Good morning on this Saturday, May 15th. A few weeks ago I wrote about a rocket launch by the U.S. military on a top secret mission. Other than knowing about the launch, all government sources are absolutely mum about the nature and purpose of this project. Numerous sources are reporting the probability that it involves the weaponization of outer space. This week USA Today wrote an article in its Technology Section entitled, "Star Wars Meets Reality? Military Testing Laser Weapons." They began the article with the question, Are we finally witnessing the dawn of the "death ray?" After reporting that the military can shoot down incoming mortar rounds with land-based lasers, they revealed that military commanders are on the verge of successfully firing lasers at tanks and mines from the air. It is referred to as an invisible death ray. Designers have surpassed 100,000 watts of energy within laser blasts which is considered a milestone in the development of effective laser weaponry; however, using lasers for ballistic missile defense remains elusive. Laser technology is advancing at a rapid pace and the potential of laser weaponry is incredible. The descriptions of coming destruction found in the book of Revelation, the Bible's greatest book of prophecy, could easily be the results of both nuclear and laser weaponry. Many challenges and obstacles for lasers remain but Mike Rinn of Boeing's Airborne Laser Program stated "All the science and physics are now proven as far as how lasers work and what they can do." As world powers continue their hunger for more and more powerful and effective weapons, we continue rapidly on the march to Armageddon.
Tomorrow's sermon is another on The Master's Lessons for Living. I hope you'll be there.
