Topic: WEATHER (07/19/18)
The tragedy that happened in Branson, MO recently, I am in no way making light of this event. It does bring a memory of a soon coming event. It too will be a major tragedy in our world for many families. I don't think this event is far away, but as the Bible declares, "No man knows the day nor the hour." It will come upon us as a "thief in the night.".

Here in Missouri for quite a few weeks now we've had cloudy skies, with the appearance of the possibility of moisture, with none at all!

This last week the barometric conditions were on a constant roller coaster ride. The day of the tragedy there were reports of bad storms moving into Missouri. The barometric conditions with un-determined outcomes was quickly approaching as the people were being warned by the news reporters to stay off lake waters and creek banks, and not to drive in flooded areas.

Many people in all walks of life ignored the warnings that day, going about doing what made them feel good, or needed to do. These mindsets and tragedy remind me of the atmospheric conditions we are sensing in the spirit knowing sudden changes are about to occur anytime. I think many would agree, they know something is about to happen. Most not knowing what, but know there will be a major event in the near future.

These warning signs are of the soon return of Jesus Christ... Right now people are saying…I've heard that all my life. Or it's not going to happen in my lifetime, or there is NO GOD!... dismissing this will not only be a life changing event, but a change for the whole world.

Just like this past week... no one was listening, just like the day of this tragic event.

Many people are not listening. Many are no more ready for this event either. But all of a sudden, Jesus WILL appear..., just like all of a sudden the high winds came up that day on Table Rock Lake.. 17-18 deceased and the remainder injured. A moment in time, history will never be able to erase.

How many people on that day are going to be like the tragedy we seen and heard about in Branson on the 19th of July, 2018? There will be some taken, and many left behind. Talk about a major tragedy worse... than what we saw this last week.

How can it be worse?

We know that many that lost their lives this last week will be reunited with their love ones who are reconciled with Christ before their arrival in heaven. On the day Jesus returns many will be are separated and left behind!

There will be some that we will never see again...there will not be time to say, "good morning, I love you nor good night." that will be a major tragedy!

Which side of Glory are you on or will be on? No Second Chances. Not one do-over!. Time here on earth will never be the same. The Many left behind will be required to endure and face many horrific events. Many will be tortured and killed by beheading. There will be starvation... there will be thirst.

This is the future to the one's left behind that do not receive the mark of the beast. For those who receive the mark, sign their eternal destination to eternal hell, to NEVER see those who went ahead. WHAT A DAY OF TRAGEDY, GREAT SORROW, AND PAIN, WHAT TEARS!

Please let the Branson Event be an eye-opener for you. Do not wait to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Do it with a sincere heart, not just a heart of guilt. Receive Heart Salvation and NOT head Salvation.

Do not let yourself be the next tragedy in your family!!!!!

I haven't been much in the news lately: What happened in Branson?

I thought you started strong but I was too preoccupied with wanting to know about what happened to really focus in on your spiritual application.

A fitting title and admonition to be ready for Jesus' return. Elimination of unnecessary words will improve your writing. For example, Instead of "Here in Missouri" -- in Missouri; "This last week" -- last week. Don't use two words when one will convey the same thought. You have a great message -- make it shine.

This needs a short explanation at the beginning of what happened in Branson. Good lesson from a current event, but we need to know what is the current event.
