Robert Zoellick, head of World Bank, says leadership is clearly lacking in this crisis.  .... This is a major moment in the world of prophecy concerning the economic disintegration of the world markets followed by a 'strong leader' rising out of the ashes to have all the answers & then taking control. ... The antichrist is soon coming ... but I still think we have a little time yet ... as to exactly when, I will NOT be pulled into the 'date-setters' club, but Jesus said we would recognize the 'season' ... well here it is!

*The Times of Israel - "Iranian Supreme Leader:  Israelis our #1 enemy"

Now what a major surprise this is! ...... (yeah, right) ... Remember that Iran is named as 'Persia' in Ezekiel 38, which tells us that they will be one of the specific countries coming against Israel in the last days.

*CBN - "Road to Damascus:  Arab believers risk death for faith"

Christian persecution is still a very real thing in many parts of the world today ... this being just one example.  ... Let us never forget just how fortunate we are here in America.   Our freedom of religious expression may not last much longer,  so take advantage of spreading the Gospel without much opposition while you still can. ...

*The Extinction Protocol - "6.6 & 6.2 magnitude quakes strike sea floor just southwest of Panama"

*Church leaders.com - "Survey shows number of 'worldly christians' increasing"

Many self-identified christians polled indicated they don't live out their faith on a daily basis ... In fact, they rarely do!  ... Approximately one-third polled said they were christians in name only.   .... The Bible mentions these conditions would be the norm in the last days.  Specifically, Revelation 3:14-22 talks about the "Lukewarm" Laodicean Church, the one representing the last-days period of church history ... and what did he say to them?  .... vs. 16) "So, because you are lukewarm - neither hot nor cold - I am about to spit you out of my mouth." ... I would say that this is a pretty harsh judgement for those who don't take their faith seriously.

*Mail Online - Want to sit out the Apocalypse in style?  Bad luck - All the $1 million luxury apartments in Kansas' "doomsday-proof" block have sold"

*Rapture Ready - "U.S. role to fade with China calling shots as creditor, many economists feel"

This fits exactly into the scenario for America I have been spewing for the last 7-8 years .... and that is ... 'America must fade back into the pack of world nations in order for the global government to come into being.  A super power of any sort would certainly hinder any such scenario.  The only thing I don't know is just how far America will slide.  ... With our rampant moral decay and now apparent withdrawal of full Israeli support, it's only a matter of time before God has had enough ... It is a sad thing to watch a nation that was once so blessed to turn it's back on the one thing that allowed it to reach its greatness ... that being God Almighty!

*Mail Online - "Leaders plotting EU Super state: fiscal union looms - with the Germans in charge"

This story looks a lot like what we've seen all week ... It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out ... this super state.   Remember that the beast of Revelation 13 (also see Daniel 9) had 10 horns.  Right now the EU is made up of some 27 nations but I knew this would need to change to fit prophecy.  I think, after several alignments & re-alignments, we will see 10 nations, or regions evolve in the eventual & final make-up of Europe ... The eventual 'revived Roman Empire.'

*Joel Rosenberg - "Cultural Implosion:  Cannibalism, 'mommy porn,' gay rights, abortion driving U.S. headlines:  What in the world is going on?"

*MSNBC - "War, famine, strife, extinction:  Scientists warn planet approaching a 'tipping point' of an apocalyptic nature"

This headlines sounds like it came right out of the Bible!  (Matthew 24, Mark 13 & Luke 21). Of course, the article doesn't mention that .... And isn't it interesting how many times we are now seeing the word "apocalyptic" showing up in all sorts of news stories ... hmmmmmmmmmmm ...

*Ynet News.com - "Putin:  Russia supports 'peaceful' nuclear drive in Iran"

Ezekiel 38-39 prophecies are coming alive before our very eyes!  Russia (Magog -The King of the North) and Iran (Persia) are two of the main players that will come against Israel in one of the final major battles yet to come ... and they have NEVER been allies, or had any kind of national relationship until just recently ... coincidence? ... I think not ...

*WND Faith - "Court:  Christians can be ordered to violate beliefs"

This is amazing .. but not surprising.  A New Mexico Court of Appeals says states can 'require' christians to violate their faith in order to do business.  A case in point was a photographer who refused to take pictures at a lesbian 'commitment' ceremony. ...
Like I've been saying, it's just a matter of time before we will be forced to go underground to even worship our God.

Well, now that I've 'uplifted' you all once again, just remember that all these signs are just the reminder of how close it is to our Lord's triumphant return! ...
