25 Warnings in Ten Years to the United States

In John McTernan's and my book, "Israel: The Blessing or the Curse," we showed how the Lord over ten years has given the United States 21 warnings the same day the U.S. has pressed Israel to give up their land. There were record-setting earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical storms, floods and stock market corrections. I have also included 4 more since President George W. Bush took a more active role in the Middle East talks.

October 30, 1991 - President George W. Bush and Russian President Michael Gorbachev begin the Madrid Conference. The Perfect Storm (a movie and book were written about it) begins forming in the Atlantic. It develops into the largest Atlantic waves in history.

October 31, 1991 - Syria and the Palestinians say Israel must give up their land for peace. The Perfect Strom hits the New England coast causing $1 million in damage to President George H.W. Bush Kennebunkport home.

August 23, 1992: The Madrid talks move to Washington. The day the conference begins Hurricane Andrew, the most expensive storm in U.S. history, clobbers Southern Florida and Louisiana.

Arafat leaves on March 2 for a U.S. speaking tour against Israel. On the day Arafat begins his speakig tour powerful tornados devastate huge sections of the nation, tornados hit Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. While Arafat continued his speaking tour storms stalled over Ohio and caused serious flooding. The tornadoes destoyed Arkadelphia, Arkansas, while the flooding destroyed Falmouth, Kentucky. The storms did over $1 billion in damage. Also, heavy snow fell in March and April causing the worst flooding in a century in the Dakotas. This too was a billion dollar disaster. (Note: March 1 was also the day President Clinton signed into law a bill that would release $385 million to 100 countries for family planning, some of the money could be used for abortion.)

July 2, 1997: Thailand devalues currency which helps begin world economic destabilization. July 15, 1997 the UN votes to condemn Israel's housing construction.

January 21, 1998: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is pressured to give up land by Clinton and Albright. They refuse to have lunch with him. That afternoon the Monica Lewinsky case breaks.

Clinton meets with the Palestinians in a controlled section in Israel at the same time the impeachment newsbreaks. Clinton calls for statehood status for the Palestinians and for a capital to be in Jerusalem. Clinton becomes the first President to be impeached in 130 years.

December 15, 1998: Clinton arrives home. Four days later the U.S. House accepts two articles of impeachment. Two weeks before there were not enough votes, Clinton commits $300 to $500 million to the Palestinians, and at the exact time there was a heart change in the House and he was impeached.

September 21, 1999: Arafat comes to Washington and visits the UN to discuss Wye. From Sept. 21-23 the Dow drops 524 points. This was a very destructive month.

Week of October 11, 1999: Jewish Settlers from 15 West Bank settlements evicted. While Israel was forcing the settlers off the covenant land, the stock market was melting down. On October 15, the market lost 266 points! Also on October 15, Hurricane Irene hit North Carolina, and on the morning of the 16th, a powerful 7.1 earthquake rocked the Southwest.

July 28, 2000: Texas declares 195 counties disaster areas due to a drought, the worst in history for that region.

March 31, 2001: On the day Egyptian President Hosni Mubarek arrived in Washington, a Chinese fighter jet "bumped" into one of our EP-3 reconnaissance planes, forcing it-along with the 24-person crew-to make an emergency landing in China. The resulting crisis completely overshadowed the visits of Mubarek and King Abdullah II.

April 10, 2001: Jordan's King Abdullah II arrived in Washington earlier in the week to speaks with Christian leaders, members of Congress and others to get behind the initiative. He visits the White House on April 10 and then returns home to Jordan. The next day China agrees to release the "detained" airmen from the downed plane. The extremely valuable aircraft remains behind in China, evidently to be shipped home in pieces.

May 22, 2001: President Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell publicly endorse the Mitchell Report. Concurrently, Vermont Senator James Jeffords is rumored to be leaving the Republican Party. Vermont-already a pro-choice state-becomes the first to approve same sex-unions. That same day, the Dalai Lama arrives in Washington. This visit angers China, and the Chinese Premier calls Bush "unfit" to be President.

May 25, 2001: Senator Jeffords leaves the Republican Party, becoming an Independent, allowing the Democrats to obtain a majority in the Senate, throwing judicial and diplomatic nominations into question. On the same day, Daniel Kurtzer is nominated for Ambassador to Israel and endorsed by pro-land giveaway Reform and Conservative Jews, making up 85% of American Jewry.

June 8, 2001: Reuters News Service reports that United States CIA director George Tenet and a special envoy from Washington have spearheaded an international effort on Friday "to strengthen a fragile Israeli-Palestinian cease-fire" plagued by fresh violence. The Central Intelligence Agency director hosted talks between senior Israeli and Palestinian security officials in Ramallah, while Assistant Secretary of State William Burns met Palestinian President Yasser Arafat in the West Bank.

June 8, 2001: Catastrophic flooding overnight brings the Houston area to a near standstill, with nearly 10,000 people left homeless and 3,000 homes and businesses affected, Gov. Rick Perry declares a state of emergency in the Houston area and 28 southeast Texas counties. More than two feet of rain fell at Bush Intercontinental Airport causing flights to be cancelled until early Sunday morning.

September 11, 2001: The greatest attack ever on American soil occurred. The hijacking of four airplanes and the attack on the World Trade Center (WTC)in New York City and the Pentagon left upwards of 6,000 dead and thousands injured. These suicide attacks by Muslim terrorists caused over $100 billion in damage and financial losses and stunned the country.

The attack was aimed right at the financial heart of the United States. The effect of this attack on the stock market was devastating. The week after the attack was one of the worst ever for the stock market. It may be the catalyst for an economic depression that could affect the entire world.

President Bush refused, when asked, to say whether he had been prepared to announce his support for a Palestinian state prior to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on Washington and New York.

A CNN article stated that State Department and other senior administration officials have told CNN that drafts of a major policy speech on the Middle East, to be delivered by Secretary of State Powell, had been circulating within the State Department for review.

These officials said the speech was to "clarify its [U.S.] views on an end result" of the (MidEast) peace process, which would lead to the eventual "creation of a Palestinian state."

Powell had expected to deliver the speech on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly that began on September 23, but that plan was put on hold after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. A future address to the UN was postponed because security couldn't be guaranteed for UN members. This was not just a coincidence.

"It will go farther than we have ever gone," one official said of Powell's speech. "There is an awful lot more that we view as being the end result than what we have said so far."

One point being hotly debated is whether to "call for ending all settlement activity," including so-called natural growth of existing settlements—something previous U.S. administrations have come close to doing, but have never done.

The same official said that such a speech would be a powerful palliative" to the Arab world. "It eases the pain," the official said. "It would end the perception we only move against Islam."

"We are getting hammered in the Arab world," this official said. "And it is not a mystery that one of the ways to diffuse this" is to see some movement on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Printer friendly version

Was God’s Hand Involved in Hurricane Katrina?
by Jason Storms

I am writing the following as one who has lived for several years in New Orleans, ministering on the streets and in the community, and as one who has family and friends in the city who have lost much.

In recent years there has been a deliberate attempt by many Christian leaders to improve the public image of Christianity. While this is not entirely a bad thing, at times it can go too far. An example of this is the way that natural disasters and similar tragedies are immediately declared to be innocent of God’s handiwork by so many spokesmen for the Christian community. In some cases I am sure that this is so; accidents happen; God often times simply allows laws of cause and effect to take their course. But, to say such disaster is “out of character for God” is not only inaccurate but is not doing Christianity nor it’s Author any favors. Noah experienced a move of God in his day when the Lord wiped out the entire population of the earth in the flood. Sodom and Gomorrah were annihilated by fire and brimstone rained down from above. Those who would claim that God wouldn’t cause such a thing as Hurricane Katrina, needn’t dig too deep to find contradiction in their worldview. If you do not believe the Bible, so be it, then let this be the point of our contention, but to say that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who has revealed Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ and the Holy Scriptures, is not capable within the bounds of His character to do such a thing is the height of absurdity. “The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”.

It is clear to me as I have traveled extensively all over this nation doing ministry on the streets, that the city of New Orleans is the most depraved in all our society. The city epitomizes the pomp, pride, and hedonistic godlessness that is becoming the character of our nation. Biloxi and Gulfport, on the Mississippi coast, are modeling their cities after much of New Orleans. Their gambling casinos, associated with organized crime, prostitution and exploitation bring an estimated $500,000 in taxes each day for the state! Those casinos do not exist today.

Bourbon Street , the most famous street in New Orleans , full of bars and strip clubs, is a dirty and disgusting cesspool which engulfs its inhabitants in the foulest odors of stale beer and urine. It attracts people from all over the world, culminating in the Mardi Gras celebration, a week of drunkenness and revelry. One of the highlights of Mardi Gras is the exchanging of plastic beads for girls to expose their breasts. A very common scene on Bourbon Street, not just during Mardi Gras, but any night of the week, is a crowd of drunk men surrounding a woman chanting “show your tits” until the girl exposes her breasts to the crowd. Over a million people come into New Orleans for Mardi Gras every year, many of whom are college students who take these obscene practices back to their own cities and towns. Like a cancer New Orleans has spread her disease to much of our nation .

“Girls Gone Wild”, as well as a host of similar offshoots, has its origins in New Orleans .

Southern Decadence, one of the largest and most vulgar “gay” celebrations in the world, finds its home in New Orleans every Labor Day weekend (interestingly enough, Katrina made landfall just 2 days before Decadence was scheduled to begin) , as the city rolls out the red carpet to prostitute itself for the revenue generated by such depravity. In fact, a huge percentage of the city’s income stems from its “parties” in the French Quarter every week.

The city’s political system has been well known to be one of the most corrupt in the nation for years; this has been well documented with numerous city and state officials currently behind bars.

New Orleans has been the nation’s murder capitol multiple times. Thus far this year, they were again the nation’s leader in murders. Along with this are epidemic problems with drug addiction, crime and poverty.

Voodoo, witchcraft, and the occult are popular attractions in the city. A major annual music concert titles itself the “Voodoo Festival”.

New Orleans is a city full of crime, violence, corruption and perversion that influences the world with its seductive allurements. It is a city where the awful fruit of sin is keenly evident with the crime, poverty and brokenness. Yet, they continue to suppress the truth in their unrighteousness; unwilling to repent, unwilling to humble themselves and turn away from these destructive things.

The damage that was created by Katrina is nothing compared to the damage that sin in all its fullness has been creating in New Orleans and through its influence every day, year after year. When we see a young couple gruesomely killed by a drunk driver who thought it was ok to “get wasted” and drive home, I see Bourbon Street and the flood waters. When I hear of a family being ripped apart because of the sexual addiction of an unfaithful husband who thought “a little fun” was ok, I think of the French Quarter and the flood waters. When I see a young kid get shot to death while “slangin” crack on his corner because poverty and crime are all he has known, I think of New Orleans and I think of the flood waters. When I see a teenage girl going into a clinic where a doctor is ripping out of her womb, piece by piece a little human being created in Gods image, thinking it is her "choice", I think of New Orleans and I think of the flood waters. When will our nation awake? When will we hear the cry of our Lord to “Love God with all our hearts, and to Love our neighbor as ourselves”?

Sin has consequences. This was true yesterday, it is true today and it will be true tomorrow. God has shown His mighty hand and His displeasure, not just to New Orleans but to our entire nation. Will we hear, is the great question of this hour.
