  Will this be the next 'earth quakes in one place after another' come down?

  "Furthermore, despite dramatic reductions, the United States and Russia still retain awesome arsenals of nuclear warheads. According to a research group called the Committee on Nuclear Policy, some 5,000 nuclear weapons are currently on hair-trigger alert. "Therefore," their report states, "if a launch order were sent under current circumstances, 4,000 [intercontinental ballistic missile] warheads (2,000 on each side) could be on their way to their targets within a few minutes and another 1,000 [submarine-launched ballistic missile] warheads could be en route to targets shortly thereafter.""
  
  As we all know, yesterday the American and Russian leaders agreed to destroy or dispand two thirds of precisely these type of weapons.

  In which case...I think it's 1 Thessalonians 5:3 time again!!! Whenever it is that they are saying: "Peace and security!" then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them

  Dohhhh....I give up...

  Interesting that during the amassing of these weapons, the succesive articles pointed out the increasing numbers of missiles and now, even prior to yesterdays announcement the article begins... 'despite dramatic reductions'.
  Do you remember the 'faint out of fear' scripture often quoted as relating to such weapons and part of the 'sign'?

  They've changed their ideas on the faint out of fear scripture. Apparantly now it means that the wicked (especially apostates so I'm told by my study conductor) will become faint out of fear at the expectation of things to come - meaning they're aware of their impending destruction and are scared shitless about it because Jah is making his presence known. World leaders will soon come to the realisation that God does exist and they'll piss themselves....or so I've bin told in not so many words.....
