We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. (Romans 8:22)<\/p>\n
On a trip down the Colorado River, through the Grand Canyon, my guide talked quite a bit about “Mother Earth” and how “she” groans under the weight of man’s abuse of his environment.<\/p>\n
I agree with a bit of that, although I worship Father God. In the book of Romans, Paul wrote that the whole creation is groaning under the curse of sin, and he taught that there was an end-game.<\/p>\n
I thought of this when the killer tornado ripped through Joplin, Missouri, just up the road from where I live. Even one death would have been devastating, but we are hearing about many deaths. <\/p>\n
In the book of Isaiah, the Lord promises that one day, He will restore\/remake the earth, for a final time. He promises this. I believe him.<\/p>\n
The Harold Camping fiasco\u2014in many people’s minds\u2014”harmed” the teaching potential of Bible prophecy enthusiasts. I disagree.<\/p>\n
Camping was wrong on an epic scale, and many “predicted” he would be\u2014it was easy to see his downfall coming\u2014but sometimes we forget that the Bible isn’t wrong.<\/p>\n
Paul and the other apostles taught, through revelation from the Creator God, that a day was coming in which there would be no more tornadoes, and no more dead children, and no more abuse of the creation. <\/p>\n
Because predictive prophecy in the Bible authenticates Scripture, we can be confident that that day is not only coming, but that it is near.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
