Commentary:  Mammals, beasts, birds and fish are dying all over the world in record numbers, but this has been foretold in the Bible.  "The land will mourn and all who dwells in it will languish, with the beasts of the field, the fowls of heaven, yes, the fishes of the sea will also be taken away" Hosea 4:3.  We are nearing the end of our existence on this earth, as we know it.  A time of great tribulation such as the world has never seen before, or ever shall see, is coming shortly on this earth (Matthew 24:21).  There is a way to escape it and that is to repent, accept Jesus's death as the penalty for our sins, and follow the teachings of Jesus the Savior.  The Bible tells us that He will deliver us from the wrath of God to come, "...wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivered us from the wrath to come" 1 Thessalonians 1:10.  If you want more information, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
