Although some electricity comes from nuclear power, hydroelectric power and other renewable forms of energy, on the whole most power generation in the world is still reliant on the burning of fossil fuels.
Fossil fuel power stations are a major source of air pollution, from poor air quality and acid rain, to global warming.
Fortunately, international action aimed at reducing the threat of acid rain and air pollution from power generation has, over the last 20 years, led to a reduction in the amount of pollutants coming from power stations.
And each, moreover, may be regarded, in the light of scripture, as a coming of that kingdom with attendant circumstances that answer to the phrase "with power"; circumstances such as were absent during Christs earthly ministry.
Power was needed and was promised for the effective preaching of that gospel whereby those who believe it are translated into the kingdom of Gods dear Son" (# Col 1:12, 13); that gospel which is "the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth" (# Ro 1:16).
Similarly the passage in Romans XI is often presented-not as a prophecy that was to be fulfilled throughout this gospel-dispensation, but-as a prediction that, after the work of the gospel shall have been completed, then the Jewish people are to be saved nationally and by a special salvation of earthly character, different from gospel- salvation.
