Thirteen years ago Al Gore said we had only one decade left to the save planet earth from “global warming.” The experts said Arctic sea ice would melt entirely by September of 2016. However, earth is doing just fine. The latest satellite images have shown there is far more ice there now than three years ago. In 2006, Gore said, “unless drastic measures to reduce greenhouse gases are taken within the next ten years, the world will reach a point of no return.” He described the threat as a “true planetary emergency.”
It is a scientific fact that earth has not warmed in nearly 20 years, 2015 was recorded as the third warmest year on record on earth. Gore predicted an ice-free Arctic Ocean would happen soon. In 2014 the Arctic ice was thicker than ever. Is anyone thinking, “see Deuteronomy 18:21-22?”
Yet, Global Warming is coming! Peter declared:
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up” (2 Pet. 3:10).
No man living (including Al Gore) knows when that time will be (Matt. 24:36; Mark 13:32-35; 1 Thess. 5:2-3). Peter went on to say,
…what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy living and godliness, looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? (2 Pet. 3:11-12).
Look again: “what manner of persons ought we to be?”
After that “global warming” there will be another “greater warming” for all those unprepared to meet God in judgment. The final judgment is coming for all mankind (John 12:48; Acts 17:31; Rom. 14:10-12; 2 Cor. 5:10; 1 Thess. 5:2; 2 Tim. 4:1; Heb. 9:27; 1 Pet. 4:17-18; 1 John 4:17; Jude 6; Rev. 20:12-14). For those who have neglected to obey the Christ, in that day He shall say to them, “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt. 25:41). That “everlasting fire” is gehenna, the place spoken of as “hell.”
The Word of God does not mince words about that abode prepared for the “devil and his angels” and those who persist in following after Satan! That will be a greater warming than any man who has ever lived can possibly have known in his earthly existence. Here some of the characteristics of that “warming”:
-
“…to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire…” Mark 9:43
-
“…where their worm dieth not…and fire is not quenched…” Mark 9:48
-
“…I am in anguish in this flame…” Luke 16:24
-
“…to be cast into the eternal fire…” Matthew 18:8
-
“…death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire…” Revelation 20:14
-
“…not found in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire…” Rev. 20:15
-
“But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone…” Revelation 21:8
The wildest imaginations of Al Gore and his cohorts concerning so-called “global warming” will be mere child’s play compared to that eternal gehenna, that we read about in God’s inspired and authoritative Word. Therefore, let us ask: “What manner of persons ought ye to be?”
