Story behind Natural Disasters

Even if man can explain the natural disasters as part of El Niño, global warming, or some other 'natural' phenomenon, that does not keep them from being genuine signs of the end.


"The time is at hand when there will be sorrow in the world that no human balm can heal.  The Spirit of God is being withdrawn.  Disasters by sea and by land follow one another in quick succession. How frequently we hear of earthquakes and tornadoes, of destruction by fire and flood, with great loss of life and property!

"Apparently these calamities are capricious outbreaks of disorganized, unregulated forces of nature, wholly beyond the control of man; but in them all, God's purposes may be read.  They are among the agencies by which God seeks to arouse men and women to a sense of their danger".

New Signs

last weekend earthquakes in Kansas, Oklahoma and 2 in Los Angeles.
Then earthquakes this week in Chile, China, Panama, and Yellowstone in Montana.
 Now today tornados in Texas, Missouri, Kansas, and one tornado just outside of Saint Louis, Missouri.
 AND ALL OF THIS IN SEVEN DAYS!!!!! Sounds like right out of MATTHEW 24!

A Miracle in a Storm

While grocery shopping Andy noted the weather was nice except for some lightening in the west. Suddenly, in the store, Andy hurried me into the meat lockers. Protesting, I exclaimed, "We don't eat meat! What are you doing!?" Just then ceiling insulation began falling and customers were screaming, but still I did not understand that outside a horrific storm was taking place.

Driving home Andy was darting back and forth on the street to keep from hitting tree limbs strewn about. Meeting us at the back door our three pets had bugged out eyes and tongues hanging out. They looked silly, but were afraid of something that happened to the house.

The next morning we saw the problem, the top portion of the neighbor's pine tree had broken off and was sticking out of our roof like an arrow. The tree pierced the roof, but not the interior ceiling! No wonder our pets were frightened! There were over two hundred trees destroyed or damaged at the park across the street; and it is a miracle we did not lose all our big trees or home!

God's Protection in Disasters

God has protected me from many things including natural disasters.

In Alaska, in 1967, we were traveling with Uncle Morris in a motor home. On our way from Fairbanks to Anchorage we planned to camp overnight at a lake but for some reason pulled up camp and drove through the night. The next morning we learned earthquake tremors had struck Fairbanks! The Lord protected.

My hometown of Omaha has been struck by killer tornadoes numerous times. While living in that city my family home never suffered damage and always we were hours away when the storms hit. Often I wondered what future plans the Lord had for me seeing He sheltered me so many times.

In 1998 the Lord urged me to go to the crawl space due to a fast moving, severe thunderstorm headed for my home. The winds were blowing at 108 mph! Tornado sirens began blaring. While trying to remain calm I made myself comfortable on the dirt crawl space floor. While praying, a peace came over me and sensing the protection of Heavenly angels I fell asleep during the worst of the storm. Later my husband came home and the storm was over! It was just like resurrection morning! I fell asleep with the assurance of God's peace and the next thing someone was calling to awaken me.

"Great peace have they which love Thy law: and nothing shall offend them." Psalms 119:165 [KJV]

Saved from a Tornado

In 1968, when I was thirteen, Mom and Dad went to a party in another town. While they were gone a tornado warning was issued. Dad phoned, “Deb, are you alright?” I replied, “I'm pretty scared.” Dad’s immediate response was, “I'll be right home!” Dad arrived and took me back to the party with him. How great was Dad's love for me. So will Jesus come back for us at Earth's darkest hour. How great is God’s love for us!
