.... even the most skeptical cannot deny that the crazy weather these past few years seems to be on an 'ominous' increase .... and I believe it is just one of the forms of retribution for our fallen ways
.... and you don' need to take my word for it ... it's prophetic ...... (See Leviticus 26 as just one of many examples) ......

*World Net Daily - "Another killer disease striking homosexuals ... Bacterial Meningitis"

*Reuters - "Human to Human? .. Mystery intensifies on how H7N9 is spreading:  Most had no contact with poultry"

*France 24 - "Iran hit by 2nd quake in days ... 5.2 magnitude"

Man, it just keeps getting more intense by the minute! ... Just look at the last couple of days! ... The world in economic chaos over the value of gold ... the Euro Zone's economic woes resurfacing with a vengeance ...... multiple countries pumping 'worthless money' into their economies to temporarily prop them up ... bombings at the Boston Marathon ...  a Texas town devastated by a fertilizer plant explosion ... and that doesn't even count several large earthquakes ... the apparent mutation of the very dangerous H7N9 Flu virus that may evolve into a pandemic ... and plenty more!

The signs of the end are absolutely in a 'rapid-fire' mode right now!  ...... To put some perspective on this, I want to share a comment by the late Elbert Peak, a Theologian, Pastor & Bible prophecy 'watchman.' .... He said this:  "I remember back when I first started following Bible prophecy concerning the last days, I had to scratch around like a chicken to find even one story that fit the description. ... But now? ... I'm just hanging on knowing that at any moment the trumpet will blow to call us all home!" (He said this just prior to his death in the early 1990's) .... I can't even imagine what he might say now .....

I know I keep harping on this , but we can no longer put off getting ourselves 'right' with God. ...   and then we need to take the 'rekindled' light to all those who are lost. ... We must remember that the decision everyone must make ... one way or the other ... has eternal consequences .... 

Until next time,
