Keith’s Endtimes Update Nr. 2

Dear Friends,

In my last end Times letter. I spoke about the coming financial crisis. Since then, Pres Obama in the USA has commenced its plans for financial reform. Although this has not been received well by those who believe in small government. Stop as I indicated in my last letter, Mrs Merkel's CDU lost the election is mostly due to the People's opposition to Germany is always being the one expected to bail out the euro zone. England's new coalition government has set off to a good start, but few have confidence in its durability. So we have yet to see any real economic recovery. The result of Next weeks interim budget may be interesting to Observe . The International economic crisis continues and as yet, we do not know where it will lead. More about that later......

This week, I want to concentrate on what is going on in the world of nature and science. Here again, I am not an expert. Just a keen observer since the beginning of the year. We have seen earthquake is in Haiti, Chile, and China. We have seen landslides in Brazil, and regardless of what scientists say about global warming, w in Europe have experienced one of the coldest winters for many years, and the weather is only beginning to warm up this weekend. In the past couple of weeks, we have had the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, from the United States, we have heard about the drying up of the Ogallala aquifer, which irrigates most of the United States Great Plains region. We could see the return of the 1930s “Great Dust Bowl”. Drought is becoming more widespread. Then, alongside these disasters. We are becoming aware of just how many honey bee colonies are under threat around the world. We have seen reports that between 30 and 40% of colonies died during the severe winter in Europe and America. Other colonies have been attacked by a virulent virus, which kills whole colonies and is spreading fast throughout Europe. We need honeybees to fertilize our crops, what will happen if we do not have these to fertilize our crops or water to help them grow. One of the horse men of the Apocalypse, described in the book of Revelation brought with him famine, at an unimaginable level. Could we see that in our days?

In the past, we could trust our scientists point us in the right direction, but in recent years. They have become politicized as a result of the climate change debate, and some claim have produced false data in order to support their claims. Others have become involved in genetic modification, in order to produce “super crops.” In their politicization, many have become trapped into a sort of globalized view of the world, which will only be answered by some sort of globalized world governments. As was proposed by sound in last year's Copenhagen conference. It is interesting to note that many propose as an answer for Europe's financial problems. A united European government. How long will it be before somebody seriously proposes one World government..... oh, I'm sorry. That's already happening both sides of the pond.

What should our response be to all of this craziness? Well, the Boy Scouts taught us that we should always be prepared, and I think that is a good watchword.

For many years I have proposed that churches should buy food. Together, as buying co-operatives, saving money for everybody, and being able to give food to the poor. It would also help towards careful, stockpiling of essential foods. Last week I talked to some people who were withdrawing Their investments in shares to rather invest in land, where Christians could produce food together. I already know of house churches that have invested in buying small pieces of forested land, where they can keep bees. This produces an income for the group and helps the local farming economy. Let us all cry out to God for creative and innovative ways to be good stewards of what he has given us.

Next time, I will talk a bit about some of the problems inside the church and some of the significant answers that exist from the church.

Every blessing.

Keith
