~Story of the WeEk~

SMUGGLING

         There was an old woman who crossed the 
  Mexican frontier everyday on a motor scooter
  with a sack of sand behind her.
         The customs officer eventually became 
  suspicious and inquired, " What have you got in 
  that sack?" "Only sand, sir," came the reply.
  The officer emptied the sack and, indeed, it 
  contained nothing but sand. And so it went on 
  for a month.
         One day, the officer said to the old woman,
  "I won't arrest you or say anything to the 
  police, but just tell me: are you smuggling or 
  not?" "Yes," she answered truthfully. "Well,
  what are you smuggling?" he pressed her. With a
  smile, she replied, "Scooters."

Mugiwara Pirates  

Sunday, June 15, 2008

Hi guys! Have you heard ONE PIECE anime? Well, I bet you do and I know you liked it just like everybody else... Well, me and my friends like this anime too..
You know, Pirates are always the BAD GUYS(even in there own show XD)but these so called "BAD GUYS" can teach you what life is all about and why friends are very important that you can't afford to lose them..

It was a time when pirates ruled the seas. Several bands of pirates were battling over the great hidden treasure, One Piece, which was left by the now legendary pirate king, Gol D. Roger. There was a young boy who admired pirates. His name was Luffy. One day, he mistakenly eats a devil’s fruit turning himself into a rubber man.


Ten years have passed since that incident. Luffy sets out to sea all alone. He sets out to become a great pirate captain and his great adventure begins. “I’m going to be the Pirate King! I’m going to get One Piece!”


Here's a profile of one of my Favorite One Piece character outside the Strawhat Crew. Check him out!

English Name: Portgas D. Ace
First Appearance: Chapter 154; Episode 91
Affiliations: Whitebeard Pirates
Occupations: 2nd Division Commander; Pirate
Epithet: "Fire Fist Ace"
Age: 20
Birthday: January 1
Height: 185cm
Bounty: Unknown
Devil Fruit
Japanese Name: Mera Mera no Mi
English Name: Flare Flare Fruit
Meaning: Mera Mera is the sound fire makes.
Type: Logia


Ace is more muscular than the rather lanky Luffy. He also sports rather childish freckles. One of the most obvious features on Ace is his tattoos. Ace has a tattoo on his back of the Whitebeard symbol —a skull with a white mustache and a manji. Ace has another tattoo on his left arm by the shoulder: it reads "ASCE" with the "S" (apparently a mistake on the part of the tattoo artist) crossed out.


Personality

As far as personality goes, Ace is much more intelligent, polite, and generally more bearable than his younger brother, which prompts the Straw Hat crew to question whether he is truly related to their bumbling captain. However he likes to party as much as his brother does.
There are two running gags about him; the first is where he falls asleep while eating leaving everyone around him wondering if he dropped dead, the second is he does a "Dine and Dash" routine wherever he goes.


Relationships
-Crew-

He is a loyal crewman and commands the Second Division of Whitebeard, his captain. So far, Ace hasn't been shown interacting with his crew. However, Ace has a lot of respect for his captain Whitebeard, who to him is the greatest pirate ever. Whitebeard seems unconcerned for Ace's hunt for Blackbeard and remains grounded that it is Ace's duty to kill him regardless, even with heavy warning from Shanks.


This anime teaches a lot of lessons about life! One Piece rocks!

Verichip and Mark of the Beast  

RFID implants and the Verichip


There's just too much evidence to discard the possibility that the Mark of the Beast is a subdermal microchip implant, namely the Verichip
implant. In fact, the language in Revelation strongly supports such an idea.






Verichip and 666 - Epi, Charagma, and Chi-Xi-Stigma


Epi - Looking into the Language of Revelation


One of the most common claims against a microchip implant is that the Mark of the Beast is supposed to be "on" the hand or forehead and not "in" the hand or forehead. Does Revelation 13:16, Revelation 14:9-10, and Revelation 20:4 refer to a mark in the body or on the body?

According to James Strong, both "in" and "on" are valid translations of the Greek word epi. Epi's many definitions include "into", "in a place", and "among", all of which perfectly describe the placement of modern day RFID implants such as Applied Digital Solution's Verichip. The Verichip is easily injected "into" the body "in a place" of the hand or forehead, and remains "among" the flesh.


Charagma - The Mark in Mark of the Beast


The definitions of charagma and the fact that the Verichip is injected using a specialized syringe (called a cannula) make it clear that the Mark of the Beast could very well be a microchip injected into the hand.


Chi-Xi-Stigma Six Hundred Threescore and Six 666

Much like the original authors, the Biblical scholars of the King James Bible (KJV) chose to spell out the number 666 - Six hundred threescore and six. This is one of the rare exceptions in the Bible where words are used rather than numbers to describe a numeric value. God inspired these men to spell it out - Six hundred threescore and six - so that we can gain a further understanding of the Mark of the Beast.



Mark of the Beast in the Hand or Forehead?

As mentioned before, the popular spiritual interpretation for the Mark of the Beast is that our foreheads represent our thoughts and our hands represent our actions. This may be a good start, but presented alone it falls short of the physical implications of a mark that is required to buy and sell.


Ask yourself, where is the most logical place to put a tiny microchip that is injected under the skin, used for payment, and only operates within a couple inches of a reader? The hand is obvious. Literally payment with the wave of the hand.

Biometrics, iris and fingerprint scan.It's likely that for security the RFID reader (called an interrogator) will require a secondary means of validating a person's identity. That validation might occur through the fingerprint or iris at the same time the RFID microchip is read in the hand or forehead. Both forms of biometrics are already routine in the security realm. Is it mere coincidence that Revelation describes the Mark of the Beast being in the hand or in the forehead?


Revelation 13:16-17

16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.


Bottom Line: The End is Near! Prepared or not, Lord Jesus
will come very soon!!
Those who will not take the Mark of the Beast
will be saved!

The Black and the Gold  

God’s Boxes

I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold."

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day,
The black was as light as before.

With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.

I showed the hole to God, and mused,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me."

I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole?
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."
