Sin, not carbon, is the main cause of our environmental problems.

The Revelation of Isaiah, Isaiah 24, Part 2 of 5
Many view carbon or carbon dioxide, or “fossil fuels” as the greatest threats to our environment, things demanding immediate action, and a complete turnaround in how mankind thinks and works.
In truth, the greatest threats to our environment are spiritual, not chemical.
In truth the outlines of our age are much different than what is presented in our propaganda mills.
My second book, Revealing the Christian Age, gives an overview of the book of Revelation, and the tools you need for further study. It is available from your book seller.
The Revelation of Isaiah, Isaiah 24, 1 of 5
Isaiah 24 is called by many “The Apocalypse of Isaiah.” Apocalypse refers to “Apocalupsis” the Greek title of the New Testament Book of Revelation.
In truth, Isaiah 24 does overlap the book of Revelation and other prophecies of the end of this universe.
Isaiah 24 starts off by talking the earth, the entire world, being ruined by its inhabitats.
It is true that mankind’s sins have always affected our environment.
Many do not know how to approach and intelligently read and understand Bible prophecy. It is a specialized type of literature. My first book, Prophecy Principles, gives the background we need to understand Bible prophecy, and gives an overview of some of the main themes of Bible prophecy. See the details on the books tab, and order from your bookseller.
Are there often unrecognized true Christians around? For sure.
The Lord knows those who are His, 1Tim 2:19, but often even other believers do not know!
An audio lesson:
As some have said, “We are not the only Christians, but we are (or should be) Christians only.”
The Church of Our Lord: An eternal temple made with hands!
The true church of our Lord is NOT a human entity at all. It has no earthly headquarters. It has no earthly head. Jesus is its head, and He is in heaven.
It is an eternal temple made without hands.
An audio lesson.
We often misunderstand the nature of God’s holy temple, His holy church. We are living stones in this temple 1Pe 2:5 , which will one day fill the whole earth, Dan 2:35.
What You Will See, and What You Will Hear! Isaiah 18. And Yes! WE Will ALL Be There!
Even those who crucified Him, Rev 1:7.
Some think that if we do not know the date and hour of Jesus Coming (which we don’t!), that means there will be no signs of Jesus Second Coming.
This is a Fallacy.
There are many things of which we may not know the day or hour, yet there will be signs of these things being about to happen. You may not know the day or the hour that snow will next fall where you live, HOWEVER, there will signs of snow approaching. Freezing temperatures. Snowy looking clouds.
There are many things we do not or cannot know, but there will be signs of Jesus approaching coming (Lk 21:25-28), and we are to be “Watching,” Mk 13:37 KJV.

To try to unravel the book of Revelation without the Old Testament prophets, is something which I do not think can be done. The book Revealing the Christian Age, tries to tie together many of the main links. Available from your bookseller.
An Uproar of the Nations, and Who Will Be Protected? Isaiah 17
An uproar, a tumult, of the nations against God and His Christ and His followere here on earth, and is a subject of the both the Old Testament and the New Testament, and is talked about in many passages, including Revelation, and in Isaiah 17.
A key question is: Who will be protected during those times? And Scripture gives some answers.

God does look after His own!
More details on these things are given in both Prophecy Principles and Revealing the Christian Age.
Revealing the Christian Age gives the reader the tools for a second look at the book of Revelation. For more information click the books tab at the top of this site. These books are available from your book seller.
The Lord’s Reign, Isaiah 1 and 2, Part 4 of 5
Major religions are often pictured as mountains in Scripture. Isaiah 2 pictures the later to come Christianity as coming to dominate all other religions.
More than that, it pictures a future time, when ALL nations will voluntarily flow to it. But that has NOT happened … at least YET!

The Faithful City Has Become a Harlot, Isaiah chapters 1 and 2, Part 3 of 5
Harlotry is a big subject in Scripture, and Harlotry in the Old Testament Hebrew sense, includes not only women, but also men, and it includes all types of promiscuous behavior.
Also there is the Great Harlot in Scripture. She is symbolized by ancient Tyre and Sidon. She is a Religio-Commercial-Political entity which has dominated world trade, and many nations, evidently since pre-Christian times.
But God is going to relieve Himself of His enemies, and is going to restore the Jews to faithfulness in His Messiah, Rabbi Jesus of Nazareth. Scripture tells us these things will happen at some point in the Christian Age, when the Jews are in great distress.
Audio lesson”
These issues are dealt with in detail in my third book, Jewish Chronicles. The discussion there starts with how the Jews got off track from faithfulness to their God, and where this has led, and where this is going.
How Many will be Saved? Isaiah chapters 1 and 2, Part 2 o 5
It is a big question, how many will be saved?
Many will assure you that ALL will be saved, but that is NOT what Scripture teaches.
The truth is that at some point God may say to you and men, “I have had enough.”
That can have disastrous result for us. However, God does give people, even really bad people, plenty of time to turn around, plenty of time to repent, and come to God, if we will.
An audio lesson:
Isaiah 1 indeed gives us a program for life, even if we are very deeply in sin.
