Isaiah 44:6 - 8 "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. (7.) And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.
(8.) Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.”
We hear so much about today global warming and even some Christians have come to believe that there is such a thing; so what about it; is global warming fact or fiction as far as the bible is concerned? I wanted to look at this issue from a Christian prospective because as Christians we need to do what we can to protect the earth that God has allowed us to care for. With this being said please allow me to give you my opinion on this global warming issue. I do not believe we as human beings are destroying the earth with global warming. I believe like so many false concepts of the past global warming is a money making hoax. If we believe in the God of the bible then we must also have confidence in His sovereign will to follow through with those things ordained before the earth was ever created, and to do this we must believe that man cannot interfere with the plan that God has foreordained. If we listen to those who push the idea of global warming then we are rapidly destroying the earth by causing the heat temperature to rise, however this conclusion is reached it must be like the false concept of “carbon dating” to reach the age of the earth and if it is then it must be just as wrong. Now please allow me to point you to the word of God.
If we look at the bible we know without a doubt that if Jesus Christ was to return today the earth is guaranteed to exist at least another one thousand and seven years. We do know that immediately after the return of Jesus Christ (known as the second coming) there will be seven years of tribulation and immediately following those seven years there will be one thousand years the Lord Jesus Christ will reign on this earth plus the short time after that that the final conflict between God, Satan and those on the earth do battle and they (Satan and the ones on the earth) meet their doom. Revelation 20:7-8 "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, (8.) And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.” This is the plan of God and cannot be changed no matter what anyone may say or do; therefore if the earth is warming then it has at least one thousand and seven years left. However, let’s also look at it from this standpoint; those who believe in the global warming theory say that the earth has warmed one degree, so what, the earth is going to be melted with fervent heat after these one thousand and seven years any way so what is one degree? 2 Peter 3:10 “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”
It is my conclusion that global warming is a myth and we as Christians should treat it as such, because we need to depend on God and His sovereignty rather than a bunch of liberal ideas that separate us from trusting the Lord and His foreordained plan.

Acts 8:35-38 "Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. (36.) And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? (37.) And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. (38.) And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him."
Acts 16:30-31 "And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? (31.) And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
