A
major 6.9 earthquake hit Loyalty Islands on Saturday, March 3, 2012,
at 12:19:55 UTC, at a depth of 15.2 km (9.4 mi). This is the second major earthquake (6.7 and 6.9) to hit in the last week.
Jesus said these
signs would appear before He returns, "Nation
will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be
famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places" Matthew 24:7.
You may have noticed that the frequent major earthquakes throughout the world are hitting in various places. This is exactly what Jesus said would happen. The graph below shows the drastic
increase in earthquake activity
between 2010 and 2011 (look closely at the 2011 increase on the graph
near the border).

From
the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes, tornadoes ripped across Kentucky,
Tennessee, Indiana and Ohio on Friday. Powerful tornadoes leveled towns
in southern Indiana, and an Associated Press reporter in Henryville
said the high school was destroyed and the second floor had been ripped
off the middle school next door. Authorities said the school was in
session, but there were only minor injuries there. Classroom chairs
were scattered on the ground outside, trees were uprooted and cars had
huge dents from baseball-sized hail.
The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center said the storms
put 10 million people at high risk of dangerous weather. Two days ago,
13 people were killed by tornadoes in the South and Midwest.
The
deadly storms have not let up this week. We need to pray that people
across this nation and throughout the world will seek God, while there
is still time to pray. The Bible tells us that tribulation such as the
world has never seen will come upon this earth, and these storms are
mild in comparison. During the tribulation period, the wrath of God
will be poured out on all the earth because of the wicked, who refuse to
repent. Jesus said,
"...then there will be great tribulation such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever will be" Matthew
24:21. People can get angry with me all they want to because I
am issuing warnings about what is coming upon the earth, but remember,
Jesus also issued the same warnings. Many preachers today are telling
their congregations only the niceties and things they want to hear.
Jesus didn't spare, and He expects His pastors to preach the same
message He preached, "Take heed." Jesus said, "Take heed, watch and pray, for you do not know when the time is (the day of His return)" Mark 13:33.
"Therefore, saith the Lord GOD, I will even rend it with a stormy wind
in My fury and there will be an overflowing shower in My anger, and great hailstones" Ezekiel 13:13.

Six
additional Los Angeles School District employees have been arrested and
charged for lewd acts and unlawful sex. These charges were filed in
the wake of the arrest of Miramonte Elementary School teacher Mark
Berndt, who was charged with lewd acts upon 23 children. Subsequent to
Berndt's arrest, another teacher at the same school, Martain Springer,
was also arrested and charged. Another five teachers or teacher's aides
have been moved to non-teaching settings, while authorities continue
their investigations of more complaints throughout the district.
Unrelated
cases also include the arrest of band leader Corey Hogan on February
27, with Dantzler Prep Charter School in Washington. He was charged
with having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student. Hogan is
out of jail on $100,000 bail. Gabriela Cortez, Spanish teacher, was
arrested on February 22, and accused of having sexual relationships with
two students at Roosevelt High School. One of the students approached
Montebello Police because his conscience was bothering him, reported the
Associated Press. Also on February 22, an athletic assistant, Jose
Rosario Alvarez, was arrested for having a sexual relationship with a
16-year-old student at a Los Angeles County School. Alain Salas,
Teacher's Aide at Fremont High School, was arrested on February 13, for
three counts of lewd acts and one count of contacting a 15-year-old
student for a sexual offense. Paul Adame, a janitor with Germain Street
Elementary School, was arrested on February 6, for committing a lewd
act with a child on campus. Paul Chapel, a third grade teacher with
Telfair Elementary School, was arrested on October 8, 2011, for
continuous sexual abuse against three girls and one boy from 2010 to
2011. Chapel is currently in jail in lieu of $2.2 million bail,
reported HuffingtonPost.com.
You
have to know that a very sinister, evil force is at work in the world
today, when so very many teachers throughout the nation are being
arrested for sexually abusing children. These are just a tip of the
iceberg. It is so outrageous, it is almost unspeakable the vast numbers
involved throughout the nation. There are extremely long
lists of teachers who have been charged and/or arrested in sexual abuse
cases in the US. If you are inclined to see spiritually, it is obvious
that this is way far out of the norm and wickedness abounds in the
world, which affects a lot of people who leave themselves open for
spiritual attack, because they are not servants of God. Some people
don't realize that if they do not serve the Lord, they are servants of
satan by default, according to the Word of God, "Don't
you know that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his
servants you are, whether of sin which leads to death, or of obedience
unto righteousness?" Romans 6:16. Speaking of the last days, the Bible says,
"The land will mourn and all who dwell in it will languish, with the
beasts of the field, the fowls of heaven, yes, the fishes of the sea
will also be taken away" Hosea 4:3. It is obvious to see that
the world is mourning and languishing - America's children are
languishing. This may also be referred to as a "sin-sick world," which
affects everything.

President
Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act just before
Christmas last year, while no one was paying attention, which included indefinite detention of American citizens on
exclusive order of the president. Now that Obama is campaigning and he
finds this a real "root of contention" among voters, he has decided to
put forth some rules and waivers attached to the bill. The section of
the bill which allows for indefinite detention of Americans without a trial, Section 1022, is at the heart of the controversy, reported HuffingtonPost.com.
This
is the most ludicrous campaign rhetoric! The man just signed the bill
two months ago, and now he is making all of these concessions and
"waivers!" Right. What people are too dead asleep to understand is
that once the elections have passed and if he is reelected, he can just
as easily "unwaive" his waivers! Does anyone remember how he
disregarded the natural born citizen requirements of the US
Constitution? How about when he disregarded the War Powers Act and
declared war on Syria, on his own, without Congressional approval? The
man is about as reliable as a broken tooth or foot out of joint! He has
broken 62, yes 62 campaign promises since 2008, when he took office
(source: politifact.com - Obameter). The Word of God says, "Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth and a foot out of joint" Proverbs 25:19.

Joanna Ramos, 10, victim of after school fight, ruled a homicide.
The
death of a ten-year-old Long Beach, California girl involved in an
after-school fight has been ruled a homicide by the coroner. Joanna
Ramos's mother rushed her to the hospital Friday evening, after the
girl began vomiting and complained of a headache. She had a blood clot
and underwent surgery on her brain, but died of complications shortly
after surgery. Joanna was pronounced dead at 9 pm Friday, about six
hours after she and another 11-year-old girl fought after school in an
ally, reported FoxNews.com. "I personally don't hear of 11-year-old
fights like this, especially girls. I can't say they never happen, but I
think everyone was caught off guard by this event," police spokeswoman
Nancy Pratt said Sunday.
Of
course she never hears of such fights. We are living in the last days
before the return of the Lord, friends, and according to the scriptures,
this world and the people and animals in it will "mourn and languish."
"The land will mourn and everyone in it will languish, with the beasts of the field, the fowls of heaven, yes, the fishes of the sea will also be taken away" Hosea 4:3.
Especially since the start of last year, we see mass animal deaths
occurring all over the planet and violence and crimes are escalating at
alarming rates, not to mention the perplexity of nations, especially in
the Middle East, which is at the center of Bible prophecy. The economic
crises around the globe have also been foretold in the scriptures
(Ezekiel 7:19). It is time to pray, get close to God and witness to
family and friends about everyone's need for the Savior of the world,
Jesus Christ. The Word of God tells us that those who refuse the Lord
Jesus, who died for our sins, will be cast into hell forever (Psalm
9:17, Mark 9:45) If you haven't received the Lord, please visit the How

On
Tuesday, Chardon Police Chief Tim McKenna announced that 17-year-old
Russell King Jr., who was airlifted to a hospital after the shooting,
"has passed." Daniel Parmertor, another 16-year-old student, died only
hours after the shooting. A third student, Demetrius Hewlin, who was
wounded in the shooting rampage, died Tuesday morning. A lawyer for the
family identified the shooter as T.J. Lane, a 17-year-old junior at the
high school. Law enforcement officials described the suspect as a
"victim of bullying" and "an outcast," reported FoxNews.com. About 100
students were in the school cafeteria just before classes began at about
7:30 am, when witnesses said that the suspect opened fire at a group of
students sitting at a table.
The Bible says, "Know
this, that in the last days perilous times will come, for men will be
lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents (kids gone wild), unthankful, unholy" 2 Timothy 3:1-2.
We are living in the last days before the return of Christ, friends.

Apparently tornadoes hit so suddenly throughout the Midwest in
the very early morning hours on Wednesday, that initially weather
reports were reluctant to say exactly what type of storm system hit Missouri and
Illinois. What else do they suppose could have leveled an entire shopping
center, homes, and taken out the power of an entire city, except a
tornado - or the hand of God? If that's what they are suggesting, it
doesn't take much to convince me.
Six people were reported dead in the small town of Harrisburg, Illinois,
one of the areas hardest hit at about 5 am Wednesday. Three people
were killed in Missouri and at least three people critically injured in
Harveyville, Kansas.
The National Weather Service has confirmed that a 22-mile long tornado
hit Branson, Missouri. Three people were reportedly killed in Tennessee
after the storm moved east. From Tuesday night through Wednesday
morning, at least 16 tornado sightings were reported from Nebraska and
Kansas, across southern Missouri into Illinois and Kentucky, according
to the National Weather Service. Ninety-five tornadoes hit in January
and two people were killed in separate tornadoes last month. A
devastating twister hit Joplin, Missouri last May that killed 161
people.
The storm also hit northern Arkansas. A wall cloud, which often
produces tornadoes, was reported in Cherokee Village, where trees fell
and were scattered along the streets. Residents of Clay County reported
hail the size of golf balls.
The Bible tells us, concerning the last days, that these storms will hit,
"Thus saith the Lord GOD, I will even rend it with a stormy wind in My
fury and there will be an overflowing shower in My anger, and great hailstones in
My fury to consume it" Ezekiel 13:13. "The Lord is slow to anger and
great in power, and will not acquit the wicked; the Lord has His way in
the whirlwind and in the storm and the clouds are the dust of His feet" Nahum 1:3.

Yep, you're just gonna looooove Obamacare! By
the way, they are bringing down America, but they aren't
self-destructive. President Obama, his family and Congress and their
families are all exempt from Obamacare. It is only for "lowlifes" - yes you and me. Speaking
in the United States Senate in June, Mitch McConnell, a Republican from
Kentucky, cited wait times for procedures at a hospital in Kingston,
Ontario, to show the failings of Canada's publicly funded healthcare
system. He said that patients in that college town (and prison center)
east of Toronto wait nearly a year for knee replacement surgery, six
months for hip replacements, and three months for brain, prostate and
breast cancer surgeries. When it comes to cardiac bypass, Mr. McConnell
warned that patients in Ontario are told they have to wait six months
for surgery Americans get right away. Even leading advocates of
publicly funded healthcare in Canada readily acknowledge that wait times
are one of its biggest problems. Michael Rachlis, a physician, healthy
policy consultant and adjunct professor at the University of Toronto
stated, "I won't deny the problems we have in our system with waits and
delays and chronic disease management," reported NYTimes.com.
Do
people die in Canada waiting for treatment? You bet they do.
Apparently their "welfare state" healthcare system, much like Obamacare,
is more important to big government in Canada than the lives lost
....waiting....for....healthcare....services. Waiting doesn't sound so
bad maybe? Possibly you don't think so, unless you are the one who can
hardly breathe because of your cardiac situation, but you are told you
need to wait six months, as you feel you are dying on the spot - and
might very well!
Obamacare
is NOT free, as many people believe. After the healthcare bill passed,
many people jammed the phones at their local Health Services Agency
asking about the "free Obamacare." They were all told that they are
going to be PAYING for it; it is not free! All
Americans are going to have to pay for it and whether they like it or
not, use it or not, they are going to pay for it. The only difference
is, unlike before Obamacare, you are being forced to buy healthcare and
you will be waiting in a very long line on occasion for the healthcare
you need.
More Bible prophecy: "The murderer rising with the light kills
the poor and needy and is as a thief in the night" Job 24:14. The good
news was foretold as well: "The needy will not always be forgotten;
the expectation of the poor will not perish forever" Psalm 9:18. "For
the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now I will
arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from he who puffs at
him" Psalm 12:5. * You should find the next post very interesting as well.

Veteran's
health benefits have been notoriously lacking. If you know of a vet
who is ill, disabled, or an injured veteran, chances are you have heard
about the lengthy delays, lack of advanced treatment, lack of treatment,
consistent denial of claims, etc. Apparently, President Obama doesn't
think it's quite bad enough yet for the men and women who lay their
lives down for our freedoms. Hmmm, that word freedom reminds me of the
fact that Obama actually resents the freedoms of the American people and
he is working hard at chipping some of that out of America. The Obama
administration's proposed defense budget calls for military families and
retirees to pay a good deal more for their healthcare. At the same
time, there is no proposal to increase the same costs of healthcare for
unionized civilian defense employees. According to US officials, the
proposal is causing a major dispute with the Pentagon, reported Fox
Nation.
The prejudicial treatment between civilian defense employees and military staff is
causing tension that will most likely affect recruitment and
reenlistment. Obama's allegiance is not with the American people. He
has an agenda, and even though he is rating poorly on many issues, he is
racing full speed ahead on the path he intends to go. His aspirations
reach far beyond the American ship (he is intentionally sinking); his
focus is a New World Order, which doesn't include the US Constitution or
many of the freedoms we appreciate today. Congressional aides have
suggested that the move is designed to increase the enrollment in
Obamacare's state-run insurance exchanges.
The
proposed increases in healthcare for military staff are part of the
Pentagon's $487 billion cut. The proposal seeks to save 1.8 billion
from Tricare in the 2013 budget. That sounds about like the Obamas'
vacation spending during the last year. Michelle Obama's recent trip to
Africa cost taxpayers almost half a million dollars (just airfare
alone), which doesn't include the rest of the many trips, including
those with the president. Hmmm, vacations or healthcare benefits for US
troops laying their lives on the line......vacations it is!!
I suppose I shouldn't mention Obama's giving 770 million dollars to
redecorate mosques in the Middle East, or the 3 billion pledged to Arab
Spring nations, who are all going radical Sharia - oppressive, merciless
Muslim Brotherhood regimes.
"The
vile person will speak villany and his heart will work iniquity, to
practice hypocrisy and to utter error against the Lord, to make empty
the soul of the hungry and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to
fail. The instruments also of the churl are evil; he creates wicked
devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speak
right; but the liberal devises liberal things and by liberal things he
will stand" Isaiah 32:6-8. These words written by the prophet Isaiah in
the 8th century BC are very telling about the evil working among us
today.

IsraelToday.com by Ryan Jones (excerpts):
The Emir of Qatar on Sunday opened the International Conference for the
Defense of Jerusalem, where for the next three days Arabs and
Westerners, Muslims and Christians will attack Israel's position that
Jerusalem is its eternal, undivided capital. The official program calls
for discussing "the legal status of Jerusalem before and after the
Israeli occupation [sic], the reality and the future of Jerusalem under
occupation [sic], and the status of the holy places under international
law." Opening the event was Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, who
declared, "The Israeli occupation authorities are using the ugliest and
most dangerous means to implement plans to erase and remove the
Arab-Islamic and the Christian character of east Jerusalem." Many Arabs
view the purchase of land and the building of homes by Jews in areas
claimed as Islamic (or Christian) to be a violation of "human rights."
Another group of people once held similar views; they were called
Nazis. Israeli Arab Knesset member Ahmed Tibi, a former adviser to
Yasser Arafat, was also at the opening of the conference, where he told
Qatari media that "Israel is an occupying power in east Jerusalem and
withholds the Palestinian people's freedom of religion."
A
casual stroll through Jerusalem, where a multitude of churches and
mosques operate freely, would be enough to discredit Tibi's
allegations. What Israel does restrict is the entry of Muslim
worshipers who regularly use the Temple Mount as high ground to launch
stone attacks on Israeli Jews and foreign Christians. Although to some
Muslims, that is a part of their faith, so perhaps Tibi has a point.
Also
scheduled to address this international gathering to defend Jerusalem
against the Jews were representatives of the UN, the Arab League, and
popular Egyptian cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who advocates the subjugation
of the world to Islam and the annihilation of the Jews.
The
fact that political and religious leaders from around the world would
gather to wring their hands over Israel's control of Jerusalem should
come as little surprise. "I
am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding people
reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day,
when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make
Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it
will injure themselves." Zechariah 12:2-3.
Commentary: According to many prophecies throughout the books of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah, Hosea, Joel
and more, these signs signal the latter days, just preceding the return
of Christ. Now is the time to pray, get right with God and align
yourself with Israel, because God said, "I
will bless those who bless you and curse him who curses you, and in you
all the families of the earth will be blessed" Genesis 12:3. The oldest Grant Deed known to man is included in the Old Testament scriptures, when God gave the land of Israel to the Jews, including Jerusalem. Israel and Jerusalem belong exclusively to the Jews, always have and always will, according to the Word of God (Genesis 15:18-21, Genesis 26, Genesis 28, Exodus 3, Exodus 23:31, Numbers 34, Deuteronomy 1:8 and the list goes on).
