'The Bible prophecies are slowly fulfilling themselves in the midst of a
revelation'

The severe drought throughout most of Texas is taking its toll on
ranchers, travelers, athletes, businesses and natural resources, and
that last category includes the OC Fisher Reservoir, which has dead fish
floating on its little remaining water.

But what has caught the attention of many is the fact that the water has
turned blood-red.

The development, coming as it has amidst the various turmoil around the
globe and just as a comet has been reported to be racing toward Earth at
the peak of God's holy days, has sparked talk of biblical prophecy even
from distributors of scientific information such as Live Science.

There, a headline questioned, "End Times? Texas Lake Turns Blood-Red."

Pastor Paul Begley, of the Community Gospel Baptist Church in Knox,
Ind., said people should be taking note.

"I'm not saying that this Texas lake is these Scriptures in Revelation
but what I am saying is the Bible prophecies are slowly fulfilling
themselves in the midst of an end time revelation -- that we need to be
right, we need to be saved, we need to be born again and ready to meet
the coming King," he said.

Which also was accompanied by a silent video revealing the color of the
lake:

Revelation 8:8 states, "And the second angel sounded, and as it were a
great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea; and the third
part of the sea became blood."

And in Rev. 16:3-4, the Bible states, "And the second angle poured out
his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and
every living soul died in the sea. And the third angel poured out his
vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood."

It was just days earlier that reports appeared about a real-life comet
named Elenin that is racing toward Earth.

It's not on a crash course and experts believe it's closest point will
be some 21 million miles away but it comes during the culmination of
God's annual holy days mentioned in the Bible.

Begley said in a YouTube video then, "It's on its way and right in the
middle of the Feast of the Trumpets, it is going to come through and get
in between the Earth and the sun."

Members of the scientific community point to a lack of oxygen in the
water causing bacteria to thrive, causing the red color in the
reservoir. Chromatiaceae bacteria is the scientific term for the
bacteria that experts identify.

And on the YouTube page of Begley's commentary, skeptics abounded:
"instead of getting his info from a primitive book, he needs to take a
science class," wrote one.

The Lower Colorado River Authority reports that much of Texas is
enduring severe drought at this point.

"A prolonged stretch of exceptionally dry weather is causing the drought
across Texas and the lower Colorado River basin to intensify. The nine
months from October 2010 through June 2011 have been the driest for that
nine-month period in Texas since 1895, when the state began keeping
rainfall records. Across most of the Hill Country and the Austin area,
rainfall since last October is between 12 and 16 inches below normal.
Across the eastern counties of Central Texas and the middle Texas coast,
rainfall is running more than 20 inches below normal."

Hope-for precipitation from tropical storms that moved through the
region last weekend failed to develop.

Live Science senior writer Stephanie Pappas noted that Charles Cruz, a
fish and wildlife technician with the Texas Parks agency, said the
impact of the drought on the lake was "pretty sickening."

"Begley may not have any more luck at predicting the end of the world
than did Harold Camping, the radio preacher who set the date for May 21,
2011. But for as long as the drought persists, the OC Fisher reservoir
is a reservoir no longer," Pappas reported.

Begley's earlier warnings about Elenin noted that the comet's nearest
point to Earth will take place Oct. 16, during the Feast of Tabernacles,
according to today's Jewish calendar.

"I'm here to tell you right now, we're getting closer and closer and
closer and closer to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ," Begley said.

In the New Testament, Jesus predicted celestial signs concerning the end
of this current age and His return to Earth to govern the kingdom of God.

     * "And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in
heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in
the clouds with great power and glory." (Mark 13:25-26)

     * "And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines,
and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from
heaven." (Luke 21:11)

A Space.com article noted, "Internet rumors about Elenin began spreading
earlier this year. Its approach to Earth was blamed for shifting the
Earth's axis by 3 degrees in February, precipitating the Chile
earthquake, then shifting the pole even more to trigger the Japan quake
in March."

David Morrison, a planetary astronomer at NASA's Ames Research Center
and senior scientist at the NASA Astrobiology Institute, wrote,
"Ignoring plate tectonics as the cause of earthquakes, they suggest that
the comet exerted strong gravitational or electromagnetic effects on our
planet."

When it was pointed out how small the comet actually is -- just 2 to 3
miles wide -- with no magnetic field and that it won't even pass very
near Earth, rumors began to circulate about NASA withholding information
about Elenin.

"Ironically, the inconspicuous nature of this comet plays into some of
the conspiracy theories," Morrison told Space. "For people who are
convinced the comet did cause the earthquakes, this proves that Elenin
is not a comet at all, but a much more massive, and dangerous, interloper."

As was previously reported, a minister who promotes the Old Testament
roots of Christianity suggests a rare string of lunar and solar eclipses
said to fall on God's annual holy days in 2015 could signal the return
of Jesus.

Pastor Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries in Bonney Lake, Wash., noted
a coming rare phenomenon of four consecutive total lunar eclipses, known
as a tetrad, and often called "blood moons" since the moon often takes
on a bloody color.

He has reported during this century, tetrads occur at least six times,
but what's interesting is that the only string of four consecutive blood
moons that coincide with God's holy days of Passover in the spring and
the autumn's Feast of Tabernacles (also called Succoth) occurs between
2014 and 2015 on today's Gregorian calendar.

"The fact that it doesn't happen again in this century I think is very
significant," Biltz explained. "So then I looked at last century, and,
believe it or not, the last time that four blood red moons occurred
together was in 1967 and 1968 tied to Jerusalem recaptured by Israel."

He then started to notice a pattern of the tetrads.

"What's significant to me is that even before 1967, the next time that
you had four blood red moons again was right after Israel became a
nation in '48, it happened again in 1949 and 1950 ... on Passover and
Succoth. You didn't have any astronomical tetrads in the 1800s, the
1700s, the 1600s. In the 1500s, there were six, but none of those fell
on Passover and Succoth."
