Earlier this week I alerted some friends to take note that Condoleeza Rice has gone to Israel to prepare for the US-led summit to be held next month in the US. She's putting pressure big-time on the Israeli government to formally establish a Palestinian state within Israel's borders, and even cede some parts of Jerusalem. While in Israel this time, she has made very severe statements along these lines.
Many of you know that I've been watching for some time now the correlation between US pressure upon Israel and judgment upon this country, usually immediately, after the President or Secretary of State goes to Israel with such intent.
Please take a look at this morning's headlines from Fox News. And by the way, this venture to Israel is not over yet and is the preparation work leading up to the November summit.
Heaven will not be silent while the US, a supposedly Bible-based country, sticks its finger in God's eye right in the midst of God's long-prophesied program of restoring the children of Jacob back to the land of their fathers, which is well underway. This was the first time I've alerted people before the fact to watch for judgment as our government begins another horrendous pressure upon Israel to cede parts of her land to her enemy.

Wreaking Havoc in Plains, South
Storms that raked the Plains and Southeast on Thursday tossed a mobile home in Missouri, killing both people inside, and spawned a tornado in Florida that sent mall shoppers and children at a day care center running for cover.

In rural northeastern Missouri, the state Highway Patrol said Kent Ensor and Kristy Secrease had sought refuge in Secrease's mobile home in Monroe County as a tornado approached.

A tornado Thursday morning in Pensacola, Fla., damaged the city's major shopping mall. A department store stock manager, said he heard the wind outside the store suddenly speed up and get louder. Then mall security guards entered the store and ordered 200 to 300 employees and shoppers into the basement. In downtown Pensacola, electricity was out and streets filled up with several inches of water from the rain.
The manager of the mall's Express for Men store, said water poured in from her shop's damaged ceiling. In downtown Pensacola, electricity was out and streets filled up with several inches of water from rain.

Jack Cullen, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, confirmed that a tornado touched down shortly before noon.
The severe weather continued into the night. Thunderstorms injured four people in a mobile home west of Louisville, Kentucky. Four more people were hurt when a mobile home in Sebree, Ky., collapsed because of strong winds, state police said.
Possible tornadoes were reported Thursday night in Illinois and Indiana. Winds reached 80 mph in New Amsterdam, Indiana. A sudden downpour belted downtown Chicago just as people left work, sending commuters scurrying into buildings to avoid strong winds, hail and horizontal rain. An 11-year-old boy was in stable condition after being struck by lightning.
To the West, a falling tree injured a woman and more than 220,000 customers lost power at the height of the storm.
