A heavy hailstorm hit southeastern France last Sunday destroying the vineyards of Cotes-de-Provence and Coteaux-Varios, around the villages of Pignans, Carnoules, Flassans-sur-Issole, Carces, Besse-sur-Issole, Brignoles, Correns, Cotignac, and Le Val et Montfort-sur-Argens.  The hail was so violent that it destroyed entire harvests for this year, next year and possibly into 2014.  Local mayors have asked for a state of natural catastrophe to be declared.

According to Bible prophecy, there will be more severe storms with hail, as we near the return of the Lord.  "Behold, the Lord has a mighty strong tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall He cast down to earth with His hand" Isaiah 28:2.  When the Lord is angry because of man's rebellion and sinfulness, He brings storms upon the earth.  "The Lord shall cause His glorious voice to be heard and will show the lightning of his arm, with the indignation of His anger and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, tempest and hailstones" Isaiah 30:30  Jesus said these would be signs of His return, "There will be great earthquakes in various places, famines, pestilences and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven" Luke 21:11.  Are you prepared to step into eternity and stand before the Lord when He returns to bring judgment on the earth?  If not, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
