What is going on out there.

Luke 21.30-36

Is something extraordinary as a wake up call.

Luke 24,44-45

It only happened after the mystery of us-911.

Which we took for granted as natural disasters.

When it's not.

With heavy tolls on casualties.

Without being aware on what went wrong out there.

Leviticus 26.13-24

After the mystery of us-911.

A lot of happenings had happened that gone unnoticed.

Until little horror chucky kick us on the butts.

Trying to tell us something is wrong out there.

Leviticus 26. 30-41

Without being aware of it.

Luke 8.10,17
