Five Suns in Battambang

It’s been a Mark Twain month: “I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.” In my word’s, “Weird!” There were five suns over Battambang on April Fool’s Day, and it was no joke (click here to see video footage).  Obviously, it was caused by some strange atmospheric optical effect, but all the local shaman claim it’s a “Bad omen!” Since our God loves to prove them wrong, it must be good news! It definitely stirred some emotions and fears and induced a time to pause and reflect on Luke 21:25 & Matt 24:5-7. We’ve got “Blood Moons,” plenty of wars, earthquakes, volcanoes, epidemics, droughts, false teachers claiming to be the Christ, floods, Israel surrounded with enemies, and various and sundry other disasters, enough to turn any doomsayer into a prophet. As for me? I’m planting our rice crop. Sure, Jesus is coming back someday, but I’m not storing up food and ammunition. If a starving neighbor comes to steal my food I don’t plan to shoot him.  If it really gets that bad, I’ll just have him shoot me, send me to heaven, and he can have my share.
