Widespread Panic. Everyday. Yes, that is exactly what we are talking about here. When Armageddon arrives at the Gates, indeed there will be widespread mayhem in every conceivable place that there is on Earth. The Four Winds will blow soon, and when they do, you can be sure to see their ravages and cleansing. One has already passed...Hurricane Katrina of the deadly named tsunami/atomic bomb of the hurricanes in 2005 A.D.

The Scriptures speak extensively about the Four Winds, the Four Angels of the Euphrates, and of course, the Four Horses. A numeric occurrence for specific references. And what can be said of numbers and coincidental timing in the current World scene today? Well as of current news and events, November 15, 2006: a startling number recently revealed on Fox News as well as on CNN's Anderson/Cooper 360 states that the current number of US troops in Iraq at the sum of 144,000. Ironic? Frightening? You betcha...as an author who has spent time overseas in our proud country's U.S. Marine Corps fighting the Enemy in Afghanistan, Iraq, and specifically the Pre-Election Fallujah, Iraq, of 2004 A.D., this number boggles the mind. After witnessing the savage killings and fateful events of March 31, 2004, it became no secret that America was indeed fighting an enemy of the most savage and warlike culture in the Mespotamian ancient Euphrates of the New Testament's dreary latter-day phrophecies in Revelations. And as the bodies of Four American angels were dragged through the streets and hung from the bridge overlooking the Euphrates, America had indeed fulfilled her place in the dreaded Chapter 9:14 of Revelation.

And now we have arrived at the passage addressing the CURRENT NUMBER of the troops on ground in Iraq (144,000), and we shall draw comparison at the scipture in Revelation 14:1-3:

Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads .
And I heard a sound from the heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like the peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.
And they sang a new song before the throne and before the Four Living Creatures and the Elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.

This could very well be the current situation in Iraq as it stands now...America may now be unwittingly playing the role of the 144,ooo... and after all many of those in this VOLUNTEER army are directly fulfilling the scripture referring to their Father's name written on/in their foreheads. Many of these volunteer men and women do so directly for HONOR and SACRIFICE of their fathers, their mothers, and their family. So the scripture may very well directly be calling this modern event as it has already called the situation that occurred March 31, 2004.

America is closing quick and with a decision to make: Do we allow our 144,000 to stand in peril in ancient Babylon, and perhaps allow for theirs and Iraq's annihilation by Iran? Do we allow the President of Iran to nuke our Boys in Blue with the nuclear bomb that he is a couple of days from acquiring? Winter is a prime time to centrally drop a nuclear device in Iraq and essentially offer up a sacrifice to Allah. Will America allow her 144,000 to die and thereby fulfill the time of the Fullness of the Gentile? Has Bush's Folly indeed been a work of God all along? Does "redeemed from the earth" refer to this 144,000 as LITERALLY "removed from the earth"?

Only time will tell, and the hands of the Creator can certainly remove the life that He Has Given. With God's Will, All is Possible, and All is fulfilled by His Phrophets, for I say unto you that a phrophet is NOT WITHOUT HONOR in his OWN COUNTRY!!!!!
