U.S. in drought and Britain’s flooded kingdom.

The United States is experiencing the worst drought in 50 years, and the United Kingdom had the wettest April to June on record, with July following the same pattern.

On July 11, the U.S. Department of Agriculture declared that more than 1,000 counties in 26 states (almost 2/3 of U.S. land) are now natural-disaster areas, making this the largest declaration in U.S. history (Business Week, July 16, 2012).  The conditions are becoming even worse.  “In the high-plains states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas, the areas designated as being in moderate to exceptional drought rose to 84 percent as of July 10 from 74 percent a week earlier.  In the Midwest, 63 percent of the region was in drought as of July 10, up from 53 percent on July 3” (ibid.).

While the United States lacks rain, the United Kingdom has received more than enough. “The wettest April to June on record, followed by more heavy rain so far this month, has caused widespread—and in some cases, repeated—flooding.”  “The Met Office has warned that many areas are expected to see between 20mm and 30mm of rain, and that some parts could see up to 60mm—as much as might be expected to fall in a month—in just a few hours…. John Curtin, Head of Incident Management at the [Environment Agency], said: ‘We have experienced some severe weather in recent weeks and the risk of flooding remains high across England, but particularly across the Midlands and the East of the country’” (The Telegraph, July 14, 2012).

God clearly states that if we walk contrary to His way of life, He will make the heavens like bronze, the earth like iron, and the rain will be changed into dust powder (Deuteronomy 28:23-24).  He also warns that He will cause it to rain on one city, but will withhold rain from another (Amos 4:7).  Scripture indicates that the U.S. and Britain will suffer weather calamities because of their immorality.  As these two nations turn their backs on God and promote clearly sinful behaviors and lifestyles, we should expect to see God set His hand against a rebellious people (1 Samuel 12:15).
