It is not a secret. It is there plain and clear.You need to come clean on your secret "Bible reference".
You just don't get it, do you?

It will cost you, and in these forums is prohibited this kind of monetary transactions.
If you still interested, open your Bible and find it out.
You pay the Pastor, the conferences, nothing is free and nothing was free.You sound like the grifter Kenneth Copeland.
And that's NOT a compliment.
"Give me money and I'll expound to you the Information I found in Scripture!" <-- You sound like this.
This forum is a place for open discussion.
If you're here to grift, or hide "secrets" behind a paywall, you can either leave or you will be removed forcefully.
This will be your only warning on this matter.
As RD said: "Put up, or shut up."
Poser.I didn't come here for money but to share some knowledge with others and also learn from others.
You pay the Pastor, the conferences, nothing is free and nothing was free.
In ancient Israel, the Levite used to walk to the farm of the descendant of another son of Jacob and asked for his tithe. He received grains, some chicken, perhaps even a cow, etc.
At the synagogue his job was to read the Torah portion.
Was it free?
I don't condemn preachers charging for their job, but when they become corrupt, that is a no no. In ancient Israel, the priests were rich people, of course they became rich by receiving tithes alone.

So, you're saying we must read the Bible through ancient Hebrew eyes, not modern ones, but then you read climate change, a totally modern concept that's utterly foreign to the biblical world, into prophecy and refuse to tell people on a theology forum what the biblical prophesy is because you're scared one of us is going to run out an publish it for profit.Very well.
Bible shows several events that slowly but surely are being recognized as correct when science intervenes to check them. Bible also shows in certain opportunities that the writers or characters implied had a certain knowledge that was unknown for us until was verified with new discoveries.
Unfortunately, translations of the Bible were made in base of the level of knowledge of whom? medieval dudes who lived under the influence of strange doctrines. The new translations are no other thing but copies of those original translations but using synonymous of key words so new translations will "sound different".
Here is when there is a need to make a review, but a review audit style.
When you do so, you must also include the need to translate as if you live in those years, not so with the current 21 century mentality. It is a problematic method to follow but the closer you become as living in those years, the better you understand what they are telling you.
You will notice then that they observed the world with different eyes, they noticed things that you can't see because you don't observe the world anymore, you only see the world throughout the screen of your PC or phone. They felt what they saw, for you it's just a new video.
Hope you get what I'm trying to tell you.
Let's go a little further. You know that each people have their own culture where legends are also part of it. If you want to understand the Bible you better also start to be part of that culture, because the Bible wasn't written for pagan people but for Israelites. And you must become a Ruth in order to become a Israelite (your God will be my God, your people (culture included) will be my people).
When you learn the culture of the ancient Israelite, is when you can catch up better the readings. You will notice things that others can't. It is like language in different parts of a country; some phrases are familiar and mean something solely in a certain city while in the other cities same phrase means nothing.
The importance for you to become a Ruth is essential in order to understand the Bible better. Of course, living outside the culture of the ancient Israelite will allow you to understand and even discover the meaning of lots of biblical passages, however those lack "flavor".
The language used in the Bible is poetic when is about prophecies or predictions. In this case, when is about climate change, you won't find the answer in those. Jesus explained lots of things to the apostles in those 40 days before his depart, you can tell when you read the Gospel of John. You notice it in a letter of Peter as well and so forth. In those says Jesus didn't talk with parables. In this case the Bible is not talking metaphors when is about the changes in the world.
Problem is that many want the answer from the Bible like a 5 year old child wanting to obtain a driver license. There are conditions for "salvation", right? Same as well there are conditions to receive answers from the Bible, as mentioned above.
Is not a refusal, is about when is the appropriated moment.This is a public forum.
Not a conference.
The only "fee" to be paid is making an account.
Everyone here who can post has paid that fee.
All that's left is for you to "put up or shut up." (Hint: that's the "share some knowledge" thing you mentioned.)
If you refuse to do that, then why are you even here in the first place?
