Prophecy Sign: In part of Matthew 24:7 the Lord warns to watch for wars and rumors of war.  For over a year the US news has been filled with reports that Israel is going to attack Iran soon and the US may back them up.  Recent news is now saying this war may be fought this September or November.  Knowing that the US will be engaged in a new war and they do not have enough troops as it is, could this be the real reason why Rep. Charles Rangel is now seeking to reinstate the draft?  Let’s see how fast this bill moves?

“A bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., would reinstate a compulsory military draft during wartime and require U.S. citizens not selected for military duty to perform a "national-service obligation" – as defined by President Obama – for a minimum of two years.

Rangel introduced the Universal National Service Act, or H.R. 5741, on July 15. The measure was referred to the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Military Personnel on July 23.

Rangel introduced similar bills in 2003, 2006 and 2007. His current bill does not have a co-sponsor.

Rangel took to the floor of the House to reintroduce H.R. 5741, stating, "I have introduced legislation to reinstate the draft and to make it permanent during time of war. It is H.R. 5741, and what this does is to make everyone between the ages of 18 and 42 – whether they’re men or women, whether they’re straight or gay – to have the opportunity to defend this great country whenever the president truly believes that our national security is threatened."

   First read this news and then I will connect the dots between this news and what we are warned from Jesus in the Book of Revelation. Make sure you watch the video at the end of this post!

“VIVIAN, SD – A small South Dakota town is being recognized for a big find after last Friday's storms. It was Friday afternoon when a line of thunderstorms fired up in central South Dakota. High winds, heavy rains and even a possible tornado rolled through the town of Vivian. But now days later, a hailstone picked up just moments after the storm is getting worldwide attention. The damage is proof that it wasn't a typical South Dakota thunderstorm. Holes were punched through the top of buildings, and Les Scott will never forget what it sounded like. "A guy throwing bricks at the house and many of them and it was scary," Scott said. Scott watched as massive hailstones pummeled the ground. Tuesday, the dents in the ground are still visible, some as large and deep as coffee cans. But when the hail stopped, a certain stone grabbed his attention.”

“Scott originally wanted to make a daiquiri out of the hail, but decided to contact the National Weather Service instead. Tuesday, they were in Vivian. They carefully took the stone from the freezer and placed it in a cooler with dry ice. The next stop was at the post office where the hail had a date with the federally certified scale. Moments later, the hailstone weighed in at 1.9375 pounds. “Officially, where records have been kept, this will be the U.S. record and world record for weight. So very impressive," Mike Fowle of the National Weather Service said.”

http://www.keloland.com/News/NewsDetail6371.cfm?Id=102949

Let us take a look at what the Lord has shown us from His Word found in the Bible concerning Hailstones. Read what Job said.  "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail, which Ihave reserved for the time of distress, for the day of war and battle?" (Job 38:22-23) This passage teaches  God has a store house of hail, specifically for "the time of distress," and "for the day of war and battle." For those who think this statement Is just  metaphor are in for a huge surprise. In the Old Testament we have seen the Lord use hail stones to fight against Israel’s enemies.

Look at Exodus. 9:22-26, here we see the Lord using hail stones against Egypt during the seventh plague. I quote, “Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that hail will fall all over Egypt–on men and animals and on everything growing in the fields of Egypt." When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt; hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation. Throughout Egypt hail struck everything in the fields–both men and animals; it beat down everything growing in the fields and stripped every tree. The only place it did not hail was the land of Goshen, where the Israelites were.” 

If the people in Egypt were alive now and they were able to tell you, they would let you know the hail that hit them did not come down with the term (this is only a metaphor)!  It is very clear the Lord used the weather to send down the hail. 

Read Psalm 18:12-13 “Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning. The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.”  

Now read Psalm 78:47-48, “He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore-figs with sleet. He gave over their cattle to the hail, their livestock to bolts of lightning.” 

What about Ezekiel 13: 11-13? “therefore tell those who cover it with whitewash that it is going to fall. Rain will come in torrents, and I will send hailstones hurtling down, and violent winds will burst forth. When the wall collapses, will people not ask you, "Where is the whitewash you covered it with?"  'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: In my wrath I will unleash a violent wind, and in my anger hailstones and torrents of rain will fall with destructive fury.” 

Check out what the Prophet Isaiah said in Isaiah 28:17 “I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line; hail will sweep away your refuge, the lie, and water will overflow your hiding place.”

Isaiah again in Isaiah. 30:30, “The LORD will cause men to hear his majestic voice and will make them see his arm coming down with raging anger and consuming fire, with cloudburst, thunderstorm and hail.”

Isaiah again from Isaiah 32:19.”Though hail flattens the forest and the city is leveled completely”.

I hope you also learn from Joshua 10:11 where we are told, "And it came about as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that the Lord threw large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died; there were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword." (Joshua 10:11)

Take note how God has dealt with those who opppse Him in the past and take careful notice what He tells you about the future. I now quote our Lord Jesus from Revelation 16:21. “From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.”

Go back and read the verses I quoted from and you will see a pattern of storms, winds, lightening, and hail stones falling on the unrighteous people.  Take heed to the words of Jesus in Mark 13:8 8 “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.” You also need to pay attention to Luke 21:25 and I will show you why. “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.

Jesus warned us we would see the roaring and tossing of the sea.  What moves the sea?  High winds from huge storms, hurricanes, and typhoons all cause the roaring and tossing of the sea. Has any of you noticed our weather is changing and becoming more violent?  This is only the beginning of things to come, the birth pains Jesus spoke to us about. During the tribulation the weather will become so violent you will see exactly what Jesus said in Revelation 16:21, the hailstones that reach almost 100 lbs each.  If you want to test Jesus on His word just refuse to receive Him as your Savior and find yourself left behind with the rest of the people who did not believe in the Lord, nor His Word, nor His warning to escape what is coming. How can you escape? Take the Lord’s free gift of salvation.  What about you? Do you believe?

  • A definition of Salvation
    1. Yasha (yaw-shah) S# 3467 – to be delivered, save; to get help; to deliver; give victory; to preserve. It is worth noting that the name of our Saviour, Jesus, is derived from this root. (Mt. 1:21)
    2. Soteria (so-tay-ree-ah) S# 4991 – Deliverance, preservation, salvation.
  • Promised
    Isa 45:17 17 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. (KJV)

    Here in Isaiah, we find that the Lord promised an "everlasting salvation" to Israel. Not only did he promise "everlasting salvation" to Israel, but also to you and I. For salvation is God's love action.
  • John 3:16 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (KJV)
  • God's Gift
    Before I continue further in this study of "salvation" I have one question to ask. What do we need salvation from? The answer: Sin and Death.
    Rom 6:23 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (KJV)

    God's salvation to us in truely a gift.
    Eph 2:8-9 8 For by
    grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. (KJV) Not only is salvation a "gift of God", but we are to boast, to rejoice in it.
  • Possible for Everyone
    This thing called "salvation: sounds "great, but is it possible for me? Yes, anyone can attain God's "salvation," and this is why:
    Rom 10:13 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (KJV)

    Call upon the very nature (His name) of God, who is merciful (Mic 7:18-19) and he will "save" us. We don't obtain salvation so we can be free from sin and death only to live for ourselves. No, but that we now live for Christ. (Gal 2:20)
    Titus 2:11-12 11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; (KJV)
  •  
    God's mercy that has brought us salvation has appeared to everyone. Instructing us to turn from "ungodliness and wordly lusts" and to "live soberly, righteously and godly." When we acquire God's "salvation" it should be evident to all. If your character is the same now as it was before you received God's "salvation" something is terribly wrong.
    2 Cor 13:5 5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? (KJV)
  • Only through Christ
    There is only one way to God's "salvation" and that is through Jesus Christ. If anyone tells you otherwise, they are liars. (1 Jn 4:2-3)
    Jesus is the only way!
    John 14:6 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (KJV)

    Acts 4:12 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (KJV)
    Our declaration to the world should be:
    Acts 15:11 11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. (KJV)

    http://www.theedgeam.com/perspectives/last_chronicles/index.htm

     A few days ago I received a email about a priest who gave a dog communion. In the article it was reported it was I called an “act of reaching out”. I am not going to put up the entire article because you need to read the report to understand what happen in its full context.  I will tell you that the report said there was a happy ending to what happen and it was pointed out that “one parishioner felt the church offended the sacred ritual and complained to the Anglican Diocese of Toronto. Bishop Patrick Yu, the area bishop of York-Scarborough responsible for St. Peter’s who received the complaint, called the act a “misguided gesture of welcoming.”

    I suppose the happy ending they refer to in this report is the following: “But Rea says she’s received a lot of support through phone calls, visits and emails. The incident, which thrust the 137-year-old downtown church into the spotlight, has even brought new people in, she says, pointing out that “Jesus is a positive person and Christianity is a positive religion.”

    The person who sent me the report made this comment to me. “Frank, Here is a follow up article from the Toronto Star newspaper.  Please review the comments and see how many people (Christians?) think this is no big deal.  It is a big deal!”

     Is this a big deal?  Let me give you the answer from the Word of God. What you are about to read comes from Paul the Apostle and it has to do with the last supper, and by all means it is a Prophecy Sign. 1 Corinthians 11:25-30 “In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”  For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.  Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.  Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.  For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.  That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.

    According to Jesus Christ this is a very big deal!  Jesus passed the bread and wine because He knew what He was about to do for all mankind, God was getting ready to pour out His own blood in order to keep you and I from going to hell. I am going to say something that many will not like to hear but it is truth!  If you think what happened is no big deal after you read the entire report, I doubt you are really walking in a real personal relationship with the Savior.   Let me ask all you people who claim you are Christians as question.  Please be honest with yourself.  What do you think the Apostle Paul would have done if he were sitting in that Church and saw the Priest give a dog Christ’s Holy Communion?  Do you think Paul would have said that so kind and cute?  Paul would have jumped out of his seat and stopped the service in its tracks. As I read the report I noticed that there was one person who complained but it was after the fact.  Are you telling me that there wasn’t one person in that Church who understood what Jesus told Paul to write concerning the last supper, and was willing to stand up for Christ and His sound doctrine.  There is no happy ending to this story and let me tell you why.  The report stated that because of what happened many new people are coming to this Church.  I for one would not want to attend a Church where people are afraid to stand up for Christ and have in my opinion watched Church leaders sweep what happened under the rug.

    Of course in these last days when many Churches around the world have fallen away from sound doctrine it won’t be a big deal to them as sound doctrine has been replaced with good feelings and a kind thing to do for an animal.  This is where it becomes a religion and not a personal relationship with the Savior Jesus Christ.  It I were the head Priest of this Church I would take one Sunday and teach the meaning of the last supper.  It is obvious the people attending St. Peters Church do not know the Word of God or, they just don’t care.

    Jesus told Paul what to write about the last supper and many are not taking what Jesus did serious.  Christ also gave a message to the Chruch of Laodicea in the Book of Revelation.  This is a picture of the last days Church.  If you choose to discount how important the communion is you better not discount what Jesus says to the Church living in the last days.

    Message to the Church at Laodicea

    "And to the angel (messenger) of the church of the Laodiceans write, 'These things says the Amen (Jesus Christ), the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth." ' " (Revelation 3:14-16).

     If you are attending this Church who didn’t make a big deal out of defiling Jesus Christ’s Holy Communion you better remember the Words spoken by Jesus in Revelation 3:14-16 because your Church has become part of the Church at Laodicea, but there is still hope for you and I again quote Jesus Christ. "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. " (Revelation 3:19-20).

    I am calling out to the Priest and all that attend St. Peter’s Anglican Church on Carlton St. to come home to Christ, repent from your Luke warmness and light again the fire for your Savior Jesus before He returns.

    My intention is not to punish you for what happened at your Church, but to help lead you back into the arms of Jesus. Let this be the time that you choose to use what has happened to rebuild your walk in Christ and to strengthen your relationship with our Father who is coming soon.

    Benjamin Netanyahu

    “Netanyahu: Palestinians are dodging direct Mideast peace talks”

    “Benjamin Netanyahu speaking during the weekly cabinet meeting at his Jerusalem office, July 25, 2010.”

    Palestinian President Abbas has conditioned a move to direct negotiations with guarantees regarding security, borders of a future Palestinian state.

    The Palestinian Authority is determined to sabotage attempts to upgrade the ongoing proximity Middle East peace talks with direct negotiations, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday, adding that direct talks were the only way to ensure Israel's security interests.

    Continuing previous efforts to encourage direct talks with Israel that took place during his stint as president of the European Union that ended one month ago, Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos will meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Amman this Tuesday.

    Abbas has recently indicated he will resist United States pressure for face-to-face peace talks with Israel for now, saying indirect negotiations must make progress first.

    The Palestinian president has said that he wants the indirect negotiations to produce results on the issues of the security and borders of a future Palestinian state to be founded alongside Israel on land captured in 1967.

    Speaking at the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Sunday, Netanyahu said that as far as Israel was concerned, "direct talks can commence as early as next week," adding that Israel had an "understanding with the Americans that we must move into direct negotiations immediately and without further delay."

    However, the prime minister claimed that the PA has responded to its invitation to direct talks with an "effort to evade this attempt."

    "If anyone had any doubts regarding the Palestinians' reluctance, it is now crystal clear," Netanyahu said, adding that the PA were "stalling direct talks and relying on the Arab League for support."

    The PM argued that while the Palestinians claim they are interested in moving peace talks forward, they in fact were using every excuse to delay any progress, saying that first "they said it was the [settlement] freeze, now it's the borders issue."

    “On the subject of the West Bank settlement construction freeze, the prime minister said he had not intention to extend the 10-month moratorium, saying "the slowdown was limited in time: It has not changed and that's how it will be."

    “Over the weekend, Abbas heard in turn from German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.”

    “IDF strikes 3 Gaza targets”

    Military says attack on arms factory, two smuggling tunnels, response to rockets, mortars fired at Israel over weekend

    Response to rockets: The Israel Air Force struck three targets in the Gaza Strip Sunday night including an arms factory in the northern Strip and two smuggling tunnels in the south.

    The military reported that precise hits were identified and all jets returned safely to their bases. There were no reports of injuries on the Palestinian side.

    The IDF Spokesperson's Unit said the assault came in response to the rockets and mortar shells fired at Israel over the weekend.

    On Saturday, Palestinians fired four rockets into southern Israel, causing no damage or injuries. One of the rockets, with a 115 millimeter diameter, appears to have been manufactured outside the Strip.

    "The IDF holds the Hamas terror organization solely responsible for the occurrences in the Gaza Strip and for maintaining calm there."

    Defense Minister Ehud Barak. 'If Hizbullah strikes, we hit Lebanon'”  “Barak issues warning against resuming rocket attacks from North.The IDF will attack Lebanese government institutions if Israel is again subjected to rocket attacks, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said in an interview with The Washington Post published Sunday. He told the newspaper that since the Lebanese goverment is allowing Hizbullah to rearm, "we will not run after each Hizbullah terrorist or launcher. . . . We will see it as legitimate to hit any target that belongs to the Lebanese state, not just to Hizbullah."  Ahead of his visit to Washington today, Barak drew attention to this issue as well as his views on the Iranian nuclear threat and the actions currently being taken by the international community. "There are differences about what could be done about it, how it should be done, and what [is] the timeframe within which certain steps could be taken," he told the newspaper.  The defense minister also reiterated his support for further sanctions against Iran, but said that there needs to be an awareness of the limitations. "It's still time for sanctions," he said, though he added that "probably, at a certain point, we should realize that sanctions cannot work." Addressing the peace process, Barak told The Washington Post that the government's will to move forward "is there. But, of course, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. We have to prove it in actions, in the negotiations."

    The head of the Islamic Movement in the Palestinian Territories Occupied in 1948 (Israel) has warned of a likely regional war in the Middle East that may lead to a third world war, through which Israel will seek to demolish Al-Aqsa Mosque.  According to Shaikh Raed Salah, the year 2010 is a fateful one for Al-Aqsa, in which he does not rule out the possibility that the Israeli occupation authorities may try to divide Al-Aqsa into different sections.

    “He called on "all honest people" to protect Al-Aqsa Mosque from the various Israeli plots to destroy the historic site. His detention, he said, is a marginal issue compared to that of Jerusalem.”

    Calling on Arab and Islamic nations to protect Al-Aqsa Mosque from the enemies of Islam, Shaikh Raed cited a possible regional war in which Israel will seek to demolish the mosque as the biggest threat ever faced by the sanctuary. Before entering the prison, the Shaikh said, "I'm not standing on the threshold of prison, but on the threshold of the eradication of the Israeli occupation."

    TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran expects the United States to launch a military strike on "at least two countries" in the Middle East in the next three months, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told state-run Press TV.

    In an interview recorded on Monday, Ahmadinejad did not specify whether he thought Iran itself would be attacked nor did he say what intelligence led him to expect such a move.

    The United States and Israel have refused to rule out military action against Iran's nuclear program which they fear could lead to it making a bomb, something Iran denies.

    "They have decided to attack at least two countries in the region in the next three months," Ahmadinejad said in excerpts broadcast on the rolling news channel on Tuesday.

    Israel, which refuses to confirm or deny the existence of its own nuclear arsenal, has a history of pre-emptive strikes against suspected nuclear targets. In 1981 it destroyed Iraq's only nuclear reactor and in 2007 bombed a suspect site in Syria.

     Prime Minister David Cameron on Tuesday urged Israel to lift its blockade of the Gaza Strip, slamming the current state of the Palestinian enclave as a "prison camp."

    "Let me be clear that the situation in Gaza has to change… Gaza cannot and must not be allowed to remain a prison camp," he said in a speech to a business association during a visit to Turkey.

    Speaking later after talks with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Cameron defended his harsh description, saying that "even though some progress has been made we're still in a situation where it's very difficult to get in, it's very difficult to get out…

    Birds of pray from Ezekiel 39:17-18” Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Call out to every kind of bird and all the wild animals: 'Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrifice I am preparing for you, the great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood. You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as if they were rams and lambs, goats and bulls–all of them fattened animals from Bashan.”

    Why contactless payment paves the way for a cashless society

    Jul 19, 2010

    Stuart Neal, head of UK payment acceptance at Barclaycard speaks about developments in the payments industry.

    Whilst we’re all familiar with chip and pin, another payment technology has been growing in popularity. It is estimated that over 9.6 million[1] contactless-capable cards have been issued by card providers in the UK, so around one in six cardholders already have a card that doesn’t require a pin to be entered for transactions under £15, simply a flash of a card on a reader.  
    A recent report from analysts, Datamonitor, has reignited the debate as to whether widespread use of contactless payment is just around the corner or some way off. Datamonitor has come down firmly on the side of ‘some way off’, arguing that until there is demand from consumers, retailers will not make the investment to go contactless.
    Barclaycard and Barclays have taken a lead on contactless because we fundamentally believe that it, and the cashless society it heralds, is the future. Furthermore, contrary to Datamonitor’s report we believe that future is closer than they anticipate.
    Forward thinking retailers such as EAT. and Prêt a Manger are already reaping the rewards: contactless credit and debit card terminals eliminate the need for cash for even small transactions, enabling retailers to speed up sales at the tills and to avoid the hassle of handling large quantities of money.

    Barclaycard, along with Barclays, have 25,000 contactless terminals live and accepting payment across the country.
    Nor are consumers being left behind. The Payments Council recently predicted that cash payments would account for fewer than half of all transactions within just five years, with consumers increasing the amount consumers spend with cards fourfold in the last decade[2].

    Indeed, for retailers and consumers alike, cash is increasingly becoming more of a burden than a straightforward form of payment. The cost to retailers of processing it is huge, queues become uncontrollable as customers fumble for change in shops, and having to remember to get cash out from an ATM just becomes another thing to think about in consumers’ busy lives.
    In response to the need for an easy and innovative replacement to cash, contactless payment in the UK has taken off in the past three years for low value purchases. Since September 2007, Barclays and Barclaycard have issued over eight million contactless-enabled cards, allowing customers to make transactions quicker and more easily.  As a result of the ease of payment, 61% of users find it preferable to using cash.[3]
    Some retailers may worry that contactless could cost them more than cash. However, considering the hidden costs borne by retailers in handling, storing and banking cash, contactless could well prove a cheaper option overall. Smaller retailers will receive contactless capability automatically when their card reading hardware is periodically replaced. Large retailers will need upgraded terminals and software, but this can be done during a standard replacement or upgrade cycle, and nearly all EPoS software supports contactless.
    Recently, we have seen other card providers begin to join Barclays and Barclaycard in providing a contactless service. In America, Canada and Australia, contactless is already used extensively, boosted by a transaction limit of $50.
    Contactless is increasingly being seen as a way to cement relationships with customers and provide ownership of the customer journey – whether that is providing point-to-point in travel or over the course of several days at a festival.

    Contactless has become widespread in Europe, with Italy and Turkey in the process of adapting their transport networks to accept contactless payment. In the UK, the system is rapidly growing in popularity with key retailers having announced their commitment to quicker queues and slicker transactions, and with a number of music festivals, such as Wireless, trailing the use of contactless technology.
    Contactless speeds up transactions as it does not require a customer to enter a PIN or enter their card into a payment terminal. Once the card has been placed over the contactless terminal, the transaction uses secure technology to automatically add the purchase to the customer’s credit card bill or debit it from their current account.
    As with all credit and debit cards, security is of paramount concern and as a result, contactless uses tried and tested, reliable payment technology. In addition, there is a £15 limit on single transactions and a card can only be used on multiple transactions using solely contactless payment a certain number of times before a customer is prompted for their PIN.

    In the unlikely event of fraud, contactless debit and credit transactions benefit from the same 100% fraud guarantee as standard transactions.
    Whilst the chip is currently inserted into cards, it is intended that by 2012 contactless mobile phones will be widely available allowing consumers to not only make purchases with greater ease but also keep a close eye on what they are spending through their phone.

    Barclays and Barclaycard anticipate that in the next two years use of contactless payments systems will become widespread across multiple sectors.
    Contactless is growing fast, with many credit and debit card providers issuing contactless-enabled cards as standard when a card comes up for renewal. The reality is that consumers are choosing not to use cash; that soon for more than half of purchases, cards will be used instead.

    This provides a golden opportunity for retailers as it allows them to take advantage of innovative technology to provide customers with the smooth service they demand as it reduces costs. With 26,000 live terminals, contactless has grown quickly and the speed of that growth is increasing.

    What’s more, contactless is set to play a key role in mobile banking, which, with its customer-centric focus, is the future.
    Few technological developments are adopted by consumers as quickly as analysts would like, but contactless does now have momentum. Customers are increasingly aware as a result of successful marketing campaigns and larger retailers are beginning to take the plunge, having realised the hidden cost of spare change.

    Barclaycard looks forward to others joining it in the cashless, contactless revolution, which is just around the corner.

    EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – Brussels is to hold an EU summit with atheists and freemasons in the autumn, inviting them to a political dialogue parallel to the annual summit the bloc holds with Europe's religious leaders.

    While the EU is a secular body, the three European presidents, of the commission, parliament and EU Council, alongside two commissioners, on Monday met with 24 bishops, chief rabbis, and muftis as well as leaders from the Hindu and Sikh communities. The annual dialogue, which has taken place since 2005, is for the first time this year made legally obligatory under Article 17 of the Lisbon Treaty. Under pressure from Belgium, the EU has been forced to hold a summit for atheists, scheduled for 15 October. Under pressure from Belgium, which constitutionally protects and financially supports humanist organizations as well as churches, the EU has been forced to hold a mirror-image summit, but of atheists, scheduled for 15 October.

    Prophecy Sign: Matthew 24:7 Diseases.

    In the midst of what could be the largest whooping cough outbreak in more than 50 years — and the death of six infants under 3 months of age — California health officials are recommending booster shots for nearly everyone in the state, especially health care workers, parents and anyone who may come in contact with babies.

    Nearly 1,500 Californians this year have been diagnosed with whooping cough — five times the normal level for this time of year, state health officials say. Doctors are investigating another 700 possible cases. Many more may have had the infection, which often goes undiagnosed or unreported.

    Weekly No. of people taken to hospitals for heat stroke tops 9,000+

    TOKYO, July 27 (AP) – (Kyodo)—A total of 9,436 people were taken to hospitals for heat stroke in the week through Sunday and 57 of them were confirmed dead in the first medical examination as temperatures continued to soar across the country, according to data compiled Monday by the Fire and Disaster Management Agency.

    The number of deaths is unprecedentedly high as it came to 47 in July and August combined in 2008 and 16 in the two months last year, said the agency which began compiling data in 2008.

    Bro. Frank,
    In regard to your recent posting of Pres. Obama secretly attempting to illegally influence the political activities of a sovereign nation (Kenya-referendum) I have attached a copy of the Memorandum of Agreement that you mentioned that Odinga agreed to. This was sent to me by a Pastor in Kenya while the election violence was in progress back in 2007. I have been advised that intertribal clashes have begun in various parts of the country regarding this election. The attached memo was represented to me to be the one signed by Odinga so the Muslims would support his candidacy.
    You can see from this memo what Odingas' agenda is and why Obama, with his Islamic tendencies is supporting this referendum. Please pray for the defeat of this referendum. Kenya is still considered to be a predominately Christian nation, but Islam is growing in strength in the Eastern and coastal parts of the country. Thanks again for the books you provided to the Pastors in Kenya.
    Surely the Lord has spoken to me, "whatever you do, do quickly". His return is so very near.
    Tim M.

    In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

    All praise to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds.

    The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

    The master of the Day of Judgment.

    Thee (alone) we worship, of Thee (alone) we seek help.

    Show us the straight path.

    The path of those whom Thou hast favored;

    Not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray

      IMG_0668Prophecy Sign: Revelation chapter 17 we find the woman riding on the beast. The woman in the false Church who will be riding with the Antichrist during the seven year tribulation.

    And what a gathering! As an observer to the 2010, G8 World Religions Summit (WRS), I listened as the opening ceremonies set the tone for this remarkable event. The Secretary General of the WRS, Dr. James Christie – the Dean of Theology at the University of Winnipeg – welcomed us as religious equals, stating that what was important was that we "offer our service, and ourselves, and our lives" to the "God we know by so many names."[i]

    This multi-faith perspective was evident in full color; Hindu swamis in flowing orange attire, members of the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs dressed in desert garb, Jewish yamakas, cross pendants and clerical collars, Shinto robes, Orthodox priests in black, Salvation Army uniforms, and Baha'i leaders and evangelical Christians in business suits. Religions from every corner of the planet were represented. Even so, very few people have heard about the G8 World Religions Summit, held in Winnipeg, Manitoba from June 21-23.

    Compared to the G8/G20 political summits occurring days later in Toronto and Huntsville, Ontario, the WRS – the official religious parallel – was an ultra-tame affair. The security budget for the Winnipeg event was zero; nobody burnt any cars, and no windows were smashed. The only "protestors" were a group of Mennonites who, a few days before the Summit began, sang songs of support at a downtown park.[ii] In fact, many of the international participants had "never heard of Winnipeg" before.[iii]

    Nevertheless, what occurred in Winnipeg will likely have a far more real impact at the local level than what transpired in Toronto. Why do I say this? Because of the direct lines of influence that radiate from the World Religions Summit right down to individual bodies. It's a top-down strategy ensuring that religious people will fall in line with an emerging global framework – a type of world theology along with an international system of socialism. And it's going to work, particularly in the Christian community.

      “Syria “The Sins of Damascus”

    “Syria foments war, creates the Syria-Lebanon-Iran-Turkey anti-Israel axis, and is rewarded for these efforts by those among us who are willing to give her the Golan Heights. But"the four sins of Damascus are unforgivable" said the prophet Amos (1,3)

    The atmosphere in our area is heating up and the smell of war is in the air.  Reports of  long range rockets sent to Syria from Iran are only part of the story. 

    Alongside Iran, Hizbullah, Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, the real kingpin of the axis of evil is Syria.  Syria is at the apex of planning, encouraging and abetting constant tension, as well as acting as coordinator of all the aggressors in the anti Israel coalition.

    The proof of the pudding came when at the end of February, Syrian president Bashar Assad called for a summit in Damascus, to which he invited and then welcomed Iranian President Ahmadenijad and Hizbullah head Hassan Narallah.

    Syria’s political and military terror dossier is filled to overflowing. In the 1930’s Damascus organized an armed invasion against the struggling Jewish return to the land.  In 1948 the Syrian army attacked Israel. From the 1950’s until the Six Day War there were non stop artillery bombardments and terrorist attacks from the Syrian held Golan heights to the kibbutzim in the valleys below. “

    “Syria is at the forefront of the strategic transformation that has formed against Israel over the last few years. In the past, Lebanon, Iran and Turkey were friendly or passive towards Israel, but today, all three are on the front line of the anti Israel campaign and their hostile stand has caused Israel  political and strategic damage, as the country is now surrounded by a tightening, ever widening ring of hatred.”

      Prophecy Sign: No mention of the USA at all in the Book of Daniel.  We can see why, because the US is falling away as any kind of last days power. One of the signs showing us the US collapse is coming is the number of banks that are failing.  Now we are up to 103.  Soon you will see the dollar slide even more, and than many nations will begin to take China’s lead and dump the dollar for another reserve currency.

    US regulators have closed seven more banks, pushing the 2010 total to 103, making it the second year in a row in which over 100 lenders have been closed.

    The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) announced Friday it has closed seven small banks with the largest, Crescent Bank and Trust, having about $1.01 billion in total assets and $965.7 million in total deposits, Reuters reported.

    Keep on the watch with me and you will see how many more banks are closed.  There is no doubt time is running out for the US and in the past when things have gotten bad what happens?  War breaks out, and this is what you will see happen in the near future.

    Prophecy Sign: Rise of the last world empire. America's decline will help give rise to this empire.

    LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — A top Chinese central bank official suggested switching away from the U.S. dollar as a benchmark for the yuan's foreign-exchange rate, switching instead to a basket of currencies, according to remarks published Thursday.

    is Thailand a good place for investment?

    Stock Exchange of Thailand President Charamporn Jotikasthira shares his views on the difficulties of selling Thailand as a destination for equity investment after recent political violence.

    In comments posted to the People's Bank of China Web site, the central bank's Deputy Gov. Hu Xiaolian said using a basket of currencies from the nation's top trading partners would allow the Chinese yuan to better reflect trading fundamentals.

    "Compared with pegging to a single currency, the exchange-rate regime with reference to a basket of currencies will help adjust exports and imports, current account, and balance of payment in a more effective manner," she said.

    China's central bank currently sets a "central parity rate" against the U.S. dollar each day, with that day's trading range confined to 0.5% above or below that level. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/china-may-link-yuan-trade-to-currency-basket-2010-07-23

    Rev. 9:21 shows us this last generation would be a drug generation.  "V.A. Easing Rules for Users of Medical Marijuana"

    Under department rules, veterans can be denied pain medications if they are found to be using illegal drugs. Until now, the department had no written exception for medical marijuana.

    This has led many patients to distrust their doctors, veterans say. With doctors and patients pressing the veterans department for formal guidance, agency officials began drafting a policy last fall.

    “When states start legalizing marijuana we are put in a bit of a unique position because as a federal agency, we are beholden to federal law,” said Dr. Robert Jesse, the principal deputy under secretary for health in the veterans department.

    At the same time, Dr. Jesse said, “We didn’t want patients who were legally using marijuana to be administratively denied access to pain management programs.”

    The new, written policy applies only to veterans using medical marijuana in states where it is legal. Doctors may still modify a veteran’s treatment plan if the veteran is using marijuana, or decide not to prescribe pain medicine altogether if there is a risk of a drug interaction. But that decision will be made on a case-by-case basis, not as blanket policy, Dr. Jesse said.

    Dengue fever has infected a handful of people in Central Florida, health officials said.

    “This is not a regular flu virus that you get, you feel a lot worse,” said Dr. Todd Husty.

    “You get a real great fever, a horrible fever; it's called ‘break bone fever.’ You feel like your bones are breaking, but it's really joint pain,” Husty said.

    Health officials said more than a dozen people have picked up the virus from Mosquitoes in the Keys.

    More than 30 more across the state of Florida have the fever after picking it up out of the country.

    I know you've already read the following report but you should read it again.  http://www.haaretz.com/news/abbas-urges-obama-to-impose-mideast-peace-solution-1.284794  

    The following statement from this article is key, "Abbas' appeal to Obama came amid widespread media reports that the U.S. president was considering floating a proposal that would set the contours of a final peace deal."  This is where we need to read between the lines a little bit but before I do that let me make another statement first.

    Whatever peace agreement is "agreed" to (imposed???) is going to come from no one other than Obama (goodbye United States) but won't be ratified or confirmed until the Antichrist puts his stamp of approval or signature on it which we already know he is going to do.   This is a really big deal and Obama hasn't a CLUE what he is about to do!  Now let's read between the lines.  According to the scriptures, the Israelis are going to finally be allowed to build their Temple on the Temple Mount which means that this peace agreement that is going to be presented is also going to include a bold sacrifice on the Palestinians part which will be that they will have to share the Temple Mount with Israel.  We know this is going to happen because it says so in Rev 11:1-2.  “And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.”

    The following statement from this article is key, "Abbas' appeal to Obama came amid widespread media reports that the U.S. president was considering floating a proposal that would set the contours of a final peace deal."  This is where we need to read between the lines a little bit but before I do that let me make another statement first.  Whatever peace agreement is "agreed" to (imposed???) is going to come from no one other than Obama (goodbye United States) but won't be ratified or confirmed until the Antichrist puts his stamp of approval or signature on it which we already know he is going to do.   This is a really big deal and Obama hasn't a CLUE what he is about to do!  Now let's read between the lines.  According to the scriptures, the Israelis are going to finally be allowed to build their Temple on the Temple Mount which means that this peace agreement that is going to be presented is also going to include a BOLD sacrifice on the Palestinians part which will be that they will have to share the Temple Mount with Israel.  We know this is going to happen because it says so in Rev 11:1,2. 

    Now this is where it starts getting exciting!  There has been much discussion (for decades) as to where the third Temple will be built.  I was looking at an aerial view of the Temple Mount that was put out by the Temple Institute (T.I.) the other day, and in the photo it showed the Dome of the Rock and a short distance away from that is also showed the Islamic Mosque where all the trouble has been taking place lately. 

     

    Photo of Temple Mount.

    Here is an aerial photo of the Temple Mount as it will probably look after the Temple is rebuilt.

     

    According to Ezekiel a building that belongs to the Gentiles will be sitting right next to the rebuilt Temple.  If you go through the information on this page you will learn that the Dome of the Rock does not have to be removed for this to take place.  If the Antichrist were to say tomorrow that they can go ahead and build their Jewish Temple then they could start tomorrow.  I think this is a very good possibility.

    You and I both know that this isn't guesswork when it comes to the contents of any future peace agreement because it's in the scriptures.  This is what I envision happening in the near future.  A peace agreement at this time looks like one could be imposed by Obama and this agreement will state that Jerusalem will be shared by both the Israelis and Palestinians with the understanding that since they will both have to share Jerusalem as their respective capitals they will also have to share the Temple Mount.  This won't bother the Israelis at all but I am pretty sure the Palestinians will hate it.   "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”  I'm not so sure that permission to rebuild the Temple would be included in any peace agreement that Obama or anybody else draws up.  I think that might be something the Antichrist will add to the agreement when he confirms it – or strengthens it.  Since the intention of the Antichrist is to allow the building of the Temple so he can take his place in it at the appropriate time – abomination of desolation – it will probably be he who tells them to go ahead and build it.  I believe there is enough scripture showing the Church won't be here to find out so there's no sense of me dwelling on this.   I do know this for sure.  More and more news about the peace talks and the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple are coming out of Israel.  In a past a few days ago I showed you 3 new reports on how the Jews feel about rebuilding that Temple. 

    Since 1977 I warned that the Ezekiel war found in Ezekiel chapter 38 would take place just prior to the start of the seven year tribulation. I have always believed that right after this war the Antichrist will confirm a covenant with Israel and the many nations. When I released my prophecy book back in 1997 I gave my reasons why I believed the war would be prior to the start of the tribulation and would in my opinion based on scripture would no doubt kick off the seven year tribulation.   Many teachers used to believe that this war would take place after the tribulation begins but as of late many are changing their minds. 

    I received a email this evening where a Christian Brother of mine said the following:

    “My brother and I got into a discussion about end times events tonight and I shared some videos with him and it really set me behind again.  It's now 11:30 so I'm going to cut this short.  Before I end this I want to share something really cool with you.  Last night I watched the Prophecy In The News program as I do every night and I absolutely could not believe my ears.  JR Church is having cancer treatments and has been off the air for quite a while now so Gary has taken  over for him.  In last nights broadcast I learned that Gary Stearman has changed his view on when the Ezekiel battle may take place and has switched his view from taking place 3 1/2 years before the Tribulation (because of the fact that Israel will burn weapons for 7 years and when the abomination of desolation takes place the Jews are to run and not take anything with them which he assumed would have to mean that they would have had to start burning them earlier) and is now saying that he thinks it might be when the rider on the red horse rides.  I couldn't believe it.  When I sent him and JR my revelation letter and later on my Ezekiel letter talking about the wood burning they were still of the opinion that there had to be 3 1/2 years from the start of the weapons burning and the beginning of the Tribulation (and I'm still sticking to my guns that this war will take place during the sixth seal).  The cool part isn't that they have taken the same view as I have on this war (and I know beyond a doubt that nothing I've written them has affected their thinking in any way) but the cool part about it is that there are so many signs that the Tribulation is about to start that they have also made up their minds that it is out of the question that it would take another 3 1/2 years or longer (the war hasn't started yet) for the Tribulation to begin.  The Body of Christ (at least those of us who are watching) knows the time is near because the Holy Spirit is telling us it's near through the signs (great earthquakes, famines, etc).  Hal Lindsay has taken on a new tone in the last couple of months with more urgency when he talks about the eminency of the Rapture and how close it is.  When he talks about it you can't help but hear the Holy Spirit speaking through him.  Those of us who are watching are getting more excited by the day.  How can we not get even more excited when there are 6 great earthquakes in 2 hours (right?) and all the other signs shouting at us from every direction.”

      

    What does all this information tell us?  We need to keep a close eye on the events taking place in Jerusalem.  We need to keep a close look at what is happening with the stalled peace talks, and we need to keep a close look at how the nations in the Ezekiel war are lining up. Major events are about to happen and I don’t want anything to come to you as a surprise.  Jerusalem is the key to the events that are about to unfold before us.

    Once again I want to keep you up-to-date on Silvio Berlusconi. We are seeing him jump into the mix again concerning the Middle East peace talks. Read the news report about this below then read why I am keeping my eye on him.

    Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi telephoned Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas Saturday to discuss the situation of proximity talks between Israel and the Palestinians, Israel Radio reported Saturday.
    Berlusconi said at a press conference with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev Friday that the two sides need to move direct negotiations as soon as possible.

    Remember that I said God told Daniel that the Antichrist would subdue three of the ten kings when he had risen to power in the last days. You noticed I also mentioned Silvio Berlusconi’s name before as one man in the EU who hates the gang of three. You will understand the importance of this, but first let me show you what the Word of God says about the Antichrist. Do you want to know who the Antichrist is? Just keep you eyes on the news and follow the Word of God. When you hear or see a man sign a seven year peace agreement with Israel, that is the man God said would be the man of sin, or Antichrist. I cover this subject in detail in Chapter 9. Jesus gave us signs of what the Antichrist would be like.. In 2 Thessalonians 2:4 it states, "He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God" (NIV).  We know from Revelation chapter 17 that the false church will sit on the beast (Antichrist) in Rome. This means that the Antichrist will come from Rome, which is in Italy. Daniel saw all the kingdoms from his time all the way to the last kingdom, which he warned would be the reborn Roman Empire. The European Union is that reborn Roman Empire, and Italy has been a major player in the EU since it started. One of the major signs of the end times is the rebirth of the Roman Empire so watching the signs concerning the political climate within the EU should be taken with special interest. Right now you should pay special attention to Silvio Berlusconi, and you will see why. In April of 2008 Berlusconi was reelected as the Prime Minister of Italy. Why is this so important?  Jesus said when the man of sin (Antichrist) comes, he would exalt himself. Let me give you some quotes Berlusconi has stated about himself. Here they are:  1. "I am the Jesus Christ of Politics. I am a patient victim, I put up with everyone, I sacrifice myself for everyone.” 2. “The best political leader in Europe and in the world…” 3. “There is no-one on the world stage who can compete with me" (BBC News May 2, 2006). 4. In the Guardian report Jan. 18, 2004, they reported that Berlusconi calls himself 'monarchist' which means (he being the king). Now let me ask you a question. Does this sound like the warning Jesus gave us about the personality of the Antichrist?  You bet it does, but there is more.  “All hail Berlusconi” is the title to a report on Berlusconi by the Guardian news. A writer for the Guardian news profiles Berlusconi like this, "Silvio Berlusconi, a Roman emperor for the 21st century” and the writer informs us that Berlusconi describes “himself as ‘the anointed one’ from time to time” (Ibid). As of June 2009, Berlusconi is still exalting himself. I quote from a Reuters report, “Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who has compared himself to Jesus Christ and Napoleon, boasted on Friday that he was the world's most popular leader.” Berlusconi said, ‘The opinion polls I know say that he (Obama) is at 59 percent. Only (Brazilian President Luiz Inacio) Lula tops 60 percent — he is at 64 percent. So mine is a record high,’ he told reporters in Naples where he attended a May Day concert” (May 1, 2009). “Italy's first lady, Veronica Lario, said Sunday she has hired an attorney to begin divorce proceedings against Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, citing his flirtations with other women. ‘I was forced to take this step,’ Lario, a former actress told an Italian newspaper.” For years Berlusconi’s wife has put up with his relationships with other women until the news broke that Silvio had been seeing an 18 year old. “Reports of Silvio Berlusconi attending an 18-year-old woman's birthday party proved too much for the missus, and the BBC says Veronica Lario will file for divorce from the faux pas-ridden Italian PM. ‘That's enough,’ Lario said in Italian reports. ‘I cannot remain with a man who consorts with minors.’ She has previously slammed his flirtatious ways, and he publicly apologized to her 2 years ago” (Ibid). I find this very interesting because Daniel 11:37 tells us the Antichrist will have no regard for women. He will treat women with no respect, and he won’t care whether he hurts them or not. Like I said, everything Berlusconi is doing is running parallel with all of the Antichrist Scriptures.

    In the book of Daniel 11:36 God told Daniel what the man of sin would be like. “And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished”. The BBC on July 8, 2008 wrote about Berlusconi and was describing him. I quote, “It refers to the Italian prime minister as a man “hated by many but respected by all at least for his bella figura (person style) and the sheer force of his will”. This is the exact way God described the Antichrist to Daniel. Daniel 11:36 also says he would prosper till his end. Berlusconi has been prospering for some time. He is one of the richest people in the world. The BBC News May 3, 2009 stated, “The Italian prime ministers’s private fortune is estimated by Forbes magazine at $ 6.5 bn”. Look who Macleans Magizine out of Canada chose to put on their front cover of their August issue? The front cover reads, “Silvio Berlusconi The Most Interesting Man In The World”. The cover also says, “Italy’s prime minister has wealth, power, women and no end of scandals” (Aug. 17, 2009). As you can see, the cover of Macleans points out the very things God warned us about the Antichrist in Daniel chapter 11.

    It will get very interesting if Berlusconi take a lead role in the talks again.  He has a good relationship with the PLO and Israel.  I said this before and I will repeat it now.  Any time someone stars to fulfill the signs written about the Antichrist that is when my red flag goes up.  Keep in mind, Berlusconi is from Italy which is part of the revived Western part of the old Roman Empire.  Daniel warns the Antichrist will come from a revived Roman Empire. This is getting pretty interesting.  I am also keeping my eyes on the Eastern leg of the old Roman Empire because the man of sin could also rise quickly form this leg if it turns out Berlusconi drops away from the peace talks.

    Prophecy Sign: Revelation 16:8 “The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire.” Revelation 7: 16 “Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.” Mark 13:8 “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.”

     

    TOMS RIVER, N.J. – Another wave of oppressive heat clamped down on a broad swath of Eastern states on Saturday, with temperatures in the high 90s and 100s and residents scrambling for shade or just staying indoors.

    In the Mid-Atlantic, already the locus for brutal temperatures several times in July, weather experts warned of the dangerous conditions and residents resigned themselves to coping with the discomfort.

    "Oh, it's disgusting. It's already really hot," meteorologist Heather Sheffield of the National Weather Service said of morning temperatures in Washington, D.C.

    Prophecy Sign: Luke 21:11 Jesus warns us to keep on the watch for “great earthquakes”. In many of my previous posts I have warned you huge quakes would begin to strike. These current quakes hitting 6.8 to 7.1 are the forerunner to the great quakes Jesus talked about.  Because Jesus told us these signs would happen as a women in birth pains I am warning you the bigger quakes can not be far off. Read Mark 13:8.

    After you read the report below take a look at all the earthquakes that have hit in the past week. Notice how many major earthquakes have hit! This week alone there were 11 major earthquakes.  I have prayed about the coming quakes and based on what the Lord has shown me in His word I have taken action to get ready for the major quake that is going to hit California. As for me, I got earthquake earthquake insurance, but to tell you the truth, I am not sure the insurance companies will be able to help when this major quake hits the West Coast! The real insurance is to go before the Lord. I am asking my Lord to protect my home. If you live in California and are a child of Jesus Christ, I suggest you pray and fast, and ask Jesus to keep your home from shaking when it hits. What a message Jesus would send to an unbelieving world when they see the Christian homes have a solid foundation not shaken from world events.  Is this possible?  Nothing is impossible with the Lord.

    3 earthquakes hit southern Philippines, but too deep to cause any damage or tsunami

     Three major undersea earthquakes struck the southern Philippines within minutes of each other early Saturday, but the temblors were too deep to cause any damage.

    A magnitude 6.8 tremor shook the Moro Gulf off the island of Mindanao at 6:08 a.m. (2208 GMT Friday). It was centered about 60 miles (95 kilometers) southwest of Cotabato city at a depth of 380 miles (607 kilometers), the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said.

    A stronger 7.1 magnitude quake hit the same general location at roughly the same depth at 6:51 a.m. (2251 GMT Friday), followed at 7:15 a.m. (2315 GMT Friday) by a third, also of the same magnitude, the institute said.

    I think this is the real reason for the moratorium on stopping deep oil drilling in the Gulf.  As this oil and gas continues to pour into the Gulf from the real source of the oil leak then the air will become even more toxic than it really is.  I think this is why they want everybody out of the Gulf waters.  It does seem awful suspicious that after all that oil just gushed out of that pipe for the last 3 months that BP puts a cap on it and all of a sudden things are back to normal except for the cleanup.  I think it's clear that they want the focus to be on the cap they just put on instead of where the main source of the leak is really located.

    See full size image Prophecy Sign: Matthew 24:9 “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.”  Just yesterday I warned you about the Christian Persecution that Jesus warned us about. Take a look at the news today.

    Arizona school children are told they can't pray in front of the Supreme Court building … Two University of Texas Arlington employees are fired for praying over a co-worker's cubicle after work hours … In Cranston, R.I., a high school banner causes controversy when a parent complains it contains a prayer and demands that it be removed.

    There are more legal challenges to prayer in the United States than ever before, says Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-founder of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, an atheist organization whose business is booming as Americans increasingly tackle church vs. state issues.

    "We've never had more complaints about government prayer," Gaylor says. "We have just hired a second staff attorney in July. It's turned into a cottage industry for our attorneys."

    The foundation has had a huge volume of complaints about prayer in the public sector, including numerous issues involving civic and government meetings where sessions have traditionally begun with a prayer or moment of silence.

    In Augusta, Ga., the city's law department just issued a legal opinion defending the city's practice of a pre-meeting prayer, saying it does not violate federal law. The statement was in response to the Freedom From Religion Foundation's letter to the mayor's office urging him to stop the invocations at the start of meetings. The foundation sent similar letters to three cities in South Carolina.

    After reading this report one could ask, is this still the good old United States of America the land of the free?  Satan is turning what once was a land centered on Christ into a land that looks more like Sodom and Gomorrah.

    Sorry the post is short today but something very important came up. See you on Monday if God's wills.

    Prophecy Sign: 1 Thess. 5:3 the call for Peace and safety and then the sudden destruction.

    Could a Middle East peace pact between the PLO and Israel be put in place in order to have a strike on Iran?  Read this portion of the article and pay close attention to the news in red.

    “While Lynch is basically correct about the positive effects of Obama's diplomacy, the other part of his argument "that Iran may continue to doggedly pursue its nuclear program" suggests that the Americans have not been able to achieve their most important strategic goal here and that they may have concluded that notwithstanding all of Obama's popularity in the Middle East, a nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran could alter and balance of power once again and turn it into a indisputable regional power. I think that Obama and his aides are calculating that the costs of "doing something" about Iran's nuclear program would not be so high as to outweigh the costs of allowing Iran to go nuclear which could undermine whatever is left of American credibility as a global power in the Middle East.

    But I also think that Obama wants to get Bibi to do something substantial — if not dramatic — on the Israel-Palestine front before a decision is made to attack Iran. In theory, the growing likelihood that the more moderate Kadima Party would join the Israeli coalition could allow Netanyahu to move in that direction and could bring about an accord between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) on the West Bank in a way that responds to the concerns of Saudi Arabia and other Arab moderate states who have implied that under such conditions – progress on Israel-Palestine — they could live with a strike against Iran.

    At the same time, the anticipated Republican victories in the coming midterm elections — increasing the number of pro-Israeli and anti-"Islamofascist" lawmakers — could actually help strengthen Obama's ability of effectively manage the diplomatic and military (and economic) consequences of a strike against Iran. In a way, notwithstanding all the talk about the rise of anti-war Republicans, the "triangulation" of Obama after the November election could encourage him to take up the mantle of a War President, which based on his predecessor's experience, could help him another term in office (even if his own party continues to lose power). In any case, as the evolution of his Afghanistan policies has demonstrated, Obama seems to lack the power and the will to resist the pressure from the War Party in Washington and has probably concluded that if you cannot beat them, joining them is the next best option.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/leon-t-hadar/is-obama-set-on-an-iran-s_b_656226.html

    Prophecy Sign: Revelation 16:8 “The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire.” Revelation 7: 16 “Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.” Mark 13:8 “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.”

     

    MOSCOW, July 22 (Reuters) – Moscow sweltered through its hottest day in almost 30 years on Thursday, a leading forecaster said, as a heatwave that has destroyed Russian crops over an area the size of Portugal showed no sign of abating. Temperatures in the capital hit 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) for the first time since 1981, said the Fobos weather forecasting centre, which provides weather data for the country's top media outlets.” “Moscow's all-time high of 36.6 degrees Celsius, registered in 1936, could be broken on Saturday, state TV news channel Rossiya-24 reported. It said temperatures could hit 40 by the end of the week.”  40 degrees Celsius = 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

    “Russia has experienced higher than average temperatures since late June, with central parts of European Russia, the Volga region, southern Urals and Siberia affected. The Russian Grain Union, an industry lobby, said the drought was Russia's worst in 130 years and had already shriveled grain on 9 million hectares — an area the size of Portugal and about one fifth of the total area sown for this year's harvest. The drought is forcing Russia and neighboring Ukraine and Kazakhstan to cut their grain production targets, officials said.”

This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666.”   Daniel 12:4 “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”

    “Wal-Mart Stores Inc. plans to roll out sophisticated electronic ID tags to track individual pairs of jeans and underwear, the first step in a system that advocates say better controls inventory but some critics say raises privacy concerns. Starting next month, the retailer will place removable "smart tags" on individual garments that can be read by a hand-held scanner. Wal-Mart workers will be able to quickly learn, for instance, which size of Wrangler jeans is missing, with the aim of ensuring shelves are optimally stocked and inventory tightly watched. If successful, the radio-frequency ID tags will be rolled out on other products at Wal-Mart's more than 3,750 U.S. stores.”

    “But the company's latest attempt to use its influence—executives call it the start of a "next-generation Wal-Mart"—has privacy advocates raising questions.

    While the tags can be removed from clothing and packages, they can't be turned off, and they are trackable. Some privacy advocates hypothesize that unscrupulous marketers or criminals will be able to drive by consumers' homes and scan their garbage to discover what they have recently bought.

    They also worry that retailers will be able to scan customers who carry new types of personal ID cards as they walk through a store, without their knowledge. Several states, including Washington and New York, have begun issuing enhanced driver's licenses that contain radio- frequency tags with unique ID numbers, to make border crossings easier for frequent travelers. Some privacy advocates contend that retailers could theoretically scan people with such licenses as they make purchases, combine the info with their credit card data, and then know the person's identity the next time they stepped into the store.”

     Has search and advertising giant Google been tracking you just to sell you stuff — or is it because the U.S. government asked it to? A congressional hearing Thursday may have raised more questions than answers.

    Since May, Google has been in hot water worldwide over the information it collected during its street-mapping projects. European regulators have been pressing the company since it was revealed that Google collected information from Wi-Fi networks as its street-view vans cruised neighborhoods around the globe. The information Google gathered included e-mail fragments and passwords, alarming politicians and privacy and security advocates in Germany, France, and Spain.

    Recently, the Washington Post noted as part of a two-year investigation into America's intelligence community that Google supplies special mapping and search products to the U.S. military and intelligence community, with some Google employees enjoying top secret clearance to work with the government. That news has consumer advocates and politicians asking exactly what information Google has collected — and why.”

    “Still, there has been pressure from state governments. A group of 38 state attorneys general led by Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has asked Google for detailed information on what it gathered, how the software was tested (if it was inadvertent), and who at the company was responsible for the Wi-Fi spying. The state AGs have also asked the Energy and Commerce Committee to hold hearings on the issue and said they could take legal action if it doesn't get answers.”

    The decline of America will give rise to the Antichrist and his one world Government.

    In signing the bill restoring unemployment benefits to 2 ? million Americans jobless for more than 26 weeks, President Obama is also adding $34 billion to the deficit and the National Debt. That's the reason nearly all Republicans voted against the measure. They wanted the cost of the benefits paid for with unspent government funds or by other budget cuts.”

    Prophecy Sign: One of the key scriptures informing us our generation is the last generation is found in Revelation 9:21. The words “magic arts” in Revelation 9:21 is the Greek word pharmakia from which comes our word “pharmacy”. It signifies the use of medicine, drugs, spells, such as those used in witchcraft and those used today by those who are seeking a greater “high”.  In order words we are told the last generation would be found for its drug use.  Matthew 24:12 "Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold.

    MEXICO CITY – Eight suspected drug gang gunmen died in a battle with Mexican soldiers in the remote mountains of northern Chihuahua state, the federal Public Safety Department said Thursday. The department cited an internal army report saying the clash occurred near the rural town of Madera, about 145 miles (230 kilometers) south of the U.S. border. The gunmen apparently opened fire on an army patrol, but the Defense Department did not offer any information on the attack or the identity of the attackers. The area is frequently used by gangs to produce and traffic drugs.

    “An Augusta State University student filed suit Wednesday after she was told to change her Christian beliefs or otherwise be expelled from the school's graduate counseling program. "A public university student shouldn’t be threatened with expulsion for being a Christian and refusing to publicly renounce her faith, but that’s exactly what’s happening here," said David French, senior counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund. "Simply put, the university is imposing thought reform." Jennifer Keeton, 24, has been enrolled in the College of Education's School Counselor masters degree program since fall 2009. She has expressed her Christian beliefs in class discussions and written assignments, but it was her views regarding gender and sexuality that irked faculty. According to the filed complaint, "She has stated that she believes sexual behavior is the result of accountable personal choice rather than an inevitability deriving from deterministic forces. She also has affirmed binary male-female gender, with one or the other being fixed in each person at their creation, and not a social construct or individual choice subject to alteration by the person so created. Further, she has expressed her view that homosexuality is a 'lifestyle,' not a 'state of being.'"

    jupiter jupiter Jupiter has lost one of its iconic red stripes and scientists are baffled as to why. The largest planet in our solar system is usually dominated by two dark bands in its atmosphere, with one in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere. However, the most recent images taken by amateur astronomers have revealed the lower stripe known as the Southern Equatorial Belt has disappeared leaving the southern half of the planet looking unusually bare.

    Image: Themis and fragments The recent discovery of an asteroid wrapped in a layer of water ice has revived the possibility that some space rocks would be great potential pit stops — as well as destinations – for manned or robotic exploration missions. If a space destination has water, that means astronauts traveling there could potentially use it for drinking and washing. But much more importantly, the water could be broken down into its component parts (hydrogen and oxygen) to make rocket fuel, experts say.

    Rule under the Antichrist/July 22, 2010

    Prophecy Sign: Matthew 10:34 "Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother- in-law…."
