HOW TODAY'S CLIMATE CRISIS HAVE NOT HAPPENED HAD WE OBEYED GOD'S TRUE DECREE IN THE BIBLE!26/4/2022
By : E.L. Victorino C. Geonanga
Did you know that this Climate change crisis we're facing right now should not have happened if we've learned and followed God's decree in the Bible long ago? Unknown to many, God has a law in the Bible about preserving and taking care of our natural resources. The late Teacher Erano M. Evangelista had shared this knowledge in his Bible revelations on the website www.thename.ph. To understand this better, let us read God’s law in Leviticus 25, verses 1 to 7. As written in: "The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai, "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a Sabbath to the Lord. For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of Sabbath rest, a Sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards. Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest. Whatever the land yields during the Sabbath year will be food for you - for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, as well as for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten." Leviticus 25, verses 1 to 7. (NIV) As the passage reads: "The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai,"- God spoke about this decree to Moses: To reread the passage: "For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of Sabbath rest, a Sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards." We can read that just as God commanded man not to work but only rest on the seventh day; He also commanded man not to gather crops on the seventh year so that the land could rest and replenish itself. Here God implies that just as a man can recharge his body by resting, so does the land, which means we should not abuse our environment! We can understand that the observation of God's Sabbath has a significant impact on ourselves and the whole planet. Giving a decree about a Sabbath for the land means that God did not fail to remind us how to take care of our environment. Look at what happened to our world when we did not observe God's decree about the Sabbath of the land. We abused its resources and did not give it rest. The abuse made to the environment had resulted in what we now experience as "global warming." Therefore, if we are experiencing deadly storms, tsunamis, earthquakes, and many other weather disturbances that take so many lives and destroy numerous homes and livelihoods of families worldwide, we could only blame ourselves and not God. Now that we know God’s decree about the seventh-year Sabbath rest for the land, we should let our world leaders and concerned environmental organizations discuss how this information can help save our future from this worsening climate change crisis. You might ask, how come we did not know of this vital decree before? Answer: These so-called religions and priests taught humankind their made-up teachings about God. They did not teach the truth about Jesus and God’s actual name in the Bible. The false information they preached about God and His laws led us to live under God’s curse.

This text is derived from notes taken during a Bible study session led by the late Teacher Erano Evangelista, associated with the "The Name of God" initiative at thename.ph. During one of these sessions, Teacher Evangelista brought our attention to an astonishing event recorded in the Bible, coinciding with the day of Jesus' crucifixion—an event that is seldom addressed or discussed by mainstream Churches. What is this event? Consider the passage from Matthew 27:50-53: "And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus' resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people." Matthew 27:50-53 NIV This passage vividly describes a moment when "the earth shook, the rocks split, and the tombs broke open," leading to many deceased holy individuals being resurrected. This profound and eerie occurrence transpired at the moment of Jesus' death. Why does this significant event not receive more attention in the Church's propagated Holy Week narratives? Moreover, why is there no historical record of such a world-altering event? It is indeed peculiar that this event, where numerous deceased individuals returned to life and were seen by many, does not feature in historical accounts of that era. Equally puzzling is the absence of any reference to this event in the epistles of the apostles or in the Acts of the Apostles, where the focus is solely on Jesus' resurrection as a singular event. Teacher Evangelista offers a straightforward explanation: Jesus did not resurrect from the dead. He contends that the apostles made up the story of Jesus' resurrection in order to deceive people and hide the real causes of God's abandoning Jesus to a cruel fate. Some Christian apologists and preachers might argue that the apostles' willingness to face martyrdom for their faith in Jesus lends credibility to their accounts. However, Teacher Evangelista challenges this notion by comparing it to the conviction of suicide bombers and certain Asian monks who self-immolate for their beliefs, suggesting that martyrdom alone is not a reliable indicator of the truthfulness of one's faith. To explore this Bible revelation further, please read the following article, tap here: https://thetruenameofgod.com/part-2-the-true-mission-of-jesus.html This article is not to promote a new religion or faith but only to share God's true message in the Bible about the apostles lying about Jesus. In the video shared above and in one of the articles in www.thename.ph entitled THE REAL JESUS THAT GOD WANTS THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW we may learn how Jesus willfully violated God's Sabbath law and encouraged his followers not to follow the said law.
As a result of following Jesus' teachings about the Sabbath, humankind suffered because they can no longer enjoy God's blessing of rest. Aside from man, our planet also suffered because people forgot God's law about the Sabbath of the land (Leviticus 25:1 to 7) where people are commanded to let the land rest and not do farming for a year so that the land can recharge or rejuvenate itself. Had humankind followed such law, we would have understood the value of taking care of our environment and not abuse our natural resources. We would not be experiencing this destructive calamities brought about by today's climate change crisis. May I also share another of the earlier Bible revelations from God to Maestro Evangelista's about how Jesus willfully desecrated God's law about the Sabbath day. Let us begin by reading the event with Jesus in Mark 2: 23-26 23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. 24 The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?” 25 He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26 In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.” Mark 2:23-26 NIV Here we can read that Jesus was accused by the Pharisees about how he and his disciples were doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath. In God's law about the Sabbath, He commanded His people to not do ANY work but only to take a full day's rest (Deut.5:12-14, Exo.31:12-17) and God even reiterated in His commandment that by resting on the Sabbath day, His people will be like honoring Him on how He too rested after His creation. If we also use our understanding about God's commandment regarding the Sabbath, Maestro Evangelista said, God made that law for our benefit because we can be able to make our bodies rest and rejuvenate itself after six days of work. Going back to the accusation of the Pharisees about disregarding the Sabbath, Jesus answered them by citing the scriptures about an event that happened during the time of David, when he and his companions, when they were hungry, ate of the consecrated bread in the temple of God, the kind of bread which was only meant to be ate by priests. Our beloved late Maestro Evangelista also said that we should keep in mind too, that the accusation of the Pharisees was about Jesus and his companions doing what was unlawful on the Sabbath day. It is not about David's violation. Let us read what happened during David's time and discover for ourselves if David too, violated the Sabbath day. "1 David went to Nob, to Ahimelek the priest. Ahimelek trembled when he met him, and asked, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?” 2 David answered Ahimelek the priest, “The king sent me on a mission and said to me, ‘No one is to know anything about the mission I am sending you on.’ As for my men, I have told them to meet me at a certain place. 3 Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever you can find.” 4 But the priest answered David, “I don’t have any ordinary bread on hand; however, there is some consecrated bread here—provided the men have kept themselves from women.” 5 David replied, “Indeed women have been kept from us, as usual whenever I set out. The men’s bodies are holy even on missions that are not holy. How much more so today!” 6 So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence that had been removed from before the LORD and replaced by hot bread on the day it was taken away." 1 Samuel 21:1-6 NIV As we can read, we can discover some errors in Jesus' citation of this event. First- the priest was not Abiathar as Jesus said, it was Ahimelek Second- Jesus was wrong in saying that only priests can eat the 'sacred' bread. The consecrated bread can be shared by the priests to other men provided the men kept themselves from women. Third and most important- David and his men were not violating the Sabbath day. Jesus cited an event which has nothing to do at all with the Sabbath day. It is clear that Jesus and his disciples committed what is forbidden on the Sabbath day. We can also see how Jesus was misdirecting the topic about the Sabbath. Why don't we read again Mark 2, this time in verses 27 to 28 and see what Jesus said to the Pharisees in addition about the Sabbath Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” Mark 2:27-28 NIV Here Jesus claims that he is also the Lord of the Sabbath. Though God indeed made Sabbath for man's benefit, it is not right for Jesus to say that he is Lord of the Sabbath because God did not give him any authority about it. Let us read what God said about the significance of the Sabbath day 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a LASTING covenant. 17 It will be a sign between me and the Israelites FOREVER, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’ Exodus 31:16-17 NIV God stated that the observance of the Sabbath is a LASTING covenant between Him and His people. God will not change it. For Jesus to say that God made him Lord of the sabbath, Jesus was truly committing blasphemy. Question: Weren't Jesus and his disciples simply plucking grain for food during the Sabbath? Let us read an event during the time of Moses and see how God wanted the law about the Sabbath be implemented. "32 While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, 34 and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. 35 Then the LORD said to Moses, “The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.” 36 So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses." Numbers 15:32-36 NIV God Himself, not Moses judged a man who was just gathering wood during the Sabbath day to be punished by death. That is how serious God was about the Sabbath. Jesus and his disciples could have done it on a different day but not on the Sabbath. Jesus has deliberately opposed God's law about the Sabbath and this is one of his wrongdoings why God's punishment of being flogged by men as written in 2 Samuel 7:12-14 occurred to him. May the readers be reminded that this is not about discrediting Jesus but rather revealing the real and true story regarding Jesus which the apostles of Jesus had hidden. This is not to promote a new religion or faith but only to share God’s true message in the Bible. REGARDING GENESIS 3 verse 15. Sharing my notes from what was taught by the late Teacher Evangelista (of the website thename.ph) during one of his Bible study sessions: This is about God's word to Satan in Genesis 3 verse 15. 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” Genesis 3:15 New International Version. God said that Satan can "strike the heel" of the descendant of Adam and Eve. This means Satan can also deceive the descendant of Adam and Eve. The mere fact that God gave Satan the capability to test or deceive the descendant of Adam and Eve, shows that the chosen one is just a man, prone to being deceived and capable of committing wrong but also has the power of overcoming it. The question is, who is the descendant of Adam who was destined to crush Satan or the serpent's head or overcome their deception but can also be deceived and can commit wrong? To learn the answer to the question, we must know first the real identity of the serpent in Genesis 3:15. Let us read Revelation 12:9 "The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him." Revelation 12:9 NIV “that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan,"- Confirmed. The serpent in Genesis 3:15 is none other than Satan. Now that we unmasked Satan's identity, we can now know who is the descendant of Adam and Eve that he needs to deceive. Let us read Luke 4:3. The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread." Luke 4:3 (NIV) Satan/Devil was challenging Jesus to turn the stone into bread. Therefore it is #Jesus who is the descendant of Adam and Eve. We thought, as we were made to believe by the Churches and religious preachers, that Jesus overcame Satan in this event in Luke chapter 4, however, we did not give attention to what was written in Luke 4:13. "When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time." Luke 4:13 (NIV) "he left him until an opportune time"-As we can read, the temptation did not end there. Satan or the Devil came back to Jesus at an opportune time. This is what religions did not teach us. What did Religions not tell us about Jesus? Aside from not telling us that Satan came back to deceive Jesus a second time. They also did not tell us that Jesus was capable of committing wrong. Let us read God's words in 2 Samuel 7:12-14 Be informed about the real word of God as to why He had sent Jesus: “When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. II Samuel 7:12 (NIV) The promise was given to David - a descendant will come from his bloodline. What would be the work of the descendant? “He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever...” II Samuel 7:13 (NIV) The first choice was King Solomon - a “real son” or descendant of David. King Solomon built the house with the Name of God. (1 Chronicles 22:9-13) What was the promise of God? “I will be his father, and he will be my son. WHEN HE DOES WRONG, I WILL PUNISH HIM WITH A ROD WIELDED BY MEN, WITH FLOGGINGS INFLICTED BY HUMAN HANDS – II Samuel 7:14 (NIV) “WHEN HE DOES WRONG” – the descendant of David would be punished. King Solomon was not punished by “the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men", (I kings 11:1-13, v.41-43). We do know that Jesus was punished in that manner. In the said verses: 2 Samuel 7:12-14 (NIV) – we can read that God speaks of a coming offspring of David and not a literal "son of God" as the religions preach. And in: You will be with child and give birth to a son and you are to give him the name Jesus He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David. Luke 1:31-32 (NIV) "will be called" – as you have read it, Jesus was only a son or a descendant of David not a real “son of God", he was just a man. “The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David.” – It is very clear; it is David that Jesus was descended from - meaning that he (Jesus) is not a real Son of God as the religions had preached. Was Jesus, the descendant of King David punished by the rod and floggings of men? All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!" Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified. Matthew 27:25-26 (NIV) Indeed, Jesus was flogged by men, as God stated in His prophecy in 2 Samuel 7:12-14 - “I will be his father, and he will be my son. WHEN HE DOES WRONG, I WILL PUNISH HIM WITH A ROD WIELDED BY MEN, WITH FLOGGINGS INFLICTED BY HUMAN HANDS." It is time to open OUR EYES and UNDERSTAND what God clearly said--Did God say in His prophecy that the descendant of David (who is Jesus) - will be flogged by men for the sins of mankind or for his (Jesus) own wrongdoing? Are the religions and the Apostles right in preaching that Jesus was flogged for our sins when we read God’s own words in 2 Samuel 7:12-14? No, because God clearly said that such floggings will happen to David’s descendant (Jesus) once he commits wrong. Since Jesus was punished with the floggings of men because of him committing wrong, it means Satan was able to deceive him just like what happened to Adam and Eve. Jesus’ brutal and humiliating death is the undeniable proof that he failed in his mission and not for mankind’s salvation. This also explains why the world is under all this suffering as all this time, we have been made by churches and religions to revere and worship a man punished by God with the floggings of men because of his (Jesus) wrongdoing.
