Santiago, Chile:  An estimated 2,300 dead birds were found on beaches in Chile, officials reported.  Normally, about 15-20 dead birds are found over the course of a year, said Jose Luis Britos, an environment professor and director of the Museum of Natural History of San Antonio, Chile. 

Peru:  Peruvian authorities reported more than 5,000 dead birds last month due to warm coastal waters.  The warm water has caused fish, such as sardines that live near the surface, to either leave the area, or swim into deeper water.  As a result, pelicans and other birds that feed from the surface of the water died of starvation. 

The Word of God says this will happen in the last days, "The land will mourn and everyone who lives in it will languish, with the bests of the field, the fowls of heaven, yes, the fishes of the sea will also be taken away" Hosea 4:3.  The Word of God tells us in Hosea 4 that the earth will "languish" because of the sins of man, caused by the spiritual deterioration of man.  Most people do not serve the Lord, or even acknowledge the Living God of the Bible.  Therefore, the wrath of God is going to fall very heavy on the earth in the last days.  This chastisement is a warning to the world that people need to repent, receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior and turn from wickedness and serve the Lord.  Jesus said, "When these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near" Luke 21:28.  The Lord will take His people from this earth before the great tribulation period and the wrath of God is poured out.  The Bible also says, "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.  If you aren't prepared to face God and give an account of what you have done in this life, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
