Book excerpt: Revelation’s second most common word is γῆ (ge), the root of the word geology. Many of the warnings coming soon may be literally fulfilled in order to turn humanity from their complete destruction. Just as the Creator preserved some during the global flood—a geologic catastrophe; He will protect those who trust in Him through future geologic events. Finally, as life on earth becomes unsustainable, the Messiah will return to rescue the righteous.
