The Coming Crisis:  Dutch authorities were slaughtering thousands of chickens at a poultry farm in central Netherlands after an outbreak of a bird flu variety there, an agriculture ministry spokesman said.  Bird flu has been discovered at a poultry farm with some 47,000 chickens in Creil, in the central Flevoland province," Murco Mijnlieff said, adding it was believed to be an H7 low-pathogenic variety.  "The farm is being cleaned up and the chickens are being killed as a result of the outbreak," Mijnlieff told AFP.  The outbreak was discovered earlier this week when the farmer noticed a high number of chickens being ill and a lower egg production.  Tests were done, confirming bird flu, Mijnlieff said.  Three other farms in the area were being monitored and authorities have introduced a 3 kilometer (1.8 mile) radius transport ban on poultry, poultry eggs and poultry waste.  

My Comments:  Here is just another food source, among so very many, that are being destroyed all around the world.  There are more reported fish deaths and this has been going on since the beginning of the year, not to mention that tens of thousands of acres of crops destroyed in floods and storms throughout the US and the world.  People aren't realizing it yet, but the food supply is being critically diminished and bee colony die-offs are continuing at an alarming rate each year.  One third of our food supply relies on bee pollination.  Experts have no idea why the bees are dying (ABC News /Technology).  I can tell you why they are dying; I can tell you why we are experiencing record storms, record tornadoes, record floods, just about record breaking everything.  The Bible tells us that these things will take place before the coming of the Lord, "Nation will fight against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places" Matthew 24:7.  God's people will escape His wrath against the nations that forget God, "God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ" 1 Thessalonians 5:9.  "The heavens and earth which exist now, by the Word of God are kept in store, reserved unto fire until the judgment day and destruction of ungodly men" (Christians are not included in this judgment against "ungodly men") 2 Peter 3:7.
