Hurricane Katrina

[Starforsaken]

Is it just me or does it seem every year we get worse natural disasters then the year before. Granted I havent been on earth that long to really know these things but it just seems weird to me. Florida hit last year, tsunami, volcanoes re-errupting, earth quakes all over the place. Last I heard with hurricane katrina is that by morning theres a possibility that some cities may be non existent. I belive they said this was one of the strongest storms ever.

Where are you going with this?

 

[Starforsaken]

hmm take one guess. birth pangs.

 

[Yekcidmij]

I guessed right then. I have a question though(or 2 questions with the same meaning ). Is Christ's second coming foreshadowed by a series of events? Does certain things have to happen before He returns?

Thanks,

Well, 7 years of tribulation must precede his coming.

My Biblical guess is that Hurricane Katrina is God's judgment for Bush supporting Israel giving back Gaza - for what? nothing!

 

[E_Powers]

for what it is worth scientist beleave the climate is changing and that hurricane will become more frequent and more intense for decades if not centuries to come wether this is an indicator to the second comming of christ, it remains to be seen. and only God knows if there is a connection.

And why do people assume when a natural disaster hits, it is an indicator to Gods judgment? that is like saying God crucified Jesus on the cross. Hello he didnt crucify Jesus, man did. He dont cause natural disasters man does with sin.

Well, 7 years of tribulation must precede his coming.

Well, first of all, does that take away from the Bible teaching that Christ could return at any time? I mean, is there a 7 year warning so to say? And if there is, wouldn't that be the same as setting a date? Im just asking, not trying to steer the conversation or anything.

Interesting thought. Could it also be that Katrina would have headed for the US no matter what Bush did? I guess I'll never know.

My head is about to explode from thinking too much, sorry for the trouble.

What did the poor citizens of New Orleans have to do with Gaza? Is God's aim so bad? Was He aiming for Crawfordsville, or Washington D.C.? That makes no sense. I might as well blame my gout attacks on Bush supporting Israel giving back Gaza.

I don't know much about New Orleans. Are there many strip club places or dens of iniquity? I doubt he appreciates Mardi Gras

They are saying this is a once in a life time storm. I doubt it, I bet well be seeing this kind of thing happening a lot more frequently in the coming years.

Poppycock! Hurricane Katrina is God's punishment to us for tolertaing "ministers" like Pat Robertson who preach the heresy of a pre-trib rapture and call for the assassination of foreign leaders. Isarel withdrawing from Gaza was a righteous act on their part, and ALL intelligent people applaud it!!!

Yeah, Camille was also a "once in a lifetime" storm. But both Camille and Katrina happened in my lifetime...hmmm.

Who, exactly, is saying that? Hurricane Andrew back in 1992 was far worse than either Katrina or Frances of last year, and Andrew happened 13 years ago.

I doubt it, I bet well be seeing this kind of thing happening a lot more frequently in the coming years.

There's no reason to think that. The National Hurricane Center provides data that proves quite the contrary; that hurricane activity is not on the rise in the US. The period with the most activity was between 1930 - 1960. The numbers don't lie.

So if Katrina was a punishment for Bush just "supporting" the Gaza pullout, then where is the punishment for Sharon and Israel, the ones that actually gave back Gaza? Isn't God supposed to punish the ones who actually commit a crime, if in fact the Gaza pullout was wrong?

Isn't the obvious reason for Hurricane Katrina the fact that it's hurricane season? It happens every year like clockwork, and has been happening for thousands of years prior to the Gaza pullout. Hurricanes in America's SouthEast are seasonal; God's judgments are not. Sorry, newlamb, but your guess is far from biblical.

Yep and we ain't seen nothin yet.

It's going to get to the point where mens hearts will fail them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth.

Do you see the figures Acts posted?

When man fell in sin and was cursed, the creation also was cursed(earth) ! So, as man grows worse and worse in sin , the creation is getting worse and worse ! hurricanes, earthquakes, seasonal changes, temperatures, droughts ,pestilences, etc. Just my 2 cents worth !!!

Jesus is Lord !!!!

I just read that the French Quarter of New Orleans was spared a great deal of destruction from the hurricane, and the French Quarter is were the debaucheries of Mardi Gras takes place. In fact, many of the Quarter's residents even went to bars to celebrate their good fortune.

So if God sent the hurricane to punish Louisiana for Mardi Gras then He missed His target; it would be like sending fire and brimestone upon Sodom and Gomorrah but leaving the cities virtually unscathed.
