1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,400 This is a satellite image of Lake. 2 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:08,000 Mead in April, 20, 22. Can you see how there's a bone 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,600 sticking out of the water? Well, this is what that boat 4 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,700 looks like. Now to say that the Colorado 5 00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:20,000 River is a big deal would be a massive understatement. 6 00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:23,800 As we speak, there are 40 million straws drinking from 7 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,000 this River, but why are the stakes? 8 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000 So high? Not just for the USA. 9 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,400 But for the entire world, if this River dries up and is it 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,400 true that the Waters of Lake? Mead a currently, rising will, 11 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,800 stay tuned because you're about to find out all of this and More 12 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,100 in 1922 an agreement between the seven Southwest states. 13 00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:49,800 Took place to proportion out. This 1450 mile River to each 14 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,200 state. They call this agreement, the 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,100 Colorado River compact. However, what you're probably 16 00:00:56,100 --> 00:01:00,700 aware of is, since 1922 the population has Drastically 17 00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:03,700 increased, but the rainfall has not. 18 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,500 And these two things couple together has left. 19 00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:11,200 Many people rather concerned about the future of this, very 20 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,200 precious River, but what if everyone's worst nightmare came 21 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,400 true. What if the Colorado River dried 22 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,600 up? How would this affect? 23 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,800 Not only the USA, but the entire world. 24 00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:27,000 Well, the fact is this Lake Mead Hoover Dam and 300 miles. 25 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,800 Upstream Lake Powell's Glen Canyon Dam. 26 00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:33,800 Creates an unbelievable amount of energy which serves the 27 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,300 southwest of America. These two reservoirs on the 28 00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:41,500 Colorado River. Produce 1.4 trillion dollars 29 00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:44,800 worth of economic activity through the power that they give 30 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,400 to these states. And if either of these two 31 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,900 reservoirs were to reach the point of being declared as 32 00:01:50,900 --> 00:01:55,400 Deadpool, meaning that no water can move past the hydroelectric, 33 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,200 Dam and produce energy. If that happens, the financial 34 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,200 implications Winds will be felt not only in America, but across 35 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,700 the whole world. But what exactly does this mean, 36 00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:08,900 Joe? Well, because quite literally 37 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,100 millions of people depend on the Colorado River for survival. 38 00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:16,500 If it dries up Suddenly there will not be the same amount of 39 00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:19,800 water, which people rely on to quench their thirst. 40 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,600 The will not be the same amount of water that people use to 41 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,700 water their lawns to power their homes. 42 00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:27,500 And by the way, did you know that the majority of the power 43 00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:31,700 that runs through Las Vegas Is from the Colorado River, the 44 00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:34,400 will not be the same water to wash and clean. 45 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,100 And perhaps the biggest impact of all, will be the impact 46 00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:40,800 agriculturally. If Farmers cannot grow. 47 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,400 Crops food imports, will stop in this region and this will lead 48 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,300 to even more worldwide shortage has the Earth, has never been 49 00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:54,100 under so much pressure. Oh, how we need to pray for more 50 00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:57,900 rain because scientists are now predicting that in just two 51 00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:02,500 years, time Lake, Mead could Roll a further, 30 feet can 52 00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:07,700 watch this in 2022. Mead reached an all-time record 53 00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:10,500 low. It was standing at one thousand 54 00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:15,600 and forty feet above sea level. That's 130 feet lower than it 55 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,100 was in the year 2000. And if you look here, you can 56 00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:22,600 see the evidence of this, you can see where the water wants 57 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,100 resided on these lines. And how quickly it has suddenly 58 00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:29,400 dropped. And if this rate continues once 59 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,700 again, America could see a historical Mass migration, where 60 00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:38,100 40 million, precious souls are forced to flee to the Midwest or 61 00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:42,500 to North America to try and find water and a better way of life. 62 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,800 This again, would shake up the whole world as people will be 63 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,600 forced to adapt. As food stores would suddenly 64 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,700 become overcrowded, as resources are strained, as houses becomes 65 00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:55,300 scarce, then the prices would rise which would lead to 66 00:03:55,300 --> 00:03:58,700 inflation and all of this combined could cause an 67 00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:02,100 America's economy. Me to crash and this will in 68 00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:06,100 turn destabilize other countries which could lead to a huge 69 00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:09,400 economic collapse around the world. 70 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,600 Now you can probably tell the man looking at you right now is 71 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,800 a warrior and perhaps I'm just overthinking everything. 72 00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:20,600 I mean you tell me am I making a mountain out of a molehill? 73 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,400 Especially since I'm living all the way over across the pond in 74 00:04:24,407 --> 00:04:26,200 Britain, what's it got to do with me? 75 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,500 Anyway, well, the truth is this since starting this YouTube 76 00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:33,000 channel, Channel, I have made genuine friendships with people 77 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,900 who live in these Southwestern States, and I'm concerned about 78 00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:40,200 the future of these people's lives and the future of their 79 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,100 children, but if you're in Britain, like me, don't think 80 00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:45,500 that you could just brush all of this onto the carpet. 81 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,500 I'll tell you why. What is our most famous river? 82 00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:51,400 The River Thames will. Hello, have you seen what is 83 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,800 happening to the River Thames recently? 84 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,600 If you want to know more about this, I'm actually going to make 85 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,700 a video on this so please do subscribe if that's something 86 00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:01,900 new. I want to see but what is the 87 00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:06,200 current situation of Lake Mead? Well, it is true that the water 88 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,700 levels have slowly started to rise. 89 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,100 If you look at this graph, we can still see that we're not out 90 00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:15,300 of the woods yet. In fact this last March that has 91 00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:18,400 just happened. The waters were an all-time 92 00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:20,400 record low. But why is this? 93 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,900 Because haven't we seen lots of rainfall and snow storms on the 94 00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:26,800 news recently. Well, this is true but because 95 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,700 the ground is so dry. It's so parched. 96 00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:34,200 Any water that finds itself on the ground is quickly absorbed 97 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,400 and you don't get that vital surface, runoff that is needed, 98 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,800 where it flows into the streams and tributaries and bulks out 99 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,900 the river. Now, I'm not an expert but I've 100 00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:46,300 been told there is still hope because just one or two more 101 00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:49,000 years of weather. Like what we've just seen and 102 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,200 the waters could quickly return. But ultimately only time will 103 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,600 tell what the future is for the Colorado River. 104 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,500 However, did you know that the Bible She described something 105 00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:04,000 very similar to what we've been talking about. 106 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,600 The scripture talks about surface, runoff job, 24 verse 19 107 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,800 says, that's drought and heat consumed the snow Waters. 108 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,300 So the grave consumes, those who have sinned, just like a snow 109 00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:23,500 pack on the Rocky Mountains. Once it hits that burning sand, 110 00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:27,600 once it hits that hot, drought it soon, dissolves it soon 111 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,500 swallowed by the Earth and here the Bible draws a similar 112 00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:34,800 picture of a harsh picture of the man or the woman who's lived 113 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,500 their life against God. As soon as they die, the grave 114 00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:42,500 takes all as soon as they die. They vanish silently beneath the 115 00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:45,600 Earth without leaving a trace behind. 116 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,200 Did you know the Hebrew word for consumed here? 117 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,600 Can also mean to Rob to tear Away by force. 118 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,300 So just like he seizes the snowy Waters in an instant. 119 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,000 So the grave sees his everything that a man or woman ever had All 120 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,700 the life they've lived, they may have been a towards, they may 121 00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:05,300 have flourished in life, they may have lived for many a 122 00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:09,200 bright, our, but when they enter into that grave, they lose 123 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,000 everything. Everything is taken from them in 124 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,400 one. Instant, here's a question for 125 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,500 you, what do Mac Miller? Kobe Bryant, Marilyn Monroe. 126 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,400 Paul Walker, Joan Rivers, Muhammad, Ali, Whitney, Houston. 127 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,600 And Stephen Hawking all have in common. 128 00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:31,300 Sadly, they are all dead. So you can have the brains of 129 00:07:31,300 --> 00:07:33,800 Stephen Hawking. You can have the beauty of 130 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,300 Marilyn Monroe, you can have the belts of Muhammad Ali and the 131 00:07:37,308 --> 00:07:40,800 bounce of Kobe Bryant, you can even have the Beats of Mac 132 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,900 Miller. And yet the grave claims, all 133 00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:47,500 the grave, will take everything you have without giving it a 134 00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:49,800 second. Thought to know what happens. 135 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,600 The moment after you are buried, people, stop crying. 136 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,600 And when they have a plate full of sandwiches and a drink in 137 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,700 their hand, there, quickly start discussing Sports. 138 00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:04,100 The news and their own problems and they soon forget that they 139 00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:07,600 are at your funeral. Straight after your funeral, 140 00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:12,400 your family will start arguing about who deserves what amounts 141 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,400 of money and whose possessions should be Cuts. 142 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,300 Because after all, they love you. 143 00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:21,700 The most, your boss will quickly look for a replacement for your 144 00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:25,400 job and your friends will soon fill up the evenings that you 145 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,500 used to spend with them with other activities and other 146 00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:32,500 people, you'll see. House will move on much faster 147 00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:36,600 than you could ever imagine, and your kids will laugh and fill 148 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,400 their lives with busyness to the point, where they easily 149 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,400 forgets, the one who raised them in the first year of your death. 150 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,700 Yes, you will have fresh flowers laid on your grave, but as the 151 00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:53,500 years go by those flowers will begin to wither like the memory 152 00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:58,700 of you in other people's minds. So let me ask you a question if 153 00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:01,900 people are So quick to Forget You. 154 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,600 Why do you spend your life chasing them? 155 00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:08,100 Instead of chasing the one who will never forget you. 156 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,600 The Bible says, even if my father and mother abandoned me 157 00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:18,200 the Lord cares for me, there is one who will never forget you. 158 00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:21,000 There is one who will never abandon you. 159 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,000 There is one that no man can ever compare to this person's 160 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,900 love for you. And this person is God, God 161 00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:29,700 doesn't love you because you're beautiful. 162 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,000 Sefolosha God doesn't love you because you've achieved great 163 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,700 things in this life. God doesn't love you because you 164 00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:39,200 have money. God loves you because he is God. 165 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,500 The Bible say, see what great love. 166 00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:47,000 The father has lavished on us. That we are called children of 167 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,600 God but here's the big question. Are you one of his children? 168 00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:56,800 Are you a child of God, have you received the love of God, the 169 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,700 Father where he demonstrated his love. 170 00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:03,100 Putting his son on a cross for your sin. 171 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,600 He see you and I have done wrong, things were Sinners, we 172 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,100 fail God every single day. And yet, God put his son on a 173 00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:14,700 cross, he prepared a sacrifice so that you and I could be 174 00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:18,200 forgiven, he see, just like, on those mountains, those Rocky 175 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,100 Mountains, when it snows, there's something rather 176 00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:24,100 beautiful about the snow.
