'Heavenly Signs III: U.S. Eagle Falls' Completes Trilogy
by Christina Mancuso - Nov 1, 2013


The author says, in the Bible, Christ said there would be signs in the heavens during the End-Times. Are there signs in the heavens for today's modern times? The Bible clearly answers that question, Gable believes. The author intends to show the heavenly sign of deception occurring during important rulings by the Supreme Court in this new work. Mr. Gable feels that the Supreme Court Justices believe they are above God's Law and must protect an individual's rights. Gable hopes his new work brings new insight and understanding of the United States and its potentially crumbling conditions. The author believes people have wondered why God would let the 9/11 attack occur in the United States. Gable states 'God's protective hand was removed after 9/11 and the subsequent 2001 stock market crash denotes His blessing being removed. This can be discerned by looking at the Biblical signs in the heavens.' Does judgment come to a nation that makes it lawful to sin in God's eyes? Gable believes these liberal laws are seen by God as abominations, but are said to preserve man's rights and freedoms. The author wants readers to learn what abominations have occurred gradually over time in America. Is the cup of iniquity becoming full? Gable says, 'The U.S. debt is directly proportional to the cup's fullness. If this nation doesn't turn from its wickedness and call upon God, then judgment will come. It is coming quickly and sooner than expected based upon heavenly signs. The magnificent comet and total eclipse which you see on the cover plays a major role between the heavens and on the earth.' Mel Gable says, 'As you read the book, plan to be surprised, astonished and stunned by God's Heavenly Signs. Do you know the 'Heavenly Signs' for God's judgment? If not, you need to purchase this book entitled: 'Heavenly Signs III.' It is recommended reading by those seeking knowledge about past, present and coming events in the U.S.' Book Information: 'Heavenly Signs III: U.S. Eagle Falls' Author: Mel Gable Publisher: WestBow Press ISBN: 978-1-49-080445-3 Published: September 2013 Pages: 128 Genre: Current Affairs About The Author: Mel Gable has written three books in the series 'Heavenly Signs.'
