Due to TIGHT personal time constraints (3-hour drive per day to/from work, etc.), from now on, I will only be listing the FEATURE stories each day, though the actual daily news stories will ALL be on my Update page. Total listings were taking me WAY too long in the mornings!

That Dreadful Day No One Wants to Talk About - In recent weeks I have received prophecies from unknown but godly ministers who are crying out this same kind of message. These shepherds are warning, "A great disasters is coming upon us soon and suddenly. It will be so devastating, the world is going to shudder. Things will never be the same." News commentators have now joined this chorus.

Israeli Official: "Syria, Hizbullah Will Attack if Iran is Hit" - Israeli security officials said if any war breaks out involving Iran, they expect Syria, Hizbullah and terrorist groups in Judea, Samaria and Gaza to join the fray and attack Israel. This assumption is echoed by terrorist leaders from several groups.

Scientists Alarmed at Lake Superior Rapid Warming - Austin, a Duluth professor and a researcher with the University of Minnesota-Duluth's Large Lakes Observatory, has studied decades of data. What he found was water temperatures rising almost twice as fast as air temperatures - more than 4 degrees for the average surface temperature.

Tsunami from outer space: Please prepare yourselves for unimaginable destruction in the weeks ahead - People everywhere are going to be in great danger soon. We have a sort of "Tsunami" approaching us, and the impact on the climate and infrastructure is inestimable.

Wednesday's article, "7 Churches of Revelation 2 & 3, part 1" by [I'm not telling until Part 4!], will also be linked to the Daily Update page.

According to Revelation 1:11, the book was written to seven congregations in Asia, modern Turkey. For 2,000 years scholars have wondered why such an important message would be sent to these churches since they weren't even the most important of their day, let alone now. True, Ephesus was a leading city of the time, but the church there was small and so were the others. Why wasn't the book written to the Church in Rome, for example? Surely the Lord knew that Rome would be the capital of Christianity for much of church history, the perfect addressee for such a timeless message.

The answer lies in the realization that the letters of chapters 2 and 3 have a representative as well as a specific purpose. They can actually be read with four levels of application.

NOTE: If you have any prayer requests, feel free to send them to peggym@his-forever.com, and I will post them with the next morning's updates.
