Hello,
Today there was so much news to report that the news agencies literally couldn't keep up with it all but felt I needed to share. I knew and understood that as the end got close the world would be in upheaval but WOW! After reading Psalm 83 again and seeing God bring together those 10 people groups, Egypt will now break its peace treaty with Israel, you just look farther from Israel and you find all of this. And here I thought it was just economic signs of the times that show how close the New World Order is. But that means He is closer! Jesus foretold that there would be fearful sights (Luke 21:11). They are coming faster and faster and not just these below but these animal die offs as well. Watch!

I guess the world thinks a book is more dangerous than a dagger. How sad the world is. I will try not to comment on all of these :).

************This one is NOT a news source********* It is wikipedia, but I found this, a secular article, most interesting.......
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_government]
There were 3 7+ earthquakes (Pakistan, Chile, and Loyality Islands) in the month of Jan. alone.
False Christs? Wikipedia has a list of people who claim to be Christ in the twentieth century......there are just too many to list here.

How close must we be to the King coming back for us, to call us to Himself!!!!
This should be a time of rejoicing and praise, even as the world falls into chaos. Jesus, our Lord and Savior, has bought us with His own blood and washed away all of our sins!! His coming is not a time to fear, it is a time like no other time, a time of utter joy. To be able to look upon His face, to be able to fall at His feet and worship Him, to see all of our loved ones who have gone on before us, AND TO FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY GO HOME........That day will be the greatest day!
Jerusalem will be a burdensome stone to all nations (Zechariah 12:3). Almost daily the news reports on the conflict over Jerusalem. The United Nations, the Vatican, and many world leaders want to make it an international city. However, God says that the city is His and He has given it to the Jews forever (Genesis 15:18; Leviticus 25:23; 2 Chronicles 6:6). All who burden themselves with it will be cut in pieces.
Stayed tuned for the Psalm 83, Isaiah 17, and Ezekiel 38 trilogy. Who needs star wars or lord of the rings for their trilogy :). We have the Lord!
Stand and WATCH! Mark 13:33
love
