Good morning on this Saturday, July 24th. Here is a potpourri of events from recent news articles which could have prophetic significance.
(1) The United States successfully used laser technology to shoot down two mechanical drones. The testing of lasers as weaponry has been proceeding in recent days as we continue the pursuit of "star wars" capabilities.
(2) North Korea is making threats to use NUKES in an effort to counter U.S. and South Korean responses to its recent attack on a ship in its region.
(3) China is more actively pursuing its threat to stop recognizing the U.S. dollar as the preferred currency for international commerce and benchmark for other nation's currencies.
(4) More and more nations are continuing their pursuit of nuclear technology in an effort to become a dominant force when it comes to armaments. Many of these nations have unstable or rogue governments which could serve as the cause of a "tinderbox" situation.
(5) The recent revelation of the serious debt and financial malaise in so many European countries is playing out into an increased division of the "haves" and "have nots" in Europe. The "have nots" are increasingly looking to the "haves" for assistance, setting up an important dynamic of dependence and possible domination.
(6) The Palestinian/Arab and Israeli conflicts in the Middle East continue to fester without abatement.
We'll keep monitoring these events for possible major future implications.
Tomorrow's sermon is another in the series on worship and is entitled, Coming To Genuine Worship. I hope you won't want to miss it.
