The below verse is from the Gospel of Luke wherein Jesus forewarned us of the signs indicating the end of the age. There have been many and varied suppositions posed as to what is "what is coming on the world" relative to the the "roaring and tossing of the sea."
With clarity, we can now see that all the suppositions through all the years and by so many people never took something like the Gulf oil spill into account.
When the hurricanes come (aka "roaring and tossing of the sea") and agitate the oil and bring it inland there will be MUCH anguish and anxiety as the vegetation/crops are killed and the drinking water is contaminated by the oil rain seeping into the water table.

Luke 21:25."...On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world...."
This is indeed worrisome and heart wrenching for even the heartiest among us. The verse following Luke 21:26 is, however, not only reassuring, but exuberating for those who belong to Christ:
27At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
So, may we bear this in mind and in our hearts, not be troubled, but trust God in all things as all of this was all determined to happen from the beginning of the world.
