Ordinarily it is humid, but this high temperature seems to have mad it a lot less so and even almost comfortable during the day with everything closed and using a fan or two. I appreciate anyone sending heart to me, for it is the Way. You may have mine there also. God bless you always...j
i have lived in many places and gotten to know the weather patterns well enough to form my own views. but have you noticed the Weather Patterns are more off this year than normal? where i live it's been dry dry dry desert for past 9 years but this year it has rained almost 60 total days which is way above the average of 10. in fact, most moisture and water typically come from snowfall. but we've already had 20 inches just from this new Pattern of rain.

i said that to point out
Luke 21:25
“And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves,

the Sea and Waves are quite restless as we participate in this discussion.

Wow that's something, what area are you in? I hope we get a surprise like that in SoCal, only fires and drought here happening within the last 10-20 yrs. I remember we used to have the 4 seasons, every Christmas it would be raining when we went to visit family.

I agree: humidity with high heat is intolerable! Coastal living seems to help with that :)

I wonder if you freeze water to drink? When it gets very hot here, I have two of these:

They hold a liter of water, and when frozen, the ice remains for many hours to keep your water
refreshingly cold. I fill them to abut 800 ml and refill to refreeze as soon as one is empty :)


There is a little space when frozen to add water to start the melting process so you can drink right away ;)

Do you use tap water there or bottled? Here I know a gal whose husband works at the Water Dept and she says they put chemicals in it and they don't drink it.

I used to buy purified water in those large jugs and had a cistern for dispensing,
but
gave that up. They used to deliver right to my door! I can't find a suitable
picture to show you what it looked like :giggle: Oh! I found something similar :D

I am not sure how much water each jug held, though. But it was room temperature ;)
Now I just freeze tap water, or drink cold water from the tap. Our water quality is very good :)

The sea here is over 30 C in many places close to shore and just under 30 C generally. This is unheard of. There should be more flooding come the first atual cold fromts along the eastern shores of Spain.
.Yes, I have been noticing the erratic weather changes in both hemispheres. Droughts are in both also. The Rhine River has become partially unnavigable, that is certain ships and barges must limit their loads in order to use it.
The summer nights here on the coast of Spain have become quite warm with many nights in the low to upper 80's F.
The rains are appearing in many places, but out of season.
We were taught in the 1950's that we should be careful with our use of water since a lot of it, most of it, was from out of the state. I lived in Long Beach Calif.
Only someone who is immune to being concerned will say the weather patters are not changing or that this is a repeat of wether in the past.
Oh! No ac here, and the triple digit weather has been exstended in the forecast, at least for today and tomorrow. I do ddddthank all for their prayers and care. God bless all in Jesus Yeshua, Who I believe will return very soon, but still some tribulation to experience first. May all be strong in His Light, amen.

Great minds! Lol. I freeze my bottled water and then keep itin the door of the fridge. II do drink it so, and the ice , so far, lasts until the last drink.
It is important for all, young, in between and us ancients to keep hydraqted in good weather let alone these heat waves. Praise Yah, amen

When someone from the Water Dept won't drink tap water, I won't drink it either, lol. It's a small but added expense buying water I don't even want to figure out. I can't imagine Canada ever having drought probs like here, thx for the info😄

My containers are 5 l. and I have some 1 L for outings in this heat. I refill the 1 L's, freeze them and place them in the door of my fridge.
Plastic containers have an expiration date. This is because they actually do deteriorate and we can consume nano particles of plastic... Please correct me if I am wrong, and I would like to be.

I agree mankind has not been the best steward of the earth. But it is a narrow assumption to state that mankind has caused the global warming.
When you pull back the curtain on those promoting this quote unquote emergency deceleration, you will find those who seek power, money, and control. Those who have the largest carbon footprint who don't for a minute believe what they promote. It's a worldwide scam perpetrated by those in power and directed by the god of this world.
The world has ended at least three times in the last 50 years, and yet we keep inhaling their rhetoric. They sanction and isolate all the scientists who deny global warming and with large grants and funds financially support those to perpetrate the lie, money talks, just not honestly.
Don't listen what they say ...watch what they do. Get behind the scenes and do a deep dive, pull back the curtain and learn the truth.

Like I said we can do better, but don't let them control your thinking. It is the height of arrogancy to think that anything mankind does to this earth will alter Gods timetable.
Ayyymen, Fascists always try to convince the population they wish to control of an existential crisis in order to justify the emergency power grab. Of course, neither the emergency nor the grab ever go away.

I did not post the op in order to stimulate a political debate. If any of the political commentarry here is somehow obliquely relating to my post it is way off base.

Only God will destroy this earth and only on His appointed day. Again our Father foretold all that eh earth would lie polluted under its inhabitants for the fruit of their doing. Does anyone deny this is true today? If so that particular anyone is deaf daub and blind to the Word.

See https://christianchat.com/threads/not-quite-yet.206874/post-4902160 from out sister, Magenta.

PS Please can the political rhetoric for the proper thread, this thread is inspired by the Word an, the Holy Spirit.

If you don't want a political debate, it might be an idea not to make a political statement as below, in your OP:

however it is mankind who has caused the global warming that is made so obvious now.
This claim is highly politicised and unproven.

What you quote as political is a direct reference to what is written in the Word. The earth lies polluted under itss inhabitants for the fruit of their doing.

This same prophecy is repeated three times by different prophets in the Word. As for politics, I am and alwways will be a monarchist with all the family of God that recognize Jesus Yeshua as our King, and this is etrnal so it is not , in my understanding, political in any manner for once the Kingdodm is established after we are all gathered to our King there will not be any form of opposiciton,and this will be after our Lord returns not now, and not with any political views from this age.

The earth is polluted under transgression. Sin against God. That's what scripture indicates.

It isn't polluted by the mere existence of human beings upon it. Climate Change hoaxers assert that too many
humans are taking too many resources, creating so much pollution and with CO2, humans are responsible for
destroying the planet.


God didn't make an earth that is not capable of supporting it's inhabitants. He commanded us to fill the earth and subdue it.
The biblical model and the political model are 2 different narratives.

Yes that is a problem the plastic, but we do go through water fast. The thing I was curious about and looked up is how good the water is at the store I usually go to. It said their water is basically tap put through a filter. So I do have some water filters for a pitcher that I'm also going to use also (probably better or the same as bottled water).
I also stumbled across information that most of the coffee we drink anywhere has pesticide and/or fungus. Yep that includes famous brands. So now we have to buy only organic coffee??

Global warming is simply the expression utilized referring to the melt down of glaciers around the world, the two polar thaws, the average temperature rises in both hemispheres, the ensuing droughts with rivers drying up and even disappearing, , wild fires erupting everywhere, and the great losses of crops and livestock world wide..

Pushing 880, I do not recall reading of this type of activity on a global scale nor do I recall such occurring in my brief time here..

Although I am legally blind, I do see what is going on in my own life time. You are allowed to use your vocabulary and word selections, and I belie I am allowed the same.

I think Christians and Scientists are running pretty much neck and neck though Science may have the upper hand as they are WILLING to revise as they go along and everyone follows, IN COMPARISON to Christians that is.

Christians study the WORDS OF GOD
Scientists study the WORKS OF GOD

Doesn't matter if the Scientist believes in GOD or NOT as everything 'that is', is a spoken law of God. But it's a LAW none the less. They can't make it quit being a law because they don't believe in God. They are probably more objective.

They say the big bang we know God spoke. They show it slowing progressing, we hear God speaking and bringing it all together.

Look at how HE speaks to the creation of the earth IT WAS A PROCESS. FROM HIS OWN WORDS


Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
Job 38:9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
Job 38:10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
Job 38:11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
Job 38:12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;

Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
Job 38:14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
Job 38:15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

Job 38:16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
Job 38:17 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
Job 38:18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
Job 38:19 Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
Job 38:20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
Job 38:21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?


Job 38:22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
Job 38:23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
Job 38:24 By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

Job 38:25 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
Job 38:26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
Job 38:27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
Job 38:28 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

Job 38:29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
Job 38:30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
Job 38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
Job 38:32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
Job 38:33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
Job 38:34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
Job 38:35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are?

Job 38:36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
Job 38:37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,
Job 38:38 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
Job 38:39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
Job 38:40 When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
Job 38:41 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.


Everything that is, every process HAD TO BE SPOKEN. It has to be a LAW. Even the 'disorder' is ordered by GOD.

I myself, don't believe that the EARTH and the universe COULD APPEAR to be millions of years old, IF IN FACT they were not because THAT would make God the author of CONFUSION which HE SAYS HE IS NOT.

I believe HIM. He gives us knowledge and wisdom and eyes to see and ears to hear and there is no deception in HIM. We take that by faith until the HOLY SPIRIT comes along and says 'check this out' AND if we are not all proud and stuck we 'LISTEN' and FOLLOW and He leads us unto all truth.

There is my belief. Millions of years old.

Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars
Job 38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
Job 38:32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
Job 38:33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?



Revelation 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or
who laid the corner stone thereof;



Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?





There is lots written that is never 'seen' or understood, but we know that doesn't mean it isn't there. Doesn't God tell us from the very beginning?


Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

HOW COULD IT BE JUST SITTING THERE in the darkness, if it hadn't been created yet?

the other possibility would be GOD saying something like 'IN darkness and CHAOS all null and void I create the earth and the seas' OR WHAT EVER WORDS TO THAT EFFECT or in that direction or something along those lines

of which I personally HAVE NO CLUE nor any wish whatsoever to put any words into the mouth of GOD, to be clear.

And we have to remember the prince of this world cometh...and the beast is rising up from the sea...and THEY don't care, so they are just using 'climate change' as a way to TAX us out of independence and bring about the beast. Knowledge running to and fro... would be knowledge of the dragon... but we shouldn't worry as FIRE is coming to cleanse the earth and we have the Lords Day for clean up.

Nope. Same droughts in 1417 , 1473, 1616, 1630, 1654 and 1666. Don't drink the anthropogenic CC Klaus Schwab/WEF/NWO koolaide. It's just another world government power-grab.

i have lived in many places and gotten to know the weather patterns well enough to form my own views. but have you noticed the Weather Patterns are more off this year than normal? where i live it's been dry dry dry desert for past 9 years but this year it has rained almost 60 total days which is way above the average of 10. in fact, most moisture and water typically come from snowfall. but we've already had 20 inches just from this new Pattern of rain.

i said that to point out

Atmospheric river phenomenon. If it hits as bad as historical records indicate....look out.
