“It Heads to Target Like a Meteorite, like a Fireball,”

God was doing extraordinary and unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or face-towels or aprons that had touched his skin were brought to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out [of them]. 

 Then some of the traveling Jewish exorcists also attempted to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I implore you and solemnly command you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches!” 

 Seven sons of one [named] Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 

But the evil spirit retorted, “I know and recognize and acknowledge Jesus, and I know about Paul, but as for you, who are you?” 

Then the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaped on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they ran out of that house [in terror, stripped] naked and wounded. 

This became known to all who lived in Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified and exalted. 

Many of those who had become believers were coming, confessing and disclosing their [former sinful] practices. 

And many of those who had practiced magical arts collected their books and [throwing book after book on the pile] began burning them in front of everyone.

They calculated their value and found it to be [d]50,000 pieces of silver. 

So the word of the Lord [concerning eternal salvation through faith in Christ] was growing greatly and prevailing.

Now after these events, Paul determined in the Spirit that he would travel through [e]Macedonia and Achaia (most of the Greek mainland), and go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome [and preach the good news of salvation].” 

And after sending two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia [ahead of him], he stayed on in [the west coast province of] Asia [Minor] for a while.

About that time there occurred no small disturbance concerning the Way (Jesus, Christianity). 

No $$$ = RAGE

Now a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of [the goddess] Artemis (Diana), was bringing no small profit to the craftsmen. 

These [craftsmen] he called together, along with the workmen of similar trades, and said, “Men, you are well aware that we make a good living from this business. 

You see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but almost all over [the province of] Asia, this Paul has persuaded [people to believe his teaching] and has misled a large number of people, claiming that gods made by [human] hands are not really gods at all. 

Not only is there danger that this trade of ours will be discredited, but also that the [magnificent] temple of the great goddess [h]Artemis will be discredited, and that she whom all Asia and the world worship will even be dethroned and lose her glorious magnificence.

When they heard this, they were filled with rage...

Economic collapse 

Then comes the riots, rage & confusion.

I find it worth noting that the great and extraordinary work God did in Ephesus did some serious damage to the surrounding, corrupt economy.

Reminds me of corrupt Washington and the corrupt greed infested, wealthy Washington D.C. Beltway, and the rest of $ worshiping godless, reprobate America, and how Mammon King Trump is always touting jobs and HIS great Economy.

Look for the proud ones, worshipers of Mammon to be humbled, and brought down low.

The steps of a [good and righteous] man are directed and established by the Lord,
And He delights in his way [and blesses his path].

“It heads to target like a meteorite, like a fireball,” 

Russia says it is first nation with operational new hypersonic nuclear weapons

Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle can travel 27 times the speed of sound and zig-zag through atmosphere en route to target, making it almost impossible to intercept.

The new Russian weapon and a similar system being developed by China have troubled the United States, which has pondered defense strategies.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

The US has no defense against this new nuclear weapon and this is why those in the know are troubled, way behind and working too late to catch up. 

They keep the masses in the dark (which is extremely easy to do in America today) about the dark cloud of  "sudden destruction" they are now under.

Russia Rejects Extending Iran Arms Embargo, Defying U.S.

U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo earlier this year warned that allowing renewed weapons sales to Iran will mean the country will be “unleashed to create new global turmoil.”

Ending the ban on military sales “is important for Russia as it will bring it closer to Iran and opens up the world’s last big untapped weapons markets,”

AMERICA, TOO CORRUPT TO FIX 

“The idea of what Joe Biden is arguing here is exactly what you just impeached the president for, his feelings about the subpoena process and congressional oversight made him feel like not complying because he didn’t like what you were asking,” Cuomo told Doggett. “How is it any different than what Joe Biden is saying?”

No justice in the evil empire. Democrats, the definition of reprobates, are above the law and Republicans are worthless.

Burst of Christmas earthquakes near Vancouver Island raise fears of the Big One

The first came at 8:44 a.m. local time, just off the northern tip of Vancouver Island, with a magnitude of 5.1. Then at 11:13 was a 5.6, and at 11:49 a 5.8. They were getting larger and more frequent. A 6.2 on Christmas Eve was enough to escalate the panic. Another on Christmas Day seemed fateful. All told, there were nine within a little more than two days, and not just any two days.
