Thousands of starfish washed up dead in Lincolnshire.  Photographer Simon Peck estimated there were about 4,000 starfish on Cleethorpes beach.  A similar incident happened about this time last year, reported Mail Online.

The media reported that mass strandings have happened in the past, as they generally do when there are mass animal, bird or fish deaths; nevertheless, I did my own research.  I am skeptical of the "Oh well - it's normal" attitude of news reporters every time these mass die-offs happen in recent years.  We haven't heard of such mass deaths, as we are seeing in the last couple of years. 

I went "fishing" on the net and found echinoblog.blogspot.com, hosted by a (neutral) invertebrate zoologist/marine biologist, ChrisM (username).  It just so happens that he posted comments about the starfish die-offs on his website and I wasn't in the least surprised by what he wrote.  He had this to say (excerpts):

Various news sources, including the Times Online and the BBC have reported massive die-offs of the common European Asterias rubens (Asteriidae, Forcipulatida) along the east Kent coast numbering in the thousands of individuals.  Several multi-tiered explanations have been offered, including:  * killed by fishermen dredging the bottom for shellfish.  * Being dislodged and rendered ashore by extreme storms and high tides. I've seen Pisaster mass die-offs in California following storms...but never to this degree.

Just as I thought, "never to this degree."  Starfish die at times due to various reasons, but the mass die-offs occurring over the last couple of years are astronomical, with 50,000 washing ashore in Ireland in November 2012.  The fact that so many fish, birds and beasts of various species are dying all over the world in the last couple of years is nothing less than bizarre. 

There is actually an explanation, Bible prophecy.  The ancient prophets foretold of animal, bird and fish deaths,

"The land will mourn and everyone in it will languish, with the beasts of the field, the fowls of heaven, yes, the fishes of the sea will also be taken away" Hosea 4:3.

The prophet Hosea was referring to the last days in this passage.  We have arrived at that point and we are witnessing many of the events prophesied thousands of years ago.
