It has been a while since I've blogged last but lets see if I still have the skills at my disposal to make a coherent sentence!
Today I was reading an article in the McLean that the Jordan river where Jesus Christ was baptized is currently working at 2% than it's natural capacity. Due to several reasons primarily man made structures the once great Jordan river is now filled with raw sewage from the surrounding cities. What they will do is dump their raw sewage into a giant landfill. Unfortunately what has ended up happening is the sewage has begun to seep into the Jordan river causing it to be a smelling, murky, stream as compared the the clear roaring river it once was. There's several nature conservationist groups attempting to repair the damage that has been caused to this biblical historical sight but the damage may simply be too severe and by time the sewage treatment centers are operational, scientists predict the Jordan river will be nothing but a dried up pond.
This forced me to think about the ramifications of what this may just mean. Last month the same magazine stated that the sea of Galilee that has been ripe with fish from the days when Jesus walked on water is all but deserted of it's former resources. 'Overfishing' was on the top of everyone's mind at the time but they still can not figure out the reason for the sudden disappearance of the fish. Fed from the Jordan River, the Sea of Galilee is actually a fresh water lake approximately 12.5 miles long and 7 miles wide. Coincidence anyone?

Either way I found this very fascinating some may view it as a sign of end times others may view it as the destructive nature of man. Myself... view it as a little bit of both.
