Tuesday's article, "The Creation Reacting to Sin!" by Last Trumpet Ministries, will also be linked to the Daily Update page.
 

 

EXCERPT:
 

 

As we see this wicked world becoming a chalice filled with sin, we also see the creation itself reacting with every kind of upheaval. In Romans 8:22 we read of this as follows: “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.” This verse and the many verses that tell us of earthquakes, mountains flowing down, and violent whirlwinds all indicate that the time of the end is upon us.
