The earth is made by God perfectly. It was never like this before in the sense that there were no troubles, calamities or all things of such. I know you must be thinking about the time of Noah and it is explained here that it is a global flood and one of the ways to end the world then which brought about the New Testament.
Well, a flood can also be known as a natural disaster.
In the book of Genesis 7:11, the Bible tells us about Noah and says, In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life , in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were open.
These disasters are mostly insinuated by human transgression. The things we do is one of the reasons that causes natural disasters. God is not a wicked God and he does not want the death of a sinner but after too much sins here and there, it sometimes causes natural disaster and a lot of people get affected and this is when some people run back to God to start begging him because they don’t want to die.
Then, God will only save a few people who are being good and that’s why God called upon Noah when the flood was about to happen so that Noah will build an arc and save his family.
It’s written here in Genesis 6:13 and says, And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth
This shows that God is aware of natural disasters but they are caused by the behaviors of we human so we all have to work on our sins and try to change and become better humans.
Glory be to God and thank God for today’s lecture.
