on weather MODIFICATION

 

JESUS admonishes:

Matthew 16:2-3

King James Version

2 He answered and said unto them, 

When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: 

for the sky is red.

3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: 

for the sky is red and lowering. 

O ye hypocrites, 

ye can discern the face of the sky; 

but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

Is man capable of modifying weather?

What is weather modification?

How far has man gone into it?

What are the long-term effects?

An idea could be gleaned from this video.

As born again, I only care to remind you of GOD's laws, and power.

Bear note, this is just ONE chapter from the Bible.

Testifying of GOD's power over weather.

Job 38:1-38

King James Version

38 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, 

and said,

2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words 

without knowledge?

3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; 

for I will demand of thee, 

and answer thou me.

4 Where wast thou 

when I laid the foundations of the earth? 

declare, if thou hast understanding.

5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, 

if thou knowest? 

or who hath stretched the line upon it?

6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? 

or who laid the corner stone thereof;

7 When the morning stars sang together, 

and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, 

when it brake forth, 

as if it had issued out of the womb?

9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, 

and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

10 And brake up for it my decreed place, 

and set bars and doors,

11 And said, 

Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: 

and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; 

and caused the dayspring to know his place;

13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, 

that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

14 It is turned as clay to the seal; 

and they stand as a garment.

15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, 

and the high arm shall be broken.

16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? 

or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

17 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? 

or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? 

declare if thou knowest it all.

19 Where is the way where light dwelleth? 

and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, 

and that thou shouldest know 

the paths to the house thereof?

21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? 

or because the number of thy days is great?

22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? 

or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, 

against the day of battle and war?

24 By what way is the light parted, 

which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

25 Who hath divided a watercourse 

for the overflowing of waters, 

or a way for the lightning of thunder;

26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; 

on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; 

and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

28 Hath the rain a father? 

or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

29 Out of whose womb came the ice? 

and the hoary frost of heaven, 

who hath gendered it?

30 The waters are hid as with a stone, 

and the face of the deep is frozen.

31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, 

or loose the bands of Orion?

32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? 

or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? 

canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, 

that abundance of waters may cover thee?

35 Canst thou send lightnings, 

that they may go and say unto thee, 

Here we are?

36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? 

or who hath given understanding to the heart?

37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? 

or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

38 When the dust groweth into hardness, 

and the clods cleave fast together?

Should we really be proud, ungrateful, and unthinking, tampering with the weather?

Here are more verses to right our thinking. 

GOD must have the last say.

Here's what prophet Jeremiah said, of the LORD:

Jeremiah 10:10

King James Version

10 But the Lord is the true God, 

he is the living God, 

and an everlasting king: 

at his wrath the earth shall tremble, 

and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

NATURAL light vs artificial light

 

John 1:5

King James Version

5 And the light shineth in darkness; 

and the darkness comprehended it not.

This post was triggered by a video I was watching early this morning.

It featured vertical farms, in comparison with traditional farms.

When that video mentioned LED (light-emitting diode) as source of light to make plants grow, somehow, it sent warning signals to my born again heart.

The main question became:

Would GOD approve of artificial light 

to make plants grow, 

when He gave us natural light?

Sure, we use mostly LED for lighting the world now.

Where before, man lived by nature, waking up to sunrise, and resting at sundown, the electric bulb changed our lifestyles, and work styles.

From incandescent, we turned to fluorescent.

And now, to the more expensive LEDs, which are touted to be more energy-efficient, and cost-efficient, for the long-term.

How far have we really gone from depending on GOD's natural lighting -- the sun, moon, stars -- to artificial lighting?

Why the need for artificial lighting?

Was that so we'd all work longer, and harder?

Or have more time to entertain ourselves?

First, we look into what the Bible say about LIGHT.

That's how a born again, like myself, would approach ALL research.

That we may base our human creations, respecting GOD's creation and commands first.

That we may see if our inventions are useful, compassionate, Biblical, or merely greed-driven, by folly, or vanity.

Genesis 1:1-5

King James Version

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; 

and darkness was upon the face of the deep. 

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, 

Let there be light: 

and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, 

that it was good: 

and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, 

and the darkness he called Night. 

And the evening and the morning were the first day.

John 1:1-5

King James Version

1 In the beginning was the Word, 

and the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; 

and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; 

and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; 

and the darkness comprehended it not.

Am I imagining it?

Or did the FIRST FIVE verses from Genesis and John just explained everything about LIGHT?

This is truly worthy of deep meditation.

That our creations don't deviate from GOD's creation.

And that we create, for compassion, and not for sheer profit.

That was one of the things my late father taught me.

To feed children, from honest gain.

In perfect consonance with what JESUS tells us:

Matthew 16:26

King James Version

26 For what is a man profited, 

if he shall gain the whole world, 

and lose his own soul? 

or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

That's a very good lesson for parents to teach children.

Especially the next generations are being manipulated into artificial intelligence.

What are the long-term effects of artificial light in our lives, and health?

Decades ago, I used to write on executive health, and did tons of research.

Along the way, I came upon a statement that full spectrum bulbs were better, in that it may mimic full spectrum light. 

Let's all look deeper into GOD's LIGHT, in place of artificial light.

Our ways are fallible.

The Creator's isn't.

What I can really tell you, for sure, is that when GOD made me born again three years ago, He created better heart, and knowledge in me.

Gone is ego.

Gone is greed.

Gone is vanity.

Let JESUS be our guide for everything.

He is the ONLY way back to GOD.

Back to the purity of Creation.

Back to the SOURCE.

Is having more light to light our lives, and industry, making us lose the real LIGHT we really need?

John 8:12

King James Version

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, 

saying, 

I am the light of the world: 

he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, 

but shall have the light of life.

Truly worthy of meditation.

I thank the HOLY SPIRIT for letting me look into this today.
