Cahn predicted in 'The Harbinger' that America would come under judgement in the wake of the 9/11 attacks because, rather than being humbled and repentant, the nation doubled down on abortions, pornography and the removal of prayer and all things Christian from the public square."

.... Without a doubt, the Shemitah year, which kicked off on September 25th, has begun with a blast of bad news .... guess we will see soon enough ....

The Bible says that the Earth was created in 6 days ... but then, we also see where 'a day is like a thousand years' in God's timeline (see Psalm 90 & 2 Peter 3) ....

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

As usual of late, it just doesn't let up! .... This Ebola thing is pretty scary for many folks. .. anxiety seems to be the 'order of the day' in most circles these days. .. And besides the potential pandemic outlook, now they are saying that our daily routines could be disrupted, even to the point of major food shortages! .... "There will be Pestilences ..."

And what about the onslaught of satanic attacks coming against we 'literal' Christians? .. Just this week we saw statistics showing that over half of our elected politicians want laws to curb 'hate speech' .. and we know what they mean when they say this .. anything that goes against today's liberal agenda, such as homosexuality, etc ...... and then there's the deal where now California's churches must pay for abortions through their 'adjustment' of their health care laws .... and the other BIiG one? ... Houston's 'gay' mayor calling for copies of certain church pastors' sermons and other information. ... We know she and her cohorts were targeting conservative pastorates so as to shut down their so-called 'hate speech' rhetoric ... but we see that today, they backed down because of public outcry. ... I just wonder how much longer that will actually work?

OK .. I need to wrap this up.. but not before I mention the economic chaos that's going on worldwide. ... In just the past 18 days, we've seen 100+ point swings on Wall Street! .. not to mention the same thing going on throughout the entire global markets. ... And what's really interesting? .. It all started just at the time the 'Shemitah Year' began (September 25th). ... If Rabbi Cahn's teachings are correct, this 'Shemitah' year, which concludes on September 13, 2015, could be a wild one, and even ultimately leading up to the final collapse of the world's economic system. ... If it should continue as it has started, there is no doubt in my mind that he is on to something .... we'll see ......

Love you all, and am praying for each of you always .. and remember, our prayer for one another is what will give us the strength to get through these final hectic days of the Church Age ..... If you stay strong in His Word, you will survive! ...Hallelujah! ...

Until next time,
