Two days ago I wrote a commentary based on recent comments made by Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden as detailed in an ABC News story:

Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., on Sunday guaranteed that if elected, Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.

Senator Obama is now referring to this remark on the part of his running mate as a "rhetorical flourish", but the question remains: What does Joe Biden know that we don't know? One has to wonder.

As seen in a CNN interview, Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin doesn't seem to have any idea what Senator Biden was referring to but, like most of us, she would like him to explain in greater detail what he might have been referring to.

Clearly, the American public has a right to know what the international crisis Biden is potentially referring to may consist of, especially in light of the fact he seemed to be preparing Obama's supporters to rally around him because Obama's response to the matter may not rest well with the American people.

Interestingly, when former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced his endorsement of Senator Obama, he too made reference to an international crisis testing an Obama administration. His prediction went a step further than Biden's. Dates were attached: January 21st or 22nd

I don't know what's about to take place in the dangerous end times world we're living in but all indicators seem to be pointing toward times becoming quite perilous in the months ahead.

Remain prayerful, Church. Remember, we are never alone and, based on all the prophetic signs visible in the world around us, the time of our redemption is drawing near.
