I said earlier in this thread that the Bible establishes very early on that God uses large-scale calamities as judgement on nations and cultures. Whether that's the case here, time will tell. I don't know this bishop's ministry so I can't say if he's a trustworthy man of God whose teaching I ought to sit up and listen to. I don't know if he's a prophet.
What I do know is, this society has drifted a long way from the pattern of life and faith that God calls for, and if God is moving in judgement against that, he will also be moving to bring us back to him.
Time will tell.
I am quite sure I'm going to be accused of hedging or obfuscation, but frankly, I'm prepared to live with that. This is what I think on the issue.
