Current Events-Reserve Currency Alternative

Rumor has it that the IMF will announce a world reserve currency alternative on October 20th. After doing my own research, it appears to be just that, rumor. I checked the IMF page itself and such an announcement or anything closely related to it is nowhere to be found. However, I did find an interesting section on the IMF webpage.

Apparently, religion plays a role in the IMF as outlined in this section of its webpage. The word "Islamic", is used casually and nonchalantly, as if it were in use for what appears to be a long time now. It includes descriptions of how the religion views finance, what is or isn't prohibited, and uses specific terms like "sukuk"-Islamic equivalent for bonds-to add further to its advocacy thereof.

Current Events-Pope attacks capitalism

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/video-pope-francis-tell-congress-220003605.html

Pope Francis will denounce the inequalities of capitalism when he becomes the first pontiff to address Congress on his visit to the U.S. in September, according to his closest adviser.

Perhaps he is more than a pope...

In any case...we are well on our way towards a socialist New World Order.

Current Events-7 Year peace treaty

The Vatican made headlines around the world Wednesday by announcing that it hasfinalized an agreement with the Palestinian state on Catholic Church activities within Palestinian territories. While that announcement was the Holy See's most explicit statement to date recognizing Palestinian statehood, by no means did it mark a change in Vatican policy.

Moving forward towards the 7 year peace treaty and the Great Tribulation.

Current Events-US & China

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/05/13/china-warning-us-south-china-sea-islands/27229987/

WASHINGTON — The Chinese government gave a stern warning Wednesday that it will protect its sovereignty in the South China Sea after a cat-and-mouse pursuit of a U.S. warship by a Chinese frigate.

The Pentagon will continue to patrol, from air and sea, the area around the Spratly islands, Army Col. Steve Warren said Wednesday. International law does not recognize man-made islands as extensions of the mainland, Warren said.

Would the US dare poke a sleeping giant? A sleeping giant who has the power to turn off the lights in the CONUS?

Current Events-Summer is near...

Current Events news include the following headlines:

1-7.4 earthquake in Nepal

2.RFID chips embedded in credit cards

3.Less people identifying themselves as Christian.

And this is Matthew 24:

“Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[e] is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Jeremiah 8:20

Of whom shall it be said?

“The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved.”

Current Events-Russo-American Relationship

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2015/05/12/kerry-putin-russia-talks/27163671/

Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Russia on Tuesday to meet with President Vladimir Putin for talks on Ukraine at a time when relations between the one-time Cold War rivals are once again chilly.

Kerry's short visit to Sochi will be only his second trip to Russia since taking office. He visited Moscow in May 2013 and met with Putin and Lavrov before the Ukraine crisis erupted and Russia annexed Crimea in early 2014.

Current Events-Not cool to be Christian

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/05/12/christians-drop-nones-soar-in-new-religion-portrait/27159533/

The percentage of people who describe themselves as Christians fell about 8 points — from 78.4% to 70.6%. This includes people in virtually all demographic groups, whether they are "nearing retirement or just entering adulthood, married or single, living in the West or the Bible Belt," according to the survey report.

Atheists and agnostics have nearly doubled their share of the religious marketplace, and overall indifference to religion of any sort is rising as well. 

It feels like USAToday is proud to report this. Hostility towards Christians will be on the increase. No surprise there. But why? Because we are aware of the Truth and in a time and age where deceit reigns, we don't fit in.

"It's because we're right," crowed David Silverman, president of American Atheists. He hadn't yet seen the Pew findings, but commented based on other surveys he said showed nones rising numbers. Indeed, it's the public attention given to "nones" in the last decade, combined with the wide-open access to anti-religious discussion on the Internet, that drives the change, Silverman said.

"More people know the facts, and more people realize they are not alone," Silverman said. And with these shifts, the stigma of coming out as an atheist is lessening.

"It's now impossible for an atheist to think he is alone in this world. They are automatically empowered," said Silverman.

The bulk of the "nones" (15.8%, up from 12.1% in 2007) don't even commit to any view on God. Instead, they say they believe "nothing in particular."

LOL! I can't judge the lost since I did not choose Him, He chose me. But I cant fathom what it must feel like to think like the above....
