The 'Compressed Disasters' Understanding Puts Things In A Clearer, Calmer Light!!

     If you're going to be one of the 'COOL KIDS' these days you have to believe that the Earth is on fire and only people who can't tell a boy from a girl are smart enough to save it.  Global catastrophism...all the rage.

     Here's the cure I think:  Do common sense local things all over the planet to show some love for nature and animals and plants and natural water bodies.  Harvest sustainably.  Grow some of your own food and some of your own town's food and store some of that away.  Stop poaching of fish and plants and wildlife so the sensible limits placed on harvesting can have their desired effect.  Reduce pollution.  These are all sound and sensible and responsible paths.  Sensible Christian paths also.  Christians are supposed to be good stewards. 

     But the world and its climates and ecosystems always have changed greatly as time passed.  Scientists and Christians and atheists all agree on that much, I think.  But Christians who believe the Bible's narrative say it's all about 6,000 years old.  Scientists say billions of years old.  Atheists I won't speak for, but my impression is that more lean towards the scientific view.  But if Christians (and Jews and Muslims) are correct, and the Earth is about 6,000 years old, then every epic planet wide disaster or change that you've ever been taught about happened in the last 6,000 years.  So, that means that peaceful stable times do not last long on this planet and never have.  In fact, we have had some extremely stable millennia lately, all things considered. 

     So, good stewardship?  Cooperative management between adjoining areas?  Yes!  A world government to direct us in our efforts?  No...no, no, no, not by any means!!  They would misuse that power in a hot heartbeat.  They would only ever see any sort of power in any area whatsoever as a tool for leveraging the world to embrace other steps of their plan.  They are not capable of intending goodness for all of humanity.  They actually see the majority of humanity as being a great part of the problem.  They are about being themselves, serving themselves, helping themselves, enriching themselves for Satan and self indulgence.  The World Government idea is a Satanic type idea.  If humans were intrinsically good it could be an excellent idea.  WE ARE NOT INTRINSICALLY GOOD!  We literally need God's teachings, specifically Jesus' teachings that God the Father sent us through the Son, because we couldn't obey the Father's teachings through Moses.  Above and beyond that, we need Jesus to take over and reign as He knows is best.  And the Letter to the Corinthians says that once Jesus is Lord over it all, He will turn and give it all to the Father Almighty so that, fittingly, the Holy Father will be all in all.  Then things shall be as they ought to be. 

     So, all of the volcanic ages and ice ages and elevated temperature eras, etc., were either spread out over billions of years, or over 6,000 years.  If the answer is 6,000 years, then oceans should rise dramatically at times and glaciers and ice caps should melt and/or form frequently, and periods of great volcanic activity should be frequent.  Asteroids should impact us pretty often as meteorites and species won't all necessarily survive (though we should care about them and see what care can be given them.  But if all of the known catastrophes are packed into 6,000 years and not billions then we've been living in a golden age of relative stability these last 2,000 years or more!  The Bible says the final years will be horribly deadly and destructive...the sight of a man will be rare upon the Earth at one point, it assures us!  Entire oceans will be dead!  Lifeless seas!  A book that has never given us a false prophecy says these things are coming one day, we're not certain how soon exactly.

     So, how many times can you be killed in the flesh?  Christians believe that all of us will probably die an Earthly, fleshly death.  So we pretty much all will experience fleshly death.  Then we will rise for our judgement one day.  Were we killed by pneumonia, saber toothed tiger, measles, flu, war or weaponry, heart attack, a wounded mastodon, a dog bite, and angry dinosaur, a car wreck or a collapsing building, did we / will we freeze to death or die of thirst?  We will see!  But a planetary disaster kills you once, a bullet kills you once, cancer kills you once and so does a stroke.  You won't feel pain on a planetary scale if you are killed by a planetary disaster.  It should be a sort of pain very relatable to many other more mundane sorts of death.

     Going to Hell, though...being consigned to Hell...would exceed the pain of any sort of fleshly death, and not even death could make it go away.  So, what can the New World Order people with their hollow warnings of impending world disaster (of course they will be right someday...God, who actually does know, has foretold that such things are coming!) offer to you that would offset the never ending pains and agonies of Hell?  So take Jesus' offer...repent and be baptized and follow Him and count on His righteousness covering your objectionable and insufficient self to pacify and turn aside the well earned and long justified wrath of our Holy Father, because our own righteousness cannot ever do it.  Impending world calamity claims?  That's the small stuff.  Don't sweat the small stuff.  God manages world affairs, we just try to be good care takers in the mean time, working to please God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit...not the human New World Order bubbling fountains of feigned goodness and carefully calculated, overly theatricized, canned and made for T.V. displays of compassion.  They're just working a plan, and your welfare is not part of the plan.  Service to Jesus and the Father is not part of their plan.  Getting the better of Jesus and ruining God's plan is their plan.  Not a wise plan, but yep!...that's their plan.  Who's side shall we be on?  There is a plan in the future to give us all a mark, and without the mark we cannot buy things or sell things.  Lacking the mark is pretty close to a death sentence.  But we Christians are told not to ever take that mark under any circumstances.  Not to save your darling children, not to save yourself, etc.  We simply cannot take this mark...it is expressly and eternally forbidden.  It shall be on the right hand/right arm or on the forehead/maybe face.  Those are the two mentioned anatomical locations.  We are warned in the Bible very specifically...DON'T DARE TAKE THE MARK, IT COSTS YOU YOUR ETERNAL SALVATION.  And hey what's it going to do to reject taking it...kill you?  You were going to die anyway.  Same with our children.  So, if we find ourself to be in that generation, then we give God a great show of faith and just accept His warning as law!  Will it kill you?  Maybe for a bit, but the Christian will get over it soon enough.
