New items have been added to my Daily Update pages for Thursday morning, located here:http://www.his-forever.com/daily_update_06_15_06.htm
and are as follows:
AMERICA:
Tancredo confronts 'super-state' effort (Demands full disclosure of White House work with Mexico, Canada)US Officials Seeing New Home-Grown Terror Cells (U.S. intelligence and law enforcement authorities are discovering new home-grown cells of Islamist radicals in the United States that draw inspiration and moral support from al Qaeda, officials said on Tuesday.)
CHRISTIANITY:
Southern Baptists refuse to back pullout (GREENSBORO, N.C. - There will almost certainly be no Southern Baptist exodus from the nation's public schools — at least for now. Leaders of the nation's largest Protestant denomination Wednesday refused to support a resolution that would have urged the denomination to form an "exit strategy" for pulling Southern Baptist children from public schools in favor of home schools or private Christian schools.)EZEKIEL 38-39/ARMAGEDDON PLAYERS:
Ahmadinejad to Meet Russian, Chinese Leaders (Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad plans separate meetings this week with leaders of China and Russia, key players who have resisted US efforts to seek tougher UN action in the standoff over Iran's nuclear program. Those meetings were expected to take place Friday following a summit meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, or SCO, although host China, has said the Iranian nuclear issue won't be on the summit's agenda.) <- FEATURE!ISRAEL HAPPENINGS:
Israel prime minister OKs arms for Abbas (Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Tuesday he had given the go ahead for a shipment of weapons to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, whose loyalists are engaged in bitter infighting with the militant Islamic Hamas.)Olmert Says West Bank Plan Unstoppable (Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said on Wednesday that plans to set Israel's borders unilaterally were irreversible, but he still hoped to negotiate a border deal with Palestinians.) <- FEATURE!
PR blitz for Israel after Gaza strikes (Armed with the IDF's findings that the seven Palestinian deaths on a Gaza beach Friday were not caused by Israel, the Foreign Ministry launched an information campaign Tuesday night to change the minds of a world that has already largely blamed Israel.)
MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGHS:
Is It Really Epilepsy? (Nearly a third of patients diagnosed with epilepsy may really be suffering from another condition called psychological nonepileptic seizures instead, report researchers in three new studies aimed at better differentiating the two.)New Diabetes Marker Identified (When doctors want to identify people at risk for diabetes they assess them for insulin resistance. In the future, they may also look at blood levels of the RBP4 protein.)
Rage Disorder Running Rampant? (We've all heard of "road rage" -- those inexplicable situations where someone overreacts to a minor traffic incident with violent behavior. But it's not just bad manners. According to researchers, many of these people actually suffer from a real medical condition known as intermittent explosive disorder (IED). In addition, it's far more common than anyone ever believed.)
Two New Drugs Beat Leukemia, Too (Most people with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) respond well to the breakthrough drug Gleevec, with 93 percent still doing well five years after treatment. Now there's new hope for the minority of patients whose cancer can't be cured by the drug. Researchers publishing two new papers report promising results for the drugs dasatinib and nilotinib (also known as AMN107).) <- FEATURE!
U.S. Finally Gets Hip to Replacement Surgery (The procedure, using something called the Birmingham hip resurfacing system, won federal approval in May as an alternative to the total hip replacement for suitable candidates.) <- FEATURE!
SCIENCE:
Bosnia "Pyramid" Is Not Human-Made, U.K. Expert Says (Speaking at a press conference in Sarajevo, Anthony Harding told reporters the pyramid-shaped hill was a natural phenomenon.)SIGNS OF THE TIMES/NATURAL DISASTERS:
Indonesian villagers flee after eruption (A large eruption of searing hot gas and volcanic debris sent more than 1,000 villagers fleeing from the slopes of Indonesia's Mount Merapi on Wednesday, a day after government scientists lowered the alert level at the volcano.) <- FEATURE!--------------Thursday's article, "The Rapture in the Days Like Noah & Lot" by Alan Yusko, will also be linked to the Daily Update page.
EXCERPT:
The rapture will occur when life is going on in a normal fashion on earth. It will occur during a time of prosperity when people are buying, selling, marrying, planting, and harvesting. The rapture will NOT occur at the end of the 70th week of Daniel at the climax of the battle of Armageddon (like the post tribulationist claims).--------------
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.
I pray you are blessed by all, and that you have a blessed day in the Lord!
YSIY!
