THE PROPHETS OF BAAL ARE ALIVE AND WELL
Baal, literal meaning
is "lord," in the Canaanite pantheon was the local title of fertility
gods. Baal never emerged as a rain god until later times when he assumed the
special functions of each. “The worship
of Baal extended from the Canaanites to the Phoenicians who also were partially
an agricultural people. Both Baal and his cohort Ashtoreth, or Astarte, who is
equivalent to the Greek goddess Aphrodite, were
both Phoenician fertility symbols. Baal, the sun god, was fervently prayed to for the protection of livestock and
crops. Priests instructed the people
that Baal was responsible for droughts, plagues, and other calamities. People were often worked up into great
frenzies at the prospects of displeasing Baal.
Biblical tribes worshiped the god. The ordinary people ardently worshipped this sun god too because their prosperity depended on the productivity of their crops and livestock. The god's images were erected on many buildings. Within the religion there appeared to be numerous priests and various classes of devotees. During the ceremonies they wore appropriate robes. The ceremonies included burning incense, and offering burnt sacrifices, occasionally consisting of human victims. The officiating priests danced around the altars, chanting frantically and cutting themselves with knives to inspire the attention and compassion of the god.

Evolutionists attempt to rob God of His glory as Creator of heaven and earth. Environmentalists attempt to rob God of His glory as the Sustainer and Governor of His Creation.
All such attempts
are the rebellious efforts of the wicked prophets of the modern day cults of Evolutionary
Science (Father Time/Baal) and Environmental
Science (Mother Nature/ Astarte).
Hear the Word of the
Lord.:
“Who shut up
the sea behind door when it burst forth from the womb, when I made the clouds its garment and
wrapped it in thick darkness, when I
fixed limits for it and set its doors and bars in place, when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves
halt’?
Have you comprehended
the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know all this. “What is the way to the abode of light? And
where does darkness reside? Can you
take them to their places? Do you
know the paths to their dwellings? Surely you
know, for you were already born.
“Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail, which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle?
What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth?
Who cuts a channel for
the torrents of rain, and a path for the thunderstorm, to water a land where no
one lives, an uninhabited desert, to satisfy a desolate wasteland and make it
sprout with grass? Does the rain have a father? Who fathers the drops of dew? From
whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens when
the waters become hard as stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen?
“Can you bind the
chains of the Pleiades? Can you
loosen Orion’s belt? Can you bring
forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs? Do
you know the laws of the heavens?”
Can you set up God’s dominion over the earth? “Can you raise your voice to the clouds and
cover yourself with a flood of water? Do you
send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?
Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens when the dust becomes
hard and the clods of earth stick together? Job 38:8-38 (selected verses)
“If you fully obey the Lord your
God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on
earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.’
“The Lord will grant you abundant
prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops
of your ground. The Lord
will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work
of your hands.” Deut. 28: 1, 11-12
However, if you do not obey the Lord
your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving
you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you:
The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron. The Lord will turn the rain of your country into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed. Deut. 28: 15, 24
President Obama, Secretary of State Kerry, the rest of the Political Class, the Academic Community, the Entertainment Industry and the Weather Industry all live the lie that they can in some way by all their mighty efforts change the weather!
"Why do the nations conspire and
the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band
together against the Lord and against his anointed,
saying, “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. He
rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, “I have
installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the
earth. Serve the Lord with fear and celebrate his rule
with trembling. Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to
your destruction for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who
take refuge in him." Psa. 2
