PART I


Signs of Zechariah 12:3 coming to pass/ The many signs




Luke 21:11 (pestilence).

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — It sounds like a horror movie: Biting ants invade by the millions. A camper's metal walls bulge from the pressure of ants nesting behind them. A circle of poison stops them for only a day, and then a fresh horde shows up, bringing babies. Stand in the yard, and in seconds ants cover your shoes.

It's an extreme example of what can happen when the ants — which also can disable huge industrial plants — go unchecked. Controlling them can cost thousands of dollars. But the story is real, told by someone who's been studying ants for a decade.

"Months later, I could close my eyes and see them moving," said Joe MacGown, who curates the ant, mosquito and scarab collections at the Mississippi State Entomological Museum at Mississippi State University.

He's been back to check on the hairy crazy ants. They're still around. The occupant isn't.

The flea-sized critters are called crazy because each forager scrambles randomly at a speed that your average picnic ant, marching one by one, reaches only in video fast-forward. They're called hairy because of fuzz that, to the naked eye, makes their abdomens look less glossy than those of their slower, bigger cousins.

And they're on the move in Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana. In Texas, they've invaded homes and industrial complexes, urban areas and rural areas. They travel in cargo containers, hay bales, potted plants, motorcycles and moving vans. They overwhelm beehives — one Texas beekeeper was losing 100 a year in 2009. They short out industrial equipment.

If one gets electrocuted, its death releases a chemical cue to attack a threat to the colony, said Roger Gold, an entomology professor at Texas A&M.

"The other ants rush in. Before long, you have a ball of ants," he said.

Prophecy Sign: Zechariah 12:3 “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”

Prophecy Sign: “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed” (Genesis 12:3).

In Europe, policy is still on deflationary settings, with protestors in Athens fighting back against austerity measures.

Prophecy Sign: Signs leading the world to a one world economic system which the Antichrist will rule over as in Revelation 13:16-17. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
In many of my previous posts I warned you that if you watched the news you will see and hear more news about a depression coming. For example, in my post Dec. 8, 2008 this is what I wrote you. “Early this year I asked you to watch the news because you would start hearing more talk about a Depression coming.” Since 2008 the world has been fighting off going deeper into an on going recession, but there is no question the global economic crisis has gotten much worse since 2008. If case you are not up to speed with the economic state of the world check out this headline: “Protectionism beckons as leaders push world into Depression”
“The world savings rate has surpassed its modern-era high of 24pc. This is the killer in the global system. It is why we are at imminent risk of tipping into a second, deeper leg of intractable depression”.

“The global financial system is on the edge of a new credit crunch as the cost of insuring the bonds of banks across the world hits new highs, analysts have said” “

Credit default swaps on lenders as far afield as China and Australia, countries that until recently seemed immune to the chaos, have doubled in the last two months to levels not seen since the financial crisis.

In Europe, French and Belgian government officials are due to meet on Monday to discuss the crisis enveloping Dexia as speculation mounts about a possible break-up of the Franco-Belgian lender.

Last week, the cost of insuring Dexia bonds hit an all-time high of 900 basis points, nearly double the level just two months ago, meaning the annual cost to insure €10m (£8.59m) of the bonds is £900,000.

"The money ran out in June and what you are seeing now is the beginning of a new credit crunch, except this time it will be truly global, not Western," said one senior London-based credit analyst.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/8802846/Banking-crisis-set-to-trigger-new-credit-crunch.html

Headline: “Barack Obama: Euro zone debt crisis ‘scaring the world’ “President Barack Obama says the financial crisis in Europe is contributing to slow economic growth worldwide and that leaders in the euro zone were not dealing with the issue quickly enough”.




More bad news for the US economy!



“(Reuters) - Shares of American Airlines parent AMR Corp (AMR.N) fell as much as 41 percent on Monday on growing fears the third-largest U.S. airline is headed for bankruptcy, although the carrier said Chapter 11 is "not our goal."

The stock's decline to its lowest price since 2003 outpaced share losses posted by rival carriers, which also suffered on worries that economic weakness could drain travel demand this autumn.

"When can they stop the bleeding of cash?" asked Basili Alukos, an equity analyst at Morningstar. AMR had a second-quarter net loss of $286 million, while rivals showed profits.

More bad news for the global economic outlook. This time the news is about Greece.

“LONDON (AP) - Stocks took another hit Monday after Greece admitted it won't meet its deficit reduction targets, raising renewed fears that the country will not get crucial bailout loans it needs to avoid a default. The euro hit a near ten-year low against the yen and a near-2011 low against the dollar. The renewed bout of jitters were stoked by Sunday's statement from the Greek finance ministry that the deficit this year will likely be 8.5 percent of its gross domestic product, higher than the 7.8 percent previously anticipated.”

In chapter one of my prophecy book I give you the specific details showing you how the US is declining in power and how this decline is adding to the burdens of a global economic crisis. One of the details I cite is the number of banks that have folded. In my posts and in my prophecy book I warn you that many other banks will also fold. Here is the latest news concerning this issue. “Regulators on Friday closed a small bank in Texas, boosting to 74 the number of U.S. bank failures this year. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. seized First International Bank, based in Plano, Texas, with seven branches, $239.9 million in assets and $208.8 million in deposits.”



Open up your eyes and pay attention to Jesus’ warnings because the new global economic system is going to have to rise, and out of this new system will come the Antichrist.

Prophecy Sign: 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 9The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.


“Are Aliens Part of God’s Plan, Too? Finding E.T. Could Change Religion Forever”

Space.com: “ORLANDO, Fla. — The discovery of intelligent aliens would be mind-blowing in many respects, but it could present a special dilemma for the world's religions, theologians pondering interstellar travel concepts said Saturday (Oct. 1).

Christians, in particular, might take the news hardest, because the Christian belief system does not easily allow for other intelligent beings in the universe, Christian thinkers said at the 100 Year Starship Symposium, a meeting sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to discuss issues surrounding traveling to other stars.

In other words, "Did Jesus die for Klingons too?" as philosophy professor Christian Weidemannof Germany's Ruhr-University Bochum titled his talk at a panel on the philosophical and religious considerations of visiting other worlds.”

Like I said, you are going to hear a lot of news about UFO’s and life from outer space. Again, I say do not allow for the strong delusion to lead you away from Christ. Here is more news trying to lead you in the wrong direction!

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) -A new documentary about Mayan civilization will provide evidence of extraterrestrial contact with the ancient culture, according to a Mexican government official and the film's producer.

"Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond," currently in production, will claim the Mayans had contact with extraterrestrials, producer Raul Julia-Levy revealed to TheWrap.

"Mexico will release codices, artifacts and significant documents with evidence of Mayan and extraterrestrial contact, and all of their information will be corroborated by archaeologists," said Julia-Levy, son of actor Raul Julia.

In a release to TheWrap, Luis Augusto Garcia Rosado, the minister of tourism for the Mexican state of Campeche, said new evidence has emerged "of contact between the Mayans and extraterrestrials, supported by translations of certain codices, which the government has kept secure in underground vaults for some time."

He also spoke, in a phone conversation, of "landing pads in the jungle that are 3,000 years old."

Prophecy Sign: Matthew 24:7 11And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Revelation 6:6 you read the Lord’s warning people will work all day for one very small meal.

In my June 14, 2011 post I gave you news concerning the ozone layer depletion. I gave you this news in light of what it warns in Revelation 16: 8-11. “And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. 10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.”


One of the factors leading to crop destruction is the ozone layer depletion “The ozone layer has seen unprecedented damage in the Arctic this winter due to cold weather in the upper atmosphere. By the end of March, 40% of the ozone in the stratosphere had been destroyed, against a previous record of 30%” (BBC News April 5, 2011). “Loss of ozone allows more of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet-B rays to penetrate through the atmosphere. This has been linked to increased rates of skin cancer, cataracts and immune system damage. "With no ozone layer, you would have 70 times more UV than we do now - so you can say the ozone layer is a sunscreen of factor 70," said Dr Braathen” (Ibid.).

PART II





“Ozone loss over the Arctic this year was so severe that for the first time it could be called an "ozone hole" like the Antarctic one, scientists report. About 20km (13 miles) above the ground, 80% of the ozone was lost, they say. The cause was an unusually long spell of cold weather at altitude. In cold conditions, the chlorine chemicals that destroy ozone are at their most active. It is currently impossible to predict if such losses will occur again, the team writes in the journal Nature.” “The ozone layer blocks ultraviolet-B rays from the Sun, which can cause skin cancer and other medical conditions.”

As long as I am on the subject of intense heat here is more news showing us the signs Jesus warned us about.

“While people in the mid-Atlantic were dealing with a chilly rain and wet snow, the High Plains are gearing up for several more days of near-record warmth. Several record high temperatures were broken Saturday and Sunday as temperatures soared into the upper 80s to mid-90s from Montana and Wyoming into the Dakotas. Dickinson, N.D., hit a record 95°, while the temperature in Rapid City, S.D., soared to 94°. Additional records are likely to fall each afternoon early this week from eastern Montana through Wyoming, northeastern Colorado, the western Dakotas and western Nebraska. The culprit behind this bout of record warmth is a sprawling area of high pressure centered over the southern Plains. West-to-southwest flow around the area of high pressure sends the air down the lee side of the Rocky Mountains.”

Prophecy Sign: Matthew 24:7 (disease). Take a look at this headline: “Dengue fever infects over 12,000 in Pakistan”

“Already cursed by floods and suicide bombings, Pakistan now faces a new menace from an unprecedented outbreak of the deadly tropical disease dengue fever. In less than a month, 126 people have died and more than 12,000 have been diagnosed with the virus, which has spread rapidly among both rich and poor in Pakistan's cultural capital Lahore. Dengue affects between 50 and 100 million people in the tropics and subtropics each year, resulting in fever, muscle and joint ache. But it can also be fatal, developing into haemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome, which is characterised by bleeding and a loss of blood pressure.”

Prophecy Sign: Luke 21:25 is the sign of the roaring of the seas and waves. (storms).

“Flooding in Algeria has killed at least 10 people and destroyed hundreds of homes, officials have said. Eight people were killed in the town of el-Bayadh, 700km (435 miles) south of the capital Algiers, reports say. The dead include three children swept away by an overflowing river. A mother and her infant child are missing”

Prophecy Sign: Matthew 24: 9 tells us in the last days the world will have Christians for Jesus’ name sake.

Iran pastor guilty of being a 'Zionist, traitor' Iranian pastor Yusef Nadarkhani should face the death penalty for being a traitorous "Zionist" and committing "security crimes," not for apostasy, an official said Friday according to Fars news agency, amid a Western outcry over his sentence.

TEHRAN, IRAN (Worthy News)– Militants with suspected ties to Iranian security forces have threatened to kill nearly a dozen evangelical Christians who fled Iran unless they "repent" and return to Islam, well-informed sources told Worthy News early Sunday, October 2.

At least 11 Iranian Christians received electronic mail messages from ‘The Unknown Soldiers Of The Hidden Imam’ calling on them to either repent or face extra-judicial execution, said an Iranian church group and religious rights organization Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW).

The email threats came as in Iran Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani was awaiting a possible death sentence as early as Sunday, October 2, on charges of "apostasy", or abandoning Islam, although an Iranian official and government-linked media included "offenses" ranging from "rape and extortion" to "security crimes" to the long list of alleged wrongdoings.

The ‘Unknown Soldiers’ are alleged to have links with Iranian security services, CSW told Worthy News in a statement.

For Jesus name sake: "CAIRO, Egypt – A group of hard-line Muslims attacked a church building in Upper Egypt Friday afternoon, torching the structure and then looting and burning nearby Christian-owned homes and businesses. The 3,000-strong mob of hard-line and Salafi Muslims gutted the Mar Gerges Church in the Elmarenab village of Aswan, then demolished much of its remains, multiple witnesses at the scene said. The mob also razed four homes near the church and two businesses, all Christian-owned. Looting was also reported.Michael Ramzy, a villager in Elmarenab, said the attack started shortly after Muslims held their afternoon prayers. “Imams in more than 20 mosques called for crowds to gather and destroy the church and demolish the houses of the Copts and loot their properties,” Ramzy told local media."

Prophecy Sign: Matthew 24:7 there will be wars and rumors of war.

“LONDON, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- An ugly momentum is building in the South China Sea, where an official Chinese newspaper called last week for war against Vietnam and the Philippines to uphold China's assertion of sovereignty over the mineral-rich seabed, estimated to hold 7 billion barrels of oil and 900 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. The lead article in the Chinese Communist Party newspaper Global Times. Tuesday carried the headline "The time to use force has arrived in the South China Sea; Let's wage wars on the Philippines and Vietnam to prevent more wars."

Matthew 24:7 the sign of many earthquakes, and Luke 21:11 fearful events.

October 2, 2011 – INDONESIA - Indonesian officials have raised the status of one of its most dangerous volcanoes, Anak Krakatau, to a “standby” or level IV- the highest level. The Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG), Surono said this is a rise in status that was set on Friday, September 30, 2011 evening at 24.00. The reason for the elevated status is because of the high-intensity level of earthquakes. Today, for example. “On October 2, 2011, at 00.00 until 12.00, there are 2745 recorded seismic events,” said Surono, when he was contacted by VIVAnews.com, Sunday, October 2, 2011. Earthquakes under Mount Anak Krakatau, Surono added, were even felt all along the island of Anak Krakatau. “The swarm of tremors are continuous and although small, 2 on the Richter scale, they are cause for concern because they are felt constantly,” he added. He explained, almost since 2007, Krakatau has been stirred by unrest. “In a moment, it stopped, and erupted in 2009. I think this mountain is always in danger of erupting,” he added. –Viva News (translated)

Revelation 4:1.......After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

This is a very interesting time because during the 10 days of awe between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur God opens the door of Heaven to receive the repentance of the Jews and then closes the door on Yom Kippur. Definitely a high alert watch time. The bottomline is this. Be ready every day of your life to go home with Christ at any given second! He is coming!
