Natural Disasters

When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come. …

I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

There will be great earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in various places, along with fearful sights and great signs from heaven.

There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves.

If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,

…and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is dismantled, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer.

I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”

“O afflicted city, lashed by storms, without solace, surely I will set your stones in antimony and lay your foundations with sapphires.
