The day of the Lord's return will surprise us like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a loud noise, and the heat will melt the whole universe. Then the earth and everything on it will be seen for what they are. Everything will be destroyed. So you should serve and honor God by the way you live. You should look forward to the day when God judges everyone, and you should try to make it come soon. On that day the heavens will be destroyed by fire, and everything else will melt in the heat.
2 Peter 3:10-12
I have some bad news for everyone who wants to "Save the earth." All of the green and recycling efforts multiplied by a million will not save the earth. The earth is doomed and headed for destruction. When it will happen is information that is not available right now, but without a doubt it will happen.
It reminds me of a one hundred year old man who had his life saved by the rescue squad. That is wonderful, of course, but it is only a matter of time and maybe a short time until they will not be able to save him from death.
2012 may not be the year, but the earth will end and the heavens will burn up. God has said it and there is nothing anyone can do about it. God has appointed the day for the end of the earth and it will come on that day! It does not depend on how much energy you use or how careful you are with the environment. All of the "Green" efforts of men will not move that date.
Certainly, it is a good thing to clean up the air and the water and be good stewards of the earth. It makes for a nicer place to live, but none of those things will change the date of the earth's final demise.
But you can change the eternal outcome of your life!
Like the earth itself, every man steeped in sin is headed for destruction. But because of Jesus and His sacrifice on the Cross you can choose instead to live with Jesus in Heaven. Now here is the Good News! When Jesus recycles your life and makes you new again YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER!
