Revelations 13:16-18 “Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.”

Important Takeaways:

• America’s aging infrastructure sags under the pressure of climate change
• The United States is consistently falling short on funding infrastructure maintenance. A report by former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volcker’s Volcker Alliance in 2019 estimated the U.S. has a US$1 trillion backlog of needed repairs.
• Over 220,000 bridges across the country—about 33% of the total—require rehabilitation or replacement.
• A water main break now occurs somewhere in the U.S. every two minutes, and an estimated 6 million gallons of treated water are lost each day.
• This is happening at the same time the western United States is implementing water restrictions amid the driest 20-year span in 1,200 years.
• Similarly, drinking water distribution in the United States relies on over 2 million miles of pipes that have limited life spans.
• Over 2 million people in the United States lack access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.
• Much of the world’s infrastructure was designed for an environment that no longer exists. The historic precipitation levels, temperature profiles, extreme weather events and storm surge levels those systems were designed and built to handle are now exceeded on a regular basis.
