Thousands of fish dead in Wabash River, Illinois.
 CourierPress.com (exerpts):  Carmi, IL - Officials with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the Illinois EPA are investigating the source of a major fish kill along the Little Wabash River in White County.  Local sportsman Jack Emery of rural Carmi said he first started hearing about dead fish appearing in Little Wabash a few weeks ago.  However, in the past few days, the number of dead fish has exploded into thousands.  Witnesses are reporting dead fish floating in the Little Wabash from the Interstate 64 bridge downstream to the possum bridge south of Carmi.  The stretch of river where the kill has been noticed is around 30 miles.  Dead fish were also noted above and below the dam at Carmi.  Emery said that all species of fish are being found dead.  The kill does not appear to affect just fish with scales.  Catfish are also being found dead.  Maggie Carson, spokesperson for the Illinois EPA said this morning she is consulting with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources about the incident. 

Commentary:  There are numerous scriptures in the Bible which foretell of these catastrophic events that will plague the earth before the coming of Jesus, Yeshua the Messiah:  "The fishers will mourn and everyone who casts angles into the brooks will lament and those who spread nets on the waters will languish" Isaiah 19:8.  "The land will mourn and everyone who dwells in it will languish, with the beasts of the field and the fowls of heaven, and the fishes will also be taken away" Hosea 4:3.  We are living in the very last days, before the coming of the Lord.  These things will not wane, but they will, in fact, continue to worsen, until He returns to set up His kingdom and establish peace in the earth.  Are you saved and prepared to meet your Maker?  If not, I would like to invite you to the How Can I Be Saved page of this site.  There is peace and comfort in knowing your Savior.
