First of all, it is not our world. We may indeed inhabit it, but it does not belong to us. Secondly, nature herself has a voice and is expressing herself most clearly. Nature is being allowed to bring its own judgment on a world that has rejected righteousness and the proper way to live.
There is a verse that speaks of the whole of creation being in pain and like a woman in labour, due to the perversion, violence, and abuses of mankind and his total rejection of the Creator's laws; which laws are there for the good of mankind.
What we are seeing and hearing is God's voice in creation giving fair warning to the human population to turn to their Creator, or suffer the consequences.
The more we laugh and sneer at truth, the more severe the judgments that will follow. What we call 'The End of Days', is that much closer than we may think.
One of the signs of this, (which the Bible tells us will be visible and felt around the whole world), will be the 'distress of nations'.
This week the headlines in the UK said that 60% of people here are suffering real life-changing distress following the last three years of troubles around the globe, including the enforced 'lockdowns' and the deliberately escalated war in the Ukraine. Distress is rampant across the nations with failing economies, diseases and bio weapons, violence and evil at an unprecedented level, worrying weather extremities, and no voice of hope being offered anywhere.
See what the Bible says of 2022:
'And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth there shall be distress of nations, with perplexity [the inability to deal with or understand things]; the sea and the waves roaring; people's hearts failing them out of fear, and at looking at those things which are coming upon the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken [the order of things above and all around us shall be shaken].
And then shall they see the Son of man [Jesus Christ the Son of God] coming down in a cloud with power and great glory.
And when these things begin to happen, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption [the day of your deliverance and freedom] draws near.' (Luke 21:25-28)
'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved [delivered].' (Romans 10:9; Acts 16:31)
