First of all, I said last week that I was going to talk about the Rapture of the Church this week ..  but alas, something more urgent is being pressed upon me .. and this has just taken place over the past few hours. .. Simply, I sense an urgency to tell you of things soon to befall this nation & world. .. I know that there are many naysayers out there shouting out all sorts of 'the end' scenarios .. and yes .. most of us sound like the 'boy who cried wolf' one to many times .. but, at the risk of this label, I shall proceed without caution & with the conviction that it comes not from me ..... If you remember back in January when the new year began, we immediately saw world economic conditions in a free-fall. .. Many end-timers panicked & predicted the end at any moment. .. I did not share this urgency at that time. .. I felt that things would level out through much of the Spring & early Summer months. ..... As of today, this has proven to be true .. but .. not for much longer. .. As with each passing day, I start out reviewing the world's news headlines, and mostly not from the American press because it is so limited & 'controlled,' but from Israeli & European news outlets. .. Let me get straight to the point & tell you that negative major economic & social undercurrents are taking place most everywhere! .. Here's just a couple of examples ... *Economically, the world's big players like George Soros are buying gold by the tons thinking it will be the only thing left with any real value. .. And here's just a few of the headlines from this AM ... "Summer Market Panic Brewing" .. World Governments Bond Yields at All-Time Lows" .. Gold Rush" .. "Former Fed President: 'All my very rich friends holding lots of cash' "  ...& this is just today!  ... Also this week, the world's 'elite'  (Bilderberg Group).. the chosen few .. are meeting in Europe to discuss highly secretive issues regarding the world's deteriorating economic & social condition. .. Simply, without shouting it from the rooftops, those in control know that something of major consequence is about to take place globally. .. *Socially, one would have to be blind not to realize that things are falling apart at an unprecedented rate. .. Just look at Venezuela right now .. 900% inflation, food & medical supply shortages .. a people desperate for most anything or anyone to 'save them' from its imminent societal collapse. .. And it doesn't end there. .. Many other countries are experiencing these same conditions .. southern European & many African nations as examples. ... This one headline from this morning sums it all up quite well .. "Terrorism, Violence Worldwide at All-Time High" .. This is always the result when people become desperate. ... *Pestilence also is not taking the 'back seat' .. Just three headlines from today ... "Entire Planet Experiencing 'Apocalyptic' Weather Patterns - Life-Threatening Heatwaves, Extremely dangerous Wildfires, Vicious Tornadoes, Unprecedented Flooding" ... "Record Flooding Around the World - USA, Mexico, Russia, China, France, Germany, Belgium, Ukraine, Romania ... " ... "Global Crops Are Turning Toxic Due to Extreme Weather Conditions" ... and I just can't pass this one up .. "Another Fireball in the Sky - This Time Over St. Louis Area, Midwest"  ... Are all these rapidly increasing sightings coming from 'Planet X?' .. Who knows, but we are told in Luke 21:25 that "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars." ... *Morally, where do I start!? ... This one example sums it all quite clearly. .. Did any of you see the 'celebration' that took place in Switzerland this week at the dedication of the world's longest underground tunnel? .. Believe me when I say, it was 'straight out of hell!"  .. I mean it featured a character that looked like 'Baphomet,' the man-beast that represents Satan & evil, lesbian sex out in the open, people dressed as various animals & creatures I'm unable to define ... Simply, when I saw the pictures, it said to me that we have no further to fall as a world! .. and this was just a tunnel dedication! .. Lastly, let us take a quick glimpse of our nation. .. In all the aforementioned categories, we are accelerating at a breathtaking pace! .. Economically, we are in desperate shape .. $19 plus Trillion in debt and rising by the second .. social unrest is raising its ugly head in many places across the nation, not to mention all the 'preparedness drills' the government is currently undertaking in preparation for what? .. A President & national leadership, including the Supreme Court, that supports Biblical sinful lifestyles that have historically proven to be a main factor in their national destruction .. Christian leaders 'selling out' all over the place as they try to 'become relevant & tolerant' to today's societal needs  (hence, their own popularity & wealth) .. the 'Gay' agenda now dominates the social & political landscape and for those of us who disagree, we have become 'the enemy of a fair & just society' .. (Note: The National Faith Council is made up of entirely 'gay' people!) ... There's a ton more, but we can get the picture from just this ... Bottom line? .. The honeymoon is over! .. I feel an urgency to warn each of you to be prepared for the worst concerning our nation and the world as a whole. .. I believe that before this year is over, we are going to see major economic & social consequences throughout this land. .. Society as we know it will no longer exist. .. Venezuela will look like 'play school' compared to what is coming. .. So how do we prepare? .. Certainly spiritually is at the top of the list. .. We need to get our 'spiritual houses' in order, and then share what we know with those we love and care about most. .. As for physically, certainly hoarding isn't biblical but to have a few weeks or months of supplies such as water & food is not a bad thing. .. Simply, it will buy us some time to share with those in this desperate world the truth before it is too late for them. .. Nothing is more important than that. ... One of the great Saints of our time, the 97-year-old Billy Graham, said just a few days ago that we are definitely in 'The Days of Noah' prophesied in the Bible. .. "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.  For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be."  (Matthew 24:37-39) ... This prophecy really hits the nail on the head! .. People are truly oblivious to what is about to befall them! .. A fierce flood is upon us and so few even realize it! .. To me this is the real tragedy of our time .. the absolute blindness to the truth of God's teachings. ..  But then, yes, it was & is prophesied. .. In closing, please know that I am NOT setting any dates or absolute timelines concerning when it all goes down. .. But the 'nudgings' are getting stronger by the moment & I feel compelled to share them with you .. and remember, those of us who are trying our best to 'be right' with God truly have no fear of what is about to come upon us. .. In fact, it is an extremely exciting time to be alive! .. Why? .. Because I truly believe we are that generation spoken of by Christ that will see His glorious return! .. Hallelujah! .. He is coming, and very soon. .. He will soon show the world that He is the 'one & only' true savior! ...Hallelujah! ...... Until next time, Red
