    Wow another one already? Mark 13:8-"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains." The realness of this is scary, soon all eyes will be open and none will dare deny the power of the living GOD.
