edition.CNN.com (excerpts):  Seoul, South Korea - Massive downpours in South Korea - the heaviest rains in a century - are blamed for 35 deaths, according to the country's Central Disaster Relief Agency.  Heavy rain was still falling Thursday morning across parts of the country.  It was raining in some areas around Seoul at a rate of two inches an hour (50 mm an hour) and was expected to continue Thursday.  The most recent numbers released by the Central Disaster Relief Agency indicated that much of the death toll comes from land slides, while 15 were killed by the same phenomenon in Seoul.  Five people were still missing, the agency said.  Five neighborhoods on the outskirts of Seoul were under evacuation orders.  Officials were able to restore electricity to many thousands of homes that had lost power.  Earlier, there were 116,000 homes without power, said the agency.  Early Thursday, that number stood at 1,190.  The agency reported that thousands of families had lost their homes.  The weather caused major traffic disruptions across portions of the country as well.  The Korea Meteorological Agency issued a special heavy rainfall alert for cities in the center of the country.  The forecast called for the downpour to continue at a rate of 60 mm (2.4 inches) per hour over the next day.  South Korea typically experiences a rainy season during the summer.

Commentary:  I have never heard of so many devastating and deadly storms, rains and flooding in my life!  You just have to know, with all of the prophetic signs occurring before our eyes, that the coming of the Lord is near.  These things are all foretold in the Word of God, "Behold, the Lord has a mighty tempest of hail and a destroying storm, a flood of mighty waters overflowing will be cast down to earth with His hand" Isaiah 28:2.  "You will be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, with earthquake and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire" Isaiah 29:6  Not only do we see torrential storms throughout the world, flooding, causing mudslides and wreaking havoc on the earth, but at the same time there have been massive, record breaking fires throughout the US, Mexico and Russia.  

 If you are a real skeptic; please consider this:  If you turn your life over to the Lord, receive Jesus as your Savior, accepting the price He paid on the cross for your and my sins, you will only gain peace in this life and eternal life forever.  However, if you reject God Almighty, you will not only suffer in this world, as God begins to pour out his wrath on an ungodly world, but you will burn in hell forever, not just a thousand years, but throughout eternity (Mark 9:45), for rejecting the death and redemption of the only begotten Son of God.  God is sovereign; He is God Almighty and He said that, "The soul that sins will die" Ezekiel 18:4.  Since all of us have sinned, we were condemned to death and separation from God; but the Son of God came into the world to pay the price for our sins, so we would not have to die and be separated from God eternally.  God is Holy.  The only thing you have to do is believe on Him, Jesus, and receive Him as your Savior and you will be saved.  There is only two options, heaven or hell; there is no in-between.  Is anything worth losing your soul for?  Is any reason good enough to spend forever in hell for?  I believe it is too great a risk to reject our Lord and Savior.  Receive Jesus today; tomorrow could be too late.
