SUDDEN HURRICANE AND ONE NAMED EIGHT

CNN  tonight (Australian time) reported that 'Sudden hurricane hits Texas' and that Humberto snuck up on us.  Even more interesting is that there is a watch on another tropical depression named (unusually) Eight - near the start of Rosh Hashana and the shift into Jewish year 5768.  With a number of strong earthquakes in Indonesia and political changes in Japan and Russia, the birth pangs of God's eternal purposes are strong.  Worth noting the excerpt from my letter from a few days ago (Psalm 83 - Message from a Bog).  

Verse 11 highlights the role of the weather in God’s strategies - especially the incredible thunderstorm that bogged Sisera.  The Psalmist goes on to pray for the weather to come to intervene and includes these interesting words (Amplified) that could refer to the United States:  verse 15  “Afflict then with Your tempest and terrify them with Your tornado or hurricane.”  

Why?  The answer is in verse 12 those ‘Who say Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God!’  The two State policy supported by Bush/Rice is wrong on two counts - that it overrides the national sovereignty of Israel, but more importantly that it flies in the face of God’s sovereignty and His Word!  This is dangerous ground!  Maranatha!!
