    As it was in the beginning so shall it be at the end, the signs of what to come. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but God’s Words shall not, we are nearing the end of time.

    Really no where is safe on the face of the earth. Man everywhere needs to repent call upon God and put their house in order. Christ is coming soon. The bible says this is only the beginning of sorrows. Truly we need God today more than ever.
