And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the...

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:7-8)I believe that the first two and possibly three of the seven seals are already opened. I could be wrong I admit, but I definitely believe that...

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.(Revelation 6:1-2)In John’s vision, we have been escorted into the very throne room of God himself, and we have beheld wonderful, and mysterious things. God has granted this vision to his servants,that we may know the things which must...

Those Americans who follow the game of politics generally miss - especially in the light of today’s global setting - that all things are working to this end. If the leaders of the American political spectrum - Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, President Obama, Harry Reid, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Bill and Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Scott Brown, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Dick Cheney, Chris Matthews, Bill O’Reilly, etc. - truly comprehended the day and the hour in which we live, they would put aside all of their political agendas and ideological differences and preach with trembling fear, “The...

A new lawsuit demands that proceeds from O.J. Simpson's scuttled book and interview deal go to pay the civil judgement that found him liable for the murders of his ex-wife and her friend. Attorney Jonathan Polak, who filed the suit on behalf of the family of murder victim Ronald Goldman, said Simpson received $1 million for the withdrawn HarperCollins book If I Did It and the accompanying two-part Fox Television interview that never aired. Unconfirmed reports mentioned a $3.5 million payday for the former football star. Both HarperCollins and Fox are owned by News Corp. Simpson was acquitted of the...

Ronald Reagan, like all presidents, made a few mistakes while he was in office, and one of his more regrettable blunders was nominating a judge by the name of Sandra Day O'Connor for a position on the highest court in the land. Although many people in the left-wing media like to refer to her as a "moderate" jurist, that characterization only proves that they have no idea what a judge's job actually is. Using the word ''moderate'' to describe a judge is like using the word Jewish to describe a cat. The term simply does not apply. It is a...

INJUSTICE OVERSHADOWS ‘FRIENDLY FIRE’ J. Grant Swank, Jr., Pastor, New Hope Church, Windham ME (posted 1/15/03) Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana. It is there that theological matters will be discussed and then decided upon. It is there that philosophy will rivet every conversation. It is there that morals and ethics will impregnate whatever is thought-through. It is there that legal jargon will appear to be in charge, but in fact will not be in charge. And that is where the problem lies. This is not a legal matter predominantly. It is not a major military matter either. It has to...
