The climate crisis is Armageddon?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Climate change fuels End Times evangelicalism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On an unusually warm Friday night in August, adults and children gather at the New Life Chapel in the Victorian town of Wodonga for the first night of the Oceania End Times Prophetic Conference.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside, the hall is dark but for a projected constellation of stars illuminating the stage, where a band is playing light rock.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pastor Zoran Paunovich steps out in front of the tightly-packed front rows, a crisp T-shirt and sneakers giving off carefully crafted \u201ccool dad\u201d vibes. He welcomes the hundreds in the audience, including online viewers, with a shout-out to the youngest present. \u201cI am so encouraged to see so many young people here tonight,\u201d he says. \u201cWe desperately need your generation to understand these things.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere have been people in every generation since the time of Jesus that have believed that they were living in the End Times and it\u2019s just a constant reinvention of the story,\u201d he says.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some evangelical Christians \u2013 such as Kyle Meyaard-Schaap, author of\u00a0Following Jesus in a Warming World: A Christian Call to Climate Action\u00a0\u2013 see their religious beliefs embracing climate change activism, McSkimming says it can be discouraged, even by churches that don\u2019t teach End Times prophecies, as \u201csocial gospel\u201d. She says it\u2019s chilling to hear some people say \u201cBring it on, Lord\u201d in response to signs they interpret as meaning \u201cGod is getting closer\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the beginning of sorrows, the stuff we\u2019re seeing,\u201d Hall tells the assembled in Wodonga.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe world is going to be cast into a cauldron of horror which is beyond description, and I want my kids in the kingdom,\u201d he says. \u201cI do believe that God is using End Time teaching to stir people about the urgency of the hour.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBring it on, Lord\u201d. Probably not the outcome climate alarmists who relentlessly proselytise their secular mockery of the Christian faith intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note I am not criticising the pastor or his congregation for being deceived by the climate crisis narrative. I believe Pastor Zoran Paunovich and his congregation have been persuaded by relentless media climate propaganda, which in the People\u2019s Republic of Victoria is at saturation level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope Pastor Paunovich\u2018s faith and his obvious empathy for others lead him and his congregation to a less troubled view of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
