Most people think I've recently had back surgery on my lower back.

They're wrong.

I've had Redneck Comsmetic surgery. It's called a "crack extension"

Now I can display five extra inches of plumbers crack on any occasion.

Lurleens hearts already racin'.

at any point in history, any one of these mentioned, most of them, are, being fulfilled. Every generation will face them to some extent in part our all. They do not and cannot predict the future nor can they really point us to a specific time when a new millimum will begin (1,000 year regin).

IMHO, the book of Revelations is constantly being played out in every generation, and will lead ultimately to the final play.

Karen, I confess I'm probably a preterist. Not a learned one, but that's my default viewpoint. So, these events and a kind of "headline prophecy" (I know that's a perjorative term, and I'm sorry) don't portend much in particular as I see it as far as any "end-time" scenario, and particularly not a rapture or catching away to be followed by a 7-year tribulation with the antichrist leader and all that. All of these awful events as we see in the news have happened together for a long time, with somewhat less observation perhaps. It isn't that the return of the Lord is not imminent, but that we're just terribly inequipped to sense it, and that is by God's design, I would think. Job #1 is preparing for His return for ourselves and our neighbor in the individual sense. Not much we can do about it beyond that anyway, and any popular clamor over it won't change anything for the good.

At least that's my story and for now I'm stickin' to it.
