Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same be saved.
The reason why we will focus on these two passages is because the collateral damage being done to the planet, in the form of weather-related events, stems primarily from spiritual causes, with calamities, and disasters in the physical world as natural byproducts in very many cases. When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden, it was appetite that they were tempted on, as the issue of food was prepared as the snare by the devil.
Eve fell for what she heard, while Adam fell for what he saw but both came under the umbrella of desire, which culminated in them eating forbidden food. Ever since that day, satan has successfully tempted both men and women on the same two issues, and, that he has had great success could be seen in the wrecks of character that have been strewn upon the sands of time.
Desires are not in and of themselves sin, but if they aren’t held in with bit and bridle, they can sink men and women boys and girls in perdition. Therefore, as time progressed, the cravings became stronger and stronger, to the point where feelings would override intelligence, and persons would be driven to extremes and insanity, solely because of the urge to satisfy a desire.
Mark 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
