Some news articles that demonstrate our Heavenly Father punishing acts of unholiness / sin / things that violate his commands (sometimes using people, sometimes using the rest of fellow creation).
For the record,
- Luke 13:2-5 (NIV)
2 Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners
than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? 3 I tell you, no!
But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4 Or those eighteen who died
when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty
than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no! But unless you
repent, you too will all perish.”
God is slow to wrath, but there comes a point when he starts killing sinful people off and destroying sinful things.
