The "Thai Cave Rescue" - 13 Boys Saved by the Miracle of a False Prophet?!?
The World stood still for 10 days as Navy Seals, Godless British and Austrian (Pacific Austrian) divers have searched for 13 young Thai soccer players of the "Wild Boar" (Psalms 80:13) team that got trapped in a huge cave more than a week ago because of an unexpected flood.
Against all possible odds the boys were found. Of course, each and every True Christian™ was hoping for these unsaved children to survive in order to give then one more chance to accept Jesus, discard the Buddhist heresy, Repent® and become True Christians™. So far so good. The Script initially unfolded as it was intended. Let us take a closer look at the Biblical chain of events:
But. That. Is. Not. What. Happened.
Instead, the prayers directed at these boys were idolatrous Buddhist prayers by an idolatrous Buddhist prophet.
And. Still. The. Boys. Were. Saved.
The Buddhist Prophet channeled a True Prophecy?! It is totally improbable that he would have guessed the chain of events correct. It was as accurate as the prophecies in the Bible (such as Daniel 2:40 that depicts the Roman empire in excruciating detail). And that is not all. Many heathens, perhaps millions, prayed their multiple gods.
I dare not think about the implications. The people prayed and it seems as if their prayers were answered. How can that be? It can't!
John 9:31
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
Now, I am not going to be questioning the rationality of Jesus but I am only asking how could this extremely unlikely rescue have been possible without Jesus answering prayers? But He could not have! I am not questioning Jesus but just asking if everything is OK with Him? Is he in some kind of Limbo where everything that is logical and rational is turned upside down. Obviously, we are all happy to give these boys a second chance but by Buddhist Prayers? That is preposterous.
No! way!
The obvious explanation would be that a single True Christian™ also asked for these boys to be rescued and Jesus would of course immediately react (Matthew 21:22). But that cannot be the case. The events did not work out that way. The boys are still in peril, The floodwaters are rising and they have been given provisions.
They have been given diving masks, food, medication but there is no mention of any KJV Bibles being distributed.
If this had been a regular disaster commanded by Jesus, it would have been followed by a surge of revival, verses being thrown everywhere, repentance and Baptism. Instead, these boys are being rescued by totally secular means supported by pagan prayers.
I am not questioning the decisions of Jesus. I am just asking what is He thinking. The normal cycle of sin, smiting and repentance has been broken. I am now too intimidated to pray for a single KJV Bible appear miraculously within the cave. Of course, we rejoice in this rescue.
But.
If Jesus is now listening to the prayers of sinners, what is on Earth going on in Heaven? The Bible tells us what these lost boys were like.
Hebrews 11:36-38
And others had trial of [cruel] mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy;) they wandered in deserts, and [in] mountains, and [in] dens and caves of the earth.

It took 10 days to find the 13 members of a youth soccer team trapped in a cave in Northern Thailand. The rescue could take 10 times longer.
The soccer team, 12 boys age 11 to 16, and their 25-year old coach, Ekaphol Chantadee Wong, were exploring the Tham Luang Nang Non cave, a popular tourist attraction, in Chiang Rai, a forest park near the Myanmar border.
On June 23 the boys entered the cave, which runs six miles beneath a mountain. Its passages alternate between wide and extremely narrow. In some areas, only one person at a time can squeeze through.
The boys had visited the cave before and were there on a team outing. It began to rain while they were inside and they were trapped inside by rising floodwater.
Rescue divers found the boys were on a ledge in an air pocket about 2.5 miles into the cave, about a half-mile down. At least 1.5 miles of the path is under muddy water – about 15 feet at some point.

- Unsaved idolatrous boys enjoy their hobby of soccer in a country devoted to various kinds of harlotry and sodomy, Thailand.
- Jesus decides to send them a BIG warning. A flash flood.
- The boys experience Jesus's punishment and spend ten horrible days in total darkness in constant fear for their lives.
- Jesus either accepts their apology and gratitude and Saves® them or lets them perish. Praise Jesus.
But. That. Is. Not. What. Happened.
Instead, the prayers directed at these boys were idolatrous Buddhist prayers by an idolatrous Buddhist prophet.
And. Still. The. Boys. Were. Saved.
Phra Khuva Boonchum hails from northern Thailand, and is already known to a number of prominent leaders in Myanmar, including State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. In this country he is known as Maing Hpone Sayadaw.
The monk visited the Tham Luang cave complex in Chiang Rai late last week, by which time the 12 soccer players and their coach had been trapped for several days.
Braving monsoon rains on Friday, the 54-year-old monk performed religious rites and prayed for the wellbeing of the missing youth and their coach, as well as cave-dwelling spirits. On his departure, the monk told Thai journalists, “They are all still there; they will be found in one or two days,” according to Thai media.
The rain that had been pouring in the area for days stopped the next day; the hiatus lasted until Monday night, when the missing group was found. Many Thais believe it was the monk’s intervention that stopped the rain.

On Monday as divers edged through thick mud and water closer to a raised area where they hope to find the stricken team alive, several colourfully-dressed ethnic minority Lisu tribespeople arrived near the entrance to the cave.
They chanted and sacrificed chickens and pigs in an offering to the river and forest spirits, imploring the safe return of the 12 boys, aged 11 to 16, and their 25-year-old coach. "
We're asking forgiveness for things we've done wrong, asking them (the spirits) to release the children..."
Later a hermit -- known in Thai as "reusee" -- was seen wrapped in a tiger print cloth standing motionless and silent on a nearby road, as practitioners of the nation's complex and diverse belief systems converge on the cave.
Offerings have been made at homes, schools and temples across the country, while the Supreme Patriarch -- the head of Buddhist clergy -- has urged Thailand to unite in prayer for the safe return of the team.

Besides the protein drink, Narongsak said they were given painkillers and antibiotics, which doctors had advised as a precaution.
