Can Technology Control Our Weather?

Good afternoon on this beautiful
Sabbath day. The weather has been more cooperative lately, although it's been, I was going to say dead humid. I do not think that's a term, but it's been extremely humid. And so when I go out and walk in the morning, we are just drenched when we get back. And that's even the temperatures are 70, so. We are having the summer weather of the South, but for the past 6 months we've had some terrible weather, as you're well aware of weather that's in some ways unexplainable in its severity. Who or what is causing our weather to go haywire. Does
God allow
Satan to manipulate the weather? Can mankind manipulate the weather? According to Mike Adams of Natural News in the January 13th, 2011 article entitled Weather Control Is No Myth, Scientists Engineer the Thunderstorms over Abu Dhabi. Quote Discussions of weather control technology used to be limited to the hushed
gossip of conspiracy theorists, but it turns out that conspiracy theorists were right again. Today in Abu Dhabi, scientists have successfully manipulated entire weather systems, causing up to 50 downpours of rain across the Al Ain River, I mean the region, the desert nation over the last year. Today we know that weather control technology works. It's up and running right now in Abu Dhabi, and there is little question that control controlling the weather has many applications, including military and economic applications. According to the Department of Energy, the US Department of Energy Environmental Sciences Division ER 74, regarding their 2004 Triophosphere aerosol program. They write much of the science that had been planned for the riposphere aerosol program will in the future be conducted under the Department of Energy's atmospheric Science program, which begin beginning in fiscal year 2005, will focus on radiative forcing of climate change by atmospheric aerosols. Close. Now it's difficult to believe that human scientists can control the weather, but it is actually quite well known. According to Wikipedia, the globalist controlled progressive online encyclopedia. For the 2008 Olympics, China had 30 airplanes, 4000 rocket launchers, and 7000 anti-aircraft guns to stop the rain. Each system would shoot various chemicals into any threatening clouds to shrink raindrops before they reached the stadium. Chinese research into weather control dates back to 1958. The United States has weather altering technology called HARP, and Russia has weather changing EMP and wave technology called SAAR. It's interesting because Tesla, you know that the famous scientist from back around the turn of the 19th century, around 1909, actually discovered that technology. According to US William Cohen, Defense Secretary from 1997 to 2001, quote, scientists are engaging even in an echo type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves. Cohen revealed in 1997 that storms have been getting increasingly large, damaging, and deadly. Scientists have been able to control the weather for 36 years. And that was 1961. That he's referring to that's here in the United States. Altering the climate means scientists have to control wind, rain, and damaging storms. According to the new, the news story, first half of 2011 leaves an astonishing legacy by Chris Dulce, a meteorologist at the Weather Channel. On July 5, 2011, he wrote, Quote, The events that have occurred during the first half of the year have been astonishing. According to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, and we know that as NOAA, NOAA, we've already seen $8 billion weather disasters since January. This is an unbelievable number of events of this magnitude crammed into just 6 months. Continuing on with the quote for perspective, the most, the most billion dollar weather disasters recorded in one full year since 1980 is 9 in 2008, and this was from a wide variety of weather events including tornadoes, floods, droughts, wildfires, and 3 hurricanes. With half the half the year and the peak of the hurricane season ahead of us, it's not out of the question that this undesirable record could be reached in 2011. Many of the areas that are being hit the hardest with these repeated storms just so happen to be areas that the United Nations has declared off limits to human habitation. According to the environmentalists, 50% of the United States is being, is beginning to be set off limits to human activity. We're seeing more and more articles of that about that all the time. The elite under cover of the UN treaties and agendas are setting up biodiversity areas, and these huge tracts of land will immediately begin the process of rewilding, that is letting the land go back to the wild state it was 400 years ago. So the question remains who is controlling the weather. What does the Bible tell us? Satan has the power to unleash forces of nature on human beings if God allows him to. And as you recall, the book of Job records an actual conversation between God and Satan, where Satan accuses God of unfairly. Putting a protective hedge around righteous Job. And there in Job 1 and it says in verse beginning in verse 7, and the Lord said to Satan, From where do you come? So Satan answered the Lord and said, From going to and fro on the earth and from walking back and forth on it. And then the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man who one who fears God and shuns evil. So Satan answered the Lord and said, Does Job fear God for nothing? Have you not made a hedge around him, around his household, around all that is on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands and his position possessions have increased in the land. But now stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse you to your face. In verse 12, the Lord said to Satan, Behold all that he has is in your power. Only do not lay a hand on his person. So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and skipping down to verse 18, while he, that is one of Job's servants, was still speaking, another also came and said, Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house. And suddenly a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to tell you. So the final destruction came as a result of a great wind that killed Job's children, and that wind came as a result of the power that God allowed Satan to have. This shows that sometimes God gives Satan limited control over the weather, and there are times when Satan has reason to send violent weather on humanity. Revelation 12 verse 12 suggests that there is an urgent reason that Satan has to bring calamity on mankind because he has just a short time left to be
God of this world. It says there in Revelation 12 verse 12, Therefore, therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, the sea, for the devil has come down to you, having great wrath because he knows that his time is short. But the most important truth that emerges from Job's test and witness is that God is sovereign over all things. And he is on the throne, and the angels do his will and report to him, and even Satan can do nothing to God's people without God's permission. The the Almighty is one of the key names for God in the book of Job. It is used 31 times, and from that the onset, the writer reminds us that no matter what happens in
this world and in our lives, God is on the throne and has everything under control. And another important truth seen in Job's test and witness is that Satan can touch God's people only with God's permission. God uses it for the for their good and His glory. God is at work in our lives to make us more like
Jesus Christ, and he can use even the attacks of the devil to perfect us. And when you are walking in the path of obedience and you find yourself in a severe trial, remind yourself that nothing can happen to you outside
God's will. Well Satan tried to manipulate God to afflict to afflict Job, and Satan said to God, stretch out your hand and touch all that he has. But God refused to let Satan dictate the terms. Therefore, he allowed Satan to do it. He said all that he has is in your power. Only do not lay a hand on his person. What we know is that we know that God created the physical elements and laws and that He has the power to control and change the weather, and He is sovereign over everything, but it fit into God's sovereign plan for the salvation of man for God to allow Satan to test, to test Job. which in turn would fine tune Job's character to be more to be more useful for God's kingdom. God has used this illustration ever since to show His sovereignty to His people. Today we are experiencing upset weather unlike anything we have seen before, and people are beginning to say that these storms are of biblical proportion. Because many realize that they are unusual and extraordinary in a very negative way. But as we see in the story of Satan's accusations and attacks against Job, God sometimes allows Satan to disrupt the weather. Satan is the God of this world, and he influences people to misuse technologies that God has made possible through his design of the human brain to have the capability to invent tremendous things. And that and that may be, and that may be the cause with manipulating the weather today. Ultimately, God is the one who controls the weather. In the way of biblical imagery in
Job 38:22, God calls for the wind and hail from his storehouse. Seasons are marked by regular weather patterns that shape the traditional cycles of planting and harvesting and grazing and shearing. And worrying and celebrating, but weather is also full of surprises that break the rules, drought being the most dreaded of these surprises. The rhythm of creation, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night is a gift from the God of order. The Bible also records the other supernatural circumstances used frequently throughout history regarding the weather, such as God destroying the ships of Tarshish Tarshish with an east wind. And is sending a great storm to route the Philistine armies preparing for battle against the Israelites. A very realistic description of God's control of the weather is found in Psalm 107. Where it says those who go down to the sea in ships who do business on great waters, they see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep, for he commands and raises the stormy wind which lifts up the waves of the sea. He calms the storm so that its waves are still. Now just before angry and defiant mankind totally destroys the earth and its inhabitants. Jesus Christ, who has controlled the events on earth under the direction of God the Father, will return. And notice what Jesus revealed to the apostle John in a vision about the end time in Revelation 11 verses 15 to 18. Then the 7th angel sounded, and there were loud voices in heaven saying, The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of our Lord and of Jesus and of His Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever. And the 24 elders who sat before God on their thrones fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying, We give you thanks, O Lord God Almighty, the one who is and the one who was and the one and who is to come. Because you have taken your great power and reigned. The nations were angry and your wrath has come and the time of the dead that they should be judged and that you should reward your servants, the prophets and the saints, and those who fear your names, small and great. And should destroy those who destroy the earth. God has total control and can and will at any time personally intervene to protect us and to assure that His plan for mankind is on schedule and will be completed. When Babylon is finally destroyed, the voice of a great multitude will cry out praises to God. Revelation 19 verse 6 says, and I heard, and as it were, the voice of a great multitude as the sound of mighty thundering sang Hallelujah, for the Lord God omnipotent reigns. So the answer to the question is that God ultimately controls the weather, but there are times when it suits his purpose to allow Satan himself or through human technologies to manipulate the weather, regardless of who is involved in this manipulation, the lesson for us is that bad weather is a warning that God is not pleased with sinful human attitudes and activities. Our responsibility in this is to ask ourselves if there is anything we are thinking or doing that may contribute to the curse of bad weather, and then we must change. And if we find something in our life that does not give a good witness of God's life. We should change it.
