The Prophetic Nasty Weather

About a year ago (1/18/2015),  I wrote this:

The Lord uses bad weather as a warning sign that He's not pleased with the behavior of His creation. The bad weather that struck America's upper east coast in 2012-2013 slammed states that not only offer gay marriage, but also have some of the highest abortion rates in the nation. Though there's been a break in the bad weather along the east coast, it's going to return. And with a vengeance. And it's going to strike more than just the upper east coast--it's going to strike all over the planet. 

 Certainly, violent storms have been a part of human existence since the beginning of time. But they do seem to be happening more frequently and causing more destruction than ever before. The recent storm (Jonas) that paralyzed much of America's east coast with heavy snow and flooding rains was described by some as a storm of historic proportions.

As Jonas approached the east coast, this is what some forecasters were saying:

It’s blizzard time on the East Coast, and this week’s storm could wind up being one for the ages. But lost in all the discussion of snow looms a coastal flood threat that could rival some of the strongest storms ever to hit the Northeast.Weather models continue to go all-in on what may wind up being Washington, D.C.’s snowiest snowstorm in history, besting a 28-inch snowfall back in 1922. At the moment, the Washington area is in the bull’s-eye, with potential for anywhere from 20 to 36 inches, according to the latest models. The storm is currently forecast to be a Top 10 snowstorm for Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City, too. On Wednesday morning, the National Weather Service issued a blizzard watch for the Washington area, warning of life threatening conditions.

Of course, some folks will blame severe storms such as Jonas on "Climate Change", as if bad weather never occurred before the advent of the industrial age. But it's been occurring since the beginning of time, and it's going to get worse. Why? Because of the proliferation of sin throughout the world.

Sins such as abortion that has murdered millions of innocent babies over the last 50 years. Sins such as murder, rape, violence, pedophilia, sexual perversion and murder committed in deference to the gods of false religions. Yes, that means Islam.

There's a direct correlation between the increase of sin in the world and violent weather. Here's more from that article I wrote last year:

Is the weather getting worse? Or is the spate of recent bad weather something that's just an unusual occurrence? According to biblical prophecy, the bad weather is a specific warning sign to the world that we're living in the end times and that things are indeed going to get worse. When Jesus Christ revealed some of the specific prophetic signs that would alert the world that His return was near, he stated that there would be "fearful events and great signs from heaven." (Luke 21:11) 

Indeed, the weather is getting worse and is going to continue to worsen as we get near to the return of Jesus Christ. The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) said this: The latest science suggests that more hurricanes are yet to come. Tropical storms are likely to bring higher wind speeds; more precipitation and bigger storm surge in coming decades. Over the course of this century, maximum wind-speeds could increase 2-11 percent and rainfall could increase 3-31 percent.

The monster storm that slammed the east coast will pass; the snow will melt and Jonas will become a memory. But more violent weather is on the way. And if you think that Jonas was bad, then you haven't seen anything. The world is going to experience the type of violent weather that it's never seen before. The loss of life and the property damage will be immense.

What's the antidote? The antidote is simple; repentance from evil and the fear of God and respect for His laws and commandments. That's the antidote. Nothing else will do. In the ancient times when Israel rebelled against the Lord, He brought judgment upon that nation.

And He did so reluctantly. To the prophet Isaiah (8th century B.C.) He said this: "Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness—only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with olive oil. Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers." (Isaiah 1:5-7)

And so, the next time you look out the window and see nasty weather coming, consider it's message. The Lord's trying to convey His message to the world to turn from sin and repent. But is anyone listening?
