      Our Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon.
      Matthew 24:7-14
      7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
      8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
      9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
      10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
      11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
      12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
      13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
      14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
      Everything written is happening as you read.
      Revelation 12:1-2
      1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
      2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
      This sign has already appeared in the sky as described in the Bible, this is a warning, the wrath of The Lord is about to be unleashed upon all disobedience. Time is over, repent of your sins, the only way to salvation is Jesus Christ, trust Him have faith in Him.
      We are going to be taken up to The Lord.
      Woe to the nuclear families separated at the time of separation.

      Daniel9:26-27
      26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.
      27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. ”

    You can tell the fire chief does not want to deal with the reporter asking multiple questions. He tried to push his way in twice before the chief finished talking, I'm glad he shut him down. He gave other reporters a chance to ask questions and then he still disrespected the chief by one more question.. What a terrible reporter.

    Damnit man now i gotta check on my boys. Im from sterling and spent 28 years there. I know that street very well. Hope it wasnt any of my buddies and RIP to who lost their life. Friend or not. This same exact thing happened here in Pa where i live last year. A water company struck a gasline an the employee never reported it. The next day the house right infront of where they were digging called the gas company for a gas leak. They rang the doorbell which caused an explosion. Blew the house apart and the entire roof landed across the street. A elderly lady died and her son was severely burned. Gas leaks are seriously terrifying.

No...just plain rude in trying to dominate that entire press briefing, only relinquishing his control over it when pretty much ordered to by the fireman trying to run it to let others trying to ask questions as well. Rude clod, NOT a good look for whatever channel (FOX 5?) he represents...
