"a gleaming blue and white jewel." He described the Earth astronaut Edgar Mitchell as he gazed into the dark vastness of space.
God put special care in creating the planet and prepare it for human beings lived in it. No wonder that angels, to see it finished, you feel driven, "shouting in applause" (Job 38:7). The same thing happens to us as we explore this wonderful home. We were impressed by the large number of complex ecosystems and natural processes that make life possible. For example, green plants use water, light and carbon dioxide to make food. Through this process, releasing oxygen into the atmosphere we breathe then.
But who was responsible for looking after the Earth? The Bible reveals that God has entrusted the task to man (Genesis 1:28, 2:15). However, to preserve the ecological balance, it was necessary for men to love their home land and wanted to keep it in perfect condition. But they had freedom of choice, so there was the possibility of abusing the planet and decide to squander their resources. And that is precisely what has happened. Of course, the results of such negligence and greed have been disastrous.
Here are some :
1) deforestation is reducing the planet's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide, which helps to create conditions more extreme weather , 2) indiscriminate use of pesticides destroys entire populations of insects that perform as essential as the pollination of crops, 3) overfishing and pollution are decimating the fish in the rivers and seas, 4) over-exploitation natural resource reserves are leaving to future generations, and even believes that global warming is accelerating. According to some environmentalists, the retreat of glaciers and the fragmentation of icebergs in the polar regions confirm that warming.
Seeing the increase in natural disasters, some would say that the planet is fighting back, or even revenge-of human beings. The truth is that the earth belongs to God, and he allowed us to live in it without giving anything in return (Genesis 1:26-29). However, the global situation shows that many people have no interest in caring for this beautiful home. They are too busy with their selfish ambitions and projects. Since then, have proved a dismal tenants. As predicted in Revelation (Apocalypse) 11:18, "are ruining the earth."
But the Bible foretells that Jehovah, the Creator of all the planet's vital ecosystems, will "leave" these tenants (Zephaniah 1:14, Revelation 19:11-15). Before irreversible damage, the almighty God will intervene in the situation, even before what may believe (Matthew 24:44). Undoubtedly, only God can save our planet.
