Has
US Defense Sec. Accelerated Ancient Prophecy Of Russian Attack On Israel?

have accelerated an ancient prophecy about Russia and Iran attacking Israel
by offering the Russians an opportunity to see how America would defend
herself against Iranian missiles made with Russian-assistance.
Leave
Iraq, Sadr tells "Antichrist" Bush - The powerful
Iraqi cleric and militia leader Moqtada al-Sadr called President George
W. Bush the Antichrist on Saturday and urged him to heed calls by the opposition
Democrats to withdraw from the chaos of Iraq.
Russian
Leader More Combative, Defiant - Russia's
affluence and stability, fueled by high oil prices, have given him the
confidence to confront the West and to try to reassert the nation's influence
as a world power. But Western critics warn the Kremlin's new assertiveness
reflects renewed imperial ambitions and threatens its neighbors.
LAST
DAYS WALTZ (2 TIMOTHY 3):
DUI

for driving drunk – or even if a judge last week hadn't suspended his six-month

would be alive today.

European
Parliament Passes Resolution Vowing to Take 'Homophobic' Countries to Court
- STRASBOURG, (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a disgraceful
debate in the European Parliament (EP) yesterday, Members of the European
Parliament from France, the Netherlands and Italy, among others, vilified
Poland as "hateful" and "repulsive" for refusing to allow promotion of
homosexuality in schools.
Mark
of the Beast Precursor -
Opinion:
The Mark Of the Beast "On" Or "In" The Hand? (by John Hinton) - The
translation "on the hand or forehead" is not hard to understand. The usual
meaning of the preposition epi is most often "on" and it is how most would
have translated this verse at first sight. In fact, if I was seeing the
text for the first time, it is exactly how I would have translated it.
I would have translated it that way because I am far less of a Greek scholar
than the translation team members of the King James Bible committee, and
because I am not used as an instrument of God to preserve his word in the
English language -- I am only a defender of it.

TERRORISM/TERRORISTS:

Saudis

Arabia announced that an anti-terrorism sweep netted 172 Islamic extremists

set the zero hour."

What

of awe, huge (and usually unfulfilled) expectations and some fear.

Monday's
article, "The Advent Of The
Laodicean Church." by Jack Kelley,
will also be linked to the Daily Update page.
EXCERPT:
One
thing the emerging (not emergent, that's the name of one such organization)
church with its social gospel fails to understand is that when the Lord
evaluates our relationship, He's most interested in our attitude toward
Him, not our efforts on His behalf. He made that clear in his criticism
of the Church in Ephesus.
