Hailstones
Weighing
As
Much As Seventy-five Pounds Fell From The Sky
Onto
The People Below.
Scripture
Revelation
16
21 There
was a terrible hailstorm, and hailstones weighing as much as
seventy-five pounds fell
from the sky onto the people below. They cursed God because of the
terrible plague of the hailstorm.
Observation
You
want to see “climate change” - Revelation 16 describes some
serious climate change! Seventy-five-pound chunks of ice coming down
from the sky, now, that is some serious climate change!
Sadly,
instead of repenting of their sins, the people cursed God because of
the plague of the seventy-five-pound hailstorm!
The
terrible future events that we find in Revelation are hard to read
about!
So
it is a good thing for me that I know how the story ends!
We
blame current climate change or what we think is climate change on
all kinds of different things, but in Revelation God tells us the
cause of climate change. It is caused by man's rebellion against God.
It is caused by our sinfulness!
Strongest
hurricanes on record, coldest winters, hottest summers, enormous
fires, these are just the beginning – we haven't seen
seventy-five-pound hailstones yet!
I
don't know about you but I am glad that I have a personal
relationship with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I am glad that
the Creator of this entire Universe calls me friend!
John
15:12-14
12 This is
my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved
you. 13 There is no greater
love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You
are my friends if you do what I command.
Daniel
2
“Praise
the name of God forever and ever,
for he has all wisdom and power.
for he has all wisdom and power.
21 He
controls the course of world events;
he removes kings and sets up other kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the scholars.
he removes kings and sets up other kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the scholars.
22 He
reveals deep and mysterious things
and knows what lies hidden in darkness,
though he is surrounded by light.
and knows what lies hidden in darkness,
though he is surrounded by light.
Application
I
will view all the changes in our climate from the perspective of
God's Word. God is in control of world events!
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I love reading the story of Daniel. In Daniel and in
Revelation You have made it perfectly clear that You are in charge of
world events. When storms, droughts, floods, heatwaves, and freezing
temperatures all set new records it shouldn't come as a surprise
because I know that You plan to use all of those to try to get our
attention! I want You to know that You have my attention. I plan to
live for You.
I
pray for all of those impacted by our last hurricane. I pray that
many of them, because of the love that is hopefully being poured out
on them will place their trust and their hope in You. Help them,
Lord, in their time of need.
I
pray for my granddaughter Sierra today on her birthday. And I also
pray for Pastor Rapley Armstrong today on his birthday. Bless them
both, Lord!
