Hey Zuriakim, I just read "Assassins" in the Left Behind series. I wish you were as far ahead as I am. When you finish "Assassins", tell me who you think did it. You will know what I am talking about when you finish the book. I am not going to say more because I don't want to ruin it for you. Did you know there is going to be a total of 12 books in that series? I think the first one was the one that impacted me the most. When I read about all those people disappearing and the ones that are left behind realize why they were left behind, it made me cry. We really need to tell people about Jesus.

I am reading the book of Daniel again now. The last three chapters are pretty confusing so I will probably read them several times. I have decided that it doesn't matter when Jesus is coming back-what is important is that he is coming back and we should always be prepared for that. Jesus did tell us that there were signs to look for to know that His coming is soon and I see those all the time in the news. We should be preparing ourselves and telling others about Jesus.

Did you know there is a book out now called "The Antichrist and a Cup of Tea"? It is written by a messianic jew who claims that Prince Charles is The Antichrist. I have seen the author interviewed on tv but I have to admit, when he claimed it was Prince Charles, my husband and I practically rolled on the floor we were laughing so hard. The book gives biblical reasons as to why he thinks Prince Charles is the antichrist. He talks about the fact that Prince Charles has the red dragon symbol in his coat of arms and some other things. It was kind of interesting but I have a hard time thinking it is Prince Charles. Does it mention in the Bible that the antichrist is supposed to have jug ears? jk
