Massive Power Outage

Imagine that the lights in your office or your house go out right now.  You look at your cell phone and there is no service.  You turn on the stove to start dinner and it's all dead.  You turn on the TV to find out what's happening and of course it won't come on.  You go to call the power company but since there is no cell service you can't call them.

You tell yourself that the power should come on in the next few minutes, but one day later it's still not on.  You get in your car and drive to town only to discover that there is no electricity anywhere.  By now your refrigerator is warm and your milk is warm and your butter is getting soft in the summer heat.  Your air conditioner doesn't work so the whole house is sweltering.  While in town you run into some friends from church.  People are wondering what they should do as finding out what has happened has been really hard with no phone service.

After a week, everyone has begun to panic.  The looting has started as the 2 million people from the big city 20 miles away have made their way down the highway to your town looking for food and fresh water.  Lawlessness explodes.

You can continue to play out the scenario in your head.  Electricity is our Achilles's heel.  Our civilization would melt down in 24-48 hours without it.

Do you think our enemies know this?

Today we are reading about a massive power outage in South America and wondering if it's more foreshadowing of what may be coming for America.

"A massive failure in the electrical interconnection system left all of Argentina and Uruguay without power," electricity supply company Edesur said in a tweet. 

Alejandra Martinez, a spokeswoman for the company, described the power cut as unprecedented. 
"This is the first time something like this has happened across the entire country," she said.

Citing official sources, Argentine media reported that the outage was linked to a failure in the transmission of electricity from the Yacycretá hydroelectric dam. 

One of Argentina's biggest water companies, Agua y Saneamientos Argentinos, warned those without power to conserve water, as the distribution of drinking water had been affected by the outage. 

Social media reports of the power outage were widespread - from the capital Buenos Aires in the north, to Mendoza in the west and Comodoro Rivadavia in the south, among many other cities. 

Residents posted pictures of dark towns and cities and long lines of cars queuing at petrol stations.
"Everything came to a halt. Elevators, water pumps, everything. We were left adrift," Juan Borges, who lives in Buenos Aires, told the BBC.

Yep!  Everything would come to a halt.  We have read that the expert prediction is a death toll in America of 70-90% after a few months without electricity.

We believe it.

It's just one other reminder of how helpless we are.  We are at the mercy of God every single day.  When he finally says ENOUGH...it won't take long for lawlessness to reign.
