World in chaos

[InChrist]

I think this world is in chaos and every day this is verified with news accounts and events taking place all across the globe. I believe this is a strong indication pointing to the end of the age and the soon return of Jesus Christ. In this thread I am going to post some of these news stories and events as I have time, but I'll only be able to highlight very few at a time since so much is happening so fast it's really too hard to keep up with everything. Feel free to read and/or comment or discuss.

what about the drought in California? what about the drought in Italy?

we've never had a drought like this. I can't do but blame pollution and overpopulation.
I sincerely hope that this return of Christ is very near. At least those who have destroyed Earth climate, will get their reward

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Every generation for the last two thousand years (or more) has mistakenly thought they were living in the "end times." But, I'm sure the doomsayers have it right this time.

Like I said I can't post everything at once or it would take too long and be overwhelming to read it all, but I certainly know about the CA drought...had to drill a new well last year and still paying for it.

There is a lot of greed out there and I think it is destroying the earth.

The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.” Rev. 11:18

So many people whining about what is but instead of trying to solve any of it they await a savior.

Kind of ruins all the "woe is me" stuff, don't it?

The difference is that so many indications are happening all at once now, including the number one event of the nation of Israel in the land again, which was not a reality over the last 1900 years until 1948.

well...if people don't want to listen to us, they will go on destroying this planet.

people use their freewill and I cannot force them to do otherwise, because I would deprive them of their freedom

Listen to "us" meaning who? Climate change experts or Bible-thumpers?

Way I see it only one has the science to back their call for change.

Who is whining? It's not about whining, a woe is me attitude, or no problem solving, but being aware.

Calmly watching, praying for the world to end. How angsty.

Are you praying for the world to end? I'm not, but neither am I hiding my head in the sand or ignoring the obvious.

you know...scientists can believe in God too.
besides Earth belongs to God, we are its guests. and we were supposed to respect it and not to pollute it

Ignoring the obvious you have yet to do. Your solution to the problem isn't one though. It amounts to resignation and actively cheering on the end of existence.

Actually, evidence suggests that while the current drout may be the worst in recorded human history, it is far from the worst drout recorded in the tissue of still living trees. There is very much evidence to suggest that what he consider to be a devastating drout may actually be the normal condition. The past 100 years have been exceedingly wet when compared to the past 5,000 years.

Part of the problem I see is that we are in the information age. In the past folks were aware of only a small percentage of what went on in their own regions, much less globally. Today we here about things like this hourly. It doesn't mean it occurs any more frequently, given the opportunities to occur, then in the past.

Despite what ever you will take from the news, things like war, violence, crime, poverty and chaos are at an all time low.

Actually, if they listen to you they may figure, hey JC is coming soon, we are coverd in his blood, might as well ride the wheels off this clucker. That's the problem with focusing on the hereafter rather than the here and now.

Yes, scientist can believe in god too. But only if they choose not to apply the scientific method to the question.

Actually, the bible teaches we are to “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything."

So as you can see, we are not its guests, if one accepts the bible, we are its master, it's owner, as god gave it to us, and all living things shoud fear and dread us. Sounds to me like those that have destroyed the earth are the TRUE christians.
