It is seven years in the future and there’s growing unrest around the world as people begin to connect the dots. A new reality is upon us:
- Despite the promises of the 2008 campaign, a weakened economy and a continued presence in Iraq has kept climate change on the backburner. Global temperatures are rising faster than expected.
- Increasing global demand for oil and industrial metals, especially from China and India, is creating worldwide shortages. More coal-fired power plants are being built to compensate.
- A continued drought is turning the US Southwest into a dust bowl. Lake Mead has dried up, threatening the drinking supply in Las Vegas.
- Tensions rise between the U.S. and Mexico as water disputes break out over the Rio Grande.
- Crop yields plummet in the U.S. Midwest due to persistent droughts mixed with frequent hailstorms and flash floods. Record high food prices and food shortages lead to food riots in many countries around the world.
- Wildfires are raging out of control in Colorado and Southern California leaving thousands of people homeless.
- A powerful nor’easter hits the entire eastern seaboard, from South Carolina to Maine. Power is knocked out for millions of people in New York and New Jersey and the New York City transit system is shut down for 2 days.
- A Category 5 hurricane hits the coast of Miami, flooding a majority of the city and damaging much of its infrastructure. The situation is made worse by a continuing influx of refugees from Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The National Guard is called in to lead the disaster response.
Those who are sounding the "Global Warming Alarm" have ample evidence to believe life as we have known it is radically changing. The price of fuel and food is already having an impact.
The most important question is why? Can we find any Biblical evidence describing any or all of these events? At this point there is a world of opinions, and it depends on your conviction on the inspiration of the Scripture. If you believe the Bible is God's truth without any mixture of error, then you know we have been warned!
If you believe in the pretribulation rapture of the church, then you are looking up because you know the Lord could return at any minute.
Praise the Lord!

Good post.
I really like the Swptember Special! Just kidding, good post
Yes, ready to fly anytime. I just pray everyone else is, too. Did you happen to see an article yesterday with Amajehad about oil, he in so many word said that with the collapse of the dollar that countries purchasing oil should consider a new currency or each country come up with a new one. I found that interesting. Thank you for all your studying and delivering of the word and at least we as a church should not be some of those who have fell asleep.Yes, we have been warned.
Praise the Lord!
Well Pastor, today could be the day(June 20, 2008, 1st day of summer). Thank you for the good post and it is very interesting. Our world is in very bad shape. The Daily Bread for today is from Nehemiah 1:4-11 where God is saying to His people, serve me with all you hearts & soul and I will take care of you. Oh what a blessing it is to be a christian in these last days.
