Animal Die Offs A Sign of the End Times

Ezekiel 38:20 The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground.

Zephaniah 1

¹ The word of the LORD that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, during the reign of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah:

Judgment on the Whole Earth in the Day of the LORD

² “I will sweep away everything from the face of the earth,” declares the LORD.
³ “I will sweep away both man and beast; I will sweep away the birds in the sky
and the fish in the sea— and the idols that cause the wicked to stumble.”

Something interesting came to my attention in November of 2010, I started seeing reports of massive animal die offs. These consisted of aquatic, land and air. The numbers were so large that I couldn’t help but start following this disturbing trend, when such large numbers of earth's life die off something is happening.

Gulf red oil

Those familiar with biblical end times will see this as a sign of the coming of Christ. I always assumed that the catastrophes listed in revelations would be caused by a single event, for example a third of the fish in the oceans would be caused by a single event. Scriptures seem to point to a single event would cause each one of the catastrophes in the bible, but whether it is a single event or multiple events that fulfills prophecy, prophecy is being fulfilled none the less.

As the tribulation begins we see that 1/3 of the creatures on earth die.

Revelation 8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

Gulf oil spill the red oil looks like blood

⁸And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;⁹And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

Oil rig burning, a burning mountain?

^{Could this refer to the Gulf oil disaster? We have no way to know how much of the oil contaminated the worlds oceans. We do know that the currents have spread this poison around the globe and we have not yet felt the consequences of it. Many say that the in the Gulf of Mexico, the ocean's floor has ruptured due to this event and is spewing oil into the worlds oceans uncontrollably, and will continue to do so for decades.}

^{Or could it be something else or a combination of events?}

¹⁰And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and

it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;¹¹And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

Could this passage point to a radioactive event? The nuclear reactor in Russia was Chernobyl, this word means wormwood in Russian and the effects of the Russian event are still being felt world wide. Was that the beginning of the radiation fall out that covers the earth in poison?

Right now the nuclear reactors in Japan are melting down, there doesn't seem to be any way to stop them and Fukushima and the other reactors in Japan will rain radioactive particles down on the world for centuries to come. Radio active waste water is pouring into the ocean around Japan by the tons, the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breath has become poisonous to life. We are already seeing radioactive poisoning in our drinking water, food, milk and air that we breath. The effects of this will be gradual for life on earth but will none the less kill off a great portion of the world in the years to come. Radioactive particles are considered "hot" particles could this be the fire that rains down on the earth, destroying land, fresh water, salt water environments. Are we already seeing the beginning of the prophecies that will eventually come together during the tribulation?
