The Scripture from Revelation, in my opinion, is speaking of something much bigger than the environment. Who are those that are destroying the earth and what kind of destruction is taking place that would cause God to bring about His final judgment upon the world? Surely, the Day of the Lord is justified by more than damage to nature!

Dr. James Taylor, in his book It’s Biblical, Not Political, addresses other elements of this topic, all pointing to the overwhelming fact that the founding fathers used their faith and the Bible for the basic framework of the Constitution and our entire government down to individual states.

s Messianic believers, we live in fascinating times. We are participants in the re-emergence of the spiritual remnant and nation of Israel.

The children of Israel prospered and grew into a nation serving a vigorous Egypt. But then Egypt became decadent—full of themselves under a new pharaoh who did not know how God had blessed them under Joseph, and the children of Israel suffered. When they cried out, God said it was time for them to leave. He delivered His people with great judgments.

Zephaniah is the pre-eminent prophet on the subject of “The Day of the Lord.” When that subject comes up, most believers don’t know how to react to it. This is partly due to how we avoid the subject of the “Day of the Lord” directly.

Have you ever considered what issue could be so powerful to cause your own family members and fellow citizens to hate you so much because you stand for the commandments of God?

Don’t act out of fear; act out of faith and God’s promise. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your strength, and with all your mind. Obey His commandments. Get your Sukkah ready!
