Katrina, You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet!
Quote:
Do you think there's a connection between alleged natural disasters getting worse and people not getting a better relationship with God? "With all thy getting get understanding" Prov. 4:7. "I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labors of your hands; yet ye turned not to Me, saith the Lord" Haggai 2:17. What's the message from Mr. El Nino or Ms. Katrina? Nothing, because those are just cute names attached to temperature and wind, much like the personified Mother Nature. Would it be too far fetched for the weatherman to pray 'live - on the air' for a tornado to miss a community? He might get fired. "Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain. The Lord will make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, grass in the field for everyone" Zech. 10:1.
Might destructive weather be a means to get people's attention? To turn to God for help? Could God solve the weather problem? After a tornado ripped apart his town, a local man interviewed on TV said, "Maybe someone up there isn't happy with us." "I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city… yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith the Lord" Amos 4:7-8.
If we examine the principle of 'rejected Sovereignty', when the Israelites wanted a king like the other nations and in essence saying that God should not reign over them (I Sam. 8:6-7), then by the same token, we should not be surprised that God's weather is also forfeited and substituted with man's weather. If there's an absence of the Christian ethic in science and technology, you can expect the presence of an ethical tohu (formlessness).
God told our ancestors, "If ye shall hearken diligently unto My commandments… then I will give you the rain of your land in its due season" Deut. 11:13-14. Yes, every time like clockwork. It will be normal predictable weather year after year. Again, Ezekiel tells us prophetically that when we are cleansed of idols and given a new heart and a new spirit, God will move us to keep His law, "And I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you" (Ezek. 36:25-29). We have a choice between the hardened hearts of Monsanto getting rich on chemically fertilized, genetically altered hybrid corn for our diet or obeying God's way of giving us an undefiled natural diet for health and happiness.
Paradise before the Fall must have had perfect weather and beautiful agricultural conditions. Notice, however, that two trees (of life and of knowledge of good and evil) were presented as a condition to maintain the utopian state. Whatever they were literally, takes a backseat to the violation which reconstituted the mechanics of the tohu va bohu. That forbidden fruit, which is symbolic of the cause of cognitive dissonance (CD), was and still is our own self will over God's will. Make no mistake about it, those who willingly fail to worship the King, Jesus Christ, "Even upon them shall be no rain" Zech. 14:17. In principle, this means the world we live in today is wrought with apostasy and even the Christian should prepare their lives to feel the impact of further unseasonable, unpredictable, catastrophic weather, caused by both fallen man and by the Most High. But, comfort yourself by overcoming the CD, having the wisdom that each day is one day closer to the Day of the Lord and His return.
