Massive flooding continues in the news. As you will have undoubtedly already   
   heard by now, the Australian northeastern state of Queensland has been   
   inundated by what has been described as once-in-a-century floods.   
   Approximately 200,000 people have been affected in an area about the size of   
   the American states of Texas and Oklahoma combined. That is a lot of   
   territory folks! According to one Australian writer, despite their losses   
   and the disruption to their lives, the people of Queensland are taking the   
   flooding in stride, and life will go on once the rains stop, and the waters   
   recede.   
      
   To the north, in the Philippines -- a nation which is constantly ravaged by   
   powerful typhoons -- or hurricanes, as they are known in other areas of the   
   world -- severe flooding in the eastern regions of Visayas, Bicol and   
   Caraga, resulting from abnormally heavy rains since this past December, has   
   resulted in over 450,000 people being displaced. In all, the lives of over   
   880,000 people have been affected, and there have been about thirty-three   
   reported deaths thus far.   
      
   Considering all of the other severe flooding that has been occurring in   
   other areas of the world in recent years -- such as China and India -- I   
   can't help but believe that we seeing more effects of Global Warming and   
   Climate Change.   
      
   As I have mentioned to my regular readers before, even in our own area of   
   the world, it is quite evident that weather patterns are changing. When I   
   first arrived here twenty-five years ago, hurricanes -- some of them   
   extremely powerful -- were a very common occurrence; almost yearly in fact.   
   Their frequency became so bad, that some people began to pack their bags and   
   move elsewhere, because one's nerves can only take so much repeated   
   hurricane damage, and extended water and power outages, before he throws up   
   his hands in frustration and quits. As much as I enjoy living here, I myself   
   considered doing the same thing at one point. One more powerful hurricane,   
   and that would have been it for me.   
      
   However, for the past full eight years, something very unusual has happened.   
   We haven't had a single hurricane strike, not a one. While I am extremely   
   thankful to the Lord for this reprieve, yet at the same time, as a long-time   
   resident here, I know that this is not normal. Something is causing this   
   changed weather pattern; and in my view, it can only be Global Warming and   
   Climate Change.   
      
   But, as some of my readers will already know, that is not the only reason   
   why I personally believe that Global Warming is real. In the Book of   
   Revelation we find the following verses, which may be hinting at just such a   
   thing:   
      
   "And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given   
   unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and   
   blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they   
   repented not to give him glory." Revelation 16:8-9, KJV   
      
   There are only a few ways that I can think of interpreting those verses.   
   Consider the following:   
      
   1. They are describing our Sun going nova or supernova.   
   2. They are describing Global Warming.   
   3. They are describing the destruction of the Ozone Layer.   
      
   What do you think?
