*Times- Standard - "Three earthquakes hit off northern coast of California"
*Before It's News - "Vatican invites Buddhists to help build 'Culture of Life' "

...... Last week the Pope stated that he worships the same god as the Muslims (which is blasphemy) ..... Now this week, the Vatican is wooing Buddhists? ...... You think maybe we are seeing the march toward a one-world religion spoken of in Bible prophecy concerning these last days? .... the eventual 'religious partner' of the anti-christ? .... (see Revelation 17) ...

*BBC News - "France to enter recession as Eurozone growth slows"
*World Net Daily - "U.S. stocks rally to record new highs"

.... Just like the "Days of Noah" (Matthew 24:37-39) .... where people lived in the world, ignoring the 'signs of the times' ... knowing nothing "until the flood came and took them all away."

...... Some say these last 4 articles could be the lead-up to the Ezekiel War?  (chapters 38 & 39) ... It's certainly possible it could be the beginning sparks for this prophesied event ... but ONLY if Russia (Gog) & Iran (Persia) send troops ..... Another prophecy to watch closely here is the Isaiah 17:1 prediction of the complete destruction of Damascus, which, to date, has never happened ... We'll keep a close eye on this one!

*The Blaze - "Occupy Portland dancing around a Golden Calf on May Day"

Comment from article:  "A recently posted video from the 'May Day' protests in Portland, Oregon alarmingly shows a group of young individuals dancing around a golden calf."

.... Portland, Oregon IS one of the modern-day "Sodom & Gomorrahs" of the world  (I know this because I live just a few miles away) ...... and this type of demonstration just proves it ..... How long, O God, will you put up with such blatant decadence?

*The Telegraph - "German Euro founder calls for 'catastrophic currency' to be broken up -- current course is 'leading to disaster' "

...... Hey!  .. I thought things were getting better! ... Many of the world's economic gurus are telling us so! ... and why worry? ... the Stock Market is up! ......... but seriously, this guy just sees through the 'smoke & mirrors' & truly understands the true and complete picture .... & so should anyone else with half a brain and no agenda ...

*ABC News - "Iran:  5.1 quake rattles region near nuclear reactor"

*Fox News - "The mass exodus of Christians from the Muslim world ignored by media"

.... You would think this might be of interest to the populace of a 'Christian' nation? .... Add it up with all the other 'trends' in this once-great nation, and it shouldn't surprise us .... as long as it's not us, we really don't care! ...... How tragic! .....

May 8
*Washington Post - "Unprecedented U.S. readiness crisis:  Air Force strips 17 officers of authority to launch nuclear weapons"

... The article goes on to say that "we are suffering 'rot' within our ranks .... We are, in fact, in a crisis right now." ....... More signs of a rapidly declining super-power ... America ....

*USA Watchdog - "Gerald Celente:  Middle East out of control --- world waiting for a flashpoint to World War 3"

..... While he's right about the Middle East being a mess, he doesn't really understand Biblical prophecy
.... it would appear he is basing his entire prognosis on secular thinking. .... Yes, there will be "wars and rumors of wars" ... but the BIG ONE he is referring to is none other than Armageddon ... the final battle which will take place right at the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ ..... and trust me when I say, it's not far off!

*UPI.com - "Jerusalem celebrates reunification"

....... This is the 46th year of reunification for this great Biblical city, resulting from Israel's victory in the 1967 war. ...... Some say this began the 'time-clock' of the last generation before Christ's return ..... Interesting thought ... and it could be valid ......

*Associated Press - "U.S. evokes Emergency Act in anticipation of a potential H7N9 pandemic, as Flu claims another life in China"
*The Telegraph- "Climate Change unleashing 'Pestilence Omens':  Bosnian capital hit by plague of flies"

Well that's it for another 7 days of prophecy-related news from around the world .... and "wars and rumors of wars" seems to dominate ...... This Middle East thing is fascinating from the 'watchman's'  perch ... Man, this thing could blow up within minutes! ....... and the world's complacency when it comes to the economy is simply amazing! .... To be so deceived & misled is just amazing to me! ... it's just like most all of us are walking around in a fog ... just like in the days of Noah! ... To be so completely 'blind' can only be demonic-driven ... but then, that too, was prophesied to be the state of mind in these crazy times ....

.... And finally, the continuing 'disintegration' of America's collective character is really sad to watch ... You listen to these elected officials on both sides of the aisle, and it's apparent that most all have 'sold out' and will do or say whatever it takes so as to maintain their 'position of importance' in the overall structure of things .... How tragically sad!

But hey! .... At least we ... the Remnant ... gets it ... and we must continue to shout out the truth whenever and wherever we can! ... Time is extremely short so exercise those vocal chords! .... Mary & I love you all and are praying for you constantly ... and remember ... God knows who you are! ....... Hallelujah!

Until next time,
