S4-64 COPING WITH & RESPONDING TO JUDGMENT

Brother Singh stresses that sin is the cause of God’s judgment. Controlling or managing the environment is impossible because God permits nature to rebel against humanity’s sin. Fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and tornadoes are not in man’s control. God holds His people accountable for their conduct in the land within which they reside. When entering the Promised Land, “the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ‘Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God. After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do, and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.” (Leviticus 18:1-4).
