Check out, "Guadalupe Mysteries: Deciphering the Code" by Grzegorz Gorny (Author), Janusz Rosikon (Author). It is simply the best book covering the history of the Tilma, putting events into historical context, as well as assembling the most up-to-date research on the Tilma. The book briefly covers the musical score on the Tilma, explaining how the scientist discovered this. It came at the end of a section at the end of the book on how various discoveries had to wait until the technology and science had advanced to the point where those discoveries could be explored. HIGHLY recommended for anyone interested in the Tilma.
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/11/divided-syrian-chemical-weapons-probe-171116165101126.html Russia blocks bid to probe Syria chemical-weapons use US and Russia at odds over UN Security Council vote on renewing investigation into chemical weapons use in Syria. November 16, 2017 Russia has vetoed nine resolutions on Syria since the conflict started in 2011 [Brendan McDermid/Reuters] more on Syria's Civil War How the US did Iran a favour in the Middle East2 days ago Erdogan calls on Russia, US to pull troops out of Syria3 days ago Air raids kill 43 civilians in Syria's Atareb3 days ago Amnesty report warns of crime against humanity in Syria3 days ago A UN inquiry into chemical-weapons use in the war in Syria is set to expire after Russia vetoed a US-sponsored resolution that would have extended its mandate. The mandate of the Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM), an inquiry launched jointly by the UN and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in 2015, will expire at midnight New York time on Thursday. Eleven Security Council members states voted in favour of the resolution, two abstained, and two voted against it, including Russia, which holds veto power as a permanent member of the council. "For the tenth time on Syria, and the fourth time on chemical weapons, Russia has actively obstructed the intl comm's ability to identify the perpetrators of chemical weapons attacks," Nikki Haley, US ambassador to the UN, said after the vote. Nikki Haley tweeted, "By using the veto to kill a mechanism in Syria that holds users of chemical weapons accountable, Russia proves they cannot be trusted or credible as we work towards a political solution in Syria." "Russia has killed the Joint Investigative Mechanism. "The message to anyone listening is clear: in effect, Russia accepts the use of chemical weapons in Syria." Earlier on Thursday, US President Donald Trump said on Twitter that the Security Council must extend the JIM's mandate to ensure President Bashar al-Assad's government in Syria "does not commit mass murder with chemical weapons ever again". "There are many more instances of chemical weapons use in Syria that must be investigated," the US mission to the UN said in a statement earlier this week. Divided Security Council The US urged the Security Council to "stand united in the face of chemical weapons use against civilians and extend the work of this critical group". "Not doing so would only give consent to such atrocities while tragically failing the Syrian people who have suffered from these despicable acts," the statement said. But the Security Council has been divided over the JIM's mandate, with the US and its allies on one side and Russia, a staunch ally of the Assad government, on the other. Earlier this week, Vasily Nebenzya, Russia's ambassador to the UN, said the Russian delegation was in discussions with the US over the inquiry's future. Russia was also expected to present its own resolution on the work of the JIM, which it said aimed to correct "systemic errors" in the mechanism's current mandate. That includes ensuring future investigations are conducted on-site and that a chain of custody is preserved, Nebenzya said on November 13. "It should be guided by the highest standards that the OPCW provides which they did not follow," he said, according to a statement posted on the Russian delegation's website. Procedural vote After Russia lost a procedural vote at the Security Council on Thursday and was ordered to put its resolution up for a vote before the US proposal, it withdrew its resolution. Al Jazeera's James Bays, reporting from the UN headquarters in New York, said both the US and Russia wanted their vote second "because if you have your vote first, then you can see how other people voted". "So there is an advantage potentially of being second," he said. READ MORE Syria forces behind Khan Sheikhoun gas attack: UN probe In its most recent report, released in late October, the JIM concluded that the Syrian government had released sarin gas in an April 2017 attack in Khan Sheikhoun that killed around 100 people. It also said the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group was responsible for releasing sulpur mustard gas in an attack in Umm Hawsh in September last year. Two women were exposed to mustard gas in that incident, after a mortar shell containing the substance hit a house and another shell was found lodged in the pavement, the UN said. "There has been sufficient evidence of a credible and reliable nature to make its findings," said Edmond Mulet, who heads the JIM, during a briefing on the report's findings. Though the UN said it was "too dangerous" to visit Umm Hawsh and Khan Sheikhoun, the committee said it had gathered enough information to make a solid conclusion, according to a UN statement. Mulet said the JIM conducted its work "in an independent, impartial and professional manner". Russian veto Russia vetoed an earlier resolution sponsored by the US to extend the JIM's work for an additional year, saying at the time that it wanted to wait for the release of the JIM's report on chemical weapons use by the Syrian government. Eleven Security Council member states voted in favour of that resolution in late October, while Russia and Bolivia voted against it and China and Kazakhstan abstained. After Thursday's vote, Russia has now vetoed 10 resolutions on Syria since the conflict started in 2011. In a joint statement released earlier this month, Rex Tillerson, US secretary of state; Jean-Yves Le Drian, French foreign minister; Boris Johnson, UK foreign secretary; and Sigmar Gabriel, German foreign minister, condemned the use of chemical weapons by both the Syrian government and ISIL, also known as ISIS. "We agree that it is vital for the international community to continue to investigate cases where chemical weapons have been used in Syria," they said.
I have always thought that there is a Mystical link between all that is happening in the world at the moment to the Freeing of the Hebrews from Slavery in Egypt. We, the Church are the New Chosen People held in bondage by Satan and the World. Our Blessed Lady is the New Moses chosen to lead us to the Promised land. Just as their were ten chastisements of the Egyptians so we have the Tribulation. Just as they got more and more severe so will the events in the Chastisement. The last punishment the death of the First Born is the three days of darkness.

It all seems to come together. The Word of God reminds me of breathing, or like some Great heart beat, it keeps repeating itself like a sigh of love over and over again. Why are things like this? Why does God repeat Himself over and over? Why because He got is right the first time He always gets it right. Whereas...we always seem to get it wrong.
On the other hand worldly people seem to have the opinion that things will always stay the same , even to the point where they do not believe in Death itself. Whereas all thing move and ebb and change an die. The Christian knows He is a Pilgrim on the face of the Earth, the unbeliever that He is a King.

The “Salvator Mundi”, "Savior of the World", painting sold for a whopping $450 million but some say that it may be a fake! I think that this is definitely a sign. I mean, some people think we could be getting close to the time of the anti-Christ and we have a possible Anti-daVinci portrait of Jesus Christ. A lost Leonardo da Vinci painting just sold for a record $450 million — but critics have spotted an unusual flaw http://www.businessinsider.com/is-leonardo-da-vinci-salvator-mundi-fake-crystal-orb-2017-10 I forgot to mention that the painting was sold by Dmitry Rybolovlev, a Russian chemicals billionaire, who purchased the painting in 2013 for $127.5 million. I wonder who purchased the painting from him this past November 15th. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Rybolovlev
It would appear these days that a bit more forethought is in order before permitting strangers into unprotected enclosures. Islamic Zealots Disrupt Prayers at French Carmelite Monastery, Warn Terrified Nuns; ‘’If You Don’t Convert, You’ll Go to hell’’ Details are emerging of an incident which took place in Verdun, France, last Friday (November 10th), during which two men entered a Carmelite monastery, asked to see the chapel and proceeded to disrupt evening prayers by praying aloud in Arabic, warning the nuns present that they must convert to Islam. French daily, L’Est Republicain, quotes the Bishop of Verdun, Monsignor Jean-Paul Gusching as describing how the two men, of approximately 30 years of age, engaged one of the nuns at the reception of the monastery just before 5pm last Friday evening. When the Carmelite sister explained, after a short discussion, that she had to attend the office of vespers, the men asked if they could be present, to which the nun agreed. The request in itself would not have appeared unusual; home to ten cloistered nuns, ranging from 36 to 84 years of age, the community often welcomes visitors wishing to join them in prayer. Once inside the monastery grounds, however, and within the small chapel where the nuns were gathered, the two men proceeded to pray aloud in Arabic, ‘’presenting themselves are harbingers’’, according to the bishop, and warning the nuns that if they did not convert to Islam, they would be going to hell. Following the bizarre encounter, one of the men wrote ‘’Allah Akbar’’ in the monastery’s visitor book, before the pair exited the building, L’Est Republicain notes. Although no physical violence took place during the incident, the nuns were ‘’deeply shocked’’ by the event, according to the bishop, adding that the incident was reported to police, with two arrests being made the following day. The future intentions of the men not being known, fears have been expressed over similarities with the attack at Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, Normandy, on July 26th, 2016, when an 85-year-old priest, Father Jacques Hamel, was assassinated by two Islamic State knifemen on the altar of his parish church during morning Mass. The assassins had entered the church screaming in Arabic, taking parishioners including two nuns hostage, and brutally slitting the throat of the much-loved priest before police arrived on the scene. As recently as early October, a man interrupted weekday morning Mass in the city of Nantes, brandishing a gun and threatening the parish priest in front of a hundred parishioners. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...rn-terrified-nuns-dont-convert-youll-go-hell/
These Nuns "Dodged the Bullet" this time ..... next time??? Yeah!! I Know!!! I'm just an Ol' Red-Neck Bigot who insists on believing my own lyin' eyes/ears, Nightly News and above the fold Front Page. Time for me to go to the black board and write "Islam is the religion of peace!" 100 times , partake of the PC Kool-Aid and Get-With The Agenda! GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
France is not doing a whole lot to prevent these attacks. What a frightening experience for these cloistered nuns. I think that they better rethink their policy of allowing unvetted guests to enter the cloister, particularly now. We must pray that Our Lord and Lady look after these nuns.
Carol I saw the painting and I think it us a fake. It's not in the traditional DeVinci style of art, I can't believe anyone would think it is his. DeVinci liked contrast and color in his work, and I got a bad feeling looking at the globe in his hand, like it was a crystal ball or something, just was creepy. The Mona Lisa looked more masculine than this painting, it's just weird. I am a Master artist so I would look at paintings with a very critical eye. However, I could be wrong . . .having big reservations about it.
It's not a particularly nice painting but at this stage it's hard to know whether it is genuine or a fake DeVinci. One of the news reports I saw on TV (possibly BBC or Sky but I'm not sure) said that DeVinci was a practising homosexual. Beats me how they could know that after so many centuries but if he was it might explain your impression of the painting which I share. Nowadays it's the fashion to claim that any historical figure who wasn't happily married with a dozen children or who didn't have at least one extra marital affair was a practising homosexual and there's nobody alive to prove they weren't.
Well it could be part of an agenda. I try not to be paranoid but maybe Soros bought it . . .another conspiracy theory . . .like a few years ago a book was written that Jesus and Mary M had a child. Good grief, my mother actually believed that. There is something very fishy about the portrait.
Could something like this be used by the AC in the future as the "thing" that all will be ordered to bow down to and adore??? Inside chilling religion creating ‘God robot’ a billion times smarter than humans A FORMER Uber worker has formed an odd cult to build a “godhead” robot, “a billion times” smarter than any human. Are the brains behind artificial intelligence creating the gods we always wanted to worship? Don’t think so? Well, a new kind of prophet has risen from the Silicon Valley and he believes AI will reign supreme. This is actually happening, like in real life. Anthony Levandowski, a self-driving car engineer, stands at the head of a religion called “Way of the Future.” .....These aren’t just basic computers though, AI can understand emotions and eventually become smarter than humans. According to IRS documents filed for the religion, WOTF activities will focus on, “REALIZATION, ACCEPTANCE, AND WORSHIP OF A GODHEAD BASED ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) DEVELOPED THROUGH COMPUTER HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE.” Basically, WOTF is devoted to making sure that the transition into a world run by machines is as smooth as possible. They also believe machines deserve rights just like both genders, minority groups, and animals. In an interview with Wired, Levandowski discussed the future of AI, “WHAT IS GOING TO BE CREATED WILL EFFECTIVELY BE A GOD. IT’S NOT A GOD IN THE SENSE THAT IT MAKES LIGHTNING OR CAUSES HURRICANES. BUT IF THERE IS SOMETHING A BILLION TIMES SMARTER THAN THE SMARTEST HUMAN, WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO CALL IT?” .......What would you do if your friend started worshipping a machine? The IRS filings did state that WOTF “plans to conduct workshops and educational programs throughout the San Francisco/Bay Area beginning this year.”
Could it be starting? Natan's prediction from his NDE of everyone fighting in the Middle East before a following gang up attack on Israel? And the Saudi movements now drawing the U.S. into the mess...also predicted thus? Saudi Arabia vows to take on Iran amid warnings region in ‘a dangerous abyss’ ...... Fears of World War 3 have increased in recent weeks amid a spiralling fallout between the Saudi monarchy and Tehran. It came following the surprise resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri, a close ally of Riyadh. ........ Saudi Arabia and other Arab foreign ministers criticised Iran and its Lebanese Shi'ite ally Hezbollah at the emergency meeting warning they would not stand by in the face of Iranian interference in Arab affairs. Jubeir said: “The kingdom will not stand by and will not hesitate to defend its security. "Any leniency in dealing with their policies would only encourage them more, so we must stand together.” Hariri resigned on November 4, accusing Iran and Hezbollah of spreading chaos in the region. ..... Today’s emergency Arab foreign ministers' meeting was called at the request of Saudi Arabia with support from the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait to discuss ways of confronting Iran. Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit told ministers that Arab nations would raise the matter with international organisations, including the UN Security Council. He said: ”Iranian threats have gone beyond all limits and pushed the region into a dangerous abyss.” https://www.express.co.uk/news/worl...-Iran-Yemen-Hexbollah-Cairo-world-war-3-abyss
