I had a camp on the St. John's River in Florida near Salt Springs Florida USA. I chose this spot because very few people were there. I was in the 'wetland mitigation business' for 3 decades. Of all the natural places I went the Lake George section of the St. John's River plus 30 kilometers upstream/downstream was the largest most virgin untouched forests and wetlands that I ever visited in the SE USA or in the world for that matter excluding Africa and the Amazon. There were several natural springs flowing over 30 million gallons of fresh water per day within 5 miles of my camp including many smaller springs. It was not unusual to see ~50 year old alligators 12 to 13 feet long and large snapping turtles over 100 years old. Lake George was about 10 kilometers wide and 28 kilometers long and the St. Johns feeding in and out was 1 mile wide. Very pristine and primitive. It was one place that had very few scars left by man.
- Man is often responsible!

- And he always reacts when it is late or too late!

- Think about Amazon!

- In Africa for example, there were supposed to build a green to fight against the growing desert!

- They didn’t do a lot!

- They did something in Senegal!

- It is better than anything!

- But it is nothing compared to what should be done!

- Sometimes there are some individual projects!

- But it is not enough!

- I remember a project to create a forest in Egypt by using the water used in the city!

- But it is nothing compared to what should be done!

Happy Holidays JLG ! To you and yours.
The reasons for what is done and what isn't done can probably be tracked to money and/or gain.
Have a blessed day.

- same for you!

-You are completely right!

- But it tells a lot about man's limitations despite his incredible abilities!

- Under GOD's governance it would be so different!

- Man's abilities wouldn't be wasted for nothing!

So do you believe:

A) The whole nation of Israel repents and returns to God in the end...

OR

B) Only a remnant of Israel ( like Joshua, David, Malachi etc. ) Will be saved.

Don't forget that God clouded their vision and will later remove that vial so they can all see correctly.

Rom 11:25-26

25 For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and thus all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,
