A Great Response

I thought this was interesting...

The tragedy of the Tsunami was that it had nothing to do with people fighting wars or killing each other. It was an event in nature generated by the movements of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust... that's all.[/quote]
"The Bible contains many stern warnings that the end of this era will be filled with such sudden disasters, both "natural" and man-caused. The earth will actually "reel to and fro like a drunkard" when the final judgment falls, according to the great prophet Isaiah (24:20). That this can actually occur was illustrated by the 9.0 Asian tectonic plate shift, which NASA scientists said caused the entire planet to wobble for a millisecond and to tilt about an inch on its axis. " quote from David Dolan in Jerusalem

Isaiah 24:20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, And shall totter like a hut; Its transgression shall be heavy upon it, And it will fall, and not rise again.

"Why should busy modern humans pay any attention to historic warning words from a bunch of long-dead Hebrew prophets? The main reason in my estimation is because they also revealed that the Jewish people would be scattered to the four corners of the earth, and then regathered to their ancient homeland in the "last days" just before the foretold worldwide judgments would fall (Isaiah 11, Jeremiah 31-33, Ezekiel 36-37, etc.).

I am writing these words from my desk in the growing rebuilt city of Jerusalem. Out my front window I see the nearby office towers and hotels that dot the skyline of Israel's bustling capital city. Jerusalem is not far from Ben Gurion airport, where the Jewish ingathering continues—despite enormous obstacles—almost every day." David Dolan in Jerusalem

How can this be, Friend?

What has it to do with wars and people killing people?

The tragedy of the Tsunami was that it had nothing to do with people fighting wars or killing each other. It was an event in nature generated by the movements of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust... that's all.

I'm inclined to agree with Blue on this.

How would killing more people on one side of the earth stop others from fighting on the other point of the earth? Did Bush suddenly pull out of Iraq? Did people all over the world drop their weapons and rush to Asia to help? No,they didn't. People kill each other every day and continue to do so. We just don't hear about it.

In my humble opinion, I don't think if there was any greater aim in this disaster at all (in my humble opinion there most likely wasn't- but who knows), that preventing human beings from killing one another was it.

That being said, I agree with Friend that there is a lesson to be learned from this - life is short, fragile, and priceless-and we should cherish it and respect it, while we can.

Still, I think a lot of people (I've heard so many people start preaching about end times and this being the Devil's doing to me I've started just ignoring the subject...lol) tend to read too much into such events.

Just my two cents worth...
