The Christian and Global Warming

Let me say the political piece first:
Yes, things may be heating up on the planet, though not all of the evidence points that way.

No, we can't prove how or why they're heating up, if indeed they are.

Yes, there has always been alternate warming and cooling of Earth. In the 70's the same political machine was predicting an ice age, and was all upset with folks who did not get on THAT bandwagon.

So where does that leave us? In the Book of Revelation, where else? Revelation 16:8ff

In that passage, judgments are being poured out on the earth, though not the final judgment that will occur when Jesus returns with His own, snatched up from the winds of Heaven. These are the infamous "bowl" judgments, a series of natural disasters that will leave the planet reeling.

The fourth "bowl" involves the sun. The sun becomes so hot that men are literally "scorched with fire." This may be where the sun turns to darkness, as in a nova. First a great explosion that causes the heat, then darkness and bitter cold follows in the next "bowl."

I don't have to play the politics game of the world, and you do not either. My view of the future is grounded solidly on what God said. Global warming is coming in a major way when He gives the signal. Nothing we see now can even compare to it, nor can we predict at all which way things will go until then.

http://chosunhouse.com is a website I put together a few months back to get the word out to believers that they need to pray for North Korea. I have created over 200 blogs and the site features a live news feed , lists of resources, picture essays, and ways to respond to the overwhelming need in North Korea. Let's love Chosun together! Contact me any time at diakonos5@yahoo.com

And who am I? A man found of God over 50 years ago, called to the ministry, serving the Lord as needed in my world. Married, member of a local church in the Chicago area, with full time work in public education. I love to write Scriptural works. Who are you? Would love to fellowship with believers who respond .
