I have seen many reports of the killer
bees recently in Arizona and California. They are rapidly expanding their
domain. There are many other signs in
today's world that lead me to believe it is part of the chastisement. In
my studies of the Bible, I never cease to be amazed as to the parallels
of then and now. I believe that our chastisement will parallel the plagues
of Egypt in
Exodus 7-11. In fact the similarities are
amazing. See for yourself...
1. The first plague, Ex 7:14-24, water turned into
blood and made undrinkable. Isn't this happening now,
water pollution on a grand scale? Half of the water wells in
Santa Monica are now polluted by the newly formulated gasoline
in California, and were made 'undrinkable' (vs24).
That is just one example out of many. There is even talk of our polluting
whole oceans, a thought unthinkable just a decade or so ago. 2. The second, third, and fourth plagues, Ex 7:25-8:28,
frogs, gnats, and flies.
What about the oriental crab, the killer bees, and fire ants?
Different insects, bees and ants vs flies or gnats, and different
animals. It does not make
much difference. The important thing is, the plague is
here, and is caused
by lower animals and insects. 3. The fifth plague, Ex 9:1-7, pestilence.
Look at the millions of acres of farmland made useless by a
change in the weather all over the globe. In
1998 in Texas it was the heat, in California, too much rain
for too long.
If that continues, pestilence will follow shortly. The
truth is, that pestilence
is already here in many parts of the world. 4. The sixth plague, Ex 9:8-12, boils.
What else could this be but aids? 5. The seventh plague, Ex 9:13-34, hail.
Crop damage from freaky weather patterns, drenching rain in
many places, extreme flooding such as the Mississippi a few
years back. In August 1998 in China, flooding of the Yangzte
River has affected an estimated 240 million people. What about
the tornados in the U.S. which seem to be ripping through populated
areas more than in the past? How about hurricanes of record
power?
6. The eighth plague, Ex 10:1-20, locusts.
Hmmm, now where was that grasshopper invasion in 1998. It was
in some middle states and was the
worst ever seen.
7. The ninth plague, Ex 10:21-29, the three days
of darkness. This
appears to be the only one of the Egyptian plagues which has
not
materialized yet...YET! It certainly has been prophesized,
however, and
from many sources. It gives us something to look forward to.
8. The tenth and saddest plague, Ex 11:1-10,12:1-36, the death
of the
firstborn. Is this not the plague of abortion? There
have been over 30
million abortions in this country alone, since Roe Vs Wade,
wouldbe 'firstborn', unborn, and partial born. How does that number
compare with
all of the Egyptian firstborn who died in the tenth plague
of Exodus? Holy Scripture cannot be read like a book, as the parallels
in it would not be readily apparent and would be missed by most. It is
rather like a very large jigsaw puzzle. You take a piece from here and
match it with a piece from
there and soon you have an over all picture.
As the saying goes, "The New Testament lies hidden in the Old, and
the Old Testament is revealed in the New." It all ties together in
such a neat package that it is obvious the 50 or so writers had Divine
help.
Things written over 2000 years ago are happening before our very eyes.
What an exciting time we are living in.
So, how did we get into this mess? We made it for ourselves
by not listening
to GOD, and instead we listened to the little red guy at the beginning
of this file. We have no one to blame but ourselves. GOD and His Holy Scriptures
certainly tried to warn us, but we do not have the 'ears to hear'...

Feast of St. Dominic.
I do not normally express personal opinions, however I felt the parallels
in this file warranted them. Back
