Prepare to Meet Your God! (Part Seven): The Prophesied Blow Falls
Article by John W. Ritenbaugh and Richard T. RitenbaughBy refusing to repent of their apostasy from God's way of life, the Israelites faced the fearsome punishment of being vomited out by the land. God shows a connection between nature and human morality, indicating that natural disasters are acts of God in response to the moral condition of the people. If men treat others, created in the image of God, in an immoral way, they will similarly abuse the land, forests, rivers, lakes, and oceans with no fear of reprisal. But God declares that the environment will fight back and vomit them out. Instead of rain falling gently, it will roar like an avalanche until the inhabitants cannot cope. Rivers will swell and flood the land in anger, washing topsoil into the sea. Fire will sweep over forests and farmlands, destroying everything in its path. Windstorms like hurricanes and tornadoes will devastate cities and countryside, endangering lives and livelihoods. Earthquakes will increase in frequency and power, costing thousands of lives and billions in damage. These disasters will mount to such intensity that the people of modern Israel may seek repentance, but it will be too late. God will not pass by anymore. When the land begins to vomit the people out, they may show a belated interest in God and His truth, but the destruction will not be stopped.
