Have you ever been truly desperate for something?
I don’t mean impatiently or anxiously scrambling,
But seriously gripped in desperation’s throes.
Word is, when we are desperate, anything goes!!!
I sincerely hope your answer to my question is, ‘No’,
And that such a dire point in your life, you will never know.
While in life, ‘some rain must fall’, so the ole adage goes,
May you never encounter …desperation’s salvos.
Some Christians believe, with exceptionally strong faith,
From the grip of sheer desperation, they will escape.
Yet consider the fate of first century believers,
Who, for their faith in Jesus, suffered many disasters!
(I don’t disparage faith, not at all,
For to ‘live by faith’, we ALL are called.
Godly faith sees us through life’s trials and tests.
They are meant to strengthen that which they stress.)
My heart aches and cries for those across our world today,
Who’re desperately ensnared by climate change forays.
May we all who are not, or ‘not yet’ so ensnared,
Allow more than just our hearts with them to be paired.
Governments today are caught in the vise grip,
Of managing climate change with no guiding script!
Though recommendations are plenteous,
They ALL spout options that are perilous!
Global conference-after-conference is convened,
Yet from most climate change triggers, we cannot be weaned!
Some pledges of massive north-to-south support are made.
Then by massive disasters, the global north is weighed!
Meanwhile, folks the world over are increasingly desperate.
They scramble for somethings, their conditions to attenuate,
Politicians cling to their ‘stay in, or rise to power’ patterns,
Seemingly blind to the fact that this is the worst time to govern!
For now, no palatable, affordable, end is in sight.
Earth is suffering cumulative effects of our sin blight. 1
The Lord said, ‘…have dominion over all living things,
but we’ve gone too far!
So now I wonder whether there will soon be calls for
a Climate Change Czar?!?
Mounting news reports of widespread climate change effects,
Turn my thoughts and heart even more to Bible precepts,
To whether climate changes might trigger the unveiling,
Of the anti-Christ, and governments he’ll be derailing.
In such a time as this...
This man, son of satan, will be revealed with great acclaim.
In a short time, he will rise to global power and fame!
Endowed with super-natural wisdom and power,
He will then appoint his ‘prophet’ and ten key partners.
In such a time as this...
By all he will be highly revered, initially,
Resolving complex problems, un-traditionally.
When folks delegate to him great power and authority,
They’ll soon recall, absolute power corrupts, absolutely!
In such a time as this...
There will be great rancor when he demands all folks queue,
To receive his permanent ‘mark of the beast’ tattoo!
His God-awful, corrupt ways will earn The Lord’s fierce anger,
Triggering the longest, greatest judgments on Earth, ever! 2
In such a time as this...
IF, ‘on the wings of climate change’, he comes to power,
Then folks may enjoy relief for a while, some succor.
This'll just postpone the greatest climate change
mankind' EVER known:
Forty-two months of birth pangs to bring Christ
…to His global Throne!!! 3
Guess who’ll be the FIRST IMMORTAL residents, per Bible scripts,
In the lake of fire, when The Lord ends His long apocalypse?
There, on the new Earth, they’ll be cast a thousand+ years before,
devils, sinners, hell and death arrive – things The Lord will deplore! 4

2 See: Anti-Christ (Series). The anti-Christ will be revealed following the rapture of The Lord's tried, tested and proven saints. In evil ways, he will mimic Jesus as The Son of God, and will receive miracle-working powers from satan. But keep in mind, all that satan is, has and does is strategically allowed by Jesus, Lord of ALL creation, with the objective of testing, proving and demonstrating who will and will not become His saints. Thus, he will quickly rise to power as ‘the son of satan’, with his personal prophet, plus 7-10 closely allied national leaders across the world. Ponder this: They will have access to every technological advancement available to mankind.
