The longest river in China, the Yangtze River, turned a deep blood red a few weeks ago and officials said they do not know why.  Residents first noticed the change on September 6, 2012. 

Environmental officials have said they suspect pollution, but that was not determined.  Emily Stanley, a professor of limnology at the University of Wisconsin, said that a natural explanation for red water is color-producing microorganisms, but that can likely be ruled out.  "When water turns red, the thing a lot of people think of is 'red tide,'" Stanley told Life's Little Mysteries, "but the algae that causes red tide is a marine group and not a fresh water group, so it's highly, highly unlikely that this is a red tide related phenomenon."

Regardless of the reason, the Bible says water will be turned to blood in the last days.  This has been happening frequently during the last several years, which I believe bears out the fact that we are living in the last days.  John the Revelator had visions of the last days and he said, "The second angel poured out his vial upon the sea and it became as the blood of a dead man and every living soul died in the sea" Revelation 16:3. 

Not only have we spotted red tide more frequently throughout the world, but fresh water rivers have turned blood red also.  This occurred in a Texas lake only last summer as well.  The Word of God doesn't tell us that "every living soul died immediately," it says, "every living soul died in the sea."  This could happen over the course of months or years and what we are seeing happening throughout the world with mass fish, dolphin and whale deaths is no coincidence, my friend. 

There are many Bible prophecies being fulfilled today, which let us know in no uncertain terms that we are living in the last days.  You need only surf this page to find many articles demonstrating the fulfillment of prophecy right before our eyes. 

Are you ready for the return of the Lord?  He will return for His people just before the great tribulation falls upon the whole earth (1 Thessalonians 1:10 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).  If you aren't ready, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  Salvation is simple - it's only a prayer away.  God bless you.
