"Honeybees, Plagues, and Genes"


Dear Doves,
 
Some of this is my anecdotal observations which might be of interest.  As a former beekeeper, the attempt to blame the loss of honeybees on cell phone towers makes me wonder if there's not a more obvious electromagnetic culprit.  If electromagnetism is causing the loss of bees, there is a much greater danger than cell phones which might better correlate to this recently occurring problem.  That threat would be the new digital TV stations that are much greater in power and have just started broadcasting in the last two years in many areas.  I lost all of my bees due to the mite infestation in the late 80's but my brother has continued to struggle to keep a few bee hives going.  His bees have prospered the last few years even though cell phone coverage has blanketed his area for some time.  However, he lives almost 50 miles from the nearest TV station in any direction.  Even though I doubt the problem will turn out to be due to the digital TV signals either, I would certainly look there first.
 
A recently posted article decried the devastating loss of crops if we lost the honey bees.  I am also a gardener and maintain a home orchard, and the loss of bees due to the mite infestation effectively wiped out all honeybees in my area.  I have searched for bees in the Spring at different times to see if the bee population was returning and it is usually difficult to find a single bee in a fruit tree in full bloom, or a large patch of clover, both of which are favorite food sources for bees.  I have not seen any noticeable loss of production in my melons or cucumbers as the article stated.  Being in a very rural area, I am blessed with a large population of bumblebees, wasps, and other types of insects that have performed the service of pollinating my garden and orchard.  The only noticeable effect has been the lack of full clusters of wild cherries.  Whereas before the loss of honeybees, most clusters would be fully loaded, now the largest clusters are only about 30% full.  So I am seeing an effect due to the loss of bees, but it is not as devastating as the article implied.
 
Of course the loss of honey bees whether due to mites or electromagnetism is just another plague associated with the endtimes in which we live and people not being satisfied to stay within the bounds that God placed them.  One of the greatest causes of plagues in our time is due to international trade transporting devastating species of plants, animals, and insects to places that God didn't place them.  I personally have to continually battle with fire ants, kudzu, Japanese honeysuckle, Japanese beetles, and a plethora of other blights, funguses, curses and plagues brought to the U.S. either deliberately or unknowingly.  Even though killer bees are already headed this way, the geneticists will probably manufacture something more devastating by the time they reach my area so that there will be something else of greater concern when they arrive.
 
One of the interesting things about it being like the days of Noah when Jesus returns is in the area of genetic modifications, which is also one of the possible causes of the loss of honeybees.  Research is indicating that young bees fed from genetically altered crops is detectable in the young bees.   Even though it's not stated on the surface, it appears that the primary reason for the flood in Noah's day was due to the devil trying to pollute man's genes, or bloodline.  Some of the fallen angels left their first state (spirit realm) and were able to take upon themselves flesh and marry the daughters of man, all which they chose (Gen. 6:2).  One of the reasons that Noah was chosen was because his bloodline from Adam was perfect (Gen. 6:9).  After the flood, just as God set down additional laws to man, he must have also done so for the fallen angels, to prevent it from continuing to be a problem.  Compare II Peter 2:4 with Jude 1:6 which both refer to the subset of fallen angels which took upon themselves flesh and are incarcerated in chains for doing so.  I think you can see that all fallen angels didn't leave their spiritual habitation to take upon themselves flesh which is why some are still roaming free today and are the principalities and powers in heavenly places (Eph. 3:10 & 6:12).  If you will accept it, the "sin" referred to in II Peter 2:4 (right before mentioning the flood in the next verse) was leaving the spirit realm and not the original rebellion.  If it were the original rebellion, then the devil himself would also have be held in chains of darkness, and there would be no current principalities and powers in heavenly places.
 
Since the second Adam was born of a woman of a pure bloodline from the first Adam, you would think the devil would lose interest in messing with man's genes. However, between atheistic geneticists, abortionists and stem cell researchers, and UFO demons, it appears that he is back at it as it was in the days of Noah.  At least we won't have to put up with it much longer!
 
Hosanna, Lord Jesus!
