Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time. (Revelation 20:1-3 NASB)

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. (Revelation 21:1 ESV)

Two years ago (2018-11-25) Facebook lock me out of my own account because they suspect someone is posting on my behalf. I wonder which post caused them to think that my account was hacked? I suspect because I posted this article "The Big Bad Forces of Censorship and Intimidation in Climate Science. Willie Soon, PhD - YouTube" on the day before (2018-11-24) in Facebook.

Climate change and ecology will not end the world. The Bible predicted a golden age of a thousand years before the current world will finally come to an end and a new world will be created. But those who refuse to believe continue to write dire predictions that never come true. It is amazing to know that people continue to believe in climate change despite all these fail predictions.

Choosing When The Perfect Ends

"For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. (Matthew 24:21 NASB)

Coming after the worst tribulation the world ever experienced will be a thousand years of peace.

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time. (Revelation 20:1-3 NASB)

Satan will be locked up and it will be a world without lies, something we can never imagine today. So isn't it wonderful to have such a world? Why does it last only a thousand years and at the end of it, Satan will be released for a while?

Because we are saved by who we believe and not what we do. During a thousand years of ideal condition, everyone who is born during this period will be doing the right thing. But what is in their heart?

And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. (Revelation 20:7-8 ESV)

When he is released, he will go out and deceive the nations. All those who are born in the millennium, who know Jesus as King, who never know what a lie is, who never know sin, will now make a choice that will determine whether they live or die. Like Adam and Eve of old in their original paradise, they will now choose if they will believe in Jesus or Satan.

The Two Religions Faith And Works

There are only two religions in the world. One says you are saved by who you believe and another says you are saved by what you do.

Faith
And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." (Acts 16:31 ESV)

Works
On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.' (Matthew 7:22-23 ESV)

Saved By Doing

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 7:21 ESV)

Did I always say that we are saved by who we believe and not what we do? Well, the Bible says you also can be saved by doing stuff.

What must you do?

You must do the will of God.

What is the will of God?

To believe in His Son.

For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day." (John 6:40 ESV)

Israel Not Rejected For What They Did

This is what the LORD says: "Just as the heavens cannot be measured and the foundations of the earth cannot be explored, so I will not consider casting them away for the evil they have done. I, the LORD, have spoken! (Jeremiah 31:37 NLT)

Israel will not be cast away, despite their unfaithfulness. Neither will we be cast away. The same God saves us both.

If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself. (2 Timothy 2:13 NASB)

Adam's Choice

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all people, because all sinned. In fact, sin was in the world before the law, but sin is not charged to a person's account when there is no law. (Romans 5:12-13 CSB)

Adam was the first man. Because Adam sinned, so sin entered the world. Because of sin, death entered the world.

But what did Adam do? Did he break any of the ten commandments? He could not dishonour his parents, because he had none. He did not kill, because the only other human was his wife. He could not commit adultery because there was only one woman. He could not steal because everything belonged to him. He did not have to tell lies since he had nothing to cover up. Anyway, the ten commandments were not given yet so he could not break any of them.

So what did Adam do that cause sin and death to enter the world?

Adam did not believe. Adam did not believe the Word of God. Instead, he believed the word of the serpent. Because of his unbelief, sin and death entered the world.

Today, life is more complicated. We have more than two voices to choose from. We have so many people telling us so many things. And we have so many people claiming to speak on behalf of God.

As it was in Adam's days, so it is today. If we believe the Word of God, we will choose life. If we do not believe the Word of God, we will choose death. Times have changed, but the options are still the same.

For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. (1 Corinthians 15:21-22 ESV)

Believe And Live

But his officers tried to reason with him and said, "Sir, if the prophet had told you to do something very difficult, wouldn't you have done it? So you should certainly obey him when he says simply, 'Go and wash and be cured!'" (2 Kings 5:13 NLT)

People like to believe that the greater the reward, the greater effort is needed. Great thing like eternal life will certainly mean that some extremely great effort must be required of those who wanted it.

First, the bad news. No man can attain eternal life by their own effort.

Next, the good news. You only need to believe in the One who can give eternal life to you.

But nobody believe that eternal life is just a matter of believe. They will try all kinds of difficult tasks and do all kinds of good works. It is so difficult to believe.

And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." (Acts 16:31 ESV)
