Time for some more partially-researched theological speculations!
With all the talk about global warming happening nowadays, a particular Bible verse caught my attention as I skimmed it.
Genesis 9:11 ERV "And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth."
This verse appears to guarantee that the earth will not be subjected to a water-induced catastrophe as projected by global warming activists. Of course, global warming is a very real thing, and the oceans are so far rising. So, what can one say about this apparent contradiction?
The Rapture and ensuing end times will occur before humans manage to mess everything up.
It makes some sense if you think about it. The earth has finite resources, but the human population is multiplying alarmingly fast and consuming resources even faster. The only way to not wreck everything is to revert to a sustainable agrarian society - but nobody wants to do that. Natural resources are a clock ticking towards the end of humanity's stay on this little speck in the universe.
It's the human nature to invent and progress upwards with technology. I can understand why God might choose to give us a fixed time to do all our stuff instead of letting us experience the pinnacle of civilization and then being forced back down to the Bronze Age. When our time is up here, it's onto the next segment of eternity.
