City health authorities on Saturday alerted hospitals to watch for symptoms of a mysterious pneumonia believed to have afflicted a doctor from Singapore who visited New York. The man was taken off a flight from New York to Singapore on Saturday during a stopover in Germany, and is quarantined at a Frankfurt hospital. His two travel companions also were hospitalized. "He is a physician who cared for a patient with this illness in Singapore," said Sandra Mullin, spokeswoman for the New York City Department of Health. During a teleconference Saturday, top U.S. health officials said more than 150 cases have been reported worldwide of the so-called severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. The doctor who passed through New York was the first suspected case in Europe. No cases have so far been identified in the United States. In addition to the doctor from Singapore, a man traveling from Atlanta, Ga., to Canada is "reported to have developed some respiratory symptoms," said Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. The two major symptoms of this pneumonia are high fever accompanied by difficulty in breathing. The potentially fatal illness is believed to spread "person to person," said Gerberding, with an incubation period of between two and seven days. On Saturday, Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, director general of the Geneva-based World Health Organization, warned that the illness is becoming "a worldwide health threat." In New York, "we're sending out a broadcast alert to all hospitals to be on the lookout for any illness that could be suggestive of this illness," Mullin said. New York City has more than 70 hospitals. She said New York health authorities, working with the CDC and the WHO, were in the process of investigating the details of the case involving the Singapore doctor. He began to suffer symptoms while in New York, said Dr. Angela Wirtz, a health official in the German state of Hessen where he's being treated. The man had attended a recent conference in New York, but it was not immediately known exactly when he was in the city, the nature of the meeting or which airline he used, Mullin said. newsday.com

I've been thinking about this article and I've wondered how at a conference so many people who are supposedly up on Bible prophecy could think that this could be the 6th bowl of wrath! For one thing, they seem to all be "pre-trib" which would mean that they should be gone now if this is the 6th bowl. I haven't noticed any "rapture" yet! Maybe I should make some calls. Also according to my own belief's we won't be here for any of the out pouring of God's Wrath. And there cannot be any rapture until the mark of the beast has emerged and been forced on the world and the saints who refuse it be hunted down. And the mark of the beast is coming along but it's not ready yet. It's very close now. Where's the rebuilt Temple? And the sacrifices? Oh well. I think what happened is a reporter who talked to some people at the conference but who had no real understanding tried to write a catchy story. Now I want to attend a conference to see what is really being said!

I have been wondering about the latest developments in the world. I have always thought that the saints may have to "hold out" for 6 months or so when the mark comes. Lately I've been asking the Lord where is the "Ark" we can get on and ride out the danger. So many Christians are not ready. They have no clue about what's coming, resting so assured they will be raptured out before any trouble. They've been set up for the slaughter by the clever adversary with his deceptions. What an intelligence coup he's pulling off. Repeat a lie enough and people believe it's true. Pre-trib is so comforting. There has to be a watchman on the wall to shout a warning. I suppose now though that would be the Holy Spirit telling those who are listening what's coming. If there was a voice warning them they would not believe it. My friends don't even believe it. But I do get them flustered. The best "cop out" is when they say I don't know enough but it's what the pastor believes so I believe it too. Shut the door. It's too upsetting to believe that we might suffer.
