White-nosed syndrome among bats is sweeping through America and Canada alarming the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
According to biologists, bats are an important part of the Eco-system, keeping flying insects and pests at bay.
Sixteen states and four Canadian provinces have had mass die off of bats, causing conversationalists to sound the alarm.
The fungus affecting the bats, causes them to wake up from their hibernation, searching for night flying insects in the cold weather. Their futile search kills them, as there is no food supply in the winter.
Dan Ashe from the US Fish and Wildlife Association stated:
“This startling new information illustrates the severity of the threat that white nose syndrome poses for bats, as well as the scope of the problem facing our nation. Bats provide tremendous value to the U.S. economy as natural pest control for American farms and forests every year, while playing an essential role in helping to control insects that can spread disease to people,” said agency director Dan Ashe.
Some biologists fear if a remedy for the fungus is not found quickly, the little brown bats may become extinct.

My Comment:
It isn’t enough that the birds are falling from the sky and the fish are washing up on shores around the world.
The bees are dying in record number and now bats are at risk of going extinct. Scientists scramble trying to find the answers to these predicaments without cause.
All of this die-off will eventually change healthy ecology as we know it. Bees dying off affect crops and food production and the bats keep the mosquito and disease-causing insects from making the human population sick.
Nature is breaking down as it cries out for the return of Jesus to make things right in the world. As the spirit of antichrist picks up speed, the world enters into unknown territory. The enemy is a destroyer and killer.
As evil seeps into governments and leaders, being led by Lucifer, the sweetness and purity of creation seems to buckle under it’s weight.
As we continue to see these freaks of nature, disease and pestilence will take over the world, just as the bible has predicted. We await, with joyful expectation for the King to fulfill the Scriptures and bless us with a new heaven and a new earth after the world is rocked by tribulation and chaos.
We need to be ready for the bumpy ride ahead and keep in mind that as the world crumbles around us and we are persecuted even unto death, it pales in comparison for all He has prepared for those who love Him.
When you read the news, tempted to succumb to depression, remember all of this must happen before He returns. This place is temporary. It is not our home. Let’s keep looking to Jesus with hope knowing he will never abandon or forsake us. Hallelujah.
Luke 21:11
There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
Luke 19:40
“I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”
Romans 8:18
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

That little bat is kinda cute don’t you think Sue?
You should have been a vet, Dawn. Cute is not the first word that comes to my mind when I look at this bad. Vampire is. LOL
That was what I wanted to be until I watched my dog die. I was only 10, so it was kind of a traumatic deal. But yeah, the little guy kinda reminds me of a chihuahua.
I love chihuahuas.
Sorry to hear that Dawn.
“This place is temporary. It is not our home. Let’s keep looking to Jesus with hope knowing he will never abandon or forsake us.” – amen sister, that is the key to staying focused while everything else unravels. We must profess truth, pray for sinners, and cry out for His return.

Dear Lyn,
Thanks for your words of support. So appreciated.
Tha’s a wink by the way…
Thanks for this, Sue
The truth is that we have allowed gouvernment regulators to disregard the pollution, destruction and poisoning of this planet, our home, that is causing the present die-off of several species per day and uncountable new diseases among people, as well as the environment.
I am not aware that Jesus said that all this is fine because paradise is coming soon. Lucifer, in this case, is just an other name for not giving a damn. We are paying a terrible price for all our gadgets and the secret ingredients in our food, among many things, not to mention our water and the air we breath. I’ll exchange any coming glory gladly for a healthy planet today. Martin
Dear Martin,
Thanks for your comment and welcome to this blog. Jesus did not say “this is all fine.” but there are warnings in the bible that as the time gets closer to His return many things will happen including changes in the environment and animal life.
Martin, this world is temporary. It is a beautiful world, but because of sin, the planet is not the paradise it was intended. This won’t happen until God creates the new heaven and new earth.
Before Jesus comes back, there will be lots of chaos.
Do you know Jesus?
Critical thinking asks, Who counted the bats, wow 6,700,000, seriously? Seriously how did “they” come up with that number. Extrapolation? I am somewhat alarmed and yet skeptical.
As far as spiritual warfare goes, Lucifer is trying to kill all of God’s nature as fast as he can, and he’s doing a good job of it.
