God-Caused
Climate Change
The original ‘Man-Made Global
Warming’ was altered by the Climate Change crowd to ‘Man-Made Climate
Change’ and then reduced to mere ‘Climate Change’. While they still
believe man’s use of fossil fuels is directly responsible for drastic
climate fluctuations and events, the lack of scientific evidence
linking ‘Man’ directly to a changing climate makes ‘Climate Change’
appear more palatable to the ignorant masses.
The biblical record makes a strong
case for ‘God-Caused Climate Change’. The first reference to a
‘climate’ event is found in Genesis 2:6: “But there went up a MIST from
the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.” God
used MIST as his watering agent because “the LORD God had not CAUSED it
to RAIN upon the earth” (2:5). In Genesis 7:4, after
commanding Noah to “Come” into the Ark, God gave him a ‘heads-up’ on
what to expect next: “For
yet seven days, and I will CAUSE it to RAIN upon the earth forty days
and forty nights.”
Fifteen-hundred years had elapsed
between Genesis 2:5 and 7:4, between “had not CAUSED it to rain” and “I
will CAUSE it to rain.” There are NO other references to rain between
the two. That first rain, which would destroy EVERY living thing EXCEPT
what was in the Ark, was a torrential, cataclysmic GOD-CAUSED Climate
event! Every time God sets his rainbow in the sky (9:13)
following a rain event, it is a reminder that (1) his covenant with the
earth is still in tact, and (2) he was the primary CAUSE behind the
Climate event that destroyed it.
It’s worth noting the next reference
to “rain” as a Climate event came with the seventh plague upon Egypt
(Exodus 9:22-26). God rained “very grievous” hail mingled with fire,
accompanied by thunder. We’re not told the size of the hailstones. But
the fact they killed “both man and beast” and broke “every tree of the
field” (9:25) suggests something the size of softballs. Again, this
seventh plague was a GOD-CAUSED Climate event.
The dozens of biblical references to
Climate events—rain, in particular—are almost always
associated with either a divine blessing (abundance) or a
cursing (drought), and ALL of them GOD-CAUSED! We CANNOT say
with certainty EVERY disastrous Climate event
is God-caused. But we CAN say with certitude EVERY
adverse Climate event is FAR more likely to be GOD-CAUSED than MAN-MADE!
The Climate Change crowd, which
expends so much of its energy opposing the CONSUMPTION of fossil fuels,
would BETTER serve the global community by opposing the
COMMISSION of sin against the Creator of heaven and earth! Moreover, if
God is the cause behind a Climate event, it is pure hubris on the part
of man to think he can prevent it!
