A massive fire engulfed Paris’ famed Notre Dame Cathedral on Monday, as the city’s mayor and firefighters warned people to stay away from the area.

It was not immediately clear what had caused the fire, while local media reported that police in the city were treating it as an accident.

Thanks for the reminder. I had to keep reminding myself it’s just a coincidence. It’s just after happening right after this one https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Storm-damages-cathedral-in-St-Louis-knocks-out-13766832.php it’s so weird.

No matter religion, this fire risks destroying a great treasure trove of art and human history.

People are apparently literally crying in crowds about it according to the news... keep calling it "her".

That's because nouns in French have gender, they are either masculine or feminine. And "cathedral" is feminine.

BBC news have just said that a large number of people identify as Catholic-Atheist. So the Pope is their God?

 

I'm wondering if the London Houses of Parliament will catch fire during the huge refurbs. It’s the only thing left to happen during the Brexit ‘process’!

Shucks, I thought Jehovah had put it into the hearts of the UN  members and there we go.   Oh well, am not worried about the precious art, cause who ever painted it, if its Jehovah's will, they will be back and they can do another painting but no virgin mary's or hippy looking Jesus' statues or portraits.  No tiny baby angels, or a mixture of devils and angels, popes, cardinals, and kinds and queens.  Not Allowed!

There's going to be a lot of that by God's command! Let us realize that soon all of the prostitutes' "lovely edifices, works of art and history" will done away with very soon... Too bad, too bad....

We are not talibans or ISIS. We respect human history.

Agreed, we aren't the Taliban. We don't and won't do such a thing.

On a lighter note...

I was watching it LIVE on YouTube and someone chatted: "Did the Hunchback make it out?"   

[Naturale]

This is a dreadful disaster

 

 It isn't  at all appropriate to make jokes.

Wife and I are commenting that we knew it would  be destroyed some day, but it's still shocking.

It was reported that one firefighter was critically injured.

what you say is true, But I remind myself that it is still a symbol of Babylon the Great and offensive to Jehovah.  

My husband said he was reminded of Revelation 18.

Please explain the origin of the steeples and spires that are commonly found as part of the architecture of modern church buildings.

These structures long preceded Christianity, dating back to fertility ceremonies of ancient pagan religions. Pagan priests used an upright stone, pillar, obelisk, or slender tower to represent the male sex organ. Even today, a stylized union of male and female genitals is found in many cultures.

I read 2 Thessalonians Saturday and had my "Be Strong" Circuit Assembly yesterday...

The Notre Dame cathedral is a jewel of human history and architecture. It's very sad that it's burning.

 

Notre Dame is not just a religious building. It's a 900 hundred old building. It was built long before America was discovered, in a world completely different from ours. During all the Dark Ages it was a symbol of civilization where art masterworks were treasured and preserved.

 

It's not just a symbol of Babylon the Great that is burning. That's extremely simplistic. One of the biggest museums in the world is being lost with thousands of wonderful artworks inside it. This is a sad day.

 

EDIT: I just read all the artwork inside has been moved to a safe place.

This is a building of history and apart from that it is just so callous to mock or joke when there is a disaster in progress.  I was involved with a bad fire once and I know how traumatic it can be.

I had a moment while watching some of the footage. Our home burnt back in September and it's still being rebuilt. We've been displaced since then. 
I don't wish a fire on anyone.

The news coming in from around the world about the Fire destroying Notre Dame, was due to renovations.  It started in the attic and worked itself through the rest of the building.  It was not done by terrorists. 

[Nirex]

Yeah but it's just so weird...

That happened yesterday, along with the one hit by a storm. Now this. Storm has no correlation. But someone/some group might be starting fires.

Let's not look for connections that are not there.  A fire like this in Paris is most likely not related to a fire in New York.  While we do know what the future holds for all of false religion, we should resist the urge to look for hidden or secret connections as if there was a global conspiracy at work.  When the nations attack Babylon the Great, it will be obvious and up front, not hidden under the guise of accident. 

 

Yes, this is a tragic loss of culture and heritage to the Western World.  It would be tactless, tasteless, unloving, and inappropriate to rejoice over this disaster or make light of the fire.  The merchants and  big business are also condemned by Jehovah and marked for eternal destruction, yet it was just as tragic when the Twin Towers, a symbol of that God dishonorable aspect of Satan's world, were destroyed. 

 

At the same time, between the nations completely burn Babylon the Great with fire and when Jehovah executes divine judgment at Armageddon, being a cultural heritage of Western Civilization probably won't be enough to merit salvation. As man sees is not how Jehovah sees. 

 

Until then we weep with those who weep.

Looking for omens under the Mosaic law was a serious sin, wasn't it?  I wonder if it still is for us today. 

 

Some of the world famous gargoyles that look like devils must have been damaged in the fire. I don't think it would be appropriate though to weep over places of false worship no matter how valuable they are to the world's cultural heritage. I cannot imagine ancient Israelites being sad over a fire-damaged temple of Moloch or other Canaanite gods.  

[Frogslegs]

This is so very sad.
