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 .

My comments: Well, what are the odds? Over 600 Pakistani Christians attending church on Sunday (9/22) were hit by two suicide bombers. The death toll is now over 80 people killed, with more than 100 wounded.
Today, a 7.7 earthquake hits Balochistan, Pakistan, near the Iran border. The quake was so strong, a new island rose from the sea.
I hope all the terror cells in those geographic regions "get the message" - from God Himself!
More than 100 people were injured in the attack, carried out by two militants wearing explosive vests who had managed to enter the church. A group allied with the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility.
"I've never seen such piles of human bodies," said Arshad Javed, chief executive of Peshawar's Lady Reading Hospital.
Christians, a small minority in overwhelmingly Muslim Pakistan, hadn't up until now been a focus of the campaign of violence that has been unleashed in recent years by the Pakistani Taliban and their al Qaeda-affiliated allies. That campaign has claimed thousands of lives, with government officials, soldiers, secular politicians and members of the Shiite Muslim minority among the victims...[/quote]One of the Worst Assaults on Country's Christian Minority in Years
"I heard two explosions. People started to run. Human remains were strewn all over the church," said one parishioner, who gave only her first name, Margrette.
Her voice breaking with emotion, she said she had not seen her sister since the explosions ripped through the area around the gate of the church enclosure.
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said the death toll of 78 included 34 women and seven children, in remarks televised live from Peshawar. More than 100 people were wounded.
"Who are these terrorists killing women and children?" Nisar said...
...Christians make up about 4 percent of Pakistan's population of 180 million, and tend to keep a low profile in a country where Sunni Muslim militants frequently bomb targets they see as heretical, including Christians and Sufi and Shi'ite Muslims.
Attacks on Christian areas occur sporadically around the country but Sunday's assault, in a densely populated Christian residential area in the old walled city in Peshawar, was the most violent in recent history.
A bomb disposal source said two blasts had been set off by a pair of attackers. More than 600 parishioners were inside the church for the service...[/quote]
Suicide Bombers Hit Christian Church
My comment: A new island just rose from the sea. Hmm, the beast
will also rise from the sea...
Massive earthquake in Pakistan – At least 150 killed and 100′s injured – estimated damage: 100 million US$
Please, let's lift up all the innocent people in prayer!
Dale, What an atrocity against humanity, especially, towards Christian children, women & men, young and the old; killed because of their faith in Christ. My heart goes out to these Christians, their families, friends, whom have suffered loss of a loved one, or have been injured.
May God's will be done towards the Lord's enemies, especially those whom
have caused pain and suffering towards innocent people.
These are our Brothers and Sisters whom are being killed, and we must lift them up daily in our prayers. I am broken hearted, especially for the suffering and death of these children, I can not understand what evil it must take to kill or cause sever injury to a child because of the child's faith.
Lord God Almighty Father, have mercy and pity on these your precious Children in Pakistan and all over the world, whom are being killed, day and night for their faith in Jesus. Father, I ask in Jesus holy name, send your beloved Son Jesus, our precious Savior, to remove your Children off the face of the Earth via the Rapture.
I ask on behalf of all the little children of the world, please Lord, Come Quickly, so that this horrendous atrocity will end, towards Christians whom love you, and are in need of your divine intervention for themselves and their families.
Lord hear my prayers, I await with great anticipation of Jesus coming in the clouds any moment now. Send your precious Son, and let us hear His call
"Come Up Here" as soon as it is divinely possible. Amen & Amen!
Praying for all Christian Children of the World.
Valerie
