Death toll from dengue fever in Pakistan reaches 337

Prophecy Sign:  Disease and pestilence in the last days

Disease outbreaks and insect infestations will become ever more concerning as the last days approach.  That these types of plagues should happen now with our modern medical sophistication and abilities to control pestilence is very concerning.  But think what will happen when wars span famine and desease during the coming Tribulation period.

There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Luke 21:11 NIV

An insect invasion is terrorizing New York City homeowners, making life miserable, even dangerous, for many families. Parents have been forced to take extreme measures to protect their children and their homes. CBS 2’s Dave Carlin investigates the growing Upper West Side mosquito mystery. These rare mosquitoes are extra blood-thirsty and active year-round. Carlin saw some of them in a lab after they were collected in the unlikeliest of places, Bernard Lagan’s home on West 84th Street. “They trapped 150 mosquitoes in the basement in a 24-hour period coming from underground and into the basement and up in to the house through the air vents and it’s the same story as the other brownstones on this block,” Lagan told Carlin.
