All the plagues in Revelation 8 and 9 in which 1/3 of earth's environmental resources are destroyed, are attributed to the love mankind has for the things his hands produce (Revelation 9:20). These things mankind loves today are primarily produced through the use of fossil fuels. At the conclusion of the beasts' system, when the Lord commences to reign (Revelation 11:15), who do you think are they who have been destroying the earth whom the Lord shall destroy (Revelation 11:18)?
Revelation 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Revelation 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
