Durability of the Earth
Richard D:
Chris.
You brought up a good point about nuclear destruction, I imagine the united states alone has enough nuclear bombs to destroy all life on earth perhaps even split the earth in half.
I also understand that the eruptions of volcanoes have the potential of many nuclear explosions at one give time that could also destroy life as we know it.
Even earth quakes and asteroids from outer space can destroy the earth too. But I thank God he’s in charge of His creation.
I guess the bottom line is Christ holds all things together and if Christ wills something to be in existence there is no force greater that can undo what Christ had declared.
So for mans part it’s all about the money. ;D
In His Love. Richard.

This is an interesting Scripture.
Mat 24:22 And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
Does that only have a spiritual meaning?
Think about some of the horrifying things that have happened in the history of the world. Man has messed up everything that he has put his hand to. For centuries man has been raping the land, polluting the air, poisoning the water (some 50 dead zones in the ocean), clear cutting the forests (91% of the Amazon rainforest deforested since 1970), and massacring animals to near extinction.
Man is incapable of properly managing anything because of greed and selfishness, the beast. As technology advances so will the destructive capabilities of man. The world needs a Savior to save us from ourselves physically as well as spiritually.
mercy, peace and love

Man's incapability of handling this environment i totally agree with, even if it was mans will the ability is present
to cause great damage. Point though is that The Author and Finisher is God The Father and it is His Will that
All (Everyone) Be Saved; many So as by Fire (Lake OF Fire).
Todays main arguments are that global warming (man made) and desertification (man made) are decimating
the planet. Is that really true or are there many cyclical changes that occur based on time and place of all
things in Creation that cause then fix then cause then fix. Always we need to go back and look at the evidence
left over longer periods (eons or ages) to see the real story.
Didn't the sometimes continent spanning forest fires destroy more vegetation that we used to build ?. What
breathes in carbon dioxide and produces oxygen? are we not presently having a cooling rather than heating
earth. Man is incapable but; God IS In Control and well able to keep His Earth Operating at Design Specs.
Job 37:23:
Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of
justice: he will not afflict.
Psalms 147:5:
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

Man can't do anything unless God wants it to happen. If man does do something to the earth, we know it's all in God's plan.
Job 38:
v. 4 Where was thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.
v. 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line upon it?
v. 6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner stone thereof;
v. 8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
v. 9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it,
v. 10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
v. 11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

Mark 4:28:
For the earth brings forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
Just a little side tracker here---With this verse we finally have the answer to which came first--the chicken or the egg ;D
