Is Water the New Gold? There is an old saying,"You never miss the water until the well runs dry". Indeed we all seem to take water for granted until there is a drought, or dearth in the earth. Then when sanctions arise, we start praying, wishing and hoping for it to rain. We all presume that 'of course it's going to rain', and after God answers our prayers we revert right back to our water wasting habits.
This planet's vast water supply, the Oceans, have been under a chemical assault ever since the start of the 'Industrial Age'.Dozens of barrels/oil type drums, have been dumped into the oceans, when no one was concerned that the water pressure at the bottom of the oceans floor would crush those drums like paper, and that the contents would spill out into the bottom of the ocean, where they would dissolve into the water, poisoning it's immediate surroundings. Man is his worst enemy.
Now fast forward to Now-- umpteen years since the first car, the first factory was built. Now keep in mind that as a planet we have endured two World wars and we are now facing a possible third. Add to that mix the fact, that, for the past two decades, we and our oceans have been plagued by periodic oil spills, not to mention the recent debacle in the Gulf of Mexico. [these waters have been irreparably damaged], and with the availability of having a good supply via the oceans waters {which have now become finite}, the future for us is looking bleak indeed.
In the book of Revelation chapter 8 vs 8-9, "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 the third part of of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed". Also keep in mind that the term mountain/s in the book refers to Governments,
With that in mind, World wars 1 and 2 contributed to numerous ships and aircraft being sunk at sea, with incendiary devices including torpedoes and depth charges. And much later the testing by various nations of atomic and nuclear bombs in the pacific and other oceans. World's wars 1 and 2 were definitely a part of the fulfillment of that scripture, as countless Navy, Merchant Marines, Navy fliers and others died from explosives initiated against each other by the nations in conflict.
The fishes of the sea be damned, they too suffered if they were unfortunate to be anywhere near depth charges that went off, or torpedoes against ships or submarines. Add to that the various 'super powers' using the oceans to test their Atomic and Nuclear arsenals and thus has the scripture been fulfilled. All these thing have been combining to have to have a culminating effect on the planets waters, the ecology and our health as a whole.
As we continue to ponder the seriousness of the effects of pollutants on our planet's waters,[read the book 'Silent Springs' and also 'Poisoned Profits-The Toxic Assault on Our Children'], we again ask the question, is water the new gold? In the movie 'A Quantum Of Solace' the hero James Bond, is up against some nefarious villains who are hoarding, water, What else could be so precious in these times?
Consider these facts: Our planet is comprised of two thirds water and the human body is made up of over 80% liquid, which is why we have to drink a lot of fluids to stay hydrated. With all this abundance of water we have taken it for granted and now it has become finite. Our Oceans and seas, once a viable source of water and food, is now a serious threat to our existence. Looking in on James W. Rawley's Survival blog, I saw a nuke alert/slash geiger counter for sale,and for those who like to eat seafood that would be great for you to have before you end up eating some radioactive, mercury filled meal.
They also had water containers to trap and keep your own personal water supply, a great thing to have if you do not live in the inner cities. Considering the immensely huge amounts of toxic waste and the currently ongoing dumping into the oceans floor, is it any wonder that whales and other denizens of the deep blue seas/oceans have been beaching themselves? Why? They can't breathe through the poisons in the water.
Even as we speak, garbage is still being dumped into the oceans with even newer and more dangerous chemicals since the beginning of the 'industrial revolution'. In vs 10-11 of Rev chap 8 we read "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountain of waters; And the name of the star is called wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters , because they were made bitter". Tie in vs 8 and vs 10 and the state of pollution of the world's waters, and it's as if the star has already fallen., and it's just a matter of time, before people start falling like flies from the polluted rivers, lakes, and oceans to realize that this thing is happening right before our very eyes.
Sounds melodramatic? Hmm, do not think so, sales of water purifiers are on the rise, along with water purifying tablets. However don't get your skivvies into a knot. There are alternatives out here/there.
The very first waters to have been poisoned were the streams and rivers where factories and mills were built in close proximity. These then used the rivers and streams/creeks to runoff whatever toxic waste they wanted to get rid off or unused material that was not capable of being put o use.. This in turn contributed to the state of the waters today and the current attempts to clean up is now too little too late. Ah so depressing, I think I'll get a girlie mag and cheer myself up, and for those of us still sleepwalking, until the next time live well, be happy, make love, we bid you Peace.
