Did the Whole World Stop?

On Sunday night I sat at my house and I thought back on this lovely Mother's Day and wondered what the late breaking news was? I couldn't remember any. Did the whole world stop and hold it's breath? It did last Friday as the DJS Dow Jones Stocks took a dive. There were audible gasps and mouths dropping to chests and the DJS took a straight line dive to -900s plus. The frightening thing is the HOWL that came forth as a microphone was positioned in the streets of Greece. Was that Biblical by the way? Here is one of 34 “HOWLS” I found in Bible's scripture search:

Isaiah 13:6 (King James Version)

“Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.”

Strong words but they are straight from the Bible.

Yet I started the blog out last week with a plea to pray for Israel for the peace talks restarting was being worked on. How did that all turn out I wondered so I goggling that info up and the best article I found is this one:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8670726.stm

Basically, the peace talks are to resume. Now we need to pray more then ever! Much is at stake. Freedom for Israel being a really big and important reason to pray. We want the apple of God's eye blessed. Israel is the apple of God's eye.

Zechariah 2:7-9 (King James Version)

”Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.”

So again I gently ask that we keep praying for Israel.

Thank you and God bless you!

E.Q., More on Economy and Beyond

I know I just blogged on economy but my mailbox received a very interesting article after that and I though we all could see and give it some thought too. Check it out here: http://www.dhs.gov/ynews/releases/pr_1264197311110.shtm
If you find yourself reading this article a couple of three times to give consideration to who was in the article, Secretary Janet Napolitano of the Department of Homeland Security, and what it is about, providing employment to people of 11 other countries when our own unemployment rate is still so high, yes, if you are doing double takes, you are not alone. What are people thinking? What is expected of us to do about something like this? Praying goes without saying; like praying for the ability to even take care of our own? Maybe we should pray to believe WE matter in our leaders eyes and in their thinking and maybe even more so then random others who don't even carry our beliefs or burdens of protection? Pretty frustrating news at best.

This isn't the only prayer focus though. I see by this next article Abbas of the Palestinians is trying to bring grief to Israel and when I look at who is obliging with him, I again shake my head and make a determination to increase the praying for Jerusalem. The article is here: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/135916
It's like reading out of the Bible in Ezekiel, Daniel, and other similar books that show revelation of these times.

And last, please let me share what a prominent blogger had happen to him. Alex Jones of Info Wars/Prison Planet experienced the internet censorship we have all heard is coming.
http://www.infowars.com/frightening-taste-of-internet-censorship-as-major-free-speech-websites-blocked/
What I like about this article is that it was unsuccessful in any lengthy duration to keep Jones censored and hope we take note as to why it was unsuccessful. The 'users' of the internet made the difference so remember your buying power. We've been appreciating our voting power and the effect it had in Massachusetts but it seems we the people have buying power yet too. It is nice to have these powers without stepping over the line with the use of them. Lest our zeal eats us up!

And just in from another watcher before blogging today, here is an article about the earthquake in Illinois only 45 miles from Chicago. http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/earthquake-strikes-outside-of-chicago/19351977
For those who remember the prophecy that a quake coming from Chicago over to the Mississippi River, this will carry special interest. Yes, things are popping so thank you all for helping to keep the watch. It is important to do this!

Be well and safe remembering our military to most certainly hold them up in prayer also. And by that I mean “us;” the Lord's army.
