Most of us are aware of how the economy is doing in our own local home towns. The anecdodal evidence that we see everyday tells us that things are bad and really aren't turning around at all despite what the main stream media would have us believe. We see the long term layoffs, lack of job openings and business closings and there is no mistaking the obvious signs of a slow collapse of the American way of life. The real indication of where we are going as a nation can be measured by what the "big money" is doing. Here is a snippet from an article I discovered yesterday on www.moneynews.com.
Despite the 6.5% stock market rally over the last three months, a handful of billionaires are quietly dumping their American stocks . . . and fast.
Warren Buffett, who has been a cheerleader for U.S. stocks for quite some time, is dumping shares at an alarming rate. He recently complained of “disappointing performance” in dyed-in-the-wool American companies like Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, and Kraft Foods.
In the latest filing for Buffett’s holding company Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett has been drastically reducing his exposure to stocks that depend on consumer purchasing habits. Berkshire sold roughly 19 million shares of Johnson & Johnson, and reduced his overall stake in “consumer product stocks” by 21%. Berkshire Hathaway also sold its entire stake in California-based computer parts supplier Intel.
With 70% of the U.S. economy dependent on consumer spending, Buffett’s apparent lack of faith in these companies’ future prospects is worrisome.
Unfortunately Buffett isn’t alone.
Fellow billionaire John Paulson, who made a fortune betting on the subprime mortgage meltdown, is clearing out of U.S. stocks too. During the second quarter of the year, Paulson’s hedge fund, Paulson & Co., dumped 14 million shares of JPMorgan Chase. The fund also dumped its entire position in discount retailer Family Dollar and consumer-goods maker Sara Lee.
Finally, billionaire George Soros recently sold nearly all of his bank stocks, including shares of JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs. Between the three banks, Soros sold more than a million shares.

The big money is running from stocks and are investing in commodities. In fact, the big money believes we are headed to a drastic decline in the stock market which would have devastating effects on our entire economy.
Not only are investors doubtful about the U.S. economy they are extremely worried about the Euro. Watch the following video and take heed.
I continue to stress that if you are alert and paying attention to all the signs then you should be convinced that we are living in the last days and the economic earthquake unfolding is leading us to a one world economy. The Scriptures speak of a one world ruler in Revelation 13 and a one world economy and it appears we are heading that direction. These realities can be a comfort or a great concern depending on your position in Christ Jesus. If you are a believer in Christ then you should be cheered by the fact that the King's arrival is getting much closer. If you are an unbeliever then there is great reason for alarm. I suggest that you watch the short video in the right sidebar of this site and browse some of the pages and articles and come to Christ.
Today I listened to the pastor of the church I attend. He preached a magnificent sermon from Romans 8: 28-30.
28 And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose, 29 because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; and those he called, he also justified; and those he justified, he also glorified. His three sermon points were...
God does what He wants.
What He wants is always good.
His good is always our greatest delight.
This world is tilting to default, the cheese is sliding off the cracker! Come to Jesus this Christmas season!
Today has been a particularly sad day because of the killings of at least 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. It is not known exactly how many children were victims but this report says the number may be as high as 18.
There will be the usual political responses to this tragedy and it will be the old tired argument about gun control. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to guess what the President and other officials will say in the wake of such carnage. But make no mistake about it, this sad episode in human behavior is not about guns but about our hearts. The Bible makes a very intuitive observation about the real personality inside all of us.
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperatelywicked: who can know it?
Jeremiah 17:9 New English Translation (NET) 9 The human mind is more deceitful than anything else.It is incurably bad. Who can understand it?
There you have it, the most intelligent comment about today's tragedy made by an Old Testament prophet centuries ago. The problem was not the availability of guns. Adam Lanza would have committed his crime with a knife, poison or a club if he didn't have a gun. Adam Lanza's problem was not about his relationship with his Mom, or his Dad, or his counselor or any other potential scapegoat. Lanza's problem was his heart. His heart was desperately wicked and the NET Bible says that his heart was "incurably bad". Of course, there will be the many in our culture who say that all of us are basically good but I would have to disagree with that statement. Most of us are not as bad as we could be but the seed of destruction is in all of us and all of us have the potential to do the most heinous crimes. That's right, "all of us".
So if we are incurably bad and desperately wicked what is the remedy? If you have been reading my blog for any length of time you know the answer...Jesus. On this sad day I urge you to trust Christ as your Savior. He will erase your sinful slate and give you a new heart and a new future.
I continue to read about bizarre occurrences of large bodies of water turning to blood red. These are not isolated events but are systematically happening all over the world. What is God trying to tell us? Perhaps He is reminding us of the blood that is on our hands as we continue unrelentingly with wars, abortions and murder. Americans seem blind to their own blood lust when they point accusing fingers at countries like Syria. We are in no position to look down on any nation. We have been roaming to and fro over the whole world "intervening" in the affairs of other countrys. We kill 1.5 million babies in the womb annually. The murder rates in our major cities is astounding. Perhaps He is warning us of our rejection of the blood of His dear Son. Christ Jesus shed his innocent blood on the cross to be payment for our sins and yet most of the world rejects His offer of pardon and redemption. These are just some of my thoughts today as I reflect on world events. Are you saved? Trust Christ right now!
Kesha Rose Sebert aka "Kesha", began her singing career at age 18 when she signed a contract with Kemosabe Records in 2005. If you are listening to her or watching her videos you are being exposed to a massive dose of illuminati, satanic and immoral symbols. Her videos provide an absolute overdose of "one eye" illuminati symbolism as evidenced by the videos I have included in this post. Recently, Kesha appeared on NBC's Today Show and strutted around in a scant costume which sported the occultic upside down cross. She was sporting a large pentagram around her neck. Her accompanying dancers were donned in Baphomet costumes. Amazingly, this in-your -face satanic demonstration was met with smiling faces of young girls and their moms! It is unbelievable that we have reached a point in history where the masses are so deceived. This young girl's meteoric rise to superstar status is directly tied to her willingness to submit to the Satanic forces in the music business. If you are watching or listening to this bilge please quit immediately. If you care at all about your soul then stop exposing yourself to this blatant evil. Most importantly, if you have never trusted Christ as Savior run to Him now!

The current levels of the Great Lakes are down and in some cases they are matching low levels not experienced for almost 85 years. The Great Lakes are drying up due to the extended drought conditions and the weird weather patterns that have been so prevalent since 2007.
There is so much concern about the the condition of these important water ways that this year 25 members of the Senate appealed to the Office of Management and Budget to make more money available for dredging.
Russell Dzuba is the harbor master in Leland, Michigan. He reports that there is a sand bar that extends around the entire inside of the harbor. He says that he has not seen conditions like this since he has lived in the area which is nearly 48 years. He calls the water level "drastic".
Freighters are carrying drastically less cargo as a result of these lower levels. In 1997 a typical freighter carried 71,000 tons of cargo. By 2000 the same freighter could carry only 60,000 tons and the situation is growing worse.
I drove over the Arkansas river in Hutchinson, Kansas, a couple of weeks ago and the river was about three feet wide. When I was a kid the river was a block wide. Our Earth is drying up and it is all leading to a horrible period of time called the Great Tribulation. Notice what St. John said about this time period and those who would survive it.
Revelation 7
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. 13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. It is obvious from this passage that the tribulation will be a time of drought, excessive heat and severe lack of drinking water. The loss of water levels has been occurring worldwide for several years and it should be obvious to even the casual observer that we are entering deeper into a massive crisis. Now is the time to trust Christ as Savior. Now is the time to have peace of mind in days of chaos. Watch the short video in the right sidebar. Come to Christ today!
