Ted, what you wrote was very interesting. I sent my first post the day before it was put on the fivedoves site. I am hearing from others having some of the same words from the Lord. Plus, today I was reading a book about Daniel written by David Jeremiah called "The Handwriting On The Wall". In it he stated that the Medes and Persians overran Babylon and killed Belshazzar on the sixteenth of Tishri in 539BC. He said that corresponded to our October 11 or 12 that year. Well, that is when I got the word from God and the other lady I mentioned could do nothing but cry since her heart was broken. It was also the same day the the North Korean general said everything would be settled in one week. God uses anniversaries and special dates repeatedly through history.  Now today, I read on worldnetdaily about some in our government mocking God and using money meant for faith based initiatives for other uses. Sounds a bit like Belshazzar's feast to me. God will not be mocked. He has had about enough of America's pride. I saw a man on CNN the other night talking about how we are the world's only superpower. I consider anybody with a nuclear weapon a superpower. But he too sounded like old Nebuchadnezzar who said that his kingdom was the greatest and how he had done it. We are only a superpower through God's grace. He did it, not us.  I cringe when I hear stuff like these examples I have sited. All one has to do is read the Bible and see what God has done to others who would not give Him the glory or worship Him.  All I can do is shake my head and be sure I have repented of everything I can find. I sure want to be on God's team when this all breaks loose. I still dont know if what is supposed to happen this week is big or small, a beginning or an end. We will just have to wait and see.  Libby
