    Anyone talking about the root cause of the algae bloom. Lake Okeechobee should be a filter for water quality not a cause of contamination. Through miss management of our Florida government and agriculture (spraying, water level management, fertilizers) we are destroying a lake that is a key stone in our SOFL water system.

      @@kennethhill2014 fertilizer Ik it’s not perfect but we rely on the cane to live Im from muck city. Sugar does pollute some but it’s south of the lake . It’s not the sugar that’s bad it actually created greenspace for wildlife it’s just the run off from fertilizer . The people complaining are the people who move down to south Florida . In the 80s most of the coast and south Florida wasn’t developed. Because the glades (Harlem, Belle Glade, pahokee ext ) are so poor they’re ok with buying back our land

    Please read as to what I'm convinced would heal the water-
    Seeing the Kingdom clearer and clearer
    Letting sea in and forming mountains like Panama & Suez would have easy routes to countries. And if flowing, surely no need for concrete canals. Just an easy dredging job.
    Here, prophecy with clear rivers and constant flowing water with all the fish to make up the rainbow!! Eze 47:6-10; Re 22:1,2; 2Co 3:18

    So instead of concrete and dry deserts heating up the planet, greenery, flowing water everywhere would cool it down. And greenery, trees, flourishing everywhere with creatures in abundance would soak up all the water, again stopping sea level rise and starting a beautiful new world. A water cycle on earth as it is in heaven. The Salt Sea is the lowest sea below sea level showing that the sea does not go rushing quickly into the Salt Sea like mountain water everywhere would not go into the sea quickly as rivers could come to a stop where people may reside. Isa 35:1,6; 51:3; 55:12 (Ex 27:11; Le 25:6,7)
    De 11:11 But the land you are about to cross... of mountains and valley plains. It drinks the water that rains from the heavens.

    Everyone searches for 100% pure. That has to be with mountain water into fruit trees, crops and even drank by farm animals producing better milk. Then 'you are what you eat' feeling better from that farmacy. Joe 3:18; Am 9:13; Zec 9:17; Mt 26:29
    Talk about an earth ‘Flowing’ with milk and honey!
