Your country is desolate, Your cities are burned with fire – Isaiah 1:7
200 Structures burnt down & only 10% contained. Fire in New Mexico has been burning for over a month & is still unquenchable.
Factors to Consider:
(1) Drought: Takes 65,000 to 90 thousand gallons of water to put out 1 single structure fire. This water is our toilet water, shower water, drinking water…they are not using ocean water bc the salt from the ocean would damage the soil for generations & also the fires are inland, so it is costly to transport water.
(2) Heat: Makes the fires worse and increases the intensity of the same.
(3) Manpower: There is not enough to combat each fire developing every day.
(4) And finally, the 4th of July celebration is coming up. Tell me, do you think lighting fireworks is wise considering all of our resources are being spent on these fires? As it was in the time of Lot — they also celebrated. As it was in the time of Noah — they also celebrated.
You should not be celebrating…You should be dumping dirt on your heads & mourning. You should be dressed in sackcloth if not literally, figuratively. Distance yourself from the celebrators so come the hardships the Lord looks at you favorably & remembers your grief as it is now.
What am I doing? I’m preparing my ark… shouldn’t you be preparing yours also?
For goodness sake, wise up and repent!
