Largest Bell in the World at Cologne Cathedral is Silenced
Friday, January 7, 2011

We recently wrote about the cutting off of the Thorn Tree in England was a sign of the church built with hands in England is going to be cut off. Here now in Germany is a sign of the silencing of the church, and the breaking of the peace bell speaking to violent overthrow, and the destruction of the church made with hands. Any one who has read Flavious Josephus’s writings on the destruction of Jerusalem has read of the signs that preceded the Roman siege and Titus destroying the temple, Jerusalem, and the city of David.

So is the word of the Lord concerning Europe in particular the EU that the whole of Europe will shortly be overthrown by the 4^th beast of the Prophet Daniel. This forth beast is the two fold child of hell Jesus prophesied of to the Talmudic Pharisees. These same Pharisees introduced Talmudic doctrine into the church beginning in the late 1^st century until the late second century creating in the church Talmudic Christianity. In the sixth century the forth beast was born the spawn of 6^th century Talmudic Christianity and 6^th century Talmudic Judaism.

The violence, murder, hatred, and evil or these mothered and fathered this two-fold child that had great iron teeth and made war with Judaism and the church. Breaking in pieces and grinding its wicked parents into dust. To the place that it makes war with and seeks out the remnant of both to the end of removing every one of this holy remnant from the face of the earth. Of which Jesus further prophesied that if time had not been shortened not any flesh [of believers] would survive. If all or any of these nation would humble themselves in deep repentance and seek the Lord’s face. The Lord would hold this onslaught off for a generation as He did in the days of Hezekiah.

Sadly in these EU nations there is no Hezekiah to lead their nation in repentance and seeking God’s face until He speaks.

We live in a day of great fear, but we live in a day of great opportunity for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Largest free swinging bell in the world:  Shortly before the Epiphany Mass the clapper of the 24 ton bell -- The "decke Pitter" is the German Peace Bell.

The Most Famous Spires in Europe

Cologne (kath.net/KAP) Shock in the Cologne Cathedral: The bell known as "Decker Pitter" by the locals is silenced. On Thursday morning the clapper with a 3.24 Meter diameter and with a weight of 24 tons, the largest free swinging bell in the world, fell.  The cause is still unknown. (The finger of God) Possibly there was some material weakening in the structure connecting the clapper to the bell itself.  No one was injured as the Cathedral Provost said to the Cologne "Express".

For that reason, at least till the repair of the Cologne Bell, the 21 ton St. Stephen's Cathedral bell is the largest free swinging, sounding bell in a church tower.  Its 800 kilogram weight clapper will be replaced by a lighter 200 kilogram clapper.

The deep C of the sound in the Cologne Cathedral should have pealed shortly before the 10 O'Clock hour of the Feast of the "Coming of the Magi" [Epiphany] on Three Kings Day. The approximately one ton clapper fell around 9:30, it is said.  It fell on the floor of the bell room and broke in two. (Do understand what this sign means) The Cathedral authority will inform the public, through a report on Cathedral Radio, about the extent of the damages.

Since 1924 "The German Peace Bell"

The Bell was poured in Thuringian Apolda in 1923. It was consecrated on 30 November 1924 as the "German Peace Bell".  The predecessor which was made from melted French rifles in 1873 was removed and melted down to make weapons in 1918.  The "decke Pitter" is struck on high Catholic feasts, and has been rung for the city only after the end of the Second World War and the Reunification of Germany.

The "decke Pitter" has held its record title as the largest free swinging bell till today -- to the annoyance of the citizens of the US City Newport.  There a would be patron financed the pouring of a 30 ton bell in France, which would have left the Peter's Bell in the dust.  In any case there isn't a church tower which is stable enough.

The largest bell in the world overall was probably the "Zar Kolkol" in Moscow poured in 1734.  It weighed 200 tons and is six meters high. It was never struck, because it was severely damaged by a fire at the bell smith.
