There have been numerous new stories that confirm that many trends are still intact. On an often touched upon subject, the growing underclass in America, a couple of interesting articles we published (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/sprawling-struggling-poverty-hits-suburbs-190146893.html, and http://www.cnbc.com/id/100581861). I was watching CNBC recently, and they were talking about the original Cyprus bailout plan, which proposed a ‘levy’ of about … Continue reading “Bits and Pieces”
A prescient blog entry…no, not mine
I was trying to find more information on the shifting of the jet streams, when I found this blog entry:http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2012/03/07/climate-change-may-be-affecting-the-jet-stream/. It comes from a Columbia University website. It was written a year ago and though it only briefly touches on the subject of shifting jet streams, it did make a prediction that the coming summer … Continue reading “A prescient blog entry…no, not mine”
The Rapture
Let me repeat something I have said before — I am not a biblical scholar. Now with that said, I want to talk about the Rapture. I have read the few scriptures that are used to argue that God will call up His Believers to Him in the End of Days. I was taught early … Continue reading “The Rapture”
Side note
I have rewritten ‘Political Agenda of the Beast’. Hopefully I have improved the prose and made the arguments easier to follow. I will next rewrite ‘Erosion of Democracy and the Ascension of the Beast’ as it will be a further elaboration on the political agenda of the Beast. I have highlighted the danger found within … Continue reading “Side note”
Rebuilding the Temple — one step closer
Israel continues to strengthen its grip on Eastern Jerusalem (http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2013/0610/Israeli-policy-pivot-strengthens-grasp-on-East-Jerusalem). We would expect Israel to continue on its path to claiming all of Jerusalem (both East and West) for its own — which means kicking out the Palestinians (non-Jewish Israelis). We expect this because in order to rebuild the Temple, Israel will need to tear down the … Continue reading “Rebuilding the Temple — one step closer”

German HIgh Court and the ECB Sometime after the German elections in September, the German high court will make a ruling that may rock the European Union. They have recently heard arguments, for and against, the ECB OMT program — basically a program that allows the ECB to buy an unlimited amount of government bonds … Continue reading “Recent News Bits”
Erosion of Democracy and the Rise of the Beast
I have put the section, Erosion of Democracy, into the archive section for now. It is not dated, but I am wrestling with my rewrite. It is a nuanced argument, and I am not the best writer. In the end, I will probably end up simplifying it, and then go into depth on different aspects … Continue reading “Erosion of Democracy and the Rise of the Beast”
More smoke circling Italy’s government finances
On a number of occasions, we have referred to allegations that the Italian government used derivatives to allow it to meet the requirements for joining the Euro zone in the 1999. Given recent market reports of large unrealized losses on derivative contracts held by the Italian government, it was announced that there would be a … Continue reading “More smoke circling Italy’s government finances”

Technology and the Mark of the Beast The new iPhone 5 has a finger print scanner on the home button. This represents the next step in the use of biometric data for electronic access. Given the growing use of smart phones for payments, this takes us further down the road of using biometric data for … Continue reading “Follow Ups”
Recent Thoughts
I have often touched upon how global warming and climatic change may tie into some of the prophecies found in Revelation. One link may be found in how global warming is affecting the world’s oceans. Not only is global warming causing a marked increase in shallow waters of the ocean, but the temperature of the … Continue reading “Recent Thoughts”
