Comment from article:  "Scientists say it's not a matter of if, but when the next pandemic comes upon us.
When the next big one arrives, spreading across oceans and continents like the sweep of nightfall, causing illness and fear, killing thousands or maybe millions of people, it will be signaled first by quiet, puzzling reports from faraway places - reports to which disease scientists and public health officials, but few of the rest of us, pay close attention."

... Is this a veiled warning concerning the H7N9 Flu virus? .... Whatever the case, it certainly sounds like a classic case of 'pestilence' to me ......

*Reuters - "Virus spreads person-to-person:  France confirms 2nd case of new SARS-like Coronavirus infection"

... another one ...

*World Net Daily - "IRS tells Pro-life ministry to 'promote' abortion"

... The story goes on to say that this news agency learned that the IRS put in its bulls eye this group who really only wanted to do nothing more than share its pro-life message with churches. ... This pro-life ministry ... Cherish Life Ministries ... was created to be a non-profit under the IRS 501(c)3 provision so that churches would feel 'comfortable' working together. .......

... How any Church organization would take the chance, or have any agreement with the government, especially in  this current political climate, is beyond me! .... I would encourage any & all Church leaders to begin the 'cleansing' process ASAP!

*World Net Daily - "Imminent:  Terrorist super-axis to strike within U.S."

*World Net Daily - "Abortion advocates blame Gosnell atrocities on pro-lifers"

... The organization is called 'Jesus at the Check Point' and they will be speaking at a mega-church near you. ... Their motto? ... 'Non-violent resistance against the Israeli Zionist Occupation.' ... They go on to say
"Zionism is an obstacle to peace" ... and continue with stating they want to 'educate' Christians to understand the Bible from a Palestinian perspective, which openly supports a divided state. ..... This is not Biblical and therefore false teachings .... another case of deception which was prophesied to increase in these last days (see Matthew 24:4) ... 

*Politico - "Franklin Graham:  'IRS targeted us, too' "

Comment from article:  "With the IRS admitting it gave extra scrutiny to conservative political organizations,
Graham says he now believes that the 2010 tax year review was part of an Obama Administration effort of 'targeting' and attempting to intimidate us."

.... But wait!.... This is a Church organization! ... Certainly the government won't bother them or intimidate them!  ...... Yeah, right! ... and didn't I just mention this a few articles back? .... Wise up, Church! ... and get rid of any and all things that has any worldly influence over you!

*World Net Daily - "Judge goes off deep end to shut up Christians"

..... This is a riot! ..... Why doesn't he first look into his own 'backyard' .... the Vatican could feed the world until the end of time with all heir money ..... sounds honorable, but is an amazing case of hypocrisy  ...

Another week ... another amazing display of prophecy-related news stories. ... It's obvious what stands out this week, and that is the IRS's intrusion concerning special interest groups. ... Certainly it's worrisome enough when it involves certain political-leaning organizations ... but when it starts overflowing into the Church, it becomes increasingly alarming.  .... It's no accident that the Bible warns us NOT to be entwined, or 'partners' with earthly governments .... but to sign agreements with them (oaths) is an entirely different matter. ... I am specifically talking about the government's 501(c)3 program which allows Churches  to not pay taxes which, along with signing oaths, is not Scriptural. ... As I said in my previous comments, I would strongly recommend that any Church organization involved with these types of programs should immediately begin the process of getting out! .... Why? ... because next they will be dictating what we can or cannot preach from the Pulpit. ...... Just remember this ... it wasn't too long ago that everyone pretty much thought this type of thing could not, and therefore would not, ever happen in America. .... Well, think again! ... It's here & it's happening right before our eyes!

We had lots of readers last week and we want you to know how much we appreciate it! .... Know that we love you all and are praying for each of you ... and God knows who you are! .... Hallelujah !!!

Until next time,
