| these trends are rapidly heading. Both

| the lives of every member of the Church
| |

|
| of God and nations of Israel! We're

|
| living in the prophesied time of a
| |
| | Revelation's message is to repent of such
|
| knowledge explosion, of mass transit and
| |
| | things as murder, occult practices,
|
| rapid communication, and have truly

| |
| | final warning to the world before the
|
| Tribes) so the Church could deliver His
| |
| | Storm breaks should be directed to His
|
| message to them, preserved by the
| |
| | People Israel, now identified as

| Prophets for our time. We're to warn the

| | prophesied, and that it should include
