Are you sensing the change? I sure am. Consider Washington's surprise decision to talk with Iran and Syria  Read about it here  I  And here. It appears that this meeting is part of a much broader, geo-political strategy game. For example, take a look at these two -- probably related -- news reports Read about it here  I  And here. 

The international game board is complicated. However, there are patters for us to perceive -- especially if we accurately understand the end-time prophecies. It's my view that, based on the prophecies and the facts before us, the Middle East may soon enter into a short period of false peace. If so, when the peace ends, our world could experience unprecedented destruction. And while the destruction is occurring, we people of God could be the target of a globally waged religious war -- a war against both body and spirit.

Have you noticed all the natural disasters we have been experiencing? Yesterday we had another in Alabama that killed at least 19. Many deaths were caused by a direct hit by a tornado on -- of all places -- a high school filled with teachers and kids Read about it here.

If you are a regular at FP, you are aware that I usually don't pay too much attention to natural disasters. I prefer instead to follow the clear, geo-political elements of prophecy -- things that in my book I call, "road signs" Read about it here. You will also seldom find me discussing dreams. But, that doesn't mean I don't have them. Since I mentioned a natural disaster, and since at the time of writing my internet is down and I can't check the news, I might as well share a dream I had last night too.

In my dream I was in a small outbuilding -- the type found on a farm. The room was so bare that I felt fortunate to have electricity. A screen of some kind had been placed on the wall and a few old chairs of various kinds were gathered around. It became obvious why I was there. It was to give my powerpoint presentations. It also became obvious that, once again, there would be very few attending.

Before starting my presentation, I decided to find a rest room. Having none in the small building I was in, I walked next door to a huge metal farm building. As I reached the large doorway, the owner of the farm approached. It turned out to be a relative -- someone who shared with me the same long religious tradition. I told him about my presentation. I said the prophecies that we have long believed in are finally coming to pass. I invited him to drop in and see. He told me he had something to do that evening. I explained that it was a series, he could drop by tomorrow evening or the next. He said he would be busy then too. That's when I woke up. 

Friends, Jesus tasked us all to take His gospel to the nations. And the way it looks, we don't have much time left. The most tragic part to this situation is, neither do those have time to whom Jesus wants us to reach. We need to put down our minor doctrinal differences and get to work. If you don't know how, just ask Jesus. Believe me, He will answer that request (John 15:16). In fact, my book and FP are an answer to such a prayer.

You too may not believe in all the things that I've been reporting. But, I bet you're still sensing the change.

It's time to commit. It's time to work.
