It seems interesting that the name "Dolly" given to the hurricane that is about to collide into South Texas and North Mexico early Wednesday morning (in just a few hours) is a nickname for both names "Dorothea" (Dorothy), meaning "gift" + "God", and "Dolores", meaning "sorrow". Mutually combined, the full meaning implied is literally the phrase or epithet, "God's Gift of Sorrow".

Full Version: Hurricane "dolly" Means "god's Gift Of Sorrow"
Ecc 7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
Perhaps, too, it has to do with the "BEGINNING OF SORROWS".
Mark 13: 7 & 8 - "But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows."
This appears to be the current national and global conditions as great strife, calamities, threat of wars, food shortages, increased earthquake activities, and economic crisis mount; indicating as a clue that "THE END IS NOT YET."

There is some concern now because they underestimated this storm; it may breach the levies along the Rio Grande.
Nasty squalls of tropical downpours and tropical storm-force winds from Hurricane Dolly are now rotating onshore along the far South Texas coastline. This is just the beginning and conditions will only continue to deteriorate this morning as Dolly's center of circulation approaches.
Hurricane-force winds and lashing rainfall is and will be experienced by the Brownsville area, including S. Padre Island and Port Isabel, and in neighboring parts of Mexico through the morning hours and into the early afternoon.
Waves will grow in height (generally 10 to 20 feet) through the morning hours as Dolly makes landfall; crashing and punishing the shoreline.
The expected storm surge, from Corpus Christi south to South Padre Island, is forecast to range from 3 to 5 feet.
The intense winds of Dolly will be damaging and in some cases destructive. Power outages and structural damage are a definite especially for poorly-constructed houses and buildings.. However, because of the very slow forward movement of Dolly, it is quite possible that the most life-threatening impact from Dolly will be the flooding rainfall.
Forecast amounts are expected to be in the 6 to 12 inch range in locations south of Corpus Christi through Brownsville and into northern Mexico. A few spots, especially in the northern Mexican mountains, could get as much as 15. Flooding is almost a guarantee for several locations impacted by Dolly.
Hurricane warnings are in effect from Rio San Fernando in Mexico northward to Corpus Christi, Texas. Tropical storm warnings surround the hurricane warning area, with tropical storm warnings in effect in Mexico between Le Pesca and Rio San Fernando (where a hurricane watch is also in effect), and between Corpus Christi and San Luis Pass in Texas.

It is going to be very rough for those that experience the eyewall.

Corpus Christi means body of Christ. Peter said God would start by His own house...
I live in Texas and we have such a fight with the border. Now I find it ironic that the lower borders got hit as well...It seems like the eye went directly over the Texas Mexico border.
The drug war taking place on these borders are getting out of hand down there....
We have an a war going on with people dying daily but our government is sitting on their hands!!!!
So, this direct border hit does not surprise me a bit!!

This is a worrycane....
What I don't understand why every time there is a natural weather related episode....so many think its Gods judgement.
That is crazy to automatically assume that.
I think the time for Gods judgement is still on the way. And when that hits....there will be no doubt.

I would have to agree. Hurricanes have been hitting the U.S. for hundreds of years, and, probably long before we even took records. This storm turned out to be pretty small.
Now if 20 or 30 hit all at the same time.... 
Lol, yeah, I'd say wrath lol.
Yep!
This hurricane is not even in the same ball park as the things we read about in Revelations.
When the Lord shows His wrath....I believe the whole world will know...and NOT JUST the United States.
There will be no doubt then.
Its very very silly to automatically launch into judgement mode everytime something bad happens in the United States.
Texas has had much much worse weather....lol. (and bigger hurricanes)

Yes.... there have been certainly been bigger and more destructive hurricanes than this one. I do have to agree that not ever disaster is a sign of judgement from the Lord. Yet maybe why some feel the need to closely scrutinize things so much is because we are commanded "to watch"
So in order to make sure that it is not something from the Lord... we have to watch.... seek Him in prayer.... and know the Word.
I honestly still have to wonder about the name of this storm..... Dolly "God's gift of sorrow"
Is there something more behind that than we know? Of course I immediately think of what 7 had to say.... and all the sorrow and travail scriptures in the word. I know from experience having 4 children that the travail and sorrow did not start out with Great Intense and Excruciating Pain. Actually quite the opposite It was just a little twinge in the back or slight cramp in the stomach.
My 1st child.... I was quite shocked. I thought well goodness....I don't think this could be labor? Surely it would have to begin worse than this? I was very young and really only knew of labor from what I saw on tv..... and all I knew that everyone I had ever seen on TV was SCREAMING LIKE CRAZY. After awhile I was like whew well I know I am really not hurting that bad but the slight pain seems to be hanging around. My husband was like Valerie just go for a walk..... so I did. After I got back I was like Noel I think we better go.... this may be the real thing?
After getting to the hospital still in "very little pain/ nothing that had caused hardly any discomfort" they checked me in and I got in bed. Before the nurse could even get to the room to check me, I told my husband to check.... I thought my water had broke. To our suprise it was not water at all.... but I had started hemoragging.... within in seconds the doctor and probably 10 nurses were prepping me for surgery. The doctor looked at my husband and my mother right in front of me and said....."if you know how to pray.... you better start praying now!"
Praise the Lord..... within just minutes my oldest daughter was born.
I say all of that to say..... do we honestly know when the begining of sorrows starts? I am not sure? Yet the Lord always compared the end to just this ....a woman in labor.
For most... typical labor just does not start out intense... but rather quite the opposite.
For a normal labor and delievery the pain and frequencies increase. How will the end be I am not sure? Some labor starts out with a twinge and they do not have a baby for a day. For others it starts as a twinge and they have a baby in a half a day. While others still.....have labor only for an hour?
So who is to say how it will be in the end? One thing is for sure ......in every labor case that I know of..... it never starts with a BANG!
Love in Christ,

So in order to make sure that it is not something from the Lord... we have to watch.... seek Him in prayer.... and know the Word.
I honestly still have to wonder about the name of this storm..... Dolly "God's gift of sorrow"
Is there something more behind that than we know? Of course I immediately think of what 7 had to say.... and all the sorrow and travail scriptures in the word. I know from experience having 4 children that the travail and sorrow did not start out with Great Intense and Excruciating Pain. Actually quite the opposite It was just a little twinge in the back or slight cramp in the stomach.
My 1st child.... I was quite shocked. I thought well goodness....I don't think this could be labor? Surely it would have to begin worse than this? I was very young and really only knew of labor from what I saw on tv..... and all I knew that everyone I had ever seen on TV was SCREAMING LIKE CRAZY. After awhile I was like whew well I know I am really not hurting that bad but the slight pain seems to be hanging around. My husband was like Valerie just go for a walk..... so I did. After I got back I was like Noel I think we better go.... this may be the real thing?

YEP!I don't think this hurricane was judgment...But I do believe it was a warning because of all the things happening on the border right now...
I think the fact that this hurricane missed all the oil platforms it could have slammed is God's way of saying only by His mercy was this not a disaster...pay attention! repent!
If it hit all the oil platforms in its way - imagine the economic impact!

Oh you are so right FS....
All I'm saying is that when God does choose to give the world a dose of reality....
I think its not going to be just one thing....but a multitude of things going on around the WHOLE world.
I think every nation is going to know that God is God.
However...there is a saying that the bigger you are...the harder you fall.
So.... heaven have mercy on our country.
There is something strange going on. (carrying my soapbox with me on my bunny trail)
Its like most of the politicians are intentionally trying to destroy us and people just keep putting them in office.
The people of this nation have been brainwashed, through the media, from politicians who have wanted more power for government instead of more power for the people.
You put a Democrat in power....you will always have more Government control.
Frustrating!
I want the Lord to come soon and stop all this crazyness. But I think about what that really means then. Many will perish in hell including some that I love if they do not repent and find the Lord in time.
