I am somewhat surprised that there has been no mention of the disaster that is unfolding right now in China. They have received two years worth of rain, in just two days. The worst flooding in the recorded history of China. Entire villages and towns downstream from Beijing have been washed away, due to all the flood gates being opened in order to try to spare Beijing. There is no way to accurately assess the loss of life, but based on the video footage I have seen, it could potentially be in the millions. Water is overflowing the 3 Gorges Dam. The destruction of infrastructure, crops and homes, is absolutely devastating. This is going to have a fatal impact upon China's economy, and will have a ripple effect on economies around the world. There is a virtual media blackout concerning this biblical disaster. I wept as I watched this tragedy destroying the lives and property of so many. We are powerless in the face of Nature's whims. Although the Chinese government has tried to block the release of any video of this horror, there are plenty of them on YouTube. Watch the Water. Pray for the people of China.

"...never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."
Genesis 9:8-11
That leaves a bit of wriggle room though.
It’s weird, this is the first I’ve heard about this flood. I’ve been out of the news cycle for a few days. But earlier this week I had a dream of a great flood. Very vivid. I remember climbing to the top of my house with the wife, using the surrounding water to help us climb. The water wasn’t pushing us around but it was scary. In the distance I could see massive waves, thundering down on nearby cities and homes. But not on us. I knew God was protecting us. I asked the wife, while we got to the highest point, “God said he wouldn’t destroy the Earth by water again right?”, and she responded “no He won’t, because He promised. But, God may teach a lesson with it.”
His promise to never flood the earth again, like in the days of Noah, was sealed with a rainbow. OUR rainbow. hey alphabet people, we want our rainbow back!
Damn that is a vivid dream. Most of mine go poof after awakening, though I try so hard- the memory is like RIGHT THERE. There's only a few I can recall to this day, most from yrs ago. Sometimes feels like I'm livin a dream within a dream, yet wish badly to wake up. I think I'm "awake" here in so called reality but know there's so much moar to learn, and perhaps when I finally do... will set me free...
China isn't the whole earth though. There are still plenty of local floods and always will be (until death dies when Christ returns)
