0:00.0	Yes, God, God. God don't never change.
0:17.0	Welcome to Plodcast episode 72.
0:20.0	Great to have you with me.
0:21.0	Thanks for inviting me along. So I was thinking about global
0:26.6	warming this morning and not so much about the the fact of it or because there is no fact of it or the debate over
0:38.5	climate change or the debate over global warming.
0:42.4	The thing that I was thinking about is it the religious
0:50.1	nature of the climate change presupposition. What do I mean by religious nature? For
0:59.8	liberals, for progressives. Climate change is an eschatological reality.

2:22.9	So in Hal Lindsay's book, The Late Great Planet Earth, he says, for example, Israel was formed as a nation in 1948 with the Balfour Declaration.
2:36.0	That caused the prophetic clock to start ticking again.
2:41.0	This generation will not pass away, so the generation that sees the prophetic clock
2:46.1	jump-started again will not pass away until all these things are fulfilled.
2:50.7	That means the second coming had to happen by 1988.
