Original title: The Nations Against Israel--An Evil Wind Bloweth
Update 10/20/12: I just checked Google Earth to see if the tsunami cloud sign was still there. As you can see from the updated photo below the 2006 image was deleted and a different image was put in its place but if you click on the archived images at the bottom of the screen and go to 3/20/2006 image you will see the tsunami cloud sign.Original title: The Nations Against Israel--An Evil Wind Bloweth
In the past year I have become acutely aware of the relationship between calamities in nations and how that nation treats Israel. I have been reminded time and time again of nation after nation setting their hand against Israel and then some great calamity will come upon them. One such example is Hurricane Katrina that did much destruction to the USA after we made Israel tear up some of her settlements. Or more recently the floods brought to the Philippines, Australia, and South America after those nations recognized and supported the Palestinian state.
I believe this all stems from what God said in Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
The most recent calamity upon a nation--as we are well aware--was the Japan earthquake and tsunami. My heart goes out for the people of Japan. I spent 6 weeks in Japan on a missions trip in the 80s. I liked the Japanese people they were very polite and conscientious of others--not like us arrogant Americans. I pray that many will be brought to salvation.
I have been following the Japanese situation since it developed last week. And a question kept popping in my mind; Why Japan? I felt prompted to check to see if there was a connection between Japan and Israel. Here is what I found from the Japanese state department at this link http://www.mofa.go.jp/region/middle_e/palestine/index.html
Statement by the Press Secretary, Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Japan, on the situation in East Jerusalem
February 10, 2011
Japanese
1. The Government of Japan is concerned about the Jerusalem municipal planning committee’s approval of a plan to build housing units for Jewish people in the Sheih Jarrah of East Jerusalem. Such act goes against the efforts by the international community to resume the negotiations.
2. The Government of Japan does not recognize any act that prejudges the final status of the territories in the pre-1967 borders nor Israel’s annexation of East Jerusalem. Japan urges Israel to refrain from any unilateral act that changes the current situation in East Jerusalem

Exchange of Notes for the Grant Aid for Environment and Climate Change to the Palestinian Authority (Jericho Wastewater Collection, Treatment System and Reuse Project)
February 28, 2011
Japanese
1. The Government of Japan has decided to extend a Grant Aid for Environment and Climate Change (Jericho Wastewater Collection, Treatment System and Reuse Project) up to 2.65 billion JPY (2,650,000,000YEN) to the Palestinian Authority. Notes to this effect were exchanged on Monday, February 28 (the same day at local time) in Ramallah in the West Bank, between Mr. Naofumi Hashimoto, Representative of Japan to the Palestinian Authority, and H.E. Dr. Salam Fayyad, Prime Minister, Palestinian Authority.
2. This project aims to construct a sewage treatment plant with a resource-circulative system, which contains Japan’s advanced energy-saving technologies, in Jericho and Jordan River Rift Valley area where serious environmental problems have been caused by untreated wastewater staying therein due to its geographical features. It will make effective reuse of the treated water as a valuable water resource for irrigations over the area. Through implementing this aid, it is expected not only to improve the living conditions and hygienic environment of those local residents who have been threatened by the soil and ground water pollutions caused by the foul wastewater, but also to contribute to a rise in the agricultural production over the area. Furthermore, as these Palestinian efforts to preserve the environment and the ground water resource would also benefit such neighboring countries as Israel which shares the same ground water vein, this project could eventually help the confidence-building between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
3. In order to support the overseas expansion of Japan’s advanced technologies for environment and energy-conservation, the Government of Japan is making efforts to disseminate and promote such technologies in developing countries through its FY2010 supplementary budget. This grant aid is part of such efforts by Japan. At the same time, it also demonstrates Japan’s overall support for the efforts of the Palestinian Authority to achieve its own state-building and its economic independence toward co-existence and co-prosperity with Israel.
(Reference) The Palestinian territories cover a land area of 6,020 square kilometers and has a population of approximately 3.76 million people (2005). Its Gross National Income (GNI) per capita is about 1,230 USD (2006).

So Japan makes an official statement condemning Israeli settlements and supporting the Palestinian state and they commit to aiding the Palestinians with a water project and then 29 days and 11 days later respectively their country experiences a huge earthquake and a tsunami--water disaster. These are the facts, I will allow you to make your own conclusions.
I also found something else that I would like to show you. God prompted me to draw a line from the Japan earthquake location to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem--I wanted to see how close the line came to Jericho--where the water project is planned.
As you can see above it came close--within about 5 miles. That is not all--take a look at what I found beside the line in Jordan--look at the bizarre looking "cloud."
The "cloud" has some very strange features--notice how the "cloud" edges on the left and bottom edge form perpendicular straight lines. That suggests to me that this is not an "ordinary cloud." The "cloud" color also looks strange--it looks muddy. When I asked myself the question; What does the shape look like? At first I thought it looked like a finger but when I rotated it to the present orientation it looks like a tsunami wave to me.
Don't think it looks like a tsunami wave? I pasted a few of them on a tsunami sign. (If you want to see it yourself, enter 32.02, 35.58 into the Google Earth Fly To box.)
So we have an out of the ordinary "cloud" that looks like a muddy tsunami wave next to a line that extends from the Temple Mount to the earthquake location off of Japan that caused a massive tsunami. Also realize that the "cloud" would probably mean nothing by its self but next to the line it speaks volumes.
I believe it is possible that the "cloud" was put there by God at the time of the satellite picture in 2006 as a sign of the the impending disaster--the proverbial writing on the wall. If it is from God then I believe that God is sending a clear warning to the nations to not come against Israel or that nation(s) will receive judgment. Note; It is also possible that the cloud was put there by man via scalar technology or image manipulation which would imply that this disaster was engineered. You take your pick.
The day after finding the info about Japan and Palestine I randomly opened my Bible for morning devotions to Jeremiah 24/25. Chapter 25 stood out to me.
Jer 25
4 And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
5 They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:
6 And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.
7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.
8 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,
9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.
13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
15 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
17 Then took I the cup at the LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:
26 And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.
29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.
30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.
32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture.
37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
These passages refer to judgment coming against Israel for her sins and judgment coming against the nations for their sins--especially in regards to their treatment of Israel. These passages were partially fulfilled with the Babylonian captivity--but we know prophetic passages can have more than one fulfillment.
Verse 32 and 36 stood out to me; Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth...A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture.
Is not an evil wind blowing from the coast of Japan that threatens to spew nuclear radiation over the whole earth? As you probably know from following the nuclear situation in Japan the information is sketchy and at present they are telling us that things are improving and I hope it does, but there is a real potential for the situation to develop into a devastating crisis that could effect the whole world with radiation. Also we only know what we have been officially told--only God knows the truth of what has happened already.
Did God let the devastation happen to Japan because of her treatment of Israel? Was the "cloud" a sign from God? Will an evil wind blow upon the whole world because they have aligned themselves against Israel? Only God knows the answers to those questions but scripture will be fulfilled--And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Gen 12:3
Dear Christian as a watchman I am doing my duty and proclaiming what I have found lest you be caught unawares. May I encourage you to draw near to God and He will draw near to you--So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me...And Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man (a compilation of scripture)
My prayer is that God will have mercy on us and stop this disaster from unfolding.
Note: Since starting this post many tribulations began occurring to my family and I, and I was greatly hindered in this effort--I got to the point where I was laying prostrate with my face on the floor crying out to God for mercy--then it was like the oppression lifted--your prayers appreciated.
