The Word of God provides you with specific details about our future and all of these things are coming to pass in this generation. If you aren’t saved yet this is a must read! The Last Chronicles of Planet Earth April 8, 2016 Edition written by Frank DiMora.
By now everyone should know America is in another election cycle. Let us take a look at one of the people who is running for the highest office in the land. Let us take a look a Hillary Clinton. What ever has happened to honesty? When you watch the video below you will see for yourself Hillary will say anything to get elected even if she knows people can prove what she is saying is a lie? Fact is she just doesn’t care because, she knows there are people who will vote for her no matter what lies she pours out of her mouth. Another sad fact everyone must keep in mind is people won’t check out what candidates say or what their record has been in the past. Maybe just maybe if people knew what a candidate has preached in the past they would see what the candidate is really all about. Watch the video and you will see the real Hillary Clinton.
Haven’t we had enough of corrupt people running our country? Is anyone sick of the lies you are hearing and seeing coming from those who are running the government and from those who seek power in January? Does anyone want to help speed up the last day signs and the entrance of the Antichrist so we can finally witness the second coming of Jesus Christ? If you do want to speed things up I have the perfect way to speed things up. Since we know Satan is the Father of LIES (SEE). John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Now that you know Satan is the Father of lies let me get back to the Hillary who has taken up the role of speaking lies. Look at how long Clinton had worked in the White House and look at where America is right now. She worked with Obama and out of the Obama Administration America is at the worse debt she has every seen and she was part of why America is on the verge of collapsing. Now Clinton wants to run the White House to do what? She wants to give the kitchen sick away in what she calls her progressive views. What we know from Obama is that if America stays on course she will collapse from the massive debt which can not be paid off. Go ahead and vote for Hillary and let Hillary pick up where Obama left off and in a short period of time America’s economy will collapse. I think Obama is glad he is leaving office because when America’s currency dies he can blame it all on Hillary.
There is no way America can survive much longer by giving millions of America all their entitlements they have been getting for free. The number of people getting these entitlements has gotten so large that those working to pay for all the free programs can not sustain them much longer. So, go ahead and elect Hillary because as long as the USA is the main world power I can not see how the Antichrist can take his role as head of the entire world economy. However, when you see the U.S. dollar die, when you see the U.S. reserve currency fall America will find itself holding money that isn’t worth the paper it was printed on. Just ask people living in Greece, Venezuela, or Puerto Rico what their currency looks like as their debt is about to bring them all crashing down. What have you seen from Greece, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico? You have seen people in despair, people running on the banks and, riots. When America crashes this is what you will see in America.
Think this can not happen in America? Look at the past and the great depression, people living back then didn’t think they would face what they faced but on Black Friday all that changed in one day. The same thing is heading toward America again. There are now to many holes in the dam. The water is leaking out faster than their are leaders fingers to stop the leaks. Let me give you another example how how fast things can change in a nation of wealth! Let us take a look at what is currently happening in Saudi Arabia when it comes to their currency power. Let us keep in mind Saudi Arabia has been one of the most wealthy nations on the planet for years! However, things are changing as you can see from the quotes from a USA Today report from yesterday. “Saudi Arabia’s reputation for sterling finances encountered a setback Tuesday as Fitch Ratings downgraded the country’s credit ratings. The downgrades follow the crushing decline in oil prices, which has battered the country’s fiscal picture even as it continues to pump out petroleum at a steady clip. The agency downgraded Saudi Arabia’s long-term and local-currency issuer ratings from AA to AA- and left the outlook for both ratings at negative, signaling possible future downgrades.” “But that strategy is coming at a cost for Saudi Arabia. Oil’s slide triggered a gaping budget deficit of 14.8% of gross domestic profit in 2015, up from 2.3% a year earlier, according to Fitch. Fitch said that hole would “narrow only marginally” this year.”

In closing let me say the time is ripe for Hillary to be elected. She will be the perfect lying women who can dupe America in thinking she can keep giving away the world and take care of all those Americans getting hand outs without America crashing. She will be the perfect women who can bring down America which in turn will have a ripple effect on the rest of the nations to the point where we will finally see a worldwide economic crash that will cause the rise of the Antichrist. Do you think I am blowing smoke? If so vote for Hillary set back and watch America go down!

Headline: Passover Sacrifice to be reenacted facing Temple Mount next week
The public reenactment of the Passover Sacrifice, which has become a popular spring-time event over the past few years, will be getting closer to the actual site of the Temple Mount next week. This year’s reenactment may prove to be an even more festive event than ever, as many new participants are planning to arrive from all parts of the country. The past Paschal Reenactments were held in a school courtyard which became more cramped each year due to the growing popularity of the important event. For this reason the organizers decided to move the event this year to the more spacious location of Mitzpeh Beit Orot, between Mount Scopus and the Mount of Olives, near Emek Tzurim, which faces Judaism’s holiest and most relevant site for the occasion, the Temple Mount. The reenactment will take place next Monday, just four days before the prescribed time of the Paschal Offering.

Headline: Pentagon wants drones to replace some US troops in Sinai
The Pentagon wants to cut the number of US peacekeeping troops in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, partly because of the growing threat from ISIS group, an official said Tuesday. About 700 US troops participate in a UN operation established after Israel and Egypt signed a 1979 peace deal and agreed for a Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) mission to monitor compliance. The mission has historically been somewhat low-key, but in recent months attacks from ISIS militants have put forces on a state of constant high alert. In September for instance, a roadside bombing injured six peacekeepers including four Americans. Pentagon spokesman Navy Captain Jeff Davis said the Pentagon remains “fully committed” to the MFO mission but wants to use drones and other high-tech tools to assume some of the riskier work. “I don’t think anyone is talking about a wholesale withdrawal, I think we are just going to look at the number of people we have there and see if there are functions that can be automated,” Davis said. Defense Secretary Ash Carter and other US officials have begun “formal conversations” with Israel and Egypt, Davis added. US officials are also considering moving some US and international troops into a camp in the southern Sinai, far from their current base — called El-Gorah — near the Gaza Strip.

Headline: As Palestinians head back to the UN, cause for concern in Israel
Headline: Abbas: Urgent need for action on Israeli settlements
Unlike last time Israel faced a hostile resolution at the United Nations Security Council, in December 2014, this time there is virtually no chance that it will fail to garner the required majority. That means that the key to fending off the latest Palestinian attempt to get Israel condemned at the UN’s most important body lies with US President Barack Obama. He will be in the awkward position of having to either veto a resolution despite agreeing with its content, or to abstain or support it, thus further alienating America’s staunchest ally in the Middle East and allowing political opponents at home to portray his party as anti-Israel. The plan to bring another anti-settlement resolution to the Security Council is thus slated to become a veritable litmus test of US-Israel relations, nearly half a year before America elects a new president. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to use his trip later this month to the UN in New York — where is slated to attend a signing ceremony for the historic climate agreement reached in Paris in December — to launch yet another attempt to get the UN to condemn Israel’s actions in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Headline: Jordanian police shut Muslim Brotherhood headquarters
Police in Jordan sealed the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood in Amman on Wednesday, a senior figure in the Islamist movement said, as the authorities clamp down further on the kingdom’s most vocal opposition group. The Brotherhood, which is close in ideology to its Egyptian namesake and has strong ties with the Palestinian movement Hamas, wants sweeping political reforms but stops short of calling for the overthrow of the monarchy. Police acting on orders of the Amman governor evacuated staff and closed off the building, giving no reason for their actions, said the Brotherhood senior member, Jamil Abu Bakr. Government spokespeople and police were not immediately available for comment.

An explosion just outside the southern Lebanese city of Sidon on Tuesday killed a local Palestinian security official amid tensions between the main Palestinian faction and extremist groups. The blast instantly killed the official, a member of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah group. Lebanese officials identified the man as Fathi Zeidan, Fatah’s security chief in the refugee camp of Mieh Mieh, which is located near Sidon. The explosion occurred after a security meeting in Mieh Mieh that was attended by Zeidan, during which the bomb was believed to have been placed inside his car. The bomb weighed nearly 1 kg and the force of the blast destroyed Zeidan’s car and scattered his remains. The Lebanese Armed Forces issued a statement, saying the bomb was placed inside the BMW and adding that an investigation was underway.

Headline: Suicide bomber kills 5 Yemen Army recruits in Aden
A suicide bomber suspected of belonging to Al-Qaeda terrorist group killed five Yemeni soldiers when he detonated his explosive belt Tuesday among army recruits in Aden, a security official said. The man mixed in with a group of recruits as they headed to their base in the southern city which serves as a temporary capital for the government, the official said. Army and government installations have been the target of several attacks by extremists since the Saudi-led coalition launched a brutal offensive against Yemen in March 2015. Al-Qaeda and the so-called ‘Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’ (ISIL) takfiri group have taken advantage of the chaos caused by the Saudi-US war on Yemen to strengthen their grip on southern region of the country.

Headline: Analysis: Saudi-Egypt deals part of Gulf effort to unite Sunnis against Iran
Headline: Sisi defends strategic island transfer to Saudis
Recently signed agreements between Saudi Arabia and Egypt appear to be part of a broader Saudi effort to build a regional Sunni alliance against Iran, yet the results of such an alliance are still lacking. The Saudi-led coalition battling the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, moves by Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states to crack down on Hezbollah, and Gulf funding to Syrian rebels, are the strongest actions taken to date against the Iranian led Shi’ite alliance. However, in terms of a broad military alliance that could prove effective against Iran and its allies, Saudi success is debatable. In what appears to be part of this alliance building, Saudi King Salman continued on from his visit to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Saudi Deputy Crown Prince and Defense Minister Mohammed bin Salman visited Jordan’s King Abdullah on Monday, jointly rejecting Iranian interference in the region’s affairs and igniting sectarian strife, the Saudi Gazette reported. Israel is not opposed to the return of two Red Sea islands from Egypt to Saudi Arabia or the plan to build a bridge connecting the two Arab countries, because it sees the Arabs trying to unite against the Iranian threat.

After three days of fighting with rebels in Aleppo that started in the northern suburbs and spread to towns and villages north of the Syrian city, ISIS fighters captured the areas of Tel Ahmar, Tel Shaeer and Shaheen farms on Wednesday. The rebels from the al-Sham organization suffered heavy losses in the fighting, with more than 70 dead and over 150 wounded who were mostly left behind and taken prisoner by ISIS. The terrorist organization also captured the village of al-Raee, located on the Turkish border about 30 kilometers from Aleppo. ISIS is now trying to capture the city of al-Bab on the road from Aleppo to the Syrian border city of Jarablus in an attempt to create a supply corridor east of Aleppo and achieve military superiority in the area. Jarablus is a main point of entry for foreign fighters who come to Syria to join the terrorist organization.

Syria Headline: Russian aircraft shot down despite ‘President-S’ system
The Russian Defense Ministry announced on April 12 “the crash of a Russian Mi-28H attack helicopter near the city of Homs“ the previous night. The two pilots were killed in the crash, and their bodies were recovered by Russian special forces who transferred them to Hmeimim airbase in northern Syria. The ministry asserted that “the helicopter was not shot down” but debkafile’s intelligence and aviation sources doubt that claim. The helicopter that crashed in Homs was the fourth Russian-made military aircraft to be shot down during the last 30 days by advanced shoulder-fired antiaircraft missiles possessed by the Nusra Front, ISIS and other groups of fighters. The speculation that terrorist organizations in Syria, and apparently in Iraq, possess such missiles capable of overcoming the defenses of Russian aircraft became reality when the Mi-28H helicopter was shot down on April 11. The aircraft is equipped with the most advanced defensive system of its kind, the President-S, which is resistant to active and passive jamming.

Iraq Headline: Iraqi government in final throes of collapse?
A hundred members of Iraq’s parliament held a sit-in on Wednesday, demanding that the volatile country’s president, prime minister and parliamentary speaker all be removed. The parliamentary sit-in comes after a vote on a cabinet reshuffle the day before on Tuesday turned chaotic, amid outrage over how Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s promises to reform the government appear unlikely to happen, reports The New Arab. Abadi had promised to form a technocratic government based on qualified candidates, and not one controlled by political blocs in a sectarian quota system according to which ministerial posts and seats are allocated along Shia, Sunni and Kurdish sectarian lines. But on Monday the prime minister signed a pledge with the heads of leading political parties, promising to consult them in forming a new government in what critics called a declaration to keep the status quo. In the shadow of popular protests on the street, opposing MPs on Tuesday charged that the new lineup of ministers presented by Abadi was merely a continuation of the sectarian quota system which has led to rampant corruption. The MPs called for an emergency meeting on Wednesday to explore ways of removing Abadi, the president and parliamentary speaker, and on Wednesday staged their sit-in to demand a change in the government.

Iraq Headline: Islamic State destroys gates of Nineveh near Mosul
The Islamic State destroyed a 2,000-year-old ancient structure near the Iraqi city of Mosul called the Mashqi Gate, also known as the Gate of God. The Mashqi Gate in the ancient Assyrian city of Nineveh dated back to the 7th century B.C. during the rule of Sennacherib, former king of Assyria. Nineveh was once one of the largest cities in the world and is referenced in the Bible. The Islamic State reportedly used military equipment to destroy the gate. A source from the British Institute for the Study of Iraq confirmed to The Independent that the gate had been attacked. The militant Islamist group has made a habit of razing and destroying cities, and ancient cultural icons in the territories it acquires. In the ancient city of Palmyra in Syria, the Islamic State immediately began demolishing ancient ruins considered among the world’s most treasured when it seized control in May last year.

At least six Iraqi soldiers were wounded in an assault carried out by the Islamic State (ISIS) militants in western Makhmour, a Kurdish Peshmerga official told Rudaw on Wednesday. “On Wednesday afternoon ISIS launched an assault on the Iraqi army in Nasr village, northern Makhmour front,” Sirwan Barzani, the Peshmerga commander of the Gwer-Makhmour region, told Rudaw. “ISIS used a car bomb for the attack and wounded six Iraqi soldiers in the process,” Barzani explained. The Peshmerga commander said fierce fighting between ISIS and Iraqi army lasted an hour-and-a-half. Last week the Iraqi army announced that the anticipated offensive to liberate al-Nasr village from ISIS had been postponed. Bashdar Aziz, a deputy commander in the Iraqi Army, said a multitude of problems were undermining their ability to effectively launch an offensive to retake al-Nasr. Despite the fact they are being provided with air support by the US-led coalition and artillery fire support from a US Marine base on the Makhmour front.

The security sources said operations in Sirnak province and in neighboring Iraq and Syria had been stepped up and that gunfire and explosions could be heard in the area where earlier one soldier was killed and three others wounded. A soldier was also killed and four wounded in an explosion in Daglica, a village in Hakkari province near the Iranian border, during clashes with the PKK, the army said. Two soldiers were also killed during clashes with the PKK in the border town of Nusaybin near Syria, the army said in a statement later on Tuesday.

Iran has resumed financial support for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, months after it withdrew support in retaliation for the group’s reluctance to openly back the Islamic Republic, an Islamic Jihad official told Breitbart Jerusalem. The official said that the support is much lower than before. At its zenith, Iran gave Islamic Jihad tens of millions of dollars a year, but now will only allow the cash-strapped movement to balance its books for the foreseeable future. The official would not disclose whether the resumed support is dependent on turning up the heat on Israel, only saying that the aid was renewed unconditionally. He also said that Iran remains a staunch supporter of another radical faction in Gaza, Al Sabireen. “Iran made it clear that the smaller sums are a function of the fact that armed resistance against Israel is taking place on a smaller scale, and that much of the country’s outreach resources are invested in Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon,” he said. “There’s no doubt that the lifting of the sanctions is behind all this, but it’s nowhere near the sums we were used to.” He also said that if Egypt and Saudi Arabia move even closer to each other, and Egypt openly backs Saudi regional strategies, Iran will increase its support for Palestinian militias in Gaza as leverage against Egypt.

Jihadist groups operating in the West African country of Mali have launched a spate of attacks in the northern portion of the country in recent days. Many of these assaults targeted UN forces operating there, however, one targeted French special forces who are in the country as part of France’s Operation Barkhane. The French special forces soldier, identified as Mickael Poo-Sing by the French military, was killed near the northern town of Tessalit yesterday when his vehicle hit an IED. Three other French soldiers were killed in the blast. While this is the only attack in the area that targeted French forces, it is not the only ambush to occur in recent days. In addition to the IED on the French in Tessalit, a UN vehicle also hit a roadside bomb just north of Aguelhok reportedly killing two. While in the city of Aguelhok, a Chadian soldier stepped on a landmine according to local sources. Days earlier on April 9, Ansar Dine, which is a front for al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), claimed two bombings on the Aguelhok-Tessalit axis just north of the city of Kidal. The first, which occurred on April 7, the Tuareg jihadist group claimed targeting Chadian forces with an IED near the town of Taghlit. The next day, according to Ansar Dine, the jihadists did the same to an unspecified UN vehicle in the same area. Jihadist forces also directed their attention to civilian enemies, as well. Near the Algerian border town of Bordj Badji Mokhtar, a Tessalit government official was reportedly assassinated by jihadists two days ago.

Jihadists seeking to align with ISIS execute two hostages, as fighting between gov’t, Muslim separatists rages on. Philippine terrorists that want to ally with Islamic State jihadists have beheaded two local hostages, police said Wednesday. Police on the southern island of Mindanao recovered the decapitated corpses of the two men on Tuesday, nine days after they were taken, said the police chief of Lanao del Sur province. “Salvador Hanobas and Jemark Hanobas were beheaded by their abductors,” Senior Superintendent Rustom Duran told reporters by telephone. “Locals brought the heads and the torsos to the mayor’s office.” It was unclear if the two victims were related. Duran said the kidnappers belonged to an Islamic terrorist group that battled government forces for a week in February, leaving three soldiers dead and forcing 20,000 people to flee their homes. Police found black flags identical to those flown by Islamic State jihadists in Iraq and Syria in the fighters’ hideout in the remote Mindanao town of Butig.

Indian authorities on Wednesday imposed a curfew in parts of Kashmir to stop fresh anti-India demonstrations following the killings of four people by Indian troops and a general strike called by separatists. The latest death occurred when a man was hit on his head by a tear gas shell fired by security forces and died in a hospital in the northern village of Drugmulla, police said. He was part of hundreds of rock-throwing protesters who clashed with government forces for a second straight day Wednesday as authorities enforced a curfew in Srinagar, Handwara and neighboring villages. The clashes occurred even as shops and schools were closed and streets deserted due to a security lockdown and a daylong strike call by separatist groups. Mehbooba Mufti, who recently took over as the top elected official in the Indian portion of Kashmir, said the killings would have a “negative impact” on her government’s peace efforts in the region. Police said a 70-year-old woman, who was hit by gunfire and was among a dozen injured during massive clashes between residents and government forces on Tuesday, died in a hospital Wednesday. Two others also died from army gunfire.

Wars & Rumors of Wars Matthew 24:6 , Revelation 6:3-4 & Revelation 6:8 “ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Revelation 6:3-4 speaks of the fiery red horse given power to make men slay one another and Revelation 6:8 speaks again of this red horse in conjunction with the pale horse of Death and Hades, as the one that has the power to kill by sword. Prophecy Sign: Weapons of Mass Destruction Zechariah 14:12 “And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.”

Headline: China to Meet with G-7 Diplomats about South China Sea
China has said G7 nations should “stop making irresponsible remarks” after foreign ministers released a statement on maritime territorial disputes. The ministers, meeting in Japan, said they opposed “any intimidating coercive or provocative unilateral actions” that could increase tension. China claims almost all the South China Sea and areas of the East China Sea, angering neighbours who have competing claims. It has also been reclaiming land. Experts say satellite images of the reclamation work could indicate that China may be steadily militarising the islands it is creating or expanding.

Headline: Russia jets make ‘simulated attack’ passes near US destroyer: US
Two Russian warplanes with no visible weaponry flew simulated attack passes near a U.S. guided missile destroyer in the Baltic Sea Tuesday, a U.S. official said, describing it as one of the most aggressive interactions in recent memory. The repeated flights by the Sukhoi SU-24 warplanes, which also flew near the ship a day earlier, were so close they created wake in the water, with 11 passes, the official said. A Russian KA-27 Helix helicopter also made seven passes around the USS Donald Cook, taking pictures. The nearest Russian territory was about 70 nautical miles away in its enclave of Kaliningrad, which sits between Lithuania and Poland. “They tried to raise them (the Russian aircraft) on the radio but they did not answer,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity, adding the U.S. ship was in international waters.

Economic collapse Revelation 6:5-6 & Daniel 2:41-43– Decline of the Euro “ When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” (Revelation) “Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.” (Daniel 2:41-43)
Headline: EU parliament chief warns of bloc’s ‘implosion,’ says people lost trust in ‘entire institutions’
Headline: IMF: Brexit would cause severe damage
Many people have lost trust in “entire institutions, whether national or European,” EU parliament Chief Martin Schulz says. He sounded the alarm over a possible “implosion of the EU” due to the underestimated Euroskeptic movements in member states. “Europe has been on a sliding slope for some time now. Many people’s trust in institutions, whether national or European, has gone,” Schulz said in an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper. “Hardly any of the governments is fighting to reach the hearts of the people,” Schulz said, blaming heads of states and administrations for the loss of confidence. There is a high risk of an “implosion of the EU,” Schulz added. “If the British leave the EU, there will be [other] demands for further escape referendums,” he warned.

Headline: IMF Warns of Possible ‘Spiral’ of Waning Growth, Escalating Debt
Headline: Saudi Arabia gets credit rating downgrade
Global policy makers need to guard against a self-reinforcing “spiral” of weakening growth and rising debt that could require a coordinated response by the world’s major economies, according to the IMF’s top fiscal watchdog. Most countries are on a higher debt path than they were a year ago, the International Monetary Fund said in its semi-annual Fiscal Monitor report released Wednesday. Fiscal deficits in 2015-2016 in emerging economies are projected to exceed levels during the global financial crisis, as countries struggle with low oil prices, cooling investor sentiment and intensifying geopolitical tensions. The warning on countries’ debt reinforces the fund’s message in two other reports this week that the world risks slipping to stagnation without strong action by policy makers, who are gathering in Washington for spring meetings of the IMF and World Bank. If gross domestic product growth in advanced economies slides further, that would raise public and private debt levels as a proportion of output, said Vitor Gaspar, head of the IMF’s fiscal-affairs department.

Headline: Yellow fever spreads to DR Congo, kills 21
An outbreak of yellow fever has killed 21 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the World Health Organization (WHO) says, linking some cases to an outbreak in neighbouring Angola. In a statement, the WHO said the deaths had occurred in January to March, with 151 suspected cases recorded. There was, it said, a “serious risk of further spread of the disease” in DRC. The acute, mosquito-borne viral disease has killed 225 people in Angola and infected about 1,600 there. The WHO said the DRC health authorities had set up a national committee to respond to the outbreak, including “screening and sanitary controls” on the country’s borders.

Headline: Church of Norway Officially Embraces Gay Marriage: ‘A Historic…Shift in the Church’s Teaching on Marriage’
The Church of Norway voted at its annual conference on Monday to allow gay marriage, with the Christian body joining the French Protestant Church, the U.S. Episcopal and Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) denominations, among others, in now supporting same-sex unions. Of the 115 delegates at the Lutheran denomination’s synod, 88 backed embracing gay marriage, while also including a caveat for priests who do not wish to take part in same-sex weddings that allows them to opt out of doing so, Reuters reported. The denomination itself called the institutional change “a historic decision that marks a shift in the church’s teaching on marriage,” with the vote reportedly receiving a standing ovation from most of the participants in attendance.

Headline: Astronomers in South Africa discover mysterious alignment of black hole
Deep radio imaging by researchers in the University of Cape Town and University of the Western Cape, in South Africa, has revealed that supermassive black holes in a region of the distant universe are all spinning out radio jets in the same direction – most likely a result of primordial mass fluctuations in the early universe. The astronomers publish their results in a new paper in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The new result is the discovery – for the first time – of an alignment of the jets of galaxies over a large volume of space, a finding made possible by a three-year deep radio imaging survey of the radio waves coming from a region called ELAIS-N1 using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in India. The jets are produced by the supermassive black holes at the centres of these galaxies, and the only way for this alignment to exist is if supermassive black holes are all spinning in the same direction, says Prof Andrew Russ Taylor, joint UWC/UCT SKA Chair, Director of the recently-launched Inter-University Institute for Data Intensive Astronomy, and principal author of the Monthly Notices study.

Headline: India heatwave death toll rises to 135
Twenty-four new deaths were reported from a heatwave in India’s eastern Odisha state, bringing the nationwide total this week to 135, officials said Wednesday. The deaths were caused by sunstroke, as temperatures of 105.5 degrees Fahrenheit were recorded Tuesday at 19 locations across the state. The highest was 121.1 degrees Fahrenheit in the town of Titilargth. The temperature Monday in Bhubaneswar, a city of 800,000 and Odisha’s capital, rose to 114.44 degrees Fahrenheit. The heatwave extends across much of northern India, and traditional April rains have been delayed by the unusually high temperatures.
