Good morning, blog readers. from mostly sunny and cool (58 degrees) Wisconsin where, according to the USGS, over the last 24 hours, there have been 10 “minor” quakes in 9 states, 8 “moderate” quakes in Afghanistan, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Oregon, Fiji, Greece, the Philippines. Ecuador, Papua New Guinea, Argentina and a “strong” (6.4) quake in Fiji! As Jesus told His disciples in Mark 13:32-33, “But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time will come!

Yes, dearly beloved in Christ, He is coming! Are you ready? Are you excited? You should be. The “signs” Jesus gave us, in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 are all there. Get ready for liftoff! Love in Christ, Doug (9/10/25)

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (45 degrees) Wisconsin where, in this morning’s news, I read this troubling headline: “8 Urgent Hurricane and Flood Threats Hitting the US This Week! And, if that were not enough, overnight, there were 23 “minor” earthquakes in the United States and Canada! Can you say: “Stormy Weather?” Remember, dearly beloved, Jesus prophesied of these “weather events “in Revelation 21:25-28, more “signs” of His coming. Yes, dearly beloved, Jesus is coming! Are you ready? These are exciting times for the believers in Jesus and scary times for the unbelievers. But, you can change that right now by agreeing with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior (Jesus) 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). Praying I’ll see you in heaven. Love in Christ, Doug (9/8/25)

This recent headline, from Tania Curado Koenig, caught my eye bigtime: “Beijing’s Week of Power: A Parade, a Summit – and a Tableau that Looked Like a Preface to Armageddon.”

President Xi Jinping used one concentrated week to fuse pageantry with power politics: a high-stakes Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Tianjin followed by the largest military parade modern China had staged, marking 80 years since the end of World War II. Xi was flanked by Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un of North Korea, and Iran’s new President Masoud Pezeshkian as a tier of global south leaders looked on. The optics were unmistakable: a counter-Western alignment paraded down Chang’an Avenue with Putin, Modi, Erdogan and others for bilateral huddles with Xi. China also spotlighted new hypersonic anti-ship missiles, ICBMs, undersea drones and chose to honor China’s pitch to lead a non-western security/economic alliance against the United States and her allies. Also of note: Turkey’s Tayyip conferred with Putin; Kim was treated as a guest of honor, along with the other enemies of the United States and the West. Can you say: “Ezekiel 38-39?” Answer: I knew you could!”

Dearly beloved in Christ, God’s Word (Ezekiel 38-39) tells us that Russia and her allies will be defeated by Jesus and, one day, rule the world. I can’t wait. So, let us watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. Love in Him, Doug (9/5/25)

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and (39 degrees) Wisconsin where I am getting ready for a doctor’s appointment.

Question: “Do you remember Casey Kasem and the “American Top 40?”I surely do, as I listened to it daily, memorizing and singing the most popular songs of the day over and over again.

Question: “Do you read and memorize Scripture the same way? I surely don’t, but I should, as “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Sad to say, I can’t tell you where that is in Scripture. Can you? Hope to have an answer by tomorrow. Love in Christ, Doug (9/4/25)

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and warm (73 degrees) Wisconsin where, as the eastern part of the world continues to recover from the devastating earthquake of the previous day, the so-called “kings from the east” (Revelation 16:12) are gathering for an alliance against the west which may, one day perhaps soon, take over the world. Reuters reported: “China’s President Xi Jinping convened his Russian and North Korean counterparts in Beijing for the first time on Tuesday, a show of solidarity with countries shunned by the West over their role in Europe’s first war in 80 years.

Xi hosted Vladimir Putin for talks at the Great Hall of the People and then at his personal residence, calling him his ‘old friend.’ A few hours later, Kim Jong Un’s armored train was spotted by a Reuters witness arriving in the Chinese capital.” All I can say is, quoting Jesus: “Come, Lord Jesus!

All I can say is, quoting Jesus, in Mark 13:33, 35, 37, “stay on the alert!” Yes, dearly beloved in Christ, Jesus is coming! Read Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 and you will see the “birth pains” leading up to the Lord’s return. Time is of the essence. So, please, dearly beloved, watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. Love in Christ, Doug (9/2/25)

Good afternoon, blog readers, from sunny and warm (70 degrees) Wisconsin where, over the last 48 hours, according to the USGS, there have been 2 “strong” (6.1, 6.0) earthquakes in Russia and 15 (moderate (5.0-5.9) quakes in Alaska, Japan, the Mid-Atlantic Region, Mongolia, Nevada, Russia, Fiji, Taiwan, the Solomon Islands) and Tonga. So, stay tuned to see if these will increase in “frequency and intensity,” like “birth pains, as Jesus said they would in Matthew 24:8).”

Blessings with love and prayers, Doug (8/30/25)

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cool (49 degrees) Wisconsin where today, east of the Kuril Islands, there was a “strong” (6.1) earthquake and 12 “minor” (2.5-3.1) quakes in Alaska & Canada! As I often say in my blogs, quoting Jesus in Mark 13:33, 35, 37: “”Stay on the alert!” Love and prayers, Doug (8/25/25)

Good morning, blog readers, from

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (61 degrees) Wisconsin where, this morning, I read the following headlines:

#1. Hurricane Erin began strengthening again Wednesday, as it crept closer to the mid-Atlantic, picking up steam, as it edges along the East Coast, could lead to ‘catastrophic consequences.”

#2. While Erin is unlikely to make landfall before turning farther out to sea, forecasters expect the storm to peak going into Thursday and say it could intensify again as a major hurricane.”

3. Once again, I am reminded by Dr. Luke, in Luke 21:25-28, Jesus told His disciples that, before His His return, there will be “signs in the sun, the moon and the stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because Your redemption is drawing near. “Hallelujah! Glory to God! Come, Lord Jesus! Love, Doug (8/21/25)
