Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

At least 82 dead in Indonesia quake

JAKARTA (AFP) – At least 82 people were killed Tuesday and hundreds injured in a 6.3-magnitude earthquake that rocked Indonesia’s Sumatra island, officials said.
Evil has always been around from the days of the fall in the garden. However, it began subtle and crafty with the serpent. It then was born with Adam and Eve and was pretty crude and out there and in your face—ex. the outright murder of Abel.
Even in our Middle Ages evil was bloody and barbaric—but it was out on the table, cut and dry.
Today we have a more subtle and crafty evil lifting its head. Evil has developed. With the terrorism there is no seeing where the next attack will come from. There was no expectation that people would think up the suicide-bombings of today.
The attacks on the World Trade Center towers was an undeclared blow—a blow beneath the belt. It was subtle and crafty.
Thanks for your comment Kate!
Terrorism is terrible, no doubt about it.
Consider the definition of terrorism..
noun
the calculated use of violence (or threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature;
America is all about fighting terrorism. This is a good thing. Terror is wrong. It preys upon the innocent who cannot help themselves. Down with the terrorists!!!
We cry out to almighty God for justice and protection! Especially after the towers fell, people who never even went to church were on their knees. “Lord, smite thine enemy! Dash them to pieces, those murderers of the innocent! Enact revenge on these that murder our children!!”
Yet while we attempt to compel God to destroy those that kill our innocent, the United States is terrorizing its own unborn children. Talk about subtle and crafty!

Let America cry out to God and repent for what we have done, lest we enact judgment upon our own heads…

if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
