We Could Fly Today

I was just spending some time catching up on the main headlines this morning. Take a look:

Authorities searching for drug smugglers who shot and wounded an Arizona sheriff's deputy in the desert south of Phoenix said they captured 17 suspected illegal immigrants Saturday.

Republicans are on offense in scores of House and Senate races as persistent economic woes and lukewarm support for President Barack Obama continue to weaken Democrats' hold on Congress.

A Christian attorney is reminding his fellow Californians that all that is needed for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against a Michigan judge who was accused of violating a woman's right to practice her religion when he told her to remove her Muslim headscarf.

Police found an "amateurish" but potentially powerful bomb that apparently began to detonate but did not explode in a smoking sport utility vehicle in Times Square, authorities said Sunday.

Heavy thunderstorms lashed parts of western Tennessee with almost a foot of rain, leading to the deaths of five people and flooded neighborhoods, roads and waterways.

Obama tells Palestinians that Israel is to blame.

Obama preparing to force Israel's hand.

France joins US in blaming Israel for lack of peace.

Do you think that the first six have anything to do with the last three.

There is no doubt, we are living in the last days. As you read the words of our Lord in Matthew 24, there can be no doubt. One can also read from Micah 7:1-8, and Ezekiel 29:5-7. Be not deceived. Several things are happening at this moment. There is the alignment of the nations against Israel.

In 1979, Israel and Egypt signed their famous peace treaty under U. S. President Jimmy Carter, between Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat. Thought strained, this agreement has stood for three decades. But with recent shift in U .S. support from Israel to Egypt, it appears about to go under. One day, I believe soon, it will break like a fine reed and Israel will struggle to remain standing.

Israel has depended upon a series of frail treaties that could stand only with the backing of a major power like the United States.

As we read our Scriptures, we realize that all these "peace processes" are doomed to fail. Prophecy says so. And we are watching it happen before our very eyes.

It sure would be a "good day to flly."
