Another "Birth Pang"?

It seem a though Earth is in the middle of another "birth pang" that should be recognized as an indication that we are near the end. Jesus said, " MT 24:4 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, `I am the Christ, ' 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.

He went on to add much more including verse 9 which says," 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 he 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.


I felt that during the time of "The Tsunami" in the Indian Ocean, several earthquakes and other natural disasters that stuck in a short time period, we were witnessing a "birth pang". Another seems to have come about the time the stock market began its recent crash.

July 1, 2008 I published, "What in the World is Going on" it included the following paragraph:
In the last 45 days we have had leading the news stories of rice shortage, a devastating storm in Myanmar, earthquakes in (China, Reno Nv., Japan, Greece) a volcano in Chile, A years worth of acreage burned up in the U.S. before summer, Oil and Gas out of control, a pitiful primary election, the U.S. economy going south fast, and the islamofascists rattling constantly. If this is not a "birth pang" (Matt 24:4-8) then I don't know what is. People in general are full of tension, they can feel it. Everywhere everything is about to explode

On Oct 10, 2008 I published "WOW, is a Famine Next?", it was in relation to the banking/mortgage/global economic crises.

Now we seem to be in another "Birth Pang". It began with Hamas taunting Israel, with rocket fire, from the Gaza Stripe, and Israel retaliating. There were also a few large Earthquakes, including the one near Japan and Russia, floods in the western U.S. and a cold snap. Then George Bush made a comment about separate sovereign states for Israel and the Palestinians. The result was a reversal of the January rise in the stock market to a 5.5% loss. It is too early to tell if the Inauguration of Barak Obama is part of the "Birth pang' of judgement.
"Birth Pangs" of judgement are directly related to support, or lack of, for Israel. There is an excellent book on this subject detailing judgements on America for not supporting Israel by Bill Koenig. his website is Http://www.watch.org/index.html?mcat=1
One thing for certain, the "birth pangs" are getting closer together!

Since I posted this we can add: 1 Kentucky ice storm, a super cold January, 3 volcanoes (Hawaii, Japan, Alaska), a deeping faster falling Global ecomony (so says Prime Minister Brown and President Obama) and a double wammy snowstorm in southern England, where the people don't own snowshovels or plows. Even the Tube can't run. They are crippled there!
