Scripture
Isaiah 24: 4-5 “The earth dries up, the crops wither, the skies refuse to rain. The earth suffers for the sins of its people for they have twisted the instructions of God, violated his laws, and broken his everlasting covenant.”
Observation
Isaiah is prophesying against the ungodly nations of his time. God is sending judgment on certain peoples. God is a loving God but He is also a righteous, holy, just God. God cannot wink or ignore injustice. His character causes him to act. One of God’s judgments is natural disasters. Here we see a famine is sent to the land because of the people’s sin. The earth dries up, the crops wither, and there is no rain. Why? The earth suffers because the people twist God’s Word, sin against him, and break their sacred promises. I don’t think we understand the power of the spiritual world. When the people sin, the spiritual world is disrupted and it has natural consequences. That would be an interesting Bible study.
Application
If God judged nations in the past, will he judge nations today? Will God judge
