Goosebumps time: "Sephardic Jews were in Texas way before the Alamo was founded in 1718.." "The Mexican Inquisition forced Sephardic Jews to find refuge across the Rio Grande River and in south central Texas, New Mexico and Southern Colorado. They were fleeing the horrific and dehumanizing acts of forced conversions to the Catholic faith through what is called Autos de Fe and wearing of horrible vests called San Benitos. Barbaric acts perpetrated against them included the confiscation of all wealth, the kidnapping of their little children, forcing the first-born sons into Catholic monasteries, psychological as well as physical tortures, hangings, garroting, decapitations, and most predominantly death by hogueras (burning at the stake)."

Read the whole article at The Sephardic Awakening in America.

Luis, in the last paragraph there is reference to Cubans finding out they have Jewish blood and making aliyah. My husband's grandmother's last name was "Barrios". Tell your dad to try to listen to a Miami station 1080 a.m. on Wednesdays, 6:30-7:00 p.m., program in Spanish "Shema Israel". They talk about this a lot and will investigate last names. Unfortunately it's not online, you have to live in Miami to be able to get the station.

Recent news reports are beginning to paint a picture of a shelf, balcony, deck, cliff, etc. breaking away, often into water, i.e. the foundations being destroyed.  San Antonio sits on the Balcones Fault.  Lightening just struck and destroyed the balcony [Italian balcone, from Old Italian, scaffold, of Germanic origin.] in the church in Brownsville.  Watch for the concept.  It is interesting, especially in light of Tim Snodgrass' vision, the New Madrid area coming into play again and the West Coast heating up.  There as a 6.0 off the southern coast of Oregon today.

Odd how cartoons feature the idea of Jellystone, and people laugh, not recognizing it has happened before and could be preparing to do so again.

Ps 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
