Comment from article:  "The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) - a 34-member (presently) international economic organization that works to influence world financial operations - openly announced plans to advance the long-time socialist-backed dream of a planetary taxation regime. .. The plans call for legitimate governments and dictatorships worldwide to share all private financial data on citizens. .. It is openly inspired by, and modeled on, Obama's Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) aimed at coercing banks and governments around the world into reporting all accounts and assets held by 'U.S. persons' to the IRS."

                  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, that's it for another 'fun-filled' week of news relating to Bible prophecy .... and again, it doesn't 'disappoint!' ... What stands out for me is first, the total collapse of the mideast peace talks, and how John Kerry is blaming Israel for their failure! ... What a joke! .... Israel was asked to give up everything, while all the palestinians really needed to do was just recognize them! .... Our current leaders seem to live in 'la-la land' ... it has to be purely demonic deception for them to be so clueless! ....

And then the big quakes along the Pacific Rim, especially along the coasts of North & South America just keep coming! ..... Prophetic, yes, but still unnerving .....

But what really jumps out at me this week is the rapidity of the world's economic decline. ... Just this week alone we saw our 'record-setting' markets take a sizable hit. .. In fact, Nasdaq saw its biggest one-day decline in 3 years. .. Then the experts are now predicting the Eurozone financial crisis to rear its head once more, only this time it is predicted to be much worse. ... We need to especially watch out for the southern EU nations. .. Their current unemployment is somewhere around the 30% mark already!  ... And then of course, the U.S's current problems, contrary to the 'propaganda' coming out of our leaders' mouths, is spinning out of control at an unprecedented pace -- already we citizens are paying more in taxes than we do for food, clothing and housing .. combined" ... So if we are paying so much already, why is the national debt racing toward $18 Trillion?! .... There's much more here but I need to wrap this up ...

Finally, are we now hearing the words like 'Planetary' .. 'Global' .. 'Multi-lateral' .. and the like more & more? ... I'm telling you, we are closer to an actual world government than most all the world realizes! ... Most are totally oblivious!. ... It truly is like the "Days of Noah" where people went merrily on their ways until suddenly, it all came crashing down. ... Well people, there are a few of us who are 'awake' and need to warn as many as possible before the crash does come. ... Simply, just tell as many as you can .. friends, family .. about Jesus Christ and how He, and He alone, can save us from the coming wrath! .... Hallelujah! .......................

Enough rambling from me for now .... Just know that I love each of you and am praying for you constantly. ... Keep praying for one another as we go forward. .. Times will get more difficult and we need each other's strength as we move ever closer ...... So .....

Until next time,
