Daily journal November 5, 2000, leaving London for the highlands and the crossing of the Irish Sea to Dublin.
The new storm is now coming up the English Channel. The high ridiculous telephone rates are $5 per minute to call home, so we do not call home. This morning we traded in our continental breakfast for a full buffet breakfast in the hotel and headed out on expressway 40 West to M25 bypass North and M1 Northwest to go to Holy Head for the crossing to Dublin but the weather got so bad we sought help of a Welcome Center and learn that all sailings had been canceled. We then continued due North to go to Liverpool and try to get a boat but they were also all canceled, we found a hotel on the freeway at a Welcome Center and checked in for the night for 30 lbs. or about $50.00. It is so important I believe to know the detail of travel therefore making it possible for more people to travel with confidence and be brave to discover God's wonderful creation,I love to travel in the mother country but the flood is so severe that we must view it here under the dark clouds as we traveled today Northwest through Birmingham in the blinding rain as we cross the toll bridge into Liverpool Harbor and continued out East to join M6 to go North into Scotland. With limited television here especially the BBC poking fun at the American elections and especially George W. for his lacking of intelligence. The triple serious problem in England is the high tax on fuel cost causing blockades by the truckers and by the farmers in protest, the serious flooding over one-third the nation with houses by the thousands under water and a population freezing cold with the rails shutdown and national confusion. Mad cow disease they redefined as MSE threatens the food supply and exports of beef for them worldwide. It is a super time to become a strict vegetarian. One bite down on their link sausage here will make you a vegetarian for life. Smoking here by vehicles and people is worse than the states. That great city is in distress like it is described in the book of Revelation. That great city is one and the same in all the world today. New York, London, Hong Kong, Tokyo are all connected by wide-body planes only hours away from each other nonstop commuting in world trade and bloody business

Today is fireworks day in England celebrating the attempt to blow up Parliament in 1605. London reminds me of Rome. Rome had so much influence on England. Was this the Catholic thing? They call this gun powder treason day, it is fire works day and they are exploding fireworks in the rain at this very moment and we can see the flashes from the hotel. The old song " London Bridge is falling down " is true in a sense today. The British Empire is falling down and all the Queen's men cannot save it when it is passed its time. We circled Buckingham Palace on the left side of course but I have no desire to get closer. I remember the movie showing the 1500 people as gunned down in India to sustain power. I see this is God's people but the power is abused and God will sure not tolerate it any longer. Decide your future today to live with Christ the Lord in Heaven.
I know history of the Revolutionary War fought in 1776 when the British came over and attacked us and again in 1812 when Francis Scott Key wrote the ‘Star Spring 0 Banner ’
in the Baltimore Harbor. Yet, these are my people who do look and speak like us coming from the House of Israel via the 10 lost tribes that escaped the captivity of Assyria in Old Testament days and migrated Westward to settle the British Isles. These are my people and these are God's people. "If my people who were called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; Then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land”.2Chronicles7-14.
