Nature's Stern Warning

Extreme temperatures,
Melting of glaciers, 
Rising sea level,
Wildfires,
Forests' obliteration,
Droughts,
Drying up of lakes and rivers,
Desertification, 
Hurricanes,
Storms,
Flooding, and
Landslides, 
Is the vocabulary Mother Nature uses to
Pen its stern warning to Man:

" Oh, you thoughtless being, mind your ways and revere 
my eternal laws of harmonious cooperation and coexistence,
otherwise, I would not be able to provide for your subsistence."

For more than two weeks, the temperatures in Greece have been around 
40 Celsius, sometimes, like today, it is 45.
During this period, wildfires are raging across the country. It comes on a day that 
Our firefighters are trying to contain more than eighty fires.

Gods wrath is upon us Demetrios. I believe we are heading toward God's return my friend. Some call it climate change I call it the sin of man. Man, many believe the time is at hand for the rapture and these are the birth pains of our Saviors return. I hope you are safe Demetrios our area near the Vermont and Canadian border we have had severe flooding for a month. There is destruction everywhere. God bless you my friend...

Unfortunately, people do not believe that "we are heading toward God's return " my friend. I know they are wrong and in a little while they would know they are wrong. Be blessed.

Sadly because of of mans sin God's judgement is upon the world. These events will take place because the bible says they will. Our only hope is Gods mercy in our prayers and the return of Christ to end the evil that is in this world and mans agenda of forming a New World Order, the traficking of children, the vaccine depopulation agenda, the extinction of humanity by these evil doers through the wars they create, the toxins in our food and air, the Big Pharma toxic medications, God will be here soon to save his people my friend...

God be with the firefighters; the fires will cause terrible destruction. We've had 18 straight days of 100+ degrees here in Texas and the heat index has soared to 115 to 120. We haven't had the fires yet. Wishing you well, my friend. Stay safe. Bill

In Greece, we had more than 60 fires a day during July. It seems there is a plan to burn the country. More than 200 Arconists have been arrested. In a few years, there will not be a single forest if this goes on. Thank you. Blessings!

I have been reading about temperatures in Greece and thinking of you my friend. Stay safe! A potent warning for the world to heed. Oh, you thoughtless being, mind your ways and revere, my eternal laws of harmonious cooperation and coexistence otherwise, unable would I be to provide for your subsistence... A FAVE poem, Demetrios.

I feel the moral obligation to write about the most important thing of our time: SURVIVAL! Observing the planet dying and the harmony of nature rapidly disappearing, I want to shout so everyone should hear, that we are in BIG TROUBLE! Thank you for listening, my noble friend, Vijay. We ought to raise our voices to save ourselves and the planet. I appreciate your FAVE. Who knows someone may listen too because of this. God bless you!
