New items have been added to my Daily Update pages for Tuesday morning, located here:http://www.his-forever.com/daily_update_06_06_06.htm
and are as follows:
2 TIMOTHY 3:
Senate Takes Up gay-Rights Ban Amid Criticism (Urged on by President George W. Bush, the U.S. Senate on Monday debated a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage that both backers and opponents say has little chance of passage.)AMERICA:
First Guard troops to start work at Mexican border (The first of about 6,000 National Guard troops ordered to bolster patrols along the U.S.-Mexico border will start work Monday as a 55-member detachment from Utah begins working on projects in southern Arizona, a Guard spokesman said.)CHRISTIANITY:
Dutch Evangelicals calls for pray-in against the Devil (A Netherlands-based Evangelical organisation has called on Christians in 21 countries to hold a 24-hour prayer vigil against Satanic forces to mark so-called Devil's Day.)END TIMES:
666: The number of the beast (and, gulp, today's date) (According to Revelations, they are the devil's own digits. They have even been used to 'prove' that Nero and Ronald Reagan were Satan in disguise. So it is little wonder Doomsday obsessives believe the world will end today. Oliver Duff reports)EUROPEAN UNION:
EU Begins Package Talks With Iran (European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana is in Iran to present a package of incentives and penalties aimed at getting the country to end its uranium enrichment program.)ISRAEL HAPPENINGS:
Anti-Missile System Beefed Up against Iranian Threat (Israel is working on an upgraded version of its Arrow Mark IV anti-missile system in the wake of the growing threat from Iran, according to Defense Week. Jerusalem has asked the United States for $58 million to speed up production of the Arrow anti-missile.)IDF intelligence warns conflict with Palestinians to escalate (According to the assessment, army intelligence officials believe Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's ambitious plan to withdraw from large parts of the West Bank will not do anything to decrease the scope of daily violence in the region. Instead, the army is moving forward based on a working plan that it is nearing another round of bloody violence with the Palestinians.)
Rabbinic Court slams High Court (Two recent Supreme Court decisions that have curtailed rabbinic court jurisdiction "have given the religious community the feeling that Israel's highest court is antagonistic towards Jewish law," said legal adviser to the rabbinic courts Rabbi Shimon Ya'acobi during a conference on the relations between religious courts and civil law at the University of Haifa.)
LAST DAYS DELUSIONS:
6.6.6: Tuesday is June 6, 2006. (Somewhere, Revelation's author is having a big laugh. Sure, his book of the Bible is filled with dragons, locusts, plagues, oceans of blood and rivers of fire. Oh, yeah, and the beast. The beast that branded the godless with the number 666 - a sign of their devotion to him. But he was really just warning churches about the evils of emperor worship. Or was he?) <- This article is SO full of holes and lack of knowledge, it's pathetic... and it's also obvious that the author doesn't really KNOW the Author of Revelation!!!!!! Peg666 wrong number of prophetic beast? (Newly examined Scripture fragment lends credence to argument it's 616)
MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGHS:
Breast Cancer: Tamoxifen or Raloxifene? (New results from the STAR trial -- Study of Tamoxifen and Raloxifene -- reveal both drugs are effective in lowering breast cancer risk among women considered at high risk for developing the disease.)Doppler Predicts Stroke (Meteorologists use it to track storms. Now doctors are using a similar version of Doppler radar to look at blood flow in the brain and help prevent stroke.)
Exercising the Lungs Good for Asthma (Lung exercises can help people with mild asthma cut back on the amount of medication they need to control the condition, report Australian researchers.)
I Have Cancer -- Telling Your Kids (Finding out you have cancer is usually shocking news. And if you have kids, it'll be just as shocking for them to hear. Telling your child you have cancer isn't easy. But doing it the right way can make all the difference.)
ONE WORLD RELIGION:
Pope and Blair talk faith, terror (Pope Benedict and British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Saturday agreed on the importance of dialogue between faiths and cultures to tackle terrorism.)PLAGUES:
African AIDS Toll May Hit 100 Million By 2025 (It began quietly, when a statistical anomaly pointed to a mysterious syndrome that attacked the immune systems of gay men in California. No one imagined 25 years ago that AIDS would become the deadliest epidemic in history. Since June 5, 1981, HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, has killed more than 25 million people, infected 40 million others and left a legacy of unspeakable loss, hardship, fear and despair.)TERRORISM/TERRORISTS:
Canadian Terror Probe Expands to 7 Nations (Police said Monday more arrests are likely in an alleged plot to bomb buildings in Canada, while intelligence officers sought ties between the 17 suspects and Islamic terror cells in the United States and five other nations.)Islamic Militia Seizes Somalia's Capital (MOGADISHU, Somalia - An Islamic militia with alleged links to al-Qaida seized Somalia's capital Monday after weeks of fighting with U.S.-backed secular warlords, raising fears that the nation could fall under the sway of Osama bin Laden's terrorist organization.)
--------------Tuesday's article, "A More Sure Word" by Jack Kinsella, will also be linked to the Daily Update page.
EXCERPT:
All the world's large religions have their sacred texts; from Islam to Buddhism to Confucianism to the various Celtic and pagan religions. But among the world's sacred texts, the Bible stands uniquely above them all.That is no insignificant claim; Webster's Dictionary defines 'unique' as "different from all others; having no like or equal."
