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

As usual, never a dull moment concerning today's news headlines ... I know I say it almost every week, but it is truly amazing as to just how much crazy stuff is going on all around us! ..



Highlighting just a bit, I'll start with this Ebola thing ... it's finally here in America! ....  One headline went as far as to say it is "a National Security Priority" (Politico) ... We've been watching it from almost the very beginning, and now we are seeing it turning into a possible Pandemic. ... And as for Liberia, the folks fighting it over there have all but given up. .. It is completely out of control! .. One commentary described the country as "Staring Into the Abyss" ... How tragic for these people! ...



Then there's the continuing stories sliding in just under the radar about the world's rapidly deteriorating economic climate. .... I mean it's just not a few isolated places .. it's pretty much global. .. Like I said a few weeks ago, I just wonder if it will survive these next 12 months without some catastrophic occurrence taking place .... We'll know soon enough ...



And, of course, when the world needs her the most, America seems to be slipping further and further back into the pack. ... It is simply unbelievable to watch this nation's leadership display such blatant incompetence on any given day .. and it's not in just one thing .. it's pretty much all across the board! ... A sad commentary for a once proud nation ...



 And finally, we see the pressure building at an alarming rate on Israel. ... This week was the annual meeting of nations at the UN, and of course Israel is always one of the main stories coming out of it. .. First of all, the Palestinians are putting pressure on everyone to force an approval of a Palestinian State which would require Israel to withdraw to the pre-1967 borders. .. Needless to say, Israel cannot and will never concede to these demands because she would not be able to defend herself against all those sworn to annihilate her.

... Then there's the Iran thing ... Israel's greatest fear is that the world will give in to her nuclear demands. .. PM Netanyahu, in his speech at the UN, said that this is the greatest threat to world peace! ... Sadly, half the people left the room when he spoke in a show of protest against the Jewish State. .... Let's call it what it is. The Bible tells us in Zechariah 12:3 that Israel will face isolation from ALL nations in the last days. ... With America's apparent 'withdrawal' as her greatest ally, this prophecy appears to be coming true. .... Just more proof that we are on the doorstep of the final moments of this age .....



Love you all, and keep the prayers coming! ... Know that they will be coming your way as well. .. and don't forget to share Jesus with as many as you can. while there is still time. .. The Trumpet will blow at any moment and we want as many as possible to be with us in Glory! ... Hallelujah!



Until next time,
