THE CRAZY MONTH OF MARCH! WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING?

God, the Bible, sinkholes, fireball meteors, and snowy March 2013 weather buzz (Photos)

It's no wonder that Alexa.com tracks an article titled "Hand of God in Weather" on Weather.com as one of the most popular articles at the moment. What, with snow covering large parts of the U.S. this close to April and unseasonal weather hitting as far as the U.K., people are wondering what's going on.
There are sinkholes and fireball meteors that have people searching and commenting beneath YouTube videos of the latest phenomenon if these oddities don't seem to be recurring in more frequent fashion, even while scientists claim they are all normal, and that we've only been made more away of them due to news coverage of "close calls" like the Russian meteor.
A steady gainer is the Examiner piece titled "California fireball, Russian meteor, 2013 asteroid: God's end of world warning?" -- having garnered nearly 5,000 page views alone last month, according to Google Analytics.
Indeed, people are wondering what these seemingly frequent sinkhole occurrences have to do with God and the Bible, so that's where this reporter turned. The word "sinkhole" itself couldn't be found in Scripture, however, incidences of sinkhole like instances can be found by searching "earth opened" site:bible.cc in Google.
That turns up various instances whereby the "earth swallowed" up evil men, or a Revelation passage wherein the "…the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth."
Meteors, on the other hand, are mostly mentioned in biblical commentary -- ones that state the fireballs or "falling stars," as they were sometimes called, denoted a sign of evil times in the Bible.
Of course some of the most popular remembrances of meteors falling from the sky and fireballs hitting the earth in the Bible are during the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah -- "Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire…" -- but also in the New Testament, during the passages about the signs of Christ's return:
"But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken," reads Matthew 24:29.
So it is interesting stuff, and the signs in the sky -- as well as searchers' interest on the web -- shows that people are not only looking at the changes in weather with a curious eye, but also a spiritual one.
