Revelation 8:7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire, mixed with blood, were hurled to the earth. So a third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. Who doesn't like a grass and a good tree. What would roll around on as kids. Our homes and neighborhoods wouldn't be complete without them. Fall would be bland without the trees' beautiful colors. They're incredible just to look at, good for climbing , shade some even for food and so much more. Our Since day 3 we have had trees on our planet. There wasn't even a person here to enjoy them until day 6 but never-the-less God created them with beauty and purpose. Trees are amazing, they come in so many different shapes and sizes and there are so many you would think no one could count them. According to this article by the Washington Post, "the world’s overall tree leader is clearly Russia, with 642 billion total trees, followed by Canada with 318 billion and Brazil with 302 billion. The United States is actually fourth overall in this ranking, with 228 billion trees. Other countries with over 100 billion trees include China, with 140 billion and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with 101 billion. Indonesia comes in 7th, with 81 billion, and Australia 8th, with 77 billion." read more www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/09/16/the-countries-of-the-world-ranked-by-their-tree-wealth/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.f589aca5e82d And to think just like that 1/3 of the world's trees and 100% of all grass will be gone with the sound of the first trumpet. I don't know how quick, but our air quality will be ruined and our once beautiful blue and green planet will be blue and brown for the better part and this is just the first of 7 trumpets. This is not the first time the world has experienced this. it did so in the time of Moses in Egypt. Although it wasn't world wide, Egypt and the those who lived there at that time must have been devastated to see there beautiful landscape gone after the plague of hail and fire. Egypt did recover but the world in the time of Revelation will not. This is just the beginning of the end. BUT God will make ALL things new as He has promised. Consider this as you go about your day today. Enjoys the splendor of the trees and covering of the green grass. Thank God for what we have and enjoy. Have a great day Loved Ones and God bless you real good! Memory Verse of the Week The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up in the presence of God from the angel’s hand. Revelation 8:4
