OK, I KNOW this is controversial. I know it is inflammatory. I know it is provocative. But I'm going to say it anyway as a warning to my friends and family: We are way overdue for the next terrorist attack, and there is no better time to expect it than the next 8 weeks or so. HERE is why... (in no particular order)

1) Terrorists may be chomping at the bit.

The other day my thoughts drifted to how Bush is leaving office and entering retirement. It isn't much of a secret that he has lots of enemies. It also isn't much of a secret that he is slipping into the background during his lame-duck phase of this term. If you were an idiotic sub-human varmint that thought 911 was cool, wouldn't this be a great chance for you do something as despicable when Bush has his guard down? Not only is it a great chance ... it is your last chance. Admit it, it makes sense given that some people are so evil in this world to look for such an opportunity.

2) We are overdue.

Am I the only one that thinks we have been very blessed to go 7+ years without any domestic attacks? Surly, I am not.

3) Corroboration with friends.

Yesterday, I started to tell a friend named James what I was thinking along these lines, and he interrupted me to tell me that he was about to tell me the same thing. I called Tim to tell him what James and I discussed and before I could say anything, Tim said he senses it too. Yeah, it is circumstantial ... but these guys meditate and pray as much as I do (if not more,) so I give this some weight.

4) What Jesus said.

For about a year, a friend of mine (Tim) has been storing food and supplies, because that is what the Lord told him to do (yes, audibly.) Just the other day, Tim was startled in the middle of diner with an unusually loud Word from the Lord: "Timothy, you must increase your stockpile of food by one-fifth before this winter." (paraphrase.)

5) Mid-East powder-keg looking for spark.

Please tell me you have noticed the saber-rattling going on since early October in the Mid-East news. Syria, Iran and Israel are picking fights. The United States have violated Pakistan and Syria boarders ... repeatedly. These hot-heads don't need much to set them off ... and in the last month and a half, they have had PLENTY of sparks that could start the world on fire ... again.

6) Prophetic utterances needing near-term fulfillment.

For reasons already discussed, this prophetic word (http://gracehead.com/myrandomfiles/html.htm) needs near-term fulfillment. Apparently, the "kill," "burn," and "tear down" as well as the "vengeance" part must all come within the next 20-30 months or so. And the double vengeance part, doesn't sound like the next executive administration to me.

7) As a nation, the USA is really off track, and needing discipline.

Two major things are under attack: sanctity of the living unborn and marriage. This nation has forsaken God's guidance in these things for the most part, and ... if He loves this nation; He will surly discipline.

TO BE CLEAR: I certainly do not cheer for this to happen. It is grievous and sorrowful to think about. I hope we are never attacked again. But even as an optimistic fellow, that isn't realistic at all. The government has warned us time and time again that we will be attacked again someday. I'm just saying that they might be proven correct very soon. This winter makes sense to me.

Feel free to say that I'm a dork if I am wrong about this. That is fine, and I would deserve it. But if I am right, give some consideration to the thoughts above and the links referenced. Time will tell ... so give it a 90 days of skepticism and then laugh this off if I was wrong.
