Blame The Apocalypse On Climate Change Or Abortions

Pastor Danny Nalliah, in a Catch the Fire Ministries press release, yesterday blamed the bushfires on terminations
PASTOR Danny Nalliah was not surprised by the bushfires due to a dream he had last October relating to consequences of the abortion laws passed in Victoria. He said these bushfires have come as a result of the incendiary abortion laws which decimate life in the womb. CTFM has called on all Australian Bible-believing, God-fearing Christians to repent and call upon the Lord Jesus Christ for his mercy and protection over Australia once again. “Yesterday (Monday) the front page of the Herald Sun newspaper reported ‘the darkest hour’ for Victoria. A few months ago the news media should have reported the darkest hour for the unborn, but unfortunately the decriminalisation of abortion bill went through parliament and was passed, thus making many people call Victoria the baby-killing state of Australia,” Mr Nalliah said. “In my dream I saw fire everywhere, with flames burning very high and uncontrollably. With this I woke up from my dream with the interpretation as the following words came to me in a flash from the spirit of God. That his conditional protection has been removed from the nation of Australia, in particular Victoria, for approving the slaughter of innocent children in the womb. “Can we stop the fires? Yes we can! But it will take God’s children to rally together and repent and cry unto him as in 2 Chronicles 7:14 (The Holy Bible).”
Climate doom-monger Freya Mathews in The Age thinks the cool change helped:
IT is only a couple of years since scientists first told us we could expect a whole new order of fires in southeastern Australia; fires of such ferocity they would simply engulf the towns in their path. And here they are. The fires we saw on Saturday were not “once in a thousand years” or even “once in a hundred years” events, as our political leaders keep repeating. They were the face of climate change in our part of the world. It was only by chance that a cool change came through on Saturday. What if the pattern of the heatwave that occurred in the last week of January had been repeated?
Bernard Salt in The Herald Sun explains the cool change is the problem:
THE bottom line is that Victoria has more people in more tree-change communities growing more rapidly than anywhere else in Australia. This is a matter of probabilities: a multitude of small communities scattered across bushland magnifies the probability that fire — any fire — will wreak havoc. But this exposure goes beyond the demographic. Melbourne is an accident of geography that is predisposed to bushfire, just as San Francisco is predisposed to earthquake. Melbourne sits at the bottom right-hand corner of the continent. Every summer, the prevailing westerly wind sometimes reorients to the northwest. These infamous north-westerlies whip up across 4000km of dry, hot, treeless desert speeding up and heating up along the way before cracking across the top of the Great Divide and its residents. Sydney is surrounded by bush, but that bush is sparsely populated in comparison with Melbourne. Adelaide is subjected to the same north-westerlies, but the exposure for that city is the Adelaide Hills, which lie on the city’s eastern flank. A northwesterly wind generally fans across Adelaide and towards sparsely populated areas. Melbourne, on the other hand, is right in the firing line of this wind, meaning that it fans towards, as opposed to away from, the population mass. Where else on our continent, or our planet, is there such a confluence of geography where a wild wind blows across a desert to a volatile eucalypt-encrusted terrain populated by people spilling out of a city of four million?
Frank Campbell in The Age:
THE weather forecast was both early and accurate: a near repeat of Ash Wednesday 1983 — slightly hotter, similar low humidity, and sustained wind speeds reaching 40 to 60km/h. But contrary to current hyperbole, Black Saturday was not the worst fire day ever. Ash Wednesday’s wind speeds ranged from 70 to 120km/h. A savage southwest front led to most of the deaths and property loss, whereas Saturday had a modest wind change. Nor was the area burned in the latest fires exceptional. About 300,000 hectares is the likely total, compared with 1.5 million on Black Friday1939, several million on Black Thursday1851, 260,000 on Red Tuesday 1898 and 230,000 on Ash Wednesday. Note that the days of the week have mostly been used up already. Every 10 or 20 years there is a bushfire disaster. This isn’t going to change.
Loss of life received scant attention in yesterday’s The Australian Financial Review which led its bushfire coverage with:
Vineyards dealt devastating blow. The $250million Yarra Valley wine industry has been decimated by the tragic bush fires.
Dear Pastor Danny
I believe you had that dream. I too have had dreams like many others. I have had only two and one came true the other is pending. One was about 9/11 and it happened 20 years later. The last one will not take 20 years for it to happen. It was much worse then 9/11 and it will happen to the USA. God is not pleased with the homosexual distruction of family life and its active impurity. God is not pleased with how the USA murders its children and children abroad. The dream I had was before this pro death administration was put into office. There will be no time to repent. In the dream about 9/11 there was time to repent. This dream was horrific and I pray like Jonah , that the people will come to conversion like Ninevah did before the destructon happens.
I believe your dream and isn’t God very merciful to warn his people— Many beautiful catholics and christians died in 9/11 == just like in Japan when the cruel bomb was set off by the USA I pray we have the courage to unite our sufferings with Christ who died for us to set us free.
Peace
Sister
Well done catch the Fire Ministries for speaking out forthright God’s vision to you. You did what was right and it is an amazing Blessing to find a Godly word amongst a very trashy newspaper. What was meant for harm will surely cause some good! Mike
Here follows my reply! I love your Ministry and heart – God loves you ïŠ

“Well look at all the judgement and hatred towards the Pastor!
Try John 10:10 and see how your judgement fits into that one, but mark my words God in Heaven is the answer for all and God is love. If you don’t know love, you don’t know God and neither can you recognise His people, hear His voice or discern that which is or is not from above. I believe our nation needs to rise up in Faith and in relationship with the true Living God and indeed we would then be in a better position to hear right from wrong and this is the heart of the Pastors message. Sitting and making foul comments about the Pastor or his message tells us a lot about you, but very little about him. Get up Australia, your spirit is weak and your relationship with the Living Lord is not as deep as it used to be or can be at this time indeed. Relationships are based on spending time with someone and then we can understand Jesus. Go and have your discourse on baby killing with Jesus, a subject He is very familiar with – coming from Bethlehem and see who follows Herod and who follows the wise men. The end. Mike
Last night in prayer, i believe the Lord said:
‘The earth is being shaken with the fear of the Lord.
In the Spiritual realm, all hell is breaking loose, there is chaos.
The people of God need to pray and seek the face of God.’
We need mighty warriors to fight. We need to pray for God to place his warring angels in strategic places.
2 chronicles 20:15 ‘The Battle is not yours but the Lords.’
v 20: As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” 21 After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the LORD and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying:
“Give thanks to the LORD,
for his love endures forever.”
This morning I saw a vision of a spiritual fire sweeping through the nation- not a good spiritual fire.
I see that the devil is preparing his demonic forces.
I feel that the Lord is saying that christians had better start praying.
I also feel that the CTFM Revival meetings have been a preparation for people to come and be prepared to fight this battle that is on it’s way.
The Lord says” it is time to fight and stand up for the name of Jesus. It is Time.”
- I believe that the RUA prayer meetings placed all around Australia are very strategic locations that have been in place for years. God has put them in place.
We need to take up our sword (God’s Word) and fight.
‘we need to be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.’
“Not by power but by my spirit says the Lord.”
I don’t believe that making it legal to kill babies caused the bush fires. The cause is very squarely at the feet of the church. We are supposed to be salt and light but most of the time we are more interested in our comfort and what entertains us than becoming an army for God that makes prayer the focus of our church life. We are more like a creme puff than a good steak.
Most church leaders are more interested in maintaining the status quo. Most of them oppose the word and will of God. Most of them are more interested in their position and power over the people. Most of them are more interested in receiving a weekly salary than living by faith in a God who supplies all our needs. Most of them oppose anyone who comes in the name of the Lord and says judgment is coming on his house. Most of them don’t want people to hear from the Lord directly because their shallowness may be exposed.
The church is no longer relevant to most people and we are going backward in Australia. The only people who cannot seem to understand that the mentality of “we have always done it this way” is the reason that God is judging this nation because judgment always begins in the house of God are the leaders of the so called church.
Our nation will continue to suffer until the church spends more time praying than doing anything else. When you have pastors closing down all prayer meetings except for 10 minutes before the Sunday morning meeting you know we are in trouble. Apart from the fact that Sunday morning meetings are not to be found in scripture so most of them are a waste of time as they are the product of cultural tradition.
Thank you pastor Danny Nalliah,
I have followed with great interest the travesty of your court case, I am not a “church-going” Christian but I do believe in the worth while cause of your organization. i was so infuriated with machination if your case and to read all the rubbish published by these so called unbiased newspapers. I have my own thoughts about Islam and the Muslim influx to this country, I am from immigtant stock ( italian) all our people wanted in this country was to live a quiet, respectful, hard working life and to be able to provide for our families after the devestation of World War 11. The majority gave their all for their families and this country, and through hard work and perserverance, they achieved and changed for the good…. the culture of this great south land.
I for the life of me cannot see this in the islamic migration, and I do believe that this country will rue the day that they let these people in. These people do not change their culture or assimilate as other ethnic groups from Europe have but will try and radically change our culture to theirs!
Another thing which greatly disturbs me is the legal “murder of the innocents” I truly believe that God Almighty is going to make book this country, for this great eveil being perpertrated on the innocent whom have no voice. I am the father of five adult children and the grandfather of two and God willing soon to be three.
In closing I really appreciate you and your ministries speaking up against this evil being forced upon us by an non-believing goernment premier.
With great respect,
Vasco.
Staggered is the only word i can think of to describe my amazement at the variety of theological thought that has been voiced over the last few days in the face of horrific tragedy. A God who judges? An angry God? A God who protects believers but not unbelievers? Unbelievers are under judgement? A broken world is under judgement? God of retribution? A God who kills the innocent to punish law makers? Totally staggering.
The pictures we paint of God are fundamental in regards to our behaviour and words. An angry God produces angry followers.
Maybe let’s just step back a minute!
Why is the Gospel the Good News? Why is the announcement that the Kingdom of God had come in Jesus such a reason to rejoice, party and go ballistic? Is it good news for the pious, the religious, the all-together-ones? Is it good news for those who keep rules, who produce brownie points, who are without sin?
The Good News is good because to a broken, messed up, sin warped world there is an incredible announcement – God has come to live amongst us! Emmanuel. Amongst the sinners, amongst the stuff upperers, amongst the prostitute, the law breaker – amongst the lowliest of the low – God has come. In person, in human flesh – not in prosperous garments, or in Pharisaical judgement, or in angry vengeance. God walks amongst us in the Person of his Son in humility, poverty – a God who weeps. A God who suffers with those who are suffering.
Amongst those suffering right now… God is.. God walks… Amongst the ones who have lost… God is… amongst those who cry… God cries….And to a charred, broken world hope comes… not in a judgmental, angry God that is the image fashioned by angry people of a totem pole god… but in the reality of a God revealed in Jesus… A God who still loves the world today!
Pastor Nalliah’s comment on the spiritual causes of the bushfire attempts to answer the complex question about why God would allow something as dreadful as the bushfires to take place. i confess that I am not exempt from the experience of feelings of judgement of others. This is something i am particularly prone to when i feel strongly about the injustice of an event and i feel fully justified in my judgements. This may have been the case in Pastor Nalliah’s judgements about the bushfires and in particular when the Old Testament contains a tradition of retribution which may be construed to support our feelings of judgement towards those who sin in ways that are particularly abhorrent to us.
On the other hand i see in The Crucified Christ that God came and made your pain and mine his own. He is not distant from but able to fully enter into the sufferings of the cross of those who suffer and have suffered at the hands of the bushfires. Therefore instead of receiving condemnation in their and our suffering, we can by faith, know that what we feel is Christ suffering in us and redeeming us. We can allow the crucified one to love us in our brokenness with a love that forgives us seventy times seven and keeps no record of our wrongs.
Dear Ps Danny,
Thank you for coming to our nation of Australia in obedience to God’s direction to speak, warn reprove and instruct according to the Word of the Lord. Your presence is further proof of His love for our nation Hebrews 58-12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
I have heard you minister in Perth and know that you have suffered much persecution for the cause of Christ and the extension of the Kingdom of God. Despite the ridicule and slander of others, within and without the body of Christ you have been faithful to warn of dangers facing the church from militant Islam, from homosexuality and abortion among other things.
Your warning about the bushfires, sharing your dream about the fires and the tragic connection of all this to abortion, was never going to be popular but I believe it’s God’s prophetic word of warning to an increasinly wayward world and His great desire to see them return to His ways and protection. Why are we surprised?
In Amos 3:7 we’re told “Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets”.
We may not like what God has to say, but we can’t say we weren’t warned.
Let us now pray as this tragedy continues to unfold, that the unspeakable suffering of our fellow Australians, your words of warning and and the turning of the church to prayer and repentance may yet result in the reversal of Victoria’s infamous abortion laws and a return to the shadow of God’s protection. If not it seems the Islamists are waiting in the wings to contribute to unleashing more of the same. (see the following links and
