We know that massive quantities of yellowcake were found in Libya during the revolution/ousting of Gaddafi. I reported that here on September 27.
Then 4 days ago, Ynet News from Israel reported chemical weapons were found.
'Chemical weapons in Libya under guard'
"NTC finds chemical weapons, secures them following death of ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. 'They are from Gaddafi's era and are under guard, until they can be handed over," says NTC official."
Tonight, Ynet News reports that "banned weapons" have been found.
"Libya's National Transitional Council chairman Mahmoud Jibril announced that banned weapons have been found in his country, reported Al Arabiya. (Roee Nahmias)"
The Jerusalem Post goes further and reveals that the banned weapons discovered were in fact nuclear weapons.
"The outgoing premier of Libya's NTC, Mahmoud Jibril said Sunday that nuclear weapons were found in the country, according to the Al Arabiya TV network, Israel Radio reported. Jibril also said that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will provide further details on the weapons found in the next few days, according to the report."
I really don't see how the world will avoid what seems like the prophesied massive wars of the last days in the Middle East within 6 months. Or sooner. It seems to me to be like a Mack Truck bearing down on a stranded turtle in the middle of the highway. . I'm not looking for it. I'm not hoping for it. But if indeed this report is true that there are nukes in Libya; (and with all that yellowcake it was obvious that there likely would be) unstable, Sharia instituting, al-Qaeda flag planting, Libya- prophesied to be so much a part of the war and horror of the last days, then war seems more likely than ever to follow.

Friday This and That
It's been a long week, for me and I'm sure many others. I'm looking forward to this weekend and also next weekend: we have a four day Fall break. I've already completed my domestic tasks tonight so tomorrow I have more free time. I'll make apple crisp and some veggie soup. Maybe some homemade bread.
Focusing on the timeless domestic satisfying tasks helps me stay relaxed as the news gets darker and more potent. I also love to listen to good, strong sermons.
I heard a very good sermon tonight from Don Green at Grace Community Church (John MacArthur's church.) It is on "Marriage and Singleness". He began his sermon with a definition of marriage: "A God ordained institution in which a man and a woman covenant with one another to live as husband and wife in an exclusive monogamous relationship for the remainder of their earthly lives together."
I was listening to another sermon, and I'm sorry I don't remember this one's origins, but I heard the following and immediately wrote it down: "We've gone from Norman Rockwell's America to Hugh Hefner's America." Boy, ain't that the truth.
That reminds me of the verse from Luke 17:29-30, 'As it was in the days of Lot, even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed'...
America in decline is all the rage this week. An article in the UK's Financial Times stated, "America must manage its decline".
A movie is making the rounds, "Agenda: Grinding America Down". "When Idaho legislator Curtis Bowers wrote a “Letter to the Editor” about the drastic changes in America’s culture, it became the feature story on the evening news, people protested at the capitol, and for weeks the local newspapers were filled with responses. He realized then that he’d hit on something. Ask almost anyone and you will hear, “Communism is dead! The Berlin wall came down.” But although the word “communism” has fallen out of favor, Marxism continues to have a powerful influence upon our nation, as this new film quickly reveals. Join Bowers for a fascinating look at the people and groups that have successfully targeted America’s morality and freedom in their effort to grind America down."
Watching the interesting 6-minute trailer for the film, I was reminded of Naomi Wolf's assertion in 2007 that we are all on the way to Fascism, in her treatise "Fascist America, in 10 easy steps." I wrote about it at the time, and was roundly criticized. Now we can see that the ten steps are fulfilled.
Dimitry Orlov, author of Reinventing Collapse, has been saying the same for lots longer. His perennial favorite article, written in Dec. 2006: "Closing the 'Collapse Gap': the USSR was better prepared for collapse than the US." He said it again on October 9, here. Dmitry Orlov (born 1962) is an engineer and a writer on subjects related to "potential economic, ecological and political decline and collapse in the United States," something he has called “permanent crisis”. Orlov believes collapse will be the result of huge military budgets, government deficits, an unresponsive political system and declining oil production. (source). His perspective is interesting because he is from the old Soviet Union, and writes extensively on how the Soviets were so much better prepared to handle a collapse than the Americans, and why.
A strong quake at Kermedec Islands struck today, 7.4. Another strong quake struck at Japan today, a 6.1. (USGS). Erki Klemetti at Eruptions blog noted a quake swarm at Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
The nations listed in prophecy are alive in the headlines. Libya's Gaddafi was killed this week and Russia is claiming that the kill breached International Law. Both nations are Gog Magog coalition partners.
Syria is claiming that any Mid East war will begin at Tel Aviv, which, according to Psalm 83 and Isaiah 17, may well happen in that way. Most scholars believe that Psalm 83 is a parked intercessory prayer for a war that has not happened yet. Isaiah 17 prophesies the overnight destruction of Damascus, Syria, and both of these likely precede the Ezekiel Gog Magog war. Psalm 83 includes Syria, Gog Magog includes Russia, Turkey, Iran, Israel, Libya and others.
Speaking of Iran, it seems they have enough bomb making materials to make 4 nukes. They are so close that they are moving their nuke stuff to bunkers to better protect it. If they get their stuff into bunkers, a strike by US or Israel will be all the more difficult.
He is the Light! No matter the news, "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalms 27:1) Salvation is eternal, and it is secure.
I love to think of the Lord as the Light. He is so bright, so light, and His glory is bright forever. "For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light." (Psalms 36:9). I believe we shall see that Light soon.
Maranatha!

10,000 barrels of yellowcake uranium found in Libya, shocking observers (UPDATED)
UPDATE: Also this news from ABC tonight:
Nightmare in Libya: Thousands of Surface-to-Air Missiles Unaccounted For
"The White House announced today it planned to expand a program to secure and destroy Libya's huge stockpile of dangerous surface-to-air missiles, following an ABC News report that large numbers of them continue to be stolen from unguarded military warehouses." [emphasis mine]
Sigh. The civil war in Libya has spawned a free-for-all plundering of stockpiled military weapons of mass destruction, it seems.
Libya is a Gog Magog nation, a nation that Ezekiel 38:5 prophesies will attack Israel in the last days. This means it is aggressive, and it has the means to join a coalition that includes Turkey which has the second largest army in NATO, and Russia, America's traditional counter-superpower.
While all eyes have been in Iran's nuclear program, Syria's chemical program, and Israel's diplomatic program, 10,000 barrels of uranium yellowcake was discovered in Sahba, Libya- unguarded. Iran is reportedly very interested in what is happening in the area, which was unsecured until two days ago. Many barrels are open. If this material, which is worth a fortune on the black market, fell into the wrong hands it would be devastating.
Yellowcake is used in the preparation of uranium fuel for nuclear reactors, for which it is smelted into purified UO2 for use in fuel rods for pressurized heavy-water reactors and other systems that use natural unenriched uranium. (source)
AL Jazeera English has the story, which opens with a few sentences and continues on video. The prophecy in Revelation 6:4 that peace will be taken from the earth is getting easier and easier to see nearing.
