Over 100 People Killed in Egypt

After following the headlines out of Egypt over the past few weeks, I'm half expecting the next headline to read, "Let the Civil War Begin!"

It is being reported today that over 100 supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, elected President, Morsi....were killed while at demonstrations.

At least 136 supporters of Egypt's ousted president, Mohamed Morsi, have been shot dead by security officials in what is the worst state-led massacre in the country since the fall of Hosni Mubarak, according to figures released by Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood.

The Egyptian health ministry said that it had counted only 20 dead so far – though their figures are only based on bodies delivered to state institutions. Reporters at the scene counted at least 36 corpses in a single room.

The massacre took place in the small hours of Saturday morning, at a sit-in at Rabaa al-Adawiya, east Cairo, where tens of thousands of pro-Morsi supporters have camped since Morsi was deposed on 3 July.

Brotherhood spokesman Gehad El-Haddad said the shooting started shortly before pre-dawn morning prayers on the fringes of a round-the-clock vigil being staged by backers of Morsi, who was toppled by the army more than three weeks ago.

"They are not shooting to wound, they are shooting to kill," Haddad said, adding that the death toll might be much higher.
 
Al Jazeera's Egypt television station reported that 120 had been killed and some 4,500 injured in the early morning violence near Cairo's Rabaa al-Adawia mosque.

Reporters at the scene said firing could still be heard hours after the troubles started.

"There will be wars and rumors of war...."

The birth pangs continue to get stronger...and the frequency of those pains continues to increase.

Please DO NOT be surprised if you hear the trumpet blow. It may sound an awful lot like the voice of an archangel and the trumpet call of God!

"But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that THIS DAY should surprise you like a thief." 1 Thessalonians 5:4

Remember friends...Paul tells us that those folks who are excited about the return of Christ may get a special reward...called the Crown of Righteousness.

Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."  2 Timothy 4:8

Are you LONGING for Christ to return?  Are we sick of the crap coming from all sides on planet earth?  Are we longing for the groom to return for us?
