The Coming Global Warming! - Ruminating in the Word of God

The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him today and what came to my heart and mind in Isaiah 24:4-6,

"The earth dries up and withers,
    the world languishes and withers,
    the heavens languish with the earth.
The earth is defiled by its people;
    they have disobeyed the laws,
violated the statutes
    and broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore a curse consumes the earth;
    its people must bear their guilt.
Therefore earth's inhabitants are burned up,
    and very few are left."

Well, there you have it: global warming! It will become so hot only "very few are left." In this prophecy of the destruction of creation by the hand of God that looks ahead to future events, we read of the world and the heavens languishing as the earth's inhabitants are burned up. This really is a frightful scene.

The global warming that will actually take place (unlike the alleged global warming fake science has brought us designed to separate us from our wallets and our freedoms) is not going to be due to carbon dioxide emissions. "The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant." It is a moral pollution that will bring about this global warming. Mankind's rebellion against his Creator brings his final judgment of the current heavens and earth.

It is amusing to note that many of those who are so concerned with treating the environment cautiously and carefully to avoid some perceived catastrophic warming of the earth are the very people who are bringing God's judgment of conflagration to it. Abortion, homosexuality, gender bending, lawlessness... you get the idea.

There will be no avoiding this coming day of the Lord. It sits squarely before us with no escape. However, those of us who have embraced Jesus Christ in faith look ahead to a bright, wonderful future that awaits us. Safe in the Savior's arms we will be delivered into his presence with the manifold blessings we will share in his presence!

"Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
    my body also will rest secure,
because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
    nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
You make known to me the path of life;
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,
    with eternal pleasures at your right hand." Psalm 16:9-11.

Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share what moved you about him from your Bible reading today. I'd love to hear from you!

If you have someone you would like to receive these ruminations, send me their email address. I'm happy to add them to the list. If you are receiving this and would like to be removed from the list, just reply and let me know.
