Whew! ... So much, and this is only six days worth of news headlines! ... (We are changing our news week to 'Friday through Thursday' going forward) ....  I know I keep saying this, but I have NEVER seen so much news coming at us so fast! ... and what makes it even more unusual is that it usually slows down during the Summer months and then picks up in the Autumn months .. but not so this year! .. I can't even begin to imagine what it's going to be like this Fall if this trend continues ......



How many times have we heard over the past several weeks how 'the world is descending into chaos' .. (John Bolton) .. or, the 'world is spinning out of control'  (an EU spokesman) .. or 'The end is near (famous radio host) ... and these are secular people! ...



The other thing that is so astounding to watch is how rapidly America is fading from the world scene. .. It is so dramatic that even hard-core liberals are blasting the President over is seemingly blatant disinterest in what is going on all around him. ... Many pundits from both sides of the aisle are saying he has simply 'checked out!' ..

In fact, one headline this week from the Drudge Report said this ... "Make the world go away" with a picture of Obama right next to the statement. .. Another headline just today said this .. "Obama calls for calm, and then plays golf" .... It's simply fascinating to watch through the lenses of a prophecy 'watchman' ... It is happening exactly the way I envisioned it as far as America fading back into the 'pack of nations' so as to allow parity amongst the world's nations. .. Simply put, this will make it so much easier for the coming world government and its leader to step into power. .. There will be no major super-power in the way! ... Amazing times! .....



OK ... Once again it's getting long so I'm outta here .... Are things getting worse? .. You bet they are! ... and this is all the more reason for us brothers & sisters in Christ to pull together wherever and whenever we can. ... Please continue to pray for the lost, and of course each other. ... Remember, it will continue to get much worse before it is all 'put to a stop' by the return of our glorious Savior! .... Hallelujah! ........  "When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."  (Luke 21:28) ....



Until next time,
