In Genesis 6-8, God sent the first ecological disaster of human history in the catastrophic Global Flood of Noah. It was less than 5,000 years ago, when God completely devastated the surface of the entire planet.

3. Doctrine of Sovereignty: God Connects Our Prayers to His Plan (8:5-6)
 
4. The Doctrine that: God is the ONLY Giver & Sustainer of Life (8:7)

6. The Doctrine that: God EXCLUSIVELY Controls the Water of Life (8:10-11)
 
7. The Doctrine that: God is THE Source of the Light of Life (8:12)
 
So we are hearing in Revelation 8 from God who has as one of His unchanging attributes the motivation and essential character that:
