Divine Judgment by Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water!

Without question, the extremes of weather in the United States are breaking all records. On May 28th, the Winston-Salem Journal featured a story with the following headline: "Trend of deadly tornadoes puzzles experts." So far this season, there have been 1,191 tornadoes in the United States. These included such massive storms that entire towns were wiped off the face of the earth. In many areas of the Midwest, entire city blocks were destroyed as homes were ripped away to their foundations, and people were killed even as they scrambled to take shelter in their basements. Meteorologists have never seen so many tornadoes that rate in the F-3 to F-4 categories. Iowa and Missouri were especially hard-hit with widespread devastation and twenty-three deaths in one weekend.
During the first weekend in June, my wife and I were in the Seattle and Tacoma area of Washington, where we held services and baptized fifteen precious souls in the saving name of the Lord Jesus Christ. While we were there, horrendous storms struck our home state of Wisconsin, including our home city of Beaver Dam. The flooding was severe, and in the Wisconsin Dells area, the shore near the dam gave way and drained Lake Delton. Dream homes became nightmares of destruction as they were ripped from their foundations and crumbled before the very eyes of the owners. The 267 acre Lake Delton was drained of more than 600 million gallons of water within two hours, leaving nothing but a mud flat.
As we were returning home on the Amtrak train on Monday, June 9th, we ran into trouble as usual. The car we were riding in developed a bad wheel and had to be abandoned at Minot, North Dakota. We were herded into a coach car overnight, and at St. Paul, Minnesota, we were bussed the rest of the way, because railroad tracks were washed out. While going through this, I remembered our trip on Amtrak to Albany, New York, last October. The car we were riding in developed trouble and stopped the train twice in the middle of nowhere. We did make it through, but a train behind us did not and there was an explosion.
After we returned home, a second round of storms hit, and our hometown of Beaver Dam and the entire southern region of Wisconsin were severely flooded. Highways were shut down, and even Interstate 90-94 had two to five feet of water over portions of it and had to be closed. Farm fields were lakes, and in cities there was much structural damage. We at Last Trumpet Ministries suffered no damage at all to our homes or church even though our county was declared a federal disaster area.
Then, more rain came to the south of us, and water from the north moved into Iowa. Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was devastated and buried in water. Here let it be noted that Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is one of the largest producers of one of the components for implantable RFID chips, and that industry was flooded out. The dark, filthy water forced 24,000 people to evacuate and flee from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Nearly the entire state of Iowa was declared a federal disaster area. Vast amounts of crops planted in the fields known as the breadbasket of America were destroyed. Famine and shortages come in many forms, and it is time for people to repent of their wickedness.
In California, there have been many fires raging, as well as other disasters that seem to strike continually. Fires, heavy rains, mudslides, earthquakes, windstorms, and so on are continually rebuking that beautiful but wicked state. The Almighty is making his point and pressing the issue. There is so much more to come.
Nearly four hundred significant earthquakes of magnitude 4 and above have shaken our world within the past thirty days. Red China has still not recovered from the recent quake that left ten million people homeless! I am sure that Almighty God is not pleased with the Olympics that are to be held in Red China. The massive earthquake in Red China, which measured 8 on average of all recording stations, happened 88 days before the Olympics are scheduled to start on 8-8-08 at 8:08 P.M. The number eight is known as the number of new beginning. The present world will soon end and eternity will begin. It is also interesting to note that on June 2nd, 2008, a massive fire swept through Universal Studios at Universal, California. The massive fire was fought by 490 firefighters but swept through and completely destroyed the movie set of "Back to the Future." Thick black smoke rose thousands of feet into the air as "Back to the Future" was destroyed. Is this an ominous reminder that the future of our nation and world is reserved unto the wrath of God? It is time for all people everywhere to repent!
