Here is how I look at it. I may be wrong but it is the only way I can really comprehend what has happened.
The Lord God used to make and destroy cities and nations depending on their moral fibre. He destroyed Sodom and Gomorah and the cities of the plain. Then he delt only with the nations surrounding Israel and gave the others up to a "reprobate mind."
He chose not to destroy Nineveh after they repented at the preaching of Jonah and later brought about the captivity of Israel and Judah due to their sins.
Then things changed. Christ came into the world to die for the sins of the world.
The Apostle PAUL said "God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them...llChor 5:19
He is not destroying nations now but he does allow the natural physics of the world to continue. That is why we still have typhoons, tornados and tidal waves.
If man builds a city in harm's way or on the edge of the tectonic plates it is not God's fault that the city is destroyed when the plates shift or a tidal wave or if terrorists fly a plane into the city's buildings.
We don't know when or how our life will end and this is why it is important to accept Christ NOW. Redeem the time because the days are evil.
Some may not agree but that's ok. I can handle it. God cannot be blamed for this.
Agree with you to, that is why scripture says be ready to meet God at any given moment.
Ya never know when ya gonna go.
Best to start and end every day as if it were your last.
No one expected the earth to shift and a wave of water to smite out so many lives.....of those lives how many were living it as if they were ready to meet there maker.
Example:
I tell the younger know it alls that while your being vindictive towards others because of jealousy and spite think....a mac truck/tsunami could take your life at that next moment and do you want to leave this life on that note?
It is so important in all our daily actions to ask what would Christ do and when we error be of a good spirit, fess up and ask for God's forgiveness.
'Cause ya never know when your last breath is coming.
