Mother Earth or Father God?

 Last night we stumbled upon a PBS show that followed a Nature show we had intentionally watched.  The show consisted of showing us all how these people from various parts of the world were all flying to Rome to meet the Pope to discuss what they can all do to save the planet.  One dude was from the rain forest in Brazil and he wore a feathered head dress the entire time.  He also mentioned that his god was some god he called Tuta...or something like that.  Another was a 13 year old girl from India who was a kind of Greta Thunberg except from India.  She had the message that the previous generations had destroyed the earth and now mother nature HAS to be fixed or we're all going to die.  The next dude was from Senegal and the rain and ocean had flooded a school so the kids had no place to study.  His god was Allah.  There is video that he plays of his friends sailing away in an overcrowded boat hoping to get to Europe and enter illegally.  The boat sinks and people die and this is blamed on global warming and social injustice.  And finally we had a husband and wife from Hawaii that flew planes and equipment over the coral reefs and have determined it is all dying because of rising ocean temps and rising sea levels.

So there was our cast.  And now they all made their way to Rome to meet the Pope!  The Pope met with them and said that the Bible has a mythical creation story but has nothing to do with reality.  Furthermore that Mother Earth is being destroyed!  And all the major faiths of the world need to come together and share their efforts with the unbelieving scientists and Social Justice Warriors to stop climate change or we are all going to die.

It was very hard to watch as the Pope never mentioned anything about the weight of sin, the reality of hell, the necessity of Jesus Christ and NOTHING about the problems that God warns of to those who would worship CREATION INSTEAD OF THE CREATOR!!

Of course everyone cried at the end when they all realize together that the planet is dying.  And they all vow to work together and say things like "I'll never forget you!  We can all do this!"  There was no mention of HOW they were going to stay in touch with the feather-wearing Indian who travels by canoe in the rain forest.  Also there was no mention of how much jet fuel was expended by these people flying and driving to get to Rome to see the Pope!  There was no mention on how the 13 yr old girl was qualified to speak at all.

We can't imagine how many times this PBS show is going to be played for school kids all over America!  Of course the Public schools will welcome the fact that this propaganda is serving to turn little kids into Mother Earth worshipers. 

Right before we turned on the TV and ended up watchin this show, I had done by daily Bible reading.  Ironically, on Christmas Day my assigned reading came from Zephaniah and Revelation.

Below is the passage from Zephaniah 1.  God says that one day in the future He is going to wipe away everything from the face of the earth.  All the birds in the sky and all the fish in the sea.  He's also going to destroy all mankind...again.  Read the passage below.  

If you believe the Word of God, and you should, these folks featured on the PBS show last night have NOTHING to say or do that is going to save the world.  

Our focus needs to be on saving souls from a hell-bound world.  We need to worship the Creator and care for the nature He has given us...but NOT WORSHIP THE CREATION. 

It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.  Thank you Jesus for giving your followers peace with God. 

“I will sweep away everything

    from the face of the earth,”

declares the Lord.

3 “I will sweep away both man and beast;

    I will sweep away the birds in the sky

    and the fish in the sea—

    and the idols that cause the wicked to stumble.”[a]

“When I destroy all mankind

    on the face of the earth,”

declares the Lord,

4 “I will stretch out my hand against Judah

    and against all who live in Jerusalem.

I will destroy every remnant of Baal worship in this place,

    the very names of the idolatrous priests—

5 those who bow down on the roofs

    to worship the starry host,

those who bow down and swear by the Lord

    and who also swear by Molek,[b]

6 those who turn back from following the Lord

    and neither seek the Lord nor inquire of him.”

7 Be silent before the Sovereign Lord,

    for the day of the Lord is near.

The Lord has prepared a sacrifice;

    he has consecrated those he has invited.

8 “On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice

    I will punish the officials

    and the king’s sons

and all those clad

    in foreign clothes.

9 On that day I will punish

    all who avoid stepping on the threshold,[c]

who fill the temple of their gods

    with violence and deceit.

10 “On that day,”

    declares the Lord,

“a cry will go up from the Fish Gate,

    wailing from the New Quarter,

    and a loud crash from the hills.

11 Wail, you who live in the market district[d];

    all your merchants will be wiped out,

    all who trade with[e] silver will be destroyed.

12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps

    and punish those who are complacent,

    who are like wine left on its dregs,

who think, ‘The Lord will do nothing,

    either good or bad.’

13 Their wealth will be plundered,

    their houses demolished.

Though they build houses,

    they will not live in them;

though they plant vineyards,

    they will not drink the wine.”

14 The great day of the Lord is near—

    near and coming quickly.

The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;

    the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.

15 That day will be a day of wrath—

    a day of distress and anguish,

        a day of trouble and ruin,

    a day of darkness and gloom,

        a day of clouds and blackness—

16     a day of trumpet and battle cry

against the fortified cities

    and against the corner towers.

17 “I will bring such distress on all people

    that they will grope about like those who are blind,

    because they have sinned against the Lord.

Their blood will be poured out like dust

    and their entrails like dung.

18 Neither their silver nor their gold

    will be able to save them

    on the day of the Lord’s wrath.”

In the fire of his jealousy

    the whole earth will be consumed,

for he will make a sudden end

    of all who live on the earth.
