Hashkama: Scares through the years
Britain, and indeed the world, are in the process of insulating itself, not so much against Climate Change, but rather against the love of God and the Word of God. God loved the world in this way, He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:6). Jesus is the One who gives life. Everything that was made was made through Him (John 1:3). He holds all things together. Nothing can change that.
If you do not believe in the Creator God, you are open to believe in anything, and Climate Change is the new secular religion. There are the roots of paganism sprouting and spreading, and threading its way through the DNA of this belief system. In October (31st October – 12th November 2021), the month of Halloween and also Oktoberfest, the high priests of the new religion assembled in Glasgow, to offer up their wisdom in the tenth month. It reminded me how we are told in the Book of Revelation that ten kingdoms are to arise (see also Daniel 9:6). I am not suggesting this is that, but perhaps the Climate Change fiasco will lead the world in that direction. Climate Change is a push for change in world politics. The pushers (many of them invisible to the naked eye) want a One World Government. What an indictment of Britain that the COP26 puppet-show took place in these isles. Everyone is on the bandwagon – politicians, movie-stars, show-biz types, millionaires and trillionaires, singers and song-writers. They are all there, dancing to the same unholy tune. A tune that sings out that there is no God but us. Christians prepare. Prepare to be shoved out of the door of Humanity. You are going to be called less than human. You are going to be told that you don’t deserve to live. This will be just the beginning. God’s word tells us what is to come before He comes again. God is in control. He is never out of control, not for one moment. So what is all this baloney about the world ending in so many years because of man-made climate-change? There is so much more to happen before God bring this age to an end. Humans will remain on the earth for as long as God decrees, no longer…and no less.
Although there are no official human sacrifices to Mother Earth being offered up as such, suffering and death is already occurring and will increase. The wilful disregard for the Creator God that is taking place across the globe, will lead to serious consequences. Human-made scares through the years have led to the death of people, and of animals. The scares, mostly fuelled by bad science and incompetent politicians have cost billions of pounds. Waste is one of the great concerns of environmentalists. Yet apart from the past wasted millions, the scare of Covid and Climate Change, is costing/wasting trillions of pounds now. The scares through the years have been just that…. scares! None of the scientific predictions came true in the past, and they won’t now. The scares produce fear, and fear does the rest, producing the desired result. By using scare tactics, world leaders receive the backing they want from those poor, unsuspecting unfortunates, who will be used and abused by the untouchables, as they are led to ruin and serfdom. Today’s children are being sacrificed for the rich children and grandchildren of the wealthy. Climate Change is not the reason or the danger. Greed is the reason, and greed will lead them home – a home of slavery. Human-Made Climate Change is a religion of division, and a house divided cannot stand (Mark 3:25). God is the one who will divide humanity (Matthew 25:32).
It is a tree-mendous con of the environmentalists to speak of a better future for our children’s children, and those beyond, when the world is turning a blind eye to those thousands of lives being aborted, and thrown out as waste. Those living today count for very little, as we shall see when each political decision is taken concerning climate change. Then there is the push for euthanasia. Life is cheap. The concern for the future is that the unelected super-rich remain super-rich, with a world moulded to their likening. We are inviting judgment and destruction, not life and a future. The world is under a great delusion.
A pattern emerges from the scares over the years. To be convincing, the danger in question must be something universal. The source of the seeming danger must be something that almost anyone in the population could be affected by. In the past it has included things such as beef, asbestos, eggs, and of course, the big one, climate change. The nature of the danger must be a threat that has never been seen in this guise before. The scientific basis for the scare must appear plausible, but the threat to humanity should also contain a certain element of uncertainty. It should be ill-defined, thereby maximizing the opportunity for alarmist speculation concerning the damage the particular danger might cause. We have seen an abundance of this in the Covid experience. Then there is the response of society. It must be disproportionate. This is the essence of what defines a ‘scare’. Even where the threat is not completely imaginary, the response to it in the long term, seems out of all proportion to its reality. Contained in an unfolding scare we witness how two competing forces are at work. There are what might be described as the ‘pushers’, whose interest it is to promote the scare, and to talk it up. These will include scientists who by gaining public attention win fame and fortune, as their projects receive more funding. Then there are the ‘blockers’, which includes those whose interest is to downplay the scare. It might include government or industry. Government because it is seen to be not responding adequately, or industry that is threatened in some way. We notice all of this in modern-day scares, and of course, there is also the media input. What pressure is exerted form the ‘pushers’ decides whether a scare will take off and fly. Will the pressure they exert override the resistance from the ‘blockers’? That is the question. As we see in the long battle over Global-Warming-come-Climate-Change, the ‘pushers’ are galloping away. Sadly, pushers of this great deception are found in the Christian Church, the Archbishop of Canterbury appears to be one such, despite having the Scriptures and despite having the Holy Spirit. Christians are without excuse. I would suggest we see something of this in the Israeli-Palestinian situation too. Who owns the land? Does Israel have a right to exist? Antisemitism continuing unabated. A force will eventually come against Israel with the intention of answering these questions once and for all. The questions will be answered, but not in the way they anticipate. The king of the north will meet his Waterloo (Daniel 11). The Antichrist will meet his end (2 Thessalonians 2:8). The breath that infused the first human with life (Genesis 2:7), brings death to the one who brought death to the world. The darkness could not extinguish the light (John 1:5); but the darkness will be destroyed by His appearing (2 Thessalonians to 8).
The Last Chance Saloon is the no-chance saloon. It’s a delusion. One can almost sympathise with the fall of Rome and its great empire, when you consider the dance-of-death taking place in the so-called developed world. Nations that were held together by the word of God have burned the book, and so will cook in the heat of their own making. The nations will be in uproar as confusing and fear spread like a great pandemic. Minds grow dim, and hearts faint for fear of what is coming on the world. It is not climate change we need to fear. Humanity will fear falling into the hands of the living God. Like Adam and Eve tried to hide from God (Genesis 3:10) when they brought sin and calamity into the world, humans will try to hide from God (Revelation 6:16). We see the futile rise and fall of humans attempting to be god. “For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. What is foolishness to the Greeks and a stumbling block to the Jews is the Cross of Christ – the power of God unto salvation. God’s love and God’s power are spurned by the ‘wise’ of this present age. Prince Charles was in his element at Cop26 and the various gatherings which took place. The hero prince, a wannabe saviour of mother earth, relishing the adoration of all the other wannabes. But when push comes to shove, all such will call on the mountains to fall upon them when they hear the roar of God penetrating creation, and when they feel the hot breath of the wrath of the Lamb.
Talk to the trees because the ears ain’t listening
Bonkers Britain is led by a disappointingly Bonkers Boris. Boris does Biden’s bidding, so we will watch America collapse and Britain with it, unless God intervenes. The brain has drained through all the polluting clap-trap that Climate Change pushers have pushed onto the world. Leaders end up as followers and pushers of putrid [anti] science. Like the drug-pushers on the streets looking for financial profit, CC-pushers profit by the popularity and pomposity of ignorance. They want to be up there with the trillionaires who wave their dollars around, tempting the contemptible. The world is swallowed up in a great delusion. The ‘pushers’ are so intoxicated with the smell of even more riches that they don’t see the cliff-edge that they are running high speed into.
A blast from the past example scare is that of 1966, when Boris Johnson was almost two-years-of-age. Stephen Dorrell suggested that there might be a connection between the recently identified ‘new variant CJD’ and the epidemic of ‘mad cow disease’ (BSE). BSE had been careering through Britain’s dairy herds during the past decade. Dorrell did go on to say that there was no actual scientific proof of a link, saying, ‘the most likely explanation at present is that those cases are linked to exposure to BSE’. The political and financial consequences of that little sentence going out were explosive. There had already existed speculation about whether BSE could be passed on to humans, but that was always denied. The above sentence was enough to set off hysteria. The EU didn’t exactly go into lockdown, but one country after another raced to ban imports of British beef. A bit like with COP26, but Britain’s media in the case, vied with each other to see who could come up with the most horrific scenario for the future. The Observer painted a dramatic picture, predicting that, vCJD caught from eating BSE-infected beef in the late 20th Century would be killing half-a-million Britons every year. National Euthanasia clinics would be ‘struggling to help five-hundred people a week to a dignified death before brain disease robs them of reason and self-control’. Britain would have been a nation in quarantine for some years, completely shunned by the outside world. The Channel Tunnel would have been blocked off by ‘five miles’ of French concrete’. The NHS would have collapsed under (sound familiar?) ‘the strain of caring for more than two million victims of CJD’. The entire ‘fabric of the nation’ would be disintegrating. The Observer said that these were the predictions of a scientist ‘once reviled by the establishment’ but ‘now proven right and those views last week took on a disturbing new authority’. Not only was there no evidence for any of this, but what evidence there was pointed in a different direction. As a political compromise it was agreed that an animal over 30 months old, having come to the end of its useful life, should be slaughtered. Scientifically it wasn’t necessary, but it’s what they did, at a cost to the taxpayer of £3.7 billion. On top of that was the wider damage caused by an avalanche of BSE-related regulations, costing the farming economy billions more. In 1997, fourteen months after his prediction of 500,000 deaths from vCJD, Dr Pattison confessed that his epidemic was not going to take place. That the final number might ‘end up at around 200’. This was the doctor that had engineered the BSE scare. The media, having talked it up to begin with, now had nothing to say. Millions of healthy cattle continued to be killed unnecessarily at immense cost to who? Yes, the taxpayer. The EU lifted its restrictions in 2006. By then vCJD had fallen to zero. This is the scare that was. There are many more, and more again now. Don’t believe the Climate Change predictions. There are always scientists and experts ready to ‘mislead’, especially if the price is right.
A secret report, suppressed by the US defence chiefs and obtained by the Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020. Nuclear conflicts, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will spread across the world. . . deaths from war and famine run into the millions, until the planet’s population is reduced by such an extent the Earth can cope. Access to water becomes a major battleground . . . Rich areas like the US and Europe would become ‘virtual fortresses’, to prevent millions of migrants from entering, after being forced from land drowned by sea-level rise or no longer able to grow crops. – The Observer, 2004.
This disaster is not set to happen in some science fiction future many years ahead, but in our lifetime. Unless we act now . . . these consequences, disastrous as they are, will be irreversible. – Prime Minister Tony Blair, 29th October 2006.
Almost everywhere, climate change denial now looks as stupid and unacceptable as Holocaust denial. – George Monbiot, The Guardian, 21st September 2006.
Some might recall Al Gore’s polemic on Lake Chad. He claimed it was shrinking due to climate change. He had either not heard or he had ignored what Winston Churchill had said in 1899, the year Churchill had noted the lake was shrinking. In fact, Churchill and his contemporaries new that the lake had been shrinking for some time. NASA, among others, put the shrinkage down to likely irrigation draws, overgrazing, and poor land use management. The shrinking of Lake Chad was very old news. There were many discrepancies in Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth”.
The rejection of the Creator God leads to all kinds of fables. God created the heavens and the earth; humans cannot end what God began. God makes all things new (Revelation 21:5). There is a new creation coming. God will wrap up the old one like a garment, and He will roll out the new heavens and a new earth wherein righteousness dwells (Revelation 21; Isaiah 65:17-19; 2 Peter 3:13). That is the genuine ‘Great Re-Set’.
“The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness” (2Thessalonians 2:9-12).
Blessings and shalom
