Ok I just found this on the net...not much of a surprise at this point...but you really should see this article...
It seems this last week in Africa...in the city of Philidelphia...(interesting in a Liberty bell church of revelations sort of way)
the following quote is reported in an article from March 17,2008 placed by the Cape Times:
"Residents blamed the sludge for the "plague of flies" that occurred daily. The stench from the sludge, that is sprayed on fields, is overwhelming.
A resident said sometimes there were so many flies it appeared the lawns were moving.
In spite of the summer heat, residents have to keep their windows shut to ward off the flies.
Farmworkers also said their children were getting sick because of the flies"

Now lest you think this happens all the time...I have monitoring the Web actively since March of Last year...and no...it doesn't but yes there are many articles on flies...still the evidence of Man's folly is prevalent in the article.
Flies
8:21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
It seems like there is a Plague of Flies in Scotland was reported in the last month as well...
Hopes raised over village flies plague
The Northern Scot, UK - Feb 22, 2008
RESIDENTS of Portgordon who have spent months swatting and spraying a plague of flies could soon get some relief from the insect infestation. ...

Again...I told you, I have monitoring for this periodically...and there have been very few truly sensational stories with the exception of an outbreak of "bloodsucking" black flies last summer in Madrid, reported on June 25, 2007
to have attacked and killed a calf...also resulting in Spain issuing warnings to it's citizens to Stay indoors or to Cover up if they must go outside.
Oh now there have been some...and some worthy of noting...that these plagues all timing themselves to occur illustrating that man himself could have avoided such...as the natural man would dismiss such to the woes of pursuing Civilization...dismissing the fact that Man has brought this on himself...and likewise overlooking the more important lesson that God has sent his messengers to help man avoid such...
I so pray this all foreshadow and not fulfillment. Still, I have witnessed a great deal...
Now this is very serious...last year, when Locust were called for...reports hit the web of
"The Worst Locust Outbreak since 1993" in Yemen.
Now, before I go further, last year when I called for Locusts...in the same timeframe a week prior I was told to speak "Flies" and I did for 3 days. About that time I saw a report of a preacher in Florida...I wrote it to a friend, he replied, and I forwarded his reply later in an email with the subject Heading "Flies".
The letter contained an article about a preacher in Florida named DeJesus who made the cover of Newsweek when he openly claimed to be the AntiChrist. He made CNN's TV broadcast when many of his 10,000 Florida Followers flooded tattoo studios to have 666 tattooed upon thier bodies to show allegiance to thier leader. His ministry boasts a global outreach with over 200 pastors and 100,000 members worldwide, 287 radio programs and a fulltime TV spanish TV network reaching 2 million homes. His claim is that He is Jesus, and that Sin and hell were nailed to the cross that there is no more devil, and how can he being here now...worship a dead name, and in that light he openly confesses to be AntiChrist. I get it...still I saw cause for concern...others said "oh that's just silly, that' too blatant" and yes it seems so, and perhaps they are right...but I also couldnt help but say...the guy has a 10,000 follower minimum at his home church and they are lining up at tattoo studios to get 666 marked on thier bodies.
But I digress...even if the guy is just a nutjob...the greater emphasis to the times still makes noting his presence a concern, as the prophecy that Many False Christ's would rise.
I sent this letter to another in the same timeframe...I don't know quite what to make of him...but he drew a lot of controversy to himself a few years ago when he stated "Many Object to me saying that I am Messiah," and I have had a few conversations with him, I don't accept nor reject his person or claims so much as note them. He Prophecied the last 7 plagues to manifest themself over 2007 in the same timeframe last year. But he was speaking as I understand it Metaphorically, and once we established that I was speaking quite literally, we had an interesting discussion in which he as I percieved it, offered an implied rebuke citing that God never told him to predict bad things for people or tragic events...I told him that I could not argue his experience with God, but that in Mine, I had indeed been told to do such...that it wasn't always easy, but it was my job, and that the Bible had plenty of precadent for God's servants to deliver ill fated news to individuals, I told him I had no control over what I was given to tell, it was my job to tell it. Don't know what happened to him, but once he pieces together, if he pieces together that 7 plagues have indeed manifested themselves since last year, I expect to hear from him. Still, I was the under the impression he was not speaking about the literal plagues and it seems he even mentioned so verbatim, and the last letter I wrote him, I asked him to tell me of "waiv sheath" he never replied, I heard nothing else from him. I have saved his writing last year, as well as his "predictions." Guess I will have to wait an see.
As all this happened last year, I made no claims to my own person, I did confess that I do prophesy, but make no claim as to being a prophet. I wondered at some point if I may be one of the two witnesses...now I just worry more about doing the next thing...the thing God has for me to do next and let him worry about all of that. I was told to speak the words "no more rain over Fayetteville" last May, and it ceased to rain, and it did not rain again in this city for nearly a month...and when the rain returned, it did so in a timeline I had been told to prophesy the week prior. This is a reply from the March 6th letter:
