Are The Great Lakes Drying Up? Is The Tribulation Near?

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!

  

Foolish Jamie Foxx Blasphemes God And Other End Time Updates

I probably need to do more of these little end time updates because I have a real conviction that we are indeed living in the last days. So here are a few things that have been garnering my attention in the last few days.
Jamie Foxx at this year's Soul Train awards referenced President Obama as "God" and "Our Lord and Savior". Sorry Jamie, but there is one Lord and one Savior and President Obama is neither (no offense to Obama). This is an example of rank blasphemy and evidently the "fear of the Lord" is not part of Mr. Foxx's belief system. One day soon Foxx will stand before the One True God and give an account for that ridiculous statement. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes on that day!

There was another incidence of "blood red" water in Australia The famed Bondi Beach was closed to swimmers. The cause was attributed to an over growth of red algae. This may be a precursor to the blood judgements on water outlined in the book of Revelation. Do a little research and find how many times this has happened in the last 15 months or so. I wrote a post concerning several miles of the largest river in China turning blood red, check it out.

The rfid "chip" technology is becoming more prevalent all around the world. I have long believed that this technology will play some role in the coming "mark of the beast". Starting this fall, all students at John Jay High School and Anson Jones Middle School, in SanAntonio,  are required to carry identification cards which are embedded with a microchip. They are being tracked by the dozens of electronic readers installed in the schools’ ceiling panels. Inch by inch we are being drawn into the all seeing eye of big brother and few seem to even notice what is going on!

NOAA scientists are on high alert as the Sun enters a period of solar maximum over the next 14 months during which we will see a burst of activity that could have catastrophic effects on global power grids and communications systems.

Jesus said that there would be signs in the Sun when His coming drew near.

Luke 21:25

King James Version (KJV)

²⁵ And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

NOAA scientist say the the Sun will enter a period of solar maximus over the next 14 months. The energy directed toward the Earth could have catastrophic effects on power grids and communication systems. Solar storms  have increased significantly and are a sign that we are living in the end times.

How long will the Lord continue to send this Earth signs of His return? I don't know the answer to that question. But I do know two things. First, the Lord's wrath is coming like it has never been manifested before. Second, there is an escape route concerning this time of wrath.

Romans 5

⁸ But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
⁹ Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Trust Christ today as your Savior, escape the wrath to come!

Hector "Macho" Camacho Dies Leaving Us A Record Of Success And Frailty!

I'm 56 years old and a boxing fan so when I heard that Macho Camacho had been gravely wounded by a bullet four days ago I offered several prayers on his behalf. Today I found out that his family had removed him from life support and he has died.
His illustrious career spanned several decades as he compiled a record of 79 wins, 6 losses and 3 draws. He knocked out 38 of his opponents while becoming world champion in three different classes - super featherweight, lightweight and junior welterweight. To become champ in so many classes and maintain excellence in boxing for such a long period of time is nearly unheard of, in fact, Macho fought his last fight in 2010 at the age of 48! 
Camacho was born in Puerto Rico but as a small child his mother moved him to the U.S. into a tough  neighborhood in Spanish Harlem. At that time Spanish Harlem was a crime infested neighborhood and young Camacho seemed to find trouble frequently. Juan Laporte was a fellow boxer and friend. Here are some things he had to say about Hector.

Former featherweight champion Juan Laporte, a friend since childhood, described Camacho as "like a little brother who was always getting into trouble," but otherwise combined a friendly nature with a powerful jab. 

"He's a good human being, a good hearted person," Laporte said as he waited with other friends and members of the boxer's family outside the hospital in San Juan after the shooting. "A lot of people think of him as a cocky person but that was his motto ... inside he was just a kid looking for something."
Laporte lamented that Camacho never found a mentor outside the boxing ring.
"The people around him didn't have the guts or strength to lead him in the right direction," Laporte said. "There was no one strong enough to put a hand on his shoulder and tell him how to do it."(Source)

I think that it's easy for most of us who have grown up in very stable homes to make judgments about the personal lives of people like Camacho. He had constant run-ins with the law and a dismal record in his personal relationships. He did many questionable things throughout his life that most sanitized Americans would never do. But I did read a small snippet about  a time in his life when Hector Camacho in an interview with Dan Hernandez, Ringinsidereport.com, said that he was  a "new born Christian". There are a lot of things to remember about Macho like his 3 titles, epic fights against Mancini, Chavez, Duran, Leonard and De La Hoya and his one of a kind style. But I am going to cling to the statement that he made to Dan Hernandez in an obscure interview. I am going to anticipate a future chance to meet Camacho on the streets of gold because we both trusted Christ as our Savior. I know that at this point the Pharisaical lordship salvationists will come out of the cyber woodwork and point out all the sin and failure in Camacho's life. Let the cockroaches do their best! I will point to the grace of God and the simplicity of the gospel and revel in what the Lord has done. You see, the real question now is not Macho Camacho but you Dear Reader. Have you become a newborn Christian by trusting in what Jesus did on your behalf? If not then I encourage you to read  "Eternal Life For You" or watch the short video in the right sidebar on how to be forgiven in 3 minutes. The bell will ring for the final round of our life much sooner than we think. We must be prepared to answer the call. Trust Christ!
