WorldNetDaily: Cities in eastern U.S. hit by power outages
Officials say that "it's not terrorism." But it does point out three things:

1. The North American power grid is entirely too vulnerable to this kind of disruption. All it took was one transformer to get knocked out by--well, we don't even know at this hour. (The report of fires in the Bronx and Brooklyn is inaccurate; ConEd shut down their boilers, and those boilers often spew black smoke when they do that.) As I said--one transformer gets knocked out, and several cities in the USA and Canada suffer for it.

2. "It's not terrorism" is not enough of an assurance in this age. And you can expect this sort of thing to happen again and again. Indeed, someday the Beast [Revelation 13], whoever he might be, might set something like this up just to make the point that he "need[s] wider powers" to keep such things from happening.

3. God's economy, whether Millennial or eternal, will not depend on the puny efforts of man. When God builds something, it's perfect. When man builds something, anything that can go wrong, often does.::Submitted for your beginning of sorrows [Matthew 24:7] files.
