Natural Disasters!!! We have seen our fair share of them in the Caribbean and around the world. Like the name suggests, “disaster” it’s meant to destroy. Recently we have seen the impacts of these disasters becoming increasingly devastating, wreaking havoc on everything in their path. For us in Dominica on August 27, 2015, we got what was described by Forecasters as the outer bands of Tropical Storm Erika, which totally ravaged the island. Over the past few years, we have heard about “depletion of the Ozone layer”, “green house gases”, “global warming” and more recently “climate change”, fancy terms,? Yes. In short just to say the manipulation of the earth’s atmosphere which I might say is as a result of man’s doing all in the name of science.
Last week we experienced the unprecedented Hurricane Irma which rapidly developed from Tropical Depression into the worst hurricane ever recorded. Let’s just say it broke the Saffir Simpson Scale to create its own category. I guess a new category may have to be considered. Within a few days many Caribbean islands also Florida were severely impacted, some beyond recognition.
In just a short space of one month, we have seen major flooding in Sierra Leone and India, 3 major Hurricanes in the Caribbean Region and an 8.1 magnitude earthquake in Mexico. All being categorized as “never seen before”.
Some may say that it‘s:
- The end of times
- The Bible coming to pass
- A strange coincidence
See it as you may, Climate Change may be irreversible, but we can definitely do our part to slow down the process; otherwise, the world as we know it may soon cease to exist. Is it too late? Maybe, maybe not! As we can see the Natural Disasters are getting worse.
Sacre matair! It’s such sensational and associated biblical reference which brings out the doltish and sacre sort mon Dominik with their rubbish. Please try and educate your readership with irrefutable facts. Furthermore, with all our prayers have our lives gotten any better? The Jehovah witnesses, have had to change their end times on quite a few occasions because their church elders know nothing about the date. According to Dr. Yosef A.A Ben-Jochannan (1918-2015) “When your god and your saviour looks like your master and enslaver, you become the principle agent in your destruction”. Open your eyes and ears, stop breaking wood in your ears when truth is present, not your truth but “the truth”. No!! It’s not the fault of any political party, so pa parle puis sortai a tete mon Dominik
Every time I read about “climate change and global” like the way it is written above, I always ask myself, DOES ANYBODY KNOW THAT GOD IS IN CHARGE
Yes, climate change or global warming may be in the process, but there is nothing man can do to change that process–the way they want it to be– for mankind cannot interfere with God’s work; they can only take heed of His warnings and be prepared for what is come.
Both the Earth and the World, is in the process of transformation, the Earth must become the “Paradise” as it was in ancient times–which the Bible refers to it as the “Garden of Eden” That is why Jesus said to the Robber on the cross, who stood up against to other, on His behalf. The man asked Jesus to remember when He gets to Heaven. Jesus said him:
I tell you today, you will be in Paradise with Me 
The World is the people with a lifestyle that is based on the present system. By the faith of man (people) he must enter the process of transformation, this begins when his mind goes into its renewal process.
Through transforming the physical body goes into a state that cannot perish–but the “carnal mind” and a “sleeping dead soul” will know the torments of hell–that is the reason we are told to prepare ourselves for Jesus’ return or before we leave our physical body.
The apostle John tells us at Revelation 21:1
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. 
So then, who is man to think that he can change or make amends to what God has already planned:?: Preparation is a good idea, I agree with that, we need to be prepared, and God Himself will tell us what we must do; but to think that we can inferfere in the plan of His work for this world–that is impossible

I agree with you in a way; there are many writers, speakers, and even preachers of the Bible, who tends to refer to its messages but do not give us a clue of where they receive their backings.
The warnings of the end of times are well prophesized in the Old Testament, and is repeated in the New Testament; the Book of Revelation contains many of those warnings. They are there because Jesus does not want His people to perish; He warned them, so they will take heed and prepare for what must come–alive or dead.
The Bible is always a new book because it is written for the present generation–very few people go over 100 years before they leave their body. So now is the time to prepare for the return of Jesus, for when He returns, there won’t be any physical death. The message of Life in Love is in the Bible
Do not allow Jesus to find you with a sleeping soul and a carnal state of mind, lest you face hell.s torments
I shaking my head. People, including the writer, are just too gullible. These statements are being repeated over and over and hyped by those with an agenda but what is the truth?
You say “the worst hurricane ever recorded.” Nope, wrong. “Irma was the strongest storm ever on record in the Atlantic, outside of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.” -qz.com. Note the difference, One is hype, qualified to be technically correct, the other is hysterical screaming.
According to Wikipedia, here are the strongest storms ever in the North Atlantic ocean:
Allen 1980 – 190 mph
Labor Day 1935 -185 mph
Gilbert 1988 – 185 mph
Wilma 2005 – 185 mph
Irma 2017 -185 mph
Irma is 5th. The two most intense were Allen in 1980 and Labor Day in 1935. Can you now see the silliness of your argument, the dishonesty of the hype they are feeding us? If man-made global warming causes hurricanes to get ever stronger, how do you explain the hurricane of 1935 that was just as strong?
Thank you. I love DNO, but they could be a bit more judicious when publishing commentary on scientific topics.
Please do no reference the Bible unless you are willing to share the whole Bible narrative as to who or what causes so called natural disasters,……..there are millions of ignorant people on this planet who will misinterpet this article…..
You are a Jeremiah!
