In the late 70's and early 80's the threat of war between U.S.S.R and The U.S.A. seemed to be inevitable. A British citizen, felt the danger and lived in fear of this conflict. He begin to search for what he thought he would be in a safer place for them to live, in the British Common wealth. After he moved and got resettled he wrote a friend back where he lived in Canada and in the letter he wrote these beginning words,
"Greetings from the Falkland Islands" April 2, 1982.
It was the very day the battle for the ‘Falklands War' broke out and it lasted for 74 days, and it was over but there was loss of life on both sides, which is never easy on families and communities.
There are queries about the impending sense of doom that many are talking about today, a spirit of WHAT IF?
A question concerning about the sleeper cells in America who had an open door to come in during the last administration. Not to mention the illegals will go to the polls in a few days to cast a vote. With all of this what about those who now receive social security benefits without being qualified? These questions hang in the air over us and remain unanswered. These are perplexing issues for our generation. Perplexity is a Bible word and for many it begs an answer.
Perplex, Perplexity:
Translated "perplexity" in Luke 21:25 (lit., "at a loss for a way," a, negative, pores, "a way, resource"), of the distress of nations, finding no solution to their embarrassments; illustrations:
In the sense of being at one's wit's end, at a loss how to proceed, without resources. The day we live in books like these are being written:
We live in a day when men are ever learning but never coming to a knowledge of the truth. For instance:
The total amount of the world's newly generated digital information is expected to have exploded by 60%--to 8 exabytes [in 2005] from 5 exabytes in 2003, according to figures and extrapolations developed by the University of California at Berkeley. That means that [in one year] the world will generate 57,000 times the total of all information in the Library of Congress.
An exabyte is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes, or 1 billion billion. All human spoken words in history are calculated to be 5 exabytes. Information in magnetic media (such as business digital information) account for more than 90% of this staggering total. U.C. Berkeley estimates that global information increases about 30% per year.
Each year around a million books are printed (that's titles, not copies), 25,276 newspapers are published (that is separate newspaper titles), 40,000 scholarly journals, 80,000 mass-market periodicals, 40,000 newsletters.
Estimates based on the Netcraft Web server survey for January 2008 show there are over 155.5 million distinct websites, an increase of over 33 million from six months before.
But what good is a head full of knowledge if our hearts are empty and we lack peace of mind and purpose in life? These are not even the latest statistics. One of our young men is loading AI and being paid an incredible sum for his knowledge in his field of computer science.
What is the Bible Key to prophecy? God has given us His Key. It is the TIME-CLOCK and there are many references to this matter.
ISRAEL IS GOD'S TIME-CLOCK TO PROPHECY
We have read and seen for ourselves the uptick in earthquakes in various places, signs in the heavens and what about this:
The First Domino? The Red Heifer and the Third Temple
A topic gaining attention in discussions about biblical prophecy is the red heifer. For some, this might seem like an obscure detail from the Old Testament. However, its significance is tied directly to the purification rituals required for temple service.
Why a Cow Could Shake Nations
In the book of Numbers, specific instructions were given for a ceremony involving a red heifer to create waters of purification. Numbers 19 describes how the ashes of a completely red, unblemished cow that had never been yoked were to be used to cleanse people from ritual impurity, specifically impurity from contact with a dead body.
I understand that Red Heifer's have now been found through genetic research. This is just one of the important signs that is spoke of by prophecy students through the years. An old song sung by believers on tiptoe with bated breath was:
KEEP LOOKING UP, JESUS IS NOT ONLY LOOKING DOWN, ONE DAY HE IS COMING DOWN.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES
Wars and strife on every hand and violence fills our land,
And some people doubt if He'll ever come again,
But the Word of God is true He'll redeem His chosen few,
Don't lose hope for soon Jesus will descend.
CHORUS
Signs of the times are everywhere,
And there's a brand new feeling in the air,
So keep your eyes upon the eastern sky,
Lift up your heads
Your redemption draweth nigh.
KEEP LOOKING UP, JESUS IS NOT ONLY LOOKING DOWN, ONE DAY HE IS COMING DOWN.
