III. 33% of the sea is polluted; the heavenly body causes the sea to be blood like. IV.

Perhaps this mountain will provide the iron molecule that will cause the sea water to become blood. V. 33% of all creatures in sea are killed and 33% of the ships. There are more than 25.000 merchant ships registered today, more than 8300 ships would be destroyed. VI. The fishing industry and cargo industry is judged. Zeph.1:3 VII.
