A Swarm of Bees Descends On the White House

"Thousands of Bees" Swarm the White House
CNN- ...White House grounds were hit by an unexpected airborne threat. A swarm of honey bees took over a bush located between the Northwest security gate of the White House and the area where the television networks stand-up positions are located early Thursday. CNN photojournalist John Bodnar said he came through the Northwest security gate around 12:30pm and was warned about the bees by Secret Service on duty in the guard post.
"I walked out and thought it was a swirl of blossoms blowing in the wind, but turns out it was a swarm of bees," he says. "Half an hour later, they were still issuing warnings."

TheHill.com-    A swarm of "thousands of bees" gathered outside the White House this morning. The small army of insects hovered as President Barack Obama tried to leave the White House to play basketball at Fort McNair, according to the pool report. By the time the president returned at noon, the bees were apparently nowhere in sight.


Well... I'm not sure what to make of this yet. I heard the story, and remembered some scripture from Isaiah. I looked this up, and it also speaks of a swarm of flies. This made me think... wasn't there a swarm of flies around the white house a year ago???


Yes there was...

                                      Washington- The White House Is Bugged!

       No, not like that. But actual flies are swarming the place, confounding housekeepers, irritating   aides, even trying to feast on the President. During an east room interview with John Harwood for CNBC and the New York Times on Tuesday, a giant fly orbited Mr. Obama's head.
"I got the sucker" the president boasted after fatally slapping the critter on the back of his hand. That scene became an instant YouTube sensation...


White House staff members report that they and their boss have been routinely bothered by the bugs, and have seen the First Exterminator personally enforcing a no-fly zone in the West Wing. White House officials say that strenuous debugging measures have been undertaken in recent weeks: Anti-insect lights have been installed in the National Security Council suite and the lower press office...

Here's the scripture that came to mind:

Isaiah 7:
"The LORD will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since Ephraim broke away from Judah- he will bring the King of Assyria.


In that day the LORD will whistle for flies from the distant streams of Egypt and for the bees from the land of Assyria. They will all come and settle in the steep ravines and in the crevices in the rocks, on all the thornbushes, and at all the water holes. In that day the LORD will use a razor hired from beyond the River- the king of Assyria- to shave your head and the hair on your legs, and to take off your beards also."

What's so special about the King of Assyria?
1. It is one of the titles for the coming antichrist.
2. Assyria was used by the LORD as a rod of punishment against His people.

Isaiah 10

 ¹Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
 ²To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
 ³And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
 ⁴Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
 ⁵O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
 ⁶I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. (Isaiah 10:1-6, King James Version)


Was this a warning to the wise, or a simple coincidence at the White House??
