Other “signs of the times” that prove we are living in “the time of the signs”:

Astronomers have pinpointed with unprecedented accuracy an immense black hole with a mass of more than 2 million suns at the center of the spiral of stars that is the Milky Way galaxy²².

“`This has always been a major goal - to try to figure out exactly where the center of our galaxy is,” said Wallace Tucker at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass.

In addition to providing proof for the massive black hole, the discovery gives astronomers a chance to actually see the galaxy rotate about its center, and watch how it distorts and bends the orbits of nearby stars.

“We're used to looking at galaxies that change on times scales of millions and billions of years, but we never see them change because they change too slowly,” said Kormendy, an astronomer at the University of Texas in Austin.

“Now we can see so close to the center of our galaxy that things are actually happening on a human time scale. If things go OK, we're going to live to see this piece of the galaxy rotate right in front of our eyes, and that's very nice,” he said.

Black holes are so dense they create gravity so strong that even light cannot escape their surface, making them nearly impossible to see. Kormendy said the black hole at the center of the galaxy is not pulling in other stars²³.

Might this be the “outer darkness” our Lord mentioned, into which some of His unfaithful servants, and the hypocrites, will be cast?²⁴  It most amazingly is at the center of our galaxy, with a gravity so dense one can picture it sucking up our Milky Way with a terrible roar²⁵.

Harry Potter books are also the # 1 selling children's books in the United States today. Barns & Noble, Waldenbooks, Amazon.com and others feature the books prominently with lauding reviews. Educators, even Christian teachers tout about how “It's great to see the youth so eagerly embracing the reading experience!”

Harry Potter is the creation of a former UK English teacher, JK Rowling, who promotes witchcraft and  Satanism. Harry is a 13 year old 'wizard' who openly blasphemes Jesus and G-d and promotes sorcery, seeking revenge upon anyone who upsets him by giving examples (even the sources with authors and titles) of spells, rituals, and demonic powers. Tragically, parents have not reviewed the material, since the name seems harmless enough... Harry Potter²⁷.

It makes one shudder!!! Where are the parents? While they are too busy with their “careers” and “money-making,” the children become easy prey for those who know how to infiltrate their young minds.

And now the first three of the four books, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone;” “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets;” “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” will be let loose also upon young Chinese minds. All that talk about spells, incantations, wizardry school, sorcerers and “Muggles” have caused concern among the government censors about the books promoting the occult in the midst of their campaign against superstition.

One wonders if indeed Communist China’s minds and morals are as corrupted and twisted as years of propaganda would have us believe? Meanwhile the United States is sending no warning signal going up, nor do the churches.
