I cannot keep up with all the nightly news events, but its exciting to live to see so many prophecies being fulfilled. To me it is good news and encouraging to know he could return at any moment. Don't be discouraged, the Bible says to Look up when you see these signs being fulfilled. I don't make up the news and the Bible was written over 2,000 years ago- even things I heard about 50 years ago are now happening. Someone complained that many church's fail to talk about this exciting event- well I am part of the church, and I just did...
Doomsday Clock moved closer to midnight

(CNN) — The world is closer to doomsday.
That’s the message from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, which moved its iconic Doomsday Clock up two minutes on Thursday. The clock now stands at three minutes to midnight, the “latest” it’s been since 1984, when the Cold War between the U.S. and Soviet Union was a major issue.
“Today, unchecked climate change and a nuclear arms race resulting from modernization of huge arsenals pose extraordinary and undeniable threats to the continued existence of humanity. And world leaders have failed to act with the speed or on the scale required to protect citizens from potential catastrophe,” said Kennette Benedict, executive director of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, in a news release. “These failures of leadership endanger every person on Earth.”
The Bulletin’s Science and Security Board looks at global issues on a regular basis and decides whether to move the minute hand of the clock, with particular stress on the status of nuclear arms and reaction to climate issues.
In recent years, the clock has moved the wrong direction for humanity. After standing at 17 minutes to midnight in 1991 — the furthest it’s ever been from the end of the world — it’s gotten closer each time it’s been changed since, with the exception of 2010, when it was pushed back by one minute to 11:54 p.m.
The last time the clock was moved was in 2012, when it was moved up one minute to 11:55.
The scientists expressed disappointment at the latest developments.
Noting that nuclear trends are moving backwards, the Science and Security Board’s Sharon Squassoni pointed out that weapons modernization programs and disarmament have “ground to a halt.”
And action on climate change? “Efforts at reducing global emissions of heat-trapping gases have so far been entirely insufficient to prevent unacceptable climate disruption,” said the Bulletin’s Richard Somerville. “We all need to respond now, while there is still time.”
The Doomsday Clock was first put out in 1947. The closest the clock has been to midnight was in 1953, when it was set at 11:58 p.m.
I actually made this blog last night for posting later on this week, but when I read todays headlines below, I had to post it today. Its amazing how some will believe Scientists over the Bible- that is your right, but please, be ready- I certainly would not gamble with such a thing- Today I will attend a funeral for a dear Saint who knew Christ and went home to her reward. Make sure you have accepted Christ, and are ready for his return- that is Good News! I am not setting a date, but I am ready, and my time may end before he comes, but that does not change the promise.

“When Christ comes again — as he repeatedly promised to do — he will come through the heavens with glory and power, accompanied by a host of angels. All the earth will see His coming, and even His enemies will realize they have been opposing the Son of God. The Bible says, “Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him…. So shall it be! (Revelation 1:7).”(from Billy Graham)
