LUKE 17:28-37 (KJV)

28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 32Remember Lot's wife. 33Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 34I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 36Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 37And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

MORE AND MORE SIGNS EVERYWHERE

I don't look at much mainstream media, but when I do I see so many killings taking place. If we as a society weren't so desensitized and uncaring, we would be screaming 'What the hell is going on? What is wrong with people?' There is not just one murder of a family member by a family member, there are two or three or sometimes more. There's a new report of a missing child nearly every day if not every single day, or of one having been found. Unfortunately, usually not alive. It used to be big news, with Amber alerts being put out and nationwide postings, but not anymore - it's a commonplace event. The world grows a little colder everyday. A Russian naval flotilla is now flanking the Syrian coastline in support of President Assad who vows to not give up power, and we know that the NWO folks don't take too kindly to not rolling over when they say roll over. Reports are coming out that Iran is enriching uranium underground. Whether they are or they aren't, matters not. The blood in the streets in Damascus have the people questioning if the fight is worth the price of the amount of immense blood being shed. Yet, it is time for more war. It is knocking on the door while we are busy with football and all the other circuses that we so dearly love and hold our attention. It is easy to look away when we are not directly affected. We talk about the weather because it directly affects us. But we cannot discern the time we are in. Just as Jesus said. Everything is just as Jesus said it would be and it is directly upon us as we go about our daily business, carrying on like things are normal because we don't know what else to do so we keep on doing things the way we always do; . Soon there will be much more than the weather directly affecting us and many mens' hearts will fail them for what we are about to witness. But there is no fear because everything is as Jesus said it would be. He said to not let our hearts grow faint because we know these things will come. And then they will pass. This whole heaven and earth will pass away. Can we imagine witnessing that? Now there's something we should be discussing because each and every one of us will be affected for eternity. No wonder then we have to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. As the dark darkens though, the light brightens. Our God is with us. Our God will not forsake us. How do I know this? Because Jesus said so. Good riddance to the evil and the corrupted ones. God's judgment is righteous and just. I pray for it to be coming soon.

HOLD ON TIGHT TO THE PRICELESS WORD OF GOD

If the beginning of this year is going to be an indication of what lies ahead, we are in for one terrific year. There are many reports of a fireball seen over New Mexico and Colorado, and while that in itself is not so strange as meteors aren't that of an uncommon occurence, but with all the other things going in, it is at least noteworthy. I don't live in Beebe, Arkansas so I can't verify it, and because it is almost unbelievable I would like to see it with my own eyes, that there were thousands of blackbirds which fell from their nests to their untimely deaths again on New Year's Eve just as at the beginning of 2011. Japan had a 7.0 quake which USGS reports as a 6.8, but with either reporting it was a tremendous tremor because it reportedly shook the whole entire island. Obama has waged war against Iran and the citizens of the US with the stroke of his pen. He has signed tough sanctions against Iran, which is an act of war and will be seen as such; and he has made indefinite detention of US citizens suspected of terrorism legal. First they came for those held at Guantanamo Bay and then they came for us. Unlike the unfortunate souls at Gitmo, we may be entitled to a trial. Or maybe not. Those who are prepetrating these crimes against all humanity, their time is limited and they are already defeated. Enjoy the show. Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. Amen. And for those who love and fear Him; Malachi 4:2-3 But unto you that fear my name shall the Son of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts. Amen and amen! Stay blessed and keep looking up because our redemption is drawing near.
