The Earth's Rebellion

 

The Earth's Rebellion Against Man's Choices

…that you should show forth the praises of Him who has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light – 1 Peter 2:9.

   There seems to be a major misunderstanding in that there are two systems working simultaneously in the earth at this present time. One is Satan’s world system and the other is the Kingdom of God. The ignorance of this dual system has caused many to question God’s wisdom and integrity. 
   When God created this earth and the universe around us, He had a major Vision that He was intent on seeing come to pass. God, through the Word and the Spirit, created everything that we see out of things that we can’t see. Today this is not hard to understand. Light is made of photons but that same light has many different aspects depending on frequency. We can see light in the visible spectrum but when it comes to infra-red or X-rays they are invisible. We know they exist because we now have the technology to prove they exist. They have, however, existed since the very beginning of the earth. We now understand that many things exist that we cannot see, hear, taste or smell. 
   In the beginning, man was given dominion over everything on this earth and he was told by God to subdue it. Man was first placed in a garden, a small part of the planet, but the plan was for him to take control of the earth and eventually the entire universe. 
   Dominion is a powerful thing. It meant man was to rule and control the garden then the earth then the universe. The earth was given to us and its care became our responsibility. This is very important because we now know through Quantum Physics that everything is inter-connected by an intelligent matrix that exists between every atom, quark and molecule. It’s called the Zero Point Field. We can’t see this field but it is responsible for so many things that we take for granted. Take life for example: What causes the cells of a fertilized human egg to begin to grow into a heart or a liver or even a leg? It is this intelligent matrix that directs those cells as an unseen and undetectable force. We can’t see it but it’s there and it’s been there since the beginning. 
   When God gave dominion of earth to man, He did not give the earth to man. The earth still belongs to the Lord. Dominion was given for a period of six thousand years as a way of training and refining this creation called man. Because dominion is such a powerful thing, great repercussions could result for the entire planet and universe if wrong decisions were made. To counteract this possibility, God put a form of intelligence in the earth that causes the earth to respond to wrong decisions or what God calls sin. Sin is the process of making the wrong choice. Satan showed us that. When he came into the garden, his entire plan was based on helping man make the wrong choice. That choice became the source of the lie for man and man has been held captive by the lie since that time. What we do not understand is that when we consistently make the wrong choices, sin increases. When sin increases to a certain level, the darkness affects the earth and the earth will do whatever it can to remove the burden. We call them tornadoes, wild fires, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, storms, famine, droughts, etc, but these are really just the means by which the earth cleanses itself from the burden that WE have put on it by our sin or our wrong choices.

   And God said to Cain, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out unto Me from the earth. And now you are cursed from the earth…” – Genesis 4:10-11.
 
   Cain made the wrong choice and murdered his brother. The earth was affected and Cain paid the price of the earth being contaminated with his sin.

   Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the Lord. And the Lord answered, “It is for Saul, and his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites” – 2 Samuel 21:1. 

   Notice the reason for the famine. It was not a natural phenomenon. It was the result of Saul’s wrong choice to slay the Gibeonites. David, however, understood the nature of God and he had enough understanding to know that something was not right. When he asked, God told him. We’re too intelligent to ask. We’re so infatuated by ourselves that we don’t have a clue how God or this earth works. 

   Defile not yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you…For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled. That the land spue not you out also, when you defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you – Leviticus 18:25-28. 

   It doesn’t get any clearer than this. This is God telling us how the earth works. When the sin of a nation gets to be too heavy for the land, the land will rebel against man and cleanse the land. It has been that way since the beginning. Because we are ignorant of God’s ways we call the destruction, Mother Nature. These acts of nature are not random nor are they accidental. They will keep occurring until something changes, either man and his choices or the earth and her condition. Right now the earth is sick because man is sick. We have been called out of darkness into the wonderful light of Jesus Christ but we refuse to come out of the darkness. 

   If my people which are called by MY name will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land – 2 Chronicles 7:14.

   Heal their land. This is the answer we are all seeking, but we refuse to do it God’s way. We will, however, in the end because things are going to get worse not better. Natural catastrophes are going to continue to increase in number and severity until we’re ready to humble ourselves and embrace the truth. Hurricane Katrina was only a warning. The blood of innocents is crying out from this earth so strongly that only one thing can save us, a heart ready to repent and turn to the Creator for mercy and instructions. We are our own worst enemies. Our pride and arrogance to God causes our rebellion to only get worse. Our country is divided, people are full of anger, our children are bored, our young women are embracing whoredom and flaunting it, drug use and addiction are rampant, divorce is commonplace, and living together out of wedlock is the in-thing. We have murdered millions of innocent babies since Row vs Wade and the life of an eagle has gotten more valuable than the life of a human being. The earth is full of hatred and war is on the tongue of everyone. We despise ourselves so much that we hire plastic surgeons to reshape our bodies. The love for one another has grown cold as we become more and more narcissistic. What part of all of this are we enjoying?
   As you read this, stop and ask yourself this question: Are My choices adding to the burden of sin that the earth has to throw off and balance? 
   You are either part of the problem or you are part of the solution. There is no neutral territory. You may think this whole thing is a bunch of garbage, but within a very short time you will remember this message. We are in the line of fire of a Vision that is racing toward fulfillment and God’s Kingdom will come to this earth whether you believe it or not. 

   For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected the same in hope. Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now – Romans 8:19-22.

   The next time you see the devastation of an earthquake or a tornado, remember that this devastation need not be. All man has to do is repent, turn from our wicked ways and God will heal our land. Not one place in the country will be spared. Every state, county and city will eventually experience the repercussions of wrong choices (sin). 
   God is expecting man to take his rightful place as ruler of the earth and begin to show forth the power of love as it covers this blue orb and transforms the darkness into His wonderful light. It is OUR choice. Jesus Christ has won for each of us the position of a king, but we will never achieve that position if we continue to eat with the swine. Arise and shine for our Light has come!
