Headlines this week "Signs and more signs"

As I was looking through various newspapers today, I realized just how close to the rapture we really are. Jesus said in Matthew 24, That when we see all the signs He spoke about, to look up, He is at the door. The signs are all around us. Every article I read this morning was Bible Prophecy unfolding before my eyes. Each Headline was foretold over 2000 thousand years ago in the Bible.

People are being murdered everyday, mothers are killing their innocent little children, woman are being sexually assaulted, there's kids killing kids, it's so sad. Our schools aren't safe anymore, and neither are our churches. God has been taken out of our schools, government, and just about any public place. It is just like in the days of Noah, just as Jesus predicted 2000 years ago.

There are churches for Atheists. They don't want their children to feel left out, so they have started a church to teach their children how to deal with the "religious, God fearing " people. And, what about our God-fearing churches. The gospel is watered down in order not to offend anyone. Sin is being tolerated, not preached against. We are allowing homosexuals to become ministers in our "God-fearing" churches. We allow preachers that have compromised themselves to remain in high positions. Noah's day again.

The world as we know it is falling apart and at a very rapid pace. There are wars all over. Old diseases that have become antibiotic resistant. New diseases that are spreading so fast it's hard to keep up with them.

Jesus predicted in the last days that natural disasters would increase in frequency and intensity causing man great fear. The weird weather patterns we are experiencing makes you wonder what on earth is happening to our planet. The increase and intensity of earthquake, tsunami's, floods, droughts, hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons that are hitting the world shows us the absolute accuracy of God's word.

How about our food - come on - we were told the day after Thanksgiving that our Turkeys were poisoned! But, China didn't realize it until the day after Thanksgiving, so it was too late to recall them, although they apologised to the American people. Well, thank you China!

Not only the turkeys, how about beef, frozen pot pies, cat food, dog food, children's toys, ice bars, ice cream, the list is endless. To be honest if I didn't bless my food, I probably wouldn't eat again.

Look at the oil prices, $3.25 a gallon for heating oil, $3.56 a gallon for diesel fuel, and gasoline is $2.98 a gallon for regular. A loaf of bread is anywhere from $.99 - $2.49 depending on where you shop. To feed a family of three today, three meals a day, at $4.00 per person per meal is $36.00 per day which is $252.00 per week for groceries. Revelation 6:5,6, And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. We are living in the "pre" days of the complete fulfilment of this prophecy, and we think it is bad now, it is going to get a lot worse!

This is not happening just in the United States it is world wide. Actually, we are more fortunate than some of the other countries. We have people literally starving to death in some countries. And they are living in unhealthy conditions, while their government does little to help them.

How about global warming, asteroid strikes, weird weather, terrorist attacks, Iranian nuclear threats, the Middle East, the worldwide economic collapse, resurgent Marxist Russia. It is easy to see where we are headed. The good news is that "our redemption drawth nigh." Praise God, He is coming soon!
