Zumba Clothing – What is the Best Workout Clothes to Wear

Is Zumba clothing important? Whether you are doing an aerobic or cardio class the correct attire can make your workouts easier. And it’s no different with Zumba. There are so many different styles, brands, fabrics and types available today that the task of choosing the proper work-out clothes can be somewhat daunting. Besides everyone has their own personal favorites. Here are some of my favorite dance work out apparel that I personally where in all my classes.

One last thing, many of our existing customers are wearing just any old garment to their classes. We used to do the same thing but what we found is that when you wear clothing that is not only comfortable to workout in but that you look good in, you will enjoy your workouts more! Recent studies suggest that you are more apt to continue your exercise program if you have the proper attire and are happy with the way you look in your workout clothes.

Besides Zumba is all about having fun. So take a little time and find the right cargo pants, tank tops and other apparel to maximize your experience.

Zumba Cargo Pants

It is important to have comfortable pants that move with you. Clothing that restricts your movement is not advised. You need to have exercise clothing that moves with you. These should also be made of a breathable stuff. A newer fabric out today is Supplex. Supplex is a fully breathable fabric that is soft and feels like cotton but made to stretch with you and go right back into place time after time. This fabric does not pill either.

This material also keeps its color very well wash after wash and dries quicker than cotton. This is one type of exercise material we recommend. Another good material you will really like is Dri Fit®. In our opinion, it holds it’s shape well and keeps moisture away from your body. Another option are the very hip and very popular cargo pants that you see many of the instructors wear on the videos.

They are available in a tremendous array of vibrant colors and sizes and styles. The “hipster” style has a little narrower leg and a shorter rise. They also carry plus size workout clothing.

Why You Don’t Have to Be Rich to Live the James Bond Lifestyle

Whenever I tell people that I write for a website that teaches guys to live like James Bond, one of the first responses I get is: how you can say you’re living like 007 when you’re staying in hostels? You need to be rich to have the James Bond lifestyle.

This couldn’t be further from the truth. I casually respond to this question by asking them if James Bond himself was rich. I say, “He was a government worker for crying out loud.” In this rest of this article I’ll tell you how to live like 007 on backpacker’s budget.

In the Ian Fleming novel The Living Daylights, Bond travels to Berlin for an assassination attempt. In order to fit in with the crowd, Bond dressed in “drab, anonymous, middle-European clothes he had brought over for the purpose.” He dressed to not attract attention to himself and fit in with those around him.

Whenever I am staying in hostels, I wear the gear of other hostel people. I leave my watch at home because it attracts attention and it’s especially not desirable to be wearing it poorer countries. I dress to fit in.

A powerful mindset you can adopt is that you are just dressing the part for now, but deep down you know you are bettering yourself and your financial position daily. So, when you do have the cash, you’ll be staying in nicer places, wearing nicer clothing, and dining in excellent restaurants. But for the moment, you are choosing to play the part of the traveler or the guy on a budget.

And, being a guy on a budget doesn’t have to hinder you completely. Learn how to spend your money effectively. This means eliminating costs that don’t mean much to you or add value to your life and spending money on the things you truly enjoy.

Using these techniques, I feel very comfortable and confident telling people that I live like James Bond, even though I’m not cruising through Monte Carlo in a Aston Martin. But that’s my choice. I’m not choosing to exchange my time (time = money) spent traveling at the moment for a vehicle.

Titanium Dive Watches – Why Titanium Diving Watches Are So Common

Many modern day dive watches are now manufactured from titanium. This has many benefits as titanium possesses several qualities that make it perfect for deep sea watches. Titanium is known as a “space age metal”, it is strong and corrosive resistant and is encountered all over the planet in bodies of water and soil deposits. Discovered in 1791, it is possible to combine it with other elements to produce useful, lightweight alloys that have be utilized by the aerospace industry as well as dentists and the military. The metal is found in a variety of sporting goods, automotive products, jewellery, mobile phones and sports watches.

First used in watches in 1978, by the International Watch Co. (also commonly known as IWC) located in Schaffhausen Switzerland and was partially owned by Ferdinand Porshe in that era, the company utilized Titanium to produce the world’s first watch bracelet. On the heels of this success, the company designed an entire Titanium case and bracelet for another watchmaker in 1980 although that company was subsequently forced to withdraw from the project leaving IWC – a maker of internal movements at that time – to take complete control of the manufacturing process for titanium cases.

Making a watch out of titanium was not a trivial process and IWC managed to refine the process of creating polished titanium watch cases down to a fine art. They released the world’s first chronograph watch in Titanium that originally sold for around $1300 – a bargain considering how revolutionary the engineering process was at the time.

The trend caught on and titanium watches are now everywhere. Nearly every watch manufacturer on earth has a titanium watch within their product lines. The Citizen watch company is the largest, using titanium in their sports and diving watches. Titanium is 30% stronger and 50% lighter than steel, is corrosive resistant, and hypoallergenic. While it is more expensive than steel, can scratch easily and stain, watch makers like Citizen overcomes these problems with a glass multi-layer coating that prevents scratching.

There are several factors that have led to the increase in the number of diving watches that use Titanium in their cases. Titanium is the ideal case material for dive watches due to it’s strength, lightness and resilience in seawater environments. Titanium watches feel lighter on the wrist and there is an abundance of Titanium metal available.

The list of dive watch makers who utilize Titanium metal is endless, Seiko, Citizen, Omega, Rolex and Invicta and the list goes on… Prices tend to start around $250 for these watches and can retail for much higher in the top quality watches. More titanium dive watches are being produced every year. From space age material, to a practical underwater, deep sea resistant watch case for divers, the titanium trend is likely to continue for many years to come.

2012 And the 7 Dimension End Time Prophecies

Imagine – Stephen Hawking, who some have called the “Einstein of Today,” preaching in the inner city streets of London – wearing a sandwich board sign that proclaims, “Repent for the End is Near.”

Does that sound unlikely to happen? Well maybe, considering that Mr. Hawking just wrote in his new book: “The Grand Design,” – that the laws of physics really don’t need a God to explain the creation (or the destruction) of the universe: “Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going” (Stephen Hawking).

However, many other scientists these days are taking more of a prophetic position when discussing 2012. There are presently 7 zealous groups (see below) preaching that the end of days will come in less than 26 months (December, 2012), and 5 of these groups – are from the scientific community.

7 Signs Predicting the End of Days in 2012

1. The Earth’s Magnetic Field – Scientists predict that the earth’s magnetic fields (north and south poles) that shield us from most of the sun’s radiation will swap places in 2012, causing enough ultraviolet rays to kill everything that it touches (nasa.gov).

2. Sun Storms – Solar experts from around the world who monitor the sun are reporting that solar storms have recently been bombarding the earth with a lot of radiation energy that has been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. They are calculating that this activity will get worse and predict that it will reach its deadly peak in the year 2012 (nasa.gov).

3. Super Volcano – Scientists report that the Yellowstone National Park volcano in the United States is steadily building up pressure. It has a pattern of erupting every 700,000 years, and we are way overdue. Geologists are predicting its next Big Bang in 2012, will fill the atmosphere with ash, block the sun and plunge the earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 17,000 years (nasca.org).

4. The Atom Smasher – European Scientists are building the world’s biggest particle accelerator designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the universe tick. Scientists around the world are predicting disastrous results when this machine is turned on for its first serious experiment in 2012. They believe that it could create mini black holes that would crush the earth into a super-dense blob the size of a watermelon (cbsnews.com).

5. The Physicists – Berkley University physicists have determined that the earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event, and they have calculated and predicted with a 99% certainty that we’re all going to die in 2012 (millerinstitute.berkeley.edu).

6. The Mayan Calendar – The Mayans were the first to predict the end of the world on December 21, 2012. They were very good at building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone, and they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out – thousands of years ago. Some are saying that since they were able to calculate the lunar cycle – their end of the world prediction must also be right on target (usetoday.com).

7. The Bible – Some Christian groups are proclaiming that interpretations of the Book of Revelation predict the date for the final battle between good and evil (Armageddon), will be in 2012 (gnmagizine.org).

Since I do not have a scientific background, I will refer you to Mr. Hawking concerning the first five scientific prophecies. To be fare he was quoted as saying: “We’re not saying there is no God, we’re saying there is no need for God to explain the universe, and I agree with him on that. I will briefly comment on ancient religions and their apocalyptic predictions, but will save the commentary for the sixth reason for the Mayan archeologist experts. This article will primarily focus on ancient religious manuscripts including biblical scriptures in an attempt to answer the following two questions and will be divided into two parts:

Part 1: Is there any ancient evidence of a 7 – Dimensional God who will bring about the end of the world as we know it? and if so -
Part 2: What are the documented world conditions and time lines for this to happen?

PART ONE

7 Dimensional Background

As a foundation or prerequisite for this article, I would encourage you to read the 7 articles below that support a seven dimensional theory of everything:

1. Contemplating a 7 – Dimensional Theory of Everything,
2. Ancient Mysteries of the Seven Dimensions,
3. The 7 Dimensional God and Ancient Mystery Religion,
4. The 7-Dimension Intervention – A Holistic Diathesis-Stress Approach to Stress-Management,
5. DSM-V and the 7 Dimensions Therapeutic Model,
6. Chess & the 7-Dimensions of Life, and
7. Addictions Recovery Measurement & the Seven Dimensions

As I have repeatedly mentioned in my previous articles, I would like to apologize in advance for offending anyone’s religious sensitivities, as this is a work in progress that is very, very far from perfect, and I am fully aware of my biases toward Christianity. I would also like to say that this article is intended for those that do not believe in God or are confused about religion (16% of our 6 Billion-plus people on planet earth).

With the above disclaimer to being a Prophet of God (that even sounds silly as I write it) or having and/ or knowing the absolute truth, I would like to present what I believe to be the origins of ancient religious knowledge and ageless wisdom that give us some answers to how ancient civilizations viewed these questions. I would first like to focus on the most significant present day forms of religion and then consider their apocalyptic predictions regarding the end of the world.

7 Major Expressions of Ancient Religions and their 7 Dimensional Influences

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse,” (The Bible, Romans 1:20).

It is clear from the above verse that God has revealed himself to all humans throughout history – even prior to the development of religions. Following are the 7 major forms of world religions that include 84% of the world’s present population (World population was 6,871,111,449 on Sep 25, 2010) with some of their 7 Dimensional influences and apocalyptic predictions.

1. Ancient Mystery Religions: The 7 Days of Creation (Prehistory)
2. Judaism: The 7 Spirits of God (2000 B.C.)
3. Hinduism: The 7 Chakras (1500 B.C.)
4. Buddhism: The 7 Points of Proper Religion (523 B.C.)
5. Chinese Traditional Religions: The 7 Lucky Gods (270 B.C.)
6. Christianity: The 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit (30 A.D.)
7. Islam: The 7 Heavens (610 A.D.)

Note: According to Adherents.com/ Religions, the “Nonreligious Group” (that includes – agnostic, atheist, secular humanist, and people answering no religious preference) make up – 16%. This is not a complete listing of all world religions as there are over 4,300 distinct faith groups covering all countries of the world.

Seven (7) Major Expressions of Ancient Religions and their Apocalyptic Predictions

1. Ancient Mystery Religions: Every twenty-six thousand years our solar system passes through the twelve zodiac signs. Ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Mayan, Hopi, Cherokee, and the Apache were aware of this great cycle and developed calendars according to it. Mayan cultures and civilizations were aware of this end date as December 21, 2012, and Nostradamus even prophesied about it (Esoteric Agenda Video).

2. Judaism: In Judaism the term “End of Days” is taken from the Tanakh, Numbers 24:4, as a reference to the Messianic era and the Jewish belief in the coming of Mashiach and the World to Come. The Dead Sea Scrolls identifies the Messiah as Melchizedek (Dead Sea Scrolls, 11Q13).

3. Hinduism: Ancient Hindus had a cyclic understanding of external history and internal
spirituality. The Cycle or “Kalpa”, lasting 8.64 billion years in the terms of orthodox Hindus, illustrates the pattern of decline. The final is Kali Yuga or the Dark Age where civilization becomes spiritually degraded, human lives are shortened by violence and disease and there is a general state of decay in nature.

4. Buddhism: Like Hindus, Buddhists generally believe in a cycle of creation and destruction, of which the current epoch represents only the latest step.

5. Chinese Traditional Religions: The I Ching or Tao Te Ching or The Book of Change is fundamental to Chinese Religion. Researchers have studied the fascinating numerology behind the I Ching and were surprised to find that after graphing the beginning of life on our planet and the beginning of historical time, it fit perfectly over the timeline and in doing so, the end of the graph lined up upon December 22, 2012 (Explain 2012.com).

6. Christianity: In Christianity, the End Times are often depicted as a time of tribulation that precedes the Second Coming of the Christian “savior” or a “hoped-for deliverer”, Jesus, the Christian Messiah, who will usher in the Kingdom of God and bring an end to suffering and evil.

7. Islam: In Islam,Yawm al-Qiyamah “the Day of Resurrection” or Yawm ad-Din “the Day of Judgement”, Allah’s final assessment of humanity, is preceded by the end of the world.

Note: The Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, & Islam quotes are from Wikipedia.

It’s interesting that all 7 major expressions of the current religions that dominate our world today have scriptural evidence for the “End of Days.” Eschatology is a part of theology that studies the final events in history, or the ultimate destiny of humanity, commonly referred to as the end of the world. Eschatological passages are found in many places, especially in the Bible’s books of: Isaiah, Daniel, Matthew, and the Book of Revelation.

7 Dimensional Interpretation and the Book of Revelation

The book of Revelation is not rocket science – it is more complex. Over the centuries there have been numerous approaches to interpreting this book. Following are 7 of these views.

1. Preterist View: Holds that the contents of Revelation constitute a prophecy of events that were fulfilled in the first century.

2. Historicist View: Hold that the events predicted in the Bible have been taking place in history.

3. Futurist View: Assigns all or most of the prophecy to the future, shortly before the second coming of Christ; especially when interpreted in conjunction with Daniel, Isaiah 2:11-22, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-5:11, and other eschatological sections of the Bible.

4. Idealist View: Teaches that it is a symbolic representation of the continual struggle of good and evil. It does not refer to any particular historical events. It is applicable at any point in history (NIV: Commentary).

5. Eastern Orthodox View: The book is seen as a warning to be spiritually and morally ready for the end times, whenever they may come (”as a thief in the night”), but they will come at the time of God’s choosing, not something that can be precipitated nor trivially deduced by mortals.

6. Esoterist View: The book bears multiple levels of meaning, the lowest being the literal or “dead-letter.” They see the book as delivering both a series of warnings for humanity and a detailed account of internal, spiritual processes of the individual soul.

7. Multidimensional View: Just as Stephen Hawking’s concept of the universe does not have just a single existence or history, I would propose that every possible interpretive approach listed above may exist simultaneously.

7 Directions of Prayer

Ancient Cherokee Indians didn’t believe that there were just four directions (North, South, East, & West). Unlike the Abrahamic religious believers in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, who pray with their heads facing down or up, Cherokee indians pray to the 7 directions, the four cardinal points, the sky, the earth, and the center or spirit (cherokee-nc.com).

Before we jump into the book of Revelation, I would like to take this time to pray to our Creator in the seven directions for wisdom, guidance, and understanding.

Considering a 7 Dimensional God

The following verses from the New Testament and the Old Testament may give us some clues to consider the 7 Dimensional God (See: The 7 Dimensional God and Ancient Mystery Religion).

7 Dimensions and the Holy Trinity: God the father (7 Spirits of God: Isaiah 11:2), God the Son (Jesus’s 7 Stars: Rev. 1:16), God the Holy Spirit (7 Gifts: Rom. 12:6-8)

The 7 Dimensional Lamb of God: Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth (Rev. 5:6). The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! (John 1:29).

Jesus’s 7 Stars & the 7 Golden Lamp Stands: “In his right hand he (Jesus) held 7 stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance (Revelations 1:16). “The mystery of the 7 stars that you saw in my right hand and of the 7 golden lamp stands is this: The 7 stars are the angels of the 7 churches, and the 7 lamp stands are the 7 churches” (Revelations 1:20). The above verses indicate that Jesus is holding the 7 angels who are guarding the 7 churches in his right hand.

The 7 Spirits of God: The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him–the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD (Isaiah 11:2).

Zechariah’s Vision of the 7 Eyes & the 7 Lights: “See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua! There are 7 eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,’ says the LORD Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day (Zechariah 3:9). “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a solid gold lamp-stand with a bowl at the top and 7 lights on it, with 7 channels to the lights…. ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty…. “(These 7 are the eyes of the LORD, which range throughout the earth.)” Zechariah 4:2-10).

The following verses may give us some more clues to reveal who the 7 – Dimensional God is:

1. God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you,’ (Exodus 22:13).

2. Jesus: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End,”(Revelation 22:13).

3. Melchizedek: “Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever (Hebrews 7:3).

4. Jesus: “I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” (John 8:58).

5. In John 1:1-3, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.”

6. In John 10:30, Jesus says that to see Him is to see the Father.

7. Later in John 14:7-9, Jesus adds that to know Him is to know the Father.

7 Messages to the 7 Churches: The Apostle John begins the book of Revelation by explaining how he received this message from God. Then he records specific revelations from Jesus (God) to the 7 churches.

7 Dimensions of Revelation: Seven (7) appears to have a special significance in this book: There are 7 churches symbolized by 7 lamp-stands (1:20); the churches have 7 angels symbolized by 7 stars (1:20); there are 7 spirits before the throne of God, symbolized by 7 lamps (4:5), and also by 7 horns and 7 eyes (5:6); the judgment scroll has 7 seals (5:1) with a corresponding set of 7 “seal judgments”; the 7th seal unleashes 7 “trumpet judgments,” which are heralded by 7 angels (8:1-2); the 7th trumpet unleashes 7 “bowl judgments,” where the bowls of God’s wrath are poured out by 7 angels (15:1); there are 7 mysterious thunders about which John is not permitted to say anything (10:3); 7,000 people are killed in an earthquake (11:13); the dragon has 7 heads and 7 diadems on his heads (12:3); and the beast from the sea has 7 heads (13:1).

One half of 7, is also a conspicuous number in Revelation: two witnesses are given power to prophesy 1,260 days, or exactly 3 and 1 half years, according to the Hebrew year of 360 days (11:3); the witnesses are then killed, and their dead bodies lie in the streets of Jerusalem for 3 and 1 half days (11:9); the “woman clothed with the sun” is protected in the wilderness for 1,260 days, or 3 and 1 half years (12:6); Gentiles tread the holy city underfoot for 3 and 1 half years (11:2); and the beast is given authority to continue for 3 and 1 half years (13:5), (WIKIPEDIA).

Is there any ancient evidence of a 7 – Dimensional God who will bring about the end of the world as we know it? Considering the above verses, I will leave that up to you to decide, but I believe that there is sufficient evidence to support that Jesus the Christ, our High Priest in the Order of Melchizedek is our 7 – Dimensional God.

PART TWO

So, lets move on to question two. What are the documented world conditions and time lines for the end of the world as we know it or the Second Coming of Christ?

Considering this question at this point in history, we will be analyzing the “Futurist View” of interpreting the book of Revelation that assigns all or most of the prophecy to the future, shortly before the second coming of Christ; especially when interpreted in conjunction with the Bible’s books of: Matthew, Daniel, Isaiah 2:11-22, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-5:11, and other eschatological sections of the Bible.

Matthew 24: 1 – 35 & the End Times World Conditions

The following verses in Matthew reveal what some of the world conditions will be at the time of Jesus’s Second Coming.

Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ, and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains (Matthew 24: 4-8).

When will all this happen? (Ancient Hebrew & Babylonian Calendars)

In Hebrew Scriptures, the number 7 represents perfection and completeness; 7 X 70 equals 490-a number depicting “ultimate completion.” It must be remembered that the entire Jewish system was designed under a system of sevens. There were seven days in a week, the seventh day being the Sabbath. Every seventh year was to be a Sabbath year when no crops were to be planted or harvested. After seven sets of seven years (or seven Sabbath years) the Israelites were to celebrate The Year of Jubilee.

Time – A Perfect Circle

In contrast to our calendar, a biblical or prophetic year is made up of 12 months each comprising 30 days to make a total of 360 days – the number of degrees in a circle. This biblical time system represents the mechanics of a perfect solar system. The earth revolves around the sun every 360 days and the moon revolves around the sun every 30 days. Biblical time is laid out for us in beauty and truth according to the mathematics and geometry of a Holy God (Genesis 7 & 8, and Revelation 12). Both the ancient Hebrews to whom Daniel was writing and the ancient Babylonians used a 360-day year calendar.

Daniel’s Seventy “Sevens” & the End Time Calendar

Many Bible scholars believe that the prophet Daniel predicted the First and the Second Coming of Christ in the following verses.

Daniel 9:24-27: “Seventy ‘Sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ’sevens,’ and sixty-two ’sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. After the sixty-two ’sevens,’ the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. He will confirm a covenant with many for one ’seven.’ In the middle of the ’seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.”

Some bible scholars believe that the “decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem,” occurred in 445 B.C. when the edict decree of Artaxerxes Longimanus was issued (Nehemiah 20), and that this event started the “seven ’sevens,’ and sixty-two ’sevens” or 69 sevens (483 biblical years). They believe that 69 of the 70 Sevens terminated when (Jesus) the Anointed One rode into Jerusalem on a donkey in 33 A.D. (Matthew 21: 1-4), predicting the First Coming of Christ as a political leader.

Many bible scholars interpret the “decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem,” as occurring in 1948, when the modern nation of Israel was formed, and Jerusalem could again be rebuilt. With the threat of Terrorism affecting Israel and the whole world, they believe that Daniel’s “time of trouble” has already arrived, but it will not fully manifest itself until the 7 year period of Tribulation begins (Daniel 12:1). When applied as years, the final 70 years in Daniel’s Seven Seventies – yields the date: 2011 AD: (1948 + 70 = 2018 minus the 7 years of tribulation = 2011). Some consider adding approximately 12 months for the tribulation to begin to estimate the Second Coming of Christ as a political leader as being some time in the year 2012.

7 Jewish Festivals or Feasts of Israel (Prophetic Appointed Times)

The Hebrew word for “Feasts” translates into “Appointed Times” with God-at HIS Feasts (Lev. 23: 2, 4, 37 and 44). Many bible scholars believe that the following 7 annual Jewish Feasts or Holidays also represent prophetic time periods in history:

1. The Feast of Passover – represents Jesus’s Crucifixion in 32 A.D.
2. The Feast of Unleavened Bread – represents Jesus’s Burial in 32 A.D.
3. The Feast of First Fruits – represents Jesus’s Resurrection in 32 A.D.
4. The Feast of Weeks – represents the beginning of the Church Age in 32 A.D.
5. The Feast of Trumpets – represents the present age – for gentiles to be evangelized.
6. The Feast of Atonement – represents the Day of Judgment.
7. The Feast of Tabernacles -represents the New Heavens and the New Earth, and begins the Year of Jubilee.

Some believe that the End Time events of the last three feasts will be based on the prophetic nature of these Jewish holidays found in the bible. Considering this time clock, we are presently in the Fifth Feast of Trumpets (time period) – awaiting the Day of Judgment.

The Year of Jubilee and the Sevens

“Count off seven sabbaths of years-seven times seven years-so that the seven sabbaths of years amount to a period of forty-nine years. Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land. Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each one of you is to return to his family property and each to his own clan (Leviticus 25:8 -10).

The Coming of Melchizedek as Messiah

Then the “Day of Atonement” shall follow after the tenth jubilee period, when he shall atone for all the Sons of Light, and the people who are predestined to Melchizedek. (…) upon them (…) For this is the time decreed for the “Year of Melchizedek`s favor”, and by his might he will judge God’s holy ones and so establish a righteous kingdom, as it is written about him in the Songs of David; “A godlike being has taken his place in the council of God; in the midst of divine beings he holds judgement” (Dead Sea Scrolls, 11Q13, Col.2).

Some bible scholars believe that the Year of Jubilee is also a prophetic appointed future time for the Messiah to return and take control of the earth. Some have calculated that the Seventh Millennium or tenth Jubilee technically began in September 1999, and that if you add 3 and 1/2 years to that – in 2012, we will be 3 & 1/2 years into the 7 Years of Great Tribulation (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:21).

Discussion

The purpose in writing this article is not to stimulate predictions and calculations about dates, but to warn us to be prepared for the real possibility of these predictions coming true.

Jesus said that, “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father…… “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him (Matthew 24:36-44).

Although we will not know the exact day or hour, we should be able to forecast the signs of the times. Most “futurist view” bible scholars would agree that the end will not come until three more “End Time” events occur:

1. The False Prophet will appear as the world religious leader (Rev.13 1-10);
2. The Antichrist will appear as the world political leader (Rev. 19:20); and
3. The Abomination of Desolation will occur (Daniel 12:11, Matthew 24:15, Revelation 13:5).

I believe that our Lord Jesus Christ the 7-Dimensional God will return as the messiah in the Order of Melchizedek to fill the dual offices of King of Kings and Priest of God Most High.

I believe that 2012 will be a spiritual wake up call for humanity, but our God will not return until His people have prepared themselves to be a “Priesthood of Believers,” a Holy Nation and a Royal Priesthood to receive him by practicing what he taught us concerning the “New Covenant.” The Old Testament idea of the Levitical priest being the mediator between God and man was only necessary until the death of Jesus Christ.

So why do we continue to have Levitical type church leadership structures (Priest/ Parishioner, Clergy/ Laity, and Pastor/ Congregation)?

Why do we continue to have Levitical style worship in temples, cathedrals, and mega-church buildings?

Jesus came the First Time to reestablish the New Covenant in which ALL BELIEVERS are to become a Holy Nation and Royal Priesthood (1 Peter 2:9, Revelation 5:10). Christ, our High Priest has given us the ministry of mediation (Heb. 7:25) and He gives ALL BELIEVERS the right to become priests in the Order of Melchizedek.

Jesus came the First Time to move us away from Levitical style (temple/ church) leadership. He came to move us into the Melchizedek Priesthood where ALL BELIEVERS from every nation, tribe, people, language, culture, religious background, and gender (Jew, Gentile, Hindu, Chinese, Buddhist, Moslem, men and women, etc.) qualify to become the priests of their families and homes.

I think that Jesus will not come the Second Time until he sees evidence of HIS church practicing the New Covenant. The Great Multitude in white robes (Rev. 7:9) are a Royal Priesthood of families and a Holy Nation of homes from every nation, tribe, people, and language. The question is not when will these end time prophecies occur, but will you be one of these believers that have come out of the Great Tribulation (Rev. 7:14).

My intent in writing this article is not to persuade, influence, convince, or convert anyone to my personal beliefs, but to increase respect and religious tolerance for people of all nations and cultures.

Which Fish Contain Omega 3 – Which Should Be Avoided?

Shopping in the supplement aisle at the store can be daunting. If you want to know which fish contain omega 3, you will find lots of choices. The real questions are what else is in them and how much should you eat?

Both omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids are a vital part of our immune system. Ideally they should be in a one-to-one ratio. In the Western world, that is unlikely to happen. Omega 6s are part of vegetable oils, processed foods, salad dressings etc. Because of this overload, the typical consumer is saturated with this vital but easily available nutrient.

While we want to know which fish contain omega 3, we also need to know the omega 6 levels in each species. The seafood with the best ratios are salmon, tuna, hoki, mackerel, herring and rainbow trout. Shrimp and oysters are also good. Sardines and anchovies can be high in sodium.

Stay away form the larger predators like sharks or swordfish. Most omega 3s come from the algae at the bottom of the food chain. As you get higher in the chain, the fatty acid content gets higher but so does the level of all the ocean contaminants. Unfortunately, this also affects most of the species that I mentioned earlier.

Another alternative is fish farms. Norway alone has 800 of them. Since the fish are away from their natural food chain they have to rely on the pellets they are fed for nutrients – not natural algae. They may not have as many ocean toxins like mercury, but they have to contend with viruses and parasites that spread rapidly in crowded conditions.

Here are two bits of information.

1] The FDA suggests a maximum of two servings of fish per week.

2] A recent [2010] study of 357 Yup’ik Eskimos, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that high blood levels of fish omega 3 fats corresponded to extremely low cardiovascular and immune system disorders.

The Eskimos may be at risk of mercury poisoning but are very unlikely to have a heart attack, arthritis or clinical depression.

Toxins versus benefits. We seem to between a rock and a hard place. To get anywhere near the levels of fats the Eskimos had, we have to either eat a lot of seafood daily, or get a quality supplement.

The best ones are pollutant free and can prove it. The others just make claims. The question is still which fish contain omega 3. My supplement has lots of them. It is derived from local catches of hoki which swim in the Southern Ocean by New Zealand – one of the least toxic areas on the planet.

How To Read Jewelry Marks

The number markings on precious gold jewelry are a bit of confusion to lots of people. We are generally used to seeing a karat or silver mark like this: 10K, 14K, 18K, Sterling, etc. The numbers mean the same thing.

For 14k the number is technically 583 but most manufacturers adopted the European way and make 14k gold a tiny bit over 14k, so the mark is 585 in most 14k jewelry. 18K is marked 750. If the mark is valid and there is a makers mark also in the jewelry, the number means these items are 18k gold.

Here is where the numbers come from. Pure gold is called 24 karat. For 18k gold, there are 18 parts of pure gold mixed with other metals to make the metal suitable for use in jewelry. 24k is too soft alone to stand up or to hold stones well. 18 parts pure gold divided by 24, or 18/24 equals 750. That is where the number comes from. The jewelry is 75% pure gold, 750 parts gold with 250 parts other metals out of “1000″ parts. It is easier to think of it as a percent which is pure gold in the recipe.

Sterling silver is marked 925. Sterling is 92.5% pure silver and the rest is other metal, generally copper.

What does it mean if the ring marked 14K PR? The 14K simply means it is 14K (Karat) gold and because of the K means it would have been made in either South East Asia or The United States. The PR marks are just the Maker or Store ID or even a design mark, and have no relevence to the Value.

The basic decimal formula to work out the quality of gold content is quite simple, as they are all measured in ‘Parts per Thousand.’ This means that 9ct gold is calculated like this: 9 (for 9ct) is divided by pure gold (24) and then multiplied by 1000 (for pure gold as a decimal). ie: 9/24*1000=375 That 375 is the decimal quality for 9ct gold and is sometimes shown with a decimal point in front – .375

The old Victorian standard of 15ct gold is calculated the same way – 15/24*1000 = 625 (Not quite the numbers you have on your jewelry. Dental gold is 16ct or 666 recurring. But you can also reverse this formula by starting with the decimal and working back. ie: 375/1000*24 = 9

In your case we can use 698/1000*24 = almost 17ct

I have a platinum engagement ring and found a wedding ring that I really like but the band is made of palladium. Is it safe to wear these two metals together without one damaging the other?

It will wear the softer metal OVER TIME but that could take many years. My Grandmothers wedding ring eventually wore away the band of her engagement ring but it took over 20 years to do.

Platinum and Palladium and quite good together but I would take the advice of your local friendly jeweler and have them check both rings. Sometimes the Platinum may be a lower grade in order to make it harder – so have that checked.

Misleading Theories Of Mainstream Medical And Nutritional Science

It is unfortunate that mainstream medical and nutritional science base their theories not so much on the basic processes that occurs in the body, but rather on the contents of food. This can be very misleading, to say the least. We are being told, for example, that when we lack calcium we should drink milk because it contains a lot of calcium. We are not being told, however, that in order to digest and metabolize milk calcium, we must first dispose of the phosphorus contained in milk. To process and remove the phosphorus, though, we require calcium. Since there is more phosphorus in milk than there is calcium, the bones, teeth and muscles have to supply the extra calcium. This fact alone makes milk a major calcium-depleting food. Loss of calcium can cause osteoporosis and such diseases as Crohn’s and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, diabetes, heart disease, respiratory ailments and cancer.

The above principle can be applied to almost everything else we believe is so good for us. Giving vitamins to people with vitamin deficiencies can make their bodies even more deficient. Those lacking in Omega-3 fats don’t necessarily gain them by eating these fats in the form of fish oils, fish or linseeds. People whose digestive functions have been impaired do not suddenly make better use of certain foods or nutrients simply because they begin to eat more of them.

Just because fish has good things in it does not mean that the body can actually absorb and make use of them. (One must, of course, ignore the mercury or other metals they absorb from the sea, lakes and rivers, or the antibiotics, coloring agents and other food additives that farmed fish are fed.) Fish has to be rich in nutrients otherwise we wouldn’t have whales, dolphins and bears, or any life at all on this planet. This doesn’t mean, though, that everything nutritious that exists in nature should also appear on our dinner plate.

Once a fish or an animal has been killed, the oxygen supply to the cells is cut off. This immediately starts the process of cell-destruction through intracellular enzymes. Unless you eat the fish or chicken right away after it dies, and yes, raw, most of what you will get is degenerated and putrefied protein. Unless treated with carcinogenic coloring agents, a piece of meat will start to look greenish/gray in a matter of hours. To make matters worse, the baking, roasting or frying of meat, fish, eggs and poultry applies enough heat to cause any proteins that may still be intact to coagulate. Think of a raw egg that has been boiled or fried. The liquid egg quickly becomes hard and stiff. The protein molecules lose their three-dimensional structure and are destroyed as they are exposed to the heat.

The body cannot utilize coagulated protein for cell-building. Rather, it is treated as a pathogen or disease-causing agent by the body. As a result, these now toxic foods may, at best, stimulate the immune system in the small intestine and initially induce a strong eliminative response in the large intestine. The immune response makes you feel energized, and you may think it is because of eating the animal foods, but this is far from the truth. Deceiving as it may be, with each immune response, the body actually becomes weaker; more liver bile ducts get clogged with stones and the cardiovascular system becomes increasingly congested as more and more proteins are deposited in the blood vessel walls. These are the most common causes of chronic illness.

Eating meat also stimulates the body’s growth hormones and male hormones, which can lead to the overgrowth of tissues. Many young men today are extra large, very tall, and have bulging muscles, something you rarely see in most regions of Asia, South America and Africa, where meat is scarce and plant foods plentiful. Having an oversized, bulky body is a great disadvantage, for it can predispose one to diabetes, heart disease and other physical as well as mental problems later in life. Besides, a lot of energy is lost in maintaining large muscles, which can reduce one’s lifespan considerably.

As is the case with the strongest animals in the world, e.g. the elephant, water buffalo, giraffe, horse, cow, gorilla and orangutan, humans don’t need to eat protein in order to produce and make it available to the cells in the body. A healthy newborn baby triples its size and the number of protein-packed cells within its first 16 months, without ever eating any protein foods at all. You might object here by saying: “But isn’t mother’s milk filled with protein?” Not by a long shot! Human breast milk contains only a trace of protein, namely 1.1 – 1.6 grams per 100 grams of milk. Most of the healthy children in the world don’t receive any food other than mother’s milk during their first year. With breast milk containing, let’s say, 1.4 percent protein, this is by far not enough to account for a baby’s 15 pound weight increase within the first year.

By design, humans and most other non-carnivorous animals don’t depend on eating protein foods to make or maintain their muscles, cells and organs. Actually, all of us derive the most essential nutrients we need from the air we breathe, right from the first breath we take. Everyone knows that in order to live we need oxygen molecules from the air, but very few of us know that we also need and make use of the nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen molecules with which the air is saturated. These four molecules are the ingredients that make up every amino acid in the body and anywhere else on the planet. Our DNA and the liver are perfectly able to synthesize these molecules into amino acids and complete proteins. The brain produces billions of neuropeptides (peptides consist of amino acids) each day. The trillions of enzymes the body makes are also made of proteins. Similarly, most hormones in the body are made of pure protein.

A protein deficiency occurs only in people whose liver, respiratory and immune functions are seriously impaired, or who eat too much protein. This is because excess proteins that accumulate in the basal membranes of the blood capillaries actually inhibit protein supplies from reaching the cells. Personally, I have not eaten any concentrated protein foods, e.g. fish, meat, chicken, cheese, milk or eggs, during my 35 years of adulthood, and my body has hardly aged during all those years (being 54 years old at the time of writing this). On the other hand, I have seen thousands of people who have aged prematurely or suffered debilitating illnesses because of eating too much protein. At no other time in human history has humankind consumed so much meat and other concentrated protein foods as today.

The Pitta body type is especially susceptible to becoming poisoned by protein foods, such as meat, fish and cheese. Their ability to digest these foods is very limited. Naturally, the body doesn’t want to digest something it doesn’t need and cannot make use of. Using this example, I recommend you to be extremely cautious about taking the advice of any person or institution that persists in handing out general food guidelines without regard to a person’s individual body type and physical condition, if applicable.

It is also worth noting that carnivorous animals have an unlimited capacity to handle saturated fats and cholesterol. Dogs, for example, who received one half pound of butterfat with their daily ration of meat for two years, showed no signs of damage to their arteries or change of their serum cholesterol. By contrast, the purely vegetation-eating rabbits quickly developed arteriosclerosis when fed meat or as little as 2 grams of cholesterol daily. Humans, too, have a very limited capacity to digest and process meat proteins and meat fats. If you placed a hungry child into a cage with a chunk of meat on one side and an apple on the other, which of the two do you believe the infant would choose to eat? That’s correct, it would choose the apple! Place a lion cub in the same cage, and you will see the cub heading straight toward the meat. If we only listened to our basic instincts, and not to the food industry’s advertising slogans, we would discover that meat was never meant for humans.

Blue-Green Algae: Wonder Food or Waste of Money?

Algae ranges from microscopic organisms to 180′ long seaweed. More than 200 species have been used as food since prehistoric times in virtually every country that has a coastline. It has also been used widely as fertilizer. Algae are abundant, high in minerals, and depending on the species, a good source of protein, carbohydrates, fiber, essential fatty acids and vitamins.

The microscopic algae growing in cold waters (oceans) contain the essential omega-3 fatty acids, but you can’t eat them; they are eaten by zooplankton, which are in turn consumed by larger and larger shellfish or fish, and fish-eating birds and mammals. So you get their benefit when you eat cold-water fish and shellfish.

Blue-green algae grown in fresh-water lakes can be harvested easily because they collect in large amounts on the surface (”pond scum”) and can be skimmed off. They do not contain the omega-3 fatty acids that are found in the cold-water species. They do contain protein, vitamins and minerals, but not in any greater amounts than that found in many other ordinary foods. Ancient tribes in South and Central America harvested the algae from their lakes, dried it in bricks and ate it in large amounts, not in tiny pills. You need to eat a pound of blue-green algae to equal, say, a pound of soybeans.

That’s why it makes no sense to buy blue-green algae in pills. A pound of dried soybeans costs 89 cents; a pound of dried blue-green algae in pill form costs over $1000. Blue-green algae does not contain any “miracle” substances and has not been shown to cure anything – despite the claims of its advertisers.

Large algae (seaweed) has more fiber and carbohydrates, and less protein, than the microscopic algae, and is also a good source of minerals and some vitamins. It’s available in Asian markets, and can be a tasty addition to soups or stews.

Microscopic algae and seaweed harvested from polluted waters will contain the toxins found in the water, so unless you harvest it yourself and know the water is clean, algae is not a food you want to eat in large amounts.

Wrinkling Skin – Find Out How to Have Younger-Looking, Healthy Skin Again

One of the worst outward signs of getting older is wrinkling skin and bags under the eyes, but help is at hand with natural ingredients proven to remove wrinkles and return your youthful glow, you just need to look a little harder to find them.

With the famous name brands being expensive and never living up to their promises, it is refreshing to find a natural solution, free from harmful chemicals, that actually over-delivers on its promises for a change to help with wrinkling skin and the other signs of aging.

A recent breakthrough in anti aging skin care by a New Zealand based company has resulted in Cynergy TK, the most effective natural ingredient on the planet for removing wrinkles. It is an extract from the wool of sheep and will actually boost your collagen and elastin production to levels not seen since your youth.

Collagen and elastin as you may know, are the proteins responsible for keeping your skin young-looking and firm, and as you grow older their production decreases. All the creams and lotions containing collagen cannot work as the molecules are too large to penetrate the skin, so no actual benefit is gained. Don’t fall for it!

Studies show a sustained 14% improvement in skin moisture retention over 18 days and a sustained improvement in skin elasticity of 42% over 18 days, showing how wrinkling and lines start to disappear in weeks, not months.

Phytessence wakame is another great one, being an extract of Japanese sea kelp and overflowing with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to drench your skin in goodness. This nourishes deep down, helping to return the elasticity and firmness to your skin whilst healing any irritated and dry areas.

These are just two of the amazing ingredients I have discovered during my research and the most effective ones too, helping to promote good health in the process, which is a rare feat indeed.

So if you are despairing at your wrinkling skin, you now know the effective ingredients to look for to help return your youthful glow with softer and more supple skin, and who knows, perhaps soon you can look as young on the outside as you feel on the inside.

Visit my site today to learn more about these amazing natural substances and why I choose to use them daily.
