Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
Like has always happened, and will continue to happen. It’s a certain amount of time, filled with the normal day to day activities of earth and man, must pass before He comes. No mention of an uptick of said events, just that these things must pass.
They hate life, and God's creation.
A nice, clean small nuclear bomb would destroy a lot of the swarm and provide one helluva sky show for the folks below, far below or out of sight.
The size of a city? Well what are we talking about here? A city the size of Cleveland or New York City?
Not if the government actually gives the people aid that is sent to them instead of shoving it in warehouses and pretending they didn’t get anything.
Get out the fondue and the chocolate
DDT would be useful.
Various African media outlets have reports on parts of Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia being affected/afflicted.
Sauteed in a bit of garlic and butter, they are pretty good. I also enjoyed them in survival school.
I check it sometimes to chuckle. They have been reporting doom since they were founded.
