Two major disruptions have occurred within approximately 24 hours of each other, and the situation is serious. I’ve checked today’s breaking reports, including Reuters and the Associated Press.
Here is what we know so far.
1. FAA orders nationwide flight ground stop
The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered departing aircraft across the United States to remain on the ground because of serious air traffic control communications problems.
- All 22 regional air traffic control centers have reportedly been affected.
- Aircraft already flying can continue toward landing.
- International flights are being handled individually.
- No definite time for restoring normal operations has been announced.
2. Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft 365 experience major outages
The disruption began Thursday and continued into Friday, affecting email and other Microsoft services.
Microsoft says an overloaded process responsible for establishing secure connections caused affected servers to stop processing requests.
Microsoft reports that recovery is underway and says the incident was not a cyberattack.
3. Federal officials investigating the aviation failure
Homeland Security officials describe the FAA incident as a telecommunications outage. Preliminary reports indicate no evidence of a cyberattack.
Officials say all aircraft are accounted for and there is no immediate indication of a threat to passengers.
Are these two incidents connected?
That is the biggest unanswered question.
The Microsoft disruption and FAA communications failure happened close together, but investigators have not established a connection.
There are several possibilities being discussed: unrelated technical failures, problems with aging infrastructure, or a broader technology issue. There is currently insufficient evidence to conclude that the outages were coordinated or deliberately caused.
This is exceptionally unusual. Since September 11, 2001, the United States has experienced only two comparable nationwide ground stops: January 2023 and today.
A prolonged shutdown could disrupt travel, cargo transportation, business operations, and deliveries. Even after the FAA restores communications, airlines may need considerable time to recover their schedules.
What I would watch next
The most important developments are whether the FAA restores nationwide communications, whether investigators identify a common technical cause, and whether other critical infrastructure begins experiencing similar failures.
So, What Should You be Doing Right Now?
Don’t Make Assumptions
Prepare for a “Likely Scenario”
We cannot assume that because of these two events, the world is coming to an end, and incredible chaos is about to begin. However, what we can do is to be prepared, should something happen, tht we are all set, and ready to navigate through the problem.
Our Plan
First and foremost, our number one “go-to” is our relationship with God. This is not a last-ditch effort, but something that we should acknowledge as the most important item in any of our plans.
Have faith that God sees you in difficult times, and that He is on the team in seeing you through. He has got me out of several life and death situations before, and I know that He has the power and desire to do the same with anything that is coming.
Secondly, our plan can be generalized, by answering the following question… “What do you need to care for those you are responsible for, should we be totally on our own for a week or so?”
Examples Might Include
Food
Water
A way to Stay Warm
Necessary Medication
Toilet paper
*Protection (Pepper Spray or Firearms)
I must tell you that pepper spray is an incredible deterrent, without the
consequence of death. It might be your ideal first choice of protection.
This is your call. Also, if you choose firearms, have a clear understanding
of when you would use this BEFOREHAND. Do not wait until you are
placed in an actual dangerous position to know how you will respond.
*The Bible (KJV) addresses the use of deadly force in self-defense, particularly in Exodus 22:2–3.
Exodus 22:2–3 (KJV)
“If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.”
“If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.”
What does this mean?
These verses make an important distinction between defending yourself against an immediate threat and using deadly force when that threat may no longer exist.
- Verse 2: If a thief breaks into a home at night and is killed while the homeowner is defending himself, the law of Moses does not hold the homeowner guilty of bloodshed.
- Verse 3: If the incident occurs during daylight, the law treats the killing differently, suggesting that deadly force is not automatically justified merely because someone is stealing.
What did Jesus teach?
Luke 22:36 (KJV)
“…and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.”
Jesus instructed His disciples to obtain swords, although the interpretation of this passage and its application to self-defense are debated.
Matthew 26:52 (KJV)
“Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.”
Here, Jesus restrained Peter from using violence when Jesus was being arrested.
The biblical distinction is between protecting innocent life and taking revenge. Scripture recognizes circumstances involving defensive force, but it does not give unlimited permission to kill someone simply because they are trespassing or stealing. Can you see the difference here? Do you understand the teachings of Christ? I think that it is worth additional thought on all of our behalf, to identify how Jesus Christ would want us to react.
So then, when you have identified these things, try to have these readily available for you. Assume that you, (and your family), will be on your own for a short period of time, and prepare for that.
Something that I have just learned is very insightful.
If the power were to go down, the first thing that people will consider doing is to run to the store for supplies. (If you already have those, you can skip this step, as you are already ahead of the crowd.)
One of the FIRST things you should do during a prolonged power outage is to immediately begin filling your bathtub and any available containers with water, especially if you do not already have an emergency water supply stored.
Here is why this is so important.
Many municipal water systems depend on electricity to operate pumps that move water into elevated storage tanks. These tanks use gravity to distribute water throughout the community, allowing water to continue flowing even when the electricity goes out.
However, if the power outage continues for an extended period, and backup pumping systems are unavailable, the stored water can eventually be depleted. When that happens, you could turn on your faucet and discover that there is no water!
By filling your bathtub and other containers while water is still available, you are taking an important step to protect yourself and your family BEFORE the situation becomes critical.
Now, with a plan in place, you can allow some of the anxiety to leave you. When you hear increasing details about the situation not being resolved, or even worsening, you can rest in the peace of knowing that you are prepared for what might come.
Let me zoom out for just a moment here.
Can you see the value of God’s prophecies for the end times in your life? For those of us that KNOW what is coming, we have been preparing through our study and knowledge. We are very aware that things will increasingly get “worse” until the final arrival of Jesus Christ.
We know this because God wants us to know what is happening. For this is why He has revealed all of this information through His Prophets, as promised in this scripture.
Amos 3:7 (KJV)
“Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”
God reveals His plans and purposes to His prophets before He judges the earth. He has already revealed His plan for our days, to His prophets, thousands of years ago. His plan is recorded in the Bible.
Looking at the “big picture” allows us to see that these things are not just happening because of Bad Luck, or Coincidental Circumstance, The end times prophecies are actually being played out right in front of us.
If you are waiting for a current “prophet” to reveal Gods plan for the end times, he is not going to, for God already has. I must sharply warn some of you, that it is time to “get in the game,” and start following the true prophets which God has already spoken to, revealing His plan.
There is no more time for continued deception. Please run to God and start trusting HIM as the final authority, and guidance in these “Last Days.”
I will continue to monitor things for you, and keep you undated as things change.
Once again, I need to remind you, that there will be a time when the communication of the internet might not be possible. Again, you do not need ME, for you have got God to lean on as the ultimate beacon of light to guide you.
I am EXCITED to be able to witness first hand the events of our day, and to be so blessed as to know what is coming through God’s teachings shared with the prophets. We are truly blessed!!
Keep the faith…and a flashlight. =)
