It never has to be either or. Either from a narrow view and understanding be the person a believer or a non-believer. God has made all things for His purpose, in His time, for His reasons. Yes, certain minerals are present. But what of the timing? And the place?

We must acknowledge that God in His foreknowledge created all things from the beginning, for His unveiling of the times, in each season among the people leading to the final season which is upon us.

Tectonic plates. Molten core. Atmosphere as it is. Volcanoes. The sun, the moon, and the stars. Each place each person in its proper time.

One question rarely asked or considered is; why are people so compelled to explain things away? More concerned with denying God, denying Jesus Christ, denying the Holy Spirit, denying the Holy Bible than with demonstrating the wisdom and knowledge they claim to have.

Swift to deny, discredit, denigrate the hand of God, the existence of the God of the Holy Bible [as opposed to the god of their making to fit their comfort levels]. Supposedly intelligent people revealing the depths of their ignorance, blindness, and closed hearts and minds to the LORD and His Word, His ways.

If only people would pause, be still, allow the hearing, the seeing, the knowing of God Almighty to enter in and bestow light in the dark places, heat in the cold dead hearts.

But then, this is how we’ve been told it has been, is, and will be. Right to the end. Only getting worse as the end draws closer.

I don’t attach things to blood moons and rivers turning blood red with specific Scripture unless Scripture clearly states such. Conjecture, surmising, attempting to prognosticate, and predict is a dangerous place to stand upon that leads to a falling away as the false ground being stood upon breaks away.

Stand within the whole Word of God. Only the whole Word of God. No variance. No adding no subtracting — but know the LORD is at work constantly, and we are given signs. Many signs daily. If only we’d pay attention and allow the Holy Spirit to direct our ways, our thinking placing all things in order within us according to the inerrant infallible unchangeable eternal active and living Word of God.

The following is very interesting. Due to timing and place in conjunction with world events.

Nothing happens without a reason. Nothing. There are no coincidences.

River on Iranian island turns blood red in time for Passover

 

While the non-believers can dismiss the blood-red waters with explanations based on mineralogy, the color hints at war as political relations between the U.S. and Iran deteriorate

Heavy rainfall on Hormuz Island in the Persian Gulf created blood-red rivers that tumbled over waterfalls, turning the sea bright crimson.

The location is sparsely inhabited and miles from the Iranian mainland, known locally as Silver and Red Beach. It is no stranger to this phenomenon, which also appeared last year. The volcanic soil on the island contains a high iron oxide content, producing a reddish pigment called Golak by natives. Golak is made into a reddish ochre used for artistic and culinary purposes.

While the non-believers can dismiss the blood-red waters with explanations based on mineralogy,  the color hints at war as political relations between the US and Iran deteriorate. Trump-ordered airstrikes on the Iranian proxy Houthis killed at least 31 in Yemen. Trump warned the Islamist regime in Iran that if they threatened the United States, “America will hold you fully accountable and, we won’t be nice about it!”

The appearance of a blood-red river is strongly reminiscent of the first plague that led to the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt.

Moshe and Aharon did just as Hashem commanded: he lifted up the rod and struck the water in the Nile in the sight of Pharaoh and his courtiers, and all the water in the Nile was turned into blood Exodus 7:20

Jews will be reviewing the plagues in just a few weeks at the Passover seder.

According to Jewish tradition and based on a verse in Micah, the ten plagues will reappear before the Messiah.

I will show him wondrous deeds As in the days when You sallied forth from the land of Egypt. Micah 7:15

Jewish sources predict that the ten plagues will reappear in the final Redemption but in even more powerful forms. It is written in Midrash Tanchuma, homiletic teachings collected around the fifth century, that “just as God struck the Egyptians with 10 plagues, so too He will strike the enemies of the Jewish people at the time of the Redemption.”

Nahmanides, a prominent 12th-century Torah scholar from Spain, wrote in his commentary on the plagues that the primary reason God punished the Egyptians was not for enslaving the Israelite people but for dismissing God and his influence in their lives.

This concept was explained by Rabbi Bahya ben Asher, a 13th-century Spanish commentator, who wrote, “In Egypt, God used only part of His strength. When the final redemption comes, God will show much more His power.”

The image of a blood-red river has strong connotations for the Biblically-minded but is also significant to Muslims. In Islam, there are five plagues, i.e., floods, locusts, lice, toads, and turning of drinking water into blood. In comparison, in the Bible, there are ten plagues, i.e. water into blood, frogs, lice, wild animals, diseased livestock boils, storms of fire, locusts, darkness, and death of the firstborn. According to the Koran, the plagues were brought by Moses (Musa), one of Islam’s five most prominent prophets.
