"Hope" for the World In Doomsday Vault!!!??

"The region on Svalbard surrounding the Seed Vault is remote, severe, and inhabited by polar bears," according to the Global Crop Diversity Trust, which helps to support the vault's operations.

The preciousness of the seeds there is also reflected in the inaccessible nature of the vault. "Anyone seeking access to the seeds themselves will have to pass through four locked doors: the heavy steel entrance doors, a second door approximately 115 meters down the tunnel and finally the two keyed air-locked doors," the Trust writes. "Keys are coded to allow access to different levels of the facility. Not all keys unlock all doors."

Other seedbanks in in Iraq and Afghanistan were destroyed by war, while a bank in the Philippines was flooded by the tremendous typhoon in 2006. The Svalbard bank is designed to survive earthquakes and even nuclear strikes. That it contains such a wealth of seeds is a tremendous achievement.

Interesting story. Wonder how this coincides with prophecy...

I don't know that it does. But it does seem that the leaders of this world are concerned with possibilities of appocrolyptic proportions, and intent on trying to design systems for survival.

sounds like they think we're going to nuke the whole world so they need to play noah's ark.

I am glad to know they included the German Pink tomato. They tend to be ugly but yummy! I think I will buy some seeds if they aren't all in the vault.....

So who has the key when we need to get some seeds? I bet it is some bureaucrat who will never turn even one seed loose when (if) the time comes.

The irony of all of this...... those who are behind these kind of preparations apparently do believe that 'an end' to the world as we know it is coming, yet, rather than read the book which clearly tells the truth about the origin of sin and judgement and the way of salvation, refuse to believe it and think they can save themselves by their own power.

If the world ever undergoes such a massive destruction by man's own arsenal and design..... How do these people believe they will be able to survive the elements of destruction, which they have created, and have the where with all to travel through the poison elements produced by their own destruction to a remote region and repopulate or replant a destroyed earth? If there are such massive doors and levels to such a vault and each requiring different keys..... how do they know that those in possession of the keys can be trusted or will survive to allow entrance to any survivors of such destruction? I can see no reason for such a design except as the process of an evil imagination which has more in mind than just preservation of seeds.
