More severe weather.

On Tuesday, up to a dozen tornadoes ripped through the Dallas, Texas area, injuring 17 people, damaging 650 homes and another 300 structures, and throwing 7-ton tractor-trailers around like toys.  At the international airport, more than 100 planes were damaged, grounding 500 flights on Wednesday.  Thousands were left without power (Reuters, April 4, 2012; USA Today, April 4, 2012). 2012 has already seen about double the number of tornadoes of a typical year in this country.

Meanwhile, severe drought and subsequent famine continue in the Horn of Africa, where more than a million children are at risk of malnutrition.  Hundreds of thousands have already died, and “millions of people are on the threshold of a major crisis.”  OXFAM says that “drought, high food prices, severe poverty and regional conflict are causing the crisis.” Without immediate international aid to the region, the situation will become much worse (OneNewsNow.com, March 29, 2012; BBC, March 8, 2012).

Bible prophecy foretells increasingly severe weather as the end of the age approaches (Matthew 24:7; Mark 13:8; Luke 21:11; Revelation 6:3-8).  God will allow these events in order to draw humanity’s attention to the fact that the way of man will NOT bring peace, safety or true happiness.  For more information on weather events that will continue to make headlines, review our free booklet, Who Controls the Weather?
