"And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring, men's hearts failing them from fear and expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken. They will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." Luke 21:25
The earth is crying out for the return of Christ. Creation is crying out the name of the Lord, crying out for justice for what man has become. The earth is in crisis and man has become confused by its behavior. Some say we are the cause, some say that we are not the cause of this global warming. We may not be a direct result, but through our behavior we have provoked the Lord and despised His creation. This is only the beginning of worse things to come. When the heavens begin to act erratic, then we know that the return of our Lord is ever so close.
The earth is revolting against us with tsunami's, hurricanes, earthquakes, and a host of other natural disasters. The hearts of men are failing because of this. Many tremble in anticipation of what is going to happen, and place these fears in dates such as 2012. They tremble as they should for a life spent in indulgence is a life wasted.
A question: there have always been natural disasters and although I have been thinking about it the way you have stated in the article (I live in CA and we have been having the weirdest weather patterns ever), I still wonder...there have been many natural disasters and epidemics in the past, so it's not like these natural disasters are anything new. What makes you think that the natural disasters happening these days are an indication that the end is nigh at hand?
ReplyDeleteThese disasters only increase, as time goes by, in frequency and the amount of damage they do. There have always been disaster yes, they are getting worse, the earth is revolting. For instance the 7 seals in the Apocalypse, that unleash the plagues happen cyclicly according to St. Andrew of Caesarea. The great star that fell from heaven making the earth and waters bitter, its name was wormwood. Wormwood in the Russian tongue is Chernobyl, because the bitter plant wormwood grows abundantly there. Think about that for a second.
