This is in both ears! I'm going to keep an eye on the dogs and see if they notice anything or act strangely. They are usually my early warning system. We'll see. |
^Watcher^ (OP) User ID: 1507851 United States 08/24/2011 11:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Air pressure changes are likely to be because of the approaching hurricane as well..... Quoting: ravenous rant I won't rule that out. TWC (according to another thread here) said this thing could strengthen to a CAT 6! Hard to believe but that would certainly cause some low atmospheric pressure, I would think. |

I've been having ear ringing and pressure in the States as well as here in Costa Rica. I just had a medical exam and all tests came back normal so I a considering this to be sensitivity to atmospheric/solar changes and possibly electromagnetic radiation. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1310657 United States 08/24/2011 12:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Watcher, do you think along with what you're experiencing as well as the reports of strange noises being heard that the "Rocks are crying out" Here's an article with Link. I feel my spirit saying this is what's starting to happen. I could be wrong though. I would be interested in getting your opinion.. [link to www.christianblog.com] The Stones Will Cry Out When I wrote Fact or Fiction , I couldn't stop a Bible verse from popping up in my head. The verse didn't seem to go with that blog so I let the thought pass. Days later, the verse keeps coming back. Luke 19:40 "I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."niv This was during the Triumphal Entry when the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"' Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"' vs. 38-39 Jesus then makes this statement about the crowd voicing praise to God. That if they are silenced the stones will cry out. When Jesus gave up his spirit on the cross, the earth shook and the rocks split. Matthew 27:50-51. In Mark 13:8 Jesus tells us there will be earthquakes in various places, these are the beginning of birth pains. Is this rock splitting in Matthew the stones crying out? Is it the same during the earthquakes during the end times...birth pains, crying out? Is it as simple as that? The greek word used here is krazo. I'm using the 2nd definition: to cry. Cry out aloud, speak with a loud voice. As the disciples were praising God in this passage, I will assume that it is praises to God that Jesus is saying the stones will cry out. I am also going on the premise that if Jesus said the stones will cry out' that this is then possible. How can a stone, a piece of rock cry out praise to God? What would that sound like? In South Africa there are boulders known as Rock Gongs. These are natural boulders that sit on top of another or have a natural split in them that resonates sound when they are struck. This article goes into more detail. The sound made is described as an eerie, metallic, elemental sound that would travel over the landscape. The rocks are made of dolerite, aka ironstone. Ironstone is an iron ore. If you crush iron ore,limestone and coal and heat it up you get steel. Two of the ingredients in steel is crushed stone. Here's a real heady article on the occurrence of sound in steel. It goes into great detail about the crystals (crushed rock) in the steel and how they're formed and arranged during the heating/cooling process. "Then we can expect that each such class of crystals and grains has its own resonant frequency, a frequency at which it oscillates within the bounds of its neighbors being retained by valence bonds." So steel, like that used on a steel string guitar, is nothing more than ground up stones with some carbon(coal) thrown in and heated up. In both these instances, the gong rocks and the steel strings, both have a voice'. In between the natural gong rock and the man made steel is another rock' formation known as dripstone. The stone is not in it's natural state like the dolerite, but also has not been altered by man like the steel, though it's formation still occurs by natural means. These dripstone formations are able to produce beautiful sound when struck. I have made several visits to Luray Caverns in Virginia and have had the opportunity to listen to this sound. Eerie only because you are underground. Glorious because it is God's creation making such music. Each formation having it's own voice'. Whether it is a musical voice that the stones would cry out or a groan because His people are not, I do not know. I do know that it is possible, first because Jesus said it is. I don't want the stones crying out in my place. I want to be one of the ones praising God with my voice. "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" Luke 19:38 |

I forget when and where. Too lazy to search. Today I have a headache and feel very tired. My pup is acting very weird, he won't come inside and keeps running off. He's in lock down as I type. He never runs off .... what a stink bomb he is today |
Geowild User ID: 1512542 United States 08/24/2011 12:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey! My daughter who lives down the hill from me says that all yesterday she kept having a feeling of sliding sideways. Driving to work, she said, "Should I really be operating a vehicle right now?" Well, I felt that way too and right now, I am feeling a sort of pressure/disorientation feeling similar to yesterday, even before the earthquake. Hope to see you tomorrow for lunch!!!! 11:30..You know the place;;;YUM!!!!! |

KoFFee_ User ID: 1373078 United States 08/24/2011 12:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | God's Peace be with you today. I have been feeling pressure in my ear, too. Apparently it is a common happening among other people. At first I thought there was something going on with my hearing, but now I think it might be something to do with the atmospheric pressure. It occurs mainly in my left ear--pressure--some days more severe than other days. Sometimes I develop a headache--and again--those headaches have turned to migraines often. I did have this happen over the past 3 days--it let up a little yesterday. Today, most of it is gone. I am in Michigan. I know the barometric pressure here has some wild swings and we are in for a severe afternoon storm here. Can't tell now, the sun is out and its beautiful! Anyways, thought I would just let you know that you can count me in as one who is experiencing strangeness in my ear. PRAY AND PREPARE However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24 "This man really is the Savior of the world!" John 4:42 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, " says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:7 |
