After the plague of frogs in Egypt. When Moses finally asked God to stop the plague, billions of "frogs died in the houses, in the courtyards and in the fields. They were piled into heaps, and the land reeked of them" (Exodus 8:13-14).


When King Solomon brought the ark of the Lord's covernat (not Noah's ark) to Jerusalem. The people sacrificed "so many sheep and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted" (1 Kings 8:5). Imagine all the blood and animal carcasses.


The morning after the angel of the Lord put to death 185,000 Assyrians. The Assyrian soldiers were camped around Judah and were intent on taking Jerusalem, but "when the people got up the next morning--there were all the dead bodies!" (2 Kings 19:35-36).


In the last days when a third of the earth will burn up. All the grass will burn up, a third of the water will turn to blood, a third of the ships will be destroyed, a third of the creatures in the sea will die, a third of the rivers and springs will turn bitter, and many people will die from the bitter water (Revelation 8:7-9). 1
