The latest?

With the Iraq war over and elections less than a year and a half away the liberal media is already full swing into politicizing the news. For example, its only been a few months but President Bush is catching a lot of flak because no weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq yet. So what!?! Who decided that a couple of months was enough time to search a country the size of California?

Appearances aren't everything. As I understand it, just a week ago Ariel Sharon used the phrase 'occupied territory' in a speech about the latest peace efforts. He has never used that phrase before, is he giving in to the demands of the Palestinians? Probably not. The greater likelihood is that he knows that the Arab people are incapable of keeping any part of any agreement, so theres nothing to lose by speaking words which imply conceding any part of Israel's birthright to those who support the homicide bombing of innocent civilians on buses.

Hal Lindsey very succinctly summarized the reason why a Peace Treaty can't happen (until Antichrist makes it happen ) ...

"For the Arabs to recognize Israel's right to exist on land once conquered for Allah is tantamount to saying the Koran is wrong...

On the Israeli side, recognizing Arab sovereignty over Jerusalem and the Temple Mount is a tacit admission the Bible was somehow incorrect in its references to Jerusalem as both the City of God and the City of David. "

Monkey Pox from prairie dogs is spreading in the US? Too early to tell how serious this might be, but it sure is ugly.

More later...

God's judgement is his mercy, but many people don't see it that way.

I believe God gave me a scriptural revelation the other night while driving on the freeway, here it is:

The body of Jesus Christ was risen as a new, incorruptible, glorified body early on the 3rd Day. So it will be with the Body of Christ today, which is the Church. On the 3rd day the body, that is the church of true believers, will be given new incorruptible bodies and will rise to meet Christ in the air. The Rapture is nearer than ever, but do not give any attention to anyone who says they know the day or the hour, because God's Word says no one, not even the angels, know what the day or the hour is....but its near.

I believe that the 3rd day has already begun.

Hosea 6:1-2
Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us;
he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.

2 Peter 3:8
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

2000 years = 2 days to the Lord
2000 years since Christ is right about now.

What should we do while we wait for the Lord's return?

• Keep God's Word, don't just read it
• Walk in the Light, separate yourself from the world.
• Please God by the way you live.
• Witness to others, like Enoch who was raptured, tell people "the Lord is coming"
• Persevere, look forward, don't turn back to the life you've left.
• Be Humble
• Be Holy
• Be Blameless, make every effort to stay blameless and pure.
• Be Watchful for the return of the Lord.
• Pray always

"Dear God in Heaven, please help me to live my life in such a way that it is pleasing to you. Please consider me worthy to escape the time that is coming to test this world. In the name of Jesus, my Lord, I pray. Amen."
