Good morning, blog readers, from partly cloudy/sunny and cool (35 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: “Goldie” the dog and a shooting star!
Two weeks ago, based on the USGS figures, I found: 1 “strong” (6.4) and 23 “moderate” (5.0-5.7) earthquakes in 14 different places for the week.
This past week, I found: 4 “strong” (6.0-6.6 ) and 29 “moderate” (5.0-5.7) earthquakes in 26 different places, including Alaska, for the week. Stay tuned, as I believe (and I could be wrong) we are do for a “big one” here in the U.S.
Then, there was this headline from the Gatestone Institute: “Iran’s Genocidal War Against the Jews; (President) Biden Must Enforce Sanctions Now!”
In the article, Majid Rafizadeh reported: “Iran has not only been threatening the U.S. with attacks, it has attacked US assets in Syria and Iraq 83 times since Biden became president, and at least 24 times in the past two weeks. Iran also recently threatened again to annihilate Israel, and has repeatedly begun ordering its elite militias based in Syria into southern Lebanon ‘to participate in attacks on Israel.'”
Let me remind you again, from Psalm 83, that Israel’s Muslim neighbors will attack Israel, perhaps as they are now doing, to “wipe them out as a nation that the name of Israel be remembered no more,” but will fail. And, according to Ezekiel 38-39, at some time in the future, Israel will be invaded by Russia, Iran and a host of other nations to “take a spoil,” only to be destroyed by the Lord God Himself.
Yes, dearly beloved in Christ, He is coming. The first time He came to die on a cross for our sins, was buried and raised from the dead (I Corinthians 15:1-4) to forgive all our sins and give us eternal life (John 3:16). The second time He will come to conquer His enemies, set up His kingdom and reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords! I can’t wait! But, wait I must. And so must you while watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes.
And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, don’t put it off for another second or minute which you may not have. Simply 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, Doug (11/4/23)
