Time of the Revelation is near


The high summer season is coming. I think many people expect it to be very hot this year again because of the global warming phenomena we see today.
We are now not only sensing abnormality in weather but witnessing the changes in ecosystem. For example, we see many sighting reports of black cicadas in Kanto area these days. It is strange because when I was a child, my illustrated insects dictionary was saying that black cicadas live only in south of Kansai area. Actually It was my fun to catch this big cicada when I stayed in my grandpa's house in Kansai, as this insect was never seen in my living place,Tokyo. But we hear now that this cicadas are found in Chiba and Ibaragi Pre. in Kanto area. It is commonly understood that the global warming phenomena is responsible for it.

The global warming phenomena is now very concerned issue in the world today. One of the most important subjects discussed at the Toyako Lake Summit Meeting in Hokkaido was how to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emmission. Among the eight leader contries attending the Meeting, it was agreed that they will share the long-term object to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emmision by 50 % until the year 2050. But new industrial powers, China and India which have been rapidly increasing the emmision volume recently, were againt the plan and the proposed object is still pending.

The Chinese population is 1.33 billion and 1.14 billion for India. The population of these two contries account for the one third of tolal human population. The economic development of these two countries must invite great increase in the consumption of petroleum because of this huge population. No one can stop the tendency as their national interest is involved. The global warming phenomena will surely proceed.

The Christians can see the things in the world from the spiritual point of view and they see the Bible clearly describe about the end of the world.
Especially, Revelation of Apostle John tells about what happen in the seven years in the end days. It tells about the scorch of men by sun's heat.

"Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire." (Revelation 16:8)


Through the global warming phenomena, we must see that the time of Revelation is near. We must not be so much influenced by what we see now as to forget God's plan which controls everything until the end days. Because in end days He will show His many works of salvations through us. We must prepare for the days.
