Hurricanes, Earthquakes and the Judgment of God (3 of 3)

To answer that question we are going to see if the Bible tells us anything about God's relationship to nature, if God has ever used natural disasters and calamities to judge people before, and finally how can we find hope in all of this.

- Jeremiah 10:13 - When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightening for the rain, and he brings forth the wind from the storehouses.
- Psalm 147:8 - He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth;
- God's sovereignty ov ...
