Climate change and global warning. (note it says warning, not warming)
In Dec 2015 the climate change summit conference was held.
This was my response. Who made the earth?..... God did.
The creator of the heavens and the earth is the Lord of all and man is accountable to Him. Psalm 24:1-2
I am wondering how world leaders are going to instruct God to stop His angels from pouring out His wrath upon the earth?
In Rev 16:1-21 These days are the last days spoken of in scripture in it, we find the word of God that says those who have not believed God the Father and Jesus His only-begotten son and who have received the mark of the beast and worshipped his image will have poured out on them: (here is a brief summery) The first bowl will bring about ugly and painful sores the second bowl will cause the sea to turn to blood and every living creature in the sea will die. The third will be poured out on the rivers and streams, and they will also be turned to blood.
The fourth will pour forth his bowl on the sun, and it will be permitted to scorch people with fire.
This you would think would make these people repent and glorify God, but no, instead they will blaspheme the name of God(Jesus).
The fifth angel will pour out his bowl on the throne of the beast and darkness will cover his kingdom and people will begin to bite their tongues because of their pain. These people will continue to blaspheme the God of heaven despite their pain and sufferings, and will still not repent of their deeds.
It's important to note what we read about the third angel. "Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters saying: “You are righteous, O Lord, The One who is and who was and who is to be, Because You have judged these things. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.” And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.” Rev 16:4-7.
Basically, they get what they deserved" (see also Romans 12:18-20)
What we have just read connects with Rev 6:9-10 where we read of those who have been martyred for the word of God and the testimony they held to (of Jesus and the gospel) they cry out from the altar "how long O lord holy and true until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth"The sixth angel will pour out his bowl on the great river Euphrates causing it to dry up, preparing the way for the kings from the east. The writer of Revelation (John) then describes how unclean spirits (looking like frogs) will come out of the mouths of the dragon (Satan) the beast (the anti christ ruler) and the false prophet.
These spirits will bring about demonic signs causing the kings of the earth to come together for the last battle that will take place on the great day of God, the almighty. The place of the gathering of the kings and their armies will be Armageddon.
Those who believe in Jesus Christ are exhorted to stay alert. (remain faithful) The Lord says
" (Look! for I will come as a thief) This day should not be a surprise to true Christians. (1thess 5)
The seventh and last bowl is then poured out into the air and a voice from the temple thrown in heaven will be heard saying "it is done" Then thunder, lightnings and roaring's will occur and an earthquake like no other, "unequalled since humanity has been on the earth" Then the great city (Babylon the great) will be split into 3 parts the city of the nation will collapse.
The great city of Babylon will be remembered before God and will be given what is described as "the cup filled with the wine of God's furious wrath. John (the writer of Revelation) goes on to explain what he saw.
Every island fled away, and no mountains could be found. And giant hailstones, weighing about a hundred pound each, fell from heaven on the people, but they blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, since it was so horrendous.
Whatever you think about climate change, mankind's scientific achievements are really unimportant.
Nobody will stop what has been prophesied in God's word, from happening. Period.
But today if you repent, acknowledge you are a sinner to God and believe in Jesus Christ, who died for your sins on the cross having paid your debt with His life, you will be saved (made a new creation, made righteous, receive everlasting life and will be delivered from God's wrath.
Jesus came into the world to save sinners. His coming was a demonstration of god's love, given once for all sin, for all people, for all time. There are many religions, but they are all about man becoming god. But the God (as described in the scriptures -the bible) is about God becoming a man. This was so that man could be reconciled to God, by the shedding of Jesus' blood for the forgiveness of sins.
The gospel is the power of God unto salvation to all who believe. Do you want to be saved and have eternal life?
Do you want to live a life that pleases a loving, righteous and just God?
God's word says All have sinned, all who live will die as a consequence of their sin and all will be judged after death.
Do you know where you are going if you died today?
Are you willing to take a chance and hope that your good deeds will insure your protection from God, who is righteous and just? His word in fact states that “salvation is a gift from God, received through faith, not of works, least anyone should boast. Eph 2:8-9
It is written "those who call on the name of the Lord (Jesus) will be saved" Why that name? It is written, “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Jesus (meaning saviour) is the only way God has given by whom mankind can be saved, that's why.
Warning. Man is not an animal, we were made in the image of God. But that image has been corrupted by sin. Sin originated in the first man, Adam.
Our body is not us, our soul is us, living in a body. Our soul is forever conscious, an eternal life if you will. It is the soul that has been corrupted by sin, and it is the soul that Jesus came to make right. Furthermore, those who believe in Jesus Christ will one day also indeed look forward to a redeemed body.
Why is this important?
Mark 8:36-37 says, “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? “Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"
We love ourselves and live to please ourselves, don't we?
When Jesus came to save us, his way was to lay down His life. This led to His death. Now the full Gospel is that Christ is now resurrected from the dead. This means that He has overcome sin and death.
Jesus expects any who intend to follow His to lay down their lives too. This will only be possible by the working of Christ in the life of a believer.
The fact is we are all going to die physically, but what then? Eternity. Pay Attention. There is nothing you can do about your eternal destiny once you die. Question, can anyone prevent us from dying? No. Everyone will die. Why do we die? God's word tells us that all die because all have sinned. Furthermore, the wages of sin is death.
Dear reader, don't mess around will this. God, who made you, is the one you must get right with now, whilst you live.
The time is coming when Jesus Christ will come to judge the living and the dead.
How will you stand?
1Cor 6:9-10 says this "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God."
This is God's word, not man's oppinion.
