Why is this world out of control? Have you ever wondered what could be the reason for all the problems we’re experiencing? Pollution, health, the economy, the weather, …. just to name a few.
You may say that humans are to blame. To a degree, I agree. Do you believe that someone could, or is promoting chaos, from behind the scenes? I believe so!
Who controls this world? Many may say that it is God. Which God are we talking about? Is it the God who created everything, false gods or is it the one who really controls this world? This is what I believe.
1 John 5:19 states in the New World Translation
… , but the whole world is lying in [power of the] wicked one.
Who is the wicked one? Please picture what Revelation 12:7-9 describes in the New World Translation.
And war broke out in heaven: Michael (Jesus) and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled but it did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any longer in heaven. So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called DEVIL and SATAN, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.
The real trouble maker is exposed.
Hi Revelation 21:4. Good afternoon. You are right of course. The mighty one of this world is indeed Satan and the spirit which the children of disobedience have is different from the spirit that comes through obedience (
Ephesians 2:2). People want to blame natural catastrophes on global warming, but no-one wants to accept that Yahweh has always used nature, or 'the earth' (
Genesis 6:13) to punish inhabitants for violating His Law. Therefore, immediately in this day and age when catastrophe happens the question isn't "let's self-examine and consider our ways", but "let's pour more money in to green initiatives". Money has become the mighty one of this world and apparently has all the solutions to the problems. Therefore the people continue to become more and more wicked. They have used global warming to deflect any inclination to examine and humble ourselves. People have rejected the fact that Yahweh is in control and are fretting frantically over global warming, just as
Proverbs 19:3 says.
Might I point out that there was a 7 year famine in the time of Joseph in Biblical times, but I fear should something like that happen in our day, people would immediately claim global warming. What about all the famines that have been recorded through history before industrialization? Does anyone consider these things? All the green initiatives in the world won't stop judgment being poured from heaven. They are some things that will be happening in the end of the age which have nothing whatsoever to do with global warming, such as increased solar activity and a higher incidence of earthquakes. But will the people see this as Yahweh speaking, or will they come up with some other excuse as to what the problem may be.
Don't get me wrong, I believe that we should invest in green energy, but even some green energy has it's disadvantages. You can do a search online on the dark side of renewable energy. But renewable energy sources are natural forces that are strongly dependent on the weather conditions. Therefore, when you have bad weather conditions, renewable energy technologies such as solar cells will be of less use. What kind of weather conditions will we be having in the end of the age and then tell me whether these renewable energy technologies will really be the answer. This world is out of control because it has rejected Yahshua, the light of this world (
John 9:5), therefore the people are stumbling in the darkness. They reject Yahweh's Law, which Yahshua stood for. Most people hate the Law of Yahweh and claim those who keep it are 'judaizers' when Yahshua our Savior was all for the Law of Yahweh as we read in Matthew 5:17-20. This is why there is so much confusion and darkness in this world today because Yahshua has been rejected even by Chr-stianity.
