  1. #JesusSaves. He will appear to rescue/rapture His Church; 1 Thessalonians 5:9, Titus 2:13, Hebrews 9:28.
    Job 38:22-38 ISV
    22 Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen where the hail is stored,

    23  which I’ve reserved for the tribulation to come, for the day of battle and war?

    24  Where is the lightning diffused or the east wind scattered around the earth?

    25  “Who cuts canals for storm floods, and paths for the lightning and thunder,

    26  to bring rain upon a land without inhabitants, a desert in which no human beings live,

    27  to satisfy a desolate and devastated desert, causing it to sprout vegetation?

    28  “Does the rain have a father? Who fathered the dew?

    29  Whose womb brings forth the ice? Who gives birth to frost out of an empty sky,

    30  when water solidifies like stone and the surface of the deepest sea freezes?

    On the Heavens
    31  “Can you bind the chains of Pleiades or loosen the cords of Orion?

    32  Can you bring out constellations in their season? Can you guide the Bear with her cubs?

    33  Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you regulate their authority over the earth?

    34  “Can you call out to the clouds, so that abundant water drenches you?

    35  Can you command the lightning, so that it goes forth and calls to you, ‘Look at us!’

    36  “Who sets wisdom within you, or imbues your mind with understanding?

    37  Who has the wisdom to be able to count the clouds, or to empty the water jars of heaven,

    38  when dust dries into a mass and then breaks apart into clods?

    Jeremiah 25:32 KJV
    32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

  2. Why do governments always have sign language interpreters around? Closed captioning isn't exactly a new thing. Liberal virtue signaling.

  3. Looks like California flooding. "Climate Change is real".

  4. Love from Bangladesh 😥😥God bless new zealand

  5. Wearing their masks didn't save them

  6. Chris Hipkins is a derty Narzi – pure evul

  7. I hope that’s not another fake sign language guy.

  8. So sad to see, my pray to all kiwi 🤲🏻 I was so lucky that we 1 family just came back from Auckland last 3 weeks. I just can’t imagine it could happened to my fav city…😢 Stay Strong!! from us family in 🇲🇾

  9. The END IS NEAR BY.. The world is getting destroyed by selfish people who never take care this planet.. So now MOTHER NATURAL is getting SWEET REVENGE AT EVERYBODY..

  10. Be safe! Keep off roads if not necessary and keep dry, NZ.

  11. The Day of judgement What will it be like video https://youtu.be/ttviqvfTBTg

  12. Everyone repent of your sins and turn to Jesus, for by grace are ye saved through faith that not that of yourselves it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8

  13. For every 1 degree increase in the Celsius scale, the air's capacity for water vapor goes up by about 7%. More water in the air means it'll come down harder, when it eventually condenses back into a liquid and falls back down as precipitation. Doesn't matter if people believe it or not, but the average global temperature has noticeably been trending upwards since the late 1970's. The temperature increases for 2019, 2020, and 2020 alone were 0.98 C, 1.02 C, and 0.85 C, respectively (data sourced from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies or GISS).

  14. So glad this happened in New Zealand and not someplace real.

  15. It's the end of the world we're just trying to ignore it😁

  16. I love NZ 😢 Sending love from usa 💜💜💜

  17. How terribly sad and heartbreaking.

  18. Isn't this in California

  19. I hope the irony of BP branded rescue dingys isn't lost on us.

  20. God protect your people there amen

  21. Jesus is coming for the church soon and very soon. God is giving plenty of warnings by letting the world come apart at the seams.

  22. …my goodness 😞; passport just renewed and I've eyed this fine country for stamp #4. Best wishes for all Kiwis 🗾🎗️

  23. no warnings ?
