Climate Change Effect 7: GOD SENDS WILD BEASTS, SNAKES, and INSECTS TO ATTACK & PUNISH PEOPLE!

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS

Snakes are elongate legless carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes that can be distinguished from legless lizards by their lack of eyelids and external ears. Like all squamates, snakes are ectothermic amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with many more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws. 

In order to accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca. Living snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica and most islands.

Fifteen families are currently recognized comprising 456 genera and over 2,900 species. They range in size from the tiny, 10 cm long thread snake to pythons and anacondas of up to 7.6 metres (25 ft) in length. The recently discovered fossil Titanoboa was 13 metres (43 ft) long. Most species are non-venomous and those that have venom use it primarily to kill and subdue prey rather than self-defense. Some possess venom potent enough to cause painful injury or death to humans. Those which are non-venomous either swallow prey alive or kill it via constriction. -- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 

CLIMATE CHANGE AFFECTS BEHAVIOR OF WILD BEASTS AND SNAKES! 

As the environment of the animals in the wild are affected by Climate Change, they become so hungry and wild that they proceed to inhabited places and attack people. 

• How the animals groan! The herds of cattle wander in confusion since they have no pasture. Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment. (Joe 1:18)

WHAT GOD SAYS 

• ...I will unleash on them wild beasts with fangs, as well as venomous snakes that slither in the dust. (Deu 32:24)

• Indeed, I am about to send snakes among you, poisonous vipers that cannot be charmed. They will bite you. This is the LORD's declaration. (Jer 8:17) 

• Then the LORD sent poisonous snakes among the people, and they bit them so that many Israelites died. (Num 21:6)

• The people then came to Moses and said, "We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you. Intercede with the LORD so that He will take the snakes away from us." And Moses interceded for the people. (Num 21:7)

The Israelites did the right thing when they were bitten by snakes -- they acknowledged their sins and asked God for forgiveness. Then God provided the right solution. We should follow the Israelites example. 

• And if you walk contrary to Me, and will not listen to Me, I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins. (Lev 26:21 MKJV)

• I will send wild animals against you that will deprive you of your children, ravage your livestock, and reduce your numbers until your roads are deserted. (Lev 26:22)

• For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine. (Psa 50:10-11 MKJV)

Climate Change Effect 6: GLOBAL DIMMING AND DARKNESS!

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS ABOUT DARKNESS

Darkness (also called lightlessness) is the absence of light. Scientifically it is only possible to have a reduced amount of light. The emotional response to an absence of light has inspired metaphor in literature, symbolism in art, and emphasis.

A dark area has limited light sources, making things hard to see. Exposure to alternating light and darkness (night and day) has caused several evolutionary adaptations to darkness. When a vertebrate, like a human, enters a dark area, its iris dilates, allowing more light to enter the eye and improving night vision. Also, the light detecting cells in the human eye (rods and cones) will regenerate more unbleached rhodopsin when adapting to darkness.

The scientific definition of light includes the entire electromagnetic spectrum, not just visible light, so it is scientifically impossible to create perfect darkness. For example, all objects radiate heat in the form of infrared light and gamma rays, extremely high frequency light, can penetrate even dense materials. --Wikipedia the Free Encyclopedia

WHAT GOD SAYS

• When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light. (Eze 32:7)

• I will darken all the shining lights in the heavens over you, and will bring darkness on your land. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD. (Eze 32:8) 

• I will work wonders in the sky above and on the earth below. There will be blood and fire and clouds of smoke. (Joe 2:30 CEV)

• But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies. (Nah 1:8 KJV)

• He bowed the heavens also, and came down. And darkness was under His feet. (2Sa 22:10 MKJV)

• He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds. (2Sa 22:12) 

• I form light and create darkness, I make success and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things. (Isa 45:7)

• I will display wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below: blood and fire and a cloud of smoke. (Act 2:19)

• The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and remarkable day of the Lord comes. (Act 2:20) 　  

• The sun will turn dark, and the moon will be as red as blood before that great and terrible day when I appear. (Joe 2:31 CEV)

• Then I saw Him open the 6th seal. A violent earthquake occurred; the sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair; the entire moon became like blood. (Rev 6:12)

• The 4th angel blew his trumpet, and a 3rd of the sun was struck, a 3rd of the moon, and a 3rd of the stars, so that a 3rd of them were darkened. A 3rd of the day was without light, and the night as well. (Rev 8:12)

• The 5th poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues from pain and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, yet they did not repent of their actions. (Rev 16:10-11)

• ...The Day of the LORD is coming; in fact, it is near-- a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and dense overcast, like the dawn spreading over the mountains... (Joe 2:1-2)

Climate Change Effect 4: GOD IGNITES WILDFIRES

WHAT MAN SAYS

A wildfire is any uncontrolled fire that occurs in the countryside or a wilderness area. Reflecting the type of vegetation or fuel, other names such as brush fire, bushfire, forest fire, grass fire, hill fire, peat fire, vegetation fire, and wildland fire may be used to describe the same phenomenon.

A wildfire differs from other fires by its extensive size, the speed at which it can spread out from its original source, and its ability to change direction unexpectedly and to jump gaps, such as roads, rivers and fire breaks. Wildfires are characterized in terms of their physical properties such as speed of propagation; the combustible material present; the effect of weather on the fire; and the cause of ignition. 

The name wildfire was once a synonym for Greek fire as well as a word for any furious or destructive conflagration. Buildings are not usually involved unless the fire spreads to adjacent communities and threatens these structures. 

Wildfires have a rapid forward rate of spread (FROS) when fueled by dense uninterrupted vegetation, particularly in wooded areas with canopies. They can escalate as fast as 10.8 kilometers per hour (6.7 mph) in forests and 22 kilometers per hour (14 mph) in grasslands. The ability of a wildfire's burning front to change direction unexpectedly and jump across fire breaks is another identifying characteristic. Intense heat and smoke can lead to disorientation and loss of appreciation of the direction of the fire. These factors make fires particularly dangerous: In the Australian February 2009 Victorian bushfires, at least 173 people died and over 2,029 homes and 3,500 structures were lost when they became engulfed by wildfire. -- Wikipedia the Free Encyclopedia. 

Washington: Warming and Wildfires

WHAT GOD SAYS

• I (Christ) came to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already set ablaze! (Luke 12:49) 

• And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it; it shall not be quenched. (Eze 20:48 JPS) 

• Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like straw before the wind. As fire burns a forest, as a flame blazes through mountains, so pursue them with Your tempest and terrify them with Your storm. (Psa 83:13-15) 

FIRE HAS BEEN KINDLED BECAUSE OF GOD'S ANGER

• They have provoked My jealousy with their so-called gods; they have enraged Me with their worthless idols...fire has been kindled because of My anger and burns to the depths of Sheol; it devours the land and its produce, and scorches the foundations of the mountains. (Deu 32:21-22)

• I will punish you according to what you have done--this is the LORD's declaration. I will kindle a fire in its forest that will consume everything around it. (Jer 21:14) 

• For wickedness burns like a fire that consumes thorns and briers and kindles the forest thickets so that they go up in a column of smoke. (Isa 9:18) 

• Say to the forest of the South: Hear the word of the LORD: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree, it shall not be quenched, even a flaming flame; and all faces from the south to the north shall be seared thereby. (Eze 20:47 JPS) 

• I call to You, LORD, for fire has consumed the pastures of the wilderness, and flames have devoured all the trees of the countryside. (Joe 1:19) 

• Even the wild animals cry out to You, for the river beds are dried up, and fire has consumed the pastures of the wilderness. (Joe 1:20) 

• A fire destroys in front of them, and behind them a flame devours. The land in front of them is like the Garden of Eden, but behind them, it is like a desert wasteland; there is no escape from them. (Joe 2:3) 

• The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. (Rev 8:7 KJV)

Climate Change Purpose 5: TO SEEK AND RETURN TO THE TRUE GOD, NOT IDOLS!

 

DO YOU WANT TO ESCAPE CLIMATE CHANGE TRAGEDIES? Then Seek Only The True God, Not Idols and Idolaters!

• For the LORD says ... Seek Me and live! (Amo 5:4)

• Honor His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Search for the LORD and for His strength; seek His face always. (1Ch 16:10-11)

• Seek the LORD and live, or He will spread like fire throughout the house...it will consume everything, with no one at Bethel to extinguish it. (Amo 5:6)

• For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the Heavens. (1Ch 16:26)

AVOID IDOLATROUS CHURCHES AND PRACTICES!

Do not seek advice and prayer from false churches, with their lying and deceptive pastors and priests. Don’t go to those groups and churches who are practicing idolatry. This means don’t fellowship with them, don’t worship with them.

SEEK THE TRUE GOD ONLY. And fellowship only with those people who served the True Creator God of the Universe. The following scripture and the corresponding explanation proved what I am saying.

• But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought. (Amo 5:5 KJV)

From John Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible:

But seek not Bethel... Do not go to Bethel, the place where one of Jeroboam's calves was set up and worshipped, to consult the oracle, idols, and priests there; or to perform religious worship, which will be your ruin, if not prevented by another course of living: 

nor enter into Gilgal; another place of idolatry, where idols were set up and worshipped See Gill on Amo_4:4; 

and pass not to Beersheba; a place in the further part of the land of Israel; it formerly belonged to Judah, but was now in the hands of the ten tribes, and where idolatrous worship was practised; see Amo_8:14; it having been a place where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, had dwelt, and worshipped the true God:

for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity; that is, the inhabitants of it; they will not be able with their idols and idol worship to save themselves, and therefore go not thither. There is an elegant play on words here (b), as there is also in the next words:

and Bethel shall come to nought; which also was called Bethaven, the house of vanity, or of an idol which is nothing in the world; and therefore, because of the idolatry in it, should come to nothing, be utterly destroyed, and the inhabitants of it. So the Targum, "they, that are in Gilgal, and worship calves in Bethel.''-- GILL

• But if you shall seek the LORD your God from there, you shall find Him, if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. (Deu 4:29 MKJV)

• When you are in trouble and when all these things have found you in the latter days, then you shall return to the LORD your God and shall be obedient to His voice. (Deu 4:30 MKJV)

• For the LORD your God is a merciful God; He will not forsake you, nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them. (Deu 4:31 MKJV)

ANYONE WHO DOES NOT SEEK THE LORD IS GUARANTEED TO DO EVIL!

• And he did that which was evil, because he set not his heart to seek the LORD. (2Ch 12:14 JPS)

• ... know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands the intention of every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever. (1Ch 28:9)

SEEK THE LORD AND BUILD HIS TEMPLE!

• Now set your heart and your soul to seek after the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of the LORD God... (1Ch 22:19 HNV)

Climate Change Effect 3: GLOBAL WARMING AND EXTREME HEAT (Super Typhoons, Glaciers Melting, Sea Level Rising)

MAN IS CONFUSED AND TERRIFIED ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING. And He Does Not Know What To Do!

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the last century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that increasing greenhouse gas concentrations resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation caused most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century. The IPCC also concludes that variations in natural phenomena such as solar radiation and volcanoes produced most of the warming from pre-industrial times to 1950 and had a small cooling effect afterward. 

An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, probably including expansion of subtropical deserts. The continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice is expected, with warming being strongest in the Arctic. Other likely effects include increases in the intensity of extreme weather events, species extinctions, and changes in agricultural yields. 

Political and public debate continues regarding climate change, and what actions (if any) to take in response. The available options are mitigation to reduce further emissions; adaptation to reduce the damage caused by warming; and, more speculatively, geoengineering to reverse global warming. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. -- Wikipedia the Free Encyclopedia

GLOBAL RACE: CLIMATE CHANGE VS ENERGY C.E.R.

Man, in an attempt to solve Global Warming, is now embarking in a Global Energy CER (Conservation, Efficiency, Renewable). But the fact is Global Warming is faster than Energy CER.

WHY MAN CANNOT SOLVE CLIMATE CHANGE BY HIMSELF!

This is because the root-cause of Climate Change is the disconnection between Science & Technology, and Religion & Morality. These two must be connected or merged! And the only power to do this is God's MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM!

Climate Change is not only about carbon footprints and storage, as many engineers and scientist are suggesting as solutions. It also involves CFC's, airplane contrails, and air pollution, which cause Global Dimming/Global Cooling. Then we have the Ozone Layer Depletion caused mostly by refrigerants. 

Man cannot solve Climate Change by engineering or scientific methods. Climate change can only be solved by including and merging Spiritual Technologies with the physical technologies.

The great scope and magnitude of the destructive Climate Change Effects that developed since the Industrial Revolution is beyond human solutions now. Yes, we can do little or big actions of our own to help, but we must face the fact that man is nowhere to go except to return to God by repentance and spiritual transformation. 

WE MUST LISTEN TO GOD NOW. GOD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THE SOLUTIONS!

CLIMATE CHANGE is God’s warning to each one of us, that we should change our thinking and lifestyle. If not, all our efforts are just talks and commercials. And we pay the price of destruction, sufferings, and death! 

We must be wise enough to really understand Climate Change. We must listen to God Himself, as He explains the causes and solutions to the fearsome Climate Change! 

• Who is the man wise enough to understand this? Who has the LORD spoken to, that he may explain it? Why is the land destroyed and scorched like a wilderness, so no one can pass through? (Jer 9:12) 

• As dry ground and heat snatch away the melted snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned. (Job 24:19)

• Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like straw before the wind. As fire burns a forest, as a flame blazes through mountains, so pursue them with Your tempest and terrify them with Your storm. (Psa 83:13-15) 

• On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. (Psa 11:6 HNV) 

• And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. (Rev 16:8 KJV) 

• People were burned by the intense heat. So they blasphemed the name of God who had the power over these plagues, and they did not repent and give Him glory. (Rev 16:9) 

THE FACT THAT ALL THINGS WILL BE BURNED, WHAT KIND OF PERSON SHOULD YOU BE? Why Not Live Now in Holy Behavior and Godliness, which is the ONLY Way of Escape!

• But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat. And the earth and the works in it will be burned up. (2Pe 3:10 MKJV)

• Then, all these things being about to be dissolved, what sort ought you to be in holy behavior and godliness, looking for and rushing the coming of the Day of God, on account of which the heavens, being on fire, will melt away, and the elements will melt, burning with heat? (2Pe 3:11-12 MKJV) 

WHY DESTRUCTIVE CLIMATE CHANGE?

• The LORD said, "It is because they abandoned My law I set in front of them and did not obey My voice or walk according to it. (Jer 9:13) 

• Instead, they followed the stubbornness of their hearts and the Baals, as their fathers taught them. (Jer 9:14)

Climate Change Effect 2: FAMINE (FOOD SHORTAGES, HUNGER)!

A famine is a widespread scarcity of food that may apply to any faunal species, which phenomenon is usually accompanied by regional malnutrition, starvation, epidemic, and increased mortality. In many regions of the world as of 2009, there is ongoing famine among a considerable fraction of the human population.

WHAT MAN SAYS  

Famine is caused by a human overpopulation relative to the available food supply; it may be accentuated by natural climate fluctuations and by extreme political conditions such as tyrannical government or warfare. One of the largest historical famines (proportional to the affected population) was the Great Famine in Ireland, which began in 1845 and occurred as food was being shipped from Ireland to England because only the English could afford to pay higher prices. In certain cases, such as the Great Leap Forward (The largest famine in absolute terms), North Korea in the mid-1990s, or Zimbabwe in the early-2000s, famine can be caused as an unintentional result of government policy. Many famines are caused by imbalance of food production compared to the large populations of countries whose population exceeds the regional carrying capacity. 

Historically, famines have occurred from agricultural problems such as drought, crop failure, or pestilence. Changing weather patterns, the ineffectiveness of medieval governments in dealing with crises, wars, and epidemic diseases like the Black Death helped to cause hundreds of famines in Europe during the Middle Ages. The failure of a harvest or the change in conditions, such as drought, can create a situation whereby large numbers of people live where the carrying capacity of the land has temporarily dropped radically. 

Famine is often associated with subsistence agriculture, that is, where most farming is aimed at producing enough food energy to survive. The total absence of agriculture in an economically strong area does not cause famine; Disasters, whether natural or man-made, have been associated with conditions of famine ever since humankind has been keeping written records. War, in particular, was associated with famine, particularly in those times and places where warfare included attacks on land, by burning or salting fields, or on those who tilled the soil. --Wikipedia the Free Encyclopedia  
 
WHAT GOD SAYS

• I gave you absolutely nothing to eat in all your cities, a shortage of food in all your communities, yet you did not return to Me--the LORD's declaration. (Amo 4:6)

• There will be violent earthquakes, and famines and plagues in various places, and there will be terrifying sights and great signs from heaven. (Luke 21:11)

• Be ashamed, you farmers, wail, you vinedressers, over the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field has perished. (Joe 1:11)

• The grapevine is dried up, and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, the date palm, and the apple--all the trees of the orchard--have withered. Indeed, human joy has dried up. (Joe 1:12)

• ...There will be no grapes on the vine, no figs on the fig tree, and even the leaf will wither. Whatever I have given them will be lost to them. (Jer 8:13)

• Dress in sackcloth and lament, you priests; wail, you ministers of the altar. Come and spend the night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God, because grain and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God. (Joe 1:13) 

• Hasn't the food been cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God? (Joe 1:16)

• The seeds lie shriveled in their casings. The storehouses are in ruin, and the granaries are broken down, because the grain has withered away. (Joe 1:17)

• A poor man that oppresseth the weak is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. (Pro 28:3 JPS)

• When I cut off your supply of bread, 10 women will bake your bread in a single oven and ration out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied. (Lev 26:26)

• And if in spite of this you do not obey Me but act with hostility toward Me, I will act with furious hostility toward you; I will also discipline you seven times for your sins. (Lev 26:27-28)

• You will eat the flesh of your sons; you will eat the flesh of your daughters. (Lev 26:29)

• How the animals groan! The herds of cattle wander in confusion since they have no pasture. Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment. (Joe 1:18)

Climate Change Cause 3: OPPRESSION OF THE POOR, WEAK, AND NEEDY

52

God saw all the sins that are abomination to Him. Then He strikes the earth using Climate Change to punish and destroy the wicked society that neglects, and even oppressed the poor.

By: LOPE COLUMNA

Messianic-Kabbalist Pastor General

The BRIDE OF CHRIST MINISTRY OF LIFE

SODOM AND GOMMORAH OPPRESSED THE POOR AND NEEDY

• Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is immense, and their sin is extremely serious. I will go down to see if what they have done justifies the cry that has come up to Me. If not, I will find out. (Gen 18:20-21)

• This was the iniquity of ... Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, plenty of food, and comfortable security, but didn't support the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before Me, so I removed them when I saw this. (Eze 16:49-50) 

• ...Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them committed sexual immorality and practiced perversions, just as they did, and serve as an example by undergoing the punishment of eternal fire. (Jude 1:7)

• Then the LORD rained burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah from the LORD out of the sky. He overthrew these cities, the entire plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and whatever grew on the ground. (Gen 19:24-25)

• ... He reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes and condemned them to ruin, making them an example to those who were going to be ungodly. (2Pe 2:6)

• I overthrew some of you as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick snatched from a fire, yet you did not return to Me -- the LORD's declaration. (Amo 4:11)

STOP THE OPPRESSION OF THE POOR PEOPLE

• Thus saith the LORD; ...deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. (Jer 21:12 KJV)

• A poor man that oppresseth the weak is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. (Pro 28:3 JPS)

• This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him from all his troubles. (Psa 34:6)

• Because of the oppression of the afflicted and the groaning of the poor, I will now rise up," says the LORD... (Psa 12:5)

GOVERNMENT LEADERS ARE PLUNDERING THE POOR!

• The LORD brings this charge against the elders and leaders of His people: "You have devastated the vineyard. The plunder from the poor is in your houses. (Isa 3:14)

• Why do you crush My people and grind the faces of the poor?" says the Lord GOD of Hosts. (Isa 3:15)

• He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. (Psa 72:4 KJV)

HERE ARE THE RIGHT THINGS TO DO

• You must not act unjustly when rendering judgment. Do not be partial to the poor or give preference to the rich; judge your neighbor fairly. (Lev 19:15)

• Do not oppress a hired hand who is poor and needy, whether one of your brothers or one of the foreigners residing within a town in your land. (Deu 24:14)

• You are to pay him his wages each day before the sun sets, because he is poor and depends on them. Otherwise he will cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be held guilty. (Deu 24:15)

• Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. (Pro 31:9 MKJV)

Climate Change Cause 2: LACK OF JUSTICE, DELAYED JUSTICE, INJUSTICE!

Today, generally speaking, it is well known that justice is in favor of the rich and powerful, perverting it to most bitter wrong. As justice is sweet, so injustice is bitter to the victims. "Wormwood" is from a Hebrew root, to "execrate," on account of its bitter qualities. So today, the world’s justice system is also corrupted by being one-sided leaning toward the rich, the powerful, and to those who can afford the service of "brilliant" lawyers. 

By: LOPE COLUMNA

Messianic-Kabbalist Engineer 

EXECUTE JUSTICE

• ...this is what the LORD says: Administer justice every morning, and rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor, or My anger will flare up like fire and burn unquenchably because of their evil deeds.  (Jer 21:12) 

• I will punish you according to what you have done--this is the LORD's declaration. I will kindle a fire in its forest that will consume everything around it.'"  (Jer 21:14)

• Those who turn justice into wormwood throw righteousness to the ground. (Amo 5:7) 

• For the LORD commands: The large house will be smashed to pieces, and the small house to rubble. (Amo 6:11)

• Do horses run on rock, or does someone plow it with oxen? Yet you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood. (Amo 6:12)

Today, generally speaking, it is well known that justice is in favor of the rich and powerful, perverting it to most bitter wrong. As justice is sweet, so injustice is bitter to the victims. "Wormwood" is from a Hebrew root, to "execrate," on account of its bitter qualities. So today, the world’s justice system is also corrupted by being one-sided leaning toward the rich, the powerful, and to those who can afford the service of brilliant lawyers.

From John Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible. This seems to be spoken to lawmakers and judges, in whose hands is the administration of justice, and who often pervert it, as these did here addressed and complained of; that which was the most useful and salubrious, and so the most desirable to the commonwealth, namely, just judgment, was changed into the reverse, what was as bitter and as disagreeable as wormwood; or "hemlock," as it might be rendered, and as it is in Amo_6:12; even injustice. They leave off doing it among men: or rather, "leave it on the earth" (c); who cast it down to the ground, trampled upon it, and there left it; which is expressive not only of their neglect, but of their contempt of it; see Dan_8:12. -- Gill

• And an army was given to him against the daily sacrifice because of transgression, and it cast the truth to the ground. And it worked and succeeded. (Dan 8:12 MKJV)

• But the LORD of Hosts is exalted by His justice, and the holy God is distinguished by righteousness. (Isa 5:16)

• Woe to those who are wise in their own opinion and clever in their own sight. Woe to those mighty to drink wine, and brave men to mix strong drink; who acquit the guilty for a bribe and deprive the innocent of justice. (Isa 5:21-23)

• Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes straw and as dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will become like something rotten and their blossoms will blow away like dust, for they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of Hosts, and they have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. (Isa 5:24)

• Therefore, the LORD's anger burns against His people. He raised His hand against them and struck them; the mountains quaked, and their corpses were like garbage in the streets. In all this, His anger is not removed, and His hand is still raised to strike. (Isa 5:25)

JUSTICE DELAYED = MORE CRIME AND EVIL

• Because the sentence against a criminal act is not carried out quickly, therefore the heart of people is filled with the desire to commit crime. (Ecc 8:11)

Oftentimes, in modern society, the justice system takes so long to have the final verdict. So the hearts and minds of the criminals are more encouraged to do evil. They are filled with criminal ideas, boldness, and courage, to commit crimes. They then become hardened criminals, victimizing more and more innocent people. Where justice is delayed, there sin dominates. But God saw all these sins that are abomination to Him. Then He strikes the earth using Climate Change to punish and destroy the wicked society that condones these sins of injustice.

HERE IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO

• You must not act unjustly when rendering judgment. Do not be partial to the poor or give preference to the rich; judge your neighbor fairly. (Lev 19:15)

Climate Change Purpose 2: TO EXECUTE JUDGMENT ON ALL FLESH (Isaiah 66:16).

NOTE: Nothing happens in this world, either good or evil, without the express permission and divine purpose of the Creator God.

As Man continue to corrupt and damage God's Earth, God Himself will use the resulting destructive Climate Change to Execute Judgment on Mankind. Measure for Measure. Whatever you sow, you shall reap.

Look, the LORD will come with fire -- His chariots are like the whirlwind -- to execute His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire. (Isa 66:15)

• For the LORD will execute judgment on all flesh with His fiery sword, and many will be slain by the LORD. (Isa 66:16)

• Look up to the Heavens, and look at the Earth beneath; for the Heavens will vanish like smoke, the Earth will wear out like a garment, and its inhabitants will die in like manner. But My salvation will last forever, and My righteousness will never be shattered. (Isa 51:6)

• Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from far away, burning with His anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue is as a devouring fire. (Isa 30:27 HNV)

• His breath is as an overflowing stream (floods) that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction; and a bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples. (Isa 30:28 HNV)

• Our God comes, and He is not silent; a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very stormy all around Him. (Psa 50:3 MKJV)

• He shall call to the Heavens from above, and to the Earth, so that He may judge His people. (Psa 50:4 MKJV)

• You cause judgment to be heard from Heaven; the Earth feared and was still, when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the Earth. (Psa 76:8-9 MKJV)

• When I choose a time, I will judge fairly. When the Earth and all its inhabitants shake, I am the One who steadies its pillars. (Psa 75:2-3)

• For promotion cometh neither from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South. But God is the Judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another. (Psa 75:6-7 KJV)

• I will come to you in judgment, and I will be ready to witness against sorcerers and adulterers; against those who swear falsely; against those who oppress the widow and the fatherless, and cheat the wage earner; and against those who deny justice to the foreigner. They do not fear Me," says the LORD of Hosts. (Mal 3:5)

• For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them. (Psa 75:8 KJV)

• Because you have kept My command to endure, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is going to come over the whole world to test those who live on the Earth. (Rev 3:10)

THE OZONE LAYER DEPLETION: HOW IT CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE/GLOBAL WARMING

The above image is a view of the most recent Antarctic ozone hole, derived from NASA's satellite measurements that monitor the ozone layer. The larger the OZONE HOLE, the greater is the amount of the HEAT and Ultraviolet Rays from the Sun to enter the Earth's atmosphere. This abnormal situation increase the Temperature near the Ground Level (Global Warming) and decrease the Temperature high above in the atmosphere causing Climate Change Disasters.

THE OZONE AS GOOD AND EVIL

Ozone plays two different roles in the atmosphere. Placed near the ground, Ozone is bad and harmful; it is a pollutant caused by human activities. "BAD OZONE" is a major component of health-damaging smog. 

But, if you place ozone high above in the Stratosphere, the ozone becomes "GOOD OZONE" and acts as a shield, filtering out most of the ultraviolet rays from the Sun that is harmful to people, animals, and plants.

The EFFECTS OF OZONE, CFC’S, AND CO2

The Ozone Layer acts to protect life on Earth by blocking harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. The OZONE HOLE is a severe depletion of the ozone layer high above Antarctica. It is primarily caused by MAN-MADE compounds (particularly the refrigerant Freon) that release chlorine and bromine gases in the Stratosphere.

Near the Ground, Ozone became a Greenhouse Gas, and so are CFCs. This means that their presence in the Troposphere contributes to the heightened greenhouse effect. 

But the MAIN GREENHOUSE GAS responsible for the current Global Warming problem is Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The main sources of this CO2 came from the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heating, cooking, and transportation. In addition, oceans and soils release CO2 as they are overheated.


The EARTH'S LAYERS OF ATMOSPHERE

The Earth's layers of atmosphere differ in chemical composition and temperature. They combine to create a protective shield that maintains our delicate energy balance essential for life on Earth. Most weather occurs in the nearest layer, the Troposphere (0-7 miles). 

The Stratosphere is the level where jet airliners fly and the ozone layer resides (7-30 miles). Beyond that is the coldest part of the atmosphere, the Mesosphere where only large helium balloons fly (30-50 miles). Finally, the Thermosphere gradually fades into space (50-180 miles). 

High up in the atmosphere, the loss of stratospheric ozone caused some cooling in that layer of the atmosphere. A much larger effect comes from carbon dioxide, which acts as a cooling agent in the stratosphere, while it warms the atmosphere close to ground level. This paradox happens because the atmosphere becomes thin as you go up. This change the way carbon dioxide molecules absorb and release heat.

Together, the increase in carbon dioxide and the loss of ozone layer caused the record-low temperatures in the stratosphere and still higher up in the thermosphere. This cooling is not good, and it is another sign that increasing levels of carbon dioxide are changing our Earth’s Climate.
