As followers of Jesus Christ, we do not fear the events in this turbulent world because we see the hand of God doing marvelous things. “Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done marvelous things!” Joel 2:21 Global warming has become so severe that the United Nations now calls it global boiling. This is a distressing situation for every nation on Earth. However, as followers of Jesus Christ, we can rejoice in knowing that God is alive and active in this world as Global warming is the Fourth Plague as mentioned in Revelation 16:8-9. The events of the Seven Seals, the Seven Trumpets, and the Seven Plagues unfold on this land called planet earth. As Christians, we should rejoice and not fear, for the Lord is performing wonders before our eyes. What a joyful day it will be when we all get to Heaven.

“Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, and the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.” Joel 2:22 Every animal on earth and every bird in the sky is part of Bible prophecy, as it says, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.” Revelation 18:2 NIV This planet will be so corrupted and spiritually polluted before Jesus Christ returns that it will be unable to sustain animal life. Animals and birds will be afflicted by a vile, unclean, foul, and abominable spirit. Joel, inspired by the Holy Spirit, tells us that a better world will come after this world falls into utter ruin. There will be a new heaven and earth when the current heaven and earth are destroyed. as described in Revelation 21 and also Revelation 22.

“Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you—The former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.” Joel 2:23 We are all the Children of Zion who inherit eternal life by reconciling with God through Jesus Christ. This planet will face terrible destruction and eventually be annihilated, but we should rejoice in the Lord our God. He will triumph over the beast, its global government, and its global culture. Whatever we lose in this world, God will compensate us abundantly when our Lord Jesus Christ comes back to grant us our inheritance of eternal life, as described in Revelation 21 and also Revelation 22.

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
