My Summary: Some of the Worlds Government Leaders are Blind to the "TRUTH", The Knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! These are World Government Leaders that have been DECEIVED by Satan and His Demons for there personal depravity, iniquity, wickedness, malice, evil purposes and desires

Lusts, Vanity, Self Gain, Power, so there own Desires may be fulfilled. Not Gods will be done, there own will be done. They have Government Authority for a SHORT TIME ONLY and they know it!!! I BELIEVE WE ARE IN THE LAST DAYS OF MANS RULE ON EARTH!!! These Government  Rulers are of this age Ruled by Devils and Demons prescribing to there Fleshly Desires. I believe these Government Powers know there PERIOD OF TIME IS SHORT!!!") Our beloved Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is coming soon!!" 

               "TOUGH TIMES AHEAD!!!"                        

"GOD ALWAYS WARNS HIS CHILDREN...SATAN NEVER DOES!!!"

THE LOVE, MERCY AND GRACE OF GOD ABOUNDS IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS THE CHRIST!!! AMEN...:)
