World’s most powerful radio telescope unveils first images
The small town of Carnarvon, 600 kilometres north of Cape Town in South Africa, is putting itself on the map as a home of what will soon become the world’s most powerful radio telescope.
The MeerKAT telescope is currently operating at just a quarter of its potential but it still managed to reveal 1,300 galaxies in a tiny corner of the universe where only 70 were previously known.
Presently, 16 of the awesome telescope’s 32 dishes have been formally commissioned. The rest will be integrated next year into a multi-nation Square Kilometre Array (SKA) that will have an astounding 3,000 dishes spread over an area of a square kilometre (0.4 square miles) in several countries. The headquarters of the project are in the UK.

Chief scientist of the SKA in South Africa, Fernando Camilo, said images produced by MeerKAT “are far better that we could have expected.”
This “means that this telescope as is today, only one-quarter of the way down (to its full contingent) is already the best radio telescope in the southern hemisphere,” he added.
At its peak, it will be 10,000 times more powerful than any comparable instrument and will give unheard of access to information on exploding stars, black holes, dark energy, and the origins of the universe.
There will be two main clusters of the SKA, the other being in Australia.

A first for Africa and the world
South African Minister of Science and Technology, Naledi Pandor said: “this the first time that an African group of countries will host global science infrastructure of this character.
“It’s a first for us as Africa and also it’s a first for the world because the world hasn’t done this in Africa. We are building a global infrastructure for the world.”
Scientists from 45 different countries have made plans to use the MeerKAT between 2017 and 2022.

-REVISED CONFIGURATION-
MASSIVE FALSE FLAG CYBER ATTACK TO COVER UP COLLAPSE OF FIAT DOLLAR.
ENDGAME DECODED:
7/21/16: ORDO AB CHAO
•2+0+16=18=”666″& 9 =”CHAOS”
•(21)=”777″ number of destruction & deception.
•777+666=1443=12=3
MDCCLXXVI DECODED:
MDC=1600, CLX=160, XVI=16;
•The 16′s above added & multiplied together =”777″ & “666″.
•777+666=1443=12=3
•1+7+7+6=21=3 &”777″
“1776 is the Beginning year in which man is placed above God through exceeding sinfulness of sin.” -Illuminati
“777″ is important b/c the Antichrist will use this number to deceive nonbelievers into thinking he is the messiah.
Seven is also used w/ respect to judgment from the book of Revelation. The sequence of the 7 seals, the 7 trumps and the 7 bowl judgments.
“3″ representing the Holy Trinity. Number 3 associated w/ the triangle by its geometrical form & perceived as the Eye of God in the center of pyramid on the fiat dollar.
These luciferian psychopaths make a mockery of everything. The world is their STAGE. They’re “Free” & we’re their “Mason’s”.
Revelation 13:18; “Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
Gematria value for Speaker of The House ‘Paul Ryan’ adds up to “36″. “666″ is the sum of the first 36 natural numbers.
“666″ is a number key Jesus himself gave us to help reveal this future deceiver of the world. Its recorded in Revelation 13:16-18.
God is not human, so he does not lie. Also, no number is assigned to the Lord Almighty.
Long Live The Freedom Fighter.
‘The Great Tribulation’ is unfolding right on schedule. This 3 1/2 years will begin in summer as Christ noted;
“”When the fig tree puts forth its leaves, we know summer, and therefore the end of this age, is near.
And we know that Trumpets, heralding the coming of Christ, occurs at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.”"
Initially, I was wrong & misinterpreted scripture. Fig trees bud during the summer in June & July, not the spring.
Matthew 24:32;
“Learn a parable of the fig tree. When its branches bud & leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.”
The “FIG TREE SIGN” is the best indicator that (Yahweh) Christ’s return is not far away.
“Michael told Daniel that it would last….1230 days. John heard the angel say also “3 1/2 years” (“a time”: 1 year, “times”: 2 years, and “half a time”: 6 months).”
The exact day our ‘Lord & Savior’ returns is unknown.
Matthew 24:42;
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.”
The Force Has Awaken. America Is Mystery Babylon The Great.
Matthew 24:37;
“As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.”
