A BIBLE STUDY ABOUT DISASTERS

 

I. INTRODUCTION.

A. The Bible clearly says that God has sent disasters on the earth: the Flood, Gen. 6:7; Sodom and Gomorrah, 18:20-32; 19:13, 24, 25; the Assyrians, 2 Chron. 32:21.

B. Jerusalem itself severely punished, and good Jeremiah had to suffer with it: 36:15-17; Babylon, Dan. 5:25-28.

C. Story of Nineveh: Jonah 3:10; 4:1, 11. God had pity on the thousands who didn’t understand the truth.

D. How Jesus met the question of disasters: Luke 13:1-5; He articulated the principle of corporate guilt, corporate repentance. Repentance is a principle and a duty.

 

II. THE CHARACTER OF GOD.

A. It is love (agape): 1 John 4:8; Matt. 5:45; 1 Cor. 13.

B. Significance of the Day of Atonement: Isa. 22:12-14. This passage is “present truth” on how to live.

C. God calls for serious living on this cosmic “Day of Atonement.” Lev. 16:29-31.

D. What Revelation says about the Day of Atonement while the seventh trumpet sounds: 11:14-19; 7:1-4; 19:7, 8.

E. Christ reveals the Father’s character: John 14:7-10.

 

III. WHAT JESUS SAYS ABOUT OUR TIMES TODAY.

A. Luke 21:22-26, 32; plenty of “perplexity” now.

B. “Take heed”: vss. 34-36. “Watch, pray always.”

 

IV. OUR DUTY TO HELP IN DISASTERS. Prov. 24:10-12; Luke 10:31.

A. None of the wealth we possess is ours by right.

B. Having food and raiment, be content; share all we have beyond that: 1 Tim. 6:6-9.

 

V. GOD’S CALL TO “FLEE.... BABYLON” (Jer. 51:6; Zech. 2:7).

A. Jesus said we must “flee” wicked Jerusalem (Matt. 24:16).

B. Good people staying in wicked places will suffer (Rev. 18:4)
