STORED UP FOR FIRE
Saturday, May 7, 2011 at 6:21AM 
“For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; and by those means the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water. But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men.” – 2 Peter 3:5-7
In the beginning the earth was a formless waste, shrouded in water and gas. On the second creative day God commanded a division of the waters, so that one mass of water should cover the earth as ocean, and another mass be suspended high above the earth as a heavenly ocean – a deluge.
Scientists point out that it is impossible for the atmosphere surrounding this earth to contain nearly enough water vapor to completely inundate the planet to the extent the Bible describes. And, of course, they are right. Unfortunately, Flood proponents have referred to the heavenly ocean as a “vapor canopy.” However, it should not be supposed that the heavenly ocean was in the form of water vapor. The Hebrew term (mabbul) translated “deluge” literally means “heavenly ocean.” And since the deluge came about as a direct creation of God neither should we imagine that the heavenly ocean came into existence by natural means, such as evaporation and condensation.
As the apostle Peter wrote (above), the world in Noah's day stood compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God. In other words, the dry ground upon which men lived was completely surrounded by waters – the waters of the seas, subterranean waters and the heavenly ocean, which Jehovah put in place. By means of erupting geysers, great tidal waves and the collapse of the suspended, heavenly ocean, Jehovah wiped a wicked world off the earth. (Just As The Days of Noah – YouTube)
In the four millennia since that great catastrophe another wicked civilization has developed, influenced by the same evil angels that walked the earth before the Flood. And now the time has come for God to destroy this world and remove the demons from their invisible thrones.
To that end Peter revealed that the same word of God that once created a division between the waters, and suspended an ocean above the atmospheric expanse, has also decreed that the present heavens and earth be stored up with fire.
Since the waters of the deluge were literal, natural elements, put in place by the hand of God, is the “fire” literal too, or does it merely symbolize God’s destructive power?
Well, consider the fact that this seemingly rock-solid, terra firma we stand upon is actually a relatively thin crust of skin floating upon a vast sea of bubbling, molten rock. Occasionally that reality is demonstrated when the subterranean fires burst through the crust in great volcanic eruptions.
Not only is there fire below the earth, the usually benevolent star that sits at the center of our local solar system is given to cycles of great fiery outbursts with the potential to affect the earth in ways that are not presently fully understood.
Literally, then, just as the word of God situated the ancient earth in the midst of water, the modern world is also surrounded by stored up fire in the earth below and heavens above. The fact that Peter’s epistle stated that this “fire” was being held in reserve would indicate that the means of destruction is already in place – “stored up,” as it were, to be at God’s disposal for that great day.
Although there is little doubt that the beastlike Anglo-American empire is being demonically driven to unleash its stored up thermonuclear fire upon certain nations of the Middle East and Asia, still, it appears as if the fiery day of Jehovah will include more than man-made fire.
Should it be considered coincidental that at this critical juncture in history, with London’s monetary empire in its last days and their long-standing policy to commit global genocide now being swiftly implemented, which, as readers of this site know is the stuff of prophecy, the sun has suddenly flared up from a 13-year period of dormancy. For example, on May the 2nd an amateur astronomer captured a mass coronal ejection that released a fireball the size of the earth hurling out into space.
(As an anecdote, when I shared this information about this giant fireball being hurled into space with my wife, who herself is also an amateur astronomer, she asked the somewhat disconcerting question: "Where's it going?)
One day prior to the horrific earthquake that rocked Japan the sun erupted in one of the largest mass coronal ejections ever witnessed by man. It is believed by some that the interplay of cosmic radiation upon earth’s magnetic field may be involved in the movement of the earth’s great floating plates. It is noteworthy that swarms of earthquakes in greater frequency and intensity are being reported all over the planet, not just the Pacific Ring of Fire, but the New Madrid fault in the heart of the USA as well.
Also, the beautiful Yellowstone Park in Wyoming is actually the top of what is called a super-volcano. An eruption of the simmering caldera could literally blanket North America in volcanic ash and darken the sun around the entire planet. National Geographic reported at the beginning of the year that the caldera had suddenly bulged with swelling magma. Although scientists do not think an eruption is imminent they are closely monitoring it. Certainly, though, the Yellowstone caldera is an example of stored up fire.
Not entirely unrelated, but it bears consideration, it is being reported that the so-called Atlantic Conveyer has stalled. The Atlantic current comes up the Eastern seaboard from the warm Gulf waters and baths northern Europe in relatively warm water – moderating frigid weather. It is suspected that the BP oil blowout last summer and the millions of gallons of extremely toxic Corexit dispersant that were dumped into the ocean have caused the warm current to stall. This disaster is likely to change the weather in unpredictable ways. Already radical extremes of weather phenomenon are being experienced, from extreme droughts in parts of the USA, to unprecedented flooding in other parts, along with massive tornado outbreaks. Poland just had an unseasonal snowfall. Other strange and unusual things are occurring around the world, such as massive animal die-offs.
Although most people wish to dismiss Noah's Flood as a myth, the fire stored up for the day of Jehovah that Jehovah's Witnesses have been preaching about for decades, is not so easy to ignore.

It is surely going to redefine what Rock n Roll means....
Have Faith
Trust in Jehovah.
Great article,faith strengthening, fear inspiring. Thankyou watchman, keep up the good work!
Yet another wonderfully thought-provoking entry Brother King.
It certainly feels like the scene of this world is changing at an increasingly rapid pace.
Watchman isn't scary anymore. He needs something to say before he kills his victims.

Beep Beep Beep! Drive that truck and pay those bills!! HEhehehehehhe. Be nice and pay attention to the road.
Say something constructive to build up and help out. Or at least add some real humor. Besides, don't you have some type of Darwin worship talk to attend to? LOL
:)
What's a Darwin workshop? Is that anything like a germ theory workshop? And don't pretend you love me with your tender words. Why would you care if I drove careful on the road? I don't think you'd lose any sleep if I drove off a cliff tomorrow -- serves me right for asking questions and embracing logic and skepticism. Because we all know, God prefers ignorance over reason.
I love my job. I make plenty of money, and I see the world for free. Maybe I'm not a lawyer or a doctor. What difference does that make? With your line of reasoning, Jesus should have been ignored too. After all, he was nothing but an unemployed homeless hippy, right? Maybe your line a reasoning here isn't far off. If a crazed long haired hippy came knocking at my door with a New World Translation, I'd call the police. So maybe there is some truth to this logic.
But lets be real about this. My profession is not really the problem now, is it? How much money I make isn't the issue, is it? You just desperately need something to mock in order to elevate your otherwise weak and vulnerable position. You know, talking snakes, Jewish zombies marching around Jerusalem, magic, and witches. You know, children stuff. It's obvious to me and any other rational thinking person who reads these archives. You're just a child afraid to lose Santa Clause
Here's a test, and I'm sure you'll agree. If I was a brain surgeon, would you suddenly take me seriously and become an atheist? I doubt it. The fact that I drive a truck for a living doesn't suddenly offer any credibility to Christianity. For all we know, Christianity is completely wrong and the Muslims got it right. We're all out of luck then -- truck drivers, Catholics, unemployed hippies and fleeing felons. Not even a Darwin workshop could help us then.

I’m a very poor unstably employed carpenter hopelessly glutted with personal problems. I would suppose from your Darwinian perspective that makes me significantly low on the totem pole “survival of the fittest”.
Now should I hunt you down, take your possessions, consume your sustenance thus allowing me to ascend to your elevated/enlightened condition.
No: I would rather die like the dog I am, but at least my God given humanity would be intact as I drew my last breath.
Your independent freedom is your reward, enjoy it while it last.
Anzwertree,
It is "worship" not workshop! Reread the post. Geez brainiac. Just ribbing you a little. I can see that the truck comment got to you. Don't worry about it. Move on and swing with your ape brothers-LOL. --You asked for that one!
Now, I have some fun from time to time. It keeps me sane and millions safe. Fair trade wouldn't you say? But then, I would have to explain to you why that comment is so true and real. Suffice to say YOU don't want to know. Let us move on to the important things.
Your constant blasphemy against Jesus Christ and Jehovah God is needless to say, stupid. Your heart is most unfavorable to all righteous spirits. Perhaps the fallen ones will take pity with you. You must have no respect for the divine nature of things. Of course, you don't believe in "divine" anything. How empty a human you are inside.
So, talking with you in person, writing this post to you and etc. is a waste of time; is it not? You don't have to give a big speech, just answer in silence. For this is what your judgement will become. When you finally ask and seek, you will be unable to hear, see, feel or know. You will expire empty and your thoughts will perish with all that is you. What a waste but of course, 100% your choice.
Nothing will be available to you. Just your fellow minions and the bliss of emptiness. All of this is far beyond your ability to understand so don't bother to retort.
:(
This comment is for 'Prox..y"
Are you still enamoured with Anzertree, and confident that he has qualities that "the others" do not have,,as seen on
one of the Podcasts, some of which the above mentioned "mocker & ridiculer" of bible truths & even GOD himself..
Please explain....?
I have nothing against God. It's his high and mighty fan club I cannot stand. We're only doing the same thing here, right? We're just big kids. Someone pokes fun of me and my job, so I poke fun of them and their crazy religious delusions.
No need to invoke blasphemy litigation. How would that bother me? Remember God doesn't exist. So why would I worry about insulting a fictional character? It's fair game. Mind you, I'd be more respectful If I was treated with respect. I regard others with the same curtesy they hold for me. And furthermore, why is evolution considered such an insult to someone that accepts evolution? Was that really supposed to be funny? Since evolution is a fact, then yes, my ancestors were ape-like animals that probably did swing around in tress. They themselves were not apes, though. Humans and apes merely share a common ancestor. That's true for me, and every other person here.
The fact I accept the evidence for evolution doesn't make it not a fact for the uneducated deniers. It's like arguing with a holocaust denier. "I bet your ancestors are stupid enough to think they were POWs in that fake holocaust that never happened." Well, I'm sorry. The holocaust is fact. We have at least just as much evidence for the holocaust as we do for evolution. Evolution is a fact. There's no getting around it. There might (very very small chance) be a God out there. But even if there is a God, evolution, germ theory, and gravity are all demonstrable facts. Get over it.
Brian, why does the fact we evolved from lower life forms hurt your pride so much? Evolution is simply the mechanism of how we came to be. The term survival of the fittest is not universally true -- that's just a product of nature. Piranha are vicious killing machines with razor sharp teeth. But they don't go around killing each other. They live in schools.
Things like morality and caring for our elderly are products of human characteristics. We're a social species. Even though evolution was the mechanism that allowed us to exist, evolution is not conscious. There is no end goal.
Society plays a different role than did evolution. We don't need a God to figure out hunting people, killing them, and taking their possessions ultimately undermines the stability of a functional civilization. I don't like being killed, and so I work with other humans that also do not like being killed or stole from in order to build a civilized functional system. Life would not be possible with the mentality to just do what we wanted. This isn't burger king.
We lock people up that jeopardize the quality of life within that system. Again, God is unnecessary here -- regardless if he exists or not. It doesn't take a whole lot of thought to figure out a society with murderers and rapists is a bad model for our species to survive in.
But lets be real about this. The Bible is definitely not a book of morality. There is nothing my children could do where I'd take them out and stone them to death. I wouldn't kill my wife because she wasn't a virgin. If some guy mentioned another God, I wouldn't kill him for it. I believe these things are immoral, and they come directly from the Bible -- your God.
Of the most vital concepts of immorality, the Bible says nothing about it. We didn't need the Bible to determine rape and pedophilia was immoral. The Bible never mentions it. Rape and slavery are alright with God. To me they are immoral, and so I am more moral than your God. And I think everyone here is also more moral than this God. He isn't worthy of worship.
"Things like morality and caring for our elderly are products of human characteristics. We're a social species. Even though evolution was the mechanism that allowed us to exist, evolution is not conscious. There is no end goal. "
Wow the EVIDENCE of are God given benevolence surrounds you from every direction, but you refuse to acknowledge the truth.
Pride has nothing to do with my reaction to your conjecture; jealousy would be the right description of my motivations.
Religion has nothing to do with the God I know; organized religion is the antithesis of my creator.
To quote a Sound of Music tune “nothing comes from nothing, nothing ever could”
Your social animal MANKIND (in general) will inevitably implode on him self; this is clearly where the beasts are headed. Pride, arrogance and selfishness are the motivating factors behind the whole conspiracy.
Wow the EVIDENCE of are God given benevolence surrounds you from every direction, but you refuse to acknowledge the truth.

Yeah, like cancer, malaria, aids, etc. This argument would make sense if the world was a different place. I'm sorry, dude. You cannot go around pointing out all the good qualities of life while ignoring the obvious bad.
If God is responsible for birds and flowers, then he is also responsible for disease. And not just any diseases. It is true some disease are caused by environmental issues and personal bad decisions, but there are many other examples of disease by design. We're talking viral and bacterial diseases that survive for the sole purpose of causing disease. Lets focus on a few viral diseases. Take RSV or respiratory syncytial virus. For those of you that do not know, RSV is an obligate parasite. It cannot survive on its own without causing damage to host cells, resulting is disease and death for the host. RSV is most prevalent killer of the young -- especially premature babies. What a wonderful design idea that was!
Evolution says most viruses evolved from ancestor viruses. Biologists understand there are viruses of bacteria, plants, algae and humans -- each having distinctive characteristics. In other words, they have more in common with their host than each other. This suggests a multiple origin of various viruses.
Christianity suggests that God created the information for these deadly viruses. It doesn't matter if it was directly or indirectly. God is responsible for deadly disease. Viruses that kill children and innocent lives. God's plan included millions of children dying of disease. Why? Why would God do this? What is he trying to prove -- how great he is? The JW's told me it's because God wants to prove he is in control. In other words, tens of thousands of children will starve to death today so that God can glorify himself as being "in control". I'm sorry, I have no interest in worship a God that makes me sick.
As you can clearly see: These so called "evidences of benevolence" are absurd to the highest degree. If anything, the evidence of this world suggests an evil God of malevolence over a loving God of benevolence. The only difference between me and you is that I acknowledge reality. I acknowledge reality even if I don't like the answers.
Anzwertree and Others,
The worm turns, does it not? You feel it don't you? HaHaHa! How funny you are trying to grasp at straws. Keep digging your hole, who knows, you might find something related to you. LOL Do you have any idea how painful it is for me to mock you just a little? But this recommended technique does not work with some of your kind. Too bad for you.
The pride, arrogance, conceit, self-righteousness, point-counter point reminds me of such a long time ago.
The Angels had discussions like these and still do to a point. However the topics are much deeper and beyond mortal understanding. So, before I draw the attention of my brothers, I will leave this encounter of petty discourse.
Be assured of this; there are beings beyond your dreams and they walk this Earth. They do indeed, interact with everyday man. Be assured that there is a witness of all things, both good and bad.
All of you that are human have been given the grace of GOD. You have squandered and disrespected many things. You have shown little appreciation of the gifts given to all of you.
Life does not revolve around mankind and it is not about you. Life is about.......well, I have spoken too much. Perhaps those of you that survive what is yet to come, will listen, learn and act with the good news as it will be told again and the new scrolls will be opened.
Time is short for those that will survive. For the others, only nothingness-a passing of what was.
For those of you that have a future remember this: Hebrews 13:2 Do not forget hospitality, for through it some, unknown to themselves, entertained angels.
We will be watching.
You're the one talking about the end of the world, angels having discussions, and crazed religious hysteria, but then I'm the one "grasping at straws" hahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha
It's funny how that cognitive dissonance kicks in, isn't it?
Hahahahaaha, that's really funny. I love you guys. You'll be waiting and watching a long, long time if you're waiting on God to save you. With all the pain, death, and global suffering in the world, if God does exist, you're nothing more than collateral damage.
Thank you Custoian/Watcher,
We can get our forum back, simply by not replying to "anzertree" i.e. PLEASE do not feed the beast..!!??***
People are revealing their spiritual nature (or lack of) at this time, as never before and this is the work for the "reapers" the angels who have been assigned, before the founding of the world, for this DAY. It is obvious to those who have
been elevated by their spiritual advancement, and are leaving this world behind....people who come on these forums
authored by e-watchman to monopolise the comments with disrespect for all else, but their 'bloated ego'. They are crying out for attention, because they have discarded the "image they were created in" and become like wild beasts,
Do we feel we have to conquer these beasts, ..? not at all, they will fade away llike the mist they have become, by choice..reserved for judgment.
Hi everyone,
I miss all of you. The Watchman has denied me access to his website, apparently b/c I don't believe that Jesus had a pre-human existence. I am using someone else's computer to say hello to everyone. I love you all from the bottom of my heart.
Stone,
You are as dead as "stone" to those of us that know the facts. Stay gone! This is not a game. Jesus was the WORD made manifest into flesh. Therefore a pre-human existence.
:)
It has become obvious that ther "A-tree" has an 'axe to grind' against GOD, and it just could be that he has been terribly "let down" by the propaganda of the WT false prophets, the "evil slave" who created the "spiritual paradise" promising "helpful families- of brothers & sisters" to take the place of your family that you left behind, to "follow the yellow-brick-road of the WTB&TS cult" The bitterness comes from being defrauded & disillusioned, when you
realised that all "they" cared about was your "sacrifice' that you were 'nothing' to GOD unless you worked your butt off, ....folllowing their instructions" to earn your 'ticket to ride' on the merry-go-round of their "alice in wonderland"
treadmills...Go to "Freeminds.org" and look up "net soup" to get some "home-truths" if youre STRONG enough to take it..!!
E-Watchman == your "video of the day" Voice of God, , so, so very moooovving, tears fill my eyes but need to express how wonderful the music and the pictures of Gods creation.. thanks so much for the entertainment, a reminder that we need to pause in the seriousness of todays world, and cosider how beautiful is our world, and animals still left
to enjoy..Blessings
Intresting watchman that you made this article at the time i was thinking along the same lines.With all the earthquakes lately i was considering jesus comment in mathew 24:2 where he says- see you not all these things I say unto you there shall not be one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down.And then in revelation it speaks of a great earthquake that happens that was not since men were upon the earth.I was considering whether there is to be a global giant earthquake as these world events get worse.
