Luke 21:25,26 NAS “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay (tension from difficult circumstances that "won't move" which produces distress or anguish – causing someone to feel "locked in" or “tightly pressed”) among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting (lose morale, become disheartened, like lapsing into temporary unconsciousness) from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world...
“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”
The official death toll from super storm Sandy is now 88 in the U.S. with almost half of those deaths in New York City. Many others remain missing and are feared dead including several children.
The death toll in the United States alone has surpassed the storm’s death toll from the rest of the world impacted by the storm. The death toll jumped overnight as 15 bodies were found in Staten Island as responders are just starting to work their way through the devastation.
Over 4.5 million people are still without power three days after the storm made landfall at Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Many gas stations are still closed and residents are unable to get fuel or supplies because of the outages.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered the National Guard to deliver 30 tractor trailer loads of supplies to a million citizens.
