Two nights ago 200 cows died in Wisconsin.

Paul Begley is an online theologian who loves discussing the End Times. Regardless of my opinions about the End Times or Paul’s theory, I can’t help but LOVE his crazy passion. He’s much more interesting to watch than that other guy, the 3rd Eagle of the Apocalypse.

But according to Time (and the video above), Paul believes that the crazy deaths of birds, fish, crabs, and now COWS are all connected….

Why? Because of 3 little verses in Hosea 4 (1-3)…

Hear the word of the LORD, you Israelites,
because the LORD has a charge to bring
against you who live in the land:
“There is no faithfulness, no love,
no acknowledgment of God in the land.
There is only cursing, lying and murder,
stealing and adultery;
they break all bounds,
and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
Because of this the land dries up,
and all who live in it waste away;
the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky
and the fish in the sea are swept away.
(NIV)

I guess we’re the Israelites…

Oh, and if you listen/watch long enough, there’s a message from Paul to atheists… he wants to grab you guys by the nap of the neck…
