In Bible study yesterday, I learned something from my daughter and sister that I had never seen before. We have been learning about the seven covenants which God had made with man (they are: Eden (pre-fall), Adam (post-fall), Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus), and yesterday we were discussing the Noahic covenant. The Lord God includes this promise as His part of keeping the covenant:
"While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." Genesis 8:22
Cold and heat, and summer and winter, are as fixed as day and night as long as the earth remains. So we know already that the doomsday scenarios, in which man causes global warming which eradicates the seasons is not going to happen. The Lord God promised us that cold AND heat, summer AND winter would not cease. Another doomsday scenario is nuclear winter, or asteroid impact. Since those things would eradicate the seasons, we can be assured that they also will not happen. God is true to His word, and He will not violate His covenant, nor alter the utterance of His lips. So the next time someone tries to make you scared that global warming will bring in another ice age a la The Day After Tomorrow, just smile in your assurance that it will not happen. 🙂
