Commentary:  Among insects, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that mosquitoes cause about 200,000 illnesses per year and 30,000 deaths.  These trends will become far worse in the near future.  The Bible says, "I looked and beheld a pale (green in the original Greek) horse and the name of him who sat on the horse was Death, and hell followed with him.  Power was given to them over a fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword, with hunger, with death, and with the beasts of the earth" Revelation 6:8.  This will happen during the seven-year tribulation period, after God's people have been caught up to meet the Lord (1 Thessalonians 4:17).  This will be one part of God's wrath poured out on the ungodly who still inhabit the earth.  It will be a time of righteous judgment upon the wicked, who have refused to receive Jesus as their Savior during this time of grace we live in now.  This horrific time will soon come upon all the earth and the Word of God says, "Then will be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, nor ever will be" Matthew 24:21.  Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior?  He came down from heaven, was born among men, and died a "sinner's death" to pay the ransom for you and me, so we would not have to suffer the consequences of our sins.  We need only receive this free gift and surrender our lives to the Lord.  If you aren't saved and you want to escape God's wrath, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
