An epidemic of Dengue fever has infected approximately 1200 people in Hodeidah, Yemen, and 30 people have died.  Local residents of Hodeidah are demanding that the Minister of Health be dismissed for his total disregard of the outbreak and his failure to take measures to contain the disease.  The disease is spread by mosquito bites.

Medical teams that have been asked to assess the disease outbreak in Hodeidah are threatening to suspend their activities for lack of payment.  Officials of the Health Ministry fear cases will mount in the poorest neighborhoods of Hodeidah due to poor sanitation in that district and malnutrition.  The al-Thawra Hospital in Hodeidah registered over 50 new cases in less than a week, demonstrating about 10 cases per day are surfacing since last Monday.

There are so many disease outbreaks throughout the world and within the animal kingdom, I am weeks behind reporting the incidents.  Jesus said these events would signal His return, "Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places" Matthew 24:7.  Half of Africa is at war, Muslims attacking Christians; the Middle East is at war - all the surrounding nations are against Israel; Barack Obama has challenged China with his new adventure in Australia and the Asian sea; Russia has threatened anyone who tries to stop Iran from developing nuclear power (actually weapons); Syria has been gunning down the citizens for protesting their oppressive dictatorial leader; Israel is "backed against the wall" with Iran's nuclear capabilities and a preemptive strike against Iran is imminent.  This is just the tip of the iceberg.  Can the world be in much more chaos, other than all out global warfare?  Asia, Africa, China and North Korea are experiencing famine, just to name a few.  Major earthquakes are rocking the world on a weekly basis (average) - unlike anything ever before in recorded history. 

If you aren't ready to face God and step into eternity, my friend, now is the time to pray and read the Word of God.  It is all there, right before our eyes.  The ancient prophets wrote about the time we are living in right now and as you read the pages of God's Holy Word, you can see prophecies given thousands of years ago unfold before your eyes. 

"The earth will mourn and everyone in it will languish, with the bests of the field, the fowls of heaven, yes, even the fishes will be taken away" Hosea 4:3.  Beasts, birds and fish are dying in mass numbers throughout the earth unlike anything ever recorded throughout history, and Hosea saw this happening over 2,700 years before our time.  I haven't even touched on the global economic crisis, which the Bible also records (Ezekiel 7:19).  If you aren't saved, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
