*National Journal - "Terror makes its way back to America: This time it's different"
Comment from article: "The American Nightmare: Terrorism from sleeper cells launching attacks on large cities, mass police raids for suspects, and entire cities in virtual lockdown and living in fear ... Is this the future of America?"
... Most likely it will be a part of our near future, along with all the other 'pestilences' taking place all around us ..... and why? ...... We who know the Bible are aware of the answers to these questions .... Simply, it is the 'Wrath of God' descending upon a morally & spiritually fallen nation ......

*The American Dream - "Is Pope Francis laying the groundwork for a one-world religion?"
Comment from article: "Does Pope Francis intend to help the global elite achieve their goal of uniting all of the religions of the world under a single banner? ... Will he be instrumental in establishing a single global religion for the 'Glorious New Age' that the global elite believe is coming? .... After he was elected, the cover of Time Magazine declared Pope Francis to be the 'New World Pope.' ... Since his election, Pope Francis has made it abundantly clear that he is going to make ecumenical outreach a top priority. ... For example, in one recent address, he made it a point to say that he believes the Muslims worship and pray to the 'one god' that he also worships."
Wow!! .. I didn't know much about this guy when he first emerged as the leader of the one billion+ Catholic community, but now his 'true colors' are starting to show ...... and I'm not the least bit surprised! ... I've always believed the Vatican to be the religious 'partner' of the soon-coming Anti-christ ... I'll write more about this later in a separate article ........

Comment from article: "Statistics reveal record fear, stress, suicide .... terrorism .... chaos .... rising pestilence. .... fear of the future ....

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars ... there will be great famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places. ... All these are the beginning of sorrows." (matthew 24:4-8)

Comment from article: "A former Muslim Brotherhood terrorist claims a bizarre video released out of Egypt demonstrates the 'demonic' spirit that has gripped the nation since its 2011 Islamic Revolution. ... The video shows a wedding celebration in which a group of men in a frenzy tear apart a live chicken by hand, then scrabble over its pieces to eat its raw flesh. .... The video is a glimpse into the dark and incomprehensible spirit that has possessed the souls of Egypt,' claims Walid Shoebat, a former PLO operative who has since renounced his terrorist ways."

Some really interesting stuff this week .... from demonic demonstrations to terrorism to the advancement of the coming world church to the "Kings of the North & East building up their militaries while America continues to cut back .... Americans 'snapping' due to stress, chaos, and all the pestilence that is taking place all around them. ...... And let's not forget about the earthquakes this week .... 4 major ones with 2 over 7 magnitude ...
not a common occurrence ... until lately ..
Just a couple of quick comments about some of this ... The statement by Pope Francis saying that Muslims worship the same God as he does? ... Can you even imagine how misguided this theology truly is ... and he is the leader of over 1 billion souls on this planet! ..... Jesus Himself said that "NO ONE comes to the Father BUT BY ME." (emphasis mine) .... Guess the new Pope missed that verse, as well as many more just like it!
.... and is terrorism the new way of life in America? .... More than likely it is, as well as many other forms of 'pestilences' that are bound to haunt this nation that has almost completely removed God Almighty from the public place. .... Quite honestly, I'm surprised that He hasn't poured out more upon us already! ... But then I must always remember that He is always in control and it is all in His timing. ... I just pray that more of the lost and misguided souls will turn their faces to Him before it is too late .......
Finally, for the sake of time ... spend a few moments and read my last commentary titled "Signs of the Times", dated April 23rd .... It shares some of the statistics about how Americans are 'snapping' and how suicide rates are skyrocketing due to all the stress & chaos surrounding our lives each day. ... It is all based off an article written by David Kupelian, who also authored "The Marketing of Evil" ... a brilliant narrative based upon the 'selling' of sinful lifestyles to our general public over the past 50+ years ....
Enough already! ... I just enjoy sharing with each of you! .... Have a blessed week and keep your focus upon our great Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ .... and don't let all these deceivers have their way with you ... Every answer you need can be found in the Holy Scriptures ... and if you can't find it, let us know and we'll find it together ..... Love you all!
Until next time,
