Here is a quote from another site on the subject of frogs....
"God threatened a plague of frogs for a specific reason. The Egyptian goddess Heqt was always pictured with the head of a frog. For this reason frogs were considered sacred and could not be killed. God will show the Egyptians the foolishness of a frog-god!
i. Egyptians worshipped the frog as a female goddess because frogs were common around the Nile, because they reproduced rapidly, and because being amphibians they are part of two worlds, creatures of both land and water."

Note in particular the matter of God showing the Egyptians the foolishness of thier Sciences and faith...the issue was not just frogs...but thier ability to reproduce...hmmm.
Noah...water....Elijah...fire, hmmm
early Egypt...an abundance of Frogs...latter Egypt the lack thereof...frogs are rapidly dissapearing from the face of this planet...it is very serious...the don't seem to reproduce so well now...not to the point that they can outrace the mysterious diesease which threatens all of us, by taking them from our presence.
Fooishness of the world...God Mocking the same with a plague...interesting.
Would like to read some more of that letter sent last April 10th?
It went on to include a letter sent on the 6th of April, whose opening two lines were:
"I was told to tell you About the snow,…"OVER SUNDAY".
It would seem that God is mocking this world, and their primary god science."
You see when the media cited on February 2, 2007 that Winter was over. I wrote them a letter, telling them they wrong...and so were their rodents. Forecast after forecast, God had me contact them, mocking them.
It probably would not have been an issue of frustration to them if I were continually wrong.
The letter from April 6th went on in the April 10th letter (as another "freak" winter storm set records in several cities, as I recall...in five states.(Another issue mentioned by the spirit much last year...something about 5th and states, and perceptions, perhaps not unlike constituional rights, double jeaopardy and the like....anyway)
I wont post the letter in it's entirety, but if you request a copy, I will send it to you.
But this will wrap this point up and next we will address Lice and Gnats.

"Don't get me wrong, science is a good thing in and of itself as all truth flows from God, but when truth itself or the means by which it is discovered is elevated above God it ceases to be truth, and becomes an idol. When science proves itself to be in align with the grand design of our creator we sometimes go about with a sort of proud "I told you so" rejoicing. But over the course of time it seems that some require science to prove the Bible, not the actual existence of the work, the ink, the paper, often the price tag are all tangible enough. It is when an attitude that looks to science to dictate the parameters of their faith, one that uses science to determine the foundations of that which they accept versus that which the dismiss or overlook even in biblical matters, it is then that
Science is elevated above God.
Redefining Winter???
I seem to recall that at least 3 weeks to a month or so before the official start of winter on October 12, 2006 there was a "freak lake effect snowstorm"
( these are the words actually used by one source, I seem to recall it was in the government report of the event )
and now here we are nearly 3 weeks after the official start of spring and this country still experiences the blunt of a "Freak spring snowstorm
"(description used by one newsource) just a week or so after what ( after the official onset of spring ) would be called ( one last time ) "A late season winterstorm."
One which would effect the warm temperatures which preceded it to cause extremely turbulent winds which would sweep across this land spawning more tornadoes, flash flooding and the like.
I warned several weeks ago that the insect population was going to be effected this summer, this morning on the CBS Early Show, leading world scientist were reported to warn of insect infestations…interesting."
