    An excerpt from an article I saw.

    "This event occurs in the wake of a series of earthquakes that rocked parts of China as well, on Friday. The quakes struck southwestern portions of the country which is also the same region where the Yangtze began turning red. These quakes have reportedly killed at least 64 people, destroyed more than 30,000 homes and caused major landslides in several areas."

    Yes. It outlines this clearly in the Bible.

    Yeah, yeah, that's it. The end is near, apocalypse, end times; and like that. Now, the question is how can we make a buck off it?

    The blood of the 80 million murdered by Mao now speaks!

    (severe floods got notice of China's southwestern neighbour and ally Pornistan -- the blood of the 3.5 million Bengalis/tribals murdered in 1971 "Operation Searchlight" came as floodwaters in 2010 -- but that wouldn't even faze the Chinese, so red water)

    “Red tide” is a common name for a phenomenon known as an algal bloom, an event in which estuarine, marine, or fresh water algae accumulate rapidly in the water column, or “bloom”. These algae, can form dense, visible patches near the water’s surface. Certain species of phytoplankton contain photosynthetic pigments that vary in color from green to brown to red...

    Ah well that has already been researched. Red tide occurs in either salt water or in still or stagnant fresh water, not in fresh water Rivers. So, scientists consider Red Tide HIGHLY unlikely.

    There's no doubt about it, the Bible prophesies in the Book of Revelation that a good portion of the earth's water will turn to blood - I believe it is 1/3.

    The question is, "Is that prophecy starting to be fulfilled right now, like starting in China?" OR, "Will that portion of prophecy be fulfilled in an exceedingly far greater way in the future?" Personally, I think the latter is more likely, but that would be far more scarier, too. The pics you've posted are scary enough as it is. Certain other Bible prophecies would have to be fulfilled first.

    The Yangtze and Ganges are the world's most polluted big rivers.360 miles of the Yangtze River has been polluted since years due to industrial dumping, inadequate sewage treatment facilities and Chemical factory disasters.

    Its estimated that the river right now contains about 40 million tons of industrial and sewage waste.Half of China’s 20,000 petrochemical factories are stationed on its banks with about 40 percent of all waste water produced in China flowing into the Yangtze,of which only about 20 percent is treated beforehand.

    In February this year a Chinese maritime court ordered the detention of a South Korean cargo ship for leaking chemicals into the river and contaminating drinking water



    "..Phenol, an acid compound used to make nylon and detergents, was found in its water source last week. The pollution caused tap water in some parts of the city to emit a pungent smell, sending panicked residents to stockpile bottled water from supermarkets.

    A cancer-causing cadmium discharge from a mining company polluted a long stretch of two rivers in southern China last month, prompting officials to warn some 3.7 million people of Liuzhou in the Guangxi region to avoid drinking water from the river, state media reported.

    God is not responsible,but it sure would be a blessing if he would wake up and do something to save the river and all life in it and all those living near it!.
