Today there was a photo on the internet of a small group of Democrats in California praying under the leadership of homosexual Buttigieg, which leads me to believe the continuing earthquakes in California have awakened something in them – through fear. Albeit, this could be yet another ploy for the homosexuals and liberals to ingratiate themselves to the Christian populace – this after eliminating God and Christ from all their venues, rallies and swearing-in’s. What hypocrisy! What audacity! These have no intention of repenting and will blithely continue to flaunt their perversity.

With ever increasing earthquakes happening in California and throughout the world, we must wonder if it is a curse. The Bible clearly says that in the “Last Days” there would be earthquakes like never before – and there are. For those who know scripture and really believe what they read, these earthquakes are clearly due to God’s righteous anger against thankless sinful humanity who don’t believe He exists, have disregarded His commandments, or have just taken Him for granted.

Even as I write this, the earthquakes continue coming (Greece 7/19), and it seems like there is no end in sight. In the United States alone (on 7/6/ 2019), there were 46 earthquakes in 24 hrs; 163 in the past seven days; and 637 in the past week. Jesus said this would happen just prior to the Harpazo (Rapture) and second coming to planet Earth – with other calamities in between, such as Wars and rumors of Wars. Look how close we’ve recently come to war with Iran, as war drums continue to sound. If that happens, Russia will likely step in to help them as they are allies. Egypt, Libya and Syria are also allied with Iran. The Bible told us this would happen long before they even became allies.

People affected by these tremblors are at their wits end and crying out to the God they have failed to acknowledge. People tend to use the road of less resistance and barely seek the face of God in the good times, pounding their chests in defiance. (Have you ever noticed how people love to talk about themselves, thinking they are the wisest, strongest human beings who ever lived?) “Thinking themselves to be wise, they became utter fools.”

We can only expect earthquakes to increase in intensity with some causing tsunamis. “Men’s hearts failing them for fear and apprehension at what is about to happen to the earth.” The latest being in Athens, Greece.

“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.” The shaking across the globe is a wake-up call that we should repent and seek the only one who can save us – Almighty God. If this jostling doesn’t get a person to repent – nothing will.

Many people may gravitate toward God and the church until things subside and return to “normal,” then it’s back to the same old same old.

More people showed up in churches in southern California during and after the earthquakes, but it will probably be like what happened after 9/11. I remember it well – having sat in the aisle on my haunches so that newbies could sit in the pews (and this was a huge church with thousands of seats).

I suspect that in the very near future with more prophecies being fulfilled – many other people will run to the church (totally devoid of spiritual understanding), only to be misled by teachers who don’t or won’t adhere to biblical doctrine; thus, they will have no one to turn to in their despair. That is, unless God sees fit to reach down to those who repent and seek His face in earnest repentance. After receiving Christ, these will – to their surprise – experience a peace that surpasses all understanding. So, in some ways, earthquakes, tsunami’s, hurricanes and even war can be a blessing in disguise because it is only then that people will humble themselves, call out to God and be saved. And what could be better?

The following are other sure signs of Christ’s soon return to take us home and to the marriage supper of the Lamb:

Signs and wonders and portents (warnings) in the skies, flooding, intense heat, unabated murder, infanticide, disease and pestilence, apostasy of the church, apathy of Christians, hypocrisy, hate and fear, lack of faith. “When I return, will there be any faith on earth?” – Jesus.

What people are really searching for is the unadulterated Gospel (the good news of hope and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ), and God has given us the privilege of being participants in sharing this good news with others. “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?”

As these events escalate, we mature Christians must be ready to lend a helping hand in all areas of life, and especially to those who are despairing. We must reach out with the gospel to the hurt and dying with a greater degree of compassion and fearlessness.

That being said, today’s ever-increasing earthquakes and fearful signs could be a curse – resulting in a potential blessing.

God knows how to get our attention.

Persia was complicit in the murdering of Jews by Hitler by supporting his actions and by suggesting ways and means to do so. Today, Persia is known as Iran.

On June 21 of this year, the President of the United States called off a pre-emptive strike on Iran in the final 10 minutes of preparation to do so. With all the players in place, president Trump called off the doomsday strike.

I refer to this strike as doomsday because Russia would most probably become involved after an attack on their good friend and ally Iran. This action would set off World War Three.

Iran has been a tormentor to both the United States and Israel, often calling for our annihilation and the annihilation of Israel. Most Christians know that Iran is comprised of the very same bloodline of the people who held the Israelites captive in the Old Testament.

In any case, Iran recently downed a drone after damaging two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, more than likely – by the command of Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei.

After years of threats of war with us and Israel, the downing of an American spy drone in skies over the Strait of Hormuz near the Persian Gulf, coupled with the bombing of the oil tankers, was thought to be an act of war by Iran.

This act finally set off a chain of events whereby our military and John Bolton, among others, had finally had enough.

All systems were go.

Then, as President Trump tells it, “I stopped the action because it was disproportionate in the cost of lives to the cost of a drone.” How right he was. Nevertheless, Iran will probably continue to taunt us, and most certainly, they will continue to enrich uranium for weapons of war.

Most people don’t know that Iran is a Muslim country with ties to other Islamic nations. Still though, because they are for the most part Shiite while only ten percent are Sunni Muslims, and Sunni Muslims comprise the majority in Saudi Arabia, the two countries are at odds with one another even though they both claim to worship Allah and his messenger Muhammad.

Given the backdrop to the Islamic (Muslim) faith, we can only assume that this religion is faulty, and their only purpose for being is to promote the worship of Allah through intimidation, fear and deadly force.

As a matter of fact, radical Muslim factions have built a network of training camps right here in the United States. (Yes, close to forty of them exist throughout the country.) The CIA and FBI know this, but because of restraints imposed upon them through misconstrued or antiquated laws, they can’t do anything until these people actually commit a crime. Most of these training camps are private properties, bought and paid for by terrorist factions.

Years ago, when I lived in Miami, I came to know a group who bought into a Dunkin Donuts store. I distinctly remember a small group of men in Middle Eastern garb standing in the small parking lot in front of the place, congratulating themselves on the acquisition of the franchise. It was an odd sight to see these people straight from the movie “Lawrence of Arabia.” All that was needed were the camels;  they drove Mercedes and Cadillacs.

As time went on, I got to know them individually and even went for a ride with one of the young men to an Arab store in North Miami. He was a fun-loving guy, and (as is my habit) I attempted to share Christ with him. He acknowledged that Jesus was a good man and prophet, but I undoubtedly shared scripture with him, and I never knew if it took root – God’s word never returns to Him void.

After 9/11 I never saw them again. They seemed to know who was responsible for the downing of the twin towers, maybe not personally, but word may have been out in their community of friends and /or acquaintances. I don’t know. Remember, the perpetrators were at one time in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami taking flying lessons.

For those of you who are still living under a rock, a Russian war ship accompanied by a couple of others docked in Havana Harbor a few days ago. If they had nefarious intents in mind, they were in the ideal position to launch an EMP attack from this – the closest place to be able to launch a missile. Cuba is only 100 miles from the United States. This is the closest they will ever be able to get to us, that is, until after the EMP does it diabolical work.

The point I’m trying to make is that you never know who lives, works and makes plans among us. But we can’t live a paranoid life over something that may well be happening behind the scenes in our country even though it’s only natural to be suspicious, through a process called self-preservation.

You can live fearlessly – but you can’t have that fearlessness unless you possess the Holy Spirit; and you can’t have the Holy Spirit without receiving Jesus Christ.

Although I witness and love all my “Friends” on the fishing pier in Naples, today, for the first time – as I was leaving, I turned back and – facing the crowd of about forty men, women and children (who were all now facing me for some unknown reason) – I said, “Jesus is coming back soon.” People just froze in their tracks; no one made a move, and you could have heard a pin drop.

I’m sure some of them will think about the crazy guy who warned them openly – during their fearful and sleepless nights.

I would urge all believers to get their lives in order, prepare, and “Look up, for your redemption draws near.”
