Doesn't the Bible say the end will come when no one expects it?
10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. [2 Peter 3:10]
36"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. [Matthew 24:36-44]

I haven't heard anything like that. I wouldn't be surprised if terrorists and/or WMD's were crossing on a daily basis though. It's just a matter of time before something happens again. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Exciting stuff! Ripp, you're an edge-of-the-seat kinda guy!
I have always been fascinated by the "200 million troop" army factor--and the dreadful fact that if China felt the need to, they could essentially match the U.S. population (men, women and children in total) with infantry alone. That's a bit disconcerting.

That's pretty scary stuff. From the little I know about bible prophecy and from what I sense nowadays...it seems like we'll see the end times play out right before our very eyes. Sometimes I look at world leaders, and think to myself...."Don't they realize what bible prophecy says?" and that they're helping to fulfill it?

I was thinking about this thread while driving and listening to one of my favorite Christian Rock band (Gasp! ![[Wink]](wink.gif) ) when a certain song came on. The lyrics of the chorus were so appropriate (Jim, you might recognize this):
"Lord, we don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out.
Lead us to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt."
"Oh Lord you are the Author
Redeeming what's been done.
You hold us in the present
And all that is to come."

I believe there is an Old Jewish saying: "May you live in interesting times."
Humm... think we got that covered

I am very thankful for Brothers in Christ like Eric and Jim who are gifted as such watchmen on the wall. It is so amazing to see the Truth from His Word, being confirmed in the movements and activities of peoples and places.
It was about 5 years before I was born, but it had to be such an awesome experience to have literally watched the Star of David raised for the first time over the Nation of Israel.
Zion Founded On The Mountains
The Psalter, 1912.
Zion, founded on the mountains,
God, thy Maker, loves thee well;
He has chosen thee, most precious,
He delights in thee to dwell;
God’s own city, God’s own city,
God’s own city, who can all thy glory tell?
Heathen lands and hostile peoples
Soon shall come the Lord to know;
Nations born again in Zion
Shall the Lord’s salvation show;
God Almighty, God Almighty,
God Almighty, shall on Zion strength bestow.
When the Lord shall count the nations,
Sons and daughters He shall see,
Born to endless life in Zion,
And their joyful song shall be:
“Blessèd Zion, blessèd Zion,
Blessèd Zion, all our fountains are in thee.”

A Servant of Christ,

China "could" put 750 million, 200 million at a time.
John was right on the money...

Yes it could get interesting and scary....Why ?
Because the U.S. has stated that we will defend Taiwan...Currently the U.S. has 7 of it's 12 aircraft carriers (are we awake yet?) in that very region as we speak. This means we currently we have the majority of our mobile military arsenal in that region...
China has boasted that it can put 200 million men on the battle field...Interesting considering that the Bible says a war is coming that will kill 1/3 part of man and there will be an army of 200 million.
There is war coming folks...And it's going to get worse....Be prepared!

REPORT: CHINA, RUSSIA TO 'REHEARSE INVASION OF TAIWAN'
quote:
The initial plans were to practice operational teamwork in combating terrorism during the exercise. However, Beijing, skillfully changing the format of the exercise, has tried to re-orient the two countries' armies to practicing an invasion of Taiwan.
Wow! If this is true, things should get VERY interesting over the next few months. Can anyone else see the approaching storm?!

JERUSALEM - Israeli troops took down their Star of David flag, removed a roadblock and handed the town of Jericho to Palestinian control Wednesday, boosting Mideast peace efforts and sending a message to Palestinians that ending the violent uprising is starting to pay off.
Israel Hands Over Jericho to Palestinians
 
God can't be pleased. I'm thinking that we are going to see some strong signs VERY soon. Maranatha!
God bless and stay strong.
