Mudslides after heavy rains have buried over 200 families in Sri Lanka. The disaster hit a remote area about 45 miles north of the capital city of Colombo after several days of heavy rain.
Some 180 people have been rescued and at least 27 are dead. More than 300 soldiers were deployed to search for survivors. The Red Cross says that 220 families are missing, which suggests that the death toll could increase dramatically.
The Disaster Management Ministry said that the heavy flooding throughout the country has displaced more the 73,000 families and over 160,000 have been evacuated from low-lying land to refugee camps.
“While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their maladies, [Satan] will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation. Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power… These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast.” The Great Controversy, pages 589-590.

Thursday May 26th, 2016 at 05:04 PMThe christian world celebrates that God took the form of humanity and was born as a fragil baby that later as an adult gave His life that we may have eternal life. Jesus died on the cross and back in those times the world did not recognized Him!!! some even told Him that He did his works in the name of the devil!!! but yet even today there are many that may think that it is God and not the enemy the one that causes all these catastrophes. Wake up!!! there’s someone very interested in messing up God’s work since the very beginning!!! someone that for his convenience prefers to remain anonymous or faking it. Who else? let’s face it!! good and evil exist… God and the devil exist. God came to die for us!! The devil causes all these catastrophies to blame God and make our faith too difficult or imposible. All this is written in the Word of God as signs of the end of times. The end is very near…
