  Another week comes to a close .. and what a week it was! .... More evident signs of the world's failing  economy ..

killer viruses spreading across the globe ... the continuing onslaught against Christians, not only by militant Muslims, but humanists and homosexuals as well ...



But the big story has to be the breathtakingly rapid decline of America as the world's only remaining superpower! ... It is almost impossible to believe as we watch this taking place right before our very eyes. ... This current administration is the 13th to be in power in my lifetime, and I can easily say that none have even come close to the utter incompetency of this bunch! ... They stand before us and lie with ease .. they show complete ignorance in their relational exchanges with other countries, Israel being just one of the classic examples .. their socialist policies are all but killing an already damaged economy ... they've destroyed the best health care system in the world .. racism has increased under their leadership .. their 'fascist' agenda concerning suspected 'troublemakers' and the monitoring of what they perceive as 'hate speech' is as dangerous an agenda to freedom as we have ever witnessed ...... To sum up, the warning by Rabbi Jonathon Cahn is exactly 'on the mark!' .... Unless America turns it's collective face back to the true God of heaven, there is neither any hope, or time left for this once great nation. .... As difficult as it my seem for some of us, we must pray for our leaders to turn their hearts to the Lord. ... That is theirs, and this nation's only hope to escape destruction and eternal damnation. .....



I'm outa here for another week. ... Who knows, the Trumpet may blow this week! ... The signs sure point to it happening soon! ... Hallelujah!



Until next time,
