So those who realize we can't continue to grow exponentially without a crisis are right, and those who believe it is all under God's sovereignty are right.
But those who think "birth control" is a solution have not thought this through.

The population is a crisis, not because the earth cannot sustain life, but because of the results of sin and rejecting God. There are now numerous crises coming to a head -- whether climate, or environment, or nuclear, or pandemic, or financial meltdown, or all of the above as prophesied, etc., mankind is in quite a fix. Today Iran and Israel, for example, are at war. With any of these conflicts, we might hit the flashpoint.
This is the inevitable result of man living temporarily under the god of this age, but the earth is the Lord's. He has redeemed man and creation, and desires to return for His own. In brief, like the message in the "
Lord of the Flies," man cannot survive on his own. We barely survived the first two world wars, and we will not survive the third.
