September 9, 2014

Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has condemned a bomb attack on a shopping centre in a busy metro station in the capital Santiago on Monday.

The attack, in which 14 people were injured, is one of the worst since democracy was restored in 1990.

Ms Bachelet called it a “terrorist act, one of the most cowardly we have seen”.

There have been around 200 bomb attacks in Santiago in the past decade, with anarchist groups claiming responsibility for many of them. …

The president said she would convene a meeting of her security committee on Tuesday to decide how to proceed.

“What’s happened is horrible, an abominable act, but Chile is and will continue to be a safe country,” Ms Bachelet said.

The explosive device went off at lunchtime at a fast-food restaurant in an underground shopping centre at the Escuela Militar metro station.

About 150,000 people pass through the station daily. …

Ms Bachelet said it was “one of the most cowardly acts we’ve seen because it had as its objective to maim, spread fear and even kill innocent people”. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-29124307

Terrorism is horrible and wrong.

Over in the USA, children in the Midwest and elsewhere have been hit by entervirus 68:

INDIANA (WFIE) -Indiana Health officials say a severe respiratory illness that has sickened hundreds of children has possibly reached the Hoosier state. The Indiana State Department of Health reported Monday that laboratory results show three people in northern Indiana recently tested positive for a virus similar to the germ that causes the common cold.

The CDC says the unusually high number of hospitalizations reported now could be “just the tip of the iceberg.”

Ten states have contacted the CDC for assistance in investigating clusters of enterovirus.

“We’ve worked together with the Missouri health department and the Illinois Health Department in Chicago and in those two instances some of the increase in respiratory illness has been linked to enterovirus 68, that’s an unusual type of enterovirus and one that we don’t know much about as we like,” said Dr. Ann Schuchat, CDC. http://www.14news.com/story/26483743/health-officials-say-illness-that-has-sickened-hundreds-of-kids-could-be-in-hoosier-state

“Dozens” of children between the ages of 6 weeks and 16 years tested positive for EV68 in a recent genetic sequencing effort undertaken by CDC staff. Because EV68 is so rare, there’s no other way to test for it.

Most hospitalized children received fluids and medications to open their airways, but at least one was put on a ventilator.

The confirmed cases are localized in the Midwest, but a dozen other states have contacted the CDC to report potential outbreaks. The agency is still investigating those cases and declined to identify the states, but news reports have mentioned Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, and Oklahoma. http://www.healthline.com/health-news/cdc-identifies-respiratory-illness-090814

Jesus warned of diseases and troubles that would come during the ‘beginning of sorrows’:

6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:6-8)

8 And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)

As I told the prior COG group I was affiliated with in the Fall of 2009, I believe that the ‘beginning of sorrows’ started then. We are still in that time. The sorrows are not the end, but a signal that the end is getting closer.

Many agree that the end is getting closer, what do you plan to do about it?
