As I was researching the Bible, I happened upon Ecclesiastes 9:12, "For man does not know his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net and as the birds that are caught in a snare, so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them." 

King Solomon was anointed by God, not only as king, but also with superb wisdom to judge Israel.  Many of his writings were prophetic, in that God anointed him with all of these gifts.  I can't say that Solomon didn't have some other purpose for writing the above passage, yet many scriptures have more than one purpose or implication, such as the Passover (the Lord passing over the firstborn of Israel / Christ, the sacrificial Lamb).  Ecclesiastes 9:12 could very well have alluded to the day and hour in which we live.  Man has fallen into more evil than ever before and much of the population is far from God.  The fact that we see millions of fish dying and thousands, if not millions of birds dying all over the world today, this could very well be a metaphor to the "snare and net" man has laid out for himself by his disobedience to God in these last days, which "falls suddenly upon them." 

The Bible also says, "For when they say, 'peace and safety,' then sudden destruction will come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape" I Thessalonians 5:3.  We are living in perilous times.  If you don't know the Lord, "today is the day of salvation" - before destruction falls.  Tomorrow could be too late.  If you aren't saved, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
