AMERICA "BUCKLING?"
As we speak (December, 2006), China holds ONE TRILLION American dollars. Hours ago Iran announced that the Iranian Central Bank is converting the state's foreign dollar assets into Euros, and it will be using the Euro for foreign transactions (what are the consequences for America if oil becomes pegged worldwide to the Euro? Russia is also talking about disconnecting oil sales from the US dollar). The war in Iraq is costing American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. Americans have reached record personal debts backed up with negative savings. Our government (and North Korea) are printing hundred-dollar-bills as fast as the presses can crank them out. We have a giant national debt. We have no energy policy, and we get over half of our oil from other nations, etc. http://bible-truths.com/towers.htm
Interesting that much of what Ray said nearly two years ago, seems to be coming to pass...
Alas, alas that GREAT CITY Babylon, that MIGHTY CITY! For in one hour is your judgment come" (Rev. 18:10).
Ironically, the South Tower collapsed in just 56 minutes after being impacted. Is God sending us a message?
"And [they] cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!"
But Lord..Who has believed our Report.....

Hi Jackie Lee
I've read this article and parts of it several times now over the last few years, One of the facinating pieces of information i have learned from this article, is how the world has transitioned itself from one Aion...to another... Pre-9-11 to Post 9-11.
One age ending, another age beginning. All through history we seem to have these "ages" "Iron age" Bronze age, Agriculture age, industrial age, information age, . But this seems to be the first time the conclusion of an aion has involved such an event as 9-11.
I wonder just what this new age will bring, and for how long.
One piece of scripture seem to indicate that we will not go down in flames...But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, Mat 24:37-38
Just some thoughts to ponder

Hi Chris,
Interesting thoughts. I would think with such a ominous start and the things we already see happening, this age is going to be rough.
Mark 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
v. 20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
But we can not forget by which all this is come, and we know if He is indwelling we can stand without fear.
Luke 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
mercy, peace and love
