The Animals Are
Dying
By Carl

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. Hosea
4:1-3
It all seemingly began
around midnight
on December 31, 2010 – 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.
Death is always tragic,
whether it happens to people or to animals. 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 2 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 2 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. A link in
the web site I have listed at the end of this article records 133 separate mass
die-off events that occurred during 2011.
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. We are not talking
about 133 dead animals, we are 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 web site 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
proportion. 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 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 are a vital force in the control on
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 7 year period
of 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.
