Ocean Tragedy Truth

The world held their breath for 96 hours hoping and praying that the 5 souls onboard would be rescued. Most had no idea of what the problem was, if they had communications, and if there was a tour company back up plan for rescue if things went wrong.

We thought they might be rescued in the nick of time, and worried they would die just before the rescue team arrived. 

We came to later learn the sub imploded at the time communication was lost that first day. The truth of this disaster, is the designer and captain of both the titanic and titan sub blatantly rejected safety concerns and that took people to their death. 


Stop Exploring?
Many people commented that perhaps folks shouldnt be doing underwater exploration, but we have space exploration, we have military sub exploration, we have oceanographic exploration, we have deep divers, free divers, as well as ship explorers for thousands of years. We also have hige aquariums and restauraunts built underwater as well as tunnels for transportation. 

There is always a danger and chance of death in exploring space or sea depths, just as with car accidents, surgery or freak tragedies.

Grave disturbance or just metal wreckage?
Some say it is a grave site where souls might be ghosts or not to disturb graves, but we have 9/11 memorials, and Pearl Harbor memorial and other disaster and war sites where people died, just as most land today has been stained by countless wars and feuds globally yet we still excavate, gain archeology and history knowledge of it, and know that ghosts dont exist. The living live on. We are standing on untold thousands of bodies buried under us and under buildings today. 

Tech will get better and it will be safe to sea explore later in the future. We didnt stop going to space when Challenger blew up (and the entire nation and schools watched it explode after launch), planes disappear even to this day or crash, cars crash and many die from that annually too. All kinds of ways people die, this is just another. 

Do you rejoice when rich people die?
Rich folks were onboard Titanic too, yet you call for resting in peace for them and advocate kindness, but not for current rich folk? (1)

Are you hating on rich people, is it becuz you dont have what they have and if you did you wouldnt hate rich people? We are all humans and all live and die. (2)

Being glad a person is dead is horrible to say. Everyone has value and purpose in this life. Hating them because they have more than you is (3) not right. Please love others and be content in your life, whether rich or poor. 

Today people have greater options to make money both in investing and in starting their own side business and income streams, than another time in history. You are more wealthy than most of the world ever was, and more than 3rd world country people currently are. Should they also wish you to be dead? No. We need to value life and love one another as we love ourselves. I hope you will. 

Folks should not be happy anyone died regardless of their financial status. 

What's Next?

I think it would be neat to travel the ocean. But even tho i was a mil sailor, i would not even be interested in subs. I will prefer waiting until the Millennial Kingdom and be able to explore it at any depth and see anything with eyes that can see it all and enjoy it, before this corrupted fallen earth is replaced with a perfect eternal one 😊.

Sad to think they died sooner and quickly. It means they didnt have additional time to get eternal matters settled. It tends to be that way for most people...

Death stalks us all. 160k die every day. One day we will all die. It likely wont be at 100, it could be today, tonight, tomorrow or in 5 minutes. Unlike those lost on the sub, God has given you a bit more time, Today is the day of salvation. Get right with him today, right now, before it is too late. 

And it is no coincidence he led you here to read this today. God used this tragedy as one more reminder that death is coming. 

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23


Death stalks us all. It is the great equalizer. But where we go isn't equal. It depends on what one does with Jesus.

Rejoice not when your enemy falls, And let not your heart be glad when he stumbles: Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him... Proverbs 24:17-18 

Be content with what God has given you. 

Money is not useful to you if you die today. 

Love your enemy and pray for them 


(3) Coveting & greed are wrong, and hatred in your heart is equal to murder in God's eyes.
