Job 1:18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house. 19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
It's funny, that hurricanes and tornadoes are now listed as acts of God, while the one who brought the tornado upon Job’s children, while they were having a birthday party, and destroyed their home, is never even considered as the real culprit. Thus, Job’s wife in response says curse God and die.
Thus, adverse circumstances that come our way are blamed on God and a personal responsibility for our actions is effectively removed. Thus, questions such as “Where is God” and “Why me” are asked by folks and often answered with the erroneous conclusion, that God is somehow doing these evils unto us.
God’s character is to be fully vindicated as we draw closer to earth’s final crisis, and even though we are to warn others that His judgment will be meted out at some point after the close of probation, the evils, calamities and perplexities which are upon the land are to be understood to a great extent, as being the results of man’s own doing.
Isaiah 24:5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
