Global Warming in Scripture

"FOR BEHOLD, the day comes that shall burn like an oven, and all the proud and arrogant, yes, and all that do wickedly and are lawless, shall be stubble; the day that comes shall burn them up, says Yahveh of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch." (Malachi 4:1)

So we see that as the earth is heating up in a strange manner, it is because of the JUDGMENT of Elohim upon the earth. Global Warming is a definite sign of judgment against all wickedness and arrogance. For example, in Israel on Thursday, the homosexuals are scheduled to parade in Jerusalem in the very heart of the Holy City, King David street! Meanwhile, the meteorologists have predicted an extremely hot weekend (following the parade); we will be having 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Farenheit) in the shade in the Jordan Valley!

As wickedness, immorality, homosexuality, anti- Zionism and anti-Semitism continue to escalate, the earth continues to warm up and people are hardly noticing that this is not "mother nature" but Father God! Many believers, for some strange reason, get very uncomfortable when we talk about Elohim's judgment. I wonder why? After all, the Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Covenant portions, are filled with Scripture passages about judgment. We should relate to the fact that the day of Yahveh (The Lord) is a "day of judgment" and that all the signs are here already! We who love righteousness, love His word and His kingdom, should be getting excited about the judgment that is coming! For us there is a great promise and I don't want to miss this one!

"But unto you who revere and worshipfully fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings and His beams, and you shall go forth and gambol like calves [released] from the stall and leap for joy". (Malachi 4:2)

As the earth gets warmed up, and judgment is coming against the ungodly, another kind of "heat" is being prepared for those who fear Yahveh's name! The heat of the Sun of Righteousness and the burning fire of the glory of Yah are being released upon the righteous. And who are the righteous? Those who fear Yahveh's name and His son's name, Y'shua. When we fear the name of someone we also do what He says! It says that for those obedient believers in the God of Israel, the judgment of the wicked will actually bring great JOY! We should be rejoicing, not weeping, over the coming judgment. A little while ago I heard the Spirit of Elohim clearly telling me: "I forbid you to grieve; I don't have time for your grieving!" Well that took me by surprise! But then I realized, every time we grieve over something that He has totally decided to judge, we actually stop His anointing; we quench the Sun of Righteousness that anoints us with the anointing for healing and miracles!
