I am a vegan. Have been a strict one for 23 years, never wavering. I was not concerned about animals or the planet when I first started. But quickly, I began to change my views.
So I certainly feel anguish about what we have done to this planet of ours. Large, but small. All interconnected. The small algae in the oceans are a key, that's right, a key factor in our earths ecological system.
Saying all that, when God threw us out of the garden, and who can argue with His righteousness, He knew we would strive to create our own comfort. And he knew the secrets of that lay in our plants, and animals, and earth itself. He knew man's ignorance and selfishness would cause a pillage of planetary proportions.
I guess that is one reason why Jesus is coming before there is nothing remaining to destroy.
The sad history of man. Oh thank God for our savior.
