#000000;\"><strong>Notes on the Readings<\/strong><\/span><\/h5><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Comments on Haggai 1:15b-2.9<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Haggai exhorts the people of the postexilic period to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. He charges the people not only with not building the Temple, but with living in lavish: \u201cIs it a time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?\u201d (Haggai 1:4).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Temple in Jerusalem in the time of the prophet can be interpreted today as all the natural world that God gave us in stewardship. We take care of our own material wellbeing, in our \u201cpaneled houses\u201d, but pollute, over exploit our resources and degrade our land and its rich biodiversity, which is God\u2019s gift to us. How can we let God\u2019s Creation remain in ruins?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Comments on 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5, 13-17<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In this letter, Paul addresses the concerns of the Thessalonians that the \u201cday of the Lord\u201d, or Christ\u2019s second coming, had already arrived. Paul teaches that it will not occur until \u201cthe rebellion comes\u201d and the \u201clawless one is revealed\u201d (2:3). Scholars believe this to be the most significant \u201cnew content\u201d of this letter. Paul goes on to say that the lawless one \u201copposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God\u201d (2:4). Additionally, this lawless one may already be present: the \u201cmystery of lawlessness\u201d concerning him is already at work (2:7). The meaning of this passage has escaped scholars old and modern, but the unique element in this passage is the reference to a restraining force or person.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How may we interpret this passage environmentally? It seems appropriate to say that the \u201cmystery of lawlessness\u201d is already at work due to the predicament we are facing. We can interpret the restraining force or person as our faith and hope in Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Comments on Luke <\/strong><strong>20:27-38<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The passage tells the story of the questioning of Jesus by the Sadducees, who did not believe in the resurrection. They ask Jesus a trick-question regarding a woman who marries seven times in life different brothers that die in succession, since, by the law of Moses, a man should marry his deceased brother\u2019s widow. \u201cIn the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had married her\u201d (20:33). Jesus goes on to explain that \u201cthose who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection of the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. Indeed, they cannot die anymore\u2026\u201d (20:34-36).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Sadducees were a part of the wealthy Judean elite that included some high priests whose interpretations of the Torah differed from those of the Pharisees. They rejected ideas of resurrection and afterlife not found in the Torah (the Law, traditionally the books of Moses). Jesus refutes the Sadducees exactly by citing scripture traditionally believed to having been written by Moses:\u201d And the fact that the dead are raised Moses himself showed, in the story about the bush, where he speaks of the Lord as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob\u201d (20:37). Therefore, Jesus explains that bodily resurrection does not replicate the condition of human mortal life and concludes: \u201cNow, he is God not of the dead, but of the living, for to him all of them are alive\u201d (20:38).\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In this passage Jesus confirms the hope of the resurrection, by affirming that, to God, it is life, not death. Furthermore, we can interpret, that it is this kind of life that we should be seeking on earth. A life that surpasses its mere material existence, that is rich in spiritual meaning, where overconsumption and waste are replaced by temperance and solidarity, in which suffering and injustice are no more.<\/span><\/p><h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Sermon Notes<\/strong><\/span><\/h5><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Reaching the point of no return.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cLet no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the one destined for destruction. He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God\u201d (2Thess 2:3-4)<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cFor the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who now restrains it is removed\u201d (2Thess 2:7)<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cNow, he is God not of the dead, but of the living, for to him all of them are alive\u201d (Luke 20:38).<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The thread that weaves together these passages can be interpreted in the light of our present joint and interconnected environmental, social and economic predicament. We are at a time of crossroads like never before in human history. Climate change and the general degradation of the natural systems which maintain life on Earth may lead us to self-destruction, but not before great human suffering, especially by the poor and most vulnerable people, from climate change-induced disasters, widespread pollution, ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss and, ultimately, lack of food and potable water. This sounds very much like the end of times, just before the second coming of Christ. Paul says it will not occur until \u201cthe rebellion comes\u201d and the \u201clawless one is revealed\u201d. It seems appropriate to say that the \u201cmystery of lawlessness\u201d is already at work. We can interpret the restraining force or person as our faith and hope in Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>God gives us hope through faith in the truth<\/strong>. The truth is also a very important scientific and ethical component of the environmental movement. For many years, a disinformation campaign regarding the science of climate change was orchestrated by the major oil producers in order to halt the adoption of more strict national legislation in the USA and of internationally set carbon goals, a wicked deception indeed (2Thess 2:10). Those who would have to give up profit and power continued the spreading of downright lies regarding the validity of the U.N. claims about the extent and severity of our impact on the environment. For, if this were admitted being true, it would uncover the underlying causes of our planet\u2019s predicament: an economic paradigm that has no limits to production and consumption, that leads to the accumulation of wealth by a few, and a lifestyle based on waste. Those few, being allowed to wield tremendous power over others (\u201cdeclaring himself to be God\u201d), continue the exploitation of all life.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Life being the key<\/strong>. God wishes us to live! And live abundantly! spiritually, psychologically, materially, in relationship to others and the natural world. A life of the resurrection on Earth, in which the material and the spiritual are joined in abundant life.\u00a0 As we contemplate the beauty of our perfect divinely made planet and the predicament we have created for ourselves, the realization that we must amend our ways clearly dawns on us. It is no longer a choice of a few to live sustainably, it is an imperative for our survival. As Christians, our hope lies in the renewal that comes from within, from our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and the coming of the kingdom of God.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Reference<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.introducingNT.com\">www.introducingNT.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3bba057c elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3bba057c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7a9dbd12\" data-id=\"7a9dbd12\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-103fd928 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"103fd928\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.18.0 - 20-12-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" height=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/preachingforgodsworld.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Elezebeth-Sherill.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-1163\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b85c060\" data-id=\"b85c060\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79b0f7bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"79b0f7bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.18.0 - 20-12-2023 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Dr Elisabeth Sherrill<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-298869c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"298869c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Elisabeth Ivete Sherrill<\/strong> is an ecological economist (B.Sc.
