Sadly, most stockbrokers and mainstream media will tell you that this money printing is what's needed to stimulate economies ... and even if it doesn't work, the consequences will be small. .... but don't believe it for a minute! ... The consequences of all of America's, and now Japan's money-pumping programs will be extreme  .... What to expect? ... At the least, double-digit inflation and/or serious currency 'deflation' ... or both! ... Look out!!

Regardless of how we may feel about those things, we should be reaching out in prayer and support for this couple as they suffer through their loss of a child ... may our Great God give them comfort through it all ....

Another 7 days full of 'signs of the times' .... I realize it is fairly long this week, but in all honesty, there was quite a bit more I left out .... It just keeps coming at us from all directions!! ... but sadly, like the Bible says, most are not paying much attention to it all ... In fact, the same 'most' are becoming numb to the constant onslaught of the times ... just like "the days of Noah" where very similar conditions existed ... and then the 'flood' came and took them all away ......
Don't let yourself or your loved ones become a part of those who are going to be left to face the coming 'flood' of horrors .... Keep your eyes on the Lord & He will deliver you from the coming wrath!
Revelation 3:10 says,  "Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you FROM the hour of trial that IS going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth." (emphasis mine)
In closing, I want to say to the many who are visiting our site from China & the Ukraine, as well as several other countries .... thank you so much for your interest & participation ... I want you to know that I will be praying very hard for your safety, and freedom to worship our Great God .... I know it's much more difficult for many of you to freely worship & participate in fellowship ... Keep the faith! ... He is coming soon for ALL OF US who profess His Name ... Hallelujah!!!!!!!
Until next time,
Red
