Mr. Harari, How Dare You! :: By Geri Ungurean

To quote Greta Thunberg:

“HOW DARE YOU!!”

Harari completely misses the point of Noah’s Ark. His attempt at likening Climate Change to the Great Flood, which God ordained, is ludicrous.

GENESIS 6:

“Now it came about, when mankind began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. Then the Lord said, ‘My Spirit will not remain with man forever, because he is also flesh; nevertheless his days shall be 120 years.’ The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of mankind, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

“Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of mankind was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. So the Lord was sorry that He had made mankind on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Then the Lord said, ‘I will wipe out mankind whom I have created from the face of the land; mankind, and animals as well, and crawling things, and the birds of the sky. For I am sorry that I have made them.’ But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

“These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God. And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

“Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for humanity had corrupted its way upon the earth.

“Then God said to Noah, ‘The end of humanity has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of people; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth. Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; you shall make the ark with compartments, and cover it inside and out with pitch. This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. You shall make a window for the ark, and finish it to a cubit from the top; and put the door of the ark on the side; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.

“Now behold, I Myself am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which there is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish. But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. Of the birds according to their kind, and of the animals according to their kind, of every crawling thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive. As for you, take for yourself some of every food that is edible, and gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and them.’ So Noah did these things; according to everything that God had commanded him, so he did” (Genesis 6).

But you see, Mr. Harari has no understanding of the Scriptures. If he did, he would understand that the people on earth who God said “every intent of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continuallywere just like him!

He is an arrogant atheist homosexual man who scoffs at the mention of God’s name. And he has the audacity to invoke Scripture to drive home the lie that is GLOBAL WARMING! Mr. Harari has no idea of his eternal destiny in a fiery hell if he does not repent and trust our Lord Jesus Christ.

Brethren – he may indeed be one of those whom God has given over to his depraved mind. WOE to him!

From breitbart.com

Yuval Noah Harari, historian, futurist, and World Economic Forum (WEF) adviser, said on Friday [that] “climate change,” if unaddressed, may cause a “technological Noah’s ark” scenario in which “elites” escape what he framed as planetary catastrophe for humanity.

Harari’s remarks were made as he joined a discussion hosted by the Warwick Economics Summit which framed “climate change” as “the most pressing threat facing humanity.”

Harari framed “climate change” as a function of anthropogenic global warming. He stated:

“Technology is obviously the key. It created the problem in the first place. It’s also a key to the solution, but by itself, technology is never a solution because every technology can be used for good or for ill. It depends on how you [use] it, [and] on which interests you take into account. So yes, we need people to work on the technological aspects, but we need the politicians to direct it in the right way for the benefit of the greatest number of people and of the entire ecosystem. One of the biggest dangers in technological utopianism — [the belief] that, “Oh, the technology will solve it” — is a kind of Noah’s ark syndrome, like in the Bible with the flood, that yes, eventually they built an ark, but just for five people or something like that. Almost everybody drowned.

“There is a very big danger that with climate change, when people talk about what our future is going to be like, there is no “us.” There is no “our future.” Humanity might divide into a majority – maybe – of people who would suffer tremendously, and a minority that will have the resources, the wealth, [and] the technology to protect themselves, and even flourish in some kind of technological Noah’s ark. This is extremely dangerous. Again, I think one of the reasons that we don’t see enough urgency — from leaders, from business elites, and so forth — is that in the back of their minds, they are counting on a technological Noah’s ark, and that’s very, very dangerous.”

CNN’s Bill Weir, who hosted the discussion, described the “COVID pandemic” as a “dress rehearsal” for “the climate crisis” while alluding to the contemporary leftist slogan “trust the science.”

“I keep coming back to the idea that the COVID pandemic is really a dress rehearsal — on a much smaller level — for the climate crisis,” Weir said, “and a reminder about how communities that have trust and faith in science, and each other, sort of suffer the least.” Corporate control in the form of “benevolent capitalism,” he added, may yield “planet-saving” protocols. He continued, “Those who wait for those citizens to start dying suffer the most, but at the same time, we’re still so divided globally within countries about these sorts of things, and there’s a lot of hope that if governments can’t pull it together, then maybe it’ll be corporations, like benevolent capitalism.”

Harari concluded by framing “climate change” as an urgent threat to humanity.

“We don’t have a lot of time,” he held, “but it’s still possible to change our priorities [and] to rewrite the rules of the game so that not just a tiny elite — but all the inhabitants of the planet — will have a better future — or, for starters, will have any kind of future.” Source

Yuval Noah Harari is a despicable person. I’m sorry, but I must say the truth. His only hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ. That would be a miracle for his eyes to be opened.

But our God is in the business of miracles – is He not?

HOW CAN I BE SAVED?

MARANATHA!

Encouragement For Today’s Pastors :: By Grant Phillips

Regardless of the name over the door, today’s churches have been experiencing a drop in attendance, and even more so since the COVID pandemic. Even the seeker-friendly churches have noticed a dip in attendance.

Governmental mandates caused many of the churches to close their doors during the lockdowns of the COVID episode of 2020-21. Even those who attended church somewhat regularly have found it easier to stay home than return to their church’s services. Now they spend time on the lake, in front of the TV, or elsewhere rather than go to church.

I admire pastors like John MacArthur, who refused to close the doors but instead obeyed the Lord. It’s a shame the majority of other pastors didn’t follow suit. I wonder where the churches would be today if those in the first century decided to “close their doors,” stay home, and let the government dictate when, where and how they were to worship? The churches in the first and second centuries defied the governmental authorities and met anyway, even at the peril of persecution and death.

It’s understandable that churches are concerned their numbers are down, but didn’t Jesus say, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them”? (Matthew 18:20). True followers of Christ have always been in the minority. It is recorded in the Gospel of John that many of Jesus’ disciples deserted Him, and so He asked the Twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” (John 6:67).

Jesus also said, “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it” (Matthew 10:37-39).

There still remains many good Bible-believing, Bible-teaching/preaching pastors throughout America. Unfortunately, they are in the minority, but again, Christ’s followers have always been in the minority. Also, even though apostasy reigns in the pulpits and pews of America, there still remains the true church built upon the Rock. Those few who remain true to the Lord and His Word simply must continue upon the road of:

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen” (Matthew 28:19-20).

Many often ask, “How can I make a difference? How can I go to all the nations?” We make a difference one person at a time, beginning in our own backyard; i.e., family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc. When we each take care of our own “backyard,” God will do the rest. We must remember that we cannot save anyone, and we are not asked to do so. We are told by the Lord to be His messengers. The Holy Spirit will work on the hearts of those who will hear.

A strong local church is one that loves the Lord Jesus and knows and obeys His Word, regardless of what is happening in the world.

Some say we need a nationwide revival, and that we do. However, there is no mention of a mass revival for the days we are in, except in the Tribulation. Actually, the Lord tells us that instead of a mass revival, there will be a great apostasy in these last days. See 2 Timothy 3:1-9; 4:1-5.

The world will get worse and worse as it draws closer to the Tribulation, and that includes apostasy becoming worse and worse. That doesn’t mean that there can’t be small fires of revival here and there. As a nation, I see no revival happening, but Jesus will still save any who come to Him with a repentant heart, and He will “revive” any of his followers who want to actually live for Him.

When I open my Bible and then look at the world around me, “the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13) must be very close. The return of Jesus for His bride, the Church, is the next event on God’s calendar.

Now speaking specifically to pastors, I’m sure many today who truly want to follow the Lord’s will are very discouraged. As I mentioned earlier, there are still pastors who actually believe the Bible and teach/preach it as the Holy Spirit guides them. However, most pastors today are wolves among sheep or, at best, incompetent. They do not belong in the ministry.

“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching” (2 Timothy 4:2).

Paul told Timothy, “Preach the word!” He also told Titus to “… speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine” (Titus 2:1). In other words, pastors should be proclaiming all the Word, not just a few select verses, and they should be proclaiming them accurately.

I’ve always admired how J. Vernon McGee and others teach the entirety of the Bible, verse by verse. Jesus told Peter three times to feed His sheep. Many congregations of sheep are not being fed, or at the least, not properly fed. Instead, they receive tidbits instead of a complete meal. Others offer junk food instead of lasting nourishment. Still others speak a false gospel of lies.

Going back to Jesus’ words again to Peter to feed His sheep, every pastor should ask himself a few simple questions such as:

Am I feeding the Lord’s sheep? Am I serving meals from the entirety of God’s vast array of spiritual food in His precious Word? How is my prayer life? How much time am I spending in preparation of full course meals from the holy Word of God? Am I compromising God’s Word to comply with what the world wants to hear, or staying the course of “thus saith the Lord?”

We are all familiar with the phrase “peer pressure” in conjunction with teenagers, but can the same be true of pastors? It most certainly can and does exist. The Lord says to all who preach and/or teach God’s Word:

“I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry” (2 Timothy 4:1-5).

Satan wants all of us, not just pastors, to get our eyes off God and stray from the truth and entirety of the Bible, but those who remain faithful will hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant” from the Master.

Continue in your faithfulness to Him, and let Him worry about the results.
