Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a dog! Thank You, Jesus!

Nine days ago, I wrote about the possibility of a catastrophic earthquake in the Vancouver Island Region of Canada which, according to Johanna Wagstaffe of the CBC (Canadian Broadcast Corporation), “would damage our buildings, our roads, our telecommunication systems…. Coastal communities from Vancouver Island to California may become the victims of monster tsunamis that will be generated.” Note: The reason I mention this is because, 44 minutes ago, there was a “light” (4.6) earthquake, 206 km, west of Port McNeill, Canada which is on Vancouver Island.

Sadly, there was also this headline from yesterday’s Christian Headlines: “Most Americans Hold to at Least One New Age Belief: YouGovPoll.”

Milton Quintanilla reported: “An overwhelming number of Americans (87%) hold to at least one type of new-age belief, including karma, astrology and reincarnation. The survey found that over half of Americans (55%) believe karma is real, 41% believe in hypnosis, 39% believe in UFO’s/extraterrestrials, and 29% believe in the ‘law of attraction,’ or ‘manifesting,’ a practice in which one’s experiences is shaped by one’s positive or negative thoughts.” And, Jesus said, in Matthew 24:10, “At that time (before His return), many will fall away,” that is, from the true faith in Christ.

And, one more headline from yesterday’s Jerusalem Post: “Ukraine destroys two Russian nuclear bombers in airport bombings.” The JP staff wrote: “The news came after Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu announced recently that, in the coming year, Russia will focus on improving the infrastructure for its nuclear arsenal. His announcement came amid fears that Moscow might use nuclear weapons in the war in Ukraine.” Remember, Jesus said to His disciples, “You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars” (before His return) in Matthew 24:6; Mark 13:7 and Luke 21:9.

Earthquakes, apostasy, wars and rumors of war are just some of the “signs of the times” leading up to Christ’s return. And, like “birth pains” (Matthew 24:8), they will increase in frequency and intensity before His return to set up His kingdom on earth. And, I don’t know about you but, I can’t wait. But, wait I and you must while also watching, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus before He comes.

And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please 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, Doug (12/6/22)

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (31 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I did not see any of God’s creatures! Thank You, Jesus, for just being able to walk!

I believe (and I could be wrong), the following headlines, from this morning’s news, have a prophetical significance in relation to Israel.

#1. IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) chief: “We will turn the world into a graveyard for U.S., Israel, Saudi policies (Jewish News Syndicate).”

#2. U.S. Funds Arabs Who Want to Destroy Israel (Gatestone Institute)

So, you might ask: “What’s the big deal about Israel and prophecy.” The big deal is that God, in His Word, the Bible, says it’s a “big deal.” And so, I believe God.

First of all, we know, from Scriptures like Jeremiah 31:35-37, that, “as long as the sun, the moon and the stars exist, there will be an Israel.” However, that doesn’t mean that Israel won’t be attacked because the Old Testament/Hebrew Scriptures record numerous times when she was attacked and even defeated by her enemies. And, we also know that, since Israel became a nation on May 14, 1948, she has been attacked numerous times and is still being attacked by the “Jew-haters” of the world to wipe them out as a nation that the name of Israel be remembered no more (Psalm 83:4).”

However, the Scriptures also remind us that the Jewish people are special to God. In fact, we read, in Zechariah 2:8, “For thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘After glory He has sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye.'”

Now, let me give you another Scripture which tells us that, just because you are a Jew, you are not guaranteed a place in the kingdom of God. First of all, you need to recognize that you are a sinner who needs a Savior (Jesus), Who is also Your Messiah. Sadly, we read in Zechariah 13:7-9, “Awake, O sword, against my Shepherd, and against the man, My Associate, declares the Lord of Hosts. Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered; and I will turn My hand against the little ones. “It will come about in the land,” declares the Lord, that two parts in it will be cut off and perish; but the third will be left in it. And I will bring the third part through the fire, refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them; I will say, ‘The Lord is my God.'”

Yes, God loves Israel, but He also loves the world “that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him (Jew or Gentile) shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16).” My prayer is that, if you a not a believer in Jesus, you will become one by agreeing with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) Who died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (I Corinthians 15:1-4; John 3:16). And, if you are a believer in Jesus, keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Him until He comes. Blessings, Doug (12/5/22)

Good morning, blog readers, from sunny and cold (19 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I did not see any of God’s creatures!

This headline, from yesterday’s Jerusalem Post, really got my attention this morning: “Yellowstone’s underground lava river threatens natural disaster.”

First of all, I was fascinated and surprised to learn that this headline about Yellowstone came from the Jerusalem Post. As my old friend, Arte Johnson, used to say, “Verrrry interesting!”

In the article, the JP staff reported: “Underneath Yellowstone National Park, a lava-filled river flows. This river is likely to erupt, but – but when, and what can spectators do to prepare for a disaster of the sort?

The Yellowstone caldera’s magma reservoir contains partially melted crust. The extent of the melt was far more than scientists were expecting to see. This extensive melt had begun enough to convince scientists that they were dealing with a conductor – magma in such a volume that it could incite other eruptions to come. One rather difficult issue with assessing hazards that come with volcanic eruption is that it is difficult to identify just how much magma is boiling under the surface. Plus, add in another key question – where exactly is the magma, and how can we keep ourselves safe against it?

Though many studies have produced images of the subsurface below Yellowstone, revealing magma reservoir in the mid to upper crust, it is still hard to pinpoint exactly which point of the surface is the most-at-risk of eruption. Yellowstone is an active supervolcano that will cause mass destruction when it next erupts, researchers wrote.”

Recently, I wrote about the possibility of a catastrophic earthquake in the Vancouver Islands Region of Canada. And now, the possibility of a supervolcano erupting in Yellowstone National Park.

We know, from the Book of Revelation (chapters 6-19 in particular) that, before Jesus returns to the earth to set up His kingdom, there will be all kinds of “volcanos erupting, great earthquakes and signs in the sun, the moon and the stars (Luke 21:25, 26).”

To use a baseball analogy, I believe (and I could be wrong) that the opposing pitcher (Satan) has finished his warmups and is already in the game, throwing 100 mph+ fastballs and wicked sliders which are hard to hit. But sometime soon, I believe (and I could be wrong), the manager of the home team (God the Father) will give the signal to His bullpen coach to have Jesus warm up and get ready for action.

So, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, 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 to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (I Corinthians 15:1-4; John 3:16). Blessings, Doug (12/4/22)

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and windy (21 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk with 34 mph winds, I saw: 3 deer! Thank You, Jesus!

This recent headline from The Christian Post was just like “spitting God in the face!” It read: “Biden official says taxpayer money should pay for body mutilating sex-change surgeries for kids.”

In the article, Ryan Foley reported: “The United States Department of Health and Human Services has expressed support for using taxpayer funds to cover the cost of body mutilating ‘gender transition’ surgeries for minors.

Let me remind you (if you really care and you should because it is the Word of God) that, after God had created the “beasts of the earth, the cattle and everything that creeps on the earth and saw that it was good,” we read in Genesis 1:26, 27: “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in Our image, according to our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created Him, male and female He created them. And God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth. And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good (Genesis 1:26-28, 31).

So, “what’s the big deal,” You might ask? Well, turn with me to Romans 1 in the New Testament and see what God has to say about “same sex relationships.” The apostle Paul wrote: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world God His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”

So, the question is: “Have you exchanged the truth of God for a lie, worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator?” If you have, then you most likely believe, despite what the Creator says, there is nothing wrong with homosexuality which is one more reason I believe (and I could be wrong) this world and country are headed for destruction. May we, as believers in Jesus, continue to watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Him until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please take God at His Word and agree with Him you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) Who died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (I Corinthians 15:1-4; John 3:16). Blessings, Doug (12/3/22)

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (32 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a deer and a shooting star! Thank You, Jesus!

These recent headlines got my attention this morning:

#1. G20 Signs Declaration for International Vaccine Passport (Dr. Joseph Mercola)

#2. Majority of COVID Deaths Are Now Among the Vaccinated in America (Daily Mail)

In the first article, Dr. Mercola wrote: “The G20, a group of 19 nations – including the U.S. – plus the European Union, recently held their annual meeting (B20) in Bali, Indonesia, where they declared that a digital vaccine passport, standardized by the World Health Organization, will be a part of international pandemic prevention and response moving forward. The rule for standardized international vaccine passports will be introduced as a revision to the international health regulations during the next World Health Assembly in Geneva. … President Biden signed the declaration despite the promises made by his White House COVID-Response Team-Leader, Jeff Zients who, in April 2021, stated, ‘Let me be clear that the government is not now, nor will be supporting a system that requires Americans to carry a vaccination credential.

The fact that the COVID shots do not prevent the spread of infection has now been established many times over. This alone proves that vaccine passports are not for the purpose of containing epidemics. An international vaccine passport is the gateway to complete totalitarian control, because the entire control grid around a person gets tied together by it.”

In the second article, the Daily Mail staff reported: “With more than 230 million Americans having received at least two COVID-19 shots, for the first time since the shots came out, more vaccinated than nonvaccinated persons are dying with infection. Just 11% of those eligible for new boosters have taken them and ‘White House Coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha claimed that ‘essentially every COVID death in America’ could be prevented if Americans get their bivalent (Webster: two chromosomes) booster and get treated for any breakthrough infections.’

Sadly, in an effort to lure more people into getting the boosters, the White House is now offering discounts on groceries for those who get them at CVS, Safeway, Rite Aid and Winn-Dixie.”

Wow! Did you get that? The President of the United States is bribing American citizens to get vaccinated when, in fact, these vaccines are not “safe and effective,” as the government would like you to think, but “experimental gene therapies” with no liability.” Hello! Wake up America!

If you have taken the vaccine(s), whether you realize it or not, you are now part of a nefarious plot towards population control, technocracy (which Webster defines as: “a proposed system of government in which all the economic resources, and hence the entire social system, would be controlled by scientists and engineers.” Can you say, “Follow the science?”

Oh, and the third part of this nefarious plot is “transhumanism” where you can become God which by the way, was Satan’s, aka the devil’s, idea from the beginning. Read Genesis 3 in the Bible.

Let me present you with an alternative to following the science which, I might add, will lead you to an eternity in hell: “Follow Jesus, the Son of God, Who died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (I Corinthians 15:1-4; John 3:16). Please know Jesus is coming! And, He will either be your Savior or Judge. My prayer is that He will be your Savior and I’ll see you in heaven. Please let me know if you have any questions at dougsdailydoings.home.blog. Love and blessings, Doug (12/2/22)

Good morning, blog readers, from partly cloudy/sunny and cold (14 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 3 deer and the heavens spectacularly declaring the glory of God (Psalm 19:1) Thank You, Jesus!

This headline from Reuters really got my attention this morning: “Elon Musk expects Neuralink’s brain chip to begin human trials in 6 months!”

In the article, Rachael Levy reported: “Elon Musk said on Wednesday he expects a wireless brain chip developed by his company Neuralink to begin human clinical trials in six months, after the company missed earlier timelines set by him. The company is developing brain chip interfaces that it says could enable disabled patients to move and communicate again, with Musk adding that it will also target restoring vision.” … Speaking to a crowd of select invitees in a presentation at Neuralink headquarters that lasted nearly three hours, Musk emphasized the speed at which the company is developing its device.”

The apostle John wrote, in Revelation 14:9-11, “Then another angel, a third one, followed them (the first two angels in Revelation 14:6-8), saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast (aka, the Antichrist) and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he will also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb (Jesus). And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

Could this be the “mark of the beast?” Time will tell. Now, personally, I do not believe (and I could be wrong) the church will be here when the Antichrist is revealed. But, I do believe we will be around to see some or all of the “signs” Jesus gave His disciples in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. So, stay tuned, dear brothers and sisters in Christ and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes.

And, if you are still not a believer in Jesus, please 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 in Christ, Doug (12/1/22)

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy, windy and cool (23 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a dog and heard a “beep” from a car acknowledging my wave! Thank You, Jesus!

Sadly, this morning, I read this headline from The New York Times: “Same-Sex Marriage Bill Passes Senate After Bipartisan Breakthrough.”

In the article, Annie Karni reported: “The Senate passed landmark legislation on Tuesday to mandate federal recognition for same-sex marriages, as a lame-duck Congress mustered a notable moment of bipartisanship before Democrats were to lose their unified control of Capitol Hill. The 61-36 vote put the bill on track to become law in the final weeks before Republicans assume the majority in the House of Representatives at the start of the new Congress in January. It marked one of the final major legislative achievements for Democrats before Republicans shift the focus in the House to conducting investigations of President Biden’s administration and family members.

And, while many are applauding this “grand event,” the Lord reminds us of how He feels about same-sex marriage and its consequences in Romans 1 which I suggest you read. Dr. Luke also records, in Luke 17: 26-28, “And just as it was in the days of Noah (when violence prevailed – much like today), so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man (Jesus): they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. It was the same as happened in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just the same on the day the Son of Man is revealed.”

And, for those who think the men and boys of Sodom were punished by God for their “lack of hospitality,” the Scriptures tell a different story, as we read, in Genesis 19:4: “Before the men (actually angels), the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; and they called to Lot and said to him, ‘Where are the men (angels) who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we might have relations with them.'” So, as Paul Harvey would say, “And now you know the rest of the story!”

God is so patient, not wanting anyone to perish (I Peter 3:9). But, we also read in Acts 18:30, 31, “Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men/women that all people everywhere should repent, because He (God) has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man (Jesus) whom He has appointed, having furnished proof by raising Him from the dead.”

Please know, based on the “signs of the times” in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, time is running out and Jesus is coming! So, if you haven’t already done so, please agree with God you are a sinner who needs a Savior Who is Jesus (Romans 3:23, 24) Who 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). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven. And, if you are already a believer in Jesus, “be on the alert” (Mark 13:33, 35, 37) and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. Blessings with love in Christ, Doug (11/30/22)

Good morning, blog readers, from cloudy and cool (38 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: a bunny! Thank You, Jesus!

These headlines from this morning’s news caught my prophetical eye:

#1. Israel, US to hold air drill simulating striking Iran nuclear program (Jerusalem Post)

#2. Iran publishes list of ‘sensitive’ sights in Israel to strike in future war (Jerusalem Post)

#3. Hawaii’s Mauna Loa erupts, officials warn people to prepare (Associated Press)

In the first article, Anna Ahronheim reported: “The drill, one of the largest Israeli Air Force drills in years, will include long-range flights such as those that Israeli pilots might need to make in order to reach Iran.”

In the second article, Seth J, Frantzman wrote: “Under the guise of reporting on reports by Beirut-based Al Mayadeen, a pan-Arabist satellite news channel, media outlets close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) have published a list of ‘sensitive sights’ that could be targeted in a future war. The reports listed a number of buildings and sites in Israel in what was clearly intended as a threat. … The article included a list of sites in Israel, such as the Knesset, the Prime Minister’s Office and the Defense Ministry. It included what Iran’s Tasnim News Agency characterized as ‘nuclear sites and facilities.'”

And, in the third article, Caleb Jones of the AP, reported: “Waves of orange, glowing lava, and smoky ash erupted Monday from the world’s largest volcano, and people living on Hawaii’s Big Island were warned to be ready should debris threaten communities. The US Geological Survey warned the roughly 200,000 people on the Big Island that an eruption ‘can be very dramatic, and the location and advance of lava flows can change rapidly.’ The eruption began late Sunday night (11/27) following a series of fairly large (not really) earthquakes,’ said Ken Hon, the scientist-in-charge at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.” Correction: Most of the earthquakes were “very minor” or “minor” with the exception of two “light” (4.0, 4.0), according to the USGS.

So, there it is – two more “rumors of war” which Jesus prophesied would happen before His return (Matthew 24:6, Mark 13:7 and Luke 21:9) and a volcano which, according to Dr. Henry Morris, in his commentary on Revelation 6:12, wrote: “The vast worldwide network of unstable earthquake belts around the world will begin to slip and fracture on a global basis and a gigantic earthquake will ensue. This is evidently, and naturally, accompanied by tremendous volcanic eruptions spewing vast quantities of dust and steam and gases in the upper atmosphere. It is probably these that will cause the sun to be darkened and the moon to appear blood-red.”

Yes, dearly beloved, Jesus is coming! The signs He gave us in Scripture all point to His glorious return. So, let’s get excited and continue to watch, wait, work, witness for, walk with and worship Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, c’mon now, swallow your pride and 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, Doug (11/29/22)

Good morning, blog readers, from clear and cold (24 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I did not see any of God’s creatures, but still was in awe at the heavens He created! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from Technocracy News, really caught my eye this morning: “Silicon Valley Whistleblower: ‘Smart Cities’ Worldwide Are Being Converted Into ‘Open Concentration Camps.'”

In the article posted by Leo Hohmann, he reported: “Technocracy is scientific dictatorship and it is rising up all around us. Americans need to take their eyes off of political dogfights and see that the Biden Administration is spending billions of dollars to embed ‘Smart City’ technology all across our nation. It is the infrastructure of a gulag without physical walls” – The TN (Technocracy News) Editor.

Aman Jabbi is a native of India and an engineer who worked in Silicon Valley for 25 years, coinventor of two cellphone camera apps. He emigrated to the United States in 1988 because he admired America’s culture of liberty and ingenuity. Jabbi now lives in Big Fork, Montana, and has become, in my opinion, one of the most important whistleblowers and voices of warning about the coming ‘beast system.’

His message needs to be heard by all Americans and I highly recommend my readers to find one hour during the day to hear him out in the video I have posted below. If you agree with me that his message is essential, please share this article and the video with your friends and family at ZEEMEDIA.com.

Jabbi continues: “Before you can break out of the matrix, you need to know that you live in a matrix, and that involves recognizing the tentacle of the matrix gaining a stranglehold on your life. Most of us spend way too much time focused on the wrong thing. We talk endlessly about what’s going on in Washington when we’ve invited the beast system (Revelation 13) right into our homes, even get it injected into our own bodies. We place ourselves on a path of destruction out of fear, lack of information (ignorance) and lack of discernment.”

Even if you live in a red state like Florida, Georgia, Tennessee or Texas, you will not be insulated or protected from the beast system because its claws are already dug into the infrastructure of all 50 states. We have people, well-intentioned people, in the conservative movement who make their living warning us about the socialists, the communist or the Islamists. Here’s the hard truth: We could eliminate every single socialist, communist and Islamist from America tomorrow and we will still be in a heap of trouble because the globalists already have the laws and technological infrastructure in place to convert our Republic into a technocratic slave state.” Can you say, “Follow the science?”

Wow! Wow! Wow! So, what are we, as Christians to do? I like what Peter had to say, in I Peter 4:12, 13, “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also, at the revelation of His glory, you may rejoice with exultation.”

Yes, dearly beloved in Christ, He is coming! And, while I believe in a “pre-trib rapture of the church,” I also believe we will be around for some trying times, suffering and persecution. So, let us keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. And, if you are not a believer in Jesus, please don’t let Satan and his demons deceive and frighten you because the Lord Jesus Who died on a cross for your sins, was buried and raised from the dead to forgive all your sins and give you eternal life (I Corinthians 15:1-4; John 3:16) will be there for you, not only to take you to heaven, but also to give you strength and grace until He comes. Blessings, Doug (11/28/22)

Good morning, blog readers, from dark and cool (38 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk, I saw: 8 deer! Thank You, Jesus! In case you’re wondering where my blog was yesterday, it was silent because my computer was not working. But, praise God, now it is! Thank You, Jesus!

This headline, from 6 years ago, got my attention then and now: “The ‘Big One’ near Vancouver you may not know about.”

In the article, Johanna Wagstaffe of the CBC (Canadian Broadcast Corporation) reported: “Some have heard of the ‘megathrust risk,’ but did you know about the ‘crustal earthquake.’? Not me on both accounts.

Wagstaffe continued: “The real Big One – the one that keeps engineers awake at night – is actually a magnitude 7.0 (“major”) crustal earthquake, with an epicenter close to Victoria (population: 80,017, as of 2010) and Vancouver (population: 603,502, as of 2010).

Daniel Stevens, Vancouver’s Director of Emergency Management said “it would be a bad scenario if a shallow earthquake were to happen near Vancouver. We would see damage to our bridges, damage to our roads, our telecommunications systems and, the biggest impact is going to be the buildings. The megathrust earthquake does get all the headlines, for good reason. Right now, two tectonic plates have become locked in place off the coast of Vancouver Island. As the oceanic Juan de Fuca plate tries to slide under the less dense North American plate we live on, its become stuck. And its been stuck now for three centuries (300 years?), building up stress, ready to go at any minute. When it does, the devastation to our infrastructure will be enormous. Coastal communities from Vancouver Island to California may become the victims of monster tsunamis that will be generated.”

So, why do I bring this up now? Because, yesterday, there was a “light” (4.9) earthquake in the Vancouver Island Region. Note: We are certainly due for a Big One not only in Canada, but also in the U.S. And Jesus said, “There will be “earthquakes in various places” before He returns (Matthew 24:7 and Mark 13:8).” And, get this, Dr. Luke, in his gospel (21:11), quoted Jesus as saying, “There will be ‘great (8.0+) earthquakes” before He returns. Stay tuned, dear brothers and sisters in Christ and keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes.

And, if you are still not a believer in Jesus, I wonder, “what will it take for you to become one” If you dare, read Revelation 6-19 and you will learn what the world will look like after we have gone to be with Jesus. It will not be pretty. In fact, it will be horrible. Jesus, in Matthew 24:21, called it “the worst time in human history. So, I beg of you, please 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). And, if you do, I’ll see you in heaven if not sooner. Love, prayers and blessings, Doug (11/27/22)
