Before I took my 3-month sabbatical, I always reported prophetically-related news stories weekly. ... Even though I no longer do this, I still follow world news very closely every day .. I just can't help myself! .... To me, it shows us just how fast this old world is accelerating toward its ultimate conclusion ... the end of the Church Age. ... So, without further ado, here's just some of the news stories leaping off the world presses in just the past few days ...

"There will be wars and rumors of wars ..." (Matthew 24:6)

"All these are the beginning of birth pains." (Matthew 24:8)

This last verse  I just shared tells us exactly how it will all progress as we draw ever closer to the close of the age and the triumphant return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. .... For those of us who have had children, especially you ladies, can relate to just how these birth pains increase right up until the time of the birth of the child. ... That is exactly what we are seeing as prophecy-related world events continue to unfold at a more rapid pace by the hour and day! ...

Simply, time is short and I pray that all of you are putting your 'spiritual houses' in order .... All this chaos, war, persecution & moral decay are only going to increase as we draw ever closer to the Day of the Lord! ... Know this ... I will be praying for each & every one of you, and our Great God knows exactly who you are. ... Hallelujah!

Until next time,
