“Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand. And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon. And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof. And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia: To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.” 2 Chronicles 36:17-21, KJV
“And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.” Jeremiah 25:11-12, KJV
“For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.” Jeremiah 29:10, KJV
“In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.” Daniel 9:1-2, KJV
“Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?” Zechariah 7:5, KJV

Article: “Science and Technology: The Forbidden Knowledge?”:
Dear friends, as I have mentioned to you before, the utility systems here on Guam are quite antiquated, and are constantly in need of repair. Longtime residents here know that our local government and its various agencies are to blame, because they are wasteful, rarely proactive, very poor on maintenance, and major procrastinators.
The situation was already bad enough before Typhoon Mawar struck our island in May 2023. Sadly, the typhoon just emphasized the problems we already knew exist here, and exacerbated some of them, namely our power grid problems.
So according to the Pacific Daily News article link included below, we can expect load shedding — or temporary power outages — to continue for another six to nine months while they continue to make repairs on our island’s power generators. Some of these generators are literally years past their recommended power generation capabilities. As a result, they are falling apart constantly. Thus the need for constant repairs to them.
The end result is that since Typhoon Mawar, basically, just about every day, my power goes out for an hour, sometimes unexpectedly, even though they do publish an outage schedule. Sometimes the power goes out twice in a day. This is because the remaining generators are simply unable to generate enough power for the entire island, particularly during peak usage hours during the late afternoon and evening.
As you can imagine, this situation is very frustrating, to say the least; not only because these power fluctuations, surges and outages can damage my electronic equipment — I have lost two external backup drives over the years — but also because the outages make the Bill’s Bible Basics ministry unreliable for my online friends who are trying to read things on my website. The almost four months that I was offline due to Typhoon Mawar no doubt caused me to lose a lot of my online followers. It is time-consuming to build back up a following. But there isn’t much that I can do about it other than to grin and bear it.
But if the truth be told, I suspect that we will continue to have serious power grid problems beyond 6 to 9 months, and that load shedding will possibly continue until the new 198-megawatt Ukudu power plant comes online. They are saying that will happen around January of 2026. However, knowing how things work around here, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more delays, and the new power plant doesn’t come online until well after that. We shall see.
So, if you happen to click or tap on any links in any of my social network posts, and they don’t work because you are unable to access the Bill’s Bible Basics website, I ask you to please be patient, and try again in an hour or so. God bless you, and thanks so much.
