....... "There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven." ...... Luke 21:11 ................

Looking at these last three articles ... and then the coming 'controlling' technology that is rapidly coming into view ... along with worldwide depression ... record-breaking numbers of volcanoes, earthquakes, super-typhoons .... the world economic condition "imploding" by the hour ... the unification signs of the coming "Revived Roman Empire .... Israel being surrounded and constantly threatened by her enemies and her #1 ally (us) appearing to be appeasing her enemies .... how can anyone deny that we are staring the end-times in the face! .... I know that in Matthew 24:37-39, Jesus tells us that it would be this way .... but it's still hard for me to understand why people aren't more hungry for the truth!  ....  It's mind-boggling to me that people can't see what's taking place right before their very eyes ... I guess it is exactly as i said in my last commentary concerning the "spiritual fog" laying over the landscape concerning the time when Christ Himself walked the earth and most all, including the so-called spiritual leaders of that time, didn't see it! ...

...... Which just makes me more driven about 'Reaching & Teaching' as many as possible before the time is up and the Lord puts an end to this mess we've gotten ourselves into .... 

We had our first class last Tuesday evening (which was well attended, and with more saying they are coming), and the overwhelming consensus was to start with the Book of Revelation .... so that's what we will do.  .......... So, starting next Tuesday evening, October 16th, 6:30 PM at Chehalem Valley Baptist Church, we will start on this journey. .... If you have any interest in this type of study, this would be a good one for you to attend. ... All questions are welcomed and the relevance of Bible prophecy as to the times we are living in is the focus. ... Hope to see you there!

Until next time,
