Explanation from the Holy
Bible says Red rain is not a good sign.
Do you agree with this editorial
of CSI Church
Now a days we hear the news of red colored
rain falling from
sky in Kerala. "Strange Mag" an internet magazine's
editor Mark
Chorvinsky said about red rain something like this, ' "Red
rain" has
sometimes been described as "blood rain." '
What is the reason for this rain?
Indian scientists could not
find an answer for this type of rain yet. Let us see what the
Bible
says about it? Bible tells us about the Israelites who were
in
bondage in Egypt and how God sent Moses to deliver them.
Pharaoh did not allow them to go. We see that God's judgment
came upon the on people who oppressed the Israelites.
Exodus 7:17, "'Thus says the LORD: "By this you shall
know that
I am the LORD. Behold, I will strike the waters which are in
the
river with the rod that is in my hand, and they shall be turned
to
blood."
And Exodus 7:20-21 says, "And
Moses and Aaron did so,
just as the LORD commanded. So he lifted up the rod and struck
the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh and
in the
sight of his servants. And all the waters that were in the river
were
turned to blood. The fish that were in the river died, the river
stank,
and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river. So
there
was blood throughout all the land of Egypt."
Red rain is not a good sign but
it is a reminder of the judgment
of God on the people. We also read about the coming Judgment
of
God in Rev 16:5-6, And I heard the angel of the waters saying:
"You
are righteous, O Lord, The One who is and who was and who is
to
be, Because You have judged these things. For they have shed
the
blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to
drink.
For it is their just due."
We know how much persecution is going on in India. They
are searching for believers and missionaries and killing them
one
by one. The whole world was stunned to see the cruelty when
almost two years back Graham stain an Australian missionary
and his two kids were burnt alive at Orissa. And persecution
continued from north India to south India. In Gujarat, BJP,
VHP,
RSS and other Hindu extremist groups gave ultimatum to every
Christian to renounce their faith or to be ready for being sacrificed
on 26th Jan. 2001. They chopped the hands and legs of Christian
missionaries and made them to walk naked on the streets of
Gujarat. Last week our Bishop told like this, "Hindu extremists
threatened them and said that they will remove every cross from
Church buildings and will plant 'Trishul' (Fork like thing -
a Hindu
symbol) on Churches and put their idols in the altar of Churches
on 28th Jan. 2001. They brought 3000 'Trishul' to do this.
But more than 500 pastors gathered
together fasted and
prayed for a great deliverance. Oh, and 26th Jan. was the last
day of their fasting. God heard the cry of these people and
sent
a great earthquake. Bhuj was leveled to the ground where most
of the foreign money flooded to kill the Missionaries and Christians.
And do you know what happened to these 500 pastors? The third
floor of the building where they were praying came down to the
ground as a lift and when all the 500 pastors came out of that
building safely, the building also collapsed.
My dear friend, it is not a joke
to play with the All Mighty
God. You are not doing it against the people but against God
Himself who says in Zechariah 2:8, "...for he who touches
you
touches the apple of His eye." Yes, it is like touching
the apple
of the eye of God. If you are involved in these types of atrocities,
get out of it otherwise destruction is awaiting you. You can
not
escape the judgment of God by torturing and killing God's people.
In India they thought that by killing missionaries and Christians
they will totally abolish Christianity from India but they could
not
stop it. Today, in the midst of persecution Christianity is
flourishing like anything. Villages after villages are turning
to
Christ. Who can stop God and His work but if you are standing
against the work of God, destruction is laying before you.
But you can escape from God's
judgment by repenting from
your sins and wrong doings. You can come to the cross where
the precious blood of Jesus was shed for you and for the whole
world's sin. And you can receive your pardon. No matter what
methods you used for destroying the work of God, whether it was
direct involvement or indirect involvement, repent from your
sins.
Whether you did sorcery or witchcraft against God's people or
tried to kill them or just encouraged people who were in this
business, you need to repent today before God's judgment
comes upon you.
Bible says in 1 John 1:9, "If
we confess our sins, He is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness." And also in 1 John 1:7, "and the
blood of
Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."
He can make you whole! Will you
mind praying this prayer
with me:
Loving Jesus, I am a sinner. I persecuted your people,
I did
wrong, please forgive me and forget all my sins. Let not your
judgment come in my life. Please give me your grace to love you
and your people. Jesus, I invite you to come into my life. I
accept
you as my Lord and Savior. Lord Jesus, please give me a clean
life. I will walk in your ways. Thank you Jesus for listing
to this
prayer. I pray this prayer in Jesus name, Amen.
