Once again, it's time for this week's international news headlines which I believe relate directly to biblical prophecies. I hope to bring you these topics weekly as we go forward. I hope you will learn and benefit from these stories and that it will broaden your over-all knowledge. Any and all feedback on what we are presenting is always helpful in determining where we are to go in the future .......
(Note - First, I will state the source of the story, then the headline, and occasionally a comment where I feel appropriate)
April 14
*The Jerusalem Post - "Syrian forces shell Homs, breaking ceasefire" - Isaiah 17:1 says, "See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins." Never in history has Damascus been destroyed, so it must happen before our Lord returns. Considering the turmoil going on there as well as the entire middle east, it probably won't be long ......
*Yahoo.News -" Life-threatening storms feared in midwest"
*AP - "Severe U.S. weather: Why this warning is different" - This type of warning is a rare occurrence. It is only the 2nd time ever ... and are only sounded when conditions are very dangerous and unusual. ... As I've said before, we are only going to see more & more of these 'unprecedented' events occurring as we move ever closer ................... "birth pains" ...............
*France 24 - "War raging in Yemen - Hundreds killed in just last five days" - ' There will be wars and rumors of wars' ......
April 15
*Drudge Report - "Storm weekend: Tornadoes swarm across central plains ... 5 dead"
*The Guardian - "Web freedom under attack: 'Very powerful forces have lined up around world'" - ... Another sign of globalism on the march. We see it in almost all aspects of life ... the powerful looking to seize control ... the perfect scenario for some powerful leader (the anti-christ) to step in as the world continues on it's current suicide path ... (See Daniel 9, Revelation 13 as well as the rider of the white horse in Revelation 6 - the first horseman of the apocalypse) ...
*The Times of Israel - "Israeli TV report shows air force gearing up for Iran attack ... says moment of truth is near" ... We know that Israel has very few friends in the world. In fact the prophet Zechariah said in chapter 12 of his book that Israel would be surrounded by enemies set to destroy her .. looks pretty familiar, doesn't it?
April 16
*The Extinction Protocol - "Two volcanoes in Costa Rica now reporting increased activity"
*The Extinction Protocol - "Mexico's sleeping Popocatepeti volcano awakens" -- Man, there is an UNUSUAL amount of volcanic activity all over the world as of late .............
*The Weather Space - "Death ridge to form, another tornado event before end of month in the plains" ..... Wow! I feel sorry for these people! It just keeps getting worse & worse ...............
*Business Insider - "Joe Stiglitz's presentation: Why the entire global economic system will fail" ... He's not the only one that sees this coming. Huge debt is mounting all over the globe and no one seems to have the answer .... Some European politician said (sorry I can't remember his name) that the world needs a strong leader right now to help solve the catastrophic economic calamity that is facing us on seemingly all fronts ..... Remember the first horse I mentioned earlier that would come soon? Revelation 6:2 says. "... I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest." Most all of use 'watchmen' believe this to be a depiction of the anti-christ at the beginning of the tribulation period. Notice that he has a bow but no arrow ..... This, we believe, represents a 'bloodless' takeover of world government. An economic collapse would certainly afford this leader the opportunity to accomplish this ... just sayin' .....
*Wall Builders - "America's most biblically hostile U.S. president" ... Duh!!! Not only is he hostile to the Bible but also toward Israel. I believe that one of the reasons that America has been so blessed is because of our friendship and oversight of the welfare of the Jewish state. I also believe that once this goes away, LOOK OUT!!! ... Why, all of a sudden, do we see so many calamities befalling our great nation? ... Its simply a no-brainer ...
*Fox News - "Lady Gaga most followed 'twitter' person: Over 25 million visitors" - This is wonderful news!!. ... Now this is a role model I want for my kids & grandkids!!! ..... and we wonder why our youth are struggling morally today ........
April 17
*Croatian Times - "Quake expert: Earth cracking up" .... Does he mean physically or mentally??
*The Extinction Protocol - "Russia's Shiveluch volcano spews ash up to 31,000 feet: Most powerful eruption"
*The Extinction Protocol - "49th volcano erupts in 2012" ..... I think I just mentioned how many ........
*Earth Watch - "6.8 magnitude quake strikes off coast of New Guinea: 6.5 quake strikes Valparaiso" ... Lots of these lately also ... (Matthew 24:6-8)
*Space.com - "Spectacular solar flare erupts from the sun" ... Luke 21:25 says ".. There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars ..."
*Arutz Sheva - "Hamas war on Israel: 1100 missiles a year" ... The prophet Zechariah said that Israel would be surrounded by her enemies in the last days (chapter 12, verse 3) .... Well? ......
April 18
*Washington Post - "Debauchery: An American specialty" ... Wow! That says it like it is!!! The definition of debauchery is: Sensual pleasure; orgies; leading astray morally. ... Do I need to say anything?
*Fox News - "Kirk Cameron criticized for his position on homosexuality" ... Good for you, Kirk, for NOT buckling under the social pressure ... We know that some today think that we need to begin to change, or 'alter' our views on certain subjects because of the current culture .... Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. If we start 'picking & choosing' what we like, or don't like, soon it will all be corrupted. (Scriptural references for homosexuality being a sinful lifestyle are: 1 Corinthians 6:9; Romans 1:27; Jude 7; Leviticus 18:22, 20:13; 1 Timothy 1:10.)
April 19
*Fox News - "Pop artists turning to satanic imagery to drum up controversy, sales" ... Its an age-old image in Hollywood that sex sells, but with consumers finding themselves over saturated with sexual imagery, today's top acts are turning to something even more sinful to get our attention: satan. ... Here's just two quick examples of this truth: 1) Nicki Minaj's "Grammy" performance that showed exorcism on stage, & 2) Lady Gaga's pagan ritual on "American Idol" where she & others are falling into a live volcano ... and once again, we wonder why our youth are running rampant ..... (You can look at 2 Timothy 3:1-5 for a quick biblical view of 'last day' conditions). ... This fits right in.
*The Christian Post - "New English translation of Bible omits 'Jesus Christ', 'Angel': Also prefers 'emissary' over 'apostle'" .... Here we go again! Trying to make things 'modern' and selling out doing so ... I would stay away from this one ...
*The Jerusalem Post - "Israel, Cyprus gas finds spur Mediterranean Race" .... One of the prophecies that always garnered much discussion as to its accuracy was the fact that Israel would be a wealthy nation near the time of the end. (see Ezekiel 38:12). Well, with recent discoveries in gas & oil, I think this pretty much wraps up that discussion ....
*The Guardian - "Eurozone crisis deepens and tensions rise within European Union" ... Once again, we see the same thing happening that we talked about in the April 15th "Guardian " article. The economy will help usher in a world leader to 'stabilize' the world and 'save' it from itself (Daniel 9 & Revelation 13). ... Watch this part of the world closely as this is where the anti-christ will rise from. Remember, Daniel 9 talks about this leader coming from the old Roman Empire, which encompassed the land mass that now includes a large part of the European Union.
*Space.Com - "Earth unprepared for super solar storm" ....... (Luke 21:25)
*UPI.Com - "Belief in God found in decline" ... 2 Timothy 4:4 says, "They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." .... One after the other! How many signs do people need to see what the truth is? ... ... But I do know why ... Not many are aware of Bible prophecy ... very few are teaching it. ..... So, once again, I encourage each of you to forward this website to as many people as you can. .. It could be just some one thing that will trigger their hearts to begin to search for the truth. .. Let us help if we can ......
We are receiving a good number of 'hits' and I want to personally thank each of you for your interest. My one & only desire is to touch a lost soul's heart so that they might reach out for the salvation that as so richly rewarded me & changed my entire life. ... May God richly bless you all!
Until next time,
Red
