I can barely see 3 blocks here in Seoul. I never saw the air this bad. Anyone know the news if this dangerous stuff or just fog?

Isaiah 13:10
The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light.


Mark 13:24
But in those days, following that distress, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.

Today was supposed to be abundant sunshine according to the weather report a few days ago. Then today at one point the sun looked like a full moon. Then it was completely gone. END TIME SIGN? When the above were first written, of course the sun was darkened often. By clouds, fog, an eclipse, when it went down at night. However, there must be something special about it being darkened to be end times prophesy. In other words, something needed to be different. It needed to be darkened in a way that was not happening when those words were first written. Well, at that time there was not all of the air pollution we have today. And, if that were still the case, today would have been abundant sunshine as predicted in the forecast. I guess a two thousand year old forecast can be more reliable than a two day old one. Very Happy

When the air has just 42% humidity and the pollution readings are through the roof?

http://www.airkorea.or.kr/ (the particulates level in Seoul today is SEVEN TIMES the recommended maximum of 50 set by the World Health Organization)

The winters here usually have pollution because the summer winds and rains from the south are replaced by the crap from China heading eastward.

Clear blue skies here on Jeju today, green dots compared to Seoul's red ones. But it was bad earler in the week.

The haze of fall and winter is NOT natural. But people lie to themselves all the time to make themselves feel better.

I've noticed an ash-like smell lately--stronger than usual, is there any possible way that this is from the volcano in Indonesia? Like perhaps the ashes got into the upper atmosphere? I would think no! But I'm certainly no expert.

It's just fog, but if it is pollution, it's from China. Sparkling Korea!

A lot of farmers burn their fields at the end of harvest getting it ready for rotation, most likely that's why what you're smelling
