All but four of the 123 dolphins that washed up on Texas beaches were dead.  The few that turned up alive, died a short time later, said Blair Mase, the southeast marine mammal stranding network coordinator for NOAA Fisheries.  Officials called this an "unusual mortality event."  The deaths occurred from November through March 2012, a four-month timeframe, although this number is usually a year's mortality rate. 

The Texas coast was plagued with a toxic algae bloom called "red tide" last year, which lasted unusually long, reported Huffington Post.  However, some of the dolphins that recently washed up were underweight, which is generally not indicative of the "red tide" deaths. 

The reports of mass fish and mammal deaths in the oceans and lakes have consistently flooded the media throughout the world since late 2010, to the point there is never enough time to report all of the incidents.  The deaths will continue, according to Bible prophecy, "The land will mourn and everyone who dwells in it will languish, with the beasts of the field, the fowls of heaven, yes, even the fishes of the sea will be taken away" Hosea 4:3. 

For all intents and purposes, the media could be reporting how the oceans and streams are overflowing with an abundance of fish, but they are not, and these events were foretold in the scriptures thousands of years ago.  These unusual deaths are just a prelude to the great tribulation that will befall the earth due to the sins of man.  Our blessed hope is the return of the Lord for His people, who will not have to endure the wrath of God along with the wicked during the tribulation period.

 "Be followers of God, as dear children and walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave Himself for us, as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor.  As is becoming to saints, let not fornication, all uncleanness, covetousness, let it not be once named among you; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not edifying, but rather give thanks.  Know this, no whoremonger, unclean person, covetous man who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.  Let no man deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God will come upon the children of disobedience" Ephesians 5:1-6. 

The Book of Revelation describes the horror that will befall the wicked.  Nevertheless, God will spare His people from the wrath soon 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.
