The Bhopal-based High Security Animal Disease Laboratory (HSADL) revealed that crows are dying in the Gaya district because of bird flu.  According to reports, crows are continuing to die across the state.  Hundreds of crows have died in Bihar in the last six weeks in Gaya, Banka, Nawada, Jamui, Bhahagalpur, Munger, and Aurangabad.  The Animal Husbandry Department in Bihar has asked people not to touch dead crows.  They advertised in news ads alerting people to keep away from crows.  Last month, Jharkhand reported similar mass deaths of crows. 

Reports of bird flu have popped up all over Southeast Asia and some other countries.  As I remember, there are about twenty countries affected by the bird flu (H5N1) virus; there is an earlier post regarding the numbers.  This is a pestilence that isn't going away and, according to Bible prophecy, it will most likely get worse.  Jesus said,  "Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places" Matthew 24:7.  Jesus told His disciples that "There will be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever will be" Matthew 24:21.  Since all Bible prophecies come to pass and hundreds of them have been accurate, without fail, we have to know that such pestilences spoken of by Jesus will even be worse than the bubonic plague which killed 100,000,000 from 1338 - 1351; that's only a 13-year period!  Jesus said the tribulation that is coming on the earth will be worse than anything to date.  I'm not troubled though, because the Bible tells us that "God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ" 1 Thessalonians 5:9.  The Bible said that Jesus will take His people out of the earth (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) and other scriptures, such as 1 Thessalonians 5:9, point to the fact that we will be taken from the earth before God's wrath is poured out.  In fact, an in depth study of the Word of God and the prophetic teachings of Perry Stone and John Fenn have convinced me that the Lord will rapture the saints from the earth before the seven-year tribulation period begins.  If you want to escape what's coming, but you haven't received the Lord Jesus as your Savior, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
