Updated: The Trump Peace Plan: Deal or No Deal?

A United Nations General Assembly resolution supporting a two-state solution was endorsed by 142 nations last month. Concurrently, a 20-point peace plan to end the Gaza war has been proposed by Donald Trump. The plan has received support from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but Hamas has not yet accepted it. President Trump has reportedly given Hamas 3 or 4 days to decide, warning of further military action if they reject the deal—deal or no deal? 

“Hamas is either going to be doing it or not, and if it’s not, it’s going to be a very sad end,” he added, noting that there was “not much” room for negotiations.” 

Now, let’s consider all of the above in light of this verse. 

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Dan 9:27 

Is there a connection with that verse and what is happening at the U.N. and with President Trump’s peace plan? As always, time will tell. 

And it looks like things are ramping up on the Israel-Iran front. 

UPDATED 10:00 AM EDT -- Iran Goes on Military Alert; Says Hostilities with Israel and U.S. "Imminent" 

And it also looks like things are ramping up on the Ukraine –Nato-Russia front. 

***** FLASH TRAFFIC ***** URGENT ***** France Army Chief Remarks—military action possible tonight! 

And then there is this; The Americans lifted SIX Boeing E-6 Mercury repeaters into the air. There is reason to be scared. 

And let’s not forget what Socrates said; “100% Chance of Nuclear War.” 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Update: Hamas agrees to parts of Trump’s Gaza plan, seeks more talks, bombing eases

Interesting development, based on past actions, I did not expect Hamas to take the deal, looks like they took some of it. This will have to be watched. Will it morph into the Dan 9:27 peace treaty of prophecy?

President Donald J. Trump's Plan to End the Gaza Conflict
 
1.  Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.
 
2.  Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.
 
3.  If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal.
 
4.  Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned.
 
5.  Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.
 
6.  Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.
 
7.  Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads.
 
8.  Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025 agreement.
 
9.  Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the "Board of Peace," which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump's peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.
 
10.  A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza.
 
11.  A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.
 
12.  No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza.
 
13.  Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarization of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbors.
 
14.  A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people.
 
15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties.
 
16.  Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the Unites States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat.
 
17.  In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.
 
18.   An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace.
 
19.  While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.
 
20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.

The 2025 Prophecy Forecast

 


The latest prophecy data is suggesting that Armageddon will most likely take place in 2028.


If that is the case, then the midpoint will be in early 2025, and the Great Tribulation will begin on 4/19/2025, which necessitates that major prophetic events will take place in 2025.

Thus, if those hypotheses are correct, then here is what I foresee as possibilities for major prophetic events in 2025.


Major UFO Events: Knowing that the antichrist will have UFO alien connections, as we grow closer to the day of his arrival on the scene, aliens and UFOs are sure to make big appearances in spectacular ways. It would not surprise me to see a UFO on the lawn of the White House. 

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Cor 11:14 




The spectacular UFO events are sure to be intertwined with strong religious deceptions precipitating the great falling away spoken of in scripture and leading to a one world religion and worship of the false messiah/antichrist. 

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? Rev 13:14

 

Political Upheaval: Even though the Repubs have won, I do not think the Dems have given up, and I believe they may try to do something to subvert the coming political change. 

Consider this piece of intel; It has come to my attention that United States Congressman Jamie Raskin, (D-MD) has indicated that in January of 2025 Congress will act to disqualify President Trump from being President and then goes on to say that this will bring on civil war in the USA.

https://htrs-special.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Raskin-saying-Disqualify-Trump-Jan-6-2-25.mp4

(Note: By reporting this information to you I am in no way condoning or advocating for civil war, I am merely reporting what the Congressman said.) 

Since the Repubs control both the House and the Senate I do not see Congress taking action against a Repub President. However, it may be possible that since Trump has been charged with a felony the Dems may mount a legal challenge invalidating his presidency. Another possibility is that they will assassinate him under the guise of a lone wolf terrorist action. Will they “take out” President Trump, will civil war break out in the USA?

That is what I believe may be depicted in this I Pet Goat 2 scene--a Psalm 23/Donald signal indicating his death or removal, and then the flag being ripped indicating Civil war.






 

We know from scripture that a political leader will suffer a head wound, die and come back to life, at which time satan will enter his body/control him. So also look for that to happen to somebody on the political scene. 

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. Rev 13:3

 

A Financial Reset: We have been hearing about it for years—the off-world QFS banking system, NESARA, and GESARA. It is basically an all-digital financial system that will eventually include the mark of the beast—no one can buy or sell without it.



The implementation of this system will most likely follow an engineered worldwide hyperinflationary financial collapse. They are sure to make you “an offer that you cannot refuse.” But you must refuse, for all who take the mark will be condemned to hell.


 

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev 13:7

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Rev 14

 

Major War Events: Israel, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, NATO, North Korea, South Korea, China, the list goes on. I expect any day now to wake up to the news that nuclear bombs have gone off somewhere, including terrorist actions. This may be related to my dump truck/explosion dream.



And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Mt 24:6

Consider this piece of intel from The Coming EpiphanyThe ultimate goal of WWIII is to usher in the New World Order with the antichrist as the ruler of the world. According to former Illuminati satanist, Doc Marquis, once World War III begins the antichrist will arise on the world scene in 13 weeks (91 days).

I believe that WW3 began on 2/22/2022 when Russia issued the decree to invade Ukraine. Integrating the 2 pieces of information and assuming what Doc Marquis revealed may be about the nuclear part of WW3, and in light of the 4/19/2025 antichrist hypothesis, then 1/17-18/2025 would be the dates to watch. 

Loss of National Sovereignty

Realizing that the devil and the antichrist will rule the world for 3.5 years necessitates the loss of sovereignty of the nations of the world in deference to a one world government.




Consider what King Charles said on Christmas day 2024; “our shared humanity transcends borders and ideologies” and “It is only by embracing a global framework—a true partnership of nations, as envisioned by the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset—that we can address the profound challenges before us. The time has come to face an undeniable truth: the concept of absolute sovereignty, as we have long understood it, must evolve—indeed, it must be dismantled—for the good of humankind.” 


Earth Events: Tsunamis, floods, earthquakes, drought, volcanoes, solar storms, meteorites, fires, etc. These are sure to increase in magnitude and frequency as we move further into the 70th Week and are likely to disrupt the availability of food, infrastructure, etc.




BTW, we are watching 1/28/2025 for a major earthquake. 

And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Luke 21:11

 

Grid Down: No electricity, no internet, no phone service, no running water for periods of time. I do not think this will last for long because they will need electricity and the internet for the mark of the beast system. We have been hearing for many years about the three days of darkness, which some are saying will be all of those things going down for 3 days. So, that is a definite possibility for some time in 2025.

 

Population Reduction: By the time the midpoint gets here the pale green horse will be running its course and when he is finished ¼ of the world’s population will have died. This massive die off may be brought about by various means such as disease, war, famine, purposeful population reduction schemes, etc. 

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Rev 6:8

In regard to famine, I believe that one of the main messages of the three eclipses that crossed the USA was famine. I believe that is what the geometric points of intersection of the eclipse triangle pointed to.




Temple Events: Scripture tells us that the antichrist will perform the abomination of desolation in the temple. Efforts have been ongoing for years to rebuild the temple. So, expect to see the reestablishment of the Temple associated with the arrival of the antichrist. And it is quite possible that the antichrist could fly down the Temple with antigravity technology as part of his lying wonders.




The antichrist and the false prophet:

If 2025 is the year of the midpoint, then this infernal duo will "come onto the scene" in 2025. We know that the world will be given over to the antichrist to rule for 42 months and the false prophet will accompany him in his deceptive acts.

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 

4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 

10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 

13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Rev 13

There is data to support this hypothesis, it has been made known for many years that the "world teacher" who I surmise will be the false prophet will appear in 2025.




Also keep in mind that the antichrist, just like hitler, will present himself as a benevolent "savior of the world" type and the false prophet will foster his false image. So, to most people they will appear to be good.


Conclusions:

So, if Armageddon will be in 2028 and thus the midpoint in the spring of 2025, then that is what I foresee as possibly happening in 2025. 

Note: With the prophecy data I have at present that is how I see it happening, of course I could be wrong, and the midpoint could be in another yet future year.

Here is the chart for important prophetic dates if the Day of Atonement in 2028 is the date of Armageddon.

 

 

BTW, In I Pet Goat 2 there are 4 Chinese years represented; tiger (2022), rabbit (2023), dragon (2024), and a snake (2025).



The snake is the only one depicted as alive, the other 3 are static. This leads me to think that the major events depicted in the nefarious film will begin in the year of the snake that begins on 1/29/2025. And when it is 1/29 in the East it is 1/28 in the West. In case you are not aware the IPG2 film is all about the arrival of the antichrist.

In another scene in IPG2 a blooming lotus flower is shown with 25 flower petals, again possibly pointing to 2025.




Regardless of the exact year that the midpoint will occur, as the midpoint nears, the antichrist and the false prophet/teacher will come onto the scene, the two witnesses will appear, the abomination of desolation will occur, the mark will be instituted, and the great tribulation will begin. 

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)… 

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Mt 24:15, 24 

Christians will be rescued out of the Great Tribulation via the rapture after Seal 6 is opened. Then God’s wrath will be poured out upon the world culminating in Armageddon. 

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 

15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 6 

The end of the world is getting one day closer every day, and most people are oblivious to how close it is. Are you prepared physically, mentally, and spiritually for the end of the world? 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Another "Line" Judgment--The Southeast Storms


On Nov 16, 2011 our country experienced another round of devestating storms, our prayers are with those effected. If you notice the tornadoes, marked in red above, they are situated parallel to and on both sides of the line of judgment that I believe runs from the United Nations HQ in NYC to the National Christmas tree in Washington, D.C. that I wrote the following about;

I do not know the where, when, and what of the next judgments, but I do know the why--we have sinned. I also have a sense--based on what I have been shown and knowing what we are planning to do to Israel, that the judgment will be severe, it will be related to "the line," and it may be soon.

Here are the links; Cloudy With a Chance of Judgment, and Cloudy With a Chance of Judgment--The Meaning and Judgments of Snow.

Some may think the southeast storms occuring along this line is just coinciodence. Well let me point out a few facts. First these tornadoes were unusual for this time of year--less than 4% of the tornadoes in the United States since the 1950s have occured in November. Second there was another unusual waether event just recently--the freak snowstorm--that left millions without power. Both of these out of the ordinary weather events occured parallel to the "line." You be the judge.

Judgments of Snow



I do not know the where, when, and what of the next judgments, but I do know the why--we have sinned. I also have a sense--based on what I have been shown and knowing what we are planning to do to Israel, that the judgment will be severe, it will be related to "the line," and it may be soon.

That is what I wrote in a series of posts about a "line of judgment" that I believe exists between the United Nations HQ in NYC and the National Christmas Tree in Washington, D.C. Here are the links Cloudy With a Chance of Judgment, and Cloudy With a Chance of Judgment--The Meaning.

As you are probably aware the Palestinians submitted their bid on 9/23. It was accepted by the U.N. for consideration on 9/28, all the while the United States is putting extreme pressure on both parties to reach a peace agreement along the pre-1967 war borders.

And what happens? Over 3 million people lose power in a freak snowstorm in areas that are parallel to the "line of judgment." The amounts of snow caught a lot of people off guard and broke many records for October. My prayers are with those who are suffering.

I know it is all just a coincidence--there are lots of record breaking snows in October that leave 3 million people without power parallel to this "line" and there is no relation between political events and natural events. Yes I know, Noah's flood did not have anything to do with people being judged for sin, neither did the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

"I had a dream"--President Obama was on National TV and he made a public profession of his new found faith in Christ and called the nation to prayer, fasting, and repentance for our sins against God--but then I read my Bible and remembered that end times Babylon will first be judged by fire, and then she will eventually sink under the waves and be no more. Typical of the devil--he deceives people, enslaves them to sin, gets them to do his will, and then destroys them. God on the other hand speaks truth, frees people from sin, allows them the privilege of doing His will, and rewards them beyond what they can imagine.

From The Coming Epiphany

O America, I wish it were not true. Your sins have reached unto heaven and you will be smitten. The country that we love so dear, that was founded upon Christian principles and used to stand for righteousness, now promotes wickedness and will receive her just deserts. The scriptures will be fulfilled; America will be destroyed. If we repent — The only hope for America — I believe God would spare America just as He spared Nineveh when that city repented.

The most grievous sin, abortion, needs to stop immediately! We also need to stop the pornography, the illicit sex, the flow of liquor, the drugs, the gambling, the witchcraft, and the flow of raw sewage coming out of the cesspool of Hollywood. America needs to stop its sin now! If we repent, maybe the Lord will have mercy upon us. But the scriptures tell us that America, like Sodom and Gomorrah, will not repent but will suffer the full blow of God’s wrath. God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. You will receive your just reward.


O beautiful for spacious skies

for amber waves of grain,

for purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain!

America! America!

God shed his grace on thee and you refused His Grace and will be engulfed by sea to shining sea!


O America! O America! How I wish it were not true. I pray that many would be brought to repentance before it is too late.

It may be too late for America, but it is not too late for you--be saved today!

After writing the rough of the above I asked God to give me a passage for this message when I randomly opened my Bible the next morning. I turned to;

John 3

11. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

12. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

13. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

I then on purpose went to Psalms and here is where I turned to;

Psalm 49

1. Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

2. Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

3. My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

4. I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

5. Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

6. They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

7. None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

8. (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

9. That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.

10. For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

11. Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.

12. Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

13. This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.

14. Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

15. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.

16. Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

17. For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.

18. Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

19. He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.

20. Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

A couple of hours later at another location with another Bible I randomly opened to;

Ezekiel 11

2. Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:

3. Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.

4. Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.

5. And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.

6. Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.

7. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.

8. Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD.

9. And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.

10. Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

11. This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:

12. And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.

I believe that all 3 passages are relevant and timely. I also expect there will be more judgments to come.

Update: I just read Daniel's post at Prayers for the People--gives some very pertinent information about the storm(s)--I reccomend reading.
