We, of course, are living in the very last days of human existence! That reality is reflected in the corruption all around us, the evil imaginations that dredge up all kinds of wickedness and a world filled with violence. These are the same conditions that existed before the flood destroyed the world that then was!
Now the earth is a living organism, and it becomes defiled by the abominations of the people who live on it. Note God's instruction to Moses thus: "And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the Lord your God. After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein you dwelt, shall you not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you, shall you not do: neither shall you walk in their ordinances(Lev.18:1-3). Then God proceeded to warn the children of Israel against sexual perversions, homosexuality, bestiality and false religious worship.
The narrative continues: "Defile not yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled, which I cast out before you: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomits out its inhabitants" (Lev. 18:24-25).
Today, this same horrifying state of defilement is every where to be seen. Most western countries have legalised homosexuality, in all its forms, including marriage. Women have been given the right to kill their unborn babies, couples living together have been elevated to the same status as marriage and incest is endemic among us.
The prophet Isiah was inspired to write: "For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth"(Is.28:22). The narrative continues: "Thou shall be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquakes, and with great noise, and with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire"(Is.29:6).
Last year the devouring fire destroyed thousands of homes in California, killing hundreds of people. This year in Australia, we witness a similar disaster. Who will be next, as the earth begins to vomit the wicked out of it?
To be continued.
