I read this mronings chapter in a couple of versions. Some of the prophetic stuff is tough for me to grasp. I picked this verse out.....cause its similar to what you commented on yesterday, and it jogged a feeling that I have.
15-17 “The sky turns black,
sun and moon go dark, stars burn out.
God roars from Zion, shouts from Jerusalem.
Earth and sky quake in terror.
We humans tend to draw a very distinct line between God.....and science. People either believe in evolution or creation. There's no mixing of the two. Any miracle can be explained with a scientific event. I saw a program on the history channel that was explaining the 10 plagues of Egypt. "You see the frogs were picked up out of this lake that lies directly to the west of Egypt, in a great storm....and they logically dropped 1000 miles away. Its not a miracle, just a strange weather occurance," they said. I tend to think the answer is that they are all pointing to the same thing. God can use science to make things happen. After all, he's the one that created the science, and the weather, and the frogs.......ahhahaha When we finally die, and all the answers become clear.....I think we might be surprised at how similar these 2 viewpoints are. I could see this particular verse as being a celestial event that science would explain as normal space/time events....when in reality it's a God event.
I know, I'm off in left field this morning.
tp out
you may be in left field but I'm with you today. Those are the same verses I picked out this morning too and for similar reasons. I was just thinking what would make this come true then I was thinking about some of the powerful weapons that exist and the possibility that they could darken the sky and for sure make the earth quake. But at the same time if He wants to just do it, he can do it without the need of some scientifically explainable event--he did make the rules and I'm guessing he can make some changes too if need be.
ReplyDeletesometimes science thinks they have things all figured out and I think the evolution story has some merit, then I think oh and a rock was just sitting in the universe and exploded and boom...life. yeah the scientist have a little work to do. that takes even more faith than just believing in the words he has given us.
