'For then shall be great tribulation,
such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time,
no, nor ever shall be.
And except those days should be shortened,
there should no flesh be saved:
but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.'
(Matthew 24:21)
Hello there,
I looked up these verses, for having listened to Greta Thunberg's address to the UN Climate Conference 2019 on the news today, I feel that if these present days are not shortened, that we will all have to face extremely difficult times. With young children being encouraged to take to the streets in mass protest around the world against the perils of global warning, and such bitterness of spirit being manifested by such young people against the older generation, whom they blame for their perceived plight. Voiced and expressed so vehemently by their Representative, to whom they look up and seek to emulate. I do fear for the consequences.
We must take heed to the danger they are seeking to make known, and act accordingly, otherwise the bitterness and rage of such, could spill over into violence and lawless behaviour.
We will not be forgiven by this rising tide of young people, if we do not try by every means possible to prevent the possibility of lasting damage to the world we live it, by apathy and lack of action on our part.
'And the nations were angry,
and Thy wrath is come,
and the time of the dead,
that they should be judged,
and that Thou shouldest give reward
unto Thy servants the prophets,
and to the saints,
and them that fear Thy name, small and great;
and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.'
(Rev 11:18)
This verse came to mind too, because of it's 'reference to those which destroy the earth. These verses have no application to the present situation, or to what I have sought to discuss, having their own time for fulfilment within the purpose of God. I know. Yet they express my fears in the light of this rising tide of youthful protest and indignation.
Thank you for listening.
In Christ Jesus
Chris
