Gold and Stocks Fall

The markets have gone up as the Federal Reserve continues pumping manufactured money into the system.  When they even hint that they might quit printing money...the markets start to tank.

This is what happened earlier this week.

U.S. stocks started a downward slide yesterday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Fed may draw down its $85 billion-per-month bond-buying program sometime in mid-2014 if unemployment manages to work its way down to 6.5 percent.

 

And that downward slide picked up steam on Thursday, sending the three major U.S. stock indices way, way lower.

 

The S&P 500 posted big losses.

Will this be the start of a really big fall....or will this just be a temporary set back?

 

No one knows.

 

What we do know is that ONE DAY the whole scheme created by the world's central bankers will collapse.  We know this because the Bible says one day a new financial system will link the world together...and in order for this to happen, the current one has to get out of the way.

Hundreds Killed in India Flooding

The crazy weather continues....this time in India where hundreds are dead from monsoon rains with even more expected.

GOVINDGHAT, India (AP) — Soldiers were working to evacuate tens of thousands of people still stranded Saturday in northern India where nearly 600 people have been killed in monsoon flooding and landslides.

 

With bad weather and heavy rainfall predicted over the next two days, there was an added urgency to reach the approximately 50,000 people still stranded in the flood-hit Uttarakhand state, federal Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said.

Since helicopters could rescue only small groups of people at a time, Shinde said army troops were opening up another road route to the Hindu temple town of Kedarnath, worst hit by the floods. More than 250 people have taken shelter in Kedarnath's main temple and are waiting to be rescued, he said.

Bridges and roads were washed away or blocked by debris. Shinde said air force helicopters were dropping food and drinking water to those stranded in inaccessible areas. More than 35,000 people have been rescued from the worst-hit districts over the past five days.

Syria a "Dress Rehearsal" for World War?

What started with some Syrian Sunnis trying to overthrow their Shiite-backed dictator is now involving many nations...including the USA, Russia, Iran, Turkey, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon and more.

Could this a dress rehearsal for another world war?

A leading Israeli expert on the Middle East suggested last week that with all the foreign involvement in the ongoing Syrian civil war, that conflict could be the harbinger of a much wider conflagration.
Prof. Itamar Rabinovich, a former Israeli ambassador to Egypt, told those attending a symposium at Tel Aviv University that in the eyes of the Arab world, the final outcome of the Arab Spring hinges on the results of the struggle in Syria.

According to Prof. Rabinovich, the Syrian conflict is a Middle Eastern version of the Spanish Civil War, which was itself a dress rehearsal for World War II.

In Syria, the opposition is supported by the US and Europe, while the regime is backed by Hezbollah, Iran, and China. For Russia, the stakes are also high. Moscow sees Syria as a key to restoring Russia's status in the region, so replacing the Assad regime with one supportive of America is unacceptable to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Still, it's Iran that probably has the most to lose in Syria. Prof. Rabinovich explained that Iran has actually invested more than Russia when it comes to Syria. Iran wants hegemony in the Middle East, and thus far it has only managed to export its Islamic Revolution to Lebanon, in the form of Hezbollah, which is today more powerful than the state itself.

Iran needs to maintain Syria as a vital link to Hezbollah if it hopes to succeed anywhere else in the region. "The civil war in Syria is not being run by Assad, but rather by Iranian military commanders," Rabinovich revealed. "Hezbollah is also commanding much of the fighting with troops that entered the country from Lebanon."

So Obama and The West has said that ASSAD MUST GO!  But that is 'unacceptable' to Russia's Putin.  Meanwhile Putin has ordered Russia to start flying it's old nuclear bomber patterns that it did throughout the Cold War.  He seems to have a strong desire to make Russia a glorious proud place that it believed it once was...instead of the depressed, alcoholic, childless society that it truly is.

Is Putin going to be the one who leads Russia in a coalition to stomp out Israel?  (read Ezekiel 38-39)

Will America even be here to stand up against her?....or will the rapture of the church seal America's fate....which would explain why America is no where to be found in Last Day's prophecies?

Even so...COME LORD JESUS!

Clinton Speaks of Two State Solution for Israel

Did you know the Arabs already have a two state plan?  It's called JORDAN.

The Arabs were supposed to go there and have their own Arab State and the Jews were supposed to go on the other side of the Jordan River and set up a Jewish state.

The Arabs said, "No!  Jews won't have 1 square inch in this land!  We will kill them all!"...but meanwhile they still accepted the nation of Jordan and kicked out all the Jews anyway.

Of course this was after the Jews had legally purchased all this land starting in the late 1800's from Arabs who really wanted nothing to do with the barren chunk of treeless property.

But of course the Arabs have lied and cried for 65 years now and used Hitler's idea of repeating a lie long enough so that it ultimately becomes truth.

And now the whole world believes the Arabs need another state so that there can be peace in the Middle East.  Now Bill Clinton is telling Israel they need to give up some land to make another Arab-Muslim state.

JERUSALEM, June 18 (UPI) -- The only choice for Israel to remain a Jewish and democratic nation is to work toward a two-state solution, former U.S. President Bill Clinton said.

Clinton was in Israel to attend celebrations marking the 90th birthday of Israeli President Shimon Peres.

"You have to cobble together some kind of theory of a two-state solution, and the longer you let this go, just because of sheer demographics, the tougher it's going to get. I don't see any alternative to a Palestinian state," the former U.S. President said in a speech before the Peres Academic Center in Rehovot Monday night.

Even in Israel we have politicians and political parties debating about whether they should agree to making another Arab state.

Finance Minister Yair Lapid on Wednesday rejected his coalition partner Naftali Bennett's commnets that the two-state solution is dead.

Speaking in an interview with Channel 2, Lapid said, "I think Bennett is wrong. Israel has to continue to pursue peace based on a two-state solution...we must try again and again and never give up."

Lapid said that the alternative to a two-state solution was a bi-national state which would spell the death of Israel.

How ridiculous to even attempt to pursue peace with a group who has sworn allegiance to your destruction.

How ridiculous to ignore God's clear word that it will not go well with the nations who attempt to divide HIS HOLY LAND.

Syrian Rebels Be-head Christian and Feed Him to Dogs

Is this nun lying?  Did these Muslims really do this??  Is Obama really going to send these guys guns, bullets and bombs?

Syrian rebels beheaded a Christian man and fed his body to dogs, according to a nun who says the West is ignoring atrocities committed by Islamic extremists.

The nun said taxi driver Andrei Arbashe, 38, was kidnapped after his brother was heard complaining that fighters against the ruling regime behaved like bandits.

She said his headless corpse was found by the side of the road, surrounded by hungry dogs. He had recently married and was soon to be a father.

Sister Agnes-Mariam de la Croix said: ‘His only crime was his brother criticised the rebels, accused them of acting like bandits, which is what they are.’

There have been a growing number of accounts of atrocities carried out by rogue elements of the Syrian Free Army, which opposes dictator Bashar al-Assad and is recognised by Britain and the West as the legitimate leadership.

Certainly, once the demons of war are released...it is hard to hold them in check.  Men can turn into animals.  Who can stop them?  Blood, rape, rage, murder and a continual quest for power.

Today it's the Muslim's turn to be animals.  70 years ago it was the Japanese who had turned into animals and went to China to rape babies and women, murder children and skin men alive just to watch them squirm. (Google; The Rape Of Nankin) 

At the same time the Germans had turned to animals and were making pillows out of Jew hair and lamp shades out of their skins.

I'm pretty sure that even animals don't behave that badly.

Jeremiah tells us that the human heart is so wicked that no one can know it.

Thank you Jesus that you came and gave us clean hearts!  Help us to be sober, ready and watching when you return!

"Wars That No One Can Stop..."

Syria's President Assad has some warnings for us all.  Remember, he is a dictator with much blood on his hands...but if he is knocked out of power...those who take over could be much worse.

BEIRUT (TheBlaze/AP) — Syria’s president warned that Europe “will pay a price” if it delivers weapons to the rebels fighting him, saying in an interview published Monday that arming them would backfire as the “terrorists” return to their countries with extremist ideologies.

 

Assad further warned that as the conflict spills into neighboring countries, blurring borders, it will set off a domino effect.

 

“Nobody can imagine how the region would look like in case of a redrawing of the map. That will be a map for uncounted wars in the Middle East and possibly elsewhere, that nobody can stop,” he said.

 

Assad’s comments were his first since last week’s decision by President Barack Obama to authorize weapons and ammunition shipments to Syrian rebels, after confirming that Assad’s regime used chemical weapons against them.

 

The European Union has also allowed a weapons embargo against Syria to expire, allowing members of the 27-nation bloc to arm the rebels. France and Britain are moving in that direction, but the German government opposes such a move.

 

“If the Europeans ship weapons, Europe’s backyard becomes a terrorists’ place, and Europe will pay a price for it,” Assad threatened in Arabic comments translated into German.

 

Chaos in Syria would result in “the direct export of terrorism to Europe,” he warned. “Terrorists will return to Europe with fighting experience and extremist ideologies.”

Seriously....If I was one of those Christians who believe that we need to make the world a better place so that Christ can return....I would be seriously depressed right now and for sure I would NOT be listening for the trumpet to sound!!

 

As it is, we who KNOW the Tribulation has not happened and are watching for earthquakes, wars, rumors of war, increasing violence, increasing perversion, evil called good, love of neighbor to grow cold, apostasy in the church, false religions, idolatry, rebellious children, etc...  we are looking at the headlines and saying, "Wow!  What an exciting time!!  It is EXACTLY as Jesus and the Apostles said it would be!!"

 

And of course we also know that Jesus said, "When you see ALL THESE THINGS BEGIN to happen...then look up, for your redemption is near."

 

How exciting is that?!?!  Just imagine if WE ARE THE GENERATION that have been ordained since before the foundations of the earth, to NEVER die...but to go right from life into eternal life!!

 

What a day that will be!!

 

Of course I have NO IDEA if we are that generation....but as I look at the news I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF WE ARE!!

 

So keep working for the Lord people!!  The Master is going to come when the world is just carrying on as usual...and I'm guessing many folks who call themselves Christians will be sound asleep.

Muslim Lawyers Want Obama Arrested

What the heck??  I thought Obama was going to make it so everyone liked the USA again?...after that nasty President Bush made us so unpopular??  I thought he was going to push the RESET button with all these Muslim countries and even with Russia??

I think he hit the SELF DESTRUCT button instead....

The Muslim Lawyers Association in Johannesburg wants US President Barack Obama arrested and tried for war crimes when he arrives in South Africa on June 29.

It submitted a 600-plus page document to the Office of the National Director of Public Prosecutions on Friday asking for an investigation into Obama's involvement in the Middle East.

Group spokesman Yousha Tayob said Obama ordered drone strikes that killed innocent civilians.
In terms of the Rome Statute, South Africa has the right to prosecute a war criminal on its territory, said Tayob.

Researchers from New York University School of Law and Stanford University Law School recently released a report entitled "Living Under Drones: Death, Injury and Trauma to Civilians From US Drone Practices in Pakistan".

They found that in four years Obama commissioned five times more drone attacks than former president George W Bush did in his two terms in the White House .

The report estimates drones have killed between 474 and 881 civilians, including 176 children.
The US Embassy in South Africa's spokesman Jack Hillmeyer said it had "no comment".

National Prosecuting Authority spokesman Bulelwa Makeke said the office had received the docket and was studying it.

Here;  http://www.timeslive.co.za/thetimes/2013/06/11/arrest-obama-when-he-visits

Holy drone attack!!  You mean Obama has ordered 5 times MORE drone attacks in one term than Bush did during two terms??

Well hold on there, Bubalooey....the drone program wasn't at full capacity when 9/11 happened and Bush went into TERRORIST DESTRUCT MODE....so that statistic is more than a little misleading.

However, it should prove one thing to Obama;  You simply can't be the "decider" and have everyone like you.  The other thing it should prove is that it is A LOT easier to criticize the President than it is to BE the president.

We have no way of knowing if these stats are true, but I wonder how many civilians and children were killed by random bombs being dropped from planes in WWII??  I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say it was HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS....not to mention the 200,000 civilians that USA incinerated in Japan by dropping two nuclear bombs.

So get over it Muslim Lawyers!!  Why don't you go file a lawsuit against the Sunni Muslims and Shiite Muslims...as they have killed a lot more civilians...and are guilty of far more war crimes than Obama is!

Hey...wait a tick....did I just defend Obama??  What the heck....?

Egypt Severs Ties With Damascus

Hey!...this Muslim on Muslim spat in the Middle East is getting serious!!

Now we have Egypt (Sunni led Muslim Brotherhood) saying they have had enough of Syria's government. (Shiite led)  They are even pulling their embassy in Damascus!!

CAIRO (TheBlaze/AP) — Egypt’s Islamist president announced Saturday that he was cutting off diplomatic relations with Syria and closing Damascus’ embassy in Cairo, decisions made amid growing calls from hard-line Sunni clerics in Egypt and elsewhere to launch a “holy war” against Syria’s embattled regime.

Mohammed Morsi told thousands of supporters at a rally in Cairo that his government was also withdrawing the Egyptian charge d’affaires from Damascus. He called on Lebanon’s Hezbollah to leave Syria, where the Iranian-backed Shiite militant group has been fighting alongside troops loyal to embattled President Bashar Assad against the mostly Sunni rebels.

 

“Hezbollah must leave Syria. This is serious talk: There is no business or place for Hezbollah in Syria,” said Morsi, Egypt’s first freely elected president.

 

Morsi’s address, particularly his call on Hezbollah to leave Syria, and the fiery rhetoric used by well-known Muslim clerics this weekend point to the increasing perception of the Syrian conflict as sectarian. At least 93,000 people have been killed since turmoil there began more than two years ago.

 

The rally that Morsi addressed on Saturday was called for by hardline Islamists loyal to the Egyptian president to show solidarity with the people of Syria. However, Morsi also used the occasion to warn his opponents at home against the use of violence in mass protests planned for June 30, the anniversary of his assumption to power.

 

Morsi’s allies say the protests have no legal basis and amount to a coup against his legitimate rule. They have been calling on opposition leaders to enter a national political dialogue to resolve the crisis, but the opposition has turned down the offer, claiming that previous rounds of dialogue did not yield results.

 

Spearheading the opposition to Morsi’s rule now is a youth protest movement called Tamarod, or rebel, which claims to have collected millions of signatures of Egyptians who want Morsi to step down. Organizers say they aim to collect the signatures of more people than those who voted for Morsi in the June 2012 election.

Honestly...it is hard not to read this and get a little bit giddy.  Think about it....the Muslim Sunni terrorists (Muslim Brotherhood) are threatening the Muslim Sunni terrorists (Hezbollah)!  What could possibly be better??  Shouldn't we encourage them to shoot as many of each other as possible?

 

Yes, I know...that's not a Christian thought. 

 

Our hearts SHOULD BE breaking for all these lost Muslim terrorists who bow to Allah 5 times per day and have fallen for Satan's whole basket of lies....because every time one of them dies, he wakes up in hell and will be separated from Christ for eternity! 

 

However, I will confess it is hard to feel compassion for butchers screaming "Allah Akbar" as they murder women and children and cut each other's heads off. 

Lord help us.

 

Also please remember that there are bigger currents running through this story as Russia throws its weight behind Syria's Dictator Assad.  That is an "in your face" to Obama announcing he wants Assad GONE!

 

For now, let's file this article under, WARS AND RUMORS OF WAR....with a sub-file set in ISAIAH 17....who knows... maybe even the rats can sense that the ship is about to be destroyed and are jumping off?!?!

Massive Blast Lights Up Damascus

Keep your eyes on it folks!

DAMASCUS, Syria, June 17 (UPI) -- An explosion one witness said sounded "like thunder" slammed a Damascus neighborhood where several embassies and a military airport are located late Sunday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition group based in London, said a car bomb was set off at a checkpoint near the military airport in the Mezzeh section of Damascus, The (Beirut, Lebanon) Daily Star reported.

The Observatory said there were reports of casualties, but provided no figures.

The Observatory said there were reports of casualties, but provided no figures.
"It was so big. There was a white light followed by a sound like thunder," said one resident who was several kilometers from the site.

Syrian state TV referred to the blast as "a terrorist attempt to target Mezzeh military airport," the BBC reported

The British network said there were unconfirmed reports of about 20 soldiers killed or wounded in the massive blast.

Sarah Palin was speaking at some event recently.  When asked about what USA should do in Syria, she said, "Let Allah figure it out!"

I thought that was a clever answer...but sadly its not going to be that easy.  USA has already sent some troops to pave the way for Obama to start arming the rebels...WHOEVER THEY ARE.

Understand that every gun we send them is one day going to find its way to be used on Israel or turned back on us.
