Are Two Plagues At A Time An Accident Of Nature Or A Divine Sign

Will increased earthquakes be next?

If you think plagues are incidental 
to chance and not acts of God, it
must be remembered that, at the
least, God knew they were going 
to happen and didn't stop them.

No sooner had the world realized 
the seriousness of the plague in 
China than another plague burst 
forth in Africa ... Locusts

This from Associated Press
Locust swarms in Africa are 
worst in decades



KATITIKA, Kenya (AP) — The hum of millions of locusts on the move is broken by the screams of farmers and the clanging of pots and pans. But their noise-making does little to stop the voracious insects from feasting on their crops in this rural community.
The worst outbreak of desert locusts in Kenya in 70 
years has seen hundreds of millions of the bugs 
swarm into the East African nation from Somalia 
and Ethiopia. Those two countries have not had 
an infestation like this in a quarter-century, 
destroying farmland and threatening an already 
vulnerable region with devastating hunger.
“Even cows are wondering what is happening,” 
said Ndunda Makanga, who spent hours Friday 
trying to chase the locusts from his farm. “Corn, 
sorghum, cowpeas, they have eaten everything.”
When rains arrive in March and bring new 
vegetation across much of the region, the 
numbers of the fast-breeding locusts could 
grow 500 times before drier weather in June 
curbs their spread, the United Nations says.
“We must act immediately,” said David 
Phiri of the U.N. Food and Agricultural 
Organization, as donors huddled in Kenya’s 
capital, Nairobi, a three-hour drive away.
About $70 million is needed to step up 
aerial pesticide spraying, the only effective 
way to combat them, the U.N. says. That 
won’t be easy, especially in Somalia, where 
parts of the country are in the grip of the 
al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab extremist group.
And this from another blogger. RB
Billions of locusts are eating everything in sight in 
east Africa right now, and every single day many 
more farms are being completely wiped out. 
Unfortunately, are telling us that what we have
seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg. 
In fact, if extreme measures are not implemented
immediately, authorities are claiming that this
locust plague could literally get “500 times” worse
in a few months.  But it is difficult to imagine
conditions getting any worse than they are at this
moment.  Ravenous locust swarms that are “the 
size of cities” are consuming crops at a 
staggering pace, and this could potentially cause
famine on the African continent that is unlike
anything we have ever seen before.

"If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my peopleIf my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 1 Chron. 7:13-14.                                                                               
God's Formula for Spiritual Revival:
Humble ourselves, Pray/Repent, Seek God's will, Turn from sin to walk with God, Then God answers with personal forgiveness and national Healing. RB
