Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) is an island nation sitting off the southeast coast of India. Its government finally collapsed on July 10, which is the prophetic type of the Day of Atonement (7/10). There is little doubt that Sri Lanka has defaulted on its debt, although there has been no formal announcement of this yet. It appears that they are getting their Jubilee the hard way.

Dr. Stephen Jones has been writing blog posts since 2005 on a variety of topics from Bible Studies to World News, and he has been writing books since 1992. Dr. Jones' most important writings came after God brought him back into the full-time ministry in 1991. It is here that all his earlier years of searching the Scriptures began to come into clear focus. He combines a knowledge of the Old and New Testaments with a personal revelation of God that began and developed during the "wilderness" period of his life, which he often refers to as God's True Bible College...
