    Totally suspicious. Mom in hospital 3 days prior due to other reasons. Father in hospital, boy alone with sister and marks found on neck and food object block oesophagus. Seems like murder

    Yes brother, they will be safe from eternal death. Safety in the world is not a real safety. Everyone has to depart one day.

    My request to everyone begin the day with prayer. Give thanks to god in all circumstances pray without ceasing This is the will of God in Jesus Christ. We cannot question God why because god's thoughts are not ours. His ways are not ours. God looked around and he was in need of an angel in his garden. Praise be to his name.

    India needs to educate and train people to perform CPR. If timely CPR is provided life can be saved. Here in UK there are cases too. But either family or any random person who sees it perform CPR. Our politicians. need to stop concentrating on corruption and start implementing compulsory training. Awareness and prevent many deaths

    Nearer to following times? Matthew 24:40-41 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition 40 Then two shall be in the field: one shall be taken, and one shall be left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill: one shall be taken, and one shall be left.
