PRAY FOR PUERTO RICO: Hurricane Maria Decimates Tiny U.S. Territorial Island As Worst Storm In A Century

Hurricane Maria slammed into Puerto Rico on Wednesday as the strongest storm to hit the U.S. territory in nearly 90 years.

Hurricane Maria slammed into Puerto Rico on Wednesday as the strongest storm to hit the U.S. territory in nearly 90 years, downing power to most of the island, flooding some areas and ripping windows out in the capital, San Juan.

“I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.” Isaiah 55:8 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: Texas is still digging out from Harvey, here in Florida we still don’t have power in lots of areas after that nasty woman Irma, and today tiny, little Puerto Rico was absolutely slammed by Maria. Oh, Jose is about to hit New York and Lee is coming right on the heels of Maria. Ever feel like God is sending a message? 

Maria, the second major hurricane to roar through the Caribbean this month, made landfall near Yabucoa, on the southwest of the island of 3.4 million people. Thousands of people were seeking safety in shelters.

Carrying winds of 140 miles per hour (220 kph), driving high storm surges and drenching rains, Maria’s eye was located about 25 miles (40 km) west of San Juan shortly before 11 a.m. ET (1500 GMT), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

Broken windows, mangled awnings and gutters dangled haphazardly from buildings in San Juan or were ripped off entirely. Toilets bubbled noisily and belched foul air as the hurricane rumbled through the city’s water and sewage lines.

Up to 90 percent of the island was without electricity, El Nuevo Dia newspaper quoted Governor Ricardo Rossello as saying. In the southcoast city of Guayama, west of where Maria blew ashore, storm waters turned streets into fast-running rivers carrying wind-downed debris.

Maria killed at least two people in the French territory of Guadeloupe as it barreled through the Caribbean. It devastated the tiny island nation of Dominica and caused widespread damage on St. Croix, one of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Hurricane Irma, which ranked as one of the most powerful Atlantic storms on record, also left a trail of destruction in several Caribbean islands and Florida this month, killing at least 84 people in the Caribbean and the U.S. mainland.

“God is with us; we are stronger than any hurricane,” Rossello said in a Twitter message on Wednesday. “Together we will rise again.”

Maria was expected to dump as much as 25 inches (66 cm) of rain on parts of Puerto Rico, the NHC said. Storm surges, when hurricanes push ocean water dangerously over normal levels, could be up to 9 feet (2.7 meters.) The heavy rainfall could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, it added.

“This a catastrophe we’re going through,” said Madeline Morales, 62, a saleswoman in San Juan who abandoned her coastal home before the storm hit to seek refuge in a hotel on higher ground.

Maria was set to be the strongest hurricane to hit Puerto Rico since 1928, when the San Felipe Segundo hurricane slammed the island and killed about 300 people, the National Weather Service said.

Before hitting Puerto Rico, Maria ripped off roofs and downed trees as it passed west of St. Croix, home to about half of the U.S. Virgin Islands’ 103,000 residents, as a rare Category 5 storm, the top of the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale.

Some 65 to 70 percent of the buildings on St. Croix were damaged by the storm, said Holland Redfield, who served six terms in the U.S. Virgin Islands senate.

“There were a lot of homes that had lost their roofs. It was a sad sight,” Redfield said in a phone interview, describing viewing the island. “I’m in a very densely populated area now and I see a tremendous amount of confusion. A lot of trees are down.”

In Guadeloupe, at least two people were killed, according to France’s minister for overseas territories. Many roads were blocked and some 80,000 people, or 40 percent of the population, were without power, the overseas territories ministry said in a statement. In the largest city, Point-a-Pitre, there was flooding of more than three feet (a meter) in parts of the city, access to the port was blocked and a hospital was damaged, it said.

‘IRMA WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO THIS’

Maria was on a track to pass just north of the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic on Wednesday night and Thursday, the NHC said. So far, it did not look likely to threaten the continental United States.

“Irma was nothing compared to this,” said Juan Pablo Alvarez, a 61 year old retiree in San Juan. “This is going to do a lot of damage.”

Even though Irma grazed north of Puerto Rico and did not hit the island directly, it knocked out power for 70 percent of the island, and killed at least three people.

Puerto Rico is grappling with the largest municipal debt crisis in U.S. history, with both its government and the public utility having filed for bankruptcy protection amid disputes with creditors.

There were hurricane warnings and watches in effect for the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Culebra, and Vieques, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the southeastern Bahamas and the Dominican Republic from Cabo Engano to Puerto Plata. source

New Requests For Spanish Bibles For Harris County Jail, KJVs For Florida State Prison And Ruckman Reference Bibles For Ada County Jail In Idaho

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Florida State Prison, ADA County Jail and Harris County Jail are just 3 of the latest requests for King James Bibles that we’ve received just this week

Yesterday at the Bookstore, we had a wonderful visit from Chaplain Bob from the Rock of Ages Jail Ministry in Texas, that’s him shown with me in the top photo. You may recall that a little while ago, we sent a massive load of Bibles to the Harris County Jail in Houston, Texas that he had requested. As it turns out, Chaplain Bob happened to be in town and wanted to stop by and say ‘thank you’ for all the Bibles we sent , and to make a new and much-needed request for 500 Spanish Bibles.

“For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.” Psalm 69:33 (KJB)

In addition to that, we also received email requests for Bibles from Chaplain Wynn at Florida State Prison in Raiford, and from Treasure Valley Baptist Church in Meridian, Idaho, Bibles that will be distributed at the ADA County Jail in Boise. They told me that Dr. Ruckman had preached many times at Treasure Valley, and they very much wanted the inmates they minister to to have a copy of the Ruckman Reference Bible. The RRBs cost about three times more than the regular KJVs, but when they told me of their connection to Doc, we couldn’t say no. They are sending in a love offering to help with the cost. All in all, another boatload of Bibles need to be sent out, and we need you to help us to do it!

When we send Bibles to jails and prisons, we’re not just ‘sending a book’, we are sending the preserved words of God, and flooding their cells with a Light above that of a thousand suns. We are Hope dealers to people society has cast off and rejected, precious souls who desperately need this live-changing gift of a Bible. Come help us to keep doing this vital end times work, we need you!

We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: The Last Trump And The Judgment Of God That’s Coming On America

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The last trump is about to sound as we are watching the judgment of God coming upon an America that is ripe and ready for a takedown

On our Tuesday Night Bible Study, our subject was ‘The Last Trump and the Judgment of God On Israel’, which turned out to be a wild, eye-opening rocket ride through Israel in the end times. It was part Bible study and part Podcast. So we thought it would be fun on the Friday Podcast to continue that theme in a ‘part two’ with ‘The Last Trump and the Judgment of God on America’. A Podcast that is part Bible Study.  This will certainly not be for the faint-hearted ‘Sunday Christian’ who thinks God is concerned with making America great again. Spoiler Alert: He’s not.

“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,” 2 Peter 3:3 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, America is not only ripe for judgment, I would submit to you that God has already begun to judge our fair nation, and all the stark, raving mad events we watch taking place on a daily basis are testament to that. From a growing surveillance state, the Epstein Files, the ever-worsening economy, all the way up to our Commander-in-chief calling for the execution of Democrats who disagree with him, these are darkening days for the old red, white and blue. On this episode, we show you just how deep this rabbit hole goes, and it just may be too much for you to handle.

BREAKING: President Trump Just Said That Democrats Who Call For Active Duty Military To ‘Refuse Unlawful Orders’ Are To Be Locked Up And Put To Death!

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Donald Trump said that six Democratic lawmakers who put out a video urging military members to ‘refuse illegal orders’ were guilty of ‘SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!’ in a stunning Thursday morning post

If you needed any more proof that America in 2025 is not merely politically divided but spiritually collapsing, look no further than the astonishing moment this week when Donald Trump declared that a group of Democratic lawmakers—many of them former military and intelligence officers—had engaged in “seditious behavior punishable by death.” Their crime? Posting a video reminding U.S. service members that they are sworn to obey lawful orders, not illegal ones. That’s the Constitution, and that’s the memo.

And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.” Daniel 11:36 (KJB)

Now let’s get something straight. As Christians, we believe Romans 13:1 when it says, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.” But we also stand with Acts 5:29, “We ought to obey God rather than men.” The military oath itself requires obedience to the Constitution, not to any one man. So when Democrats released a video telling soldiers not to follow illegal orders, they were actually repeating something baked directly into military law. U.S. law defines seditious conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 2384), rebellion/insurrection (18 U.S.C. § 2383), but applying these to members of Congress and their speech would be unprecedented. Yet Trump responded by calling them traitors who should face death. That is literal insanity, saying that people who follow the Constitution instead of him should be put to death. And just like that, the temperature in America went from simmer to boil. Trump has become an irrational madman, and he is on the verge of doing some real and lasting damage to this country.

‘Punishable by DEATH’: Trump Floats Execution for Democrats Who Urged Soldiers to Disobey Illegal Orders

FROM MEDIAITE: The video, which was shared by Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), featured appearances from herself, Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ), as well as Reps. Jason Crow (D-CO), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), and Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) — all of whom are veterans of the military or intelligence community.

“We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.” wrote Slotkin in her caption.

As a group, the Democrats submitted that “This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens.”

“Right now, the threats to our constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear: You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders,” they continued, before going on to assert that “We have your back.”

“Don’t give up the ship,” urged several of the participants at the conclusion of the video.

On Thursday morning, Trump shared an article about the video, as well as his own thoughts on the matter.

“It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand – We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET. President DJT,” he wrote.

That opening volley was followed up by a number of reposts of comments assailing the Democrats in the video — including one which called for them to be hanged — as well as a second and third post from Trump himself. READ MORE
