The days the bible talks about are here already... Imagine if something deadly was on the water... 15 000 plus could be wiped out just like that.

On the bright side though it has to be the most intelligent Scientists who could come up with a way to produce consumable water out of sa water. My take is that there's plenty too much that our rivers are pouring to the see and with the sea levels rising from both poles, we need a solution quick, AS A HUMAN RACE.

Man if I had done Chemistry at School!

Jesus came to set the captives friee,

some here, you are hurting_ violated in your life, your soul is tormented by guilt of what you have done,( abortion, murder, adultery, witchcraft...etc) i submit to you, head knowledge doesnt absolve your conscious, BUT the Blood Of Jesus on the cross....is able to set you friee.....can i get a witness. Religion cant do it, idle babblings cant do it, false religions dont save, specialist can only do so much BUT the Blood can set you friee....WHEN The Son of Man sets you friee, i tell you...You shall be friee indeed....DO U WANNA BE FREEE???

Heb 9:13_ how much more the blood of Jesus that can unchain your soul from all dead works

Repent, Submit to God that sets freeey....
