Great article on where we find ourselves as a nation, economically.  Peter Schiff has been the most accurate of anyone I have seen.

Hail Mary Pass

Since the US economy has failed to recover as widely predicted, pressure on the Federal Reserve to conjure a solution has increased. In fact, the Fed now faces the hardest choices in its history. It can either redouble its past efforts to re-inflate America’s bubble economy (risking the destruction of the US dollar) or it can stop pumping and let the economy deflate to a self-sustaining level. Unfortunately, both choices guarantee severe economic pain – but only one offers the possibility of ultimate success.

Today’s news that the economy lost 95,000 jobs in September confirms that record doses of stimulus have failed to (more…)

South Carolina Man Fights to Keep Religious Signs on His Property

A South Carolina man says his constitutional rights have been violated after he was told by his local government to remove the Bible-themed signs he had posted on his property.

Oscar Moultrie says a Berkeley County, S.C., ordinance that requires residents to obtain government permission before putting up signs on their private property — other than “for sale,” “for rent,” political signs, and a few other exceptions — (more…)

Even talks on christian persecution, turn to focus on Israel, the “burdensome stone”.  In the last days, all the world will be focused on Jerusalem and Israel.  Either way several prophecies intertwined, as many are becoming these days… God’s perfect plan.

Papal Session on Muslim Terror Starts By Blasting Israelis

Pope Benedict XVI convened a synod (meeting) of Middle Eastern bishops to discuss the attacks on the Catholic church in Muslim lands. However, the bishops have been talking more against Israel than about Muslim aggression against Catholics – or at least, it was the anti-Israeli angle that the Associated Press news agency chose to play up.

According to the report, the pope denounced “terrorist ideologies” that spur violence in G-d’s name and said they were based on false gods and should be “unmasked.” However, he despite his own advice, he did not “unmask” the ideology threat by specifying that he was talking about Islamic terrorism.

Nobel Prof. Aumann: The Frantic Desire for Peace Only Brings War

Prof. Yisrael Aumann, Nobel Laureate and noted American-Israeli mathematician and game theorist, spoke at the beginning of the week during activities to mark the beginning of the academic year at Bar Ilan University. Aumann is also known for his view that the principles of game theory can be successfully applied to the peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

For an explanation of his theories written for the layman, click here.

More from US state department on peace process…

‘Both sides must take steps for negotiations to continue’

US State Department responds to Netanyahu’s offer to extend building freeze in exchange for recognition of Israel as “Jewish State”; PA publicly rejects proposal that had been discussed quietly.

State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said that “both sides need to take steps if we are to see the necessary conditions for negotiations to continue,” while apparently sidestepping a response to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu‘s offer to extending the building freeze, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

Netanyahu had said that he would extend the freeze if the Palestinians recognize “the Jewish state as our nation-state,” in a speech to the Knesset on Monday.

Palestinians give U.S. one month to curb settlements

* Arab League to reconvene in one month over deadlock

* Alternatives include Palestine recognition, Abbas quitting

By Lamine Ghanmi

SIRTE, Libya, Oct 9 (Reuters) – The Palestinians, backed by Arab powers, said on Saturday they would give the United States one month to persuade Israel to halt the building of settlements in the West Bank or risk the collapse of peace talks.

The message, issued at an Arab League meeting in Libya, represented a reprieve for Washington as it tries to salvage 5-week-old talks stalled over Israel’s refusal to extend a settlement freeze on occupied land where Palestinians seek statehood.

US Cities Face Half a Trillion Dollars of Pension Deficits

Big US cities could be squeezed by unfunded public pensions as they and counties face a $574 billion funding gap, a study to be released on Tuesday shows.

The gap at the municipal level would be in addition to $3,000 billion in unfunded liabilities already estimated for state-run pensions, according to research from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and the University of Rochester.

“What is yet to be seen is how this burden will be distributed between state and local governments and whether the federal government will be called upon for bail-outs,” said Joshua Rauh of the Kellogg School.

The financial demands of unfunded pension promises come as state and local governments grapple with years of falling tax revenue related to the recession.

California to Sell 24 Government Buildings for $2.3 Billion

The state announced Monday it is selling 24 government office buildings — including the Ronald Reagan State Building in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Civic Center — to a group of private investors for $2.3 billion.

Ron Diedrich, acting director of the California Department of General Services, announced it selected the offer from California First LLC, a partnership led by a Texas real estate firm and an Orange County private equity firm.

About $1 billion of the sale will be used to pay off bonds on the buildings, leaving more than $1.2 billion to go into the state’s general fund.

“After an extensive review of more than 300 bids that were received, I have determined that this offer presents the best value for the state,” Diedrich said in a statement.

China stakes claim to S. Texas oil, gas

HOUSTON — State-owned Chinese energy giant CNOOC is buying a multibillion-dollar stake in 600,000 acres of South Texas oil and gas fields, potentially testing the political waters for further expansion into U.S. energy reserves.

With the announcement Monday that it would pay up to $2.2 billion for a one-third stake in Chesapeake Energy assets, CNOOC lays claim to a share of properties that eventually could produce up to half a million barrels a day of oil equivalent.

29 countries’ hunger levels ‘alarming’: report

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Twenty-nine countries show alarming levels of hunger and more than a billion people were hungry in 2009, according to a new report on global hunger.

World leaders are far from a 1990 goal of halving the number of hungry people by 2015, according to the annual Global Hunger Index published by the International Food Policy Research Institute and other aid groups.

“The index for hunger in the world remains at a level characterized as ‘serious,'” the report states. “Most of the countries with ‘alarming’ GHI scores are in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.”

Ok, this is a huge sign of the trouble we are in.  Our own Federal Reserve is the second largest owner of our debt and only $25 billion behind China?  How many times have you heard that China owning so much of our debt is a bad thing?  I bet this is the first time most have heard that the Fed owns basically, just as much?  Why?

Federal Reserve Is Now Second Largest Holder Of US Treasury Bonds

The Federal Reserve holds $821.128 billion of US Treasury Bonds, surpassing Japan today to become the second largest holder of US Treasury Bonds. The Federal Reserve is $25 billion away from surpassing China for the number one spot.

It’s Official: Fed Is Now Second Largest Holder Of US Treasury Bonds

Today’s POMO is over: at $2.069 billion, the operation was right in line with our expectations, coming in at a lofty 12.16 submitted to accepted ratio, as investors apparently are not too crazy about the yield perspective of the 4 2013 CUSIPs that were repruchased. However, what is far more important is that with holdings of $821.1 billion, the Fed is now officially the second largest holder of US Treasurys. Next up- China.

While the official breakdown will likely be a few weeks late in coming, here is the math:

Fed holdings as of September 30: $811,669

Add:

Total: $821.128 Billion, which compares to Japan total $821.0 Billion as of July 2010

Congratulations, America: your central bank is just $25 billion away from being the Treasury’s largest creditor, and thus able to dominate any and all future debt restructuring negotiations with what is, essentially, itself.

Who would have thought that such a small thing could have such a big impact on our economy.  It just shows how dependent we have become on the government.  This is huge, and it will probably just be a blip, if even that, for most folks on a news ticker…

No COLA – Bernanke gets Trumped?

Social Security announced that there will be no increase in benefit levels for another year. The reason? Deflation. Based on the Cost of Living index no increase in checks is justified. You might get an argument on that from the 60+% of the beneficiaries whose primary source of income is SS. This will impact the macro economic picture.

In the period 2000-2008 the average COLA increase was 3%. Because of the big eco dump it has been zero for 2010 and now again for 2011.

SSA will pay ~$700b in benefits this year. 3% of that comes to $21b. That is a pretty important number. Most of the SS checks are spent. Little of it is saved, so this will impact consumption on a nearly 1 to 1 basis. $21b is 1/4% of our GDP (includes multiplier). Poof!

Does this matter? Sure it does. Economists who forecast growth will have to knock down their numbers by at least ¼% (more…)

Prophecy Sign: Revelation 6:6 “And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.” Please go back and read my warnings about the price of food climbing to skyrocketing prices.  These prices are going up again and will continue to climb the closer we get to the seven year tribulation.  Do you think it is a coincidence that wheat prices are going out of sight?  This is what we see happening from Jesus’ warning.

Good commentary on what we may see and how much control we have slowly “given” to the government.  Take a look at the video below, it is amazing once you see it all together.  A hundred, baby steps…

Prophecy Sign: In Revelation Jesus warning us who it is that will control what you can buy or sell. Since the US is on the edge of another depression and the dollar is slowing dying off you need to understand what the US Government has in store when the nation is tossed into chaos. Events being played out all over the world are leading to the final events Jesus warned about in the Book of Revelation. In order for one man, the Antichrist, to take control of the world there must be some event or events that will rise him to power. I believe one of those main events will be the collapse of the US dollar and the way of life as Americans now know it.  America better stop and take a look at the rioting going on in the European Union as their economic crisis also shows signs of collapsing. When the world finds itself in chaos over the failed global economy the world will rise up and ask for someone to restore order and bring in a new world economic order.  Jesus warned about a man who would be coming that would have such control as this man will be given the power to stop people from buying or selling anything unless they have this man’s mark. Without this mark you are not going to be able to be part of the world’s new economic structure, which means you are on your own to fend for yourself. Take a good look at the words of Jesus Christ on this matter found in Revelation 13:16-17. “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”   God showed the Prophet Daniel that this man would be rising from the revived Roman Empire. Most of the people around the world aren’t even aware this empire has already arrived and is getting ready to fulfill it role of powers that were outlined for us in the Book of Daniel.  What do you think is going to happen when the most powerful nation in the world falls apart?  Do you not understand that her collapse is going to affect you in whatever nation you live in?  The plans that the US Government have drawn up for a time of unrest are just a peace of the puzzle. Nations around this planet have their own plans to handle the civil unrest that is approaching like a run away train. Watch the video and learn what the US has done to prepare for the civil unrest. One other note. Jesus also told us in Matthew 24:7 that we would witness this unrest as one of the last day signs. In part of this verse Christ said, “kingdom against kingdom” this is the civil unrest.

Prophecy Sign:  In chapter 18 of the Book of Revelation we see people weeping over items which will be taken away from them.  As you can see gold and silver are two of the items. I quote, “The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more– cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble” (Rev. 18:11-12).  Watch the video and find out what you need to know about gold and silver.  The prices are going to go up and people will weep when it is taken from them as it states in the above prophecy.

See full size image Prophecy Sign: Luke 21:11 “There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.” There is no doubt the US has seen its share of weird weather this year from the huge storms, high winds, and flooding, and we are going to see more of the same as the birth pains get worse.

Strange things are taking place and we just saw once of these fearful events happen in a place that does not see these things that often. “In BELLEMONT, Ariz. – A rare swarm of tornadoes shoved semis off highways and destroyed homes in the pre-dawn darkness Wednesday, leaving startled residents wondering if they were in Arizona anymore or had woken up in the twister-prone Midwest. After one tornado rumbled through Bellemont around 5:30 with wind speeds of up to 110 miles per hour, residents armed with flashlights emerged from their homes to check on the damage — a house splintered, windows smashed, garage doors twisted, but no major injuries.”  Start adding up all these signs and you get a clear picture of what Jesus was warning us about in Matthew 24:33!

Prophecy Sign: In Zechariah 12:3 God warned that anyone who burdens themselves with Jerusalem will be cut into pieces.

Amazing Biblical events are going on surrounding Israel and her enemies, we know three major events are still yet to occur, the destruction of Damascus (Isaiah 17:1), Psalm 83 War, and Ezekiel 38 War…

Frank DiMora’s Blog – 10-08-10

assad - AP - Octbioer 8 2010 Prophecy sign: People are asking, why Israel would destroy Damascus as we see happening from the Isaiah 17:1 and Jeremiah 49: 24-27? Syrian has already stated they are going to take back land lost during a previous war wheather the peace talks or with not. Syria is now making moves to move on Israel and you would have to be blind not to this see this. For example, today we see the following: “The Syrian army has a Scud missile base near Damascus, according to recent satellite photos. The photos also suggest that Hezbollah activists are being trained in the Scuds’ use at the base. Reports that Syria may have given Hezbollah Scuds ratcheted up tensions between Jerusalem and Damascus about six months ago, according to foreign media. The photos, taken on March 22, can be seen by any web surfer on Google Earth. They show extensive construction at several military bases throughout Syria, including at one of the country’s three largest missile bases, located 25 kilometers northeast of Damascus, near the city of Adra. The base is in a deep valley surrounded by 400-meter-high mountains. Concrete tunnels lead from the base into the mountains, where the Scuds are apparently stored.”

Israel releases 1973 war papers to warn Syria, Hizballah: Hands off Beirut!
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report October 6, 2010, 10:42 AM (GMT+02:00)

Tags: Israel Lebanon Syria

Bashar Assad lays ground for Hizballah coup in Beirut

“Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak decided to release the minutes of the deliberations on an air blitz against Damascus – held in Jerusalem before and during the Yom Kippur War 37 years ago – as a strong warning to Syrian President Bashar Assad, debkafile’s military and intelligence sources reveal. Then, a decision to take out Damascus to halt the Syrian offensive was overruled. This time could be different: Bashar Assad regime’s own centers of power could be at risk if Syria and Hizballah go through with their plan to overpower Beirut and topple Saad Hariri’s sovereign government. That is the message relayed by the October 1973 war papers released this week, which go beyond uncovering secret operational and intelligence decision-making and are  unusually wide-ranging.”

unbelievable!

I can’t believe they are talking about this, there is nothing worst for our dollar and our purchasing power.  What little savings Americans have is being eroded (stolen) while it sits in banks.  Check out the graph below, from a WSJ article, it shows the cliff we are facing.

If this quadruple whammy hits:

tax increases (from Obama and bush tax cuts expiring)(end of year),

Obama care takes effect (end of year),

our trade war with China is escalated (underway), and

the Fed’s Inflation Fix (between now and end of year)

we will go over the edge of the cliff…(just like in 1937…)

Fed Officials Mull Inflation as a Fix

The Federal Reserve spent the past three decades getting inflation low and keeping it there. But as the U.S. economy struggles and flirts with the prospect of deflation, some central bank officials are publicly broaching a controversial idea: lifting inflation above the Fed’s informal target.

The rationale is that getting inflation up even temporarily would push “real” interest rates—nominal rates minus inflation—down, encouraging consumers and businesses to save less and to spend or invest more.

Both inside and outside the Fed, though, such an approach is controversial. It could undermine the anti-inflation credibility the Fed won three decades ago by raising interest rates to double-digits to beat back late-1970s price surges. “It’s a big mistake,” said Allan Meltzer of Carnegie Mellon University, a central bank historian. “Higher inflation is not going to solve our problem. Any gain from that experience would be temporary,” adding that the economy would suffer later.

The US dollar is in a tail spin, it is down against almost all major currencies and with the word out that the current administration is looking to use inflation to pay off deficit, there is no up is sight.  Buckle up, we are headed for hyper inflation…

Dollar tumbles to fresh 15-year low against yen

TOKYO (AFP) – The dollar tumbled to a fresh 15-year low at 82.22 against the yen in Tokyo trading hours on Thursday on persistent fears over the US economic outlook.

The dollar fell from 82.87 in earlier trade to well below the level at which Japan last month carried out its first currency market intervention since 2004 to weaken the yen and protect an export-led recovery.

It later strengthened back to the mid 82-yen level.

The markets increasingly expect the US Federal Reserve to pump more money into the system to boost the flagging economy, even if doing so weakens the dollar and risks fanning inflation.

“The basic trend is dollar selling on the expected credit easing… The market is now sensitive to any negative news on the US economy,” said Yasuyuki Takeuchi, dealer at Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking.

The Australian dollar on Thursday surged to an all time high of around 99.00 US cents, traders said, outstripping the record of 98.49 since it was allowed to float in December 1983.

The euro was trading close the key 1.40 dollar level, at around 1.3983.

“A lot of the trading community thinks this has further to go,” Daragh Maher, a senior currencies analyst at Credit Agricole in London told Dow Jones Newswires.

More strengthening between Turkey and Iran as well as China.  Turkey is continuing to move away from the west and embrace its fellow Islamic nations.  This is setting up the Ezekiel alliance, as predicted by God.

_________________________________________________________________

Growing ties between Turkey, China, Iran worry Israel and U.S.

Turkey held military drill with China, after canceling with Israel; cooperation also reflected in weapons deals, with Iran buying from China mainly missile technology.

The United States and Israel are watching with concern the growing military cooperation among Turkey, China and Iran, especially following a joint Turkish-Chinese air-force exercise last week.

Until two years ago Israel was Turkey’s main partner for air combat training.

In 2001 the Turkish air force inaugurated a tactical air warfare center in Konya with Israel and the United States.

Until 2008 the Israel Air Force was a frequent guest in Turkey’s sky and a regular participant in the country’s big annual exercise, Anatolian Eagle.

In the wake of Operation Cast Lead and the subsequent deterioration of bilateral relations Turkey last year revoked Israel’s participation in the maneuvers. The United States decided not to take part in the exercise this year because of that decision. A number of other NATO members followed suit.

Turkey replaced the Israel Air Force with its Chinese counterpart. China sent Sukhoi SU-27 fighter aircraft and pilots to train with Turkey’s F-16 fighters. In the past these exercises were held in relatively openness, but last week they were held covertly, with only a brief report appearing in the Turkish media after the exercise.

Palestinian state within 2 months?

TEL AVIV – The White House is planning intensive Israeli-Palestinian talks that aim to create the borders of a future Palestinian state within two months, according to Palestinian Authority officials speaking to WND.

While such talks seem ambitious, the negotiations are timed around the possible acceptance by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of a two-month freeze-extension barring Jewish construction in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem.

A PA source conceded the talks likely will not lead to an agreement within two months.

“The U.S. proposed intensive negotiations regarding borders, meaning in the coming two months borders will be clear and maybe even closed,” said the source. “It’s very ambitious and is a lot to expect.”

The U.S. called on Netanyahu to extend a freeze on settlement construction in the West Bank. As a U.S.-imposed precondition for negotiations, Netanyahu in late 2009 had agreed to a 10-month West Bank construction moratorium that expired at the end of last month.

‘Flag of Islam’ Over the White House Vow

On last night’s “O’Reilly Factor,” host Bill O’Reilly lambasted ABC TV host Christiane Amanpour regarding her handling of recent comments by a British Muslim cleric that Islam will “conquer” America.

“The liberal media … is buying into the gentile Islam,” he told guest Charles Krauthammer. “The media in America is close to [becoming] the media in Europe, which as you know is a very significant factor in this kind of situation.”

On Sunday, Muslim cleric Anjem Choudary claimed that Sharia law will one day rule the East and West and “the flag of Islam will fly over the White House.” (See video below.)

“That is a provocative statement that Miss Amanpour certainly didn’t challenge the way she should have,” O’Reilly said. “That’s what gets me about ABC news. … They let this stuff go and I don’t think they should”:

4 tornadoes tear across N. Arizona, damage homes

BELLEMONT, Ariz. – A rare swarm of tornadoes shoved semis off highways and destroyed homes in the pre-dawn darkness Wednesday, leaving startled residents wondering if they were in Arizona anymore or had woken up in the twister-prone Midwest.

After one tornado rumbled through Bellemont around 5:30 with wind speeds of up to 110 miles per hour, residents armed with flashlights emerged from their homes to check on the damage — a house splintered, windows smashed, garage doors twisted, but no major injuries.

“Running through the house, all the Kansas movies go through your head telling you: ‘Move to the basement,'” Breanna Hunt said. “But we don’t have a basement.”

Another tornado struck minutes later east of the small town of a few hundred people nestled in the Ponderosa pines just west of Flagstaff. Weather forecasters confirmed a total of four twisters, including one reported around noon along Interstate 17 south of Flagstaff.

Our christian brothers and sisters around the world are feeling the persecution.  But I would say, we too are feeling it here in the US but in a much more subtle, deadly way.  We are slowly being told we can not be open with our faith, we have to be guarded with our views, as the very mention could “offend” someone, or cause unforeseen consequences.  I hope we can stand strong, and not bend to the pressure.

On a side note, it always amazes me that in the public debate, that in christian nations, any religion can be practices without persecution, but in Islamic nations, only Islam can be practiced.  That is never noted.  Who is truly tolerant?  Tolerance doesn’t mean you have to agree, just allow the practicing of the religion.

Saudis arrest Filipino Catholics at mass: report

The raid took place as some 150 Filipinos were attending the mass in a Riyadh rest house

Riyadh: Saudi police raided a secret Catholic mass in Riyadh last week and arrested a dozen Filipinos and a Catholic priest, charging them with prosyletising, a local daily reported on Wednesday.

The raid took place as some 150 Filipinos were attending the mass in a Riyadh rest house on Friday, the second day of the weekend in Saudi Arabia, Arab News said.

The twelve Filipino men and the priest, whose nationality was not specified, were “charged with prosyletising,” the daily quoted an official from the Philippine embassy in Riyadh as saying.

Report: Islamic numbers, influence surging

Situation really bad for Christians where Muslims are now in the majority in Europe

Muslims are taking over parts of the world into which they move simply by outnumbering the previous residents, concludes a new study by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

Study coordinator Brian Grim says that of the estimated 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide, most are South Asian, largely in India and Indonesia. The second largest Muslim group comes from the Middle East.

Fitch Downgrades Ireland’s Rating on Cost of Banking Bailout

Fitch Ratings lowered Ireland’s credit grade to the lowest of any of the major rating companies and said there’s a risk of a further reduction.

Ireland was cut to A+ from AA-, reflecting the “exceptional and greater-than-expected cost” of the nation’s bailout of its banking system, Fitch said in a statement today.

The move comes a day after Moody’s Investors Service said it may cut the country’s rating. Ireland may have to spend as much as 50 billion euros ($69 billion) to repair its financial system, pushing the budget deficit this year to 32 percent of gross domestic product. Fitch said the rating could be lowered again if the economy stagnates and political support for budgetary consolidation weakens.

“Ireland is at the lowest point, it shouldn’t get any worse,” Alan McQuaid, chief economist at Bloxham Stockbrokers in Dublin, said in a phone interview. “We’re not funding at the moment. We’re in a comfortable situation.”

Deception is all around us.  A wolf in sheep’s clothes, we must remain watchful to make sure we and those we love are not misled…  Christ warned us that in the last days, deception would increase, the church would begin to fall away, and many would follow false christs.  Satan is working overtime to make these come to pass by infiltrating Christian organizations…be watchful.  Stand firm on the Truth, God’s Word, the Bible.

Matthew 24:4-5 (NIV) – “4Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”

‘Christian’ media swings left

David Neff is editor-in-chief for Christianity Today. The magazine is still considered to be mainstream and representative of evangelicals. It was founded when Ike was president, and it is amazing how many Christians consider CT to be their friend. In reality, it is center-left and fairly contemptuous of the issues conservative Christians hold dear.

Witness Neff’s recent Facebook post, in which he cites a Wall St. Journal piece about the Ground Zero mosque. Neff said that “all the negative attention” the mosque project has received has in fact helped amass a war chest for the building of the mosque. Again, Neff was citing the WSJ article, but one wonders why he seems to aim a weird web of blame at Americans who find the mosque both offensive and potentially dangerous.

Of course, the editorial staff at CT has a long history of center-left stances.

Christianity a ‘Faded Memory’ for Most Young Britons

LONDON – Most young people in Britain consider Christianity irrelevant to their lives but they are not as hostile towards religion as their parents’ generation, researchers in the Church of England have found.

The researchers surveyed 300 young people from Generation Y – those born after 1982 – who had attended a Christian youth or community project. The five-year study looked at their faith in relation to Christianity and the impact of Christian youth and community work on their faith development.

It found that young people were more likely to put their faith in friends, their family or themselves than in God.

In Holy Land, Christians a community in decline

BEIT SAHOUR, West Bank (Reuters) – In the land where Jesus lived, Christians say their dwindling numbers are turning churches from places of worship into museums.

And when Christian pilgrims come from all over the world to visit the places of Christ’s birth, death and resurrection, they find them divided by a concrete wall.

Members of the Abu al-Zulaf family, Palestinian Christians, have left the hills and olive groves of their village near Bethlehem for Sweden and the United States, seeking a better life than that on offer in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Ayman Abu al-Zulaf, 41, moved to France in 1998. But he returned to Beit Sahour, the village where he was born, a year later. “I needed to be here, not in France,” he said. “Without Christians, the Holy Land, the land of Jesus, has no value.”

That’s his message to Christian pilgrims he meets through his work as a tour guide. “Christians have a very major mission here in Palestine. We are the bridge to the West,” he said.

Today, Christians make up just 1 percent of the mainly Muslim population of the Palestinian territories, said Hanna Eissa, who is in charge of Christian affairs in the Palestinian Authority’s religious affairs ministry.

Floods and landslides kill at least 86 in Indonesia

At least 86 people are now known to have died in flooding in the eastern Indonesian province of West Papua.

Flash floods and landslides in the Teluk Wondama district have left another 80 people injured and sent thousands into evacuation centres.

Many more are missing after a river burst its banks, triggering a landslide and uprooting trees.

A navy warship has arrived near the disaster area, carrying tents, medical supplies and food.

The sudden flooding caught residents by surprise, officials said, contributing to the high death toll.

Doomsday Clocks: Are We Heading for Another Great Depression?

Is America heading toward another Great Depression? The answer may not be a definite “yes” or “no,“ but rather an eerie ”maybe.”

In yesterday’s Wall Street Journal, Donald Luskin laid out an argument for why, should we continue on our path, America might be poised to repeat the mistakes it made that lead up to and perpetuated the Great Depression. In other words, if history is a great teacher, we could be its worst students.

What may allow the “history repeats itself” cliche to ring true, he says, is the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts and a renewed aggression toward trade via a recent amendment to the Smoot-Hawley Act — a union favor: both “doomsday clocks” with a deafening tick-tock, tick-tock.

When speaking about the end times or last days, Christ mentioned an increase in violence as part of the birth pains, we have seen then in the number of wars, increasing significantly each century.

According to a Wikipedia list of wars, the past 500 years have witnessed an increase in the frequency of wars:

15th Century – 29 wars

16th Century – 59 wars

17th Century – 75 wars

18th Century – 69 wars

19th Century – 294 wars

20th Century – 278 wars

The first decade of the 21st Century has already witnessed 55 wars, putting humanity on course for 550  wars over the next one hundred year period.

But here is another sign, the fact that we are facing permanent refugee era, due to ongoing violence in certain regions.

World faces ‘near permanent’ refugee era: UNHCR

UN refugee chief Antonio Guterres warned governments on Monday that unrelenting conflicts in Afghanistan and Africa were creating a near permanent “global” refugee burden.

Highlighting decades of displacement for millions of Afghans and Somalis, Guterres told the UNHCR’s annual governing Executive Committee that last year was the worst in two decades for returns.

About 250,000 refugees went back home in 2009, about one quarter of the annual average over the past 10 years, according to the agency.

They included just 61 Somalis.

“The changing nature and the growing intractability of conflict make achieving and sustaining peace more difficult in today?s world,” Guterres said.

Global Security System?

More globalism talk is popping up everywhere.  There was also the mention of the “incredible speed” at which the modern world is changing.  God prophesied about this through Daniel…

Daniel 12:4 (NIV) – “But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”

or

Daniel 12:4 (KJV) – “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”
