Dead birds and dead fish do appear in Bible, which is open interpretation. Depending on how you decipher it, some may think that the dead birds and dead fish are considered warnings in the Bible of mans demise. With more reports of dead birds in Sweden today, along with new reports of fish dying by the millions in Maryland, Brazil, and New Zealand, the Bible verse may be of interest to some. More reports are coming in today of both birds and fish being found around the globe, according to the Huffington Post.
A reader from Essex Connecticut wrote in to say that dead birds and dead fish are mentioned in two verses of the Bible. They are found in both Hosea 4:1-3 and Ecclesiastes 9:12. Both the verses do make mention of the dead fish and birds and it also mentions man’s demise, basically from his own doing in the same verses. it may be a stretch to reference these Bible verses to the dead birds and dead fish found around the globe today, but that would be up to the individual.
Hosea 4:1-3 - Speaks about the lack of faithfulness, love, or acknowledgment of God. There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery. It also says there is bloodshed and more bloodshed with each other. Then it says, “because of this the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea are swept away,” according to the website Bible Gateway.
In Ecclesiastes 9:12 - “For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them,” according to the website Biblios.
Sweden is reporting a flock of fallen dead birds today and thousands more were reported in three US States in the last few days. This is extraordinary when, you take into consideration the millions of dead fish in the Chesapeake Bay today, with Brazil and New Zealand also reporting dead fish surfacing in the last few days. The Arkansas River had hundreds of thousands of dead fish washing up along a twenty mile stretch in the last few days also.
Mike B. from Essex Connecticut wrote in and said that although the bible does not specifically say that dead birds and dead fish are a sign, there are two bible verses that contain the subjects of dead birds and dead fish.
Connecticut had a similar dead fish phenomonom back in 1895 when the New York Times newspaper printed the story. Connecticut lakes were filled with dead fish from “fish cholera,” as the old fishermen called it. Without the sanitation technology that is in place today, the rotting fish tainted the water and created a foul odor, NY Times 1895 These fish phenomonoms are not uncommon, the many around the globe today, coupled with the many dead bird reports are extraordinary. These many incidents do not usually happen all at once.

Jehovahs day of vengeance against the nations looms. Praise jah! You people.
Birds have fallen from the skies in the 70's and 80's .. in CT in either 79 or 81 .. texas on feb 6th of 1980 ....also google operation black bird.. and their were aerial spraying of the united states citizens admitted between 49-69 .. article in bbc news 2002 .. this is our government bottom line..
So how is it happening all over the world?
"Bible" is a proper noun and as such should be capitalized (as in "Koran").
I think the word should be "phenomena" and not "phenomonoms."
And as for why these events are occurring around the world, the recurring explanation not mentioned in this article is the recent extremely cold temperatures. You may not buy that, but it has been suggested in almost every other article.
Where's the global warming? Wasn't that a confirmed, absolute fact not that long ago? How about those that said it was a fact, and those that believe it was, and still is a fact get up on top of a tall building and follow the birds to a better place. Where is this "better place," you might ask? It's right here, right after they all follow the birds. A MUCH better place. Global warming. I can't stop laughing.
I think God is speaking to us as he did in the bible and I really think people are begining to listen. We need to change our ways . I think our loving God is sad about the way people are living their lives today.
Is this the beginning of the 2012 process? Are these events the first signs? I do not believe that 12-21-2012 will be just one single event in itself, but perhaps the only the date of the planitorial alignment that begins a new Age of our time. All things have a process. All life has a process. Even magor and casistrofic events start somewhere before they take place; un-noticed, un-seen, un-mentioned. The process of time. The process of an ever changing existance on our little blue marble in the universe.
In the Talmud, Hosea is criticized for not standing up for Israel despite her sins. God tests Hosea: marry a woman of harlotry, have her kids, and then divorce her. Hosea is unable, and God responds:'If this be the case for you, whose wife is of harlotry and whose children may not even be your own, how should it be with Israel, who are my children, children of my tests, children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, one my most precious possessions in this world, and you said to replace them with another people?" http://bit.ly/exp9ix
Dead sea creatures were actually prophesied in Revelation 8:9 "A third of the living creatures in the sea died..."
