Associated Press: London - Rescuers in Scotland say they have guided 44 pilot whales stranded in an estuary back to sea, but 25 other whales from the pod did not survive the incident and died. Many of the animals died overnight after the pod of whales became stranded at the Kyle of Durness in Scotland's far north at low tide on Friday. The British Divers Marine Life Rescue said many of the whales had been left on their sides on top of each other, or upside down so they were breathing in sand. A team of rescuers refloated some of the whales using inflatable pontoons as the water returned. It said Saturday that postmortem examinations would be carried out to determine what caused the stranding and the deaths.
Commentary: The world is languishing because of the sins of men. The Bible tells us that this is what happened when the children of Israel sinned and disobeyed God; "The land is defiled, therefore, I visit the iniquity on it and the land itself vomits out her inhabitants" Leviticus 18:25. Much later, the prophet Hosea spoke of how the inhabitants of the world will languish in the last days, because of the sins of man, "The land will mourn and everyone that dwells in it will languish, with the beasts of the field and the fowls of heaven, yes, even the fishes of the sea will be taken away" Hosea 4:3. Wake up people; the very animals are suffering, languishing and even committing suicide because of the sins of man. Look around you. Children are being kidnapped, raped, murdered; I have read twice recently where women baked their own children in microwave ovens - yes - roasted alive!! We are living in a very sin sick world. All nations are rising up against Israel. If you just read the Word of God, you will read about everything you see around you right now, which the Bible says are signs of the very last days before the return of Christ. He could return at any moment! Are you ready for His return? Will you enter into heaven, into his glory forever, or will you burn in hell forever and forever (Psalm 9:17 and Mark 9:45). If you aren't saved, I want to invite you to visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.
