LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Wildlife experts are trying to solve a mystery that evoked images of the apocalypse: Why did more than 3,000 red-winged blackbirds tumble from the Arkansas sky shortly before midnight on New Year's Eve?
...
Separately, some 100,000 fish died last week in the Arkansas River in the northwestern section of the state, the New York Daily News reports.
The drum fish were discovered Thursday across more than 20 miles of the river, fish and game officials announced Sunday.
End of Days in May? Christian group spreads wordSomehow it seems appropriate that the first signs of the beginning of the End Times should appear in Arkansas.

RALEIGH, N.C. – If there had been time, Marie Exley would have liked to start a family. Instead, the 32-year-old Army veteran has less than six months left, which she'll spend spreading a stark warning: Judgment Day is almost here.
Exley is part of a movement of Christians loosely organized by radio broadcasts and websites, independent of churches and convinced by their reading of the Bible that the end of the world will begin May 21, 2011.
...
In August, Exley left her home in Colorado Springs, Colo., to work with Oakland, Calif.-based Family Radio Worldwide, the independent Christian ministry whose leader, Harold Camping, has calculated the May 21 date based on his reading of the Bible.
...
Camping, 89, believes the Bible essentially functions as a cosmic calendar explaining exactly when various prophecies will be fulfilled.
The retired civil engineer said all his calculations come from close readings of the Bible, but that external events like the foundation of the state of Israel in 1948 are signs confirming the date.
"Beyond the shadow of a doubt, May 21 will be the date of the Rapture and the day of judgment," he said.
The doctrine known as the Rapture teaches that believers will be taken up to heaven, while everyone else will remain on earth for a period of torment, concluding with the end of time. Camping believes that will happen in October.
Maybe it's time to reschedule that summer vacation to spring!
All these doom and gloom prophets that say they are based on close readings of the Bible, never seem to have read the one important scripture: Act 1:7 He (Jesus) said to them, "It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own Authority;..."
ReplyDeleteWhen someone pinpoints a date in this manner they are in essence saying "I'm God." It seems to me that a big no no in the Ten Commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain.
I think the media should be covering you Patrick. Maybe when the report comes in on the birds it will be revealed that indeed the end is very near.
ReplyDeleteI think I will sleep ok tonight with that scenario.
I am interested in the birds very much.
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
