Strange Worldwide Noise spreads to Ireland, even discussed by the Irish government

A phenomenon of people around the world hearing a strange buzzing noise has increased over the last number of weeks, and has now spread to County Kerry in Ireland.  A local TD visited the site, and he also heard the sound which be described as a low pulsating noise, of which fourteen households in the area had recently made a complaint. The TD went on to raise the issue at the Irish Dail (parliament).

The strange noises have also been heard in Canada, England, Arizona and a heap of other locations prompting people to post videos onto Youtube to record the strange phenomenon.  Scientists say that it is a low pitch sound which only some people hear (as everyone has different range in what decibels they hear).  Despite scientists knowing what it is, they do not know where it is coming from.

Various theories have sprung up which include; noise from outer space, noise from underwater waves colliding, technology reaching breaking point, electro magnetic waves in the atmosphere, acoustic-gravity waves and the list goes on.  Below is a news report by CTV news about the event.


In some cases the mysterious sound has been said to sound almost like a trumpet, although the sounds in Ireland have been a lot more muffled.  This has led many to point to the Book of Revelations and its 'seven trumpets' that are heard before the end of the world.  If that is the case we could be on the brink of a disaster where 'blood and fire' will destroy a third of the Earth's population!

But the truth is, we simply do not know what has caused it, only that it is real and it is happening right now!  But hose who have witnessed the event have been confused by it, or even scared by the strange phenomenon.

Old Document Review 'The confession of Prous Boneta'


Na Prous Boneta (d.1328) made her confession before an Inquisition in 1325, she was associated with a break away group which had become convinced that they were living in the end times.

Boneta believed that all seven seals had been opened during her own lifetime, and applied the characters in the Book of Revelations to people of her time.  She identified the two witnesses as being Francis of Assisi and Olivi, and that the current pope, Pope John XXII was actually the Antichrist!  Whats more unbelievable is that she goes on to identify herself as the woman that appears in Revelations 12, and that she seen herself as the only one worthy of opening the seals.  

It is easy to see why she had been brought before the Inquisition for her beliefs, yet, it is interesting to see that even back in the 14th Century there was those who believed that they lived in the end times, a belief which re-occurs over and over even to the present day, and it also shows how wrongly people can interpret prophecies.

Old Document Review 'On the Seven Seals of the Apocalypse'


This ancient document was written by Joachim of Fiore (d.1202) and features his interpretations of what the seals in the Book of Revelations represent.  Joachim sees the seals as representing the story of the church between the first and the second coming of Jesus.

However his understanding goes much deeper, when Joachim looks at history he sees a link to the Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are matched to the Old Testament, the life of Jesus and the New Testament.  Whats more, is that each of these eras can be broken down into seven periods of time which will match with the corresponding period in the next era.  These seven periods are also represented by the seven seals which are laid out in the Book of Revelations.  As always periods of time divided into seven can also be linked to how the Mayans viewed time, each period of time is seen to have seven days and six nights.

For example the first period in the Old Testament is seen from Abraham to the promised land, which is matched to the New Testament period of time from John the Baptist to the early church.  This matching carries on as far as the sixth seal which Joachim seen as matching against his own era, and everything that was happening during his lifetime such as the crusades and so on.  Joachim foretells that soon the Catholic Church shall be overthrown or challenged by a new church (the rise of Protestants?) and he sees this as the time where Satan will be bound up into his prison.  Then in the seventh seal will be the second coming.
