Are The Great Lakes Drying Up? Is The Tribulation Near?

The current levels of the Great Lakes are down and in some cases they are matching low levels not experienced for almost 85 years. The Great Lakes are drying up due to the extended drought conditions and the weird weather patterns that have been so prevalent since 2007.
There is so much concern about the the condition of these important water ways that this year 25 members of the Senate appealed to the Office of Management and Budget to make more money available for dredging. 
Russell Dzuba is the harbor master in Leland, Michigan. He reports that there is a sand bar that extends around the entire inside of the harbor. He says that he has not seen conditions like this since he has lived in the area which is nearly 48 years. He calls the water level "drastic".
Freighters are carrying drastically less cargo as a result of these lower levels. In 1997 a typical freighter carried 71,000 tons of cargo. By 2000 the same freighter could carry only 60,000 tons and the situation is growing worse. 
I drove over the Arkansas river in Hutchinson, Kansas, a couple of weeks ago and the river was about three feet wide. When I was a kid the river was a block wide. Our Earth is drying up and it is all leading to a horrible period of time called the Great Tribulation. Notice what St. John said about this time period and those who would survive it.

Revelation 7
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

It is obvious from this passage that the tribulation will be a time of drought, excessive heat and severe lack of drinking water. The loss of water levels has been occurring worldwide for several years and it should be obvious to even the casual observer that we are entering deeper into a massive crisis. Now is the time to trust Christ as Savior. Now is the time to have peace of mind in days of chaos. Watch the short video in the right sidebar. Come to Christ today!
