Take a look at the first article.  It really has a lot to say about today's American society and the disasters that have come and will come.  Here is an excerpt:

"Most intelligence experts agree that America is going to have another 9/11. The question is not will it happen, but when. The Church in America is totally unprepared for the probability of another major terrorist attack. What if a major WMD attack occurs in an American city or multiple cities at the same time? What if the terrorists detonate a nuclear weapon in one or more American cities simultaneously? Research indicates that any kind of WMD attack on our nation would produce catastrophic and cataclysmic results -- mass deaths, economic collapse, martial law, and the disruption of life as we know it.

Yet, in response to these intelligence probabilities there is almost a giddiness in many evangelical churches -- a far cry from the kind of repentance the Prophet Joel talked about when Israel called for solemn assemblies, weeping, repentance, and fasting for the sins of the nation."

This is a fascinating article that addresses many of the signs of the times.  I believe the Lord always provides ample warning to the world before judgment comes and sends the same message through many.  As you can see I'm not the only one carrying this message.

Palestinian President Abbas is in Gaza working toward a deal with militant group leaders for a ceasefire with Israel.  Many, if not all, look to be complying, but I'm sure Abbas told them that they would soon get what they want.

I'm no prophet, but I do see this ceasefire agreement coming about.  Yes, there maybe a few glitches along the way (we must account for God's timing), but it looks very positive.

Are you ready to meet the Lord?  If not your time is running out!
