(Luke 21:11 & 25) .....

*USA Today - "World Economic Forum founder says, 'Push reset button on world's economy' "


... I read the whole article (pray for me) and after many 'big words' and much self-adulation, what the message basically points to is this --- The world's current system is beyond fixing, so just start over. ... I need to send these folks the Bible, which clearly points to a soon-coming 'reset button' ... one that will truly .. and permanently .. 'fix' it all ... Hallelujah!



*Los Angeles Times - "Scorch:  Fires hit Southern California"

*BBC - *Has the Sun gone to sleep?  Strange solar behavior baffles astrophysicists"


Comment from article:  "Scientists are saying that the sun is in a phase of 'solar lull' -- meaning that it has fallen asleep -- and it is baffling them. ... History suggests that periods of unusual 'solar lull' coincide with bitterly cold winters, and may have serious implications as to its contribution to our current climate issues .. and even global warming."



... Scientists seem 'baffled' about a lot of things lately. ... but  I'm not! ... These are the 'birth pains' spoken of by Jesus himself ...


*Haaretz - "Defense Minister rises as U.S. - Israeli relations plunge"


..... This comes after the Minister's comments about his disdain for U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry ... and Prime Minister Netanyahu isn't trying to 'fix' it ... seems they've about 'had it' with this American entourage of baffoons ......


*Y-Net/Jewish News - "Report:  Jews suffer hostility in 71 countries"


..... Sound Biblical? ... and isn't it interesting how the 'Holy Land' news is skyrocketing all of a sudden? ...



*NBC News - "Dried Up:  California Declares Emergency"


.... A state that has 'led the way' in sinful lifestyles now suffering severe drought -- the driest year in their 3rd year of drought -- and what about the radiation levels discovered at a beach near San Francisco? ...

Call me a 'doomsayer' if you wish, but God's judgement is a fact of life (just read the Bible)  and I believe what is going on in California -- and the rest of our nation -- is exactly that ... God's judgement on a land that has ... for all intents and purposes-- turned its back on God. .... It WILL continue to get worse! .....  Stand by! .....

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

Well, that's it for another week of prophecy-related news ... and this last article concerning California's problems pretty much sums up the 'pestilence' issues facing the world right now ... I truly believe God's judgement is upon us and it will only increase as we continue to 'shut Him out' of our collective national daily lives ....



But the one thing that is actually blowing my mind is the absolute free-fall we see taking place in America's national, and international stature! ... Israel wants us out ... Egypt & Saudi Arabia are looking for nuclear weapons  elsewhere as we have totally turned the Middle East over to the religious nut-cases in Iran ... the Palestinian negotiations centered around 'dividing' Jerusalem ... both domestic & international spying on an unprecedented level ... leadership credibility & trust at an all-time low ... Another $1+ Trillion budget passed while again, no one appears to have even read it ... I could go on but it makes me ill just talking about it! .... It is absolutely amazing as to how fast everything is evolving! .... Last week when I said that these 12-18 months were going to pivotal ... well maybe I should have said the next 12-18 hours & weeks! ... Anyway, we are living in prophetically amazing times!



But ... Praise the Lord ... We know it won't last long & that Jesus will return & 'fix it all' ... Hallelujah! ... But until that time, we need to pray for each other ... lift up one another .. reach out to those who are suffering and are hungry ... to those who are lost in the rush of this crazy world. ... Know that I am praying for each of you, and am so grateful for your sharing all this with me. ... Please pray that I ALWAYS listen to God before I write a word ..... God bless you ..... and ...



Until next time,
