This oil spill may not be the event talked about in Apocalyptic literature regarding the events preceding the return of the Messiah. However, it is almost perfectly clear that this COULD be the type of event that WILL take place to turn the sea to blood and destroy most or all of the life in it. Take heed and see the picture, if you think that oily marshland doesn’t look like bloody water, get some glasses!!

Revelation 16:3
This prophecy from Revelation 8 specifies that it’s likely a volcano, i know there were fears of nuclear detonation to “stop the leak” in the oil pipe, seriously stupid and not likely to happen but i’ve seen more dumb things in my life! This particular prophecy looks most like the description of a volcano with an insanely massive explosion destroying lots of stuff and the sea as well!:
8Then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea. One-third of the water in the sea became blood, 9one-third of all things living in the sea died, and one-third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed.
Don’t fear my brothers we are near these times but we need not be frightened of the terror by night!
Psalm 91
91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say [1] to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my refuge [2]—
10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder;
the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.
14 “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
15 When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
Shalom!
