Bible Study Title: 2.4 Billion exposed to excessive heat “Two Men will be in the Field, One life will be Taken, One Left” – Jesus (in Luke 17:36) 2.4 Billion Workers are Exposed to Excessive Heat In August, the World Health Organization said 2.4 billion workers were in danger of a heat stroke, and excessive heat has caused more deaths worldwide than any other weather-related event. [And not just in the tropics anymore -- this year, southern Europe experienced the hottest and deadliest summer on record]. Scientists fear that we have reached the point of no return and are now experiencing the Earth’s sixth mass extinction. Many animal species are already extinct because of the excessive heat from man-made global warming (last plague # 4). The scientists say that, unless steps are taken to stop the warming of the Earth, and really soon, up to half of the Earth’s species will become extinct. Many species, from frogs to rhinos are already extinct. Some scientists are saying that up to half of us humans may also die from the scorching heat and related weather events. It brings to mind the prophecy of Jesus found in the Gospels, “Two men will be in the field, one life will be taken [to meet his maker] and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill, one will be taken, the other left.” In the Apocalypse (11:18) given to us by Jesus, the purpose of the last plagues is said to be to kill ‘those who destroy the Earth.’ Yet there are many Christians who believe they will be taken away and the bad guys will be left. There are several “Left Behind” books and movies that say that – but it is the opposite of what Jesus said. In the original Greek, He said His followers will be left. Jesus also said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth” (Mattew 5:5). After the last plagues are mitigated and all the bad guys – those who destroy the earth – are taken away, then those who are left will get to enjoy a thousand years of heaven on Earth in the “Day of the Lord.” But it is up to God’s followers to stop the global warming and fix everything that is out of kelter with the way God perfectly created the Earth. As Jesus said, “Look neither here nor there for the Kingdom of God — for the Kingdom of God is within you!” (Luke 17:20-21) In the Revelation to John, the 7 last plagues are given to the seven angels by the 4th living creature – which is the US Church. It reflects the fact that the US is the leader of the free world, and we are one of two mega-polluters of the earth. Also, as the 4th Christian horseman to rule the Earth, we are dropping the great hail of plague 7 from our warplanes. Also in August, President Trump gutted the EPA and suspended our anti- pollution laws. The only hope for the US (and the world) is for some of Trump’s yes-men to be voted out of office in the mid-term races in 2026. We need a 3rd party. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread |
