“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people,
14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

When Disasters Come, Where is God?
Alex Dodson
Are disasters only natural events? Should we only consider secondary causes? How does God fit into this? Does God ever send a disaster on a nation? If so, why?
Disasters and What They Mean
Alex Dodson
The repentance of a people is the Biblical response to disasters. It is true that we should not see every natural disaster as a punishment for some sin that individuals have committed. Yet, on the other hand we cannot completely rule out the possibility that repeated disasters on a nation might be God's judgement on a people. The Bible is full of such and we harm ourselves to ignore clear Biblical implications of repeated disasters upon a people.
Disasters and God
Alex Dodson
Are disasters only natural events? Should we only consider secondary causes? Have we become so secular as a nation that we no longer consider God has any input on how we live as a people. We have largely ignored the moral law of God as a people and have pretty much set up our own morality of what we think is right and wrong. We can by a majority vote declare something moral and right and then go on not stopping to consider if what we have approved might be wrong in God's sight. All of that was for an earlier generation. We have outgrown such thinking. So, many think today. What then about all of these disasters? Do they mean anything or are they just things that have happened with no ultimate cause behind them?
