The state of Florida was hit with three hurricanes during the month of September, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne. Notice that the name Frances contains the word France. The remnants of this hurricane ended up in French speaking Canada. It actually delayed the start of the Bell Canadian Open by a few hours as players waited for the heavy downpours to cease. Hurricane Ivan hit the panhandle of Florida on September 16th which corresponds to Rosh ha Shanah on the Hebrew calendar. The remnants of this hurricane also ended up in Canada on September 18th exactly one year to the day the hurricane Isabel impacted the outer banks of North Carolina in 2003. Lastly hurricane Jeanne hit the east side of Florida in almost exactly the same spot as did Frances on September 25th which happened to be Yom Kippur on the Hebrew calendar. Jeanne also died out in the nation of Canada.So, what does all of this mean? The name Ivan is the Slavic equivalent of the name John and the name Jeanne is the French feminine equivalent of the name John. Both hurricanes Frances and Jeanne impacted the state of Florida in close proximity to Fort Pierce. Which Biblical personage do we associate the word "pierce" with but Jesus Christ the Son of God? John the Baptist cried out as he saw Jesus coming to the river Jordan "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world!". No thinking person would deny the fact that the state of Florida has been thoroughly "baptized" by these three hurricanes. The French Catholics in Canada celebrate the birth of John the Baptist on June 24th, something they call "Jean Baptiste Day". Notice the similarity of the names Jean and Jeanne. The precise placement and timing of these hurricanes and their connection to the nation of Canada leads me to believe that this is a message directly from Almighty God himself.
The message of John the Baptist was clear "Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" He was the one who was "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.". Perhaps God is using these storms to warn us the the coming of the Lord and of the future judgments to come. The islands of the Caribbean are known for spiritism and wickedness. They have suffered tremendessly because of these storms. Perhaps this is like a final warning before the hammer of the tribulation falls. If they think that these storms were terrible, I have news for them, they have seen anything yet!
