KING JESUS IS COMING FOR US ANY TIME NOW. THE RAPTURE. BE PREPARED TO GO.
CALCASIEU PARISH, LA (KPLC) -
Just as quickly as they swarmed Wednesday night, so did the swarm of social media posts and pictures of termites.The Lake Charles Racquet Club was a hotspot for swarming termites in the Lake Area."I
came in this morning around 8 o'clock to teach my first lesson and
there were, what appeared to be dead termites, all over the court," said
Bobby Walker, an instructor at the club. While the morning
after for those termites wasn't so promising, swarming termites have
become a norm, usually peaking during the spring season as one Lake
Charles resident knows from experience."They come every year and
we can tell when they come," said Lake Charles resident, Angela Reeves.
"They start swarming the lights outside of the house so we immediately
turn off all the lights in our house because we have canisters in the
ceiling and they come through." Though a nuisance, she said the bugs don't worry her too much. "They
go away after a certain amount of time and they only last like that
about a week. I really don't give it too much concern than that," Reeves
said. Keith Hawkins, Beauregard LSU AgCenter County Agent, said the termites pose no direct threat to humans. "Not
physically ... the real danger the termites will be weakening the
structure and maybe the failure of that structure and hurt somebody,"
Hawkins said.Which is why self inspection and treatment is the best answer if dealing with termites in the home. "Any
licensed exterminator can help out, I've done both with my house ...
I've used an exterminator for treatment but I try to self treat just to
save a little money," he said.

Thank you, Your Majesty, for graciously hosting us under your roof.
Your Majesty, thank you for inspiring the Middle East with responsibility and hope.
Ladies and Gentleman,
History is made of biographies of men and
women who failed to forecast the future. We were born in the age of
agriculture, and reborn in the age of science.This new age changed our agenda and our lives.
Depending on land divided people. Borders were marked and armies were
built to defend them. The yields of the land hung on the travail of
farmers, and the grace of heaven that blessed us with rain or punished
us with drought.
The yields were limited.Science is borderless, and its achievements are limitless. Armies cannot control science. Police cannot arrest innovation. Globality and isolation do not go together. Modern agriculture is cultivated with computers, rather than with ploughs. Sciences enables us to make three drops of water from one drop.Israel’s shortage of soil and rain has created an agriculture based on hi-tech. Israel is sharing its experience with many other countries and is willing to share it with its neighbors as well. Israel is moved by developments, not just by events.Looking at the developments in the Middle East today, it is blessed with a young generation, one of the youngest in the world. 99 million of its inhabitants are already online. The young generation uses modern tools to enter the new age.Friends, the Arab Spring voiced by so many youngsters may become an opportunity for jobs and progress. The age of science calls for economic cooperation, educational exchanges, and scientific collaboration. It provides equal opportunities for young and old, and equal rights for women.Despite the many hurdles on the way to peace, we must never lose sight of the positive developments in our region. Egypt and Israel made peace. Jordan and Israel made peace. These agreements stand the test of time.We extend our hand in peace to all countries in the Middle East.There is no country, no religion, which we consider as enemies. The only enemies are the enemies of peace. The Iranian people are not our enemies. It is the Iranian regime’s policy which is a threat to us all.Our region, and the whole world, cannot accept this brutal regime’s hegemonic ambitions. And the international community cannot tolerate brutal threatening weapons as a norm for the rest of the world.Friends, we and our Palestinian neighbors must return to negotiations as soon as possible and bring peace. President Abbas, you are our partner and we are yours. You share our hopes and efforts for peace, and we share yours. We can and should make the breakthrough. We should not permit the hurdles to overcome us. History will judge us not by the process of negotiations, but by its outcome. The today obstacles will pale in the light of peace.

The “Arab Peace Initiative” is a meaningful
change and a strategic opportunity. It replaces the strategies of war
with the wisdom of peace.
We must depart from the skepticism that claims that war is inevitable.
War is not inevitable. Peace is inevitable.We appreciate the presence of the American
Secretary of State John Kerry at this gathering. Secretary Kerry brings
with him an impressive momentum and desire to contribute to the
completion of the peace process. It will be matched with an imaginative
economic plan. President Obama, while visiting our region, offered a new
opening for the peace prospect. Dear John, I know that all sides can
count on your determination.The peace process already has a beginning. We
have agreed on a common ground to complete it. A two state solution. A
Jewish state — Israel — and an Arab state — Palestine. Living side by
side in peace, dignity and freedom.Friends, we Israelis and Palestinians are
aware that peace is first and foremost for us and depends upon us. I
know from experience how difficult these decisions are to make, on both
sides. But this is the time.Our leaders must say yes to a future of peace.
Our leaders must overcome the difficulties and
the dangers, and lead their peoples to a better tomorrow. What holds
back the renewal of the peace negotiations are some gaps in the bridge
between the beginning and the conclusion. Knowing very well the nature
of the missing link, I am convinced that this gap can be bridged.Ladies and Gentlemen, there is still an open
wound on the map and this is the terrible bloodshed in Syria. Secretary
Kerry is currently trying to bring an end to this tragedy. Israel is not
intervening in the Syrian crisis. We support the Secretary’s efforts to
bring an end to the violence. We are silent, but not indifferent. There
is a need to lower the flames.Ladies and Gentleman, the potential in our
region is remarkable. The attempts to release this potential are worthy
and needed. We welcome the efforts of “Breaking the Impasse” initiative.The fact that hundreds of business leaders
from both sides are joining hands to promote the two-state solution and
to emphasize the urgency in reaching that solution is an important
development. These people can attest to how valuable peace is for
economic prospective. Peace should be made between people, not just
between governments.Friends, I am here to express the hope and
desire of the Israeli people to bring an end to the conflict and a
beginning to a peaceful new age. I hope that this forum will voice a
timely call against skepticism. I pray that it will allow for tomorrow’s
horizon to shine bright. A horizon that will illuminate the fruits of
freedom, science and progress.Let us cast away the divides and suspicions of
the past as a future of harmony awaits. We are still writing the
biography of the unknown future.My friends, it must be a future of peace.Thank you.
