Christians, do you believe, when the world gets to be terrible (global warming, nuclear war, peak oil) that..?

Question

God will actually save us or intervene in any way?

If so, is this just a convenient way of ignoring the problem?

Answer 1

Whatever happens, in the end we will be in Heaven with God, so I really don't care what happens here on earth.

Answer 2

Well the Bible tells us that this world will grow worse. I see the past hundred years or so as confirmation. Everyone scoffed that the predictions about Israel for hundreds of years because there was no Israel. But in 1948 -'its back', after nearly 1900 years of not existing. The Bible also said that once Israel comes back that no one will defeat them until Jesus returns. They have managed to fend off every Muslim attack since 1948, and take territory. They have withstood attacks from many Muslim nations at one time. Israel is about the size on one county in a normal size state, yet they have whipped several nations combined that are larger that the United States. I think God will intervene-right at the very end just like He said.

Answer 3

We won't ignore the problem. What did Paul say? Even tho' we know the outcome, never give up the good fight.

Yes, God will intervene, right before Russia and China march down from the north too invade Israel.

Good Question.

Answer 4

No one knows when Jesus will return but it will happen when God pleases. When that day comes, jesus will take away all who believe in His name to be with Him. This is called the rapture.
Conditions on earth are merely a sign of times but do not decide the time of the rapture.

As far as the big problems in the world, God has said that He will protect and lead those who would obey Him. That means we Christians can have peace knowing that as long as we continue to obey God and walk in His way and word, that He will preserve and guide us and keep us from harm.

Answer 5

We don't know what we may have to endure until Christ comes back for us, but the Bible says HE does not put more on us than we can bare and I know for a fact and from personal experience that the hard times make us stronger therefore making our FAITH even stronger.He will come back for us one day but until that day, during your hard times surround yourself with Christians because together we can help each other through and the main thing is to "keep looking up", keeping you eyes and your thoughts on the Lord and don't be afraid to be afraid and don't hesitate to ask for help and lean on others when you falter. We all fall short at times but just look around, there will always be someone to help pick you up wither in person, phone, or now days, even on the internet. God bless you and stay grounded in your faith and it will see you through no matter what.

Answer 6

Yes he will step in shortly and deliver us, but no it is not ignoring the problem because he will whipe out all the problems in the world that plague us not just the ones you mention but all the things including old age sickness and death and he will clean upthe earth through his Son Jesus Christso no the problem will be dealt with, and completely solvedand God's eternal purpose realized! What Is God's Purpose?
MANY people who doubt the existence of an all-powerful, loving God ask: If God does exist, why has he allowed so much suffering and wickedness throughout history? Why does he allow the sorry state of things we see around us today? Why does he not do something to bring an end to war, crime, injustice, poverty, and other miseries that are escalating at an alarming rate in so many countries of the earth?
It is suggested by some that God created the universe, installed humans on planet Earth, and then left them to run their own affairs. According to this view, God would not be to blame for the trouble and misery that people bring upon themselves because of their greed or mismanagement.
However, others reject such a theory. For example, physics professor Conyers Herring, who acknowledges a belief in God, states: "I reject the idea of a God who long ago set a great clockwork in motion and has since been sitting back as a spectator while mankind wrestles with the puzzle. One reason for my rejection of this is that my scientific experience gives me no reason to believe that there is any 'clockwork' model of the universe that is ultimately and finally the correct one. Our scientific theories . . . will always be capable of greater and greater refinement, but I feel sure they will always prove imperfect. It is safer, I think, to have faith in the living force that makes this improvement always possible."
God Does Have a Purpose
God's original purpose was for planet Earth to be inhabited by righteous, perfect humans. The prophet Isaiah wrote: "This is what Jehovah has said, the Creator of the heavens, He the true God, the Former of the earth and the Maker of it, He the One who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited."—Isaiah 45:18.
Rather than populate the earth through the direct creation of individual humans, God purposed to fill the earth by means of procreation by humans. When Adam and Eve rebelled against God, this did not thwart his original purpose, but it did cause a necessary adjustment of some details in order for his purpose regarding humans and the earth to be fulfilled.
For about the first 6,000 years of this period, God has allowed mankind to operate independently of his direct guidance. That is what our original parents chose of their own free will. (Genesis 3:17-19; Deuteronomy 32:4, 5) This allowance of independence from God's guidance and the subsequent rule by humans instead of by God would show up man's inability to direct his own steps and his inability to govern his fellowmen successfully.
Jehovah, of course, had known this outcome in advance. He inspired Bible penmen to put it into words. For example, the prophet Jeremiah wrote: "I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step."—Jeremiah 10:23.
The wise man Solomon commented on the disastrous results that follow when humans attempt to dominate their fellows, as they have over the centuries. "All this I have seen, and there was an applying of my heart to every work that has been done under the sun, during the time that man has dominated man to his injury."—Ecclesiastes 8:9.
However, far from "sitting back as a spectator while mankind wrestles with the puzzle," Almighty God has had good reason for allowing the passage of these thousands of years without intervening directly in the lives of the majority of mankind.

Answer 7

Nope...It has been prophesied that the world will get very bad before the second coming of Christ. Things will not get better I think till after the end of the tribulation. Then Christ will rule for 1000 years.

Answer 8

I believe God will return when it pleases God, we will not know nor can anyone predict. The condition of the earth and any other conditions do not decide the actions of God

Answer 9

He already has saved us. It is not ignoring the problem to give us a choice. It is up to us.

I like to work on being a part of the solution, not part of the spiraling problem.

Answer 10

God gave us brains so that we could work on these kinds of problems.
