Global Signs of
Christ's Coming

Matthew 24:3

The fifth trend that starts small and builds in strength and intensity is the sign of global commerce: with digitalized money and global tracking.

How close are we getting to that scenario? The last week of August when we moved here I was at Home Depot getting a lawn mower to take a stab at the grass that was growing too high. I checked out, handed my credit card, the clerk paused, sent me over to the service desk to stand, soon the phone rang--it was Omaha, Nebraska where the VISA fraud department saw a large purchase on a ...
