Jesus said in Matthew 24:42 to be on watch for His imminent return and in Matthew 16:3 to discern the signs of the times. Time is drawing to a close and the Body of Christ
must be prepared and on watch for His return. we must understand the days in which we live. Let us not be like those who Jesus rebuked with the words,
You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
Matthew 16:3
God Freedom Liberty - United States Constitution And Supporters of Our Rights
A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. -- (((Charles Finney, said the following: “If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it))) --

You'll pay more immediately on credit-card debt. Home and car loan rates will rise, too. Numerous economic forecasters predict an immediate rate increase of at least 1.5 percentage points on consumer interest - adding nearly $20,000 to the cost of a $175,000, 30-year home mortgage. "It would amount to a de facto tax increase on the American people," said Obama economic adviser Jason Furman.
2. A plunging stock market.
Financial services firm Janney Montgomery Scott says a default would prompt a 6.3 percent decline in the S&P 500 over three months. That would cost you dearly if you own a 401(k), money market funds, bond funds or individual stocks. A 6.3 percent drop translates into a loss of $8,816 in the 401(k) of an average investor in his 50s, based on portfolio estimates of the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
3. Prices of imported goods would soar.
The U.S. dollar almost certainly would plummet on the world market, raising the prices we pay for imported products, particularly from economically vibrant Asian nations such as China.
4. State funding crises.
If the federal government can't fork over aid to the states, states will have to scramble to plug massive and unexpected holes in their own budgets. Did you think the contentious state balanced-budget battles of 2011 were over? Think again.
5. Federal student loans would be frozen.
An estimated $8.8 billion in Pell Grants for this school year would not be paid in August and September.
6. No tax refunds.
Still waiting for an income tax refund or other government payment? Don't hold your breath.
7. No road projects.
All federal highway and mass transit aid would come to a screeching halt. That could affect projects such as Houston Metro expansion and U.S. 290 construction.
8. Chaos at airports.
If the government can't pay for security screeners, air traffic controllers or others involved in our transportation system, American air travel could be disrupted.
9. National parks would be shuttered.
Planning a vacation at the Grand Canyon or Big Bend this summer? Want to visit the Smithsonian museums on the National Mall or the Johnson Space Center? These are not likely to make the cut of essential government services and could close down until the crisis is resolved.
10. Possible cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
If you're old or poor, your future benefits are uncertain. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says flatly that "a broad range of government payments would have to be stopped, limited or delayed, including … Social Security and Medicare payments." Will it happen? Reduced or delayed benefits are definite possibilities.
11. Jobless aid in jeopardy.
Geithner says that unemployment insurance also might have to be delayed or reduced. It's all a question of priorities: Which is more important, paying our troops or aiding jobless Americans?
12. Military personnel can't count on a regular paycheck.
Repaying U.S. bond-holders is the first priority if the debt ceiling is not increased, the White House has said. Then what? Social Security recipients? Medicare beneficiaries? If you do that, there's not enough money to pay federal personnel. Among those who could go without full pay are uniformed military, civilian Pentagon staffers, defense contractors and intelligence operatives.
13. Veterans benefits are in grave jeopardy.
If the president decides to continue to pay for national-security obligations and social safety net programs for the elderly and unemployed, there likely won't be enough money left to fund programs for military veterans. At a minimum, it would mean reduced services and delayed reimbursements.
14. Federal workers may not be paid.
If you work for the federal government, you could be in big trouble. It's an open question whether federal workers would be furloughed or laid off. But it's clear that most of them could not be paid - at least their entire salaries.
15. Thousands of American businesses would be stiffed by Uncle Sam.
The government would be unable to pay its vendors. So whether you own a Houston janitorial service that cleans government buildings or are a multibillion-dollar Fort Worth defense contractor, you're not going to get paid. So how do you meet your own payroll? That's your problem.
16. Small businesses will lose a safety net.
Don't bother applying for a small business loan or any other form of government assistance. It's not going to be processed until the debt ceiling is increased. And there won't be any small business assistance to recover from natural disasters.
17. Shockwaves will reverberate in foreign financial markets.
Because the U.S. would not be able to borrow or spend money from abroad, world stock markets likely would decline significantly. That would affect anyone with money market accounts that are invested in global equities.
18. Companies are likely to hold off on making new hires.
Because of increased uncertainty about consumer spending, companies will be far less likely to expand or to fill existing vacancies. Some economists are predicting a spike in unemployment back to double-digit levels. Third Way estimates a net loss of 640,000 jobs within a year tied to the consequences of default. To those who survived the Great Recession of 2009, you may be facing another period of anxiety and uncertainty.
19. Many Americans will take out loans - if they can get them.
Personal debt will spike as Americans seek loans to cover payments the government no longer can give them, from college aid to business subsidies to health care assistance.
20. Your share of the national debt will increase.
The downgrading of U.S. credit will force the American government to pay more for long-term borrowing to finance the nation's $14 trillion-plus in debt. (Remember, that's what triggered this crisis.) A recent report by J.P. Morgan financial analysts says that the Treasury Department most likely would be required to increase yields to government bond purchasers by 50 basis points, costing the U.S. $75 billion a year in higher interest payments. That adds up to about $2,500 over 10 years for every man, woman and child living in the U.S. - a hefty penalty for each of us to pay for Washington's dysfunctional state.
Tweet The mass death of chickens and ducks on a small island next to the US Army’s missile testing range in the Marshall Islands is perplexing health and environment officials. The sudden and unexplained deaths of nearly 100 chickens on Enibooj Island — which has a population of less than 200 people living a largely subsistence lifestyle — sparked an investigation earlier this week by Ministry of Health and Marshall Islands Environmental Protection Authority [EPA] officials. “More than 85 chickens...

Lisa Wehrle tells the Observer-Reporter newspaper of Washington, Pa., that the sun was shining when her daughter, Britney, was struck by lightning Friday, apparently from a storm several miles away. Lisa Wehrle says, “There was no rain. It was a beautiful day. All she heard was some thunder.” via US: Pennsylvania girl, 11, hit by lightning on sunny afternoon...
Tweet Emergency officials believe the main reason for the heavy damage caused by torrential rain is the weakening effect constant downpours have had on the surface of mountains, triggering devastating landslides. As soon as the record rainy season ended, new torrential downpours followed, prompting weather experts to conclude that this pattern is becoming the norm rather than the exception. “Unusual weather patterns have now become the norm and we must change the way we deal with disasters,” said Jeong Sang-man,...
Tweet Tuesday’s storm brought with it golf-ball sized hail to parts of the province and tornado warnings, but fortunately the market gardens northwest of Regina escaped harm. Greg Walters, meteorologist with Environment Canada, said the unstable air masses that caused the storms blew in from Alberta and Montana. “We did have a report (Tuesday) night, southeast of Last Mountain (Lake) reported toonie-sized hail,” he said. “That looked to be around 6:30 p.m.” Environment Canada also received a report of toonie-sized...
Tweet Imagine thousands of fish literally turn up dead in a lake near your home. That’s just what happened at a lake in Seymour, Indiana. So, our viewers called us asking us to get answers. Neighbors say they’ve never seen anything like this before. Stinking, dead fish giving off a foul odor and floating in the lake is what Corey Lanier and his neighbors came across this weekend “It was just a very overwhelming…just rotten fish smell,” Corey Lanier
Tweet By The Extinction Protocol July 28, 2011 – QUEENSLAND – A Kooralbyn family say they are prisoners in their own home ever since a rampaging wallaby moved into the neighborhood. Julie Bambrick said an unusually aggressive pretty-faced wallaby – dubbed Wacker by the family – had terrorized her 11-year-old grandson Reece, bowled over her husband Virgil and bit him on the face, and hissed, snarled and scratched at her whenever she ventured into her garden. She said the family had...
