Algae bloom turns Biblical sea blood red sparking many to fear it’s an “Omen”

The biblical Sea of Galilee has mysteriously turned a vivid blood-red, leaving locals rattled and warning of a ‘bad omen.’

Stunned visitors watched crimson waves roll onto the shore, with some comparing the eerie transformation to the ten plagues God inflicted on the Egyptians in the biblical narrative of Exodus.

According to scripture, the curse saw the Nile’s waters struck by Moses’ staff at God’s command, turning them to blood in a divine act of judgment.

‘Thus says the Lord: By this you shall know that I am the Lord. Behold, with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the Nile, and it shall turn into blood,’ Exodus 7:17-21 reads.

The apocalyptic spectacle set social media ablaze, with many calling it a sign of the End Times, but scientists said there is a far less supernatural explanation.

Israel’s environmental ministry confirmed that the transformation this month was caused by a bloom of green algae in the freshwater lake, which turns red when a natural pigment builds up under intense sunlight.

The pigment is harmless, officials stressed, and tests show the water is safe for swimming, despite its unsettling hue.

Tests by the Kinneret Research Laboratory found the algae in the affected areas are harmless, with no health risks or allergic reactions reported among those exposed.

The discoloration was caused by Botryococcus braunii, which is found in various aquatic environments like freshwater and brackish water bodies worldwide.

It’s a green microalga known for producing significant amounts of hydrocarbons, which are similar to crude petroleum and can be used for biofuel production.

The phenomenon is caused by a natural buildup of pigments from certain algae, likely due to a bloom of microscopic organisms like cyanobacteria or dinoflagellates.

These organisms produce vivid red colors when conditions such as warm temperatures, nutrient-rich waters and sunlight are present.

While natural, the red waters have deep symbolic resonance for many Christians and Jewish communities, given the lake’s biblical significance.

In the New Testament, the Sea of Galilee was the setting for many of Jesus’ miracles, including walking on water and the miraculous catch of fish.
