How many weeks left until 2013?

So this year is almost done, with people wondering what is going to happen in the next few weeks.  I think that December 21st is going to come and go without incident, just like Y2K. What we should be more concerned with is what is going on in to world.  The United States is on the verge of a serious economic collapse.  They are over 200 trillion dollars in debt with no way of climbing out. 
Tomorrow is a presidential election with people threatening to riot if either candidate wins.  The pickings leave much to be desired.Will they reelect a man that does not support the sanctity of life and marriage and is the least open, transparent president in history, or will they elect a man that does support the sanctity of life and marriage, even though his religious beliefs are very bizarre and he's not being very open about his taxes over the last ten years. Either way, the USA is in big trouble.
In the last week, the east coast has been battered by Hurricane Sandy, leaving many thousands without homes, others without electricity and heat, and gas shortages.  People never expected cities like New Jersey and New York to be hit by such a disaster and yet here we are with "unprecedented" damage and human suffering. New York is the city that never sleeps, but last week, it was like a ghost town with stores, theaters, restaurants and other businesses closed up. Is God sending them a warning? There are some people who would say that. Like Joel Rosenberg has been saying, is America on the verge of a major implosion?  They are trillions in debt, people are jobless and relying on the system in huge numbers, culturally they have become obsessed with sex, celebrities, drugs and alcohol and to a degree self. They have also become a society that is death-centered... abortion rates are so high, violent crime is on the rise etc. 
Now I am not saying that all other countries are innocent. We are seeing western society as a whole, circling the drain. How long is God going to allow the degradation? Fathers are abandoning their children, children are hating their mothers, mothers are killing their unborn, marriage between a man and a woman is under attack with divorce rates through the roof, and the growing acceptance of gay marriage. Addiction is on the rise, either to drugs, porn, alcohol, sex, tv, food, or the computer.  People love money and possessions above all.  It will be interesting to see how the next few days play out.  I'll be praying for America as they vote...

It's a New Year

Welcome 2012... this year is rife with anticipation. Will the world end on 12-21 as the Mayan calendar seems to imply? Will we achieve a "higher state of consciousness"? Just what is going to happen this year? 

Well, the year started out with Iran firing their first, surface to air, mid-range missile, and announcing an advancement in their nuclear program. The sanctions placed on Iran have lead them to threaten to close the Strait of Hormuz, choking off a major oil shipping route. Should this happen, I can only imagine that the price of gasoline will soar. It seems like the tensions in that area of the world can't get any worse, and then something new happens. I can imagine with the recent nuclear development in Iran, Israel is ramping up preparations for a pre-emptive strike, or at the very least, preparing to defend themselves from the attempt to "wipe them off the face of the earth."

To add to Israel's unease is the latest statement out of Egypt, announcing that Egypt is going to end their peace treaty with Israel. I am sure that this comes as no surprise, as the new government elected into power is predominantly the Muslim Brotherhood. 

Throw Russia and China into the mix, with their warnings to the US about a nuclear attack on Iran and then have Condoleeza Rice chime in "We must do everything we can to bring Iran down." And we are looking at a very interesting but scary time.

If things go down over there, and I think we can all agree that they will, we are heading into some very dark times.  Things foretold thousands of years ago are coming to fruition right before our very eyes and yet many people have no idea what is going on. We need to WAKE UP!  The media needs to stop lying to us and "protecting" us from the truth.  Be ready, because the world is in for a big warning of God-sized proportions.
