Her condition soon came to the attention of William Warham, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who sent an Episcopal Commission to investigate her case. They found her to be neither a dissembler nor unorthodox in her beliefs. She spoke only of the Mass and Confession, they said. Cleared of any wrongdoing she was carried from the Chapel at Court-le-Street in triumph by the crowd of admirers that had gathered to hear the verdict, miraculously cured, or so it seemed.

The fit and healthy Elizabeth now became a nun at the Benedictine Convent of St Sepulchre’s. But here her trances and revelations only seemed to intensify. Though her supposedly divine messages remained theologically orthodox, they were being relayed at a time when there was about to be a profound shift in English religious thinking. Even so, she may well have been left alone had her predictions not begun to impinge upon the realm of politics.

Still by 1528, she had become something of a Tudor celebrity. So famous was she that she had a private meeting with the Chancellor, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. He was impressed by this simple woman of little education. So much so that he was to arrange two meetings for her with the King himself. It was at the second of these meetings, however, that everything was to change for Elizabeth.

In January, 1528, Henry VIII announced his intention to divorce his wife Katherine of Aragon and marry the notorious courtesan Anne Boleyn. Katherine was hugely popular with the common people whilst Anne Boleyn was regularly referred to as that ” Goggle-Eyed Whore.”

At their second meeting Elizabeth spoke to the King of his proposed marriage to Anne Boleyn. She told him that should he persist ” he should no longer be King of his Realm and die a Villains death.” That he should be aware of the dire consequences that would follow. God had spoken to her and said that the marriage was blasphemous in His eyes and that Henry would be dead within one month of taking his marriage vows.

Henry did not respond but remained silent to what in some quarters could have been perceived as a threat. Indeed, he did not react at all to Elizabeth Barton’s latest revelation for almost a year. Perhaps he did so out of fear of God’s wrath, perhaps because the Holy Maid of Kent was more popular amongst the common people than he was. After all, thousands made the pilgrimage to her Convent to pray for her, or in the hope of being touched by her. But her opposition to the Royal Marriage and the fast-moving English Reformation could not remain unchallenged.

The King’s agents now began to spread rumours that the Holy Maid of Kent was not all that she seemed. She had engaged in sex with priests, it was said. That she had lascivious thoughts about both men and women, that her thirst for lust was unquenchable, that she was little more than a common whore and a charlatan.

When in May, 1533, Henry formally announced his divorce from Katherine of Aragon, Elizabeth went public with her revelations. In September of that same year she was arrested and charged with treason.

Such was her status that John Fisher, the Bishop of Rochester, was in regular communication with her, and the ex-Chancellor Sir Thomas More visited her in prison. But neither her celebrity nor the love of the people could save her. The successor to William Warham as Archbishop of Canterbury was Thomas Cranmer, the prime mover, along with the Chancellor Thomas Cromwell, of the English Reformation. He was determined to be rid of this troublesome woman. In a letter dated 20 December, 1533, he described his first meeting with her: ” When she brought hither and laid before the Image of Our Lady, her face was wonderfully disfigured, her tongue hanging and her eyes being in a manner plucked and laid upon her cheeks and so greatly disordered. Then there was a voice heard speaking within her belly, as it had been in a tun, her lips not greatly moving; she all that while continuing by the space of three hours in a trance.”

Under torture the Holy Maid of Kent confessed all. She had not received Divine Revelations at all but had merely possessed the talent of ventriloquism that meant she could speak without moving her lips that gave her lies and deceits a credibility that they may not otherwise have had. She was convicted of treason on the basis of her confession. Even though evidence obtained by torture, even in Tudor times, was considered inadmissible as evidence in a Court of Law.

Elizabeth Barton, the Holy Maid of Kent, was hanged at Tyburn with seven of her closest associates on 20 April, 1534. She was 28 years of age.

It was ridiculous that he had this affect on me.  Nothing that he did mattered to my life in any way and yet somehow, for some inexplicable reason, his motives enthralled me.  Why did he say this?  Why did he do that?  What does this mean?  What does that prove?

The odds of the answers being what I want or having any impact on what I do are nil.  At best.  And yet, it’s still there – the need to know.  This exasperating game in my mind, trying to unravel the yarn of his thoughts across space and time.  I keep reaching out to him on a different level to find the answers that my soul craves.  Does he hear me?  Can he feel me?  I think so. 

Then new questions begin.  Is he ignoring me, blocking me, oblivious to me, or worse?  Or is he just not ready for me?  I think he’s beginning to awaken to the possibilities, but he’s not ready to accept the full impact of our rapport.  I’m ahead of him in that way.  Though maybe he is right to wait for the true impact on us to be revealed.  There is no way to know where this road leads.

So the questions continue to bewilder me.  I am consumed.  Until the answers are revealed, I can not stifle the constant swirling of ambiguous prospects.

There are predictions that it will be the end of the world next year.  With what id happening now, who would not think that it can happen. Are we prepared for this? I am sure you still want to do more things in the future, travel around the world and other things we want to do in our lives with our families and children.

Japan for example is country that are very advance in technology, they have built many projects for future needs.  Robots and gadgets are some of them.  Even study of how to prevent earthquakes since they are lyng in a faultline which meas they ar eprone to earthquake.

Do you think that the end of the world is really coming in 2012? Are you prepared for it?

A lot of people have been going on ranting about how they think the end is near, based on what date the Mayan calendar ended. Personally I would like to think that the Mayan people simply ran out of tools and materials to keep the calendar going. That, or the whole scenario of the Mayan people getting tired of doing it for years that they decided to just stop on that date.

A couple months before the year 2000 and maybe further back, everyone and their favorite newscasters were talking about the Y2K bug. How the banks and all the other computers around the world, didn’t have their computers programmed correctly. So, it started a mass hysteria of people thinking that bombs were going to go off, money would be refunded in your error like in Monopoly, however, all that happened was I passed out and woke up at 12:40 and the world was still celebrating.

My point, is that when 2012 is all over, someone, somewhere, will provoke the masses into believing that another date like 2025 will be the end of the world. People will have a new reason to build their bomb shelters, and buy supplies, and hate each other all over again.

However, back to my starting point. If the world is to end, I hope it happens in my time. If so, I hope that its through mysterious consequences. Maybe, aliens finally make their presence known and decide to conquer earth. Or, maybe zombies are born from some sort of medical treatment and they overrun the planet infecting everywhere they pass. I’d personally like to see superheroes be born and that’s the end of one era and the dawn of superheroes. OH!, maybe The Sentry comes and ushers in the age of zombies and infects all the heroes and we have heroic zombies and that’s how it ends…..Wishful thinking.

Don’t worry about 2012. Unless you see a zombified horde of superheroes coming your way.

Are you the one who can’t look in the anybody’s eyes because you suspect every person to be a bad person?

Are you also the one who prefers doing his own thing , something which least requires talking to another human being?

Read on, may be this article will change your life

I don’t care how much this article looks like a run-of-the-mill article you have been reading around, and I don’t care if you think this one is a trash. I will write here the most right, exact, ditto, the very words which will give you the right direction to solve your problem

I WILL NOT GIVE YOU “TIPS” FOR DEALING WITH YOUR BOSS, OR FINDING SOLUTION TO BULLIES, you will find them yourself after you truly understand what i’m saying in this article

and now for the solution :

as you read this, just do it : disconnect from everything happening in your life , MENTALLY. sit calm and stop thinking. Yeah I know this is not smthin holy , or profound im saying. The other word for this is meditation, but had you understood meditation, you would have solved your problems and not reading this article. Now, I’ll try putting the same in a manner so that you could follow it to the very core of it.

THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS EXISTENCE WHICH IS WORTH HOLDING ON TO , YET (now here comes something very different which spirituality/religion etc don’t tell you), YET IF YOU UNDERSTAND THIS FACT FULLY AND MAKE IT A PART OF YOUR SOUL, YOU CAN GET ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING.

look at the irony: you get anything you want if you understand that it’s not really what you want, because what you wanted in the first place was something you never really got. Now, by not wanting it from your heart, you will definitely get it because now you would reach out to it not with your heart but from brain.

coming back to the problem you have with people: after understanding this profound truth i  revealed, you no longer would have problems with people. It would be more like ,rather finding solution to the problem, the problem would vanish like snow in the fire. and trust me when i tell you, there is nothing better than vanishing of the problem. even the best possible solution to a problem cannot beat vanishing of the problem. vanishing of a problem pawns!.

i know after what i have written in this one, you might hate me thinking that i made you waste your precious 2 minutes reading this article. but i have purposefully not written this in detail. You know why? because long articles don’t reveal anything. that is why all those golden quotes and sayings are only one or two lines long. the miracles are always compact in expression, the seeker has to understand himself to appreciate those short two lines. and after having understood it completely, he can write another bible on it. hope you understand

Recent revelations regarding Justice Clarence Thomas raise the issue of whether the Supreme Court motto, “Equal Justice Before The Law” is just so many carved letters, or a real standard. Justice Thomas’s wife, Ginny Thomas, has been making money for the last two decades that did not make it into Justice Thomas’s financial disclosure forms. The Supreme Court Justice has attempted to claim that this was a simple matter of oversight. Raising two possibilities – either he is lying, or he is incompetent to hold his position.

From 2003 to 2007, Common Cause found earnings of $650,000 from “The Heritage Foundation”, a conservative outfit that is funded by the Koch brothers, the Coors family and other billionaire contributors. The Justice quickly amended his filings when this revelation was made and in record time (less than 24 hours) everything was legal again. This was done on a Saturday, have you tried to conduct business with a government office on a Saturday before? Of course the average citizen might not expect such expedited service from a government office, but as we used to say in the military, rank has its privileges.   

Very little has been said about this in America’s news media regarding this issue, further indicting the press for favoritism (for more: http://newsflavor.com/opinions/american-media-vs-european-media/). Just imagine if one of the liberal justices had been caught taking payment from a liberal organization – would the media be so forgiving?

Then there is the question of other financial dealings by other members of the court that have not yet been fully explained. Both Justice Thomas and Justice Scalia attended an expensive soiree hosted by the Koch brothers that also included the likes of Glenn Beck, Haley Barbour and Jim DeMint. The focus was of the event was to discuss “threats to our free society.” Given the apparently exclusively conservative bent of the event, one wonders what and who these people see as a “threat” to our society. This entire event failed to make any of the Justices financial disclosures, raising the question of what else has gone unreported.

Image via Wikipedia

Ginny Thomas has also been involved in efforts with “Liberty Central”, a Tea Party affiliated outfit that was created to fight “the leftist tyranny of the Obama administration.” Once again, no financial disclosures have been found that include this employment.

The result of all this has been a lowering of American respect for the Supreme Court. Of course this process had already begun with the Bush Gore election decision that was so shady that the court said it could not be used as a precedent in future cases. Many are now calling for the impeachment of Justice Thomas (and others) to restore public confidence in the court.

“Veterans Today” has called for the impeachment of Thomas. Peace team has set up a petition page where you can add your voice in the call for impeachment. This is not just a liberal/conservative issue, it is an issue of legal/illegal!

    Apocolypse means a veil lifting, giving clarity to anyone who chooses awareness. The prophecies have given us ideas of world plaques, global disasters, and a sense of unrest. Mass starvation and chaos has been prophecied to be rampant among todays people. The prophecies have warned of massive wars and destruction, and the idea of human anialation is real. There is major unrest among the people today, many of whom have been reduced to poverty due to economic downfall. There are families that have lost their jobs and their homes. The number of hungry and homeless people has increased considerably over the last few years. Homicide and suicide rates are up, the cause seems to be economic deterioration. There are many who prophesized a fall of the people around the 21st century. Native Americans to this day live by the sacred beliefs of their ancestors. People from many countries also live by their beliefs. It seems that the American people are among the very few that have given up their religious and ancestral backgrounds. This can be devastating to the future of our children.

    Revelations is a prophecy that appears in the last chapter of the Bible. It was written as a warning for what is to come, and what is to be. 
The signs are numerous among us today. Outbreaks of disease has been seen worldwide throughout the years. Only recently have we seen the impact of how serious this has become. Immunizations helped keep deadly diseases at their minimum, but suddenly many have reappeared. There are several flu viruses that are spreading all over the world. The problem with this is that they are mutating stronger than ever. Soon, there could be panic even among the scientists and doctors, who will be frantically searching for a cure. There may be massive numbers of deaths before a cure can be found, if ever one is. Bacteria strains change with each occurance, so finding a cure is becoming harder and harder. The fear of past strains of smallpox and measles reappearing is very real. The time of the apocolypse could be near.

    Recently, we have seen natural disasters that seem to be concurrent. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and global warming has been in the news constantly over the last few years. In 2009 and 2010 there were many earth shattering disasters that took thousands of lives and caused major devastation. The new millenium seems to have brought with it a change that could very possibly be the end of time as we know it. The most devastating of all could be the religious war that is being fought around the world. As of now, the earth is going through changes of her own. Earthquakes are nothing new to us. There have been natural disasters since the beginning of time. Maybe it just seems more devastating now because the population has risen to dramatic numbers. And with higher populated areas comes higher number of deaths and destruction. Or it could be that the earth is sending us a warning to change our way of living. 

    Not only do we have earth wreaking havoc, but humanity is also showing signs of destroying itself. The threat of nuclear war is very real. The feeling of vulnerability has become an uncomfortable reality. There is no longer a sense of normality among the people. Stress and anxiety seems to be taking its toll on everyone. Once upon a time, a child’s worst fear was a horror movie in the dead of night. Now, it appears the child’s fear is the horror of death at night. Our worst nightmares are being played out as each day dawns a new light. Sleep no longer comes in an instant. Every waking hour is filled with the chaos that is our life.
 
    Where there was a positive aspect of life, has now turned negative as our mental status slowly deteriorates in the wake of the turning of the century and all that has followed. You can avert your eyes from the dark truth, never seeing what lies ahead; or you can become aware of the danger and join forces to help make this world a better place. The new millenium, how we were excited to be part of this historic coming about. Little did we know what would bring us to this point. There are no promises that the world will be a wonderful place to exist, but there are also no absolute signs that we are at the end. Where there is smoke, there must be fire, right? Wrong! There is still hope and faith among us and we must be prepared. Wisdom is the weapon of choice among those of us that still believe in something. A religious war is on the horizon of our spiritual plane.
 
    The reasoning for alerting the public is not to bring fear, but to bring awareness to the possibilities of a new age problem. We are in a different age of living, and with that begins a new stage of life. The world has become a place of paranoia. The long awaited nuclear promise has become a real threat to our society. The media makes sure that we have part knowledge of what is happening around the world. The real story is covered up to prevent the spread of world panic. But most of the population will read between the lines. This is where the story gets confusing and complex. Reports are garbled, which causes enough speculation to start rumors and vaque facts to become reality in our minds. This is the scariest fact of all. That is why we must put forth the effort to uncover the real truth and leave speculation behind. We must not let panic and paranoia take over our thought process. The dawning of a new era has begun. This we know as a truth. What we do not know is what will happen in the near future. The prophecies of the Maya people and others is just that. But December 21, 2012 looms right in front of us. We are soon to discover exactly what and if those prophesies are to bring.

    Also, there is the fall of government throughout the world. Our rights as citizens are in danger as changes are being made. The right to travel has been shadowed in leiu of terrorist attacks on American citizens, both on American soil and in other countries. The turn of the century was one of death and sadness as terrorists attacked the trade centers in New York City. This was only one attack of many, but with the most to date devastation from terrorism. It seems that our country has become an anti-religious sect, with Christianity moving to the rear of the line. This country was built upon beliefs and strong Christian foundations, but this is slowly being taken away. With the coming of many people of different religions and race to America, our foundations have weakened, which was built by our Christian fore-fathers. This knowledge puts a stronghold on our freedom of speech and our right to practice Christianity. One of the prophecies was that God would be forgotten and the land would become barren. This is a matter that has come to our attention lately. As God is removed from most public and all government buildings, His name will slowly be forgotten. This must not happen, lest we become puppets on this stage we call Earth.

    The rise of Americans has brought about strange, new political pictures. The recent gathering of Tea Party followers is proof that changes have already occured. In the past, there have been religious and political differences. Today, it seems to be more widespread considering the highest population of different races and religions ever. Millions of people thrown together with different outlooks on life and worship can almost certainly have a bad outcome.The fact that different religious beliefs is what makes the world we live in, putting them together under one roof, so to speak, can not have a happy ending. Since the seperation of church and government, America has been spiraling out of control. America’s children are socially and spiritually lost in light of this.

    There has been a shift in personal gratification where worship is concerned. In the wake of violence and non-believers, the country has taken a turn for the worse. The need for material gain has taken hold of society. Parents are too busy making a dollar to worry about teaching the children right from wrong. Mankind is on the verge of destruction, and we are the culprits. Love, happiness and the right to worship starts in the home, with a strong foundation to lean on. Without that strength to hold communities together, there can be a backlash that will haunt generations to come. The realization of a godless people is too overwhelming to imagine. The most important substance within the lives of Americans is turning to dust, day by day. It is a priviledge to be able to worship and to receive God’s grace. That priviledge is slowly being taken away, leaving those that have faith to keep a private vigil within their homes. Hopefully, fear will not take over our spirit and our soul. We must not allow non-believers to sway us from all that is good and right.

    Our children depend on us to keep them safe, yet who will be there to save them if we allow the suffering and violence to continue? An awakening has been coming for a long time, the spiritual awakening that the Mayans and the Hopis prophesied so many years ago. The long count calendar of the Mayan population tells the story of a people who believed in a god and the works of heaven. They counted the days and watched the skies at night so that they could help future generations. The lessons of the ancient people is well documented knowledge, warning us of disasters that are not of God but of mankind. Take hold of your faith and keep it close to your heart. When war is thought of, a picture of weapons and destruction comes to mind. There is coming a different kind of war, one that is just as threatening to the human race. There will be no visual weapons to be seen. This will be a sneak attack, a quiet war that devastates its victims emotionally, spiritually and mentally   
   

    In the last part of Revelation, chapter 21,  tells of a new world that has no pain and no sorrow. Paragraphs 5 through 8 says all: And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said, unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
   

    This is the revelation of a new world, which tells me that life will not end, it will only end as we know it. The startling truth is that mankind has made a mess of what has been given us. The story of Noah’s Ark is one reckoning of the wrath of a civilization that destroyed the beliefs and loyalty of God. He promised us life, but to no extreme should we take advantage of His love and the gift that has been given us. God’s love is unconditional, but mankind has chosen to destroy all that which makes life desirable through Him. The connection between ancient beliefs and prophesies and the writings of the Holy Bible are similar. Though the thought process may be slightly different, the end remains the same. The ancient indians believed that war and destruction of the earth, along with lost faith, would be the downfall of humanity. Christians, too, believe this will be the end of a civilization as we know it. An awareness has taken hold of many. A spiritual awakening has been a long time coming, maybe December 21, 2012 will bring the answer that the world has been searching for. 
   
   
   
   
   

Revelation 12:15 reads, “Then the dragon tried to drown the woman with flood of water that flowed from its mouth.”

Revelation 11:13 reads, “And in the same hour there was a terrible earthquake that destroyed a tenth of the city. Seven thousand people died in that earthquake. And everyone who did not die was terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.”

Revelation 8:10 reads, “The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.” and Revelation 9:1 reads, “The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss.”

Nibirus is a star that will be coming into Earth’s orbit someday soon. This star makes a full orbit of the Sun approximately every 3600 years. Nibirus moves at 23,000 kilometers per second. Near the end of 2011, Nibirus will be entering Jupiter’s orbit. The end of 2012 (specifically December 21, 2012), will mark the time of the closest encounter between Earth and Nibirus. Nibirus may pull some asteroids out of the asteroid belt and send them towards Earth. This could potentially cause a meteor shower (shooting stars), like explained in Revelation 8:10 and 9:1. Nibirus being close to Earth will cause a disruption in gravitational pull. This could possibly shake the Earth (earthquake in Revelation 11:13). This altered gravity may cause extra-high tides (floods) like in Revelation 12:15. Google Earth has censored the image of Nibirus and this should concern us all.

Mayan people were very good in astrology. They made calenders based on the stars. Their calender seemed to end on December 21, 2012. I have heard people say that it ended because the world will end that day, but I didn’t believe that was true until recently. I believe that they were good enough at deciphering the stars that they could understand that Nibirus would come into Earth’s orbit on December 21, 2012.

In conclusion, I believe, as a Christian, that December 21, 2012 could most definitely be the end of Earth.
