QUESTION OF THE WEEK! - Will humans destroy the earth?

It’s certainly true that scientists have developed all sorts of deadly weapons that could wreak havoc on this earth. However, there’s something we should always keep in mind. No matter what man tries to do—God is in total control.

The Bible tells us that the earth will be destroyed one day. In 2 Peter 3:10–13, we read that there’s a fiery judgment to come when the elements will melt with fervent heat and there will be a great noise. But this isn’t a description of man destroying himself with nuclear weapons—this is a description of the final judgment by God on this planet.

Just as God judged the wickedness of man in the days of Noah with a global judgment of water and at the Tower of Babel with confusion, so too He’ll judge again—but next time by fire!

Because so many people have rejected the truth of God’s Word and the fact of Creation, they are more fearful of what man can do and about gloomy predictions of the future. Instead, they should be fearing the coming judgment of our Creator and Redeemer—the risen Lord Jesus Christ.
