March 25, 2003 journal, sandstorm in desert, beast image mark on money, phone calls to surrender. This piece of cake turned out to be deadly in the desert of Iraq in a Euphrates River valley with dark dust storms driving sand in the eyes of the soldiers and darkening the sun as the scripture says in the Book of Revelation. Wind gust up to 50 miles an hour are reported and the convoys of tanks and military hardware are brought to a halt. The gas guzzling military machines are consuming tons of fuel and fresh water is in demand. Many of the cities are reported to he cut off from food and water with snipers still in full control.

We have hold of a hot potato and cannot lay it down. Revelation 20-8 "And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the 4 quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9-And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10-And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever". Reverse our trends Lord I pray to make our paths straight and honest 1st and foremost before you / all.

The Iraqis attacked in the midst of the sandstone when visibility was only 10 ft. reportedly today and killed many of our soldiers, they're not saying just how many yet but they claim 400 Iraqis dead. Do we measure victory or defeat based on many dead bodies of enemy?

To put our servicemen into this position is like playing Russian roulette as they say and only a fool would play Russian roulette. There is no honor in death as compared to life. There is no reason to declare war and sacrifice the innocent American or the Iraqi people. Yes they are putting their women and children out in the street for their protection and we may loose the battle and lose our soldiers put in harm's way. These are strange times now.

If by some means we were to win this war then we could call up other nations and demand their surrender. Hitler practically did this across Eastern Europe in the 1930's. Nauseated is my condition in thinking about all this. The stock market seems to fluctuate up and down depending on the number killed. A e-mail I received today expresses discuss saying

"It’s a sad day to be an American". We have no right to be over there killing their people.

The image of the beast is on the dollar bill and all currency, this could actually be the mark of the beast and it most likely is. The all seeing eye is one of the markings and the pyramid is another. Joshua 7-4 "So there went up thither of the people about 3000 men and they fled before the men of AI. 5-And the men of AI smote of them about 36 men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of people melted, and became as water. 6-And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads". Remember they had sin in their camp. I have been turned down by Amoco for rebate of my actual expenses to remove the water from the fuel I purchased from them on I-95 in South Georgia. I believe they know they have had problems but they are so big that they can take advantage of the motorist.

Coming up will be a report on the new world order airport in Denver Colorado murals. The story of the children of Israel taking back their promised land after 400 years Egyptian captivity and 40 more years wandering in the wilderness because of their unbelief is a remarkable one. God collapsed the walls of Jericho for them and the battle was easy but when they encountered the tiny nation of AI, they were miserably defeated because there was sin in the camp. Compare this with the USA today to see where we stand with God.
