Buried more than 150 feet below the Swiss and French countryside, on September 10 a monstrous machine rumbled to life.  This is the world's biggest and most advanced scientific instrument, supported by more than eight thousand physicists from over eighty-five countries.  It is also a machine that some scientists fear may destroy the world.

Life may not be as pleasant, but you can survive without your 401K.  A healthy person can even survive for weeks without food.  But without water, the average person will go into shock and die within days.

While we prayed for God's protection for those being battered by Hurricane Ike, another storm was tearing through Wall Street the weekend of September 13-14.  And, while the full impact will not be understood for months, there is no doubt that a devastating financial hurricane ripped through the heart of US financial systems that weekend.

What does the 2008 Israeli Prime Minster contest have to do with a 2500 year-old prophecy? Who is Ms. Tzipi Livni? And, what are the real prospects for middle east peace, whether led by Ms. Livni, Ehud Barak, former general Shaul Mofaz, Benjamin Netanyahu or others who wish to lead Israel into 2009?

World leaders have often been at odds with the USA lately, but as America continues to be the epicenter of a global financial meltdown, the language is becoming increasingly hostile...and prophetically meaningful. It is very interesting from a Biblical perspective that not only the USA, but "the Anglo-Saxon" peoples are being derided for the recent financial catastrophe and its rippling international consequences.
