We walk, work and exist on this earth without any consideration of what we exist on. In fact, we take all of God’s natural creation as if it all belongs to us. We neither appreciate nor do we respect the ground that supplies us with its goodness and nourishment. The earth is treated cruelly and carelessly because we do not understand its role in the total plan of God for mankind. Mankind acts beyond his pay grade. It would be laughable if it was not so tragic that man believes that he must save the planet that he physically works to corrupt. These corrupters cannot save themselves, yet they can save the planet. It is neither in man’s ability nor in his wisdom or power to save the planet. But believing that they are gods blinds these little gods to the reality that they are nothing but dust and will blow away when their bodies lie corrupted in the grave, neither can cremation save them from the judgment of God. They cannot save themselves from death, yet they speak of saving the planet. They cannot stop murder, they cannot stop drugs, they cannot stop human trafficking, they cannot stop illegal elections, they cannot stop bribery, they cannot stop floods, nor earthquakes and they cannot stop themselves from sinning. Yet, they tell us that they can control weather by more taxation. Whenever you hear the words, ‘Save the planet,’ KNOW that they really are saying, CONTROL the people who live on the planet. The little gods who spout off, ‘Save the planet’ have NO intention to SERVE the planet, nor to PROTECT the planet, nor to GUARD the planet . . . . it is to CONTROL the people who live on the planet. Little gods thinking that they can become bigger gods. It is not man’s mission to take control OVER this planet, and herein lies the problem because this planet does not belong to man. Mankind has never been able to correctly and righteously rule over himself, therefore, why would you believe that he can rule over the weather patterns? In Genesis 2:15, God’s directive and mission to Adam was clearly given, And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. Adam was to dress it and to keep it . . . make fit, care, nourish, serve and to keep. If man really wanted to serve, care, nourish and to keep his environment then he would stop poisoning his own food, he would stop polluting his own water, he would stop wars, and he would cease hating and mutilating his own body. Somehow to make fit, care, nourish, serve and to keep does not equate with more taxation.
God created such a great earth that it can heal itself, it can protect itself, it can recover from the diseases of man, it can restore itself from the rape and injuries from the negligence and indifference of sinful man. All man has to do is to STOP sinning. MAN IS UNABLE TO STOP SINNING for sin DNA is part of his humanity. Laws cannot stop man’s destructive nature, nor are laws intended to stop man’s destructive nature. Laws enacted by godless leaders have two purposes: increase their own unearned wealth and to increase sinful depravity among the people. The laws of corrupt lawmakers only lead to more corruption. The very same individuals who speak of ‘saving the planet,’ refuse to give up the very things that could replenish and nourish the earth. No, man cannot save the planet, for saving the planet is not his goal. The goal of man is the same goal as Satan: destroy mankind, destroy the planet, destroy all of God’s creation.
Saving this planet is in God’s determinate will and is under God’s sovereign will and purpose, for this planet will be saved for the one purpose of God to allow mankind to experience one thousand years UNDER the rule of a righteous and holy Ruler, the Lord Jesus Christ. For UNDER the rod of iron rule of a righteous Messiah will the earth once more serve its purpose. Righteousness will allow this planet to easily feed the inhabitants with the goodness of nourishment. Righteousness will bring this planet to its first state of richness once more.
And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing. (Ezekiel 34:26) And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them. (Ezekiel 34:27)
And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. (Ezekiel 36:28) I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. (Ezekiel 36:29) And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen, (Ezekiel 36:30)
There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. (Ezekiel 65:20)
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD. (Ezekiel 65:25)
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. (Isaiah 11:6) And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. (Isaiah 11:7) And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. (Isaiah 11:8) They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. (Isaiah 11:9)
And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely. (Hosea 2:18)
It is God who owns this planet, it is God who controls this planet, it is God who will save this planet, but for a season, a season of one thousand years so that man will be without excuse for his sin because after the thousand years of peace, prosperity, and safety man will once again join forces led by Satan and rebel against Christ. After a thousand years of peace, prosperity and safety man will rebel against peace, prosperity and safety. ONE THOUSAND YEARS of the earth being at peace with itself. ONE THOUSAND YEARS where the beasts and creatures of the earth will be at peace with each other. The sin of Adam not only drew the curse of sin and death on ALL of mankind, but ALL the beasts and creatures were also drawn into the curse of The Law of Sin and Death. All the beasts of the earth suffer pain and death because of ADAM, because of US, because of the sin of man.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (Romans 8:18)
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Romans 8:19)
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, (Romans 8:20)
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. (Romans 8:21)
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. (Romans 8:22)
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. (Romans 8:23) The lesson for all man is that in order for man to live, SOMETHING MUST DIE. The spiritual lesson in truth is that in order for man to live forever, SOME ONE MUST DIE in man’s place.
For those of us who have felt the deep pain of losing a dearly loved pet, have you ever wondered why? Why and where did this pain of the sorrow of loss come from? Go back to the first pain of death . . . who first suffered? God suffered. It was God who shed the first blood on earth. It was God who first took the life of His creatures. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. (Genesis 3:21) Now Adam and Eve understood death, and consequently, they knew fear, for they were clothed with death. God clothed them — not with His glory as they were first clothed with, nor with any splendor that they might acquire or desire, but He clothed them with death. God clothed them with the evidence of the result of their rebellion. God removed their glory and left them naked, exposed to death. The lesson for all man is that in order for man to live, SOMETHING MUST DIE. The spiritual lesson in truth is that in order for man to live forever, SOME ONE MUST DIE in man’s place.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. (John 6:4)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: (John 11:25)
This is a hard thing to say, and it is the hardest thing to feel, but when anyone experiences the loss of a treasured and beloved pet, that is the closest that anyone will come to experience how the heart of God felt when He slew the first of His created beasts of the earth. Nothing, but nothing can be compared or felt to the heart of God when HE once offered the soul, body and blood of His beloved Son, the Lord Jesus on the cross of Calvary.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (Isaiah 53:4) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. (Isaiah 53:10) He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. (Isaiah 53:11)
No utopian environment can satisfy mankind because man carries the virus of sin, and sin he is, and sin he must. After one thousand years, ONE THOUSAND YEARS of peace, prosperity and safety man’s true sin nature bursts out into a global rebellion against God. Everything that man yearns for: long life, peace, comfort and safety is not enough for him because he is ruled by sin. Man is a slave to sin, and this special race called man MUST face his end. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. (Revelation 21:1)
