Luke 21:25-28 Climate Change?

 Climate change is a sign of the coming of the end of the age.  Jesus said so himself.

To a degree many of us mock the idea of climate change.  I do myself, but the reason for my feeling is not because I don't see the things that are taking place, but it is the foolishness or inconsistency of many who 'ring the alarm bell.'  We need to be sure we don't land on the proverbial wrong side of the fence when we fall off. Although there is good reason for alarm bells to ring they should be followed by standing up, taking notice, and acting.  This falls directly inline with our God given responsibility to be stewards of the earth and to master it.  Where we need to take care is with regard to the inconsistent politically motivated agenda of some.

Back to what Jesus said.  In Luke 21:25-28 a sign of his soon return is climate change- strange things in the heavens and climatic extremes.  He said that nations will be perplexed because of the roaring of the seas and the waves.  Let's think about it. In recent years we have heard of super tides, the glacial ice melt worries low lying island nations who fear being submerged by rising ocean waters,  the great waves that come as a result of earthquakes flooding small islands and coastal areas, the destruction caused by hurricanes and cyclones, extreme hail storms and who knows what else.

Jesus said that people will faint with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. Our community has witnessed unprecedented, albeit small on the grand scale, catastrophes which cause great fear as well.

He said, "When these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.' We need to ready ourselves and prepare for his coming! That begins by making sure our hearts are right with Him.  Are you prepared to meet him?
