A
major 6.9 earthquake hit Loyalty Islands on Saturday, March 3, 2012,
at 12:19:55 UTC, at a depth of 15.2 km (9.4 mi). This is the second major earthquake (6.7 and 6.9) to hit in the last week.
Jesus said these
signs would appear before He returns, "Nation
will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be
famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places" Matthew 24:7.
You may have noticed that the frequent major earthquakes throughout the world are hitting in various places. This is exactly what Jesus said would happen. The graph below shows the drastic
increase in earthquake activity
between 2010 and 2011 (look closely at the 2011 increase on the graph
near the border).

From the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes, tornadoes ripped across Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana and Ohio on Friday. Powerful tornadoes leveled towns in southern Indiana, and an Associated Press reporter in Henryville said the high school was destroyed and the second floor had been ripped off the middle school next door. Authorities said the school was in session, but there were only minor injuries there. Classroom chairs were scattered on the ground outside, trees were uprooted and cars had huge dents from baseball-sized hail. The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center said the storms put 10 million people at high risk of dangerous weather. Two days ago, 13 people were killed by tornadoes in the South and Midwest.
The deadly storms have not let up this week. We need to pray that people across this nation and throughout the world will seek God, while there is still time to pray. The Bible tells us that tribulation such as the world has never seen will come upon this earth, and these storms are mild in comparison. During the tribulation period, the wrath of God will be poured out on all the earth because of the wicked, who refuse to repent. Jesus said, "...then there will be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever will be" Matthew 24:21. People can get angry with me all they want to because I am issuing warnings about what is coming upon the earth, but remember, Jesus also issued the same warnings. Many preachers today are telling their congregations only the niceties and things they want to hear. Jesus didn't spare, and He expects His pastors to preach the same message He preached, "Take heed." Jesus said, "Take heed, watch and pray, for you do not know when the time is (the day of His return)" Mark 13:33. "Therefore, saith the Lord GOD, I will even rend it with a stormy wind in My fury and there will be an overflowing shower in My anger, and great hailstones" Ezekiel 13:13.

Martain Springer and Mark Berndt, two of the teachers charged from Miramonte Elementary School.
Six additional Los Angeles School District employees have been arrested and charged for lewd acts and unlawful sex. These charges were filed in the wake of the arrest of Miramonte Elementary School teacher Mark Berndt, who was charged with lewd acts upon 23 children. Subsequent to Berndt's arrest, another teacher at the same school, Martain Springer, was also arrested and charged. Another five teachers or teacher's aides have been moved to non-teaching settings, while authorities continue their investigations of more complaints throughout the district.
Unrelated cases also include the arrest of band leader Corey Hogan on February 27, with Dantzler Prep Charter School in Washington. He was charged with having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student. Hogan is out of jail on $100,000 bail. Gabriela Cortez, Spanish teacher, was arrested on February 22, and accused of having sexual relationships with two students at Roosevelt High School. One of the students approached Montebello Police because his conscience was bothering him, reported the Associated Press. Also on February 22, an athletic assistant, Jose Rosario Alvarez, was arrested for having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student at a Los Angeles County School. Alain Salas, Teacher's Aide at Fremont High School, was arrested on February 13, for three counts of lewd acts and one count of contacting a 15-year-old student for a sexual offense. Paul Adame, a janitor with Germain Street Elementary School, was arrested on February 6, for committing a lewd act with a child on campus. Paul Chapel, a third grade teacher with Telfair Elementary School, was arrested on October 8, 2011, for continuous sexual abuse against three girls and one boy from 2010 to 2011. Chapel is currently in jail in lieu of $2.2 million bail, reported HuffingtonPost.com.
You have to know that a very sinister, evil force is at work in the world today, when so very many teachers throughout the nation are being arrested for sexually abusing children. These are just a tip of the iceberg. It is so outrageous, it is almost unspeakable the vast numbers involved throughout the nation. There are extremely long lists of teachers who have been charged and/or arrested in sexual abuse cases in the US. If you are inclined to see spiritually, it is obvious that this is way far out of the norm and wickedness abounds in the world, which affects a lot of people who leave themselves open for spiritual attack, because they are not servants of God. Some people don't realize that if they do not serve the Lord, they are servants of satan by default, according to the Word of God, "Don't you know that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are, whether of sin which leads to death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" Romans 6:16. Speaking of the last days, the Bible says, "The land will mourn and all who dwell in it will languish, with the beasts of the field, the fowls of heaven, yes, the fishes of the sea will also be taken away" Hosea 4:3. It is obvious to see that the world is mourning and languishing - America's children are languishing. This may also be referred to as a "sin-sick world," which affects everything.

President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act just before Christmas last year, while no one was paying attention, which included indefinite detention of American citizens on exclusive order of the president. Now that Obama is campaigning and he finds this a real "root of contention" among voters, he has decided to put forth some rules and waivers attached to the bill. The section of the bill which allows for indefinite detention of Americans without a trial, Section 1022, is at the heart of the controversy, reported HuffingtonPost.com.
This is the most ludicrous campaign rhetoric! The man just signed the bill two months ago, and now he is making all of these concessions and "waivers!" Right. What people are too dead asleep to understand is that once the elections have passed and if he is reelected, he can just as easily "unwaive" his waivers! Does anyone remember how he disregarded the natural born citizen requirements of the US Constitution? How about when he disregarded the War Powers Act and declared war on Syria, on his own, without Congressional approval? The man is about as reliable as a broken tooth or foot out of joint! He has broken 62, yes 62 campaign promises since 2008, when he took office (source: politifact.com - Obameter). The Word of God says, "Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth and a foot out of joint" Proverbs 25:19.

Joanna Ramos, 10, victim of after school fight, ruled a homicide.
The death of a ten-year-old Long Beach, California girl involved in an after-school fight has been ruled a homicide by the coroner. Joanna Ramos's mother rushed her to the hospital Friday evening, after the girl began vomiting and complained of a headache. She had a blood clot and underwent surgery on her brain, but died of complications shortly after surgery. Joanna was pronounced dead at 9 pm Friday, about six hours after she and another 11-year-old girl fought after school in an ally, reported FoxNews.com. "I personally don't hear of 11-year-old fights like this, especially girls. I can't say they never happen, but I think everyone was caught off guard by this event," police spokeswoman Nancy Pratt said Sunday.
Of course she never hears of such fights. We are living in the last days before the return of the Lord, friends, and according to the scriptures, this world and the people and animals in it will "mourn and languish." "The land will mourn and everyone in it will languish, with the beasts of the field, the fowls of heaven, yes, the fishes of the sea will also be taken away" Hosea 4:3. Especially since the start of last year, we see mass animal deaths occurring all over the planet and violence and crimes are escalating at alarming rates, not to mention the perplexity of nations, especially in the Middle East, which is at the center of Bible prophecy. The economic crises around the globe have also been foretold in the scriptures (Ezekiel 7:19). It is time to pray, get close to God and witness to family and friends about everyone's need for the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ. The Word of God tells us that those who refuse the Lord Jesus, who died for our sins, will be cast into hell forever (Psalm 9:17, Mark 9:45) If you haven't received the Lord, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website. God bless you.

Daniel Parmertor, victim. Russell King Jr., victim.
On Tuesday, Chardon Police Chief Tim McKenna announced that 17-year-old Russell King Jr., who was airlifted to a hospital after the shooting, "has passed." Daniel Parmertor, another 16-year-old student, died only hours after the shooting. A third student, Demetrius Hewlin, who was wounded in the shooting rampage, died Tuesday morning. A lawyer for the family identified the shooter as T.J. Lane, a 17-year-old junior at the high school. Law enforcement officials described the suspect as a "victim of bullying" and "an outcast," reported FoxNews.com. About 100 students were in the school cafeteria just before classes began at about 7:30 am, when witnesses said that the suspect opened fire at a group of students sitting at a table.
The Bible says, "Know this, that in the last days perilous times will come, for men will be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents (kids gone wild), unthankful, unholy" 2 Timothy 3:1-2. We are living in the last days before the return of Christ, friends. If you don't know the Lord and you aren't saved, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.

A powerful tornado hit Branson, Missouri, wreaking havoc on this motel.
Apparently tornadoes hit so suddenly throughout the Midwest in
the very early morning hours on Wednesday, that initially weather
reports were reluctant to say exactly what type of storm system hit Missouri and
Illinois. What else do they suppose could have leveled an entire shopping
center, homes, and taken out the power of an entire city, except a
tornado - or the hand of God? If that's what they are suggesting, it
doesn't take much to convince me.
Six people were reported dead in the small town of Harrisburg, Illinois,
one of the areas hardest hit at about 5 am Wednesday. Three people
were killed in Missouri and at least three people critically injured in
Harveyville, Kansas.
The National Weather Service has confirmed that a 22-mile long tornado hit Branson, Missouri. Three people were reportedly killed in Tennessee
after the storm moved east. From Tuesday night through Wednesday
morning, at least 16 tornado sightings were reported from Nebraska and
Kansas, across southern Missouri into Illinois and Kentucky, according
to the National Weather Service. Ninety-five tornadoes hit in January
and two people were killed in separate tornadoes last month. A
devastating twister hit Joplin, Missouri last May that killed 161
people.
The storm also hit northern Arkansas. A wall cloud, which often
produces tornadoes, was reported in Cherokee Village, where trees fell
and were scattered along the streets. Residents of Clay County reported
hail the size of golf balls.
The Bible tells us, concerning the last days, that these storms will hit,
"Thus saith the Lord GOD, I will even rend it with a stormy wind in My
fury and there will be an overflowing shower in My anger, and great hailstones in My fury to consume it" Ezekiel 13:13. "The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and will not acquit the wicked; the Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm and the clouds are the dust of His feet" Nahum 1:3.

Yep, you're just gonna looooove Obamacare! By the way, they are bringing down America, but they aren't self-destructive. President Obama, his family and Congress and their families are all exempt from Obamacare. It is only for slaves - yes you and me!
Speaking in the United States Senate in June, Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, cited wait times for procedures at a hospital in Kingston, Ontario, to show the failings of Canada's publicly funded healthcare system. He said that patients in that college town (and prison center) east of Toronto wait nearly a year for knee replacement surgery, six months for hip replacements, and three months for brain, prostate and breast cancer surgeries. When it comes to cardiac bypass, Mr. McConnell warned that patients in Ontario are told they have to wait six months for surgery Americans get right away. Even leading advocates of publicly funded healthcare in Canada readily acknowledge that wait times are one of its biggest problems. Michael Rachlis, a physician, healthy policy consultant and adjunct professor at the University of Toronto stated, "I won't deny the problems we have in our system with waits and delays and chronic disease management," reported NYTimes.com.
Do people die in Canada waiting for treatment? You bet they do. Apparently their "welfare state" healthcare system, much like Obamacare, is more important to big government in Canada than the lives lost ....waiting....for....healthcare....services. Waiting doesn't sound so bad maybe? Possibly you don't think so, unless you are the one who can hardly breathe because of your cardiac situation, but you are told you need to wait six months, as you feel you are dying on the spot - and might very well!
Obamacare is NOT free, as many people believe. After the healthcare bill passed, many people jammed the phones at their local Health Services Agency asking about the "free Obamacare." They were all told that they are going to be PAYING for it; it is not free! All Americans are going to have to pay for it and whether they like it or not, use it or not, they are going to pay for it. The only difference is, unlike before Obamacare, you are being forced to buy healthcare and you will be waiting in a very long line on occasion for the healthcare you need.
More Bible prophecy: "The murderer rising with the light kills the poor and needy and is as a thief in the night" Job 24:14. The good news was foretold as well: "The needy will not always be forgotten; the expectation of the poor will not perish forever" Psalm 9:18. "For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now I will arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from he who puffs at him" Psalm 12:5. * You should find the next post very interesting as well.

Veteran's health benefits have been notoriously lacking. If you know of a vet who is ill, disabled, or an injured veteran, chances are you have heard about the lengthy delays, lack of advanced treatment, lack of treatment, consistent denial of claims, etc. Apparently, President Obama doesn't think it's quite bad enough yet for the men and women who lay their lives down for our freedoms. Hmmm, that word freedom reminds me of the fact that Obama actually resents the freedoms of the American people and he is working hard at chipping some of that out of America. The Obama administration's proposed defense budget calls for military families and retirees to pay a good deal more for their healthcare. At the same time, there is no proposal to increase the same costs of healthcare for unionized civilian defense employees. According to US officials, the proposal is causing a major dispute with the Pentagon, reported Fox Nation.
The prejudicial treatment between civilian defense employees and military staff is causing tension that will most likely affect recruitment and reenlistment. Obama's allegiance is not with the American people. He has an agenda, and even though he is rating poorly on many issues, he is racing full speed ahead on the path he intends to go. His aspirations reach far beyond the American ship (he is intentionally sinking); his focus is a New World Order, which doesn't include the US Constitution or many of the freedoms we appreciate today. Congressional aides have suggested that the move is designed to increase the enrollment in Obamacare's state-run insurance exchanges.
The proposed increases in healthcare for military staff are part of the Pentagon's $487 billion cut. The proposal seeks to save 1.8 billion from Tricare in the 2013 budget. That sounds about like the Obamas' vacation spending during the last year. Michelle Obama's recent trip to Africa cost taxpayers almost half a million dollars (just airfare alone), which doesn't include the rest of the many trips, including those with the president. Hmmm, vacations or healthcare benefits for US troops laying their lives on the line......vacations it is!! I suppose I shouldn't mention Obama's giving 770 million dollars to redecorate mosques in the Middle East, or the 3 billion pledged to Arab Spring nations, who are all going radical Sharia - oppressive, merciless Muslim Brotherhood regimes.
"The vile person will speak villany and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy and to utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. The instruments also of the churl are evil; he creates wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speak right; but the liberal devises liberal things and by liberal things he will stand" Isaiah 32:6-8. These words written by the prophet Isaiah in the 8th century BC are very telling about the evil working among us today.

Thousands
of poor disabled men and women could lose their only source of income
because of a change in government policy that will allow states to seize
every penny of federal benefits from people who owe back child
support. An estimated 275,000 people could be left destitute as a
result of this change. The Treasury Department decided to pay all
benefits electronically starting next year, including Social Security,
disability and veteran's benefits. Another Treasury Department rule in
place gives states the power to freeze the bank accounts of people who
collect federal benefits and owe child support. The new policy allowing
collection of every penny of federal benefits could cause thousands of
poor and disabled to lose their only income. Johnson Tyler, a lawyer
who represents poor and disabled people who collect federal benefits
said, "It's going to be a nightmare here in about a year unless
something changes," reported WashingtonPost.com.
A
lot of child support arrears add up when people lose their jobs, become
disabled, or possibly incarcerated at an earlier time period. Back
child support often accrues in extenuating circumstances, not in every
case, but in many cases, and much of the balance later includes
interest, which varies from state to state. When large lump sums are
owed, often the children are grown and the monies collected go to the
county because welfare benefits were expended for the children.
Whatever happened in the past, it is of no consequence to the federal
government - they will collect. Previously in California, child support
agencies could collect 50% of these benefits, which was often
devastating at that. Now that the government intends to collect 100% of federal benefits from the disabled and poor,
you are going to see catastrophic economic effects in the lives of
these people. No doubt, many will end up on food stamps and in tents or
in shelters. This collection effort is really self defeating and
actually very stupid, in that while the federal government has provided a
way to recoup some welfare benefits expended in the past, a whole new
group of people are going to end up on food stamps and other government
programs on account of this new policy.
Assuming
people can't be that dumb (we'll try to give them some benefit of the
doubt), this appears to be more like a strategy to bring about a
"welfare state" on purpose. Socialist governments create economic
situations which actually push the population into welfare dependency,
which is exactly what you see here.
****
If you owe child support and collect Social Security, disability or
veteran's benefits, do not have your benefits deposited electronically
into a bank account. Request your benefits by paper check and spend the
extra money to cash it at a check-cashing vendor, and keep your money out of the bank.
It is inconvenient, but far better than having your bank account
frozen, having all of your income seized and ending up destitute. ****
"He
(God) delivers the poor in his affliction and he opens their ears in
oppression" Job 36:15. "The wicked in his pride, persecutes the poor;
let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined." Psalm 10:2.
