*New York Times - "Europe economy stalls as Germany stumbles"
Comment from article: "The Euro-zone economy stalled in the 2nd quarter, raising the ugly prospect that the region's meager recovery has lost momentum just as it faces fresh headwinds from Russia and Ukraine. .. The gloomy numbers out of the Euro-zone, whose roughly $13 Trillion economy accounts for 17% of the world's Gross Domestic Product, join a litany of similar sour reports this week from Asia, all pointing to signs of sudden weakness among many major economies."
..... We've known this was coming ... it's now here, and it will only continue to get worse .....
*World Net Daily - "Achtung! German now in top U.S. Army position"

Late August is usually the 'quiet time' in world happenings in relation to Bible prophecy, but not so this year! ...
We are seeing cracks all through the world's economic structure, which usually takes place in September/October ... and what makes it even more unique is the U.S. stock market is setting records during this time! ... This is amazing, and to me is pure proof of the 'Days of Noah' symptoms that are prevalent, especially in America today ...
And this ISIS thing! .. Even the leader of Hezbollah, which is another Muslim terrorist organization, calls them 'monsters' ... and their threats toward America are, in my opinion, very real ... especially with the porousness of our southern border. ... Even Texas Governor Rick Perry recognizes this and has warned of their agents entering the country ......
It's really going to get 'interesting' over these next few months, believe me. ... Prophetic signs in most all categories are increasing by the moment. ... and then when you consider the 'Shemittah' & 'Blood Moon' signs along with all of it, I'm wondering if we will even get through September of 2015! ... No, I'm not setting a date, but I am warning my fellow brothers and sisters of the 'season' ... It is here!
Know this .. I love each of you, and am praying for you constantly, and God knows exactly who you are. ... Please pray for me as well as we all need the strength to endure these coming chaotic days that lie just ahead ... May God bless each of you! ... Hallelujah!
Until next time,
Red
