Revelation 13:16-18 (NASB)

And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

Enemies are surrounding Israel

Psalm 83  (NASB)

A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.

O God, do not remain quiet;
Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.
For behold, Your enemies make an uproar,
And those who hate You have exalted themselves.
They make shrewd plans against Your people,
And conspire together against Your treasured ones.
They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation,
That the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
For they have conspired together with one mind;
Against You they make a covenant:
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites;
Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Assyria also has joined with them;
They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah.
Deal with them as with Midian,
As with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,
Who were destroyed at En-dor,
Who became as dung for the ground.
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb
And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
Who said, “Let us possess for ourselves
The pastures of God.”
O my God, make them like the whirling dust,
Like chaff before the wind.
Like fire that burns the forest
And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,
So pursue them with Your tempest
And terrify them with Your storm.
Fill their faces with dishonor,
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.
Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever,
And let them be humiliated and perish,
That they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord,
Are the Most High over all the earth.

Isis very deliberate - will take Jordan

When this happens the trap will be closed and Israel surrounded.  The U.S. has already fled for all practical purposes and will be more withdrawn as time rolls forward.  IMHO Israel will make a mistake, something barbaric, distasteful or essentially in opposition to the collective wisdom of morality.

Maybe 2015 after all - we're certainly continuing to roll forward.  Interesting to me that you don't particularly see Isis in the news.  That is, you don't see footage from the front like we did in the Gulf War or when I was a kid watching Vietnam and Walter Cronkite every night.

The news has been slow, as has been our blogging.  Looks like the contraction cycle is starting again.

Can you believe all the snow in the north east?  Tony in VT - praying for you.
