Just another day: The week that was

• The heavens: Seems a comet crossed the skies of Israel this past week tracking from east to west. Some reported that they heard "a shrieking sound."
• Earth fight's back? It's not a new concept. It was the plot of "The Day After Tomorrow." Now Russia's newswire, Pravda, takes a look at the recent rash of natural disasters that have hit our usually hospitable planet. Like most, they're quick to cruise on the global-warming-bandwagon and to ignore the Christ-is-coming prophecies of Scripture.

  Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
  
  And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
  
  “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come...

• News??? On Saturday, the front page of our local paper lauded an 80 year old stripper. On the front page!!! Yuk. Can a news-day be THAT slow?
  
• Bluster: Iran asserts that if anyone (i.e. Israel and the United States) attempts any military action, their name would be Mudd.

  "If Israel and the US fire a bullet or a missile at Iran, its forces will attack the heart of Israel and 32 American bases in the region before the dust from such an attack has settled," and ulimately "destroy" them, barked an Iranian spokesman for their Revolutionary Guards.

  They're cute when their playing with nukes, aren't they?
• The Islamic Republic of Australia: I came across an article at Pravda's web-site that spoke of a major demographic shift in the land down under. It seems that the fact that Australians have reduced their offspring to such levels that their numbers are dwindling while at the same time, the Muslims are ramping up their child production. One expert surmises that within fifty years there won't be any shrimp on the barbie because Australia will have become a Muslim nation. As I have noted often, Mark Steyn has made all of this quite plain in his book America Alone.
