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

An incredible time we are living in! .... Each week we are seeing an incremental increase in events that can only lead to the inevitable 'prophetic conclusion' of the age .....  I think this 'New York Times' article posted on the 15th says it all ...
          "The Great Unraveling"
            *It was a time of Weakness ...
            *It was a time of Hatred ...
            *It was a time of Fever ...
            *It was a time of Disorientation ...

Look for a moment at 2 Timothy 3:1-4 and see if it doesn't fit our time perfectly! ...... "But mark this:  There will be terrible times in the last days.  2) People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,  3) without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,  4) treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God - " ...... There doesn't seem to be much left to add to this very precise summation of the days we are currently living in! ....

Looking at all these news outlets each week,  usually one thing will 'pop out' at me. ... This week was no exception. .... Are you noticing all the economic upheaval taking place just under the surface? ... The reason I say it this way is because we don't see this stuff in the mainstream headlines. .. I seem to always have to go to the 'less obvious' sites to find it. ..... Let me highlight just a bit of what I'm talking about ...

   *Both China and the European Union just this week pumped Billions of dollars into their economies to try and 'stimulate' their sagging markets ...

   *Russia's Ruble is at historic lows after sanctions by the West ...

   *The majority of South America's nations are on the brink of economic 'implosion' .... Argentina just defaulted on her debts .. Brazil is going to be next .... the list goes on ......

   *Japan's economy, the world's third-largest, is teetering on 'self-destruct' ... They also 'infused' large sums of money to try and stave off the inevitable ...

   *California, the world's 7th-largest economy and a major player in the world's food chain, is suffering huge debt problems and an epic drought that is causing the state to run out of water! ...

   *And, of course, the good old USA! ... We are nearly $18 Trillion in debt .. our jobless numbers are at all-time highs, when taking into account those that 'aren't being counted' ... This year, through August, we have seen a record $2.66 Trillion in tax revenues, but are still running an annual deficit of nearly $600 Billion! ... We just keep spending it faster than we take it in! ... But then, we are seeing stock market records almost daily! ... Why? ... The top 10% is taking it all while leaving the rest of us in total decline and eventual ruin ...

You get the picture ... These same top 10% could care less about national borders  ... only about the 'bottom line' ... This mentality is the perfect setup for the coming 'Globalization' of the world's nations .... This will happen, and is the end-time scenario needed to fulfill Bible prophecy. ... It is just 'around the corner!' ...

OK .. I could go on for hours, but this isn't supposed to be a commentary, which it almost is! ... Anyway, I'll stop here for now but promise to 'keep at it' as long as I'm allowed and we are still here. .... Just remember that these are all signs of our Lord's imminent return! ... Hallelujah!

Until next time,
