I had this thought today…scary I know….but as I watching the morning news, the story of another earthquake, this time in Hawaii came across. My first thought, was, “Wow! That’s a lot of earthquakes.” My second thought was, “Creation is groaning.”
Romans 8:19-22 says….
“19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.”
So this thought of creation crying out came to me. Now, don’t get me wrong or take me out of context. I’m not telling you Jesus is coming back in the next few days because of these quakes. He could come back in the next minute…we don’t know. But what I am saying is that isn’t it an interesting thought in light of Romans 8 to think that God…through creation…the earthquakes and everything else….is crying out and groaning that we be reconciled back to Himself. Calling His sons and daughters back to himself. Creation is groaning.
Then I ran across THIS jewel. The title of this article was the “Earth’s Hum Sounds More Mysterious Than Ever”. The article says….
The planet emanates a constant rumble far below the limits of human hearing, even when the ground isn’t shaking from an earthquake. (It does not cause the ringing in the ear linked with tinnitus.) This sound, first discovered a decade ago, is one that only scientific instruments — seismometers — can detect. Researchers call it Earth’s hum.
Funny how they only discovered it a decade ago. All they had to do was read the bible to see that creation has been “humming” for thousands of years.
Creation has been groaning since the fall took place and will continue to groan and “hum” until the “adoption” is final.
What a day God eagerly waits for.
Great thoughts man. This is the exact thing I thought about after the Chile earthquake last week. I’ve never heard of the research about the “hum” of the earth. Incredibly intriguing, but not surprising at all. It’s a day that I eagerly await for as well. Good stuff. Keep reaching as many as you can for the gospel bro.
Thanks Zane! Interestingly and unfortunately, there was another quake in Chile today
So true. What’s funny is that the unbelievers of today look at the situations of today and call them ‘normal’. As time progresses and things grow worse, the people of tomorrow are going to look at the situations of tomorrow and call them ‘normal’.
good post.
Thank you sir! I agree completely by the way. That’s a very good point. It’ll be interesting to see how people react as we move towards a more secular world unfortunately.
