Revelation 14

King James Version

14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:

3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

There's no point in talking about climate change in the UK, the UK is getting timber from Canada and burning it to produce electricity so all this talk about zero emissions is a load of rubbish, until a catastrophe occurs then no country using fossil fuels will ever change there direction, simply they can't afford change, the UK is currently in the worst recession in living memory and it's only going to get worse, thousands will be out of a job and those with a job will be taxed so high that it won't be worth going to work, the UK economy is beyond fixing so the UK doesn't have any money unless they borrow it to pay for climate change, they have now decided to tax electric cars in 2025 so again no incentive to change from a petrol or diesel car, no one can afford to have heat exchangers fitted to there homes or afford to insulate there homes, in other words we will all die due to the UK government not spending in the correct areas because energy giants won't like it as they will lose out big time
