One of the most
spectacular
signs that we
are in the very
last days of the
Age of Grace and
that the Rapture
of the church is
going to take
place at any
moment has been
the fulfillment
of Hosea 4:1-3:
“Hear the word
of the Lord, ye
children of
Israel: for the
Lord hath a
controversy with
the inhabitants
of the land,
because there is
no truth, nor
mercy, nor
knowledge of God
in the land.
By
swearing, and
lying, and
killing, and
stealing, and
committing
adultery, they
break out, and
blood toucheth
blood.
Therefore
shall the land
mourn, and every
one that
dwelleth therein
shall languish,
with the beasts
of the field,
and with the
fowls of heaven;
yea, the fishes
of the sea also
shall be taken
away.”
It all seemingly
began around
midnight on
December 31,
2010 thru
January 1, 2011
when over 5,000
red-winged
blackbirds and
starlings fell
out of the sky
in Beebe,
Arkansas. It
happened in an
instant and the
birds were dead
by the time they
hit the ground.
In the days that
followed there
were a handful
of similar
incidents. The
mainstream news
media took note
but their
reporting of
these events was
anything but
objective.
Instead,
reporters could
often barely
contain their
snickering as
they took
advantage of the
newly found
interest in
rapture mania
and many jokes
were made about
the biblically
prophesied end
times. When the
laughing
subsided and the
people lost
interest, the
media moved on
to other
seemingly more
important news.
However,
the beginning of
January, 2011,
was far from the
end of the
story.
This was not the
beginning of the
story either. It
was just the
point when we
first started to
notice an ever
accelerating
number of mass
animal die-offs.
About 10
days before
this, thousands
of crows,
pidgins, and
various other
birds also
literally fell
out of the sky
in Esperance, Australia.
Before
that, on November 2, 2010, thousands of sea birds were
found dead in
Tasmania,
Australia.
The mass deaths
of so many
animals, is
truly tragic.
Could this have
been a warning
to humanity from
God?
I believe
it was.
All of
these birds
certainly did
not die from any
known disease.
They fell
dead from the
sky in a moment,
as if God had
snapped His
fingers.
Animals are
innocent of the
sins of men. The
deaths of
thousands of
innocent birds
or any animal
for that matter,
because of the
sins of mankind;
is a huge
tragedy.
It is a
tragedy in much
the same way
that it was a
huge tragedy
when the Son of
God, who was
innocent of the
sins of mankind,
suffered and
died a horrible
death in our
place.
I only know of
two instances of
mass deaths of
animals in 2010.
My source for
these deaths
comes from the
website posted
at the bottom of
this article.
Even two
events are
tragic because
both events
involved
thousands of
living birds.
In the Days of
Noah everybody
had a good laugh
at the idiot
building the
boat and then
moved on with
their lives.
Nobody took it
seriously. The
same thing
happened in
early 2011.
Media coverage
biased as it
was,
stopped—when the
laughing
stopped.
Nevertheless,
animals
continued to
drop dead by the
thousands.
Imagine for a
moment how sad
these 133
incidents of
death truly are.
The total number
of dead birds
will never be
known.
There
were just too
many to count. I
am not talking
about 133 dead
animals; I am
talking about
133 separate
incidents of
mass deaths of
animals.
During 2012 the
number of
incidents
accelerated from
133 to 465 known
mass animal
die-offs that
occurred in 67
countries around
the world.
These
statistics are
staggering. When
I go to the link
in website below
for 2012 and
choose a month
at random, I
start reading
and am filled
with profound
sadness at what
happened.
Do these animals
know why their
lives had to be
forfeited?
Can they
comprehend how
unfair it is
that they must
pay such an
enormous penalty
for wrongs they
did not commit?
Why does
humanity
seemingly feel
no remorse for
what has
happened so far?
God is
shouting a
warning at us.
Why is it
that nobody
seems to hear?
According
to the Bible,
what is
happening now in
the animal
kingdom is about
to happen to
mankind.
The warning God
is shouting to
mankind became
deafening during
2013 when the
mass deaths of
animals
increased to 798
separate events
occurring in 93
countries. Our
mainstream media
has performed
super-human
feats of
ignoring this
worldwide
occurrence of
biblical
proportions. If
the current rate
of acceleration
is not cut short
all animal life
will soon become
extinct. Doesn’t
the Bible tell
us that a
similar fate
that awaits
mankind, where
no flesh will
survive on earth
unless God steps
in and shortens
the days of the
Tribulation?
As of February
6, 2014 there
have been 79
known animal
die-off events
occurring in 25
countries.
Apparently, the
rate of
acceleration
continues to
increase rather
than to
decrease.
Would it be
logical to
assume that the
mass death
events in the
animal kingdom
would be a sign
of the
approaching
apocalypse?
The book
of Revelation
tells us that
the horseman on
the black horse
in chapter 6
brings famine
upon the world
and that death
follows him.
We
certainly rely
on the animal
kingdom for
food. One could,
therefore,
assume that the
stage is being
set for this
rider.
Upon further
reflection we
see that the
entire world’s
food supply is
currently being
threatened by
extremes in
weather. Our
weather is more
than just
extreme—it is
downright
freakish.
Radiation
escaping from
the melted
reactors at
Fukushima
is spreading
around the
northern
hemisphere and
in the process
is contaminating
the world’s food
supply. We are
only now
beginning to
comprehend the
enormity of this
nuclear fallout.
Honey bees are
absolutely
necessary for
pollination of
food producing
plants and the
worldwide
population of
these bees has
been badly
decimated by an
unknown force in
recent years.
Bats play a
vital role in
the control of
insects that
attack our food
supplies. Bat
populations
throughout the
world have also
been severely
decimated by an
unknown source.
Perhaps the
stage is already
set and we are
just waiting for
the actors to
take their place
so that the show
can begin.
The cause of the
vast majority of
mass animal
die-offs is
unknown.
Skeptics attempt
to downplay the
significance of
a few of these
events by
putting forth
pitifully absurd
explanations,
claiming that
this kind of
carnage in
nature is
natural.
The Bible
makes no mention
as to whether or
not we would
know the
mechanism by
which God would
cause these
animals to die.
The Bible merely
says that
animals would
die in the last
days. They died.
Prophecy
fulfilled.
Have we become
so numb to the
preponderance of
end-time signs
that we no
longer see them,
or are we so
afraid of what
these signs
portend that we
refuse to see
them?
Anybody
who has not
accepted Jesus
as their Savior
should be
frightened.
Very,
very frightened.
There are some
who will
disagree, but
from everything
I have found
while studying
end time
scriptures, I am
convinced that
the Rapture of
the church will
occur before the
seven-year
Tribulation,
which the Bible
tells us will
occur before the
Second Coming of
our Lord.
If this
is true, and the
stage is now set
for the horsemen
of the
apocalypse to
ride forth, then
the Rapture of
the church will
truly happen at
any moment.
All we are
waiting for is
God’s perfect
timing. Those
who believe in
the promise
Jesus made to us
have no reason
to be afraid.
He has
used the analogy
of the Jewish
wedding
traditions to
assure us that
we are His and
that we have not
been appointed
to suffer God’s
wrath in
judgment.
Instead of
suffering, God
has bestowed
upon us the
privilege of
being witnesses
to the end of
the age.
I often
wonder if
departed friends
and family who
are now in
heaven will
someday be a
little envious
of those of us
who were here
and were able to
see in person
how it all
ended.
God is currently
shouting a
warning at
mankind and His
shouts are
growing
progressively
louder.
The
animals are
dying.
God’s
warning to us is
an example in
the animal
kingdom of what
will soon happen
to humanity.
