Israel Forest Fire the Worst Disaster in History



 At least 40 people were killed and dozen were injured as the deadliest forest fire in Israel's history swept through the north of the country. 
A large number of the dead were believed to be Israeli prison wardens on board a bus who had been sent to evacuate prisoners from a local jail as a wall of flame advanced across the forested slopes of the Biblically fabled Carmel Mountains.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, has appealed for international assistance as his attempted to come to grips with one of the deadliest disasters in its 62-year history.
"This is a disaster of unprecedented proportions," he said.
The bus, which was carrying over 50 people, became trapped in flames fanned by a strong easterly wind and overturned, according to the emergency services.
Israeli police said they had initially been able to communicate with those on board before losing radio contact altogether. They said they were aware of a number of casualties on the bus, but were unable to give further details.

The Parable of the Fig Tree

Image via Wikipedia According to statistics we have lost the most in population than any other state. One main reason due to unemployment. Officials here are planning to bring jobs into the area. Just how they have a job on their hands (no pun intended). My life is surrounded by certain events from the time I was born to the present. I was born ten years after Israel became a nation in May 1948. The fig tree was just beginning to bloom. I'm referring to the parable spoken by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24. From the time Israel came into existence, America has gone through changes and one of them is a decline in our culture. In our century alone most biblical prophecy has been fulfilled. The trouble with us now we tend to ignore the consequences. So far, in my lifetime in 1962 the Supreme Court had ordered prayer out of our schools. Our faith is still under fire. California lawyer Michael Newdow sued the U.S. Congress that the phase under God in the Pledge of Allegiance was de
