Scripture: Psalm 97 v 1 - 6: "The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory."
There are so many things happening in the heavens above Earth right now, which tells me that there has been much activity in Heaven itself. There have been giant Sunspots, 5 times bigger than Earth, which have sparked off gigantic flares causing a disruption in communications here in recent weeks.
Luke 21 v 11, 25 - 27: "And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
25: "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory."
On Sunday morning in the desert city of Palm Springs, California, Tropical Cyclone Hilary dumped a year's worth of rain in 24 hours. It has caused foods, mudslides, highways to be severely damaged and Palm Springs is now inaccessible. The storm is likely to cause floods in Nevada, with Oregon watching anxiously for back flow that could cause them floods too.
Wildfires in Hawaii, France, Greece are causing much concern, even fear as temperatures soar off the charts in Southern Europe. A huge bubble of hot air from the Sahara Desert has brought a severe heatwave.
According to the Word of God these and other dramatic conditions are heralding the approach of the One, the Lord, our Saviour to Earth. The first we know of it will be when born again Christians are caught up in the Rapture to meet the Lord in the air above Earth.
After the Head, Jesus Christ, is reunited with His Body, the Church, then the second coming of Jesus in power and great glory will occur. He is the only one who can put things right, the ONLY ONE! He made it all, even us frail beings, and promised to return. He plainly told us what would happen before He arrived back here. Not even He knows the date or time, only the Father, but He said we would know the season.
So we observe lightning, storms, the melting of glaciers and polar caps, the sea surges swallowing islands and coastlines, pandemics, hunger, distress of nations, major uncertainty of the future. Men's hearts failing from fear. The rise of corruption and criminality, financial upheaval, wars and destruction.
Today in South Africa the BRICS summit of 5 nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa begins. They represent 3 billion people. 25 other nations want to join like Saudi Arabia. On the agenda is a new BRICS currency that they say will be like the African Euro, to replace the failing currency we already have. The beginning of the One World Currency of the Antichrist. Starting in countries that are Communistic. Godless.
We cannot reverse climate change, the damage is already done. We cannot stop global warming through G7, G8 or G20, or G1000 meetings. There are no answers to cleaning out the grossly polluted oceans, except to stop shipping, ocean liners and keep people off beaches. Even then the grossly polluted rivers spill their waste into the sea. Just the pollution of plastic waste in the oceans forms a hazard to marine life. If its all clumped together its the size of Argentina.
The psalm says that a fire goes before Jesus and melts the hills like wax. Global warming is a sign that He is on His way. After the Battle of Armageddon the last millennium will begin, the thousand years of peace and restoration. Jesus will reign over those who were saved from the second death.
We have been waiting since the day Jesus ascended to Heaven for His return. Acts 1 v 10 - 11: "And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."
So with the growing anti-semitism around the world, which brings curses upon their own heads from God Himself. It will eventually lead to an eternity they do not expect. Amongst all the other strategies of the Antichrist like Interfaith, the One World Church which declares that all religions serve the same God. The only exception is Christianity. We serve the one true God who saves from sin and idolatry. Plus the remnant of the Jews who recognize Jesus as their Messiah, and Bridegroom.
Maybe you don't think the Bible is relevant for today. That we must work out our own problems or move to Mars. However, if all the signs in the sky and on the planet don't write His Story clear enough, and you don't get ready to know Him before you meet Him in person, then you will hopefully change your mind when the day comes that every Christian on the planet disappears, and those who are left behind say "Alien Abduction". He is no alien and we can't wait to go! Let us declare His glory for the world to see and call on His name to be saved.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You made very sure we would have everything we needed to navigate these end times and be ready for the coming of Jesus. Time is getting short and we thank You for arranging signs and wonders in the sky and on Earth to keep us on track with Your timeline. Help us to reach the people You know are ready to listen. In Jesus' name. Amen.
