Global Warming and Bible Prophecy

(Edition 2.0 19970916-19990918)

People speak about Global Warming as though it is a long term or far off problem. Many
think it will be 100 years before the water rises 60 centimetres (2 feet). The Bible has a lot
to say about the climatic conditions in the last days. What does it say about Global
Warming? Is it all that far off and what do we have to do about it or what can we do about
it?

Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
On 18 July 1997, Dr John Heap, the Director
of the UK based Scott Polar Research Institute,
gave an interview with the Australian
Broadcasting Commission (ABC) radio news
program. He said, in speaking with the
announcer about the history of Antarctic
research after the recent ANARE Jubilee
Science Conference, that the threat of global
warming was like the Sword of Damocles
hanging over the head of everyone living
below 60 metres (200 feet) above sea level.
What did he mean by that statement? How will
the waters get that high? When will they get
that high? When will it start? These are very
important questions and nothing is being said
about it by the politicians.
The president of the Maldives said that global
warming threatens his nation. He was reported
in the following news extract from the St Paul
Pioneer Express on 25 June 1997:
In an urgent plea for help, island nations at the
Earth Summit are telling an alarming tale of the
here and now: The seas already may be
encroaching on their fragile lands. The president of
the Maldives said global warming threatens his
nation’s very existence while industrial giants
engage in “sterile debates” about cost factors.
Already low-lying atolls have been abandoned in
Micronesia. A UN report on rising temperatures
suggests sea levels may climb a disastrous 2 feet
worldwide within 100 years.
Now this does not make all that much sense,
does it? The UN report says it may rise some
60 centimetres (2 feet) in 100 years and the
islands in Micronesia are having to be
abandoned already. Dr Heap says 60 metres
(200 feet). Who is kidding who and why?
Since this paper was written in 1997, we have
had a major El Nino and a serious rise in
temperatures in the Pacific.
The rise in world sea levels is already visible.
It is visible on the coast of Australia right now.
Recently, New Zealand scientists announced
they were concerned that the Antarctic ice cap
was breaking up and drifting away in
10 hectare (25 acre) blocks.
A recent TV documentary in Australia
examined the depletion of the krill and penguin
populations in Antarctica. The krill population
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
is down 50% and the penguin population is
down 25%. Why is this?
Krill breed under the southern ice cap. They
live under and from the ice system and breed
there. Krill are small crustaceans like shrimp.
They form the basis of the food chain in the
southern oceans. They are the staple food of
the whales. The fish are dependent upon them
and the penguins are hence also at risk. If the
levels continue to decrease, we will not have to
worry about whale quotas; none will survive.
Since this time there has been an increase in
incidents of the meltdown in the Antarctic cap.
After El Nino the increase in temperatures in
the Antarctic resulted in viral infections
amongst the sea lion population. Something
like 11,000 sea lions died from viral infections
from the warming sea. What would that be?
Scientists are now saying that there are viruses
we have never encountered before, locked in
the ice sheafs that are now being released. So
we are going to encounter viruses thousands of
years old and we will not be able to deal with
them.
Interview with Jim Titus of the US
EPA
In a recent Internet interview with Jim Titus of
the US Environmental Protection Agency, I
posed some simple questions to him about the
possibility of the caps melting and the effects
of each cap on the world sea levels. The
following is a summary of the questions and
answers.
(Cox) If the Greenland cap melted:
(a) What is the projected total rise in world sea
level?
(b) What is the speed or time-frame under
present estimated conditions?
(Jim Titus) If the entire ice sheet melted, [the
seas would] probably [rise] about six metres.
This is likely to take at least one thousand
years. (The EPA report is at
http://www.gcrio.org/EPA/sealevel/text.html). The
estimates are in Chapter 7. The Greenland
section is in Chapter 4. You are looking at,
most likely, only a few centimetres in the next
century but perhaps as much as 30 cm.
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
[1,000 years ago, Danes settled Greenland
which had much less ice than at present.]
(Cox) If the Antarctic cap melted:
(a) What is the effect of the West basin on sea
levels?
(b) What is the effect of the entire cap on sea
levels?
(Jim Titus) [It would be] 6 metres for the West
and about 60 metres for the entire ice sheet.
This would take tens [of thousands of years].
(Cox) What is the combined effect on sea
levels?
(Jim Titus) Forget East Antarctica. The only
plausible scenario for a large rise is West
Antarctica combined with a large Greenland
warming causing a 4 metre rise in 200 years
and about 8 metres in 500 years. That is
unlikely but the estimates are contained in
Chapter 7 of the EPA report.
(Cox) What is the lack of reflection effect
going to do with the temperature system rather
than just the greenhouse gas effect?
(Jim Titus) This feedback is included in the
models. The main reduction in Albedo is the
retreat of sea ice, not the glacier, since much
more sunlight hits the sea ice. Note also that
melting of the Arctic cap will come sooner,
maybe a few centuries, which would cause a
radiative asymmetry between northern and
southern hemispheres.
(Cox) What is the effect of thermo-nuclear
devises being used to melt the caps? It appears
that this will make all theories irrelevant. How
many nuclear or other weapons will it take to
melt:
(a) the Greenland cap?
(b) the Antarctic cap?
(Jim Titus) We don’t know.
(Cox) What is the effect of the glaciers on the
total levels?
(Jim Titus) I have already covered this above
(see also Chapter 7 of the report).
(Cox) What is the total thermal effect on sea
levels of a 10 degree rise in world
temperatures?
Page 3
(Jim Titus) A rough rule of thumb is 30 cm per
degree after a few centuries.
(Cox) Have you any other comments that
might be useful in dealing with this matter in a
simple and responsible fashion yet showing the
very real dangers involved.
(Jim Titus) Yes. People need to start
figuring out how to plan their shoreline
management.
Otherwise we will end up armouring the
shores, especially estuaries, and having no
beaches or wetlands. This is long term land
use planning, but far cheaper than cutting
fossil fuel use. So if we are even thinking of
the latter, we should do the former too. The
sea will rise. It is too late to stop the whole
rise. Yet we develop the coasts as if this was
not an eventuality. We need to change land
ownership in some coastal areas so that the
areas will revert to nature as the sea rises.
Jim Titus has produced details in his wetland
policy paper and in his paper on how to protect
wetlands and beaches without hurting property
owners.
I then posed another serious question to him
about whether he had considered the effect that
the mass might have in a polar shift from the
effect of mass on the earth’s core.
He frankly admitted that other people have, but
his studies did not. He said that this is not as
big of an issue in the USA. He said that
“studies suggest maybe a 10% variation in the
USA.” He said existing sea level rise is already
a problem due to land subsidence, etc.
The results of these are contained in Chapter 7
of the report. Jim has written on the impacts.
Most of the papers are at
http://www.erols.com/jtitus.
The real answer to the long term planning
problem is to find out how much of the world
by countries will be flooded by rises of 30 cm
(1 foot), 50 cm (1.6 feet), 1 metre (3.3 feet), 2
metres (6.6 feet), 5-6 metres (16-19 feet), and
so on. The studies have already been done for
the USA. The details are in Jim Titus’ paper
Holding Back the Sea.
Page 4
He said that there is no excuse for not
developing these estimates for Australia and,
indeed, every country.
This was a straightforward and hopefully
helpful interview to get an idea of the problem
if the estimates are correct based on current
rates. No provision has been made for the
effects of nuclear war and/or terrorist activity
or space station laser guided or based weapons
systems. Similarly, the likelihood of the East
Antarctic melt is considered slight. This may
be an error. (Now we are finding that it is a
serious error). There is a serious military
option in this structure for short term advantage
that is not being considered and which is
examined in the paper The Last Thirty Years:
the Final Struggle (No. 219).
The total effect of the cap melt is at least a 66
metres (well over 200 feet) rise in sea levels
without superheating.
The melt of the East Antarctic cap will reduce
reflection and this has not been fully
appreciated. War has not been fed into the
statistics. Some nations are particularly more
vulnerable than others to large scale sea rise.
North-west Europe is a classic example.
More particularly there is another matter of
destabilisation of the crust and an increase in
earthquakes. The increase in earthquake
activity has been relatively significant in the
last two years. There are more earthquakes in
populated areas than previously recorded. That
is important.
Australian Research
In another interview with Bill De La Mare of
the Australian Antarctic Research Division
based in Hobart, it became clear that the
changes have been in stages. De La Mare has
done a detailed study from whale kills
extracted from the records of world whaling
over the extensive period of the records from
last century up until the 1970s. From the
records of each whale taken, Bill was able to
plot the movement of the Antarctic shelf over
that period. The whales feed on krill and are
found near the shelf. The records of their
positions in whaling provided a record of the
changes in the shelf itself over the period of the
whaling. He told in the ABC radio interview of
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
4 September 1997 that the shelf had regressed
quite significantly over the period from the
mid-1950s until the 1970s. It moved
southwards towards the pole by some 300
kilometres (186 miles) and the ice shelf lost
was about an area of approximately two-thirds
the size of Australia. This reduction stabilised
in the 1970s and he says satellite technology
has shown no significant changes since the
1970s. The major activity of the period was
above ground nuclear testing. This may be
coincidental or highly significant.
So, we see that, over the last few decades, there
has been a significant change in the Antarctic
ice which seems to have stabilised for the
period from the 1970s until the present, but
recent British reports indicate it is on the march
again. The temperature has risen 2.5 degrees
since the 1940s. In a British Antarctic Survey
(BAS) report of 27 February 1995, Dr Mike
Thomson said, after flying over the Larsen Ice
Shelf, that he had never seen anything like the
dramatic and very recent changes to the Larsen
Ice Shelf in 25 years of Antarctic field work.
The observations came hard on the heels of the
disintegration of the Wordie Ice Shelf on the
west coast of the Antarctic peninsula.
Glaciologist David Vaughan said:
There is no doubt that the climate on the Antarctic
peninsula has warmed significantly over the last
few decades. What we are seeing now are changes
only just working through to glaciers and ice
sheets. It’s an exciting time for glaciologists (BAS,
ibid.).
Since these observations were made, the
Larcen Ice Shelf was reported as being
disintegrated along with the Wordie.
This is the cause of the depletion in the krill
and the penguin populations. For the first time
in recorded history, in the summer of 1995,
James Ross Island was circumnavigable. The
ice shelf in the Prince Gustav Channel
disintegrated. A huge iceberg has been calved
from the Larsen Ice Shelf measuring 78 km x
37 km (48 miles x 23 miles). This is about the
size of Oxfordshire. The repeated calving of
the smaller bergs is under way as the New
Zealand scientists are reporting now.
The models do not take into account the
localised effect of temperature in the Antarctic
and clearly that is happening now at an
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
increasing rate. The hole in the ozone layer
may be exacerbating this event.
What also has occurred, is that they have now
discovered their models were wrong, because
they assumed an even temperature increase.
What they have found now is that the
temperature increase is much higher at the
Poles than it is at the Equator. So with a 2
degree temperature increase at the Equator, you
are looking at up to a 12 degree temperature
increase at the Poles. That has not been taken
into account either, but is now being put into
the models.
The variations in temperature in the Antarctic
appear not to be simply a localised event. In an
ABC TV news report on 12 September 1997,
we were informed that the new studies indicate
that the rising temperatures are going to be
some 4 degrees at the equator, 6 degrees at the
temperate zones and 12 degrees at the poles
within the next 50 years.
Thus, the observed changes are part of that
disproportionate fluctuation. The poles will
melt much faster and increase global warming
and ice cap melt much faster than expected.
By regressive analysis we see that the earth is
shown to be tilted on a different axis some
9,000 years ago. It is now acknowledged that
the earth’s axis rotates on a 22,000 year cycle.
The difference in tilt of the axis with the south
away from the sun saw the levels of
precipitation increase in Africa. There was thus
a higher incidence of fresh water lakes in
Africa, Australia and elsewhere. This explains
the Piri Reis map of 1513 (compiled from
ancient maps in the library at Alexandria
before it was burnt by Muslims in the seventh
century) showing rivers and lakes in Africa
where now there are only depressions and
desert (cf. Cyrus Gordon Before Columbus,
Turnstone Press Ltd, 1972, pp. 71-73).
The incidence of the warming effect on the
oceans is also contributing to the El Nino effect
of the Eastern Pacific. In an interview on
5 September 1997 with Willem Bouma of the
Australian CSIRO Division of Atmospheric
Physics, we discussed the El Nino and global
warming patterns recently and over time.
Page 5
In normal times, the currents along the Eastern
Pacific take nutrient rich upwelling in the cold
currents and enable the colder water fish to
breed.
The El Nino is a warm current that prevents the
upwelling of the cold currents and kills fish or
forces them northwards or elsewhere. The side
effects are unstable weather and droughts in the
West Pacific and also in South Africa.
Bouma said that the water in the El Nino,
which is actually a large surface area of water
in the Central and East Pacific which
traditionally warms some 2 to 3 degrees above
the norm and introduces this unstable pattern is
now 4 to 5 degrees warmer than it was. It is
now the hottest recorded in 150 years. The
experts say that it may be only because the
records do not go back further than that.
Bouma said: The last pattern in 1991-1994 was
similar to the pattern in 1911-1912. The one in
1982-1983 was severe but the current pattern is
more severe than that. The problem is that the
matter is so complex that it is difficult to
produce a comprehensive model. The El Nino
has only recently been quantified.
There has been an El Nina since then and
higher rainfalls in the West Pacific, but there
has been increasing instability in bouts in the
East Pacific and elsewhere.
Bouma said the atmospheric scientists now
know that we have higher levels of methane
and carbon dioxide than ever before. He said
there are going to be changes over the next
30 years and people talk in terms of 30 cm
(1 foot) and 1 degree but the fact is that we do
not know what the exponential effect of these
changes is going to be. Moreover, the
adaptation of societies will cause problems of
their own even if the changes are not seen as
critical in their particular area.
Bouma said that core samples taken by the
Russians in Antarctica have been dated back
some 160,000 to 200,000 years. The core age is
based on fluctuations in the winter and summer
snowfall rates. These are also accompanied by
levels of volcanic debris in the layers which
can be cross matched with ocean bed core
samples and the rough time-frames established.
Page 6
Bouma said that the ice cap has air bubbles
trapped inside. From that, the levels of carbon
dioxide and methane and other gases can be
measured. Current increases are very different
from the past. He said that there have been
rapid changes in the past, and the times when
changes are taking place produces the most
instability and variation in patterns.
He was asked if there had been catastrophic
periods in the past.
Bouma said yes. There had been two
significant catastrophic periods dated at some
10,000 years ago and another at some 150,000
years ago. These two dates have significance
for the human fossil record as we will see.
Bouma said that there had also been periods in
recent history where local changes were caused
by catastrophes which seemed quite disastrous
for those involved. He said that, for example,
there were massive floods in Holland in 1513.
The St Elizabeth flood saw changes in the
Rhine delta which caused large populated land
areas of Holland go under water permanently.
Whilst these were local, they were catastrophic.
He said that St Vincent’s Gulf in South
Australia was also sinking at present and any
increase in water levels would exacerbate the
problems faced there.
Bouma also pointed out that Sweden and
Norway are still rising from the last ice age and
that Papua New Guinea has risen several
hundred metres over a relatively short period of
time.
His greatest concern was that we do not know
how the climate will react in the long term as
our models are too inaccurate to predict the
consequence and we should be very concerned
about contributing to any destabilising changes.
One of the problems was that people could face
“Acts of God” stoically but were concerned
about things they themselves induced. Thus,
the instability introduced by induced global
warming was making people in low-lying areas
more concerned.
His information was most helpful and we are
thus in a position to put together a number of
factors before we look at the prophetic picture.
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
We might deduce from all this information that
the oceans are warming faster than expected.
This may be helped by movements of the
currents out of the normal patterns. This is
responsible for the destabilised patterns in
Asia, Australasia and the Americas.
The loss of the ice sheets in recent decades
could be due to the increases in carbon dioxide
and methane but it also may have been helped
by simple atmospheric problems such as above
ground nuclear testing in the 1950s-1970s and
volcanic activity.
We have no real knowledge of the long term
effects of any significant atmospheric
disturbance by volcanic eruption.
Land use
There is also an obvious and urgent
requirement for the structuring of society based
on sound long-term planning, and relocation of
the major industrial and population resources
away from the sea coast. This involves
restructuring and an opportunity, this time, to
do it right and in accordance with God’s laws
as laid down in the Bible. Building nuclear
power stations under 100 metres (328 feet)
above current sea level, if at all, is simply
madness.
The wars of the end are going to give us a
clean slate and a new start, whether we like it
or not. This is against the current trend to
centralisation in city-states under the New
World Order.
Normal fluctuations
The next question we must examine is:
Is it normal for fluctuations in the sea levels to
occur? The answer is: Yes, it is normal. From
the records on the south coast of New South
Wales from last century, and from their
maritime berthing systems, we can observe that
the sea level was higher last century than it is
now. Perhaps it was affected by unknowns
such as current changes and tidal movements.
This might be affected also by land rise or fall.
It might have been as much as 1 metre (3 feet).
Ships used to come in where they cannot now
enter. There is also evidence of a number of
tidal marks and evidence on the coast of
Australia that shows we have had higher and
lower sea levels over the past ages. Some few
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
thousand years ago, the coastline was much
further out than it now is. A long time ago, it
was much higher than it now is. Central
Australia was once under water as the fossil
evidence discloses. There are sandstone shelves
all along the east coast.
How do these fluctuations occur? It appears
that there have been warmer and colder periods
in the earth’s history. Last century may have
been a little warmer. Perhaps, we see the
evidence in our coastal history in Australia. It
is worthwhile noting that big changes occur
through the earth’s crust. The last earthquake
in Turkey, moved that country towards Greece
by a significant figure. We now see the Pacific
Rim having earthquakes in popular centres.
That also adds to the rise and the fall of land
masses.
Movement of the ice caps
Another explanation is in the movement of the
caps themselves. If the core of the earth
changes then we can have three things happen.
At present the North Pole is totally in water
and the South Pole is totally on land. As sea ice
has some 10% of its volume out of the water
and, on melting, loses that volume and returns
to the same sea level, we see no appreciable
difference in the water level. However, there
are two caps, one on Greenland and the other
on Antarctica, which are on land. If they both
melted, or even partially melted, the story
would be vastly different. This melted ice
would add to the world’s sea volume and the
levels would rise. Thus, there are a number of
alternatives for the world’s coastal systems.
If the ice caps are all on or over land systems,
then the coastline of the other land masses is
reduced by the volume of water in the ice caps
over those land systems. The end result is the
reduction in the water volume and a drop in
mean sea levels to what they are known to have
been some thousands of years ago. This is
accepted as fact by Australian scientists (see
Lampert The Great Kartan Mystery, ANU,
1981, esp. pp. 166 ff.; cf. the paper The
Resurrection of the Dead (No. 143), pp. 4-5).
Heiner Josenhans of the Geologic Survey of
Canada holds that there was a migration
corridor from Asia to the Americas through the
area near Queen Charlotte Island. Josenhans
Page 7
holds that America, some 10,000 years ago (by
his dating), was a land of ice mountains 2,437
metres (8,000 feet) high and of both land and
sea that rose and fell rapidly. We might note
that this equates with the period of catastrophic
change noted by Willem Bouma above.
Heiner Josenhans says about 14,600 years ago
the sea dropped to open a narrow seaside
corridor partly aided by the weight of the ice
on the land. Scientists have found a human
skull on Prince of Wales Island which they date
at 9,800 years old. The dating of these systems
are subject to debate as to accuracy. The
variations in early dates are best illustrated in
the tests done by Svante Paabo and Matthias
Krings and colleagues of the Zoological
Institute at Munich where the original
Neanderthal man (found at Neander Valley
near Dusseldorf in 1856) was tested for DNA.
They were able to extract the DNA. The DNA
was compared with that of humans and
chimpanzees. The DNA strings of the
Neanderthal had variations in 27 positions, as
opposed to eight with humans. They were able
to demonstrate that the Neanderthals were not
of the same family as with humans. The
comments were made that the Neanderthal
probably died 30,000 years ago but it is
possible that the bones could be 100,000 years
old (article New DNA testing puts Neanderthal
man out of human’s family tree by Chris
Mihill, The Canberra Sunday Times, 13 July
1997, p. 7). These people now hold that man
came from a common ancestor out of Africa
some 200,000 years ago. This dating is as
subjective as we see in the dating applied to the
Neanderthals.
Note also that the humanoids are varied and
interspersed by the catastrophic periods
identified from conventional scientific dating.
We are agreed on the common ancestor
element. Professor Stringer holds that about
40,000 years ago it was likely that
Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens over-lapped
(Mihill, ibid., cf. Cell 1997). However, we are
speaking of Cro-magnons and not of the
current humans, Homo Sapiens Sapiens, and it
is wrong to suggest they are the same species.
However, the dating and conditions appear to
preclude any short history along 6,000 year
lines for the earth systems and the Cro-
Page 8
magnons or Neanderthals. What we do see is
that there have been rapid shifts in poles and
water levels. Land masses have risen and fallen
from ice weight and shifts. That makes the
planet a lot more unstable than we would like
to imagine. The one true God made the earth
and He will bring about its end for His
purpose.
22
Proverbs 8:22-26 The LORD possessed me in the
23
beginning of his way, before his works of old. I
was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or
24
ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I
was brought forth; when there were no fountains
abounding with water.
25
Before the mountains
were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the
fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
(KJV)
God alone, who dwells between the cherubim,
created the earth. He brings forth the
mountains and the seas. He alone established
them and directs their functions. He alone is
the one true God.
16
Isaiah 37:16 O LORD of hosts, God of Israel,
that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the
God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the
earth: thou hast made heaven and earth. (KJV)
18
Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that
created the heavens; God himself that formed the
earth and made it; he hath established it, he created
it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the
LORD; and there is none else. (KJV)
25
Psalm 102:25-27 Of old hast thou laid the
foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the
26
work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou
shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a
garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and
27
they shall be changed: But thou art the same, and
thy years shall have no end. (KJV)
God changes the earth like a garment.
Shifts of the earth’s core
At some stage in the recent past, we have had a
shift in the core of the earth and a tilt in the
earth’s axis system. The finds in Siberia of the
snap-frozen mammoths with sub-tropical
grasses still in their mouths indicate this was
fairly recent. If by some other chance the tilt
placed both poles in the water then, and only
one ice cap on land, e.g. Greenland, or Europe,
or North America (as seems to be the case from
Josenhans, AAP, St Paul Pioneer Express, 4
July 1997, p. 7A), then there would be a rise in
the water. This rise would be according to the
volume of water in ice on the Antarctic cap.
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
The other case is for it to be the Greenland cap.
It may not be a coincidence at all that the level
of shift involved in the Josenhans model is also
60 metres (200 feet) (ibid.). He blames it on
the ice weight on the coastal range of North
America. It may simply be the effects of the
North Pole and the northern ice system on
North America prior to its last change. These
ice ages were not gradual involving aeons, they
may have happened over night as in Siberia at
the last pole shift.
Modern science resists such explanations and
turn on their kind who suggest these
alternatives. The scholastic persecution of
I Velikovsky for his Worlds In Collision and
Ages in Chaos is a classic example. The real
problem here is that it destroys the notion of
steady-state evolutionary theory and introduces
the possibility of an interventionist model.
Moreover, the scientific or scholastic
reputations of the university elite are often
model dependent. For example, Egyptologists
are more or less dependent upon the time
dating of the ancient scribe Manetho for the
chronology of the early dynasties. Often their
degrees are dependent upon conformity with
accepted models.
A recent attack was made on the scientist Louis
Frank over his Cosmic Snowball theory
because it involves shifts in paradigms. It is,
however, now admitted that Frank seems right
and the earth is continually bombarded by
cosmic snowballs of ice that melt and add
water to the earth’s atmosphere. It is estimated
that there is enough water to fill the oceans
again, out in the solar system between us and
Jupiter (see article Robert S Boyd Cosmic
Snowballs, St Paul Pioneer Express, 29 May
1997).
There is, however, evidence that the caps were
not always where they are now and that view
seems to come from unexpected sources and
not just earth scientists. We know that there
was heavy trans-Atlantic commerce millennia
ago and that it went on as late as the dispersal
of the Jews after the Bar Kochba revolt as we
see from Professor Cyrus Gordon’s work
Before Columbus, Turnstone Press Ltd, 1972.
In that work, Gordon has published the ancient
Piri Reis map produced in 1513 from much
more ancient maps taken from the library at
Alexandria, before the Muslims burnt the
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
library in the seventh century (see pp. 71-73).
The coastline of Antarctica is also included and
we have not been able to do this until this
century because of the ice cap. Thus, it was
either warmer then or the cap was centred
elsewhere. Moreover, they had the capacity
then to measure longitude and the coasts of
America and Africa are shown in their correct
longitudinal relationship (ibid.). We could not
do this until the seventeenth century.
I discussed with other scholars about the
ogham scripts, which were the writing systems
of the Celts, their incidence and implications
for the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic people. Some
of the information that became available was
that through these trans-Atlantic movements,
which have continued on uninterrupted, one of
the American Indian tribes is actually
descended from the Welch. They laid out their
villages in a similar manner. They had sailed
up the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, landed
and established a colony in America. We know
of their movements from contemporaneous
records in Wales. Nothing is said of them
because it does not suit the purposes of the
European church. They have suppressed the
truth for 1,600 years. We were entered into a
dark-age through religious ambition.
In the same way these ogham scripts are found
right through the area of the Indian tribes on
the east coast through West Virginia. Some of
them are now under water, but they are all
there. The Indians are curiously writing in
Celtic script, which is perhaps more ancient,
because it does not possess a couple of aspects
of the later Celtic script. It shows you that there
was massive movement by the Celts and the
Jews and other people, into the Americas, over
the periods of climatic change. It is not a
steady
state isolated system, as these so-called
authorities would have us believe. There is an
inability to analyse world history correctly or
cohesively.
What is the effect of the loss of the
Antarctic cap?
On modern estimates, there is enough ice in the
West Antarctic basin alone to raise the sea
level 5 to 6 metres (16 to 19 feet). This basin is
ice on land and some is below sea level but that
makes an overall net rise of 5 metres (16 feet).
Page 9
The remainder of the ice will rise a further 60
metres (200 feet) and the effect of both caps is
over 66 metres (216 feet) (as per John Heap
and Jim Titus above). What the factor of net
heat gain will be can only be estimated. This
could raise the sea level by a further 30 metres
(100 feet) or so. Thus, we are looking at
anything up to perhaps 100 metres (328 feet)
rise in mean sea level.
The caps reflect a large amount of the sun’s
heat. With the caps gone, the land will not
reflect the same amount of heat and it will be
retained in the earth’s atmosphere. Thus, it will
get very hot.
The rise in mean temperature will see the
weather patterns become more and more
unstable.
Effect of the rising sea levels on the
world’s land mass and eco-system
With the partial loss of the Antarctic cap, we
will see a 5 metre (16 feet) rise. This will make
the low-lying islands disappear, and some
regions, such as Holland and the delta areas,
will become virtually uninhabitable. They will
have to relocate. All low-lying world land areas
will inundate. The river systems will back up
and they will be tidal far inland. The water
collection capacity will be seriously
diminished. Drinking water will become
restricted. The increase in the heat will make
the contaminated areas turn red with algae. The
altered algal systems will kill the fish breeding
areas and the fish stocks will start to die.
This effect will be gradual at first and then
accelerate exponentially as the caps melt. This
will destabilise the weight of the land systems
and increase the stress on the plate systems
governing the land masses. Antarctica has
already commenced to rise as the weight
reduces. The result will be more earthquake
activity.
Over the last two years, since this paper was
written, we have seen increased earthquake
activity in the populated areas. This inundation
of the low lying countries will then help fulfil
another biblical prophesy, which we have
covered in the paper Calling the Peoples to
Jerusalem (No. 238). Then the tribe of Zebulun
will be able to take up its inheritance and
Page 10
commence the calling of the peoples to
Jerusalem. That will be the start of the move
back of the tribes.
Effects of increased earthquake
activity
In the paper The Food Laws (No. 15) we saw
how the heavy metal concentrations were in
specific areas around the world. Those areas
coincide with the fault systems in which
earthquake activity occurs. When the
earthquake activity commences, the release of
heavy metals will increase algal bloom and the
seas will become red with the red tide effect.
The effect of the heavy metal concentrations in
the algae is to increase the levels of toxicity in
fish. In the partially developed biblical
catastrophe described in the seven trumpets of
Revelation, we see that a third of the fish in the
seas die. This follows the increased earthquake
activity following on from the final persecution
of the last days under the fifth seal (see the
papers The Seven Seals (No. 140) and The
Seven Trumpets (No. 141)).
9
Revelation 6:9-17 And when he had opened the
fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them
that were slain for the word of God, and for the
10
testimony which they held: And they cried with a
loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and
true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on
11
them that dwell on the earth? And white robes
were given unto every one of them; and it was said
unto them, that they should rest yet for a little
season, until their fellowservants also and their
brethren, that should be killed as they were, should
12
be fulfilled. And I beheld when he had opened
the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and
13
the moon became as blood; And the stars of
heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth
her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty
14
wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when
it is rolled together; and every mountain and island
15
were moved out of their places. And the kings of
the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and
the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every
bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in
16
the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And
said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and
hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the
17
throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the
great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be
able to stand? (KJV)
The hurting of the earth takes place after the
persecution of the fifth seal – thus, the earth is
not hurt until the activities of Revelation 7 take
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
place; namely the sealing of the 144,000 and
the selection of the great multitude. Until that
time, the earth is not to be hurt.
13
Revelation 7:13-17 And one of the elders
answered, saying unto me, What are these which
are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he
said to me, These are they which came out of great
tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made
15
them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore
are they before the throne of God, and serve him
day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on
the throne shall dwell among them.
16
They shall
hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither
17
shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the
Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed
them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of
waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes. (KJV)
Thus, we see that the tribulation of the fifth
seal is followed by this turbulent activity. The
coming of the Messiah is understood as
inevitable at this time. Thus, the increased
earthquake activity and the heavenly signs not
only herald the arrival of Messiah and the
redemption of the elect, but they set off the
chain reaction that is about to occur in the
activity regarding the world’s nations and
particularly the coast-lands. This activity is
described in Revelation 8 ff.
Thus, the earthquakes themselves, in addition
to the pollution, release heavy metals into the
world’s oceans and increase the activities
which result in the death of a third of the fish
stocks mentioned in Revelation 8:1-5.
1
Revelation 8:1-5 And when he had opened the
seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the
2
space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels
which stood before God; and to them were given
3
seven trumpets. And another angel came and
stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there
was given unto him much incense, that he should
offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the
4
golden altar which was before the throne. And the
smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers
of the saints, ascended up before God out of the
5
angel's hand. And the angel took the censer, and
filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the
earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and
lightnings, and an earthquake. (KJV)
We see from this text that the persecution of
the saints and their prayers bring the
intervention of God. He sends Messiah at the
advent. The fire of the altar is cast upon the
earth and this activity causes the thunders and
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
lightning and an earthquake. This is the active
phase of what we might call the global
warming activities and the wrath of God.
The first series of trumpets are sounded and
fire and hail is brought down on the earth and
then the third part of the earth is burnt up,
including the trees and all green grass. In other
words, it becomes arid and the heat dries the
grasslands and they are burnt.
6
Revelation 8:6-7 And the seven angels which had
the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail
and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast
upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt
up, and all green grass was burnt up. (KJV)
The earthquake activity causes explosions and
a major landslip of catastrophic proportions.
8
Revelation 8:8-9 And the second angel sounded,
and as it were a great mountain burning with fire
was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea
9
became blood; And the third part of the creatures
which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the
third part of the ships were destroyed. (KJV)
This activity sees a third of the ships destroyed
also and so we are looking at not just heavy
metals and algal blooms – we are looking also
at attendant tsunamis.
Tsunamis
Scientists have long known that a massive
tsunami struck the east coast of Australia some
100,000 years ago in geological terms
according to today’s models. They did not
know what caused it. A few years ago they
determined that it was actually caused by a
land slip in Hawaii 105,000 years ago. There
will be other more massive slips than this in the
period of the second trumpet. Scientists
estimate that the San Andreas fault has to go
within the next ten years. This does not take
into account the increasing effects, described
above, on fault movement. The San Andreas
fault system has the capacity to create a
tsunami that may devastate the east coast of
Australia.
Tsunamis travel at just below the speed of
sound and may be a wall of water some
hundreds of feet high. The wave referred to
above was between 90 metres (300 feet) and
300 metres (1,000 feet) high travelling just
under some 1,126 kilometres per hour (700
miles per hour). The destructive capacity of
Page 11
such a wave is enormous. Each land slip and
earthquake will set off its own tsunami activity.
Thus, one-third of the world’s shipping will be
destroyed.
This heating up and increased volcanic activity
of the earth will then cause the destruction of
the earth’s water systems and the back up and
pollution of its fish breeding grounds.
This shortage will be increased by the
incidence of a comet sent by God to deal with
the earth’s wilful disregard for His laws.
10
Revelation 8:10-11 And the third angel sounded,
and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it
were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the
11
rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the
name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third
part of the waters became wormwood; and many
men died of the waters, because they were made
bitter. (KJV)
This increased activity affects the atmosphere.
A greenhouse effect is seen so great that the
sun is darkened at dawn and dusk so that the
days are shortened.
Revelation 8:12-13
12
And the fourth angel
sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten,
and the third part of the moon, and the third part of
the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened,
and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the
13
night likewise. And I beheld, and heard an angel
flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a
loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the
earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet
of the three angels, which are yet to sound! (KJV)
Krakatoa erupted last century with the force of
many nuclear weapons, and the sky was
discoloured around the world for many months.
This activity plunges the earth into such chaos,
that what is termed a window of opportunity
emerges for the nations poised to destroy our
people. These nations are termed Gog and
Magog. Who they are will be identified later.
These nations participate in what becomes
World War III because of the chaos in which
the world finds itself. This chaos and warfare
open up the opportunity for a number of
nations to attack the current European power
block. These wars are the wars of the fifth and
sixth trumpets of Revelation 9:1-21.
1
Revelation 9:1-21 And the fifth angel sounded,
and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth:
and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose
a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great
Page 12
furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by
3
reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came
out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto
them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth
4
have power. And it was commanded them that
they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither
any green thing, neither any tree; but only those
men which have not the seal of God in their
5 19
foreheads. And to them it was given that they
should not kill them, but that they should be
tormented five months: and their torment was as
6
the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall
not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall
7
flee from them. And the shapes of the locusts
were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on
their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and
8
their faces were as the faces of men. And they had
hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as
9
the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it
were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their
wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses
10
running to battle. And they had tails like unto
scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and
their power was to hurt men five months.
11
And
they had a king over them, which is the angel of the
bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue
is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name
12
Apollyon. One woe is past; and, behold, there
13
come two woes more hereafter. And the sixth
angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four
14
horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet,
Loose the four angels which are bound in the great
15
river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed,
which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a
month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16
And the number of the army of the horsemen
were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard
17
the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in
the vision, and them that sat on them, having
breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone:
and the heads of the horses were as the heads of
lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke
18
and brimstone. By these three was the third part
of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by
19
the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails:
for their tails were like unto serpents, and had
20
heads, and with them they do hurt. And the rest
of the men which were not killed by these plagues
yet repented not of the works of their hands, that
they should not worship devils, and idols of gold,
and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood:
21
which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their
sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their
thefts. (KJV)
This text shows that a war is involved and that
the key to all of this activity and the cessation
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
of this activity is repentance before God.
Repentance involves doing God’s will and
obeying His laws.
This is also contained in the message of Christ
in the Olivet Prophecy. The Olivet Prophecy
itself builds on Isaiah and the other prophets.
Isaiah 24:19-20 The earth is utterly broken down,
the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved
20
exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a
drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and
the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it;
and it shall fall, and not rise again. (KJV)
6
Isaiah 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and
look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall
vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax
old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall
die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for
ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
(KJV)
The existing heavens will pass away eventually
but, while they remain, the law remains with
them. That is the key to understanding what
God requires of human behaviour.
18
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till
heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in
no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
(KJV)
Thus Messiah is speaking of the end, as it was
to be explained further in Revelation.
3
Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of
Olives, the disciples came unto him privately,
saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and
what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the
end of the world? (KJV)
14
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto
all nations; and then shall the end come. (KJV)
The final preaching of the gospel occurs first. It
is followed by the tribulation which is the
beginning of the end, and then the end comes.
These are the fifth and sixth seals we have seen
above. Following the heavenly signs, the earth
is struck.
29
Matthew 24:29-39 Immediately after the
tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars
shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the
30
heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear
the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then
shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they
shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of
31
heaven with power and great glory. And he shall
send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and
they shall gather together his elect from the four
32
winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Now
learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that
33
summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall
see all these things, know that it is near, even at the
34
doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation
35
shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words
shall not pass away.
36
But of that day and hour
knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but
37
my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so
38
shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For
as in the days that were before the flood they were
eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the
39
ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took
them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son
of man be. (KJV)
Compare these verses also with Mark 13:24-37
and Luke 21:26-36.
The tribulation of the elect happens before the
coming of the Messiah and then the heavenly
signs proclaim his coming. The first
resurrection then occurs. There is no rapture.
There is no easy way out. There is no avoiding
the law. Christ will come as conquering king to
establish his Father’s law on this planet. The
most amazed and confused people will be those
who claim to be his disciples yet do not keep
the commandments of God and the testimony
of Messiah. They will do it the hard way
because they did not follow his teachings. That
is why God is going to deal with the planet and
do it thoroughly. Unless Messiah comes back,
there will be no flesh left alive. All of this
destruction will be our own doing.
19
Matthew 24:19-28 And woe unto them that are
with child, and to them that give suck in those
20
days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the
21
winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall
be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever
22
shall be. And except those days should be
shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for
23
the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is
24
Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall
arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall
shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it
were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25
26
Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they
shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go
not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers;
27
believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of
the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall
28
also the coming of the Son of man be. For
wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be
gathered together. (KJV)
Page 13
Let us go back and examine this phase of the
trumpets and determine how fast it is likely to
be.
Since this paper was given in 1997 there has
been a significant movement in Protestant
Christianity allied with Catholic prophecy.
Trinitatians as a whole are now producing
prophecy, or interpretation of prophecy, which
holds that the anti-Christ will establish the law
of God on this planet (the law of Moses) and
that Judah will be aligned and allied with that
Messiah and that they will build a temple at
Jerusalem. That is really the anti-Christ and the
real Christ will return after that happens. So
you get all the biblical prophecies of the
conversion of Judah, the establishment of the
Messiah at Jerusalem, the restoration of the law
and the reconstruction of the Temple. All of
that is occurring, but the Trinitarians are now
saying that is to be the anti-Christ and the false
system and after that the true Christ will come.
In that they set up the conditions of these last
days to march against Jesus Christ at
Jerusalem. The nations that have now set up
this conditional prophecy are actually the so-
called Trinitarian Christian nations themselves.
They will be involved in the march against
Jesus Christ.
The speed of the global warming
phase
After the final preaching of the gospel, the
tribulation or persecution will take place. This
is in fact over a protracted period involving
two persecutions. One period is 1,260 years;
the other is a short period at the end. The 1,260
year period began in 590 CE and ended in 1850
with the end of the Holy Roman Empire. The
last Inquisition was from 1823-1846 (see the
ex-Jesuit historian Malachi Martin The Decline
and Fall of the Roman Church, Secker and
Warburg, London, pp. 254 ff). The final
persecution has already begun.
The last persecution is shorter but more
intense. The destruction of sound doctrine will
be almost complete. However, when Messiah
comes there will be no doubt and he will be
visible to all. Messiah will then deal with the
earth’s religions and the lawlessness that passes
for Christianity. Messiah said that this
generation will not pass away before all things
are accomplished. A generation is 40 years.
Thus, the period involved is less than 40 years.
Page 14
The warming phase has already begun. The
earth cannot be hurt until the last few of the
144,000 are sealed. This process was ongoing
over 2,000 years. The time-frame of the
Messianic age is from the birth of Messiah in
5 BCE for forty Jubilees to the end of the times
of the Gentiles. This period ended in the sacred
year 1996/97. That was the 2,000th anniversary
of the birth of Messiah and the 3,000th
anniversary of David’s entry into Jerusalem. It
was also seven times or 2,520 years from the
invasion of Egypt by Cambyses. This was tied
to the earlier period of the establishment of the
Babylonian model we saw from the Battle of
Carchemish in 605 BCE. The wars of the end
began in 1914 with the 2,520 years or seven
times from 605 BCE. This system of empires
(Dan. 2) was to last seven times and that is
2,520 years (7 x 360 -- 360 is a prophetic time
of 12 x 30 prophetic days or years). At the end
time there was to be another period of thirty
years from this end of the times of the Gentiles
to the restoration under Messiah. This entire
process is mirrored in the times of Moses and
the wars for the occupation of Israel (see the
paper The Fall of Jericho (No. 142)).
All of these problems will be experienced
between 1997 and 2027. A possible time-frame
for the wars of the end and the progressive
phases are examined in the papers The Last
Thirty Years: the Final Struggle (No. 219) and
Outline Timetable of the Age (No. 272).
As the warming period commences, we will
see pressure on the coastal systems. The Bible
shows that this problem is not gradual.
Yahovah is sent by Yahovah of Hosts, his God,
to protect Jerusalem in the end time period.
1
Zechariah 2:1-9 I lifted up mine eyes again, and
looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in
2
his hand. Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he
said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is
the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3
And, behold, the angel that talked with me went
4 used to increase the activities of the planet that
forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man,
saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns
without walls for the multitude of men and cattle
5
therein: For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a
wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in
6 1
the midst of her. Ho, ho, come forth, and flee
from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I
have spread you abroad as the four winds of the
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
7
heaven, saith the LORD. Deliver thyself, O Zion,
8
that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. For
thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath
he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for
he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
9
For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them,
and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye
shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.
(KJV)
The direction of the trouble is from the land of
the north involving the daughter of Babylon.
Thus, we are seeing the trouble emanate from a
religious system and a political system
combined. This is not Iraq.
We know in this sequence that the islands are
moved by quake activity and by rising water.
14
Revelation 6:14 And the heaven departed as a
scroll when it is rolled together; and every
mountain and island were moved out of their
places. (KJV)
This is violent and sudden activity.
17
Revelation 16:17-21 And the seventh angel
poured out his vial into the air; and there came a
great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the
18
throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices,
and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great
earthquake, such as was not since men were upon
19
the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
And the great city was divided into three parts, and
the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon
came in remembrance before God, to give unto her
the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20
And every island fled away, and the mountains

were not found. And there fell upon men a great
hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of
a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the
plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was
exceeding great. (KJV)
This activity is, as we see from this text, at the
end of the vials of the wrath of God. The
islands flee away and the mountains are
moved. There is a great earthquake such as has
not been seen in the history of the world. Thus,
the two great quakes are at the early and later
parts of the process. The text in Revelation
16:1-16 shows that the period of the vials is
involve the waters turning to blood.
The fourth vial is one of great heat. The
warming thus increases at an exponential rate.
The process is described in Revelation 16:1-9.
Revelation 16:1-9 And I heard a great voice out of
the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your
ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
2
upon the earth. And the first went, and poured out
his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome
and grievous sore upon the men which had the
mark of the beast, and upon them which
3
worshipped his image. And the second angel
poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as
the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died
4
in the sea. And the third angel poured out his vial
upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they
5
became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters
say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and
6
wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
For they have shed the blood of saints and
prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink;
7
for they are worthy. And I heard another out of
the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true
8
and righteous are thy judgments. And the fourth
angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power
9
was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And
men were scorched with great heat, and
blasphemed the name of God, which hath power
over these plagues: and they repented not to give
him glory. (KJV)
The earth is punished because it does not keep
the laws of God. God directs Messiah to come
and deal with the planet. He specifically tasks
these seven angels with bowls of His wrath,
which is to be poured out on the earth. Modern
science will explain this process away in
scientific terms and the world will not repent.
The texts, here, show that repentance is what is
required of the people and they will not obey.
Even when the planet is being destroyed before
their very eyes, because of their own
disobedience, they will not repent and turn to
God.
They blaspheme God instead of repenting. This
system set up on this planet is part of demonic
rebellion against the Most High God Eloah,
who is Yahovah of Hosts. They will not change
their ways. Most of the people on the planet are
led astray by these people and the demons.
See also the paper The Messages of Revelation
14 (No. 270) which is also an explanation of
the end period.
10
Revelation 16:10-16 And the fifth angel poured
out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his
kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed
11
their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God
of heaven because of their pains and their sores,
12
and repented not of their deeds. And the sixth
angel poured out his vial upon the great river
Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that
the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come
Page 15
out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the
mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the
14
false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils,
working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of
the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to
15
the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that
watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk
16
naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered
them together into a place called in the Hebrew
tongue Armageddon. (KJV)
Thus, the world is deceived into marching
against Messiah at Jerusalem when he comes.
These beings blaspheme God and His Messiah
and they are brought down to Armageddon
through their own evil. This process is
obviously very short. It is not millennia or even
centuries. It is a matter of years. How many
years can be reconstructed from a model of the
prophecies of the last days and a knowledge of
the plan of God as revealed in His word. The
long term plan is concerned with the sequence
set up in the Sign of Jonah.
Christ said that there is no sign given his
ministry but the Sign of Jonah.
Matthew 12:38-42
38
Then certain of the scribes
and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we
39
would see a sign from thee. But he answered and
said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation
seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be
40
given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For
as Jonas was three days and three nights in the
whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days
and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41
The
men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it: because they
repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a
42
greater than Jonas is here. The queen of the south
shall rise up in the judgment with this generation,
and shall condemn it: for she came from the
uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of
Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is
here. (KJV)
The Sign of Jonah is not simply three days and
three nights in the belly of the whale or the
tomb. The symbolism involved the resurrection
and all that event symbolised. It also involved
the ministry of John the Baptist and Messiah as
two witnesses against Judah. They preached for
slightly less than three years and then Judah
was given forty years to repent and did not
repent. This was on a year for a day basis
compared with Nineveh. Forty years to the
month from the death of Messiah, Jerusalem
was surrounded by armies. That was on
Page 16
1 Nisan at the beginning of the sacred year
70 CE. By 1 Nisan the following year 71 CE,
Judah was destroyed, Jerusalem was sacked
and the Temple was razed so that not one stone
stood upon another.
The next phase of the Sign of Jonah was
extended to the Gentiles. The gospel of the
Kingdom of God was preached to the whole
world on a Jubilee for a year basis. Thus, the
world was given forty Jubilees or 2,000 years
to repent and it will not repent (see the paper
The Sign of Jonah and the History of the
Reconstruction of the Temple (No. 13)). This
forty Jubilees was also symbolised by the forty
years in the wilderness of the Exodus under
Moses. The events in the last days are similar
to the events at the end of the Exodus.
In a little while, the plagues of the wrath of
God will be commenced through His servants
the prophets and the world will hate these men
and kill them. They will warn the world of the
penalty of their evil ways. The world will be
given the opportunity to repent and to keep
God’s laws but they will not repent.
As Moses dealt with Egypt through its gods, so
will they deal with the gods of this world with
plagues and no rain and famine and fire and
thirst. However, man will not repent. The
timing of this sequence is examined in the
paper The Last Thirty Years: the Final Struggle
(No. 219). There is no secret that God does not
reveal through His servants beforehand. The
elect are the stewards of the mysteries of God.
God does not work without revealing His will
and His plan through His servants.
16
Romans 1:16-20 For I am not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto
salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew
17
first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the
righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith:
18
as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For
the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against
all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who
hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19
Because that
which may be known of God is manifest in them;
20
for God hath shewed it unto them. For the
invisible things of him from the creation of the
world are clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even his eternal power and
Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (KJV)
In the days of the seventh trumpet, the mystery
of God will be completed as He revealed it
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
through His servants the prophets. Thus God
will reveal the mystery before the events of the
seven vials of the wrath of God. All men will
know and be without excuse.
7
Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the
seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the
mystery of God should be finished, as he hath
declared to his servants the prophets. (KJV)
7
Amos 3:7-8 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing,
but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the
8
prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear?
the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
(KJV)
God wants us all to survive. There is no reason
why any of this process need happen. It will
happen only through the intransigence of the
world. God is slow to destroy the sinful and is
long-suffering towards us.
9
2Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his
promise, as some men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any
should perish, but that all should come to
repentance. (KJV)
The end of this process will see a world
subjugated by force if not by consent. The
planet will be nearly destroyed.
Moses and Aaron were sent to Egypt. Messiah
and John the Baptist were sent to Judah. The
apostles were sent to the world two by two, and
the two witnesses will be sent to the world to
condemn it in the last days.
1
Revelation 11:1-3 And there was given me a reed
like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise,
and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and
2
them that worship therein. But the court which is
without the temple leave out, and measure it not;
for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city
shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3
And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and
they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and
threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. (KJV)
The final phase will see an exponential
progression of the destruction of the planet and
the obstinate refusal to obey the laws of God.
The actions of God through Moses and Aaron
are similar to the action in the last days.
26
Psalm 105:26-37 He sent Moses his servant; and
27
Aaron whom he had chosen. They shewed his
signs among them, and wonders in the land of
28
Ham. He sent darkness, and made it dark; and
29
they rebelled not against his word. He turned
30
their waters into blood, and slew their fish. Their
land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the
31
chambers of their kings. He spake, and there
Global Warming and Bible Prophecy
came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their
32
coasts. He gave them hail for rain, and flaming
33
fire in their land. He smote their vines also and
34
their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers,
35
and that without number, And did eat up all the
herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their
36
ground. He smote also all the firstborn in their
37
land, the chief of all their strength. He brought
them forth also with silver and gold: and there was
not one feeble person among their tribes. (KJV)
Not so long ago there was a hailstorm in
Sydney where the size of the stones was such
as never had been seen before in our lifetime.
Billions and billions of dollars of damage was
caused. There was massive destruction to
houses through hailstones bigger than anything
ever seen before in the city of Sydney. One
cannot help but speculate that this is the start of
a long process against the inequity that we are
seeing in our people.
God has already declared what He will bring
about. He has also declared what is necessary
for Messiah and the Host to do to restore the
planet. In the early stages, we will lose the
coast lands in inundation and destruction from
tsunamis. As it accelerates, we will lose vast
areas of the deltas and Egypt. Since this paper
was first written there were massive tsunamis
which killed many thousands of people in New
Guinea. It struck them in the night. We will
lose the low-lying food basins such as the
coastal plains in Australia. In North America,
the Mississippi basin and Florida will be lost
and much of the Canadian north and its water
with it. The earth will lose the low Chinese
plain and the Thai plain. North-west Europe
and the UK will be inundated. We will lose
Holland, Denmark, Belgium and north-west
France. The Amazon basin, Bangladesh and
large areas of Siberia will be lost. Wars will be
fought for land and food production capacity
and, most importantly, water. The loss of land
is limited only by the upper extent of the water
levels. 60 metres (200 feet) is the potential
without superheating. It may be higher. The
relocation of people on a vast scale is an
imminent probability and must be planned for
Page 17
now. We must plan and then decentralise and
relocate to higher ground. We must build dams
in place to ensure safe drinking water and
cover them. But most important of all is the
fact that we as a people must repent
immediately.
Our scientists are telling us it is happening and
anyone with eyes and a brain can see it is
happening. Europe is at last aware of having
caused much of the problem themselves.
Remember the instruction is to destroy those
who destroy the earth (Rev. 11:18).
All of this misery is brought upon the world
because they do not know the way of peace.
We are an holy people. God set us apart to do
His will and to be an example to the Gentiles.
At present, we are worse than the Gentiles and
we will be destroyed if we do not repent. Our
holocaust will be worse than Judah’s was.
Judah also will be brought to repentance by
power of the Holy Spirit. Repentance is not just
a matter of words but involves action. It
requires the entire reorganisation of our
worship, our calendar, and our socio-economic
system in accordance with the Bible and the
laws of God; all of them.
Further study has now been done on the
calendar system of the United States of
America. Its civil calendar is based entirely on
the days of human sacrifice in the pagan
system. It has nothing whatsoever to do with
Christianity or Christ, or even a civil system. It
is directly a pagan system of worship, based on
the days of human sacrifice. Even some of the
historical events have been moved from the
dates of their actual occurrence to coincide
with a specific day of human sacrifice, under
this sequence of the system of paganism.
The time-frame is established from the
sequence of the prophecies (see the papers The
Last Thirty Years: the Final Struggle (No. 219)
and Outline Timetable of the Age (No. 272)).
