Controlling the terrestrial origin of all winds that create storms, tornados and hurricanes (Zion-Ethiopian Mountains) is the clandestine mission of the Luciferians. The on-going operation against ancient Christians of Ethiopia, against its churches and monasteries being as part of this mission.

The Holy Bible speaks of the north wind, the south wind, the east wind and the west wind. The four directions have immense spiritual significance. The west wind is symbolic of restoration. The west wind is mentioned only once in the Bible. The east wind brought the locusts and completely destroyed the vegetation in Egpt. But God brought the west wind to remove all the locusts in the land of Egypt and bring about restoration.

„And the LORD turned a very strong west wind, which took the locustes away and blew them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in the territory of egypt.“ [Exodus 10:19]

St. Thomas The Apostle brought Christianity to the south of the Indian Subcontinent to the current Kerela State in 52 AD. The west wind brought such European travelers and explorers like Marco Polo and Vasco da Gama to witness this. Vasco da Gama’s fleet reached India in 1498, the Portuguese were surprised to find Christian communities thriving in Southern India. They were even more surprised by the locals’ certainty that their church had been established by St. Thomas. They shouldn’t have been, as countless travellers, including Marco Polo, had claimed that the saint’s grave was there. St. Thomas had preached to the Hindus and the Jews of southern India and had won thousands of converts.

It was the west wind which brought The Holy Apostle Thomas, the apostle of Jesus Christ to begin God’s spiritual restoration of the Country of India. It must be also remembered that St Thomas landed on the West Coast, but was killed on the East Coast. St. Thomas was martyred on 3 July 72 AD, at Parangimalai, Chennai, in the Chola Empire, India.

🔥 GOING, GOING, GONE! Moment Church Spire Dramatically Topples to Ground in Storm Eunice Gales

THIS is the shocking moment a church spire snaps off and crashes to the ground after it was battered by Storm Eunice.

Damage to the Grade II listed building, built in 1856, has sparked concerns now arisen over its structural stability.

Matt Hodson, 17, who filmed the footage, told ITV news that he noticed the wind take a sudden violent turn when he went into his back garden.

“I was shocked – it was quite a surreal moment. I didn’t really expect it to actually fall – I was just filming just in case,” he said.

Reverend Claire Townes, a priest in at the church, added: “I literally thought to myself the church will be ok, it’s been here since Victorian times – and then two, three minutes later I had a telephone call from the police.”

The church said in a statement on Facebook: “Please do not come to the church to look at the fallen spire.

“We are awaiting the arrival of a structural surveyor as currently we cannot assure safety within the grounds until we know it is safe.”

Thankfully, nobody was injured by the the fallen spire.

The storm has left a trail of destruction in just hours with a shocking windspeed of 122mph recorded in the Needles, Isle of Wight.

☆ Women Cannot Become Priests in The Church

👉 The following is a report from the year 2016

Anglican Church Bans Women From Vicar’s Job on ‘biblical’ Grounds

An Anglican church has banned women from applying to its vacant post of vicar on ‘biblical’ grounds.

Holy Trinity Church in Wallington in south west London will now issue a job advert that specifically excludes female clerics from seeking the job.

The Church of England said such a move was rare but not unique. A spokesman said that because vicars and priests are ‘postholders’ rather than employees, the church does not fall foul of equal opportunities laws.

The decision to bar women from the £25,000 a year job was taken after a vote by Holy Trinity’s parochial church council.

The announcement made in the parish newsletter handed out to the congregation stated: “At our recent open evening we explained the parish church council’s view that the position of the overall leader (vicar) should be male for biblical reasons. Thank you to all those who shared their questions, views and points.

“We have now produced a summary sheet setting out the principle reasons from scripture for maintaining the historic position of this church on this matter.”

Women were first ordained as Church of England priests in 1994. Parishes can opt out of appointing female vicars by applying to the local diocese for ‘alternative oversight’ from a more conservative bishop.

A spokesman from the Diocese of Southwark said: “Although women play a full part in helping to lead a number of activities at Holy Trinity, Wallington they have asked for alternative oversight.

“Bishop Christopher Chessun has agreed to this and such oversight will be provided by the Bishop of Maidstone.

“This allows them to say, as a congregation, that they do not wish to receive the ministry of a woman Bishop or priest and thus to be able to advertise for a male priest.”

The campaign group Women and the Church (Watch) said it hoped that in the future discrimination against women priests would be outlawed but accepted the right of congregations to opt for men-only vicars.

A spokeswoman said: “Although Watch pray for the day when women and men, without caveat, can apply for any role within the Church of England, we accept that this is not currently the case. We endeavour to continue to work together with those with whom we disagree on this point.”

“እኛ ወንድሞችን የምንወድ ስለ ሆንን ከሞት ወደ ሕይወት እንደ ተሻገርን እናውቃለን፤ ወንድሙን የማይወድ በሞት ይኖራል። ወንድሙን የሚጠላ ሁሉ ነፍሰ ገዳይ ነው፥ ነፍሰ ገዳይም የሆነ ሁሉ የዘላለም ሕይወት በእርሱ እንዳይኖር ታውቃላችሁ።”

On the afternoon of November 2 last year, Gebremichael Teweldmedhin, a Tigrayan jeweller and father of nine, headed to work in Gonder, a city in the Amhara region of northern Ethiopia where he had lived for more than three decades.

When Gebremichael arrived in the city, he found a mob looting his nephew’s workshop. Gebremichael begged them to stop. Instead, they turned on him.

One relative, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals, told the Bureau: “The looters took them, Gebremichael along with another 10 or 11 people who worked in that area – by vehicle. We tried to follow them but we were not able to get their whereabouts.

“Then other people told us they were killed. They are buried in a mass grave.”

Gebremichael was not political, his relative said. He was not educated, and did not engage with the hatred and misinformation that swamps Ethiopian social media. Yet his relative claimed online hate campaigns and calls for violence – particularly on Facebook – played a key role in not only his killing, but many others.

“The worst thing that contributed to their killing are the so-called activists who have been spreading hate on social media,” he told the Bureau. Some posts, he claimed, would name individuals or even post photos helping create an atmosphere “inciting attacks, killings and displacements”.

Thousands have died and millions more have been displaced since fighting broke out between government forces and armed opposition groups from the country’s Tigray region in November 2020. The government has also been fighting an armed group from the Oromia region, and the UN secretary general António Guterres said last November that “the stability of Ethiopia and the wider region is at stake”.

On November 9, Mercy Ndegwa, Facebook’s public policy director for East Africa, and Mark Smith, its global content management director, used a blog post to offer reassurances that Ethiopia “has been one of our highest priorities” and that their company “will remain in close communication with people on the ground”.

But the Bureau’s investigation has uncovered a litany of failures. The company has known for years that it was helping to directly fuel the growing tensions in the country. Many of those fighting misinformation and hate on the ground – fact checkers, journalists, civil society organisations and human rights activists – say Facebook’s support is still far less than it could and should be.

A senior member of Ethiopia’s media accused Facebook of “just standing by and watching this country fall apart”. Others told the Bureau that they felt requests for assistance had been ignored and that meetings failed to materialise. These failures, they said, were helping to fuel a conflict that has already led to reports of ethnic cleansing and mass rape. Amnesty International has accused both sides in the conflict of carrying out atrocities against civilians.

All the while posts inciting violence or making false claims designed to encourage hate between ethnic groups in Ethiopia have been allowed to circulate freely. The Bureau has identified and spoken with relatives of people allegedly killed in multiple different attacks, but has not been able to cross-check specific details on the ground because of the ongoing violence.

Facebook said it had worked for two years on a comprehensive strategy to keep people in Ethiopia safe on their platforms, including engaging with civil society groups, fact checking organisations, and forming a special policy unit.

Gebremichael’s family cited one Facebook user in particular: Solomon Bogale, an online activist with more than 86,000 followers on Facebook. Though listed on Facebook as living in London, Bogale’s social media indicates that he has been in Ethiopia since August 2021, with posts of him in fatigues and carrying an assault rifle often accompanied by statements praising the Fano, an Amharan nationalist vigilante group.

In the opinion of one of Gebremichael’s family members, Bogale’s “inciteful posts” had resulted in many attacks on Tigrayans in Gonder.

In the weeks before Gebremichael’s killing, Bogale called for people to “cleanse” the Amhara territories of the “junta”, a term often used by government supporters to refer to the Tigrayan forces fighting the government and Tigrayans more generally. The post continued: “We need to cleanse the region of the junta lineage present prior to the war!!”

On October 31, two days before Gebremichael’s disappearance, Bogale posted an image of an elderly woman holding grenades, with the caption: “#Dear people of Amhara, there are mothers like these who are fighting to destroy Amhara and destroy Ethiopia! The main solution to save the #Amhara people and to protect Ethiopia is we Amharas have to rise up!! Get together Amhara.”

The Bureau has verified that both posts remained up on Facebook almost four months later, along with many others from various sources containing hate speech, calls for violence and false claims. Throughout the conflict misinformation and hate have been deployed on Facebook and other social media, inflaming tensions and influencing the outcome of military operations.

Contacted over Facebook, Bogale denied that any Tigrayans were killed in Gonder in early November, saying all Tigrayans in the city were safe. He also claimed that Tigrayan forces had killed ethnic Amharans in the region.

He also said he would delete the posts cited by the Bureau.

Facebook said it had reviewed the posts flagged by the Bureau and had removed any content that violated its policies. The Bureau found one post had been removed. At the time of publication, the post of the woman holding grenades remained online.

Criticism of Facebook’s failings is made more damning by the extensive evidence that the company has known of the risk of such problems for years, according to disclosures made to the Securities and Exchange Commission and provided to Congress in redacted form by the legal counsel of Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen. The redacted versions received by Congress were reviewed by a consortium of news organisations, including the Bureau.

As early as January 2019 an internal report into various countries’ “On-FB Badness” – a measure of harmful content on the platform, including hate and graphic violence – rated the situation in Ethiopia as “severe”, its second-highest category.

By June 2020, Facebook had become even more starkly aware of the problem. An internal document discussing measures used to assess the level of harmful content said it had “found significant gaps in our coverage (especially in Myanmar and Ethiopia)”.

Six months later, Ethiopia had risen to the top of Facebook’s list of countries where it needed to take action. In a presentation circulated on December 10 2020, the risk of societal violence in Ethiopia was ranked as “dire” – Facebook’s highest threat warning. It was the only country to be given that ranking.

More than a year on, the Bureau’s investigation has found that Facebook is said to have frequently ignored requests for support from fact checkers based in the country and some civil society organisations say they have not met with the company in 18 months. The Bureau has learned from multiple sources that Facebook only appointed its first senior policy executive from Ethiopia to work on East Africa in September.

Facebook does run a third-party fact-checking programme, providing partners with access to internal tools and payment for fact checks. As its website states: “We rely on independent fact checkers to review and rate the accuracy of stories through original reporting.” But it has not partnered with a single organisation based in Ethiopia to tackle the misinformation spread by all sides in the country’s conflict.

Abel Wabella, founder of the Ethiopian fact-checking initiative HaqCheck said Facebook had failed to support his organisation since he first approached executives more than a year ago.

“They told me, ‘OK, we can help you, just write to us, our email.’ They gave me their cards. And I wrote to them,” he told the Bureau. But he heard nothing back. “At that time, our initiative was very small, so I thought they didn’t find something good in our platform, so they wanted to keep silent because of that.”

Wabella sent two further emails over the next few months, the second to the new Facebook executive from Ethiopia he had heard had been appointed. Despite assuring him that she would take action in September, he said he had heard nothing from the company since.

Rehobot Ayalew, HaqCheck’s lead fact checker, said the lack of support had severely hampered her team’s work. “Most of the people have low media literacy, so Facebook is considered to be credible … So working with Facebook, and also checking and verifying Facebook content, is the major way to counter this disinformation.” Wabella added: “The problem is not specific to Tigray. Ethiopian citizens from every corner across ethnic groups were severely affected by hateful content circulating online, specifically Facebook.”

The other major independent fact-checking organisation based in Ethiopia, Ethiopia Check, is also not part of Facebook’s partner programme.

Facebook said it had constantly engaged with civil society organisations and human rights groups on the ground, but did not partner with HaqCheck and Ethiopia Check because neither was certified by the International Fact-Checking Network.

Facebook does work with two fact-checking organisations on content from Ethiopia – PesaCheck, which runs a small team in Nairobi, and Agence France-Presse (AFP) – but both of them are based outside the country. We understand that AFP has just one fact checker in the country but in response to our story Facebook told the Bureau that “both PesaCheck and AFP have teams based in Ethiopia for fact-checking”. While misinformation flagged by PesaCheck and AFP has often been labelled as false or removed by Facebook, content investigated and debunked by HaqCheck has largely remained unaltered and free to spread.

This has included false declarations of military victories on both sides, false allegations of attacks on civilians and false claims of captured infiltrators. On November 25 last year, the Ethiopian government banned all unofficial reporting of battles, further enforcing an information vacuum in which misinformation spreads easily.

“As far as I know, support for fact checkers in Ethiopia by Facebook is almost non-existent,” said the senior person working in Ethiopian media, who asked to remain anonymous. “Facebook doesn’t pay the attention Ethiopia needs at this crucial moment, and that’s contributing to the ongoing crisis by inflaming hatred and spreading hate speech.”

A number of civil society groups have similar complaints of feeling ignored and sidelined. Facebook organised a meeting with several groups in June 2020, to discuss how the platform could best regulate content before scheduled elections. As of November, two of the organisations involved said they had heard nothing about any subsequent meetings.

“The recent development has been overwhelming. Facebook should have had a similar consultation,” said Yared Hailemariam, executive director of the Ethiopian Human Right Defenders Center. “Facebook also ought to have a working group, collaborating with human rights organisations and civil society groups.”

Haben Fecadu, a human rights activist who has worked in Ethiopia, said the hate speech issue was flagged to Facebook years ago but the company had still not provided adequate resources to deal with it

“There’s really no excuse and I wish someone had come down harder on them about it,” she said. “I’ve doubted they have invested enough in their Africa content moderation, and doubt that the Africa team has had enough resources to moderate content properly. They don’t have enough moderators … I suspect they didn’t have a Tigrinya-speaking moderator until very recently.”

Facebook’s owner Meta said in January that it would “assess the feasibility” of complying with a recommendation by its independent oversight board that it launch a human rights assessment of its activity in Ethiopia. The recommendation came after the board directed Facebook to remove a post that claimed Tigrayans were involved in atrocities in the Amhara region.

Ayalew, the HaqCheck fact checker, said the inadequate support from one of the world’s richest companies was demoralising. “We usually come across sensitive content, images that are horrifying and hateful content. It’s hard by itself,” she said. “And when you know that, even though you’re trying, you’re not getting the support from the platform itself, that is allowing this kind of content.

“You ask yourself why? Why am I doing this? Because you know that they can do more, and they can change the situation. They have a big role in this, and they’re not doing anything. You’re trying alone.”

Mercy Ndegwa, speaking on behalf of Facebook, said: “For more than two years, we’ve invested in safety and security measures in Ethiopia, adding more staff with local expertise and building our capacity to catch hateful and inflammatory content in the most widely spoken languages, including Amharic, Oromo, Somali and Tigrinya. As the situation has escalated, we’ve put additional measures in place and are continuing to monitor activity on our platform, identify issues as they emerge, and quickly remove any content that breaks our rules.”

Just over three weeks after Gebremichael’s murder, Hadush Gebrekirstos, a 45-year-old who lived in Addis Ababa, was arbitrarily detained by police who heard him speaking Tigrinya.

“After they knew he was a Tigrinya speaker, they said, ‘This one is mercenary!’ and took him to a nearby police station … They were beating him hard,” said a relative, who also wished to remain anonymous and who was told what happened by witnesses.

“Two days after – on November 26 – his body was found dead, about 200 to 150m from the police station. They threw his body out there.”

Again, Hadush’s relative said he had no political or social media engagement. Again, he believes that it was lies and hate on Facebook that played a key role in causing the killing.

“It really does. Irrespective of reality, because people do not have the ability to verify what was posted on Facebook. Like calling people to kill Tigrinya speaking residents – as a result of hatred and revenge feelings … You don’t even know who is killing you, who is detaining you and who is looting your property. It’s total lawlessness.”

ፍቅር የሌለው እግዚአብሔርን አያውቅም፥ እግዚአብሔር ፍቅር ነውና

❖❖❖[፩ኛ ወደ ቆሮንቶስ ሰዎች ምዕራፍ ፲፫]❖❖❖

፩ በሰዎችና በመላእክት ልሳን ብናገር ፍቅር ግን ከሌለኝ እንደሚጮኽ ናስ ወይም እንደሚንሽዋሽዋ ጸናጽል ሆኜአለሁ።

፪ ትንቢትም ቢኖረኝ ምሥጢርንም ሁሉና እውቀትን ሁሉ ባውቅ፥ ተራሮችንም እስካፈልስ ድረስ እምነት ሁሉ ቢኖረኝ ፍቅር ግን ከሌለኝ ከንቱ ነኝ።

፫ ድሆችንም ልመግብ ያለኝን ሁሉ ባካፍል፥ ሥጋዬንም ለእሳት መቃጠል አሳልፌ ብሰጥ ፍቅር ግን ከሌለኝ ምንም አይጠቅመኝም።

፬ ፍቅር ይታገሣል፥ ቸርነትንም ያደርጋል፤ ፍቅር አይቀናም፤ ፍቅር አይመካም፥ አይታበይም፤

፭ የማይገባውን አያደርግም፥ የራሱንም አይፈልግም፥ አይበሳጭም፥ በደልን አይቆጥርም፤

፮ ከእውነት ጋር ደስ ይለዋል እንጂ ስለ ዓመፃ ደስ አይለውም፤

፯ ሁሉን ይታገሣል፥ ሁሉን ያምናል፥ ሁሉን ተስፋ ያደርጋል፥ በሁሉ ይጸናል።

፰ ፍቅር ለዘወትር አይወድቅም፤ ትንቢት ቢሆን ግን ይሻራል፤ ልሳኖች ቢሆኑ ይቀራሉ፤ እውቀትም ቢሆን ይሻራል።

፱ ከእውቀት ከፍለን እናውቃለንና፥ ከትንቢትም ከፍለን እንናገራለንና፤

፲ ፍጹም የሆነ ሲመጣ ግን ተከፍሎ የነበረው ይሻራል።

፲፩ ልጅ ሳለሁ እንደ ልጅ እናገር ነበር፥ እንደ ልጅም አስብ ነበር፥ እንደ ልጅም እቈጥር ነበር፤ ጎልማሳ ሆኜ ግን የልጅነትን ጠባይ ሽሬአለሁ።

፲፪ ዛሬስ በመስተዋት በድንግዝግዝ እንደምናይ ነን በዚያን ጊዜ ግን ፊት ለፊት እናያለን፤ ዛሬስ ከእውቀት ከፍዬ አውቃለሁ በዚያን ጊዜ ግን እኔ ደግሞ እንደ ታወቅሁ አውቃለሁ።

፲፫ እንዲህም ከሆነ፥ እምነት ተስፋ ፍቅር እነዚህ ሦስቱ ጸንተው ይኖራሉ፤ ከእነዚህም የሚበልጠው ፍቅር ነው።

❖❖❖[፩ኛ የዮሐንስ መልእክት ምዕራፍ ፬]❖❖❖

፩ ወዳጆች ሆይ፥ መንፈስን ሁሉ አትመኑ፥ ነገር ግን መናፍስት ከእግዚአብሔር ሆነው እንደ ሆነ መርምሩ፤ ብዙዎች ሐሰተኞች ነቢያት ወደ ዓለም ወጥተዋልና።

፪ የእግዚአብሔርን መንፈስ በዚህ ታውቃላችሁ፤ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ በሥጋ እንደ መጣ የሚታመን መንፈስ ሁሉ ከእግዚአብሔር ነው፥

፫ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስም በሥጋ እንደ መጣ የማይታመን መንፈስ ሁሉ ከእግዚአብሔር አይደለም፤ ይህም የክርስቶስ ተቃዋሚው መንፈስ ነው፤ ይህም እንዲመጣ ሰምታችኋል፥ አሁንም እንኳ በዓለም አለ።

፬ ልጆች ሆይ፥ እናንተ ከእግዚአብሔር ናችሁ አሸንፋችኋቸውማል፥ በዓለም ካለው ይልቅ በእናንተ ያለው ታላቅ ነውና።

፭ እነርሱ ከዓለም ናቸው፤ ስለዚህ ከዓለም የሆነውን ይናገራሉ ዓለሙም ይሰማቸዋል።

፮ እኛ ከእግዚአብሔር ነን፤ እግዚአብሔርን የሚያውቅ ይሰማናል፤ ከእግዚአብሔር ያልሆነ አይሰማንም። የእውነትን መንፈስና የስሕተትን መንፈስ በዚህ እናውቃለን።

፯ ወዳጆች ሆይ፥ ፍቅር ከእግዚአብሔር ስለ ሆነ፥ የሚወደውም ሁሉ ከእግዚአብሔር ስለ ተወለደ እግዚአብሔርንም ስለሚያውቅ፥ እርስ በርሳችን እንዋደድ።

፰ ፍቅር የሌለው እግዚአብሔርን አያውቅም፥ እግዚአብሔር ፍቅር ነውና።

፱ በዚህ የእግዚአብሔር ፍቅር በእኛ ዘንድ ተገለጠ፥ በእርሱ በኩል በሕይወት እንኖር ዘንድ እግዚአብሔር አንድ ልጁን ወደ ዓለም ልኮታልና።

፲ ፍቅርም እንደዚህ ነው፤ እግዚአብሔር እርሱ ራሱ እንደ ወደደን ስለ ኃጢአታችንም ማስተስሪያ ይሆን ዘንድ ልጁን እንደ ላከ እንጂ እኛ እግዚአብሔርን እንደ ወደድነው አይደለም።

፲፩ ወዳጆች ሆይ፥ እግዚአብሔር እንዲህ አድርጎ ከወደደን እኛ ደግሞ እርስ በርሳችን ልንዋደድ ይገባናል።

፲፪ እግዚአብሔርን ማንም ከቶ አላየውም፤ እርስ በርሳችን ብንዋደድ እግዚአብሔር በእኛ ይኖራል ፍቅሩም በእኛ ፍጹም ሆኖአል።

፲፫ ከመንፈሱ ስለ ሰጠን፥ በእርሱ እንድንኖር እርሱም በእኛ እንዲኖር በዚህ እናውቃለን።

፲፬ እኛም አይተናል አባትም ልጁን የዓለም መድኃኒት ሊሆን እንደ ላከው እንመሰክራለን።

፲፭ ኢየሱስ የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ እንደ ሆነ በሚታመን ሁሉ እግዚአብሔር በእርሱ ይኖራል እርሱም በእግዚአብሔር ይኖራል።

፲፮ እኛም እግዚአብሔር ለእኛ ያለውን ፍቅር አውቀናል አምነንማል። እግዚአብሔር ፍቅር ነው፥ በፍቅርም የሚኖር በእግዚአብሔር ይኖራል እግዚአብሔርም በእርሱ ይኖራል።

፲፯ በፍርድ ቀን ድፍረት ይሆንልን ዘንድ ፍቅር በዚህ ከእኛ ጋር ተፈጽሞአል፤ እርሱ እንዳለ እኛ ደግሞ እንዲሁ በዚህ ዓለም ነንና።

፲፰ ፍጹም ፍቅር ፍርሃትን አውጥቶ ይጥላል እንጂ በፍቅር ፍርሃት የለም፥ ፍርሃት ቅጣት አለውና፤ የሚፈራም ሰው ፍቅሩ ፍጹም አይደለም።

፲፱ እርሱ አስቀድሞ ወዶናልና እኛ እንወደዋለን።

፳ ማንም። እግዚአብሔርን እወዳለሁ እያለ ወንድሙን ቢጠላ ሐሰተኛ ነው፤ ያየውን ወንድሙን የማይወድ ያላየውን እግዚአብሔርን ሊወደው እንዴት ይችላል?

፳፩ እግዚአብሔርንም የሚወድ ወንድሙን ደግሞ እንዲወድ ይህች ትእዛዝ ከእርሱ አለችን።
