Climate Groaning
Exodus 20: And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
If you know me, you know I will weigh whatever is going on in the world and whatever anyone with any influence says against the Word of God. If it does not mesh with what the Bible says I will summarily dismiss it because I know for certain it isn't going to happen.
Luke 12:25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? (King James Version)
Luke 12:25 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? (New International Version)
If you can't change the length of your own shadow or life in this world by all consideration and consternation how can you possibly change the enormity of the world itself?
Nobody could ever call me an environmentalist in any sense of the word, because I would immediately tell them we can not extend the life of the earth one second more than the lifespan God grants it. If we can not extend our own miniscule lives, how can we possibly extend the life of the earth? We are not God, and pretending that we can "save the planet" when God says completely different is foolish and flying in the face of our Creator:
Look at the shakeup Iceland has received. First they had an earthquake which basically split the town of Grindavik in the middle. There have been thousands of earthquakes in Iceland in what the authorities are now referring to as "an earthquake swarm". Now they are having a volcanic eruption. Japan has just received scores of earthquakes. Turkey received a massive earthquake and many aftershocks early in 2023. Wildfires were all over. And flooding.
Mark 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
The evil people that organized and attended the GOP28 conference will tell you everything that is happening is 'climate change' and we have to do this, this, and this to prevent it. And all of it is about us giving up something very tangible for the supposed return of something very intangible.
'Global warming' didn't work so well for them so they morphed it into 'climate change' which is much harder to argue. Summer and winter are 'climate change', for goodness's sake, and always have been. But they continue to cling to their myth that the glaciers are melting and the oceans are rising and the coastal cities will be underwater by such and such a time. Just fear mongering rubbish. That's all they know:
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
The ones at the top are outright lying. The ones following them are deceived. None of their spouted nonsense is to be believed. Nevertheless, take them seriously for they are indeed influential and dangerous. What they say is happening is a lie. What they say they'll do about it that will ultimately harm you is the truth. They are godless liars with nothing good in mind for you. "You'll own nothing and be happy". That is one ominous, nefarious statement. It just makes my skin crawl. The serpent venom must be pooling in their mouths while they utter such a thing. Just as before, one part is truth and the other part is a lie. Only a complete fool could believe the last part of it. I don't see how giving up everything you've worked your entire life for is apt to make you happy. Think about the 'us versus them' factor: if they get their way, it's all about us giving up everything while they will not only never give up anything, but will ultimately get everything we gave up and grow even more opulently and decadently wealthier through their elaborate scam.
God is so, so much different:
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (New International Version)
Those are the words of a Father's love for His children. They are all Truth, and hold good promise all the way through, not only a portion of it.
Mankind, whether it is humble enough to admit it, or too proud to not, was created to worship. To worship God. The devil knows that, and also knows human weakness and folly. That is why he uses idol worship to lead people astray from worshipping God. The golden calf, and King Nebuchadnezzar's statue were early examples of this. Paul ran into all kinds of it in Athens:
Acts 17:16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
People are easily sucked into idol worship in that, through lack of actual faith, they will worship what they can see, and the bigger the better. That is where earth or environmental worship comes in; they can see it, and it's bigger than them, so they fall into worshiping it.
Romans 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Don't be fooled into worshiping what you can see. It can not see you back much less answer your prayers or reward your works or sacrifices. Anything that is worshipped or prayed to other than God Almighty is an idol, such as statues or figurines of Buddha or Mary or angels.
Worshiping God brings reward. Not that we should worship in anticipation of being rewarded with riches for it; that is not true worship. True worship is simply loving God the Father for Who He Is and what He has done for you if you are born again as His child. But the immediate reward is the soothing and comforting of your spirit.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
What greater immediate reward can you have than peace of mind and spirit in this turbulent, chaotic world? Only God can grant that through the Holy Spirit.
April 22 is called 'Earth Day', or, since 2010, 'Mother Earth Day'. All over the world, people engage in pagan worship of the earth instead of God. General Assembly President Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann announced it in this manner: "International Mother Earth Day promotes a view of the Earth as the entity that sustains all living things found in nature. Inclusiveness is at the heart of International Mother Earth Day; fostering shared responsibilities to rebuild our troubled relationship with nature is a cause that is uniting people around the world."
Utter nonsense. Spiritual blindness.
The earth is not an "entity". It is a creation. An entity is self aware, and can recognize you, regard you in many ways, or respond to you. The earth absolutely can not. Calling it an "entity" is a direct attempt to personifying it to garner it worship. This is the 'mother nature' crowd on steroids.
Ignore mass media's pathetic posturing. All they know how to do is lie. There is no worldwide manmade 'climate change'. We can not raise the temperature of the entire world. That is just pure garbage. We simply can not do that. It is a lie designed to exert more control and draw more taxes under completely false and evil pretenses.
All environmentalism is about not hurting what they are worshiping. Wait a minute here. How can mere humans hurt God? We can't. We absolutely can not. It is not even remotely possible for miniscule, mortal humanity to hurt Almighty, omnipresent, omnipotent, eternal God. So the earth or the environment is not God because how can the created hurt the Creator? How can the clay hurt the Potter? It simply can't. Therefore the earth or the environment or 'mother nature' is NOT God. Only God is God. Everything else is either His creation or man's, and neither and none of them is to be worshiped.
There is no such thing as 'mother nature'. That is worshipping the creation rather than the Creator:
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Human nature results in terms like 'mother nature'. In other words, human nature created 'mother nature', which is an idol. Notice how even the gender of what they are worshiping is changed from the masculine, patriarchal God the Father to 'mother earth' or 'mother nature'? Don't fall for it. This mass gender confusion we are seeing today actually has roots in the 'mother earth' myth that's been around for generations. The 'green movement' and 'environmentalism' is 'mother earth' worship, just with a different name. It is exactly the same content in a new wrapper; the same idol is repackaged in a new box. Don't fall for it.
Matthew 17 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
Peter made the mistake of falling into worshiping Moses and Elijah (Elias). God immediately hid them and ended the meeting with them and commanded the disciples to listen to Jesus only. While Moses and Elijah were indeed holy, they were absolutely not God, and therefore not to be worshipped.
Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (King James Version)
Revelation 19:10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.” (New International Version)
The Apostle John made the mistake of worshiping a mighty angel physically standing before him and was immediately reprimanded for it.
If a mighty, terrifying angel straight from the Kingdom of Heaven would instantly and sternly reprimand someone as great as the Apostle John for the sin of worshiping him and command him to worship God instead and only, then how could we ever be mistaken beyond that?
That was a holy angel, fearful and powerful, likely able to strike scores of men down, telling us to worship God only, not him. Never mind puny things made with our own feeble, mortal hands that can rot, be burned up, melted down, or broken. Nothing humans have created to worship was ever able to do a single thing for them:
1 Corinthians 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
"we know an idol is nothing... and there is none other God but one". No matter what people do for 'mother nature', it will never notice nor regard because it doesn't even exist. BUT, the creation does exist, and it knows its Creator:
Luke 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
What we are seeing today could be equated to the stones crying out. The creation knows its Creator is coming:
Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
I predict the current situation to only get worse in 2024. And even worse beyond. We may live to witness things no humans have seen before. That's not of any expertise of my own. And I am certainly not a 'prophet'. I am only an ignorant and uneducated high school dropout. I only understand one thing completely: Jesus is Lord. Lord Jesus is King Jesus, and what He says will come to pass will absolutely, positively, indeed, come to pass. Every last word. Heat waves and freezes, droughts and floods, tornadoes and hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, wildfires and tsunamis, and more, will all increase as the creation groans for its Creator.
If you would indulge me for a moment, may I coin a phrase here? I will call what we are witnessing 'climate groaning'.
The creation will not respond to man as it neither recognizes nor regards him, but it will respond to its Creator; the clay to the Potter, and that is exactly what it is doing now and will with increasing frequency and intensity.
There is nothing we can do to bring the Lord Jesus to us. There is no preparing the creation for the Creator. We can only worship the God that created us and prepare our hearts for Him and watch and wait.
Maranantha. Come, Lord Jesus.
