Drought in the Mountains
Prophecy being fulfilled once again?


      On Saturday, during Easter 2001, I posted a page describing a passionate moaning groaning sound of labor pains that I heard coming from heaven and I followed this up a few days later I wrote in excitement on the same subject called 'Little naked Adams, little naked Eves'. When I heard these sounds of 'labor pains' I new that something was about to happen, something big, and this followed about a week later by the message on a Friday night describing the Eden Eagle wing which then appeared on schedule over the Sahara on Sunday Morning, April 22nd, 2001 (Earth Day, a wonderful piece of symbolism, I thought).

      One of the reasons that I got so excited by the strange sound of those labor pains coming from the sky is that it was something I instantly recognized as the of an ancient fulfilment of prophecy from the book of Isaiah (as well as a signal that something was about to be born - something big...) The prophecy in question reads as follows:

"For a long time I have kept silent, I have kept still and restrained myself; now I will cry out like a woman in labor, I will gasp and pant. I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbage; I will turn the rivers into islands, and dry up the pools. And I will lead the blind in a way that they know not, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I will do, and I will not forsake them." (Isaiah chapter 42 verse 14)

      Now after watching events unfold over the last few months I have become concerned about the Rocky Mountains and what seems to be an unfolding drought with the threat of 'dried out herbage' actually beginning to unfold as it states in the prophecy concerning the labors pains above. The following thumbnail is linked to the Palmer drought index on the web and the mountains have been getting progressively worse. The brown areas are those suffering drought, with the dark brown areas, which, as you can see, are concentrated in the mountains, suffering the most extreme drought.

      The following thumbnail is linked to the drought monitor site. The Drought Monitor map uses different criteria and also indicates drought in the Rain Forests of the Rocky Mountains. The darker the brown the worse the drought, with Red being extreme drought.

      Below are some of the low humidity maps that I have been monitoring, snap shots of May 31st, June 20th, and July 22nd. The thumbnails are linked to the Weather Underground site, and show a pattern of consistent desert like low humidity during the heat of the day (the darker the blue the drier it is on these maps.)

      And finally the thumbnails below are linked to Vegetation maps available on the web.These correspond to the information revealed by both the dryness maps and the drought maps above, and show the accumulating effect on mountain vegetation.

Relative Greenness
How green things are
compared to how green they
are in average years.
The redder the more difference there is.

Departure
How much the difference departs
from the norm.
Once again the redder the more departure.

      Given that the first of the Sahara prophecies came to pass, and given that the 'birth pangs' also came to pass, it does not seem to far fetched to me to see something ominous developing in the mountains...
