War and Rumors of Wars
America’s new move infuriates China
"CHINA has reacted with anger to the deployment of an advanced US weapon system intended to shoot-down potentially nuclear-tipped North Korean missiles shortly after launch.
US missile launchers and other equipment needed to set up a the controversial missile defence arrived this week in South Korea, the US and South Korean militaries said.
The announcement comes one day after North Korea test-fired four ballistic missiles into the ocean near Japan.
The plans to deploy the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system, or THAAD, within this year have angered not only North Korea, but also China and Russia, which see the system’s powerful radars as a security threat."

There are many people on that board who believe that famine and war and earthquakes will happen only during the Great Tribulation...and that they will be raptured to heaven before it happen...i known of one lady on this thread who watch all these calamities happening and each time a bad news goes through her feeling that she will be "raptured soon" is growing.
Please ---Don't stop to feed her with bad news !
There will be surely fundraising put in place to get money to help feeding these people... as good Christians will you give at least 1$ of your money to help them ?

Look at the date in the link. It's dated March 12, 2017, which is today. We're not in the great tribulation yet.
UN: World facing largest humanitarian crisis since 1945 - CNN.com
When the great tribulation does happen, you'll know it when you see people turn cannibalism.
Ezekiel 5:9-12King James Version (KJV)
9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.
11 Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord God; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
And she's correct. The bible tells us to be watchful for the Lord's return or else you'll get left behind like the others that refuses to listen and believe the bible.
Luke 21:34-36King James Version (KJV)
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Jesus comes to rapture the church at a time when people are drinking, getting drunk and indulged with everyday life activities. This sounds nothing like a period of great tribulation nor after the tribulation.

World faces worst humanitarian crisis since WWII: UN
United Nations (United States) (AFP) - The United Nations is warning that the world is facing its worst humanitarian crisis since the end of World War II, with more than 20 million people facing starvation and famine in four countries.
The world body's humanitarian chief Stephen O'Brien called Friday for an urgent mobilization of funds -- $4.4 billion by July -- for northeastern Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen to "avert a catastrophe."
"Otherwise, many people will predictably die from hunger, livelihoods will be lost and political gains that have been hardwon over the last few years will be reversed," O'Brien said in his stark warning to the UN Security Council.
"Without collective and coordinated global efforts, people will simply starve to death. Many more will suffer and die from disease. Children stunted and out of school. Livelihoods, futures and hope will be lost."
He called war-wracked Yemen "the largest humanitarian crisis in the world," with two thirds of the population, or 18.8 million people -- three million more than in January -- in need of assistance and more than seven million with no regular access to food.
The conflict in Yemen has left more than 7,400 people dead and 40,000 wounded since an Arab-state coalition intervened on the government's side against rebels in March 2015, according to UN figures.
In just the past two months alone, more than 48,000 people have fled fighting in the Arab world's poorest country, according to O'Brien, as it grapples with a proxy war fought by archrivals Iran and Saudi Arabia.
- 'Arbitrarily denying' access -
During recent meetings, O'Brien said senior leaders in both parties agreed to provide continuous humanitarian access and respect international humanitarian law.
He noted that 4.9 million people received food assistance last month alone.
"Yet all parties to the conflict are arbitrarily denying sustained humanitarian access and politicize aid," he added.
"Already, the humanitarian suffering that we see in Yemen today is caused by the parties and proxies and if they don't change their behavior now, they must be held accountable for the inevitable famine, unnecessary deaths and associated amplification in suffering that will follow."
He noted that despite assurances from all parties that he would obtain safe passage to the flashpoint city of Taiz, he was in fact denied access and came under gunfire after retreating to a short distance away.
A total of $2.1 billion are needed to reach 12 million people with life-saving assistance and protection in Yemen this year, according to O'Brien, who noted that just six percent of those funds have been received so far.
He announced that a ministerial-level pledging event for Yemen will take place in Geneva on April 25, to be chaired by UN chief Antonio Guterres.
- Politics behind 'man-made famine' -
During his visit last week to South Sudan, the world's youngest nation, O'Brien said he found a situation that is "worse than it has ever been."
"The famine in South Sudan is man-made," he added.
"Parties to the conflict are parties to the famine -- as are those not intervening to make the violence stop."
He said more than 7.5 million people need assistance, an increase of 1.4 million fro last year. And some 3.4 million people are displaced, including nearly 200,000 who have fled South Sudan since January alone.
More than half the population of Somalia -- 6.2 million people -- need humanitarian assistance and protection, including 2.9 million at risk of famine.
Nearly one million children under the age of five will be "acutely malnourished" this year, according to the humanitarian chief, who also visited the country.
"What I saw and heard during my visit to Somalia was distressing -- women and children walk for weeks in search of food and water," O'Brien said.
"They have lost their livestock, water sources have dried up and they have nothing left to survive on. With everything lost, women, boys, girls and men now move to urban centers."
In northeastern Nigeria, O'Brien said 10.7 million people need humanitarian aid, including 7.1 million people who are "severely food insecure."
The humanitarian emergency afflicting the area was triggered by the Boko Haram insurgency, which erupted in Nigeria in 2009. Poor governance and climate change have also been powerful contributors to the crisis.
The conflict, which has left around 20,000 people dead and forced more than 2.6 million others to flee their homes, has aggravated an already difficult humanitarian situation in one of the poorest regions of the world.

North Korea also stated last week their test launching of ballistic missiles was in preparation for a missile strike against U.S. military bases in Japan. Trump immediately responded; "This declaration by North Korea constitutes a whole new level of threat" and added; "The possibility of the U.S. using a military solution to resolve the threat wasn't off the table". (Source PBS News Hour).

The Scripture also says, "Do Not Tempt The Lord God".
I suppose when the Apostle Paul was escaping Jerusalem he could have just put it in God's hands and tried strolling right out through the city gates past the temple guards.. but he didn't. Instead the other Apostles lowered him down the outside of the city wall using a rope and a basket.
I don't know what the rest of you are going to do during the Tribulation Period, but I'm going over the wall with a rope and a basket.
If that makes me an "unbeliever" in the eyes of some, I'm good with that. I won't be any worse off than the Apostle Paul ! LOL.
