Adventist youth planting trees to save the environment. This work is mandated by the Vatican, the WEF and the UN.
“Adventist Youth Organize a Tree-Planting Activity,” reads the title of an article published in the Adventist Review on March 31, 2022. According to the Adventist Review, this event was “part of their participation in the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s Global Youth Day.” More than 60 young people participated in the tree-planting event, as the local forest department chose the types of trees to be planted. [1]
Planting trees has become the foundation of the climate change movement. Today, tree planting initiatives can be observed all over the world, and Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’ is the source of this ongoing effort. In Laudato Si’ #220, we see a call to plant trees. The world has adopted the Pope’s message, and today planting trees is seen as a key step in cutting carbon emissions and conserving our natural ecosystems.
Pope Francis declared in Laudato Si’ #220 that “planting trees” is part of his plan to create an “ecological citizenship” to protect the planet.
“Yet this education, aimed at creating an ‘ecological citizenship,’ is at times limited to providing information, and fails to instill good habits. The existence of laws and regulations is insufficient in the long run to curb bad conduct, even when effective means of enforcement are present … Education in environmental responsibility can encourage ways of acting which directly and significantly affect the world around us, such as avoiding the use of plastic and paper, reducing water consumption, separating refuse, cooking only what can reasonably be consumed, showing care for other living beings, using public transport or car-pooling, planting trees, turning off unnecessary lights, or any number of other practices” (Laudato Si’ #211).
In response to the Pope’s encyclical, the Catholic Church has launched a tree-planting drive. In the video below, which was issued by the Vatican, you can hear how tree-planting is a celebration of Laudato Si’.
The World Economic Forum, a globalist organization dedicated to radically changing our world politically, environmentally, and economically, has launched a campaign to plant 1 trillion trees by 2030. [2] UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres agrees with both the Vatican and the World Economic Forum. He is also urging individuals and governments to get involved in tree plating. Planting trees, he believes, will help to mitigate the climate crisis. Notice the recent remarks by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres:
“Trees and forests play an essential role in mitigating the impact of climate change. Planting trees is one of the most important things we can do to contribute to the health of the planet.” [3]
What Seventh-day Adventist youth are doing on the church’s Global Youth Day is in harmony with Pope Francis, the World Economic Forum, and the United Nations. The secular and religious worlds share a common vision for our planet’s future. The Pope has extended an invitation to the entire world to join him in his environmental crusade. And make no mistake; this is not about clean water and clean air. No.
This is about adopting a new kind of ecumenical unity. It is about transforming the churches by removing biblical doctrine and uniting all religions together around Catholic social teachings. It’s about embracing a pantheistic view of the environment. This is about accepting Sunday as a universal day of rest for creation, as defined in Laudato Si’, rather than the true Sabbath of the Fourth Commandment.
The Pope is on a mission to bring about a global ecological transformation. Regrettably, this has become the Christian world’s new focal point. Churches are uniting their voices and missions together. To save the world’s ecosystems, they’re forming alliances with secular and left-wing political forces. As a result, the clear teachings of God’s word are being rejected.
After the world was destroyed by the universal flood, God made the following covenant and promise to Noah and the human race:
“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22.
“And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.” Genesis 9:11.
What promise did God make to mankind? The natural course of weather, including cold and heat, summer and winter, would not be disrupted, according to His covenant promise. God’s continued providence would therefore preserve the seasons of cold and hot weather.
“Cold” and “hot” would continue, according to God. He did not use the words “hot” and “hotter” as the modern climate change movement tells us. God’s ordained seasonal temperatures, cold and hot, have never changed and will continue until the earth ceases to exist when Christ returns a second time. God promised that the world would not be destroyed by another climate disaster. He has also promised that the hot and cold seasons will last as long as the earth does. That was, and continues to be, God’s covenant.
Why has this truth been rejected by so many Seventh-day Adventists? Why are we running with the world’s message that says that the climate will once again destroy the planet? It was the same unbelief in God’s word that led to the building of the Tower of Babel. They thought that if they built a tower high enough to reach the heavens, they would be able to avoid the next global flood.
Some people have now joined the new Tower of Babel, believing that the climate crisis is the greatest threat to humanity. No, not at all. Our greatest enemy has always been sin. All of this talk about “ecological conversion” has drowned out the true gospel of Christ, which calls for repentance for our sins as well as repentance for the great wickedness that pervades our culture today.
It is a very serious matter when you abandon God’s law, His Ten Commandments, and biblical morality and replace these truths with a new morality: sins against the planet, rocks, and water. This has become Rome’s new moral obligation, even as the world sinks deeper and deeper into immorality and apostasy. We want to save the planet even as people perish in their sins.
When churches abandon biblical truth, biblical faith, and biblical evangelism, they are engaging in deadly heresy. When the church prioritizes political activism and social justice over the Bible, the result is secularization and the loss of its Christian/Adventist identity. The Three Angels’ Message will be replaced by a political agenda, despite the fact that we will keep the same name and logo. That is exactly what Rome wants.
Globalists from the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, and the Biden administration are seeking help and guidance from Pope Francis to lead the world into the future. Tragically, great calamities, natural disasters, pandemics, plagues, wars, and political strife will not stop because they are the result of transgressions of God’s moral law. It is sin and lawlessness that are creating confusion and disorder. And a union of church and state to promote Sunday is not the answer. This will only bring more trouble and unrest.
We cannot join those who are making God’s law null and void. May today’s signs serve as a wake-up call, reminding us that the end is near and that we must turn to Christ for forgiveness of our sins:
“I was shown that a terrible condition of things exists in our world. The angel of mercy is folding her wings, ready to depart. Already the Lord’s restraining power is being withdrawn from the earth, and Satan is seeking to stir up the various elements in the religious world, leading men to place themselves under the training of the great deceiver, who work with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in the children of disobedience. Already the inhabitants of the earth are marshaling under the leading of the prince of darkness, and this is but the beginning of the end. The law of God is made void. We see and hear of confusion and perplexity, want and famine, earthquakes and floods; terrible outrages will be committed by men; passion, not reason, bears sway. The wrath of God is upon the inhabitants of the world, who are fast becoming as corrupt as were the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah. Already fire and flood are destroying thousands of lives and the property that has been selfishly accumulated by the oppression of the poor. The Lord is soon to cut short His work and put an end to sin” (Testimonies, Vol. 8, p. 49).

John 19:15 KJV
“…The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.”
Planting trees is not by itself a bad thing even it is advised by the pope. We should plant trees every day all the year because it benefits life in general. It is wrong if you do it as a ritual to show obedience to an idol or a false god. I will not suspect it is the case here. Something totally different would be to obey the false teaching in “Laudato Si” (#236 – #238). Our church have already made that transition on #238.
I am wondering what is the clear teachings of God’s word that is being rejected when people plant trees. Where in the Bible does it break Gods law when trees are planted?
God commanded us to plant the seeds of the gospel so that that work can be finished. Where are we told in inspiration that it is the mission of the church to plant trees to save the planet?
Planting trees is not contrary to planting seeds of the gospel. It is possible to do both, even at det same time. We shall live in this world, not to save it, but to preserve it, as God told Adam (Gen 2:15). We have all been given different gifts (1 Cor 12). Some have the gift to minister the gospel while others have the gift to preserve the creation to the benfit of all living. All gifts are needed. A year have 365 days. We are not doing the same every day. Some days we plant gospel seeds. Other days we plant trees. Some days we do both.
Exactly! Nothing is wrong with planting trees. Smh
WE HAVE NO SUCH GOSPEL IN THE SCRIPTURES OF SAVING THE EARTH BUT OF SAVING PEOPLE
2 Peter 3:13 KJV
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Galatians 1:8-9 KJV
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. THIS PLANTING OF TREES IS NOT THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, NEITHER OF HIS APOSTLES.

ANOTHER GOSPEL
Galatians 1:6-7 KJV
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: [7] Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Honestly, EGW said that we should obey those in authority as long as they are not over stepping the boundaries and breaking GOD’s law. There is nothing wrong with planting trees…and even if it was mandated to ‘save the Earth’, it’s not a crime, and it’s not against anything that GOD says. Stop attacking GOD’s people.
Of course, there is a boundary line, and when that is crossed, we can no longer obey the Government’s rules etc, but we haven’t exactly reached there yet.
She says, “We are to recognize human government as an ordinance of divine appointment and teach obedience to it as a sacred duty, within its legitimate sphere. But when its claims conflict with the claims of God, we must obey God rather than men. God’s Word must be recognized as above all human legislation. A “Thus saith the Lord” is not to be set aside for a “Thus saith the church” or a “Thus saith the state.” The crown of Christ is to be lifted above the diadems of earthly potentates.”
-And planting trees is NOT in conflict with GOD’s law, now is it? 🙂
