WorldNetDaily: Quake, roaring sea, ... now pestilences And where, you ask? In the Indian Ocean, and along the shores of eleven different countries that felt the effects of the gigantic wave, called a tsunami, that swept over those shores over the weekend. Other accounts tell us that the count of the dead has reached 68,000 (that's six myriads and eight chilioi for my fellow Greek scholars) and will likely rise to ten myriads before it's all over.

Jesus warned us that such things would happen. More to the point, John the Revelator warned that war, economic depression (translated as "famine"), and pestilence (the pale horse; Greek chloros a sickly pale green, whence "chlorine") would kill off twenty-five percent of the people then living when the second, third, and fourth Seals break [Revelation 6:3-8]. Nor is this all, of course: recall the Sixth Trumpet, that will in its time kill one-third of the people remaining alive at that time.

And consider this: some commentators have already compared the death toll to the Flood of Noah [Genesis 6-8]. That's an exaggeration, of course, because that Flood killed all but eight people. In fact, the late tsunami is a taste--just a taste--of what is to come.
