All is quiet on the end-times scene at the moment, since BP plugged the leak in the Gulf of Mexico.
This is so, despite the claim that "each year since the 1960s, there has been a spill the size of the Exxon Valdez’s into the Niger Delta".
According to a group of independent experts "between 9 million and 13 million barrels of oil have been spilled in the Niger Delta since drilling began in 1958."
The Nigerian government estimates that "7,000 'spills', large and small, occurred between 1970 and 2000."
And "Today about 2,000 oil-polluted sites still need cleaning up".
The article asks why no-one cares. I bet you never hear any end-timers mention it either!
Until news affects Americans it has little media market - and as little eschatological interest.
If it's currently affecting America, then it's prophecy fulfilled! Nevermind if the prophetic Scripture actually indicated a specific place and timeframe! :)
This is called navel-gazing. Forgetting all else around and staring at one's own belly-button. Not a good way to interpret Scripture :)
