Believers are often reminded that God speaks through Scripture, but Pastor Troy Brewer says the Lord is also revealing His voice through numbers, names and even historical events. By learning to recognize these prophetic patterns, Christians can better understand what God is doing in their own lives today.

Brewer, pastor of Open Door Church in Burleson, Texas, recently shared in his Numbers That Prophesy series that biblical numbers carry significant meaning and are often connected to moments when God radically changes the course of history.

“All the way through the Word of God, 120 is when God shows up and changes everything,” Brewer said. “It took Noah 120 years to build the ark. Moses was 120 years old, and then God killed him and buried him. How many people were in the upper room when the Holy Ghost came? There you go.”

Brewer teaches that prophetic understanding is not limited to seeing the future. He believes the primary role of prophetic people is to hear what God is saying in the present. “The largest percentage of the role and the responsibility of people who operate in prophetic gifts is not about foresight,” he said. “It’s about being able to look at the things that are going on right now and say, ‘This is what the Word of God is. This is what the Lord is saying.’”

This perspective, Brewer says, is rooted in Romans 1:20, which declares that God’s invisible qualities “are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made.” He explains, “God’s clearly speaking through everything going on around us. If that was a dream, what would it mean? If that was a dream, I’d search it out. Well, I don’t have to dream this, this is happening right here in front of me.”

He also encourages Christians to pay attention to names and historical details, pointing out that they often hold a prophetic message. Using Mount Everest as an example, Brewer said, “Everest is a prophetic name. It speaks of eternity, ‘ever rest.’ The tallest mountain in the world named Everest is 29,029 feet tall, and 29 represents mountains in the Bible. That’s not coincidence; that’s God speaking.”

For Brewer, this way of seeing deepens a believer’s awareness that the Lord is active in the details of life. “If you can begin to see the numbers that prophesy around you, God will show up and change everything,” he said. “You’ll never be the same again.”

The biblical story of the Nephilim—giant hybrid beings born from the union of supernatural “sons of God” and human women—is often misunderstood or dismissed. Yet, as Mondo Gonzales from Prophecy Watchers explains, the text is “so crystal clear” about these creatures existing as “nonhuman beings.”

This phrase “sons of God” appears in Genesis 6, Job and other passages, and consistently refers to these supernatural beings. These sons of God saw the daughters of men, found them beautiful, and “came down and mated with human women, producing these hybrid offspring, which are called Nephilim,” Gonzales explains.

The concept of a “seed war” introduced in Genesis 3:15 adds another layer to this narrative. Here, God declares, “there’s going to be enmity between you and the woman and between Satan’s seed and the woman’s seed.” The seed of the woman refers to the coming Messiah, Jesus, but there is also a literal offspring of the serpent, representing evil spiritual offspring. Gonzales points out, “the seed of the woman, which is Jesus… but you’d also have offspring of the serpent in a physical way.”

After the flood, giants and hybrids reappear, as Moses recounts in Deuteronomy and Joshua. “The land of Canaan is filled” with these giants—Raphaim, Anakim and others. God commands Israel to destroy these giant clans to claim their promised inheritance. The story culminates in the familiar encounter of David and Goliath, showing that these beings persisted throughout biblical history.

Importantly, Jesus’ statement in Matthew 24 that His return will be “like the days of Noah” was marked by “supernatural intervention into humanity genetically and other things. It was complete chaos,” Gonzales notes.

The ancient understanding of this supernatural corruption is reflected in New Testament references in Jude and 2 Peter, which quote from or allude to the Book of Enoch, a widely known text at the time describing angelic rebellion and judgment.

What about today? The biblical narrative offers a framework to interpret modern phenomena such as cryptids, UFOs and transhumanism. These “strange creatures” and technological efforts to alter humanity can be seen as echoes of that ancient “seed war” and spiritual corruption.

Join Charisma Magazine Online to follow everything the Holy Spirit is doing around the world!

Gonzales notes, “when Jesus said like the days of Noah, don’t read this like a 21st-century American Christian… think of it as a time when supernatural beings were mingling with humans.” The lessons are clear: spiritual deception and genetic corruption preceded judgment then—and may be happening now in different forms.

As believers, this calls for discernment and awareness of the cosmic battle playing out in history. The “days of Noah” remind us that spiritual chaos is not just ancient history but a present reality, demanding a firm stand in faith as we await Christ’s return.

Storms come to everyone. Whether emotional, spiritual or physical, trials reveal the foundation upon which we are building our lives. Matt Cruz, a full-time minister with over a decade of experience, shares how God used storms in his life to expose shaky foundations and lead him into deeper healing and maturity.

Cruz began preaching at 19 and went full-time around 21. Early on, doors opened, his social media presence grew and he experienced great influence. Yet, despite the outward success, his foundation was unstable. In an interview with Charisma Media, he explains how Jesus compares those who build on rock versus sand. When storms hit, only the house on the rock stands.

“My foundation was shaky,” Matt admits. “I was leading while leaking—broken inside and bound by rejection.” It was a painful season, but it drove him closer to Jesus and healing. Without that pain, he says, he would never have found his true strength.

Because of the hardships he endured, Cruz is now able to give practical advice for weathering storms, such as:

• Recognize God’s relentless pursuit of you.
• Building your altar in private through daily prayer and repentance.
• Respond to conviction, not condemnation.
• Stay alert and sober-minded, avoiding isolation and distraction (1 Peter 5:8).

Storms often lead to seasons of waiting, which many find hard. “I used to get mad at God for delays, but now I thank Him for protecting me,” Cruz says. Waiting seasons are God’s way of maturing us and aligning our desires with His will. “He doesn’t give us what we want; He gives us what we need to want.” Over time, our desires shift toward something greater: His presence.

Cruz also warns of the danger of “cheap substitutes” — lesser lovers and temporary solutions that fill the void when we drift from God. He uses King David’s fall with Bathsheba as an example: even a mighty worshiper became vulnerable when he distanced himself from God’s presence.

To avoid this, he emphasizes cultivating a vibrant relationship with God. “Keep the fire on the altar burning, never letting it go out,” he urges, quoting Leviticus 6:12. This requires daily intentionality, repentance and fellowship.

At one point, Cruz realized he was working hard for God without truly sitting with God. He lacked the “burning bush” encounter Moses had before his assignment. “God was calling me back to the burning bush—to recharge spiritually,” he explains. The church can be a charging station, but real power comes from private time with God.

In life’s storms, God reveals what our foundation truly is. Spiritual maturity isn’t about external success but about who we are to God. Waiting seasons transform us and align us with His perfect will. Keeping the fire of God burning in our hearts through intimate fellowship, repentance and vigilance enables us to stand firm—built on the rock that is Christ.

If you’ve ever wondered why modern churches rarely show the kind of dramatic encounters with demons that Jesus and the apostles faced in the Bible, you’re not alone. Everywhere Jesus went, Scripture records demons shrieking through people and being cast out. Yet today, especially in many churches across the United States, it often feels like the demonic is barely discussed, much less confronted. So, is the Bible wrong? Are demons just not active anymore?

Mike Signorelli, featured on Kap Chatfield’s Directed Life podcast, offers one of the best explanations for this puzzling reality. “It’s like this weird fear of they’re going to think that I’m ‘that guy,’” he says, referring to pastors and church leaders avoiding the topic of demons. But he challenges this silence head-on: “If you’re a Christian, you’re already in on psychopathic level crazy. You believe that a teenage girl was impregnated by a spirit and conceived a human named Jesus.”

To order Kap Chatfield’s new book, The Power to Prosper, visit .

Signorelli points out that the ministry of deliverance was not just a part of Jesus’ work but continued through the apostles. “It was predominantly this stuff,” he says, emphasizing how much of the gospel narrative revolves around healing and spiritual warfare. For instance, he cites Acts 19: “They’re praying over handkerchiefs because they don’t have phones… When they touched the handkerchiefs, they were healed of diseases and unclean spirits came out of them.”

He warns against reducing these accounts to mystical superstition or novelty. “I truly believe the heart behind it wasn’t ‘let me get some kind of mystical object that holds power.’ I really believe the point was we believe so much that people need to be free from the influence of demons and that they can be healed that we will do whatever we can to get a point of contact to them.”

One reason for the lack of visible deliverance in many churches today is that they have “cut out 95%” of the Bible’s supernatural content. “They became almost like self-help gurus minus the supernatural,” Signorelli explains. But he encourages believers to return to the full biblical narrative: “What if we just actually teach the scriptures no matter how awkward it gets? It produced a lot of fruit.”

Signorelli also shares powerful testimony of healing through modern ministry, including online platforms. He recalls praying for a woman with multiple sclerosis (MS) during a YouTube livestream. “Immediately, she feels mental clarity, pain subside from her body. She felt like she was healed.”

Importantly, Signorelli balances faith and medicine: “I encourage you to go to your doctor to get the verification of what I believe could happen right now.” He stresses that healing and deliverance were “normal occurrences” in the early church, grounded in faith and God’s power, not on the minister.

Ultimately, Mike Signorelli’s insight invites the church today to embrace a fuller understanding of spiritual ministry — one that includes healing, deliverance and confronting the demonic, just as Jesus and the apostles did. The supernatural is not a relic of the past but a living reality, waiting for believers with faith and boldness to step into it.

Former psychic medium Jenn Nizza is warning parents that occult practices are becoming increasingly accessible and normalized through social media and pop culture.

“Our culture is so plagued,” Nizza told CBN’s Billy Hallowell during the National Religious Broadcasters Convention. “My biggest concern would be social media making the occult, making the new age so accessible and the illusion of it. Attacking the youth, coming for the youth.”

Nizza pointed to platforms like Instagram and TikTok, where “crystals and manifesting are huge” and tarot card readers and psychic mediums can be found “right at the click of a button.” She also expressed concern about satanic imagery in the entertainment industry, saying, “Satan is just putting it right in everybody’s face. It’s right there attacking the kids with the Grammy shows, the Olympics.”

According to Nizza, one of the greatest deceptions is portraying evil as entertainment. “It makes you think, ‘Oh, well he’s not really real, he’s not really there,’” she said. “That’s the biggest deception there is.”

She cautioned that not all occult influences look dark or threatening, noting that “friendly” TV mediums such as Theresa Caputo or Netflix personalities still “talk to the same demons” as those practicing openly gothic witchcraft. “People are deceived and the enemy is going to deceive people however he can do it,” she said.

Nizza, who left the psychic industry after becoming a Christian, urged parents to be vigilant. “We’re not promised tomorrow,” she said. “We’ve got to stand firm for the truth today.”

There is an unmistakable sense across the world today that something is profoundly wrong. As Rabbi Kirt Schneider observed, “Everybody knows right now that something is uncanny in terms of what is going the secular world… knows that something isn’t right, that there’s a sense of doom and gloom.”

The good news for God’s people is that we are not left in confusion. Jesus warned us in advance, saying, “when we see these things happening, we should look up because our redemption is drawing nigh.” This prophetic word takes us back to the very beginnings of Scripture to find clarity in the end times.

Starting with the book of Genesis, Schneider discusses the parallels between what happened in the days of Noah, and what we will see during the end times. “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah,” Schneider notes from Jesus’ warning. To understand what this means for us today, we must look closely at the world during Noah’s time.

Genesis 6 paints a bleak picture: “The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was continually only evil.” The earth was so corrupted that God was “sorry that He had made man” and “it grieved Him in His heart.” Schneider says that God is emotionally affected by the choices of mankind. “…we can hurt God. We can grieve God.”

Just as God was grieved by the rampant corruption and violence, the world today is similarly defiled. Schneider discusses how the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, for example, featured “a parody, a demonic parody of the last supper… dressed up in drag, men dressed up as women, women dressed up as men… so defiled, so corrupt, so unnatural.” This echoes the darkness of Noah’s days.

The message closes with Jesus’ own declaration from Revelation: “Behold, I’m coming quickly.” Believers are called to “be ready… keep your light burning… keep oil in your flask.” The bridegroom is waiting for those who are passionately in love with Him, not for the lukewarm.

As we witness increasing moral decay and cultural corruption reminiscent of the days of Noah and Lot, the call for believers is clear: to live with vigilance, faith and wholehearted devotion to Jesus.

The signs around us point to His imminent return, urging us to keep our spiritual lamps trimmed and our hearts focused on Him. In these challenging times, staying rooted in God’s Word and living ready is not just wise—it is essential.

President Donald Trump has launched a sweeping plan to restore law and order in Washington, D.C., with plans of deploying the National Guard, federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department and vowing to reclaim the nation’s capital from decades of lawlessness.

Calling Monday “Liberation Day in D.C.,” Trump announced at the White House that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi will directly oversee the city’s police force under his executive order, which cites the federal authority to intervene when “special conditions of an emergency nature exist.” His goal, he said, is to “help re-establish law, order, and public safety” in the district.

It’s “Liberation Day” in Washington, ://

“The murder rate in Washington today is higher than Bogota, Colombia, and Mexico City,” Trump said, pointing to alarming statistics on car thefts, carjackings, and violent assaults. “Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people.”

Beyond policing, Trump plans to repair deteriorating infrastructure, clear homeless encampments, and target policies he says have fueled the crisis, from D.C.’s sanctuary city status to the abolition of cash bail. His message is clear that the nation’s capital must be both safe and honorable again.

The Hidden Crime Problem

The president’s tough talk comes amid growing evidence that D.C.’s crime statistics have been deliberately manipulated to create the illusion of improvement.

Cmdr. Michael Pulliam of the Metropolitan Police Department was placed on administrative leave in May, just days after filing a discrimination complaint. According to the police union, the department has been reclassifying serious crimes, such as shootings and armed assaults, into lesser offenses that don’t appear on daily crime reports or in FBI statistics.

Pre-order Jonathan Cahn’s Newest Book, “The Avatar” on !

Fraternal Order of Police Chairman Gregg Pemberton said supervisors routinely downgrade reports: “Instead of taking a report for a shooting or a stabbing or a carjacking, they will order that officer to take a report for a theft or an injured person to the hospital.”

Pemberton called the city’s claim that violent crime is down 28% this year “preposterous,” insisting the numbers are being cooked to mislead the public. “This is deliberately done,” he said, warning that the real crime crisis is far worse than officials admit.

A Biblical Parallel: Tearing Down the High Places

Trump’s effort to reclaim Washington from lawlessness carries a striking parallel to the history of ancient Israel. In the Old Testament, Israel’s kings faced moments of national decay, times when corruption, idolatry, and moral collapse threatened the very survival of the nation. Some kings allowed these “high places” of pagan worship to remain, letting sin and cultural rot spread unchecked.

But the righteous kings, men like Hezekiah and Josiah, took decisive action. They didn’t just talk about reform; they tore down the high places, smashed the idols and restored worship according to God’s ways (2 Kings 18:4; 2 Kings 23:13-14). When these leaders confronted sin directly, the nation experienced revival and blessing. When they failed, decline and judgment soon followed.

In many ways, America’s high places today are not just stone altars to false gods but entrenched systems of crime, corruption and moral decay that eat away at the nation’s soul. For decades, Washington, D.C., has been run by leaders whose soft-on-crime policies and political ideologies have allowed lawlessness to flourish.

Trump’s crackdown, from confronting manipulated crime data to sending in forces to restore order, mirrors the biblical pattern of a leader who removes what is evil so that what is good can stand. Just as Israel’s kings fought to turn the hearts of the people back to righteousness, Trump is taking on the entrenched powers that have let America’s capital become a byword for chaos.

Fighting the Decay

The manipulation of crime statistics in D.C. is more than a numbers game; it is a deception that hides the true depth of the problem from the American people. Like the false prophets of old who told Israel “peace, peace” when there was no peace (Jer. 6:14), city officials are soothing the public with claims of safety while violence festers in the streets.

Join Charisma Magazine Online to follow everything the Holy Spirit is doing around the world!

Trump’s plan is not merely about aesthetics or policing, it’s about stopping the decay that has rotted away the heart of the nation. If the capital city remains lawless, corrupt and unsafe, the entire country suffers. By confronting both the criminals on the street and the bureaucratic corruption in the system, Trump is waging a battle for the moral and cultural survival of America.

As Proverbs 29:2 declares, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people mourn.” Trump’s moves to clean up Washington are about more than politics, they are about restoring justice and safety in the heart of the Republic.

Prepared by Charisma Media Staff.

In recent years, a popular claim has surfaced among some Christians and commentators: Donald Trump is the rider of the white horse mentioned in Revelation 6:2, often identified as the Antichrist. But is this claim biblically sound? A careful study of Scripture and prophecy reveals that this is not the case.

James Kaddis, a Bible teacher focused on prophetic understanding, addresses this claim directly: “We have to be very careful about bringing these leaders into this unfounded levels of speculation when we can actually be driving conclusions that are not biblically based.” He urges believers to anchor every claim “in the authority of scripture,” quoting 1 Thessalonians 5:21, which says, “prove all things, hold fast to that which is good.”

Understanding the Timeline in Revelation

The key to this question lies in properly understanding the timeline presented in the book of Revelation. Kaddis points out that Revelation 1:19 clearly divides the prophetic timeline into three parts:

Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter.

He explains: “The first category, the things which thou hast seen, would be all of Revelation chapter 1. The things which are refer to Revelation chapters 2 and 3, which correspond to the church age — the era we are living in right now. And then the things which shall be hereafter start in Revelation chapter 4 and continue to the end.”

Order James Lasher’s Newest Book, The Revelation of Jesus, on !

Importantly, the events starting in chapter 4 happen after the church is raptured: “The moment John is taking all of this, we’re in Revelation chapter 1. The timeline that Revelation 2 and 3 speaks about is the era we are in right now… And then when we get into the things which shall be hereafter, that actually starts in Revelation 4.”

The rider on the white horse appears in Revelation 6:2, which is after the rapture and the heavenly scene. “The first seal which speaks of the rider of the white horse cannot appear until after the heavenly scene,” Kaddis explains, “and the heavenly scene hasn’t happened yet.”

The Church as the Restrainer

The Bible teaches that the Antichrist cannot be revealed until the church is removed. 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 states:

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work, only he now letteth will let until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that wicked be revealed…

Kaddis emphasizes:

The Holy Spirit’s restraining work through the church is the very thing that keeps lawlessness from going crazy… When Christians are taken off this earth, lawlessness will abound in ways this world has never seen.

Geographical and Prophetic Details

Scripture indicates that the Antichrist emerges from a revived Roman Empire, a Mediterranean-centered confederation of ten kings. “Donald Trump is a Gentile. Check. But he doesn’t come from Rome,” Kaddis says. “No such ten-nation block presently rules, and Trump has only led one nation.”

Additionally, the Antichrist will confirm a seven-year covenant related to temple worship. But “the Abrahamic Accords don’t speak of that… We don’t have a rebuilt Jewish temple with sacrifices right now, which are necessary for the covenant’s midpoint desecration,” he notes.

The Antichrist will publicly claim deity inside this temple, demanding worship (2 Thess. 2:4), but Trump has “made no such claim nor stepped into any temple as God.”

Why Trump Does Not Fit the Rider of the White Horse

Trump’s political career and persona do not fit the biblical profile of the Antichrist. He has not claimed divine status, does not rule a global confederation and is active during the church age — before the rapture must occur.

Join Charisma Magazine Online to follow everything the Holy Spirit is doing around the world!

Kaddis summarizes, “Any leader already on the world stage prior to the rapture, Donald Trump included, likely isn’t going to be the Antichrist.” He calls believers to exercise discernment:

Prove all things, hold fast to that which is good… We want to cling to those things and we want to take our focus away from all of those things that aren’t real and aren’t true.

In short, the rider of the white horse in Revelation is a future figure who will only be revealed after the church has been raptured, ushering in the tribulation period—a time yet to come.

Rabbits that have “black, tentacle-like protrusions coming from their heads” are being spotted all over Fort Collins, Colorado and many local residents are extremely concerned about this. Some people are jokingly referring to them as “mutant rabbits”, but there is nothing funny about the tremendous tragedy that we are witnessing. A nightmarish plague is infecting rabbits in Colorado and elsewhere, but like so many other horrifying pestilences that are spreading among wild animals it has gone under the radar because it is not affecting humans.

How would you feel if “tentacle-like growths” started growing out of your face?

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

Sadly, that is precisely what is happening to large numbers of rabbits in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Residents in Fort Collins have been spotting something unusual while walking in their neighborhoods: rabbits that appear to have tentacle-like growths on their faces.

KUSA reached out to Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the NOCO Humane Society about the unusual bunnies.

I had never heard about this before, and so I decided to look into it, and what I discovered is truly heartbreaking.

According to one local resident, a rabbit that looks like it has “black quills or black toothpicks sticking out all around his or her mouth” has been hanging around her property. She thought that the disease would kill it last winter, but that didn’t happen.

Recently residents in southeast Fort Collins began noticing the unusual-looking rabbits, including 9NEWS Northern Colorado reporter Amanda Gilbert. Susan Mansfield said she saw a rabbit with black spines or “quills” around its mouth.

“It looks like it was black quills or black toothpicks sticking out all around his or her mouth,” Mansfield said. “I thought he would die off during the winter, but he didn’t. He came back a second year, and it grew.”

One person described the rabbit as having “a scabbiesh-looking growth over their face.”

Since most people that are seeing these rabbits have no idea what is causing this disease, there is quite a bit of panic.

Pre-order Jonathan Cahn’s Newest Book, “The Avatar” on !

Apparently this disease has spread quite widely among rabbits in the region, and authorities are telling us that it is caused by a virus.

Some rabbits spotted in Fort Collins are showing alarming growths described as black, tentacle-like protrusions coming from their heads.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) confirms the cause is a virus.

The condition is not dangerous to humans or pets, CPW said, but they urge people to avoid approaching or touching the animals.

They say that there is no danger to humans, but we are supposed to completely avoid touching the rabbits?

That sounds like a mixed message to me.

The virus that is affecting these rabbits is known as “Shope papillomavirus”, and it is most commonly found in the Midwest.

According to the University of Missouri, the condition, called rabbit (Shope) papillomavirus, is a DNA virus “seen most frequently in cottontail rabbits of the Midwest with outbreaks in domestic rabbits.”

Officials advised residents to leave the rabbits alone, as they would with any wildlife.

The virus, which resembles warts or benign cancerous cells, has no cure, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Despite the alarming appearance, the agency assures that the rabbits are not a threat to other animals or humans.

There is no cure for this disease.

So once a rabbit catches it, that rabbit will have it until death.

A highly contagious hemorrhagic disease has also been spreading among rabbits in the United States.

In fact, earlier this year there was a significant outbreak of this hemorrhagic disease in Oregon.

A highly contagious and deadly virus has been found in domestic rabbits in southern Oregon, according to the Oregon Department of Agriculture.

The agency identified the virus, known as Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus, after the owner of a Douglas County rabbitry reported multiple sudden rabbit deaths to a veterinarian last week.

State officials confirmed the diagnosis on Monday after lab tests at Oregon State University’s Veterinary Diagnostics Laboratory. Most of the rabbits at the property have died. The few that remain are now under strict quarantine.

There have also been multiple cases in neighboring Washington state.

The state veterinarian’s office at the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) has confirmed the presence of a lethal rabbit virus, Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus type 2 (RHDV2), in rabbits found on Lopez and Orcas Islands.

Highly contagious among rabbits, RHDV2 has been identified as the cause of death in several cases after tests conducted by the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Washington State University came back positive on Thursday.

But nowhere has been hit harder than Texas.

Since 2020, there have been confirmed cases of this hemorrhagic disease in 35 different Texas counties.

Multiple black-tailed jackrabbits have tested positive for Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus 2 in Runnels County.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department officials provided notification of the positive results Tuesday, saying “this marks the 35th county in the state to have a confirmed wild detection since March 2020.”

Wild and domestic rabbit species are all susceptible to Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease, which can result in symptoms such as dullness/lethargy, lack of appetite, bleeding from the nose and eyes or watery, congested eyes, however most affected rabbits are commonly found deceased.

As a society, we tend to have a very “human-centered” view of things.

So most people don’t even care that horrific pestilences have been running rampant among our animals.

The bird flu alone has killed more than 166 million commercial birds within the past several years.

Just think about that.

166 million birds are dead and most of us don’t consider it to be a big deal.
