Simon White got it all right for sure, God's plan stands and we shall be witnesses of triumph of light over darkness but lets pause a bit, the time is short but we cannot measure it with exactitude. What alternatives are there for children of God and those yet to make a choice; For believers I say watch and pray and to other religious adherents, return to the right path and seek the face of Jehovah our God.God does not wish that any soul should perish and will always welcome the repentant sinner, remember parable of the prodigal son in gospel of Luke. There is no atheist in a foxhole, even the devil would seek God when in dare peril. May God give us grace to overcome these tumultous and evil times.

Dearest Simon, I humbly say AMEN, to your wonderful prayer.

I love The Holy Bible but never forget your world history! After world war 2,they said it(Genocide) could never happen again-yet we have already seen genocide/ethnic cleansing/rape as state policy;many times since then.People say time is the great healer but I say it is 'The Great Deciever' as we know from genocide/war & the less serious example of disgraced public figures who lie low for a couple of years before reappearing & being accepted again.People seem to have short memories.....or are decieved by satan while God allows it?
This last generation is now particulary vulnerable to the same plan of WW1 & WW2....'My people perish through lack of knowledge' as they are soldiers who have fallen asleep on sentry duty;a crime punishable by death(mortal & Spiritual) in times of war.
A distracted/decieved world You will know we are in the midst of a great battle & will qualify as a watcher & waiter for Our Lord Jesus Christ.Daniel was right,with going to & fro & the increase in knowledge-we know the end is near because it is hard even for me as a follower of Jesus Christ to stay focused....secular people have not got the compass we have....Jesus.Now is the time to disengage from the world as much as we can & embrace Jesus Christ as much as possible.
The Spiritual plan is the same as it was back in the 1930s & is being played out on the world stage again for the same prize-global domination.In the 30's economic collapse was accompanied by political turmoil & agitation;ushering in Hitlers police state under the need for security.....today we have terrorism & economic collapse being used to justify setting up the mechanism of another police state-see the dvd on Tony Blair(Taking Liberties).Big Brother is definitely watching & listening.The common denominator is.....fear.

I am not an economist but believe what The Holy Bible reveals....forget the endless speculation by the media/news.....things are definitely going to get much worse,we have not seen anything yet.But we can Rejoice because our Redemption draws near,Hallajuha!
satan will not make his move to early;just as Hitler waited patiently for years until the timing was perfect to sieze power so it will be again.As they say in comedy 'Timing is everything'...all we have to do is watch & wait & study The Holy Bible.There is still resistance today but we will know when that time has passed......leaving only Gods faithful witnesses......as I understand it saving souls is Gods responsibilty but I am required by Him to give a witness until the end.
Pray for wisdom,truth & not to be decieved.People who forget the lessons of history are bound to repeat the same mistakes of the past & in 6000 years that is all man has done....the ways of men seem right but lead to death.We need Jesus Christ & the world needs Jesus Christ but God has not called everyone for reasons best known to him.He sees the big picture & I trust in him,even if I do not always understand His plan.At the moment his ways are not our ways but one day soon He will restore everything & then we will know the Truth of intamcy of walking with God again & that without him we only live in chaos/death.There will be no doubt in the end that Adam & Eve made a very bad decision & that without God we make our own hell on earth.....rebellion will be defeated totally & I find that prospect very,very exciting & nothing to get gloomy about!
Embrace the change & rejoice!If suffering was good enough for Jesus Christ & the Apostles;why is that mainstream christianty believe they will be raptured away & spared the pain of the end times??
In my lifetime I have seen the end of communism(Berlin wall)& capitalism(bank collapse)& am seeing the rise of the new holy roman empire & feel honoured that these eyes will see the fufilling of The Book of Revelation-the emergence of the antichrist & false prophet.....& The soon return of Jesus Christ.It is like winning front row seats to the best show in town & meeting the star of the show backstage after the performance.It is such a privelege to be alive now & see The Holy Bible fulfilled.
Guide our paths O Lord that we may not stand still or walk backwards;strengthen our Spirit & helps us walk/run towards you...we ask this in Jesus name,Amen.
