Environmental Disasters Grow as this Age is Near the End

Environmental Disasters Grow as this Age is Near the End – PastorMike Taylor - https://pastormiketaylor.blogspot.com/2021/04/enviromental-disasters-grow-as-this-age.html “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 failingthem from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken”. (Luke 21:25-26) Has the environment become hostile to the world's population that we don't know what to expect next? I know that the news channels are all talking about all the hurricanes that have increased with each passing season. I am saddened by the destruction that was leveled on the Texas gulf coast several times with 50+ inches of rain that flooded most everything in Houston and the surroundingareas. I noted that the hurricane with its winds and rain just stalled and unleashed massive amounts of precipitation that is beyond my mind to comprehend that much rain. I'm sure most of us look at the weather and remember the ominous sign of the sun's total eclipse made a path across the USA from Northwest to the Southeast and passed overthe areas that these hurricanes have come from. Next we speak of fires out of control. THE WORLD IS ON FIRE I was reading how the southwest and all along the western part of the USA burned millions of acres and spreading into Montana and up into our neighbor up north, Canada unrelentingdamage and destruction. The Forest Service is reporting that this is shaping up to be a worse than average fire year based on acres of federal, private and state land burned. So far, 5.6 million acres of land has burned this year, or 1.8 million acres morethan the ten year average of 3.8 million acres burned by this time. Some states like Nevada are saying that 2017 was the worst fire season in 15 years, while Montana has already used up much of its firefighting budget, even as much of the state remains indrought conditions according to the US Drought Monitor. The state may have to tap into reserve and federal funding. There has been so much fire, minimal rainfall that the southwest area has become a virtual dust-bowl where not much will be able to grow crops,as the top soil being blown away and loss of rain could lead to a food shortage in this country. Speaking of our neighbor to the north, fires are also causing the complete scorching of Canada’s British Columbia. This is the province’s second worst fire season on recordand NASA satellites have identified the conflagration from space. It’s unsurprising that the smoke is billowing over the border into nearby Seattle in Washington state which for much of last week was also under a heat advisory. On Thursday, the city hit arecord breaking 94 degrees at the Seattle Tacoma airport. The regular high for the region at this time of year is 77 degrees. Between the heat and the fact that the region has been, according to US Drought Monitor is unnaturally dry that wildfires are knockingon their door is unsurprising. Across the big pond of the Atlantic , if you load up the European Commission’s fire map, it looks like the end of the world, especially in Italy and Romania. So far, anarea just slightly smaller than the state of Rhode Island has burned. The total is already roughly three times the normal amount of summer wildfires. In June of that year, 60 people died over the course of one weekend in Portugal due to wildfires. Thirty peoplewere killed when the fires reached roads on evacuation routes. And as the map makes clear, those fires don’t seem to be abating, in part because of the hotter, drier temperatures ...this has also spread to Russia and Siberia which an image NASA has managedto capture on satellite footage, along with large swathes of Brazil. Back in June, of the last couple years South Africa was ablaze, and in New Zealand in February (during their summer) the city of Christchurch called a state of emergency after a wildfiresent thousands running from their homes and destroyed their homes, and killed a pilot. In Chile, for whom like New Zealand January is summer, battled a similar unusual number of wildfires due to a combination of drought and high temperatures. The world wantsto blame this phenomenon on Climate Change and will take any change in climate to further the mantra of a global New World Order. EARTHQUAKES COVER THE GLOBE This USGS reading is preliminary, but Mexico’s National Seismological Service released similar numbers for the earthquake’s strength that goes up and down the Pacific coastline. A USGS official told the Associated Press that this earthquake was not an aftershock of the disaster that struck near Chiapas , due to the large distance between the twoevents. These earthquakes have spread all over the planet, along the ring of fire in the Pacific and has caused great Tsunami's, the like of the one that killed a quarter of a million people into Japan and Southeast Asia According to a number of Christian writers and teachers (including this writer) on Bible prophecy, Jesus predicted in the Olivet Discourse that a pronounced increase inthe frequency and intensity of earthquakes would occur just prior to His return to the earth. Many of the same writers and teachers claim that the decade of the 1990s and accelerating into the 21st Century, that we have experienced a pronounced increase inboth the frequency and intensity of earthquakes as compared to the earlier decades of the twentieth century. This coincidence of Jesus' prophetic statement and recent seismic events is viewed by these writers and teachers as clear demonstration of the nearnessof the return of Christ. Earthquakes continue to increase in frequency and intensity, just as the Bible predicts for the last days before the return of Christ. History shows that the number of killerquakes remained fairly constant until the 1950s - averaging between two to four per decade. In the 1950s, there were nine. In the 1960s, there were 13. In the 1970s, there were 51. In the 1980s, there were 86. From 1990 through 1996, there has been more than150 and in the last 10 years, we have witnessed an annual number of “great” earthquakes nearly tripling over the last decade, providing a reminder to Americans that unruptured faults like those in the northwest United States might be due for a Big One. Between 2004 and 2014, 18 earthquakes with magnitudes of 8.0 or more rattled subduction zones around the globe. That's an increase of 265 percent over the average rate ofthe previous century, which saw 71 great quakes, according to a report to the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America this week in Vancouver, British Columbia. And each year continues the destruction all over the planet. Jesus spoke of this time, that He called the beginning of sorrows: “6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.” (Matthew 24:6-8) and Paul confirmed the time we live in Romans chp. 8: “19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemptionof our body.”(Romans 8:19-23) Now let us cover the signs in the heavens, that men can't explain. PLANET NIBIRU OR PLANET X Not sure what to make of the reports about a planet entering our solar system called Planet X. How are we to interpret this?...So I went and did some digging into if thisreport of a rogue planet heading our way. Is it fact or fiction? It has been reported that NASA had issued a terrifying advisory about the trajectory of a a “rogue planet” known as “Nibiru” or “Planet X”, saying it would "intersect Earth’sorbit, with potentially disastrous consequences". The report said: "NASA has known about the mystery planet for years, but declined to warn us … until now. "Finally, after the announcement of “Planet Nine” in January, conspiracy theorists have proved to the skeptics that they have been right this entire time, and NASA finallyhas to admit its wrongs. "The planet, according to Caltech researchers, has a mass about ten times that of Earth and takes about 15,000 years to make a full orbit around the sun – And it’s headingtowards Earth." The online detective called Snopes has debunked this report, but Snopes has also been debunked as being run by a married couple in their home. The urban legend-busting Snopes.comand its proprietors, Barbara and David Mikkelson, who started the site in 1995 and still run it. They’re accused of hiding their identities, doing shoddy research, producing articles with a liberal bent and bash anything that speaks of conservative principles.. So personally, I discount their opinions as being less than objective, but back to the question at hand. The report on this Planet X, is extremely convincing and even claims to quote NASA spokesperson Heather Cartwright as saying: "Although our scientists at NASA have emphasizedfor years that Nibiru doesn’t exist, we are ready to reveal the fact that it does exist. “The truth is we have been tracking the object for at least a decade and it is definitely headed towards planet Earth. "However, we are expecting a close flyby – not the doomsday collision that Caltech researchers are predicting. There is no need to cause mass panic.” The report went on to say Caltech scientists were at odds with NASA over the threat. We are not sure what to make of these reports, but we know that this planet will NOT be destroyed, as Jesus will come and rule from Jerusalem and return this planet to itsGarden of Eden environment during His 1000 year reign. But I do recall what John wrote in Revelation. 8 “And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. 10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountainsof waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.” (Revelation8:8-11) All these environmental disasters are the run-up to the coming Tribulation, where the seals of the wrath of God are opened in sequence. The earth is groaning and waits forits own redemption, as Paul mentioned in Romans 8. Mankind has abused the earth to such an extent, it would not be beyond imaginations to say that nature is rebelling and attempting to vomit out the pollution along with the polluters that are destroying theenvironment. But speaking of a mountain that falls into the sea, a asteroid burning with sulfur and iron would make much of the world uninhabitable. All this takes place in the coming Tribulation, so if there is a link between this Planet X/Nibiru, then itcould be used by God to bring further judgement on this earth. God is control of every celestrial body, star or planet in the universe, so He will bring judgment according to His Word. WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN? If we take the signs in the heavens, the stars, the sun, and the moon, we have had an abundance of what I feel, God is trying to get our attention. Let us recount what hashappened in the last 30 years: -increase in earthquakes that grows in number each year to disastrous results. -increase in volcanic activity that has awakened mountains after years of sleep. -increase in whole species of animals dying mysteriously- -blood moons that appeared on God's Feast Days two years in a row -total eclipses that spell judgement coming on the Gentiles by interpretation. -increase in weather patterns of hurricanes and Tsunamis from earthquakes -increase of drought conditions all over the world, and here in the USA, the southwest in the throws of climate convulsions. -pestilence around the globe with reports of ravagin locust consuming everything in their path leading to famine and local starvation. -push for a New World Order on the false concept of Climate Change- -Sustainable Development and Agenda 2030 being pushed by the U.N. To monitor every man and woman on the planet. -lawlessness in our streets, worldwide. Terrorism that grows unabated -Muslim invasion of Europe and immigration grown out of hand in the USA. -the world in near economic collapse, and debt beyond an ability to pay back. -crisis at our southern border of a illegal immigration surge that is the result of this present “so-called administration” that has promoted this crisis and the populationknows it. -abortion on demand and the demise of 70 million babies in the USA alone…with many more worldwide. -Homosexuality on the order of Sodom and Gomorrah, same sex marriage ruled Constitutional and the abomination written in Romans 1 taking grip of our planet. -scientist experimenting with fetal parts to cross animals with humans. Brings to mind what was happening in Noah's time, and God destroyed all who were going against God'screation. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN? I am no prophet, but even a observant person who believes in the True God of Heaven, knows that this world cannot continue in this direction for an undetermined amount oftime. God is longsuffering and not willing that any should perish. 9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should cometo repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (2nd Peter 3:9-10) Even our God who is longsuffering, has patience that runs out. He gave the Canaanites 400 years to come to repentance and turn from their wicked ways, then He commandedthat they be destroyed, every man, woman and child. Israel was given this command. The world has been moving to higher levels of evil that wax and waned in times past, but the 20th Century after WW2 into our “modern” era has seen an exponential increase inlawlessness, Godlessness, and wickedness that God will judge but will give man one last chance during the coming 7 years of Jacob's trouble. We have discussed that Satan will be given a free reign over this earth to do whatever evil he wishes to impose on mankind. It will be the final judgment of Satan that Godwill bring judgment on the fallen ark angel called Lucifer before he fell and became the “adversary” called Satan. When will this happen? The only Power that has held Satan in check, is God's Holy Spirit, which resides in every truly born again believer who has received a deposit of God's promise of futureglorification. “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,” (2nd Thessalonians 2:1-9) Many have tried to hypothesize who the “He” is in the verses above. It's a personal pronoun and denotes a Person, not an angel or any other created being, but God's Spiritwho is the only Power that is doing the withholding. WILL JESUS COME SOON? The question everyone on the internet is asking, “will Jesus come soon?”...many have proposed that the sign of Revelation 12 and the total eclipse of August the 21 of 2017was a super sign of the coming of our Lord...Not so fast. Jesus said that no one would know. 33 "So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (Matthew 24:33-39) We have discussed that Jesus was referring to a coming “Feast of Trumpets” by the idiom of speech that each Jewish man would have recognized, BUT...we don't know which yearthat will be. But we know that the signs are all around us, and the signs on earth and in the heavens are screaming His soon return. You feel it, I feel it, and the secular world knows that something has got to give and sense something big is about to happen.Noting that we have ended the 70 years generation of those who were alive when Israel was made a nation, we are on the cusp of the end of that generation Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24.. But I will not predict, nor should anyone that Jesus is coming on any givendate. We can pray, we can hope, and we can watch as I will be watching and listening on any given day for a trumpet sound, but if it doesn't come, I won't become depressed, as God has His plan and it is right on time. I just have to stay faithful and keepworking for Him, until He actually sends Jesus to claim what He bought with His own blood 2000 years ago on a Roman cross. He has ascended to the Father in Heaven and sits at His right hand, and waiting for the signal to “go get my children”... WILL YOU BE READY? No matter when that trumpet sound breaks the atmosphere and Jesus calls with a sound of a trumpet “come up hither”, will you be ready? Will you be found with faith in Godand His plan for mankind. Being clothed with the rightousness of His Son? Make no mistake about it, friend, Jesus is coming...and He will come when the world least expects Him. That is why I'm a little skeptical that it will be on any proclaimeddate by any “false prophet”, because the hype is saying Jesus is coming....but what did Paul write ? 1 "But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness” (1st Thessalonians 5:1-5) Jesus could come very soon (maybe even this fall), but to the world, He will come as a thief...to those of us who are looking at the signs and know that His return is imminent,we will be watching, waiting, and in prayer. But the point is, no one knows, no one alive that is. But my warning to all who read this message, “Be Ready”. You ask, “how do I get ready”...easy. Two sets of verses that even a small child can grasp. 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” (John 3:16-18) Belief in the only Begotten Son of God in your heart, in your mind, in your life, and then express that belief with your mouth to others of your belief. 8 “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” (Romans 10:8-11) The world is in convulsions and rocking to and fro like a drunken sailor, but it will only get worse, a LOT WORSE. The environment is turning deadly. The heavens and theearth is being shaken, but not to the extent that God will shake this Creation when He comes to bring judgment on this fallen earth. You don't want to be here. I won't be, WILL YOU? 14 “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (1st Thessalonians 4:14-18) This is Pastor Mike Taylor, praying you will be ready to meet Jesus in the air. It could come when men least expect it, and in the near future. Just be ready.
