Dear  friends:

This is most interesting.  Reuters News Service reports that Sri Lankan officials cannot find any dead animals in the aftermath of the deadly tsumani.  They are saying that God must have given the animals a special ability to sense danger, so they could flee.  See article below.

Through this same ability, God must have directed all the animals to flee to Noah and the ark to escape the flood.  Surely, Noah did not have to go out to find and capture them in all their various locations, then haul them in.  Can you imagine all those different kinds of animals suddenly showing up at Noah's place?  (Grrrrr.  Uh, excuse me, Mr. Noah, can I get on this boat, er, ark. Bark.  Slobber.  Pant, pant.")

"As in the days of Noah," the animals will probably sense flooding or other disasters coming in the end times, and flee.  If your animals suddenly head for the hills, you had better follow them!

Will some animals be in the rapture?  We don't know.  It's possible.  If animals start showing up at your church for the rapture, look up, your redemption may truly be near!  (Now folks, don't start building a doctrine on this.  I am just having a little fun today.)  :)

But animal behavior may be a good indicator of things to come.  They are God's creatures too.

COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lankan wildlife officials are stunned -- the worst tsunami in memory has killed around 22,000 people along the Indian Ocean island's coast, but they can't find any dead animals.

Giant waves washed floodwaters up to 2 miles inland at Yala National Park in the ravaged southeast, Sri Lanka's biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants and several leopards.

"The strange thing is we haven't recorded any dead animals," H.D. Ratnayake, deputy director of the national Wildlife Department, told Reuters Wednesday.

"No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit," he added. "I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening."
