God protects those who obey His commands....
Satan has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows.
Satan has control of all whom God does not especially guard. Satan will favor and prosper some in order to further his own designs, and he will bring trouble on others and lead men to believe it is God who is afflicting them.
…[Satan] will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation. Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great [fire storms], in fierce tornadoes, and terrific hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. …These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous.
And then Satan will persuade men that those who serve God are causing these evils. The class that have provoked the displeasure of Heaven will charge all their troubles upon those whose obedience to God’s commandments is a perpetual reproof to sinners.
It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday sabbath; that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced; and that those who present the claims of the fourth commandment, thus destroying reverence for Sunday, are troublers of the people…. [and then comes Sunday observance laws]....
Now please read Luke 21:8-28.
Are we really that close to the 2nd coming of Christ?!
