One of the older inmates at LARC named Jack, is always up on Arab-Israeli tension. Another suicide bomber had killed more innocent civilians out of hatred for Israel. So I asked Jack after services Sunday night which way he thought the increase in conflict would go in the face of Sharon's heavy retaliation. "Probably all out war" was his reply. Then he said that surrounding nations would surely be drawn in after which the Antichrist would appear offering a false peace. I said "Don't suppose you have any idea who?" "Yes, it will most likely be either Prince Charles or Juan Carlos of Spain." The latter's name was not familiar. But he claimed they both had extensive royal connections throughout Europe and even around the globe. Now I know that he's no smarter than the rest of us, but he's very faithful attending the chapel and keeps informed about Jerusalem events. The advice that Jesus gave the Apostles is most apt at this time too: "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation" Mt.26:41. The most worldshaking event of human history was about to happen, His betrayal and crucifixion! But they went to sleep while He was praying alone in Gethsemane. GOD forbid that we should be spiritually sleeping when He returns for all who are His own. We want to be ready for that greatest of all celebrations. I wrote some words to the wedding march and sang them for the inmates, just to show how every bride coming down to the groom waiting at the altar dramatizes Rev.21:
Down comes the Bride, from the Father's side. See her descending with Christ to abide.
(SHORT REFRAIN) See them as one, for the millennium. All the living saints, plus those who died have come.
Seems the sharks are really rampaging off of our Gulf of Mexico shoreline. Every day has new attack reports. That nine year old Jesse that survived one and even got his arm back seems like Johan in the Bible. Leviathan is a sea monster mentioned over and over in the O.T. and surely signifies Satan, who appeared as a serpent in the Garden of Eden; so maybe a shark nowadays when there's so much outright murder happening in families. One home in this area last week and another tonight in California. And I turned off O'Reilly for having Marilyn Manson on his show tonite. Larry King had someone worse on last night. I refuse to watch those who've become known just by being vile and rotten. And Al Sharpton's on TV again, now that he's out of jail. He wants reparations for blacks and Jesse Jackson's place as their leader. But Jackson even made Toyota pay up for some slight. So he certainly won't be ousted no matter how many mistresses he has.
