*My Republic - "6.0 quake strikes off coast of northern Philippines"
*Joel Reosenberg - "Three reasons I cannot support the congressional resolution for U.S. military action in Syria"

..... He stated the first two reasons as these ... 1) "Nobody is with us" ... & 2) "The unintended consequences of becoming engaged in a war with Syria with an undependable President could be catastrophic." ..... But the one I want you to really see is brother Joel's 3rd reason, and here it is .... "The U.S. does not currently have a President who is trustworthy, principled, steady, and wise ... To the contrary, Mr. Obama is weak, vacillating, dithering, and devoid of a clear, compelling and principled policy in the Middle East. ... He doesn't inspire confidence, not with our allies, not with Congress, and most importantly, not with the American people. ... It is clear that he drew his 'red line' without thinking it through. ... He doesn't have a plan. ... He hasn't built congressional or international support. ... He is winging it. ... And that is incredibly dangerous!"

..... I couldn't agree more! ... And what is really interesting here? ... Mr. Rosenberg in usually NEVER this openly scathing toward any world leader, especially since he 'runs' in those circles. ..... Like many of the rest of us, Joel has 'had it' with this leader and his colossal lack of leadership ability. ... How tragic for America, especially in these highly demanding times ....

Well, that's it for another week of prophecy-related news ... and how this Syrian thing is totally dominating all other issues ... An example is the world's economy and how it is almost totally absent in the media. .. Did it just get better over night? .... Not a chance, and in the next few weeks, regardless of the outcome of this Syrian mess, it will find its way back into the mix. .... Trust me when I say, utter chaos is coming to the world's markets in a very short time ....

For us 'watchers' ... those of us who follow Biblical prophecy concerning the times we live in ... this is a most 'exciting time! ... The prophecies of Jesus Christ Himself, described in Matthew 24, Mark 13 & Luke 21, are coming true right before our very eyes! ... And the Isaiah 17:1 prophecy of the utter & total destruction of Damascus? .... This current crisis could very well be the prelude to its fulfillment. ... And what about the Ezekiel war prophesied for the end-times described in his chapters 38 & 39? ... All the countries involved in this current crisis are mentioned in these passages. ... Is this it?!

Jesus said that NO ONE of us would know the exact date concerning the end of the age, but Jesus did tell us that we who know Him, and follow His teachings, would know the season. ... Well people, it IS the season! ... Hallelujah!

OK, enough for this week. ... Know that I love every one of you and am praying for each of you daily...   .... and our great God knows exactly who you are! ... Hallelujah!

Until next time,
