ANOTHER MASSIVE CATEGORY 4 HURRICANE - JOSE!

After Hurricane Harvey tore up the coast of Texas, and Irma ripped across Leeward Islands, Barbuda, hitting Cuba and heading toward Florida; category 4 Hurricane Jose is set to wreak havoc on their heels, with sustained winds of 150 mph!

Hurricane warnings are in effect for Barbuda, Anguilla, St Maarten, St Martin and St Barthelemy; Antigua has been warned to watch; and tropical storm warnings have been issued for Antigua, Saba, St Eustatius; tropical storm watches are in effect for Montserrat, St Kitts, Nevis, the British Virgin Islands, St Thomas and St John, according to Weather.com.

We are seeing one of the largest evacuations in US history, as 5.6 million Florida residents have been ordered to evacuate, but many are stranded, having run out of fuel. Bloggers tried to warn of the danger days ahead, but the LLLs in mainstream news threatened them with criminal action!

Everyone needs to get in the habit of watching international weather reports to determine what might be coming your way. Perhaps the LL Lunatics will threaten you for warning yourself, but who cares! You will be safe!

Let us be reminded that storms are predicted for the last days:

“You will be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, earthquake, great noise, with storm and tempest, and a flame of devouring fire” Isaiah 29:6.

We are obviously very close to the Lord’s return, according to the record-breaking storms and fires, earthquakes, wars, rumors of wars, famine, pestilence and other signs in the earth and in heaven. Are you ready?

Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled and those remaining shall surely come to pass. Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth? If not, salvation is only a prayer away. Please visit the How Can I Be Saved page - your eternal destiny depends on it. God bless you.
