruption civilization will collapse.
Perhaps if humanity is very, very lucky, some may find a way to avoid the mass extinction that follows and carry on the human race.
Perhaps.
