Beginning of Sorrows

War

The Bible explicitly commands us not to kill. Yet the reasoning of man, influenced by Satan (the author of conflict), has led most to believe that war is and can be justified. The consequences of warfare are devastating and Christians should refuse to fight. True Christians seek peace and trust in God to protect them. AS the end nears and man moves further away from God, it is prophesied that war will become more pervasive.

Famine

The 3rd Seal of the Revelation 6 is famine. This has always been with us, but will increase in coverage and its ravaging effects. This will be one of the natural disasters that God uses to warn and get the attention of the modern house of Israel.

Pestilence / Disease

Pestilence is the 4th seal mentioned in the book of Revelation. It significantly follows the first three seals of religious deception, wars, and famine. The Bible foretells of disease ravishing the USA, its brother nations as well as many others around the world. The virulent strains and pandemics that we are now seeing could very well be in fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.

Great Tribulation

This will be a time like no other before it. There will be a religious and national persecution of both spiritual Israel and the modern physical descendants of the 12 tribes of Israel. This persecution is fifth seal of Revelation 6 and is referred to as the Great Tribulation.

Water Shortages Expected to Continue in SW US

by

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — One of the main reservoirs in the vast Colorado River water system that is struggling to serve the booming Southwest will get more water this year, but that won’t be enough to pull Lake Mead back from near-record lows.

Water managers, farmers and cities throughout the region have been closely watching the elevation at the reservoir behind Hoover Dam. It is at its lowest level since the dam was complete and the lake first was filled in the 1930s.

A drop to 1,075 would mean cuts in water deliveries to Arizona and Nevada.

Despite the additional water, Lake Mead is projected to remain near record lows at 1,083 feet in January – three feet higher than it was Wednesday. That’s because more water will be delivered to cities, farms, American Indian communities and Mexico than Lake Mead will get from Lake Powell.

Some water managers and users have been saving water for potential dry days or preparing for an expected water shortage in 2016. Bureau of Reclamation spokeswoman Rose Davis said officials still are running numbers that would show the percentage chance of cuts in 2016. Those figures are expected to be released later this month.

The entire Colorado River system supplies water to California, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and part of Mexico.
