Temperatures as low as -23C (-9F) have killed at least 90 people in the Ukraine.  Most of the country is under a thick frozen layer of ice, reported BBC News. 

Hundreds have been treated in hospitals, most of whom are homeless.  Can you imagine being homeless in that type of cold?  We need to pray for the poor and homeless who are outside in this weather, that God's people, as well as others who have so much, will reach out and help.   

Severe weather is hitting various parts of the world, including the United States.  Blizzards hit the southern United States on Christmas Day, with tornadoes hitting Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana, causing the deaths of two people.  Mississippi declared a state of emergency, reporting damaged homes, power outages and flooding. 

Tuesdays storms also contributed to a 21-car pile up, which shut Interstate 40 in downtown Oklahoma and caused power outages for tens of thousands of residents, according to Reuters. 

Isaiah, as well as other prophets, foretold of severe weather in the last days, "Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to earth with the hand" Isaiah 28:2. 

It is imperative to pray and check weather forecasts before venturing out.  What we are seeing now are the prophetic signs of the last days, which will increase in intensity.  These things precede the return of the Lord, according to numerous scriptures throughout the Bible, "The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked.  The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet" Nahum 1:3.
