Cold in South America Kills Millions of Fish

COGwriter

At least six million fish reportedly have been killed in Bolivia from the cold wave in South America (http://sify.com/news/cold-wave-kills-six-million-fish-in-bolivia-news-international-kielkdaieea.html). The cold wave is affecting much of the continent:

Unusually cold winter weather has hit Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivia, causing “millions of dead fish” in Bolivian rivers, officials said. ( http://www.upi.com/Top_News/International/2010/08/05/S-America-having-bitter-winter-weather/UPI-90551281041164)

Argentina Has Colder Winter Than Antartica (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-08-03/argentina-colder-than-antarctica-spurs-record-power-imports-shuts-plants.html)

There have been many human deaths in Peru attributed to the cold (Peru: 409 fatalities due to cold wave and pneumonia).

This contrasts to the heat problems in Russia:

Russia…this year high temperatures and a prolonged drought have sparked a rash of wildfires, turning swathes of the region into an inferno. (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/c263e754-a0b7-11df-badd-00144feabdc0.html)

I have reported about these problems in South America (Weather Disasters in South America, Kansas, China, and the Philippines) and Russia (Drought: Less Wheat in Russia, Europe, Australia, China, and Argentina) earlier. But thus far, things seem to have worsened in those regions.

But, they will likely recover. For while the end is soon, it is not yet (Matthew 24:6).

The weather situations around the world affect many things, including the economy, people’s lives, and the food supply. The fact that so much is happening now, may be consistent with certain end time prophecies.

LCG has long had a booklet of possibly related interest titled “Who Controls the Weather? ” that is available for those interested in more on the weather and Bible prophecy.

Jesus foretold on a time of natural disasters as “the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:7-8), but the Book of Revelation (16:8-11) tells of a time of even greater disturbances during “the Day of the Lord”. A time we are getting closer to.
