My Plastic Patch (Behind the song)
We have been having some of the strongest storms on record, hurricanes, tornados, wind blown fires, and the hottest days that seem not to end. From the massive amount of plastics dumped into the ocean causing the Great pacific Garbage Patch as well as all the other forms of contamination of the planet, are we really surprised that such extremes are happening! Scientists and professionals have been warning about it for the past almost 50 years starting back in 1965. And now we have it and according to some it might be too far to reverse. Revelation 11:18 foretold such a happening that mankind’s greed would produce when it alluded to it by mentioning the need , ” to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” 2000 years ago man didn’t have that ability! It is easy to close our eyes to the reality while we surround ourselves with our little patches of paradise but these extremes have no fences that say stay out. These plaques were also foretold at Luke 21:11,” There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.” verse 25 ,26 says, ““Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth anguish of nations not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation. People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” If anyone looks reasonably to the facts they will see that these things happening now are much greater in frequency and magnitude than ever before. What does it mean? Luke 21:31 answers, “Likewise also you, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near.” “During that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of your people. And there will occur a time of distress such as has not occurred since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written down in the book. Daniel 12:1
I had read in a magazine called Awake, in an issue published some years ago in 1989 , a warning about the Pacific plastic problem. The article was entitled “Oceans—Precious Resource or Global Sewer” . Later appeared in around 2006 or 7 another article specifically mentioning “The Great Pacific Garbage Patch” Earlier while visiting Ecuador our friends brought us to a breathtaking site where a tributary of the Amazon River was rushing through a deep gorge on its way to the sea. Completely astonished by what we were beholding, we became more astonished when a Large Garbage truck pulled up and unloaded its entire contents in what we thought was a pristine untouched site. We were shocked and told, “every day many garbage trucks unload here”. Later in 2013 an article in the Newcastle Herald, entitled “The Ocean is Broken” appeared confirming the systematic ruining of the seas literally by specs and specs that have grown to twice the size of Texas! The song “My Plastic Patch” referring to what had now become an unwanted possession of the earth was written during this time calling attention to such ruination by mankind. The Total devastation and ruin of other humans and the environment bring to mind the need that the ” appointed time……. to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” be fulfilled (Revelation 11:18).
