Climate Change Vs. End-Time Birth Pains

 Climate Change Vs. End-Time Birth Pains – Todd Strandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ Large wildfires have been raging across Western Canada over the past few weeks, burning close to 500,000 hectares (nearly 1 million acres). The fires have forced the evacuationof tens of thousands of residents and have caused significant structural damage. Large plumes of smoke produced by the fires have stretched from west to east across the North American continent, significantly impacting air quality in several areas. NewYork City experienced hazardous air quality levels on June 6, primarily due to smoke from these fires. The east coast has been particularly affected, with smoke from fires in Nova Scotia and Quebec playing a significant role. Currently, the Quebec region is grappling with over160 forest fires, further exacerbating the situation. Air quality alerts have been issued in several other cities. When the smoke was at its peak, the sky turned. It is very strange that the same profound weather condition tookplace on the west coast in 2021 and 2022. Many Christians wonder if these firestorms are the result of climate change or the product of end-time birth pains. In recent years, the world has witnessed an increase inextreme weather events driven possibly by climate change. From heat waves and droughts to hurricanes and flooding, the frequency and severity of these events are on the rise. The key thing about climate change is that it should get worse over a long period of time. The temp will go up 5 degrees in the next 50 years. Ocean Water levels are forecastedto go up by four inches. A lot of events that strike are not part of a steady process. They come out of nowhere and often create a 1000-year event. Houston had a third 1000-year event when hurricaneHarvey poured down massive amounts of water that set records that a tropical jungle couldn’t match. In 2011 we broke several longstanding records for tornadoes. The next year, it was a record low for tornadoes. The next year was another record low for tornadoes. Oklahomaand Kansas had the latest reporting for the formation of a twister in each state. In 2005 Wilma was the strongest hurricane on record to make landfall in Dominica. It was the fastest storm to reach a Category 5 storm, and it stayed at Cat 5 longer thanany other storm. Wilma was the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Atlantic basin. We had such a massive rise in monster hurricanes, people started fearing living on the shoreline. Right after Maria plowed into Puerto Rico, we experienced a drought for hurricanes.We went a record 10 years without a US state being hit by a category 1 hurricane. In 2021 the state of Texas nearly suffered a grid-wide electrical meltdown because it relied too much on windmills, solar cells, and natural gas. God sent down a record coldblast to embarrass the green energy planners. The incident was also likely an end-time birth pain. Over the years, I’ve done many searches on “record cold,” and they don’t seem to be decreasing. Here is a fresh one from a few days ago: The last day of spring and the firstday of summer both brought record-cold temperatures to Baker City, Oregon. The temperature at the Baker City Airport dropped to 29 degrees on Tuesday, June 20, breaking the previous record for the date of 30 set in 2012. The next morning, the summer solstice,the temperature at the airport dipped to 30 degrees, breaking the record of 32 set in 1960. The reason why there was a name change from global warming to climate change is that we keep having record cold events. Several global warming conferences were canceled becausesnowstorms occurred in cities that rarely get freezing temperatures. I have a running joke with Terry and his son. If we have a heatwave, say we need Al Gore to fly over the state in his jet. The former vice president has been embarrassed several times byOld Man Winter (God). Weather, by its nature, makes wild moves. It could be 80 degrees in one location. A day later, it could be 20 below and snowing. Most birth pains are unrelated to weather,which is why they work so well. “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains” (Matthew24:8-10).
