Editor’s Note:  Prophet Rick Joyner warns that when you see strange and extreme weather (record breaking highs, lows, floods, droughts, tornadoes, storms), it is a prophetic sign that the Revelation Days are upon us.

“Catastrophic calamities are coming upon the earth, not one of these days in the distant future, but soon—now! Torrential rains, unsettling weather patterns, violent storms, floods, famines, droughts, earthquakes increasing in frequency and intensity, volcanic eruptions, and a host of other signs of the times Jesus told us to watch for are happening now.”

-Jim Bakker in “Prosperity and the Coming Apocalypse”

Extreme weather across the United States has muted many Fourth of July celebrations.

Dozens of cities across the country have scrapped fireworks displays due to the extreme heat wave drying out land and woods.

“The way I look at it,” Dale Seward of the Delphi, Indiana Chamber of Commerce told MSNBC, “I’d rather preside over the chamber that canceled fireworks one year than preside over the chamber that burned the school down.”

“I can’t even remember the last time we had rain,” Cottleville-Weldon Springs, MO Chamber of Commerce executive director Will Kline said.

The biggest range of cancellations is in Colorado where wildfires are continuing to rage. Aspen, Aurora and Boulder are among the bigger cities to cancel their fireworks celebrations due to the dry conditions.

“I would say this year we’ve had more [cancellations] than we’re used to because of the drought conditions in the country,” Julie Heckman of the American Pyrotechnics Association said.

The heat has been so oppressive that in Wisconsin it buckled a portion of a highway that’s caused major damage to multiple vehicles.
