What is gonna be the temperature during God's wrath?
What will the temperature be during God's wrath?
Well, notice what it says in verse number two.
And he opened the bottomless pit,
and so he opens up hell,
and there arose a smoke out of the pit
as the smoke of a great furnace.
And the sun and the air were darkened
by reason of the smoke of the pit.
Notice how it says the sun and the air were darkened
by reason of the smoke of the pit.
Now, this point, I cannot prove to you 100%,
but I'm just gonna go off a few different places
in when it talks about the wrath of God,
because obviously a lot of things are going on,
you know, hail, fire, and all these different things.
I personally believe it's gonna be very cold
during the wrath of God,
and I'll give you a few reasons why.
One of them is found in this verse.
The sun and the air were darkened.
The sun and the air were darkened,
which means the sun is not heating the earth, okay?
If there's a lot of smoke,
the sun is not gonna have the capacity to heat the earth.
Now, I wanna read you something
from when Mount Pinatubo took place.
Obviously, Mount Pinatubo is the big volcano
that happened here in the Philippines.
And at first glance, you might think Mount Pinatubo
increased the temperature of the earth.
It did the exact opposite.
It dropped the temperature of the earth
for a long period of time.
And here, I'm not an expert at this stuff,
so I'll just explain why according to this.
Therefore, a heavy influx of aerosol pollutants
like the plume from Mount Pinatubo
will remain in the stratosphere for years
until the processes of chemical reactions
and atmospheric circulation can filter them out.
In the case of Mount Pinatubo,
the result was a measurable cooling
of the earth's surface for a period of almost two years.
So for two years, the temperature on all of earth was less.
Okay, this is a side effect often from volcanoes, okay?
And then it says this.
Because they scatter and absorb incoming sunlight,
aerosol particles exert a cooling effect
on the earth's surface.
The Pinatubo eruption increased aerosol optical depth
in the stratosphere by a factor of 10 to 100 times
normal levels measured prior to the eruption.
Aerosol optical depth is a measure
of how much light airborne particles prevent
from passing through a column of atmosphere.
Consequently, over the next 15 months,
scientists measured a drop in the average global temperature,
so not just in the Philippines,
worldwide global temperature of about one degree Fahrenheit
or 0.6 degrees Celsius.
So the temperature cooled off worldwide
by about one degree Fahrenheit for 15 months.
As a result of all the smoke that was in the air,
the sun was just not able to heat the earth, okay?
There's also something called a volcanic winter.
Who's heard of a volcanic winter?
Any scientists in here?
I'm a math guy, so this is,
most of this stuff's new to me as well.
I find this stuff interesting.
I've watched a lot of things on volcanoes
because that is pretty much hell, right?
A lake of fire.
So I've always found documentaries
and things on volcanoes interesting.
But this is what it says.
A volcanic winter is a reduction in global temperatures
caused by volcanic ash and droplets of sulfuric acid
and water obscuring the sun and raising earth's albedo,
increasing the reflection of solar radiation.
After a large, particularly explosive volcanic eruption,
long-term cooling effects are primarily dependent
upon injection of sulfur gases into the stratosphere
where they undergo a series of reactions
to create sulfuric acid,
which can nucleate and form aerosols.
Volcanic stratospheric aerosols cool the surface
by reflecting solar radiation and warm the stratosphere
by absorbing terrestrial radiation.
The variations in atmospheric warming and cooling
result in changes in trophospheric
and stratospheric circulation, okay?
Now look, I'm not saying I understand
every single word of that,
but what I am saying is a lot of smoke
will block the sun from heating the earth.
That's a simple way and that makes sense in my head
when you really think about it.
Because at first glance, if you think of a volcano erupting,
you're gonna think, oh man, it's gonna heat up the earth.
But look, the reason why the earth is actually habitable,
that we can live here, is because the sun heats it.
And if the sun's not gonna be able to heat the earth,
it's gonna make the temperature drop, right?
And so in 1991, eruption of Mount Pinatubo,
a stratovolcano in the Philippines,
cooled global temperatures for about two to three years.
The 1883 explosion of Krakatoa may have contributed
to volcanic winter-like conditions.
The four years following the explosion were unusually cold,
and the winter of 1887, 1888 included powerful blizzards.
Record snowfalls were recorded worldwide.
However, the period of cold winters
started with the 1882, 1883 winter,
months before the Krakatoa eruption.
Now go back to Revelation 8.
I'll show you another verse,
why I believe that the temperature's
gonna actually be cold.
So there's scientific evidence when the sun's not able
to heat the earth, it's gonna drop the temperature.
And look, when it comes to the end times,
I'm admitting that with everything going on,
I cannot guarantee it's gonna drop,
because there's more than one factor happening
with God's wrath being poured out.
It's kind of hard to picture,
but I'm just saying, if I just read this
and just think of it literally like this would happen today
with nothing else happening,
this is probably gonna drop the temperature of the earth.
Okay, Revelation 8, verse 12.
Revelation 8, verse 12.
And the fourth angel sounded,
and the third part of the sun was smitten,
and the third part of the moon,
and the third part of the stars.
So as the third part of them was darkened,
and the day shone not for a third part of it,
and the night likewise.
So the sun is darkened,
and that means it's not gonna be heating the earth.
Okay, for a third part of the day, which is 12 hours.
So from six a.m. to six p.m.,
there's a four hour time block
where the sun's not gonna be heating the earth.
Now my personal opinion is that it's completely dark
for a third of the day,
and I don't think it just moves immediately to full light.
I think it's kind of a transition.
I could be wrong,
because they're just kind of giving general numbers
a third part of the day.
But look, if the sun is not gonna be able to heat the earth,
it's gonna make it cold.
Now here in the Philippines, you're thinking, that's great.
It's like, I'd love to have cold weather, it's so hot.
Let me tell you, that would be so much worse
than warm weather.
I mean, cold weather is miserable.
I would much rather, and this is my opinion,
be 40 degrees than zero degrees, okay?
I would much rather 40 degrees Celsius
than zero degrees Celsius.
And here's the thing, you might say,
I would love to, and this is my opinion,
you might say, I love snow and stuff like that.
You've never had to drive in snow before.
Look, if you had snow around,
it's like the most miserable thing.
There's a reason why I don't live in a cold place.
I mean, if this country was cold,
I probably would not be there, okay?
That's the reality.
But what I do believe, outside of my opinion,
that warm weather is much better than cold weather,
as long as you don't get to the level
of the temperature of hell, is that this,
I believe during the wrath of God, based on these verses,
I believe it's probably gonna be colder
than it normally is.
Now, there could be a lot of other factors.
I'm not saying there can't.
But just based on those things,
if the sun is not heating the earth,
it's gonna be very cold, okay?
Turn around.
