Are They Ready For This?

Nearing Oakland, Kevin watched through his rear view mirror Jonathan get up and head towards the front of the bus. Jonathan was now a new creation and was anxious to share this with his wife Bridget. "I know everyone is anxious to get to the compound, but you didnt forget the address I gave you to stop and let me get Bridget did you?" he asked Kevin. "She wont believe it when we pull up with a 3 buses full of believers. Shes gonna laugh at me saying it sure took a lot of people to turn me around." he chuckled. Kevin smiled at him. "We will get her, but we have to be quick because 3 buses on your steet could draw attention to us and we dont want that." he said. "Here take my cell phone now that we are in range and call her, try to make it quick so the signal isnt picked up before we shut it off again." Taking the phone, he went back to his seat and placed the call. She picked up after the 3rd ring.

Bridget hung up the phone on the night stand and pulled out their travel case. She hurried as she packed clothes for her and Jonathan. She was singing and praising God as she gathered everything they would need. She was so happy that Jesus had saved her husband. She grabbed the baby blankets she had made for the twins and threw them in with their clothes. She knew their birth was not to be for 7 more months and she had no idea how long they would be at the compound. She had heard about the compound but had no idea where it was. The travel case had wheels on it so she rolled it into the living room to wait for Jonathan. Glancing out the window she watched as 3 buses and an SUV pulled up in front of their house. Jonathan and Kevin jumped out of the 3rd bus and headed for the front door. She flung the door open and ran into Jonathans arms.

Peter got off the bus and headed for the lead bus to talk to Daniel. Peter motioned Daniel to step off the bus so they could talk privately. "Listen, we have to drop these 2 agents off somewhere. You know they wont be able to enter the compound." Peter said. "Where would you suggest?" Daniel asked. "I've been giving that some thought. There is a small abandoned church around the corner from the collisium. The whole church was raptured and a small group took it over shortly after.I think that would be the place that might even minister to them." Peter stated. "Ok then, lets roll." Daniel said. With everyone back on board the buses Daniel pulled out as the rest followed.

All across the Globe...people sit in front of their Monitors...TV and Laptops alike..as armies have surrounded and began an all out assault upon the Holy Land.

Why does such a small piece of land invoke such mass consternation? Why such hatred? Will their be anything left of Israel once Russia and Iran and their partnering nations get through?

CNM BREAKING NEWS

"Live from Just outside Israel CNM Camera crews have captured video footage shocking in nature. In one of the most ominous assaults ever witnessed..something that defies explanation is taking place. Weapons have been fired seemingly from all directions have been met with what seems to be an act from another world. Flying objects that only be described as hail, fire and brimstone have acted as an unpenetratable shield of protection deflecting each and every assault made by the Russia/Iranian Coalition"

"CNM has submitted all video for any possible foul play in an effort to distort what it is we are seeing but repeating.....Russian and Iranian led coalition forces have unleashed an all out assault upon Israel BUT CNM has captured video footage of an unknown outside force acting as some type of solar shield defending each and every attack upon Israel."

we will be continuing with updates as they come in.

Bart lay on the table as the hospital staff began their work..."I don't know why we bother...it seems pretty clear to me this guy doesn't want to be here?" The nurse questioning the Dr...."I don't know either...but he is part of the Global Family and he is still young enough to work ...the orders I have is if "abled bodied" save if possible....but if body disabled ...euthanize"

Bart could hear their discussion but his squinting eyes had captured a color of brilliance over him..The Angelic Host stood at his guard. "The King is Coming ..the King is coming ..I can hear the trumpet sounding...I see glory on each face..the King is coming" Bart drifts off into his familiar dream ...A time where he had been in church and a tremendous message had been preached...JESUS IS COMING..REPENT...FOR AT AN HOUR YOU THINK NOT HE WILL COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT..the preacher had warned.....Bart felt such a strong urge that day that he physically had to restrain himself by literally holdin on to the altar...besides he had just been at a service a few weeks back when a preacher had come through saying the book of Revelation was an allegory...that people had said Jesus would come back for years and still the world continued as always......thoughts of haunting despair began to permeate Bart

BEEP.. BEEP.. BEEP_____________-.."DR..WE are losing Him!" "GIVE HIM THE ADRENALIN INJECTION NOW!" the Dr orders!

"Bart ....you are to live and not Die" the Angel whispers again into his ear!

beep......beep........beep........beep "Very good Dr..his pulse has steadied"

"Stand by ...he should be losing it any moment now" "BARF".."COUGH" "BARF"

Out in the Foyer .Tim and Anthony stand gazing at a tv monitor of all that is happening in Israel but keep being interrupted....hospital investigators...question Anthony and Tim..."repeat your story one more time" "WE were driving by and noticed a man at the door and well he was unconscious and so we stopped and tried to wake him...but realized it was no use and time seemed short so we loaded him up and drove him here" "And your name is?" "TIM" your from?" Halltown Mo" and your name? "Anthony" and you are from Halltown as well?" uhhh..Yes Mam"..."well wait here ....the authorities might have more questions" "do you know how the patient is doing?" The hospital investigator looks at Anthony as if to say..."No ..and I don't care" but replies..."I will send a nurse out to give you an update."

"oh my....well we were wondering how things were turning out...we've all been sitting here watching the news...and praying for you and Anthony" ...."ya don't say....well when do you reckon your going to get out of there?" "sure thing..you bet...we'll go right to prayer...ok well you guys be careful"

Dan hangs up the phone and pauses.."well guys ..Tim and Anthony made it to the hospital...they don't know a thing about the guy they helped out but feel led to stay and make sure he's alright....and asked we pray of course"

Dan reaches out his hand encouraging the others to join in...."well guys and gals ...I know we've all been doing alot of praying but I reckon you can never pray too much" "Lord, we come to you right now in the name of Jesus...and first of all Lord we take this time and ask you to bless and protect Israel and Make Yourself known throughout this world and Lord we also come on behalf of our brother's Tim and Anthony....they went out in your name believing you would lead them in seeking and saving the Lost. Please give them your hand of protection and keep them in this most troublesome time...bring them back here safely. And Lord whoever they have been led to..we don't even know his name...we ask that you would take this time and open his eyes and ears to Your words and completely deliver and save this man for your glory in Jesus name we all pray ...Amen

Al: “Hey everyone, we just got power back for how long we can’t say but we want everyone to know we are still out here trying to find some answers.”

Hal: “We have been off air for a couple of weeks now and it is good it get back, you wouldn’t believe what we have seen. A lot of it we can’t say because of the laws but I will say this much, people are becoming more free with their bodies.”

Al:”I agree, it is like people don’t care about what is right or wrong anymore. Now I have always been one to let people do what they want but it seems as if since all these stuff has happened there are no morale anymore. We saw some guys beating a woman to death the other day just because she had some food for her kids. They beat and killed her for two cans of corn”

Hal: “Al, what do you think of the war that is going on? Can you believe it? All those countries sending in troops, planes and everything they got just to destroy Israel? Not saying them Jews don’t deserve it but wow, there is like five or six countries attacking.”

Al: “Guess there might be peace in the mid-east soon.”

Hal: “Hey everyone before we lose power again, tomorrow we will be in the Chicago area so look for us.”

Al: “I heard that a grass root group is calling for the Government to look into all the Church go’ers. Some are saying they are the reason for all this mess. I doubt it but if we find a Christian person walking around we might ask them their take.”

Hal: “Good idea, I doubt if any of them listen to our station but in case one of you do good’ers are listening look us up so we can get your story. You know what …..”

(Power outage, please stand by)

Missouri Ozarks

Sam and the group had been packing the bus and cars all evening, but everyone stopped in their tracks to watch what was taking place in Israel. Russia and Iran were attacking yet they didn't hit their targets and the missiles seemed to be exploding in mid-air. Everyone sat watching the scene unfold in complete silence and awe at the spectacle they were witnessing. Gasps could be heard now and again, but most were silent.
"It has begun just as it was foretold in the passage we were reading tonight. The Gog/Magog war we were warned about. Wow, it's awesome to see the hand of God at work." exclaimed Sam.
The group held hands and prayed for Israel. They all knew the time was drawing short for them to be out and about in safety. Satan's evil would intensify and this was just the beginning.
Tom rose to his feet and looked at everyone in the group then said, "We don't have much time so anything else you think we might need we had better get and head for safety. Do we have a way to keep the frozen food?"
"I found a generator in the garage that would run the small freezer, but we will need to get as much gasoline as we can to run it. " Sam told him.
Steven swayed back and forth then said, "We can have all the gasoline that's in the tank for the sheriff's department. No one is going to be in need of it so we can get all we can carry."
"Bless you, Steven. We can leave right now and fill as many cans as we can."
"We can also use the department's truck to move the freezer and haul the gas. After we move everything, we will need to hide all the vehicles so no one will be curious and look for the cave. I can get my ATV so we can run back and forth and we can hide it easier," said Steven.
Sam patted him on the shoulder, "Times wasting away, let's get moving."
All the men left the women to finish the packing and boxing supplies. Shannon was searching the internet and getting news from a couple of the Christian sites and all were praising God for the wonderous act of saving Israel from her enemies. The world was still clueless that it was God protecting His people, but one day all will know who is in control.

On the Ranch

Shade and Trevor had unsuccessfully tried to hunt the bear that had killed Antony. They had found tracks and followed them several miles, losing and finding them repeatedly. They had finally given up and headed to the house. When they walked in they found everyone sitting transfixed in front to the tv.
"What's going on?" Shade asked.
"Gog/Magog." Zoe answered with her eyes never leaving the scene on the tv.
Trevor looked at Shade and raised his eyebrow as if to say, "What is Gog/Magog?"
Tori saw and handed him a Bible. "Ezekiel 38 and 39."
Trevor and Shade quickly read the passages and then, as the Lord opened His word to them, sat down and began watching the reports from Israel.
