Prophetic update

As Yeshua predicted, natural disasters are on the rise. Their stories grabbed headlines in 2011. Even the AP reported, With an almost biblical onslaught of twisters, floods, snow, drought, heat and wildfire, the US in 2011 has seen more weather catastrophes that caused at least $1 billion in damage [12!] than it did in all of the 1980s, even after dollar figures… are adjusted for inflation.

The report noted an alarming trend: During the '80s, the US averaged just one billion-dollar disaster per year. In the '90s… 3.8 per year, then 4.6 [in the next] decade… So far in this decade, after just two years, we have averaged [over seven] billion-dollar disasters per year… ("What Did Jesus Say About 'Natural' Disasters?" Stephen Flurry, theTrumpet.com, 16 Dec. 2011)

Reuters said these disasters are global. Both insurance and weather prediction agencies point to a clear trend: the world's weather is becoming more extreme… Global reinsurer Munich Re says natural catastrophe losses for the first 9 months of 2011 totaled $310 billion, a record… Since 1980, weather disasters globally have more than tripled.

And still nations insist on dividing God's land - not seeing that this brings on them His judgment in the final days (Joel 3:1-2). How can they understand without prophetic voices warning them? Yet many of God's churches are deaf, dumb and blind to His faithfulness to Israel for His holy name's sake (Ezekiel 36:23-36).

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the land.

Psalms 46:10
