Not Good for Pakistan

One of the biggest fears of the CIA is that Al Qaeda is going to attempt to get it's hands on the nuclear weapons that Pakistan has in it's arsenal. The Taliban is closely aligned with Al Qaeda as they both want destruction and chaos since it's easiest for them to rule if no organized government exists. So when a bunch of anti-Taliban tribal elders organized a meeting to discuss what can be done to fight the Taliban...that was a good thing. Similar to what happened in Iraq during the Sunni uprising when all the tribal leaders decided to turn on Al Qaeda. So it is NOT GOOD that the Taliban was able to blow up the meeting and kill 40 of these tribal leaders. Certainly it was a good day for the Taliban and certainly it was a bad day for civilized man.

Watch Russia

Russia's economy is in shambles as Putin scares all foreign investors away. People have little hope now for a great future, so they are aborting their kids at the alarming rate of 64% of all pregnancies. Read the article here; http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/oct/08100103.html

With that as a backdrop, they have very few positive assets to play with as their society crumbles. So we should look to them to start playing with negative assets...mainly their military machine. This further sets the scene for them to build a military coalition that will fufill their role in the end times.

China's Comments on U.S. Finance

For those of us who are students of prophecy, China is one country we like to watch. Why? Because John, in Revelation, saw that an army of 200,000,000 soldiers would one day be led across the dry Euphrates River to fight in one of the battles of Armegeddon. Who could have imagined an army so large when John was writing Revelation. There weren't even 200,000,000 people on planet earth at that time. Today, China has said that they can field an army of this size.

So what does China think about the current financial mess that is unfolding in the U.S.? Here is one paragraph from a Chinese paper that makes me think that the U.S. may soon loose it's job as "Global Financial Leader".

"An in-depth analysis suggested that the $700 billion bailout plan would possibly send the entire world plunging into a fresh wave of financial crisis. The bulky sum for rescue also indicates that the U.S is trying to shift its problems to others, and the world at large will have to pay the price for Wall Street financial storm, as almost all the economies are interdependent and the risk of continued chaos remains significant in the U.S economy."

Sin is the Cause of U.S. Financial Crisis

We have all probably heard of Crown Financial Ministries if we have ever listened to James Dobson and/or KTIS radio. In this article, the CEO of Crown hits it on the head when he says that our financial crisis is caused by sin and unless we repent of it...it probably won't be fixed. As Christians, we all need to ask ourselves if we have been spending more time and effort accumulating wealth and treasures on earth than we have spent on making disciples. I fear that we have ignored The Great Commission that Christ left us with and instead left that job up to our church. If this is the case, and I'm pretty sure it is, then we can assume that God's judgement will soon be coming. As we cry about our falling stock market and lost wealth, I think of Christ's words; "where your treasure is...there also is your heart".

Russia Arming Iran

We know that Russia is in Iran building them an anti-aircraft system. We also know that they have some mutual defense understandings. Ezekiel tells us very clearly that Russia and Persia will be aligned in the Last Days in an attempt to destroy Israel. So this article is very telling in that it talks about Israel, Russia and Iran. And Israel fears that Russia is sending advanced arms to Iran.

Hezbollah Mentions "Big Surprise" for Israel

As the rumors of war continue to heat up in the Holy Land, this article is interesting. There is mention that if Israel attacks Hezbollah in Lebanon that they might get a big surprise. Knowing that Hezbollah is supported by Iran, it makes one wonder what kind of military goodies that Iran may have shipped into Lebanon.

Israel Accuses North Korea

Now here is a surprise...it appears that North Korea has been selling conventional and nuclear technology to all sorts of willing recipients in the middle east and Africa. You can read the LA Times article here; http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-fg-nukes5-2008oct05,0,7886371.story

We have talked a lot about Ezekiel 38 and 39 and those yet to be fufilled prophesies. The article doesn't name specifically what countries in Africa and the middle east, but I would bet you a dollar that a lot of them would be the players who are listed in Ezekiels prophecy.

Also, if you go to read Ezekiel, remember that the countries have different names and boundaries than they did 2800 yrs ago. For instance, when Ezekiel says "Persia", we know that is present day Iran.

1999 NYT Article Explains Current Situation

This article was published in the New York Times in September, 1999. It talks about the programs to put mortgages into the hands of people with poor credit. Here is one paragraph that the Democrats (Pelosi?) won't want to see; "Fannie Mae, the nation's biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits."

Did you catch that?? Increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration. So when the Democrats are trying hard to blame this financial mess on the current administration...they are lying. I'm not saying that there isn't blame to go all around...there will be.

Blankest Sun

A few weeks back we posted an article that talked about the lack of sun spots. Now it appears the sun is doing more unusual things and maybe even more scientists are picking up on this phenomenon. The bible tells us that in the last days there will be unusual signs in the sky. Also, it's interesting to note that a blank sun has led to colder periods on planet earth. If this turns out to be true and the earth does get colder, that would certainly confound the "global warming" crowd. If that happened, I wonder if Al Gore would reverse his message and tell us to start burning more fossil fuels in an attempt to warm things up?

Dividing Israel

As we know, Secratary Condoleeza Rice and the current administration are pushing hard for some peace agreement between Israel and the arabs, who call themselves "Palestinians". After watching the VP debate between Biden and Palin, we can see that both sides seem to be furthering that call. Here's a bible trivia question; Where in the bible does it say that it won't go well for any country who tries to divide God's Holy Land?
