It is ridiculous to pinpoint a particular baby or a group of babies

as being “the” baby or “within” a selected group of babies. There is no way to scientifically do it.

However, scientists agree there is no question the world population is increasing. and it is now becoming more and more difficult to feed it. We will continue to see famine increase in the Old World of the time when John wrote Revelation.

We are in the initial stages of the beginning of sorrows which will phase abruptly into 3 & ½ years of Tribulation ending at the final battle of Armageddon terminated by the 2nd Advent of Messiah and beginning of his Millennial Reign.

Revelation 11:2,3 – But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [3] And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

At the end of the 3 & 1/3 years of being surrounded, the Lord will return at his 2nd Advent to deliver her from her great trial in the Negev Wilderness.

Zechariah 13:9 – And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

[3] Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. [4] And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. [5] And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

“AND THE LORD SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH”

Zechariah 14: 8,9 – And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. [9] And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

Matthew 24:7,8 – For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.

In previous prophecy updates we have discussed the importance of the word “odin”, which is the Greek word translated “sorrows” in Matthew 24:8. It refers to the birth pangs experienced by a woman in childbirth. So in using this word Jesus indicates they will follow this pattern just before he comes again. A woman’s birth pains begin with a single pain and then continue to increase in frequency and intensity until the child is born. These three phenomena, earthquakes, famine, and pestilence had never, in historical records, followed this pattern until Old Jerusalem and the Temple Mount were taken from the Jordanians in 1967. Since that time all three have developed such a pattern. In the two previous prophecy updates we covered earthquakes and pestilence. But what about famine, is it also following the same pattern? Absolutely! The population explosion that has suddenly burst on the scene should come as no surprise to mankind.

The world’s population has roughly, in somewhat similar manner, followed the principle of daily doubling pennies.

Suppose that someone proposed to give you five billion dollars if you would double a penny he gave you for forty days.

Would you take the deal? A single penny on the first day would produce two cents on the second day, four cents on the third day, eight cents on the fourth day, sixteen cents on the fifth day, thirty-two cents on the sixth day, sixty-four cents on the seventh day, and only $1.28 on the eighth day. So, based on what you’ve re ad so f

ar, it seems like a pretty good deal.

But on day forty you would have to fork over move than five billion dollars. This principle is now being added into the famine equation.

The world’s famine outbreaks in the developing countries have been occurring closer and closer together in time since World War II, and this trend, like a woman’s birth pangs, will definitely accelerate until Jesus comes. Why? A few thousand years ago eight men and women descended in an ark “upon the mountains of Ararat,” and then began to multiply. At first, like the penny, the increase was slow and insignificant numerically.

buy imuran

When Jesus was born, the world population had only reached about 200 million. When Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, it had only reached 400 million. But, like the multiplying multiples of the penny, it began to accelerate about the time of the Civil War, and exploded after the Great Depression of the thirties. In 1989 the world population reached five billion and, the same year, eleven million of the earth’s residents died of starvation. The world population passed six billion in October of 1999, and is predicted to reach ten billion in 2030. There is no way under heaven that the developing countries across the Bible Lands of Asia and Africa, where most of this increase is forecast to occur, can fail to have an ever increasing, massive famine. Some say the population will only reach 8.5 billion in 2030. But even if this is true, how can the additional 3.5 billion be fed if 11 million died of starvation in 1989 with a population of only five billion.

In the late seventies, when I wrote my second book, The Tribulation Triad, I pointed out that the famines absolutely had to continue to increase in frequency and intensity. It is even more of a sure thing today! One might suppose that the prediction of thirty million Africans dying from AIDS during the next quarter century, would cause the predicted population growth to be canceled out. Nothing could be farther from the truth!

In spite of this staggering AIDS toll, Africa’s population is expected to double during this time period.

tural technology will solve the famine problem. No way! The latest U.N. study found ten percent of the world’s soil profile badly damaged. The three-year study accessed soil conditions on a global scale, and involved more than 250 soil scientists. It marked the first time since World War II that soil profiles had been assessed on a global scale. As reported by Larry B. Stammer in the Los Angeles Times, the study found that “about two-thirds of all seriously eroded land is in Asia and Africa, home to most of the world’s poor.” The article, using the report as its basis, stated: “ Despite the much acclaimed green revolution of the past several decades, which produced unprecedented gains in food production through the introduction of fertilizers and hybrid grains, the per-capita food production has declined in about eighty developing countries in the past decade.” The report, Vital Signs 1993: The Trends That Are Shaping Our Future, as reported by David Brisco in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette of July 18, 1993, stated: “This new report shows the first clear sign that population is outpacing the food available for humans. The trend is mostly because of record world population growth, but also reflects a slowdown in decades of increasing food supplies. The main sources of food – farms, ranches, and oceans – all appear to be approaching, or may have reached, their maximum per-capita output, according to Vital Signs 1993.” The simple truth is this, the world’s maximum food production, since the mid-nineties, has not been able to keep up with the stork, and the ever increasing population will cause it to fall farther and farther behind. Earthquakes, pestilence, and famine will continue to increase the pain of God’s creation while it awaits the manifestation of his sons at the appearance of his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

The seven billionth babies arrive

Monday, 31 October 2011

She came into the world at two minutes before midnight, a tiny, wrinkled girl born into a struggling Manila family and a symbol of the world’s population reaching 7 billion people and all the worries that entails for the planet’s future.

Danica May Camacho, born in a crowded public hospital, was welcomed with a chocolate cake marked “7B Philippines” and a gift certificate for free shoes. There were bursts of photographers’ flashes, and speeches by local officials.

The celebrations reflected symbolism more than demography. Amid the millions of births and deaths around the world each day, it is impossible to pinpoint the arrival of the globe’s 7 billionth occupant. But the UN chose today to mark the day with a string of festivities worldwide, and a series of symbolic 7-billionth babies being born.

Danica was the first, arriving at Manila’s Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital at two minutes before midnight on Sunday – but doctors say that was close enough to count for a Monday birthday.

Demographers say it took until 1804 for the world to reach its first billion people, and a century more until it hit 2 billion in 1927. The twentieth century, though, saw things begin to cascade: 3 billion in 1959; 4 billion in 1974; 5 billion in 1987; 6 billion in 1998.

1mg finasteride propecia

The UN estimates the world’s population will reach 8 billion by 2025 and 10 billion by 2083. But the numbers could vary widely, depending on everything from life expectancy to access to birth control to infant mortality rates.

In Uttar Pradesh, India – the most populous state in the world’s second-most populous country – officials said they would be appointing seven girls born today to symbolise the 7 billion.

India, which struggles with a deeply held preference for sons and a skewed sex ratio because of millions of aborted female foetuses, is using the day to highlight that issue.

“It would be a fitting moment if the 7 billionth baby is a girl born in rural India,” said Dr Madhu Gupta, an Uttar Pradesh gynaecologist. “It would help in bringing the global focus back on girls, who are subject to inequality and bias.”

Turkey’s Erdogan holds Assad’s fate in his hands

Syrian protesters and army defectors can only dent Assad’s iron hold on the country, unless, that is, Turkey continues to silently sponsor his opponents.

By Anshel Pfeffer

Published 16:52 30.10.11

It’s been eight months of bloody crackdowns, and Bashar Assad is still standing. NATO, the Arab League, and the United Nations would never confront him, whether his men continue to slaughter dozens of civilians every day, or not. He is flanked by Iran and Hezbollah, with Russia and China continuing to back him up diplomatically.

Even the defections from his military and the rebellions within it have yet to endanger Assad’s rule, and will continue to fail as long as the Alwai top brass remains loyal to the president.

doxycycline cat

As of now, they have no one else to be loyal to.

But, it appears that Assad has one weak point, one to which his adversaries are aiming for with a pointed dagger. The one man holding Assad’s future in his hands is Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose soldiers have in the last four months, silently and surely, created a buffer zone between the two countries.

Last week, the Turkish Foreign Ministry invited global media outlets to hold interviews with Colonel Riad al-Assad, the leader of the Free Syrian Army, an organization that has already began targeting Syrian forces along the Turkey-Syria border, and that includes many army defectors.

The Free Syrian Army cannot threaten the Assad regime in any real way, but, with Turkish backing, it has begun to expand a limited enclave along the northern part of the border.

Meanwhile, the bloody confrontations between Assad’s military and Syrian protesters – protesters who are gradually morphing into armed rebels – have been concentrated in three cities: Idlib, Hama, and Homs in northwestern Syria.

Those three cities are perpendicular to the border with Turkey in the north, and serve as the axis around which a rebel stronghold may be formed in the coming weeks and months.

If Turkey continues to sponsor these activities, Syria will find it very difficult to retake that area. And if that line stabilizes, it will soon turn into a wedge that will sever Syria from its only seaports in Latakia and Tartus. That would pose as a strategic threat to Assad’s rule.

Just as the rebellion in Libya began in earnest when the rebels took over Benghazi, so will the fall of Itlib, Hama, and Homs mark the end of the Assad line. It all depends on Erdogan’s will.

Report: 30 Syria soldiers killed in clashes with army defectors

Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says rebel gunmen ambushed a Syrian army bus, leaving dozens killed and wounded.

By The Associated Press and DPA

Published 17:22 30.10.11

At least 30 Syrian troops were killed in recent clashes with rebel forces, a Syrian rights group said on Sunday, with another group indicating that forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad killed over 300 civilians since the Arab League gave Damascus a deadline to enact a cease-fire.

best cialis levitra viagra which

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that a clash Saturday night in the restive central city of Homs between soldiers and gunmen believed to be army defectors left at least 20 soldiers dead and 53 wounded.

It also said gunmen ambushed a bus carrying security officers late Saturday in the northwestern province of Idlib, killing at least 10 security agents. One attacker was also killed.

The Associated Press could not verify the activists’ accounts. Syria has banned most foreign media and restricted local coverage, making it impossible to get independent confirmation of the events on the ground. Syria’s state-run news agency SANA, said seven members of the military and police, who were killed in Homs and the suburbs of Damascus were buried Sunday.

More than 3,000 people, including 187 children, have been killed in the government’s clampdown, according to the United Nations.

The Local Coordination Committees, another activist group, said Sunday that 343 people, including 20 children, have been killed in Syria since Oct. 16, when the Cairo-based Arab League gave Damascus a 15-day deadline to enact a cease-fire.

A meeting was scheduled for later Sunday in Qatar between an Arab committee set up by the 22-member Arab League and a Syrian delegation expected to be headed by Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem.

The unrest in Syria could send unsettling ripples through the region, as Damascus’ web of alliances extends to Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah movement, the militant Palestinian Hamas and Iran’s Shiite theocracy.

Unlike Gadhafi, Syrian President Bashar Assad enjoys a number of powerful allies that give him the means to push back against the outside pressure. A conflict in Syria risks touching off a wider Middle East conflict with arch foes Israel and Iran in the mix.

buy zithromax non-prescription

Syria wouldn’t have to look far for prime targets to strike, sharing a border with U.S.-backed Israel and NATO-member Turkey.

The reported incident took place as Assad warned on Sunday that Western interference in his country could cause an “earthquake” that would “burn the whole region” and transform the country into “another Afghanistan.”

“Syria is the hub now in this region. It is the fault line, and if you play with the ground you will cause an earthquake,” said Assad in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph.

“Do you want to see another Afghanistan, or tens of Afghanistans?”

His comments come after protesters took to the streets on Friday demanding the imposition of a no-fly zone in the country to protect civilians from government crackdowns.

Assad admitted to the newspaper that “many mistakes” had been made by his forces in the early part of the uprising, but insisted that only ” terrorists”

KABUL, Afghanistan – Gen. John R. Allen, commander of International Security Assistance Force, condemns today’s terrorist attacks that killed and injured several Afghan and coalition forces as well as innocent civilian men, women and children.

I am both saddened and outraged by the attacks that took place today against coalition forces and the people of Afghanistan,” said Allen. “The enemies of peace are not martyrs, but murderers. To hide the fact that they are losing territory, support, and the will to fight, our common enemy continues to employ suicide attackers to kill innocent Afghan fathers, mothers, sons and daughters, as well as the coalition forces who have volunteered to protect them.”

The three incidents today included a vehicle-born improvised explosive device detonating in Kabul, causing a number of coalition and civilian casualties; an individual wearing an Afghan National Army uniform apparently turned his weapon on Afghan and coalition forces in southern Afghanistan, killing three ISAF service members and wounding several others; and a teenage girl carried out a suicide attack on a National Directorate of Security building in the eastern province of Kunar, killing herself and wounding several NDS personnel.

“My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed and injured in today’s attacks,” Allen added. “Their sacrifices will be honored and the enemy will be held to account.”

This Week in History: The 1983 Beirut barracks bombing

By MICHAEL OMER-MAN

10/28/2011 12:09

Attack was one of first massive bombings by elements that later formed Hezbollah, led to withdrawal of US armed forces from Lebanon.

Early in the morning of October 23, 1983, a Mercedes truck arrived at the Beirut International Airport, which was housing a battalion of United States Marines at the time, blew up the barracks and killed 299 US service members. A second attack minutes later killed 58 French paratroopers across town.

The bombing, taking place in the midst of the Lebanese Civil War, was one of the first carried out by elements of what would soon become Hezbollah.

The yellow truck that slammed into the ground floor of the Marine Corps barracks that day was packed with gas canisters and explosives creating a blast with the equivalent explosive power of 20,000 pounds of TNT. The bed of the truck was lined with concrete, a design intended to direct the blast upwards into the building, which was literally lifted off the ground before falling back upon itself and its inhabitants.

The attack represented the single deadliest day for US Marines since the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. The French had not seen such devastation since the Battle of Algiers two decades earlier.

In addition, he was tied to the 1996 bombing of another US military barracks, this time at the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 US military personnel.

In 2008, Mughniyeh was assassinated in Damascus by a bomb placed in the headrest of his car, an attack attributed to Israeli intelligence by foreign media.

That is the only conclusion that can be reached by an impressive report from the Commission on Wartime Contracting, the result of three years of work.

A total of $12 million every day for 10 years has been lost in fraud and waste.

In an era when the United States is facing great financial challenges, this is an outrage.

At least $31 billion has been lost in waste and fraud, perhaps as much as $60 billion. Why the great disparity? Because the financial controls are basically nonexistent. And the actual documents of

This must be really bad.

The real question is not what contractors have failed to do but how they succeed at anything. There is a lack of planning, oversight, competition and follow-up at nearly every turn.

In fact, the commission said American funds are being diverted to the insurgents and warlords, and we don’t even know how much.

The commission identified three general kinds of fraud and abuse:

– An ill-conceived project that does not fit the cultural norms.

– Poor planning and oversight by the U.S. government, combined with poor performance by contractors.

In many cases, the U.S. did not have the capability of overseeing so much work.

– Criminal behavior and blatant corruption.

Most contract employees come from Third World countries, not the U.S. or Afghanistan. But the U.S. has poured more money into the Afghanistan nation than the economy can support.

Therefore, villagers have been paid to do what they used to do voluntarily, for instance.

The commission calls for sweeping reform, but it must be admitted that the challenge of reforming the Afghanistan culture is a job that looks impossible to Americans exhausted by a 10-year war.

The mob

This is like doing business with Tony Soprano.

For instance, the U.S. pays Afghan contractors to provide trucking services. Then they hire subcontractors. The subcontractors then pay insurgent groups for protection because insurgents either control the roads or have the ability to attack.

This did not happen as much in Iraq, where the U.S. provided most of the protection.

The commission reported that one USAID program in Kumar Province paid up to 20 percent of total contractor value for insurgent protection. Could the Mafia shake down any better?

Little competition

Often, it was a matter of awarding work and then giving continuing renewals.

One contract to Kellogg Brown and Root had one base year followed by nine option years. Nice work if you can get it. The contract was worth $36.3 billion.

In a classic understatement, the commission reported, “Afghan subcontractors have proven to be unreliable, while agency oversight has been especially difficult to implement.”

Perfect crimes

To make matters worse, few cases of fraud are prosecuted.

A big part of the problem is that Afghanistan culture includes bribes and kickbacks as part of doing business.

Part of the cost of doing business is subcontractors using forced labor, slavery and sexual exploitation.

All this waste is more than financial.

It is wasting the reputation of the United States.

Frankly, reading this report is painful.

How could the generation that saw the disaster that was Vietnam wind up in this situation?
