Both are extremely offensive to Him. He can tolerate it only so long before letting REAPING WHAT WAS SOWN is allowed to kick in.
The people dying aren't the corrupt ones in office they have escaped with their full pockets. What about those in MS was it sent there because of sinful casinos? What about fires & quakes in Calif.? Aids? All sent to sinners? Kinda like firing a shotgun into a crowd because of one bad person..lots of Innocent people get killed or hurt.
Same thing was said about the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906. "'The Lord sent it, the Lord!' Hard to believe an all powerful and all compassionate God sent this disaster because some have reaped what they sown..what about the rest, did they sow this? I'm not convinced.
I have questioned God no little bit about why not a more precise miraculous message to evil doers.
He seems to have reminded me that throughout history He has chosen to do it this way.
I'm reminded that people TEND as a group--to get the kind of government they deserve.
In any case, I'm not really in a position to tell God He is doing it wrong. Help yourself.
I also believe that those with truly Good Hearts toward God, so called 'innocents'--that all such have extra grace in their moments of suffering and at their moment of death.
God DOES ALL THINGS WELL.
Even disasters and suffering.
He *IS* HOLY. The world is set to learn much more about the long neglected awe and reverential fear of God.
