Where have all the *Bees* Gone? A Biblical Prophecy?

Question

Could this be one of the Biblical Plagues?
Revelations 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

Approximately 40 percent of my 2,000 colonies are currently dead and this is the greatest winter colony mortality I have ever experienced in my 30 years of beekeeping," apiarist Gene Brandi, from the California State Beekeepers Association, told Congress recently.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is the one that strikes fear second only to Satan. Famine, War, Pestilence and Death are the biblical cleansers of the world, turning man against man, and nature against man.

Answer 1

Unless you read it in the Biblical, then it is not Bibilcal, correct? We must make sure that we are receiving the interpretations of prophecy from the Bible itself, the "line upon line" and "here a little and there a little" principle. A horse, according to the word of God, is likened to a church or His people, "for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle." Zec 10:3. Therefore, knowing this, we apply the principle to the four horsemen. White is a symbol of purity, "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool"; and "Let thy garments be always white" Isa 1:18; Ecc 9:8. Then, we conclude that this church was a pure church, and arrows were, back in ages past, used to carry messages. This is a fitting representation of the early apostolic church that was noted for turning the world upside down, and carrying the gospel to all of the known world. This lasted for several centuries until compromise let corruption into her once unspotted garments. That early apostolic age, was followed by extreme persecution upon the faithful, from within the church. Thus we have a red horse with much bloodshed. After the persecution, came the great compromise between paganism and christianity. This unholy blend resulted in the Roman Catholic papal power, which ruled the earth for over a millenium. The black horse stands for darkness, morally and knowledgeably. The dark ages was a result from the papacy chaining the word of God, and leaving the people in gross darkness. Rome took it upon herself to judge her fellow men, thus you have the false balances that are a part of the third horse. This resulted in the pale horse. Death rode upon her, while the papal inquisitions that lasted for hundreds of years rolled on, from 50 to 100 million martyrs of faithful christians were put to death in many cruel ways. What were there crimes? Not bowing down to the antichrist papal power, and keeping the word of God in their homes and in their hearts. This led to the souls under the altar crying for vengeance, just as the blood of Abel cried from the ground (read Genesis). Thus, we see that the four horsemen represented various periods of history with God's church, and professed church (the church of Rome). We can see more of, "MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT MOTHER OF HARLOTS". "And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration." Revelation 17. True Bible prophecy points to a time when this persecution shall rise up again, anyone who shall live not bow down to Rome, and cling to the word of God, thereby shall incur persecution, perhaps, even unto death. We have not to fear, as long as Jesus is our all, He will not allow anything to happen that will keep us from everlasting life.

Answer 2

No supernatural explanation or significance required. Commercial beekeepers are breeding the diversity out of their hives, concentrating ONLY on maximum honey production. As a result, they are all susceptible to the same diseases and pests. And the way beekeepers haul their hives around in trucks to client framers stresses the bees, further weakening their immune systems. They're dying because the relentless human search for cost efficiency and profit are destroying them. Expect to see a surge in hiring human pollen collectors and distributors soon, or mass starvation. If you want to call that a "sign", go ahead, but no God is involved in this.

Answer 3

No one is sure why the bees are dying, but I've got a feeling it's got a lot more to do with the environmental damage done to the earth by humans than some overt act of God or Satan.

You don't have to be God, Nostradamus or whatever to predict war, famine, etc. It's always a safe bet. I mean, seriously - any shortage or over-population of insects is some sort of divine message? C'mon.

Wait, I sense an incoming revelation! I predict...that someone who is a child star today will grow up to have severe personal problems! I also predict that the next president will not fulfill some of his or her campaign promises!! Wow. Worship me.

Answer 4

If anybody wants to call god a scientific fact, we should have to account fot this god. At first I have to show a potential creator/designer, then I can develop a scientific theory of a creator. We for example are building houses. So it is scientific to say, that houses are planed and built, since we are these creators. A Spdier is buildingher web, but does she know, what she is doing. I think, many people would belief that, since they are very hypocritic to cinsciousness. But it is not plausible, that a spider knows what is does. According to the universe we can't see any god. And therefor the possibility that our Universe came into being without a creater is higher, that a god, who created ist. The bible is no evidence for God. I don't have to answer any of your questions: If you don't want, that humans are monkeys, you shouldn't treat them as circus monkeys. Please keep your religion out of my science. I respect you belief. Where is your respect?

Answer 5

I have known for over 20 years that the honey bees would be wiped out. Without the honeybee, some plants will not be pollinated severely affecting agricultural food production.

A 2000 Cornell University study concluded that the
direct value of honey bee pollination to U.S.
agriculture is more than $14.6 billion. That is a lot
of money but more importantly, it is a lot of our food
supply. Without the bees, we will lose crops that
require pollination and plenty do.

Yes, this is just the beginning of sorrows.

Answer 6

I read that it has something to do with cellular signals, and the way that bees communicate with each other. We certainly are doing a great job of destroying our planet, that is for sure, and if God does not stop us, I don't think we will stop ourselves! Humans are very " live for the now" kind of species

Answer 7

No the plagues of Rev 16 aren't poured out till Satan and his Fallen angels are here in site of Flesh men.

Answer 8

They are having the same problem in Europe.
Something about cell phones and towers???
They also suspect parasites and insecticides.
It is a serious situation that merits concern.
I see how it could be a harbinger of plagues.

Answer 9

The bible is a quick way to rot your brain. If you must study it, study it alongside the history and religions of Palestine, Egypt, Rome and Greece. Otherwise, you end up asking irrelevant questions like "Is this a sign of the end?"

Answer 10

This is a serious problem...
NO BEES NO FOOD!!!
Plant a garden now and freeze your veggies.
Too bad about the honey. Wheat won't grow so there won't be bread.
This is serious $hit.
