Are these dollars being sucked by the greedy and the wealthy or are we ALL heading towards an inevitable ... you name it!

Which will happen first: the Rapture to meet Jesus in the clouds or a bump in the world's economy while the Dems and the GOP continue to play politics? To listen to either Mr. Boehmer or Mr. Obama, August 2nd will be the end of the world's economic stability [sic] unless the other man's political party gives in.

Come on now, those who are earning $250,000 per year or more can surely pop for an additional three or four percent onto their (low by any historical standards) IRS "burden." And yes, Mr. Obama, we can surely cut wasteful Government spending by a a couple of trillion of those dollars that are currently being sucked up [down] into a burgeoning government that has managed to strip prayer, Intelligent Design and manger scenes from our public schools.

We are living in tenuous, tumultuous, unprecedented times, and there are those who tell us that it’s business as usual, that there’s nothing to worry about, that all things continue as before. It comes down to this, in my opinion, either we can read the signs or we can’t. I realize that there have been doom and gloomers for centuries and there are those, most recently Harold Camping, who set dates every other week for the second coming and the rapture of the "Church" [a.k.a., Believers].

They do researchers and the less knowledgeable like myself (and others) a great disservice. However, let me state here and now publicly that there was what I would call a "supernatural" shift since about the beginning of a loonie political movement in America called, The Tea Party. For the last two years or so, we have seen devastating earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, the Arab Spring-cum-autumn-and-winter of 2011, the skyrocketing US debt, droughts that are worldwide, fires, floods, volcanic activity, Global Warming (by whatever measure), fish and animal die offs (unprecedented species extinctions), and on and on it goes. I believe that we are in the birth pangs, and these will lead to the Apocalypse, the lifting of the veil between the supernatural world and ours. We will see signs and events that will shock us, and as Yeshua/Jesus warns, "unless those days were shortened no flesh would survive…" In short we appear to be be falling into some variant of the Apocalypse …

Mr. Camping may have loony arithmetic and strange interpretation(s) of symbols and events in the Bible ... but ... I'd take heed that my [our] beliefs are sufficient to allow me to be on the "upside" of being caught up in the clouds to join Jesus when the Rapture (1 Thes 4: 13-18) comes like a "thief in the night"!
