What next, locusts?
The debt-laden Greeks must sometimes feel they have angered the gods.
Telegraph, London – May 26, 2010
Even though a good deal of their financial pain is self-inflicted, the debt-laden Greeks must sometimes feel they have angered the gods. Their ancient forebears would certainly have thought so after a plague of frogs descended on a motorway in northern Greece yesterday, causing accidents and blocking the road for hours.
The police claim that millions of the amphibians had left a lake near Thessaloniki to look for food,but another explanation occurs, too.
In the Bible, Egypt teemed with frogs after its rulers provoked the divine wrath – the second of the 10 plagues prophesied by Moses. Financial meltdown was not among them, though an epidemic of livestock death came close.
By that logic, the Greeks should only really start to worry when their rivers turn to blood and locusts darken the sky.
More and more secular sources are including biblical language in reporting the news. But contrary to the first article above, the 10 plagues most certainly caused a financial meltdown in Egypt, though they did not have the same type of financial meltdown that Greece is having–in Egypt it was worse as the plagues led to real food shortages as well as the death of the firstborn.
Millions of frogs in part of Greece surely are reminiscent of the fact that God caused a plague of frogs in Egypt thousands of years ago.
Wars, famines, and pestilences are expected in the very near future as part of the beginning of sorrows (Matthew 24:7-8).
