Lots of stories floating through my very cluttered brain today, having Prophetic significance, or at least the indication thereof.
First, former President Jimmy Carter has announced that he is beginning treatment for brain cancer that has apparently spread from his liver to various other parts of his body. What an absolute Christian enigma this man has been throughout his career!!! I confess that I truly can not fathom this man's values! His confession is as perfectly Born-Again Christian as can be, and yet the policies he supported during his presidency, and beyond would certainly not indicate that he was anything more than an International Socialist, doing everything in his power to assist the incremental movement towards the Antichrist's establishment of his one-world Socialist government (that many believe will grow from the European Common Market), which would certainly indicate that he is not truly a Born-Again Christian, in the Biblical sense of, "...by their fruits (meaning their words, in conjunction with their deeds) ye shall know them". That quote from the Lord was in response to a discussion with His disciples about how would they discern the true "Believers" from the imposters. [So what are you saying, Rick? Is he a true Christian, or not? In truth; I don't know!] He turned my stomach with some of his policies, yet he personified the personal behavior of a true Christian gentleman, as far as I can determine. Beyond that, I'll have to leave ultimate judgment up to the Lord, where it truly belongs! You and I are not big enough for the Lord's roll in these kinds of judgments, so lets just shake our heads, in wonder, and pray for the man (Jimmy Carter), and forgive the President, as we certainly must for this current one!
One must note, however, his great experience as a Naval Commander. He recounted his wartime experience when he was fishing in Georgia, when his "ship" was brutally attacked by a desperate, swimming, "Wasskalwee Wabbit", which he was able through great military prowess to overcome, probably with the aid of his mate, Elmer Fudd! This experience stood him in good stead when he sent in the helicopters to rescue the embassy hostages in Iran, just before the 1980 election.
Next, we are certainly appalled by the recent rash of anti-police attacks, including last night's shooting of a Louisiana Sherriff's Deputy, responding to the pickup truck that was stuck in a ditch by the side of the road. The driver was reported to be seen weaving recklessly in traffic, which normally indicates drunken, or otherwise intoxicated driving. He reportedly stepped out of the truck when the officer approached, with a sawed-off shotgun and shot the officer in the head. Some bystanders then, reportedly, subdued the suspect until other police arrived to arrest him. This man was a white, middle-aged American, so one may likely assume that it was neither an act of anti-American Terrorism, or anti-White Racism (as has become an all-too-common theme lately), since the deputy was himself white. So, what is the common denominator here? At the risk of sounding like a character from the old Flip Wilson comedy skits, when he said, "the Devil made me do it", to dismiss his (or "her") responsibility for the behavior; the Devil is the "common denominator" here. The "common denominator" in all these evil acts of terrorism, racial acts of violence, and hatred, (regardless of which race is perpetrating against another, without cause), or simply criminal violence for indiscernible reasons, usually under some form of chemical inebriation, the whole point is that God is allowing Satan to increasingly run amok, in order for us to realize that our military is not enough to protect us internationally, and our police are not enough to protect us at home. In these last days we are going to be forced to chose sides, either for the Lord, or deal with the increased chaos that Satan will be allowed to bring upon us to show those who have been sitting on the fence (thinking that everything is "fine") that the time to chose sides is now! The world loves chaos, and the Antichrist will soon be it's leader! If you don't chose sides now, it may be too late when you are ready!
Also, of concern is the downward trend of the international stock markets, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which opened this morning down almost 1000 points. many of the other nations' stock markets are likewise down, mostly over concerns that China is moving into a severe recession. Could this be the precursor to the great financial collapse that is prophecied in Revelation chapter 6? Who knows, but our own financial health has been hanging by a thread, and it seems that it would not take much to bring it collapsing around our ears. Could the total collapse of the Dollar follow thereafter? There have been media rumors that the Dollar is "due" to be "replaced in October", with an international form of computerized "Bitcoin". But, then again, the same people who spread these rumors probably get their information from Martian aliens, whose leader is Elvis Presley, who is alive, and well, living in Las Vegas.
