Q: Is there anything in the Bible about global warming?

A: When the little boy was asked what he should do if his clothes were on fire he replied, “Don’t put them on.”

I believe there are plenty of people in the media and politics who are putting us on for the sake of votes and higher taxes, under the guise of saving the planet. On April 27, 2007, meteorologists on the Weather Channel declared with straight faces that 94 percent of Americans believe global warming is our greatest concern. Have these geniuses forgotten that we are involved in a religious war? They sadly added that most Americans are unwilling to save the planet by paying higher taxes.

With that said, yes, the Bible prophesies global warming. It’s just not going to happen the way most Hollywood movie stars would like us to believe. The earth has experienced cataclysmic upheavals throughout history. It was once entirely covered with water.

One day, our neighbor unearthed a star fish while working in his garden in Toledo, Ohio.

While Joshua prayed for a long day in Joshua 10, the Incas recorded a long night.

We find fossils of ferns in the Painted Desert, and this earth is speeding toward a beating like it has never seen before.

Man has no green light to pig up the planet, but God has already warned that He is going to purge this place before the return of Jesus Christ. He will, “Lay the earth waste, devastate it, turn it upside down on its axis, and the inhabitants of the earth will be burned.”

(Isaiah 24:1‑23.)

Not only will islands disappear, but also entire mountain ranges due to earthquakes, rather than rising oceans. (See Rev 16:17‑21.) People will rail on God because of the scorching heat which will cause sores. (See Rev 16:8‑12.) A close examination of these verses reveals the source of this intense heat will come from God during the seven‑year great tribulation, as opposed to man.

The cause of these catastrophes is sin. (See Isa 24:20.) We currently live in a world that rejects Jesus Christ. But if you want to experience planet earth in its most glorious form, then come to Jesus. The answers will never be found in government programs, conservation movements, political parties, higher taxes, mother earth worship, or cooking without carbon. The solution is a person, and that person is Jesus Christ.

I believe the Bible when it says Jesus will rescue Christians from these worldwide disasters. (See 1 Cor 15:50‑58, 1 Thes 5:9.) You can march, lobby, give money, and bark louder than Old Yeller as much as you like to no avail. Today, the Savior will welcome you into His love and life. Jesus invites you to experience 1,000 years on the earth as you desire it to be. He can handle it. Mankind never will.

Isaiah 65:17:25
