Don Flowers gave a link to the NASA site with a diagram of the transit of Mercury on Wed, Nov 8.Interestingly, the picture appears reversed, as the West is on the right side. But it shows Mercury coming from the East to the West, just like lightning, which is quick. The Latin name "hydrargyrum," from which its chemical symbol Hg comes, means water-silver, or liquid silver."For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Matt 24:27"For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day." Luke 17:24Mercury is classified as a volatile element, one that lives mostly in the Earth's crust. Its geochemical cycle starts with volcanic activity as magma invades sedimentary rocks. Mercury vapors and compounds rise toward the surface, condensing in porous rocks mostly as the sulfide HgS, cinnabar.Hot springs can also concentrate mercury, if they have a source of it down below. But deposits of all kinds are usually small and rare. The delicate element doesn't last long in any one place. For the most part, mercury vaporizes into the air and enters the biosphere.
Mercury can be found below hot springs. I am reminded of the many hot springs at Yellowstone, especially the one known as "Old Faithful". It is known that there is a supervolcano beneath Yellowstone, and it is only a matter of time before it blows. Colorado Springs, only hours away, is also is surrounded by hot springs nearby. Colorado Springs is the headquarters of so many churches and evangelical Christian groups that it earned the nickname the "Protestant Vatican". It is very interesting, maybe a warning, that Colorado Springs has been in the news lately with the confession from pastor Ted Haggard that he bought drugs and paid for the services of a gay male escort over the last three years."For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" 1 Peter 4:17Medievel alchemists believed mercury was the base of all metals, and that gold could be reduced to mercury through sulfur. Fire and brimstone. Hot springs blowing up fire and brimstone, mercury and sulfur, when the super volcano blows. Strong's Concordance #1614 Hebrew word for brimstone is gophriyth, or sulphur. The word brimstone in Greek is Strong's #2303, theion, which also translates as sulphur.We were told it will be as it was in the days of Lot:"Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed." Luke 17: 28-30
