The Earth is Sick- Climate Change or End times?
By Ambassador Emmanuel Mwamba,
THE ferocity and frequency of global floods, droughts, fires, famine, diseases, storms, typhoons and earthquakes, is occurring in a manner that shows that the Earth is sick.
Cold seasons are colder than before, and summer seasons are hotter than before.
2019 has been recorded as the hottest year in living memory.
Scientists say it is the irrefutable evidence of climate change arising from man’s utter careless actions to the environment and disregard for nature.
Man pollutes it, pollutes the air, pollutes streams, rivers, lakes and oceans, cuts trees wantonly, destroys forests, dumps plastics and garbage, clogging water systems, and disturbs natural ecosystems.
Man is finishing crops, fishes and animals in a manner that is faster than can be replenished.
With a rising population, and because of domestic and commercial needs,
Man is behaving like a virus destroying and devouring natural environments around him and moving to the next.
But the Bible and many holy texts attribute all these to End times.
End times and signs are discussed in various Holy scriptures including Isaiah, Daniel, Malachai, Mathews and Revelation.
The Gospel of Matthew 24, shows that the end times and the second coming of Jesus Christ will involve the following: Wars and rumors of wars, Nation rising against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. It also discusses the rise of droughts and famines and earthquakes, rise of false prophets coming in Jesus’ name, many people being deceived by false prophets, false prophets performing signs and wonders, and persecution of true believers, people’s love of God decreasing, the gospel preached in the whole world and the “abomination of desolation” (a world leader who makes himself out to be God).
But it also discusses the prevalence of great tribulations, “alterations in the sun, moon, and stars”.
A scientist will scoff at this and demonstrate that man is merely living in an unsustainable manner and greedily devouring everything in his wake, altering the special and delicate natural balance of nature.
And science claims that the earth is but a tiny spec of sand in the billions of stars, solar systems and galaxies across an expanding and observable Universe.
But what is not in dispute is that; the Earth is sick!
Is it because man is careless, and his greed is about to deplete the sustainable natural resources of the Earth, and that we are at the tipping edge of the delicate natural balance.
Because of this, we are likely to change the climate as it has been for thousands of years, irreversibly?
Or is it the clear signs of the end times?
