Riots in Vancouver

“Orthodox” 16th Century Representation of the “Apocalypse”

It is well known that many Canadians are really into hockey and the defeat of a hockey team actually caused riots last night and apparently into this morning:

Riots In Vancouver

ESPN – ‎16 June 201

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Angry, drunken fans ran wild Wednesday night after the Vancouver Canucks’ 4-0 loss to Boston in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, setting cars and garbage cans ablaze, smashing windows, showering giant TV screens with beer bottles and dancing atop overturned vehicles. Later, looters smashed windows and ran inside department stores.

Vancouver “embarrassed” over post-game rioting

CBS News 16 June 2011…

Police had closed the major bridges into downtown Vancouver during the height of the riot so people could not get into the heart of the city.

We in the Living Church of God have long believed that North Americans would see rioting again. And while the Vancouver rioting is somewhat absurd in my view, it simply shows that people (even Canadians) are capable of rioting and creating civil unrest.

What will happen in the USA when government austerity programs actually must be implemented? What will happen in Canada, the UK, and the rest of the Anglo-descended nations when food prices rise and there are actual food shortages? When famines and other disasters hit might not this trigger future civil unrest and looting in the USA and/or the rest of the Anglo-descended nations?

Riots and civil unrest are coming (even Europe will have more). The Vancouver incident shows that it does not even take any real major trigger to cause rioting.

To quote Jesus further, He also taught:

8…And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)

Riots are troubles. And so far this week I have reported about riots and/or protests in China, Greece, and now Canada. Plus there are still protests and civil unrest in Syria and other parts of the Middle East.

Look for more conflict and disasters. And probably this October (near the time of the Feast of Tabernacles), some report of famine, food shortages, and/or food inflation (cf. Revelation 6:5-6).
