What If You Had A Third Of Your Diet Taken Away?

In what appears to be a honeybee mystery of Armageddon proportions that has baffled scientists and beekeepers, more than one-third of the nation's commercial honeybee population is mysteriously disappearing – and researchers warn the unexplained phenomenon threatens one-third of the American diet.

Experts warn the implications for the world's agriculture are nothing to be ignored: according to the United States Department of Agriculture, a full one-third of the human diet depends on honeybee pollination of crops – especially fruit, nut, vegetable and seed production in the United States.

The list of crops that depend on honeybees is long: almonds, apples, apricots, avocadoes, blueberries, boysenberries, cherries, citrus fruits, cranberries, grapes, kiwi, loganberries, macadamia nuts, nectarines, olives, peaches, pears, plums, raspberries, strawberries, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, cantaloupe, honeydew, onions, pumpkins, squash, watermelon, alfalfa hay and seed, cotton lint, cotton seed, legume seed, peanuts, rapeseed, soybeans, sugar beets and sunflowers.

It may be that the "one third" caught my attention first, and brought to mind the verse in Revelation 8:7 where it talks about the Angel sounding the first trumpet judgement and a third of all vegetation on earth was struck.

This verse is refering to the tribulation period, although we are experiencing the birth pangs, that will precede the most devasting time this world has ever seen. Once again, signs are every where. One only has to not be paying attention and not care what is happening. One of the last warnings in God's Word says that, "whosoever's name was not found recorded in the Lamb's Bool of Life was cast into the lake of fire." [Rev. 20:15]

What about you? What about your family and loved ones? Will you see them in the Rapture? Will they see you?

Ephesians 2:8-9 says that we are saved by grace through faith and there is nothing we can do to merit it. Christ did all it for us, and all we have to do is to accept His free gift. It is waiting for you if you will but take it.

It sure is a beautiful "day to fly."
