I think this is a terrific example of selective number-matching to further one’s beliefs in a self-fulfilling way. It’s not convincing because obviously, many other disasters do happen on other days of the month.What’s listed are only the disasters that happened to be on the 26th.There are also no proper statistics in terms of percentage below to show that most major disasters happen on the 26th.I would believe there is some truth in it if 99% of disasters in history happen on the 26th. Then again, if it is so obvious, the scientists would have discovered this pattern already.If it is true that disasters tend to happen on the 26th, it could be due to lunar cycles playing a part; not
god – but this is unlikely too.
It is expected that adherents of the below will rationalise that only major disasters in recent times happen on the
26th but how recent is recent? The only slightly ancient date below is 1700. Why not list all the way all the
disasters and show how many happened on the 26th? And how major is major? More than 1 dying, or 1000 or
10000 or… ? Yet, to 1 person bereaved of 1 family member, it is already a major disaster to that person.
The recent 2011 Christchurch quake is considered a major disaster in New Zealand’s recent history – but it
happened on the 22nd of Feb. Does this mean it was not the ‘rage of god’? What is it due to then, to god-
believers? The rage of the devil? (In Buddhism, there is collective karma of individuals at play, as reflected through the experiences of the elements in motion.)The Japan Richter-scaled 9 earthquake-tsunami in 2011,
which is definitely major also did not happen on the26th. It was on the 11th of March.
The theory below, on disasters happening on the 26th is self-conceived too – not said in the Hebrew scriptures.
It’s just selective number play. The idea that there is a god spares some in terms of killing many to save many is
horrifying too, yet typical of the imagery of an angry god believed by some, who are god-fearing and wish others
to be likewise so. If there is an almighty good and all-powerful creator god, he would have created a paradise
void of evil and disasters in the first place, and not need to terrorise the world using disasters, which does not
prove he exists anyway.
"Just to be care ful, avoid going to be aches , s ailing and fishing at s ea on the 26 of any month."
IT JUST CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE!!
IT’S good to ponder over this.
HAGGAI 2:6 – The LORD of Hosts says:
“Before long, I will shake heaven and earth, sea and dry land”
The Hebraic numerical value of the Hebrew letters of God’s Holy name:
YHVH is 26! Something to think about!This matches your Haggai 2:6
reference perfectly! He is shaking the nations! In His mercy and grace
He’ll shake some to save many! Blessed be His Name!
Shalom Aleychem!
