Iran Getting Close

Here is an article that guesses when Iran might have enough material to make a bomb. For the US it seems a distant problem, but for Israel the time is drawing close when they will have to do something.

Here's a paragraph from the article; Kay said there is "virtually no possibility" Iran will give up its uranium enrichment program, which can be used to fuel civilian reactors for domestic energy use as well as make fissile material for warheads.

Read a Book

I have just finished reading the book WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON. The author is Dr. David Jeremiah and I strongly recommend it. You can tune in to Pastor Jeremiah's sermons every morning in Minnesota on KTIS 900 AM at 9:00 Am. He is currently preaching on the chapters in this book, so get it quick and follow along.

He believes strongly in the pre-tribulation rapture and believes we all need to share the truth about Christ coming for his church...because time is short.

As Christ says, "When you see all these things, look up, for your redemption is nigh." Come Lord Jesus!

Everybody Build a Nuclear Bomb!

If it isn't bad enough that Iran is on the quest for the bomb, North Korea has the bomb, Pakistan could lose control of it's bombs...now we have Venezuela saying that Russia is going to help them get nuclear power, which will be the first step to getting a bomb. For those not real familiar with Hugo Chavez, he is the fiery president of Venezuela. He also is the guy who hates America. At his UN speech last year he spoke after President Bush. When he got to the pulpit following Bush, he waved his hand in front of his nose and said that Bush smelled of sulfer because he just came out of hell. So this will soon be another threat that these crazy men will one day put a bomb in the hands of terrorists and it will be lights out for a lot of people.

U.S. Moral Decline Linked to Wall Street Woes

Here's a great article that points out what we have been saying for sometime. You can't have a society that runs on instant gratification and spending more than what it makes. The math simply won't work for long before the whole thing unravels. Hey doesn't it say that in the bible somewhere? I wonder if this society is reading it's bible at all?

More Famine

I posted a few days ago about the famines are starvation that are hitting the horn of Africa and also Haiti, which has endured 4 hurricanes and wiped out what little they already had. Now you can read about another famine that is heading for Uganda. Note this quote from the article; "In the next five years scientists expect famine to hit various parts of the world at the worst magnitude," Prof Bukenya said. See how he used the word "worst".

Now read Matthew 24 again. Jesus said, "There will be famines and earthquakes everywhere. All these things are like the first pains of childbirth."

Ahmadinejad at the United Nations

We all know that Iran's fiery president has been preaching about the destruction of Israel. It's very concerning since we know he is trying desperately to acquire a nuclear bomb. Last week he was at the UN and he gave a speech. You can read it here; http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1024097.html

Remember a few things while you are reading this. First off, his god is Allah, which IS NOT the God of the Old Testament and the Father of Jesus Christ. So when he invites us to join with him in prayer to Allah, it goes directly against what our Father in heaven has told us to do. Secondly, when he speaks of the "perfect human being", he is speaking of his end-times belief in the return of the 12th Imam. In Shiite-Islam, (the beliefs of Ahmadinejad) they believe that the 12th Imam will return to earth when earth has fallen into total chaos. They believe he will kill all the Jews, and make all the Christians, Hindus, Buddists, etc...all submit to Islam. When Ahmadinejad speaks of the opportunity to make the world a perfect place, he is referring to that time...when Islam will be the one world religion and all law will be handed out according to the laws of the Koran.

This is a very scary message from a man who wants a nuclear bomb. But it seems the world is simply too busy to give it much thought. The last man who tried to kill all the Jews, make a perfect race and rule with a perfect government was named Adolf Hitler. Does the world have eyes to see and ears to hear?

Tribualtion has Already Started for Some

As I read this article about Haiti, it would appear that for some people on earth, The Tribulation has already started. The poorest nation on earth was just hit with 4 hurricanes and there really is nothing left on the island. Where is the media coverage to tell us of this poor nation and 900,000 people have nothing but the shirt on their back? Simply put, the catasrophes of this earth seem to be coming so fast that the world simply doesn't have the time, money or empathy to deal with them all. So we in the US will simply stay focused on what is happening to all our precious money. I don't know the answer...only God does. But I do know that we should all count our blessings every day that we have clean water, a dry place to sleep and food in our bellies...since for millions of others on planet earth, they would view our lives as a slice of heaven.

Cut the Blue Wire!

Many people have been asking me whether I would vote for or against the $700 Billion bailout. I actually can make a case for either one, but I do know that the average citizen/voter has NO IDEA what this whole deal is even about. They think the $700 Billion is going to just go into the hands of Wall Street traders, but in acutality it is meant to save the main street person. What we have is a credit crisis where no one is lending money to anyone since they fear they might not get it back. So the small business who relies on a line of credit to pay his workers week in and week out may not have money to pay his workers. His business might be great but he only gets paid once per month when he sells a machine, but he needs cash every week to pay his workers. Who will get hurt in that deal? The guy building the machines.

On the other hand, we can't have Government coming in and taking over every bad thing that ever happens from hurricanes, to failed automakers to failed Wall Street firms. So what will be the fall out? Think of the movie we have all seen where the guy has 10 seconds to disarm the bomb. There are two wires....a red one and blue one. He has to make a decision really soon. If he chooses the red one and it's wrong, then everyone will die. Same thing with the blue one. That's what's happening in Congress this week. The timer is ticking and no one has any clue how far or how hard we might fall, so they are just going to close their eyes and cut a wire. Hey...maybe we will get lucky like James Bond always does when he has to choose a wire.
