India Heat Wave Death Toll Climbing

Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?” Luke 21:11 "There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things (that which strikes terror), and great miraculous signs in the heavens."

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.

The death toll in the killer heat wave sweeping India has jumped past the 2,000 mark.

Local officials say that over 2,300 are confirmed dead from the heat with 1,700 in just Andhra Pradesh state along India’s coast.

Scattered rain has been striking the country and helping to cool temperatures that ran as high as almost 118 degrees last week.  The rain has helped the capital city of New Delhi fall into the upper 90s with their daily high temperatures.

The monsoon season will begin later this week with the arrival of the first main monsoon.  The temperatures are expected to fall to less lethal levels within days of the main monsoon’s arrival.

 

The majority of the dead were the nation’s poor and sick.  Many were unable to find shelter from the heat.
