Americans are uncertain what to think. Since the events following September 11, many citizens have remained glued to the major new networks, wondering what will happen next. It seems the greatest concern is a chemical or biological attack in a major city, such as New York or Washington.
In days past, most Americans would have ignored any warning of such an assault. Now, all Americans are concerned about the possibilities. Should there be a concern that such a terrorist attack is possible?
If one listens to all the talking heads on the news channels, the facts and possibilities are confusing. One person states, America is ready for a biological and chemical attack, while another despairingly comments, America is in no way ready for such an attack. Another specialist believes the substances for such a terrible assault are already in the hands of a few in the nation, while another says he in no way believes the sleepers in America have such abilities.
Others have stated they do not believe Osama bin Laden has any ability to produce such materials.
Recently on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson obtained a series of satellite pictures showing the inside of Afghanistan. Not far from the border of Pakistan, a close-up of terrorist camps revealed a mound with a smoke stack. Not far from the smoke stack was a building. The specialist reading the satellite map indicated the area of the smoke stack appeared to be similar to a place where chemical and biological substances were being made and the other building was where they were being tested on animals. The moment this statement was made, the television screen went blank and a sign came on stating that the video feed was interrupted. The 700 Club stayed off the air until the program was over, then oddly, the regular programming returned without interruption. I immediately thought that someone interrupted the satellite feed due to information that was being released. At this point, I have not heard of one secular media agency that had reported anything related to chemical or biological possibilities connected to the training camps in Afghanistan.
I received a call that a gag order was placed on all persons working in high positions inside the Federal Government Agencies. There are things that have happened and things that have been planned of, which high positioned federal workers are not to speak about to anyone, not even their closest family members.
I can certainly understand the silence. First of all, the government must separate fact from rumor. Often the media hypes up a possible situation and could create panic and fear in the hearts of viewers.
No doubt these are the perilous times warned of in scriptures. Our personal faith must be strong and we must seize the opportunity to minister to those near us, who are fearful of the future. I have often said, You cannot threaten a Christian with dying and going to heaven. As Paul said, To live is Christ but to die is gain.
These are exciting times!

i figured that's why there has been no military action against afghanistan. well, at least it's comforting to know our powers are trying to do it the right way & get the threat here under control first.

You might need the entire quote:

1 Thessalonians 5:8
8. But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. (Probably NOT aluminum foil!)
Brace yourself...there is NO rapture.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
13. Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope.
14. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
15. According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
16. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
18. Therefore encourage each other with these words.
Is it just ME, or are OTHERS encouraged as well?

But the fact is, you are going to start quoting the bible, and until you can come up with something else to back up your infallible proofs besides your bible, then I guess I'm right back where I started...
Translation:if all the proof is gathered together in ONE place, it will be worthless.
Not to worry: there are a couple of groups that have THEIR material to help you understand and 'interpret' the bible!

Have you read all the articles and replies re:HYBRIDON here on FR?
I dont know what the feds are doing!
Hopefully, padlocking,seizing and freezing assets!
To: Elsie
Interpret, what an interesting concept, why should the bible have to be interpreted to me. Seems pretty straight forward to me... Why would god's word need to be interpreted? Just like the constitution needs to be interpreted?
I don't think so!! :) OK, I've gotten enough of you in a tizzy, I'm gonna stop now, some of you REALLY need to be christians to lead a moral life, and I appreciate that. But I do enjoy poking you with a stick every once in a while!!

And not if the animals had died of a disease, making them unfit for consumption, or the local population had already left for refugee camps in Pakistan, leaving their animals unable to fend for themselves. Like Anthrax... doh!
