1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing .
This is the headline story and picture on Yahoo when I turned on my computer this morning. This is happening TODAY - March 27, 2014. Then tomorrow on to Saudi Arabia. Remember him bowing to the SA king in the beginning of his first term in WH? I just get this ominous feeling in the pit of my stomach when I see especially this first photo and read these headlines. (Including both stories on this post)

Obama arrived at the Vatican amid the pomp and tradition of the Catholic Church, making his way to greet the pope after a long, slow procession through the hallways of the Apostolic Palace led by colorful Swiss Guards and accompanied by ceremonial attendants. The president bowed as he shook hands with the pontiff in the Small Throne Room, before the two sat down at a wooden table in the Papal Library.

Saudi Arabia Isn't America's Friend

The U.S. and Saudi Arabia still have common interests -- in fighting terrorism, for example -- and Saudi Arabia's oil wealth means it will hold disproportionate sway in Washington for years to come. But neither Obama nor his critics (nor, for that matter, Saudis themselves) should kid themselves. Saudi Arabia is not a natural ally of the U.S., and probably never has been.
The current landscape puts in stark relief just how anomalous the relationship is. When the Saudis look around the region, they see rebellions that unseated autocrats, like them, in Tunisia and Egypt. The U.S. generally welcomed these developments. Meanwhile, the one uprising that Saudi's Sunni royalty supports -- in Syria, against Syria's non-Sunni dictator -- is failing, and the Saudis resent the U.S. for not intervening decisively.

Thank YOU, T/Sue, sooo very much for bringing these most important Biblical prophecy to RFTH...of the AC & FP meeting each other at the Vatican.
If walls could talk, &/or wouldn't you wished that you could've been a fly on the wall...hearing all that was said between them!?
Maranatha!

I heard that O's "official gift" from the U.S. to the Pope was a wooden box of vegetable seeds from Michelle's WH garden. Also, that some are noting the fact that this is a "Cain type offering".
3 And in the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground.
4 And Abel brought of the firstborn of his flock and of the fat portions. And the Lord had respect and regard for Abel and for his offering,
5 But for
Cain and his offering He had no respect or regard. Haven't heard what the gift was to the head of Saudi Arabia yet. Would be interesting to know.
