Jesus tells us: Do not fear despite dire prophecies
“For the Lord GOD does nothing without first revealing his secret to his servants, the prophets” -Amos 3:7.
I again felt the need to cite this Bible text because, every now and then, I still feel bothered by my sharing terrifying prophecies from Catholic mystics. There are people who have told me they avoid reading this column because they would rather have a sunshiny day, while others have, one way or another, openly expressed resentment towards me.
But again I repeat what I must have written several times in this space: the warnings are from Heaven and they are dovetailed with a call to let others know.
It will help that I quote prominent Catholic evangelist, author and, mind you, top engineer Daniel O’Connor as saying: “Prophetic warnings of future calamities exist within Our Lord’s own words in the Gospels, and have continued throughout Church history to this present day. A dire prophecy does not make it false; it merely suggests the gravity of sin at a particular period of time and the urgency for sincere conversion. It is not up to the seer to edit Heaven’s words based on the possibility of hurting other’s sensitivities, but upon the faithful to respond to such messages with faithful obedience and courage.
Marian visionaries are telling us we are in the end of an era, some of them use
the word apocalypse. But then, they also stress that the world is not yet ending.
Read the signs: in the most unusual weather, in the strange phenomena such as UFOs and other strenge manifestations in the skies as never before, in the millions of babies being killed before they are given the chance to be born, in readily-accessed pornography and in sex-related aberrations that have become norm and, yes, this Covid 19 that has changed the way we live daily.
Nay, the conflict is now being directed against God Himself.
The project involved 300 farmers led by young farmer-entrepreneurs Jeffrey Fernandez and Rap Pelayo of Jel Farms.
According to Fernandez and Pelayo, with the present set-up, a farmer is can earn up to P90,000 to P100,000 net of expenses per hectare. Same goes with another in-demand agricultural product for Japan – edamame. Both products are in demand in the cities of Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe and Nagoya in Japan.
Harvesting schedules are from September to July, while planting can be done all year round.
Targeted for okra and edamame plantation expansion is 900 to 1,000 hectares.
Dar however said the earnings could easily reach up to P120,000 per hectare for both okra and edamame if the farmers could avail of a cold storage, which he assured the farmers’group, would be prioritized by his office.
“Under my watch, I assure you that the Department of Agriculture will extend all the assistance we can give to every farmer, including the group involved in this okra-edamame exportation to Japan, to enhance our agricultural production, and in the process, advance the livelihood of our farmers,” said Dar.
