   First read this news and then I will connect the dots between this news and what we are warned from Jesus in the Book of Revelation. Make sure you watch the video at the end of this post!

“VIVIAN, SD – A small South Dakota town is being recognized for a big find after last Friday's storms. It was Friday afternoon when a line of thunderstorms fired up in central South Dakota. High winds, heavy rains and even a possible tornado rolled through the town of Vivian. But now days later, a hailstone picked up just moments after the storm is getting worldwide attention. The damage is proof that it wasn't a typical South Dakota thunderstorm. Holes were punched through the top of buildings, and Les Scott will never forget what it sounded like. "A guy throwing bricks at the house and many of them and it was scary," Scott said. Scott watched as massive hailstones pummeled the ground. Tuesday, the dents in the ground are still visible, some as large and deep as coffee cans. But when the hail stopped, a certain stone grabbed his attention.”

“Scott originally wanted to make a daiquiri out of the hail, but decided to contact the National Weather Service instead. Tuesday, they were in Vivian. They carefully took the stone from the freezer and placed it in a cooler with dry ice. The next stop was at the post office where the hail had a date with the federally certified scale. Moments later, the hailstone weighed in at 1.9375 pounds. “Officially, where records have been kept, this will be the U.S. record and world record for weight. So very impressive," Mike Fowle of the National Weather Service said.”

Let us take a look at what the Lord has shown us from His Word found in the Bible concerning Hailstones. Read what Job said.  "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail, which Ihave reserved for the time of distress, for the day of war and battle?" (Job 38:22-23) This passage teaches  God has a store house of hail, specifically for "the time of distress," and "for the day of war and battle." For those who think this statement Is just  metaphor are in for a huge surprise. In the Old Testament we have seen the Lord use hail stones to fight against Israel’s enemies.

Look at Exodus. 9:22-26, here we see the Lord using hail stones against Egypt during the seventh plague. I quote, “Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that hail will fall all over Egypt–on men and animals and on everything growing in the fields of Egypt." When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt; hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation. Throughout Egypt hail struck everything in the fields–both men and animals; it beat down everything growing in the fields and stripped every tree. The only place it did not hail was the land of Goshen, where the Israelites were.” 

If the people in Egypt were alive now and they were able to tell you, they would let you know the hail that hit them did not come down with the term (this is only a metaphor)!  It is very clear the Lord used the weather to send down the hail. 

Read Psalm 18:12-13 “Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning. The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.”  

Now read Psalm 78:47-48, “He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore-figs with sleet. He gave over their cattle to the hail, their livestock to bolts of lightning.” 

What about Ezekiel 13: 11-13? “therefore tell those who cover it with whitewash that it is going to fall. Rain will come in torrents, and I will send hailstones hurtling down, and violent winds will burst forth. When the wall collapses, will people not ask you, "Where is the whitewash you covered it with?"  'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: In my wrath I will unleash a violent wind, and in my anger hailstones and torrents of rain will fall with destructive fury.” 

Check out what the Prophet Isaiah said in Isaiah 28:17 “I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line; hail will sweep away your refuge, the lie, and water will overflow your hiding place.”

Isaiah again in Isaiah. 30:30, “The LORD will cause men to hear his majestic voice and will make them see his arm coming down with raging anger and consuming fire, with cloudburst, thunderstorm and hail.”

Isaiah again from Isaiah 32:19.”Though hail flattens the forest and the city is leveled completely”.

I hope you also learn from Joshua 10:11 where we are told, "And it came about as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that the Lord threw large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died; there were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword." (Joshua 10:11)

Take note how God has dealt with those who opppse Him in the past and take careful notice what He tells you about the future. I now quote our Lord Jesus from Revelation 16:21. “From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.”

Go back and read the verses I quoted from and you will see a pattern of storms, winds, lightening, and hail stones falling on the unrighteous people.  Take heed to the words of Jesus in Mark 13:8 8 “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.” You also need to pay attention to Luke 21:25 and I will show you why. “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.

Jesus warned us we would see the roaring and tossing of the sea.  What moves the sea?  High winds from huge storms, hurricanes, and typhoons all cause the roaring and tossing of the sea. Has any of you noticed our weather is changing and becoming more violent?  This is only the beginning of things to come, the birth pains Jesus spoke to us about. During the tribulation the weather will become so violent you will see exactly what Jesus said in Revelation 16:21, the hailstones that reach almost 100 lbs each.  If you want to test Jesus on His word just refuse to receive Him as your Savior and find yourself left behind with the rest of the people who did not believe in the Lord, nor His Word, nor His warning to escape what is coming. How can you escape? Take the Lord’s free gift of salvation.  What about you? Do you believe?
