“The relationship of mankind with nature must not be conducted with greed, manipulation and exploitation, but it must conserve the divine harmony that exists between creatures and Creation within the logic of respect and care, so it can be put to the service of our brothers, also of future generations,” the pope said...
Not the worst thing he’s ever said. I like that there are trees on both sides of the garden state pkwy and companies can’t legally dump toxins into local rivers and lakes.
But I think he and I are interpreting it a different way.
That would be the same God who created them male and female, not “undecided”. Just sayin’.
I was in 2nd grade for the first Earth Day. The teacher said that we’d be out of oil by the time I was 35, freezing to death in an ice age by the time I was 50, and all the animals would be gone by the time I died.
For the first 25 years or so, Earth Day meant something because the rivers and air were nasty in 1970 and getting worse. By 2000, the US had literally cleaned up its act.
The fact that the environmentalist watermelons overlook developing countries and keep their focus on the US is proof that Erf Day has lost its purpose. Just as this Pope has lost his purpose.
I had burgers for lunch, and a 3 meat pizza from Papa Johns to celebrate Earth Day. I thank the Lord for all the beautiful creatures He created for our use and pleasure.
Just in case anyone has missed the signs, the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble” is getting really, really close. What is done to the Earth during this period will convince all but the most wicked who is in charge of what and how much Man’s activities matter to the climate.
Revelation Chapter 12:
1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1193). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
Previous Bible commentators have taken this as a symbolic vision about Israel (Mary) giving birth to Jesus, and marking the start of the 3 1/2 year Great Tribulation.
However, since “knowledge had increased”, we can use star charting programs such as Stellarium to see that this could be a literal “great sign” in heaven.
The constellation “Virgo”, the Virgin, has always been identified with Mary the Mother of Jesus. The nine stars of Leo, the Lion (of Judah), form a “garland” above her head.
Jupiter has always been identified as the “King” star. It is striped (by His stripes we are healed) and has a large, red spot (they pierced His side).
Here is the sequence of events regarding the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Virgo, Leo, Mercury, Mars and Venus
Mon, 21 November 2016 = 20th of Cheshvan, 5777
Jupiter enters Virgo crossing line from Spica to Porrima
Sat, 28 January 2017 = 1st of Sh’vat, 5777
Jupiter retrograde motion begins inside Virgo. “Gestation” begins??
Sat, 10 June 2017 = 16th of Sivan, 5777
Jupiter prograde motion resumes inside Virgo
Thu, 17 August 2017 = 25th of Av, 5777
Total Solar eclipse across America (from Portland to Charleston)
Sun, 10 September 2017 = 19th of Elul, 5777
Jupiter crosses Heze — Spica line. Virgin gives birth? Conjunction Regulus and Mercury
Wed, 20 September 2017 = 29th of Elul, 5777
New Moon, Venus — Regulus conjunction
Sun, 24 September 2017 = 4th of Tishrei, 5778
Sun at Virgo’s shoulders (clothed), the Moon is at her feet, Mercury, Mars, Venus are added to Leo’s nine stars as Virgo’s 12-star ‘garland’
The great sign in the heaven is complete. This formation has not happened in the past 6000 years and won’t happen again for at least another 2000 years.
Luke 21
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
26 “men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1023). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Graphic says 23 September 2017, as it depends on where you say Virgo’s feet are. Besides, no one knows the day or the hour.
I don’t know for sure if Daniel’s 70th week has started. Sir Issac Newton’s calculation, which required Israel to be back in the land with control of Jerusalem (June 1967) worked out to September 2015. We don’t know if the Anti-Christ confirmed a seven year treaty back then, but it is possible. The colors of the Four Horsemen are White, Red, Black, and, while it is translated as “Pale”, the Greek can be translated as “Green”. These are the colors of the Islamic Nations that are going up against Israel.
The Revelation 12:1-2 Great Sign in the Heavens if September 23-24, 2017, so that would be two years into the Seventieth Week. The Revelation 12:3-4 sign is no where to be seen. However, there are reports of perturbations in the Cassini spacecraft orbit around Saturn, so the “great, fiery red dragon, may be out there as a brown dwarf, which would explain why the Vatican is operating an infrared telescope, called Project Lucifer, here in Arizona.
While there are folks who think that the “called out ones”, usually called the Church, will escape the entire Seventh Week, as I read it we are only offered escape from the final 3 1/2 years if we are counted as worthy, or just before the Anit-Christ is finally revealed, which ever comes first.
So we could very well be in the first half of the Tribulation, or Time of Jacobs Trouble. The thing with Bible Prophecy is that you only really know, for sure, after the event has happened.
So read your Bible and Pray! Do what the Holy Spirit leads you to do in this world, but don’t be too attached to it! Maranatha!
>>>>in St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday, marking Earth Day<<<<
why?
why “marking” a heathen blasphemous day?
why do that?
Man is the highest form of creature on earth that God has created. Man has evolved from the cave to our present circumstance. God created us to improve ourselves. If he did not intend for us to improve why did he give us superior intelligence? The changes that the Pope would make would eventually send us back to the cave. Maybe we will get run off the planet by snail darters.
Is Algore the one Pope Francis is talking about ?
What about the other eight planets, Popey? #allplanetsmatter.
-—Earth Day was the brainchild of U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin...-—
What is it with Wisconsin - isn’t Ryan from Wisconsin too? They must be putting something in the cheese that makes so many go RINO on us.
Only sane town there is Green Bay it seems.
Maybe Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews should spend the off season shaping up that state. Kuhn would be a good one to help as well.
