Firehawk, Welcome! In addition to the resources Dawn listed, I recommend "Epicenter 2.0" by Joel Rosenberg. This guy used to be a campaign manager for Benjamin Netanyahu and either personally knows or has interviewed almost all the major players in the Middle East. If you want to understand what's happening there from a biblical perspective, I can't recommend anything else any higher.

WARNING: he believes in a pre-Trib rapture; however, he doesn't start talking about that until the very last chapter. He's also written a series of action novels based on events in the Middle East -- that's actually how he got is start as a writer. Interesting thing: the events in his novels have a way of actually occurring, sometimes before the novel is actually published. His last novel had a set of 5 nuclear missiles from North Korea launched off merchant ships just off the coast of America.

Hmmm....

Thanks everyone for all the warm welcomes and the abundance of information. I find it all very interesting. And I completely agree with you Dawn. Not so long ago I use to never say the Rosary, but now I say it almost every night. It brings a lot of peace and certainly helps me through any troubles. I'm excited to get to share my ideals with all of you and to learn so much from all the posts.

New type of cloud found
An unusual type of storm cloud could become the first new variety of cloud to be officially identified in more than half a century.

Meteorologists believe they have discovered a new classification of cloud after the unique formation has been spotted in skies around the world....

Would these clouds be something akin to "Signs in the heavens or skies"?

The world economy is collapsing, and a one world currency system has been suggested.

Food shortages are coming.

Nations are rising up against nations.

Disease outbreaks are taking place.

A lot of people are claiming to be the Christ. (Keep an eye on the EU)

It's all coming together.


Chris, will you please elaborate on what you said about the EU and people claiming to be the Christ?
Thanks a bunch

The EU is the resurrected Roman Empire. The EU Presidency is a life time appointment, similar to a secular Papacy.

The number of non-Christian cults centered around somebody claiming to be the Christ seem to be increasing.

Thanks for the answer.

Possible, but doubtful. Those signs usually refer to things like comets, meteors, UFOs, etc.

We've been discussing a lot. This is our 5th thread, each has around 1,000 posts.

We feel it too.

When you have nothing else to do, you might want to peruse through those other threads. Each of us have different "gifts" and angles on what we bring to the table to discuss. You can find links to the others on page 1 of this thread.

I would like to point out to you Mark Mallett, if you do not know about him already. He is an authentic Mystic (I believe) who is being given details. You might want to read through his blog:
http://www.markmallett.com/blog/?cat=2

I also believe in Garabandal, and Joey Lomangino (take time to watch his story as he explained on EWTN to Mother Angelica)-scroll about halfway down the page. Click on Video to watch on your computer. There's also MP3:
http://www.garabandal.us/joey.html

Personally, I believe Medjugorje is a continuation of Garabandal. The Church has not condemned either one.

I also believe it is the end of an Era, not the end of the world. The end of a century/or period that Satan was granted to tempt the world (Pope Leo XIII). You can search CAF for posts.

Another name for this is the "Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary."

God loves us, and is going to break the spell we are under. By our Free Will.

+Peace Be With You.
-Dawn

Ditto, and may Christ Jesus bless you through the power of His Holy Spirit, in union with God the Eternal Father.

If I did not love Jesus, this bit of "coincidence" (I do NOT believe in coincidences) would scare me.
Amazingly, I feel as though I am just at a place where I am accepting that what will happen, will happen. I just pray that I can drag many souls to Christ before my number is up.

Methinks they look ominous.

JMHO.

If you pray at least 3 Rosaries a week (okay, now it's 4 with the Luminous Mysteries), consider joining the Archconfraternity. It is not binding under sin (If you don't comply-it's not a serious sin). You benefit from everyone else's Rosaries prayed. There are other benefits. It is free:

http://www.rosary-center.org/nroscon.htm

Read through the website. I think you receive a Plenary Indulgence (usual customary norms) the day you're enrolled. Yeah...here it is. Check this out:

http://www.rosary-center.org/nconobl.htm#ben

Also: Those who pray the Rosary regularly would do well to be enrolled in the Confraternity to gain extra spiritual benefits for each Rosary they pray.

Cool, huh?

+Peace Be With You.

Thank you for that Dawn! Man, I haven't heard the word CONFRATERNITY since I was a young girl in grade school! I would guess that I enrolled back then, but being I can't remember exactly, I just now enrolled ... thank you so much for that link
*HUGS*
p.s. I guess I'm totally blind to the ARCHConfraternity link cuz I can't find it for the life of me LOL .. I'm sure it will turn up eventually! hehehe

By the way, I have been in the computer field for years as a profession also...doodoodoodoo.

It lays out readings for you per day so that by the end of the year you have read the whole bible. You all know how big the bible is and how much is there. Well, you guessed it...Yesterday and Today's readings just happen to fall on what Muzhik mentions above...the book of Esther...what are the odds of that? 311 to 1?...hehe
