In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. Genesis 7:11Remember back on the 17th Day of the 2nd Month of the Hebrew Civil Calendar, November 8th, 2006, when we were watching for a possible Rapture, for one, in parallel to the rain starting in Noah's time? And the many parallels also to South Dakota?And other mentions of South Dakota including this last August on Five Doves of the drought going on with South Dakota at its epicenter?Blistering Drought Ravages Farmland on Plains
With parts of South Dakota at its epicenter, a severe drought has slowly sizzled a large swath of the Plains States, leaving farmers and ranchers with conditions that they compare to those of the Dust Bowl of the 1930's.Well, come this last 17th Day of the 2nd Month, now of the Hebrew Religious Calendar, May 5th, 2007, when we were also watching for a possible Rapture, also in parallel to the rain starting in Noah's time, we again are drawn to South Dakota as "torrential rains swamp" much of South Dakota:May 9, 2007 - Marshall County JournalNot too many weeks ago area producers were concerned about a lack of moisture this spring, but all those concerns have been washed away - big time.
Marshall County was part of a widespread storm system last weekend that generally saw three to four inches of rain fall from Britton to the eastern edge of the county. But reports from Britton to the west and south ranged from eight to 11 inches.
The result of that much water that quick was washed out roads, flooded farmland that will jeopardize the planting season in some areas, and water in basements all around the county and beyond.
South Dakota State University weather experts report that last weekend was a 500-year storm event, and in some parts of the state may actually qualify as a 1,000-year storm event.To think that 7 days before May 5th we had a replica of Noah's Ark have it's door open, and then starting May 5th we have South Dakota, which had been the epicenter of a severe drought, experience more rain than it would expect to experience except every 500 years, and in some spots even every 1000 years!The hand of God!
