G'day Daryl...

 SA{at}> I don't necessarily agree with every detail, such as the October 1987
 SA{at}> stock market crash being caused by Christians marching in London, but
 SA{at}> Labor MP James Bidgood seems to understand the "perfect
storm" facing
 SA{at}> the Earth, as we move towards the End Times....

 DS>   The Lord says in Leviticus 26:19 that "I will break the pride of
 DS> your power"...and there is another verse somewhere that "I will
 DS> remove the wealth of your nation"...but the verse location escapes
 DS> me.

 DS>   The Earth is The Lord's and the fullness thereof (Psalms 24:1),
 DS> and that includes the wealth therein. 

I like that verse, which still appears above an entrance to the former
Produce Markets here, since converted to residential uses.

 DS> As Genesis 12:3 notes where
 DS> The Lord says "I will bless them that bless you...and curse them
 DS> that curse you"...those nations who have done things like breaking
 DS> diplomatic relations with Israel, have suffering numerous
 DS> catastrophes, droughts, famines, etc.  

 DS>   Plus, all of these "land for peace" deals that the politicians
 DS> are trying to craft, will be their undoing. One day, Israel will
 DS> stand alone...but, The Lord will come to her rescue...first when
 DS> the Russians, Muslims, and others try to invade Israel (Ezekiel 38
 DS> and 39)...and then, at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

That is my understanding of the sequence ... Ezekiel 38/39 first, possibly
at or shortly after the Rapture, with Christ's second comming at the end
of the Tribulation (two different events, with different purposes and
results). 

Regards, Steve..
