Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and warm (62 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 46 robins, 18 grackles, 6 deer, 5 cardinals, 4 red-winged blackbirds, 2 dogs, 2 doves, a bunny and a seagull! Thank You, Jesus!
This headline, from yesterday’s Miami Herald, really got my attention this morning: “U.S. deploys warships as Russian fleet makes close pass to Florida in approach to Cuba!”
In the article, Michael Wilner and Nora Gamez Torres reported: “The U.S. Navy has deployed warships and aircraft to track a Russian naval flotilla after the Russian vessels sailed less than 30 miles off South Florida’s coast on Tuesday, U.S. officials told McClatchy (?) and the Miami Herald.
Last week, Moscow sent three ships and a nuclear-powered submarine to the Caribbean for what U.S. officials say will be a set of extensive military, air and naval exercises – the first of their kind in at least five years. The drills began on Tuesday in the Atlantic, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement, with its hypersonic-capable frigate and nuclear-capable submarine simulating a strike on a group of enemy ships. It is unclear whether the frigate is armed with hypersonic missiles, but the U.S. intelligence community has assessed that none of the Russian vessels are carrying nuclear weapons.”
Certainly this could be a “rumor of war” which Jesus spoke about with His disciples in Matthew 24:6 and Mark 13:7 and, like Russia and Ukraine, easily turn into a war. Stay tuned! And, if you are a believer in Jesus, keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please, I beg of you, agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) and believe He died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (John 3:16). Blessings with love in Christ, Doug (6/12/24)
