By The Associated Press -. SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) – Hurricane Sandy has been blamed for at least 69 deaths in the Caribbean
Sandy Now Largest Atlantic Storm Ever...Hurricane Sandy, the largest tropical system recorded in the Atlantic, strengthened as it began making the transition to a superstorm that may push a wall of water ashore in the Northeast and lash the East with wind, rain and snow.
The US stock exchange has been closed so far this week, many businesses in the East are not open that otherwise would be, and there is flooding in many places. And people have died. Plus, the Caribbean still has residual issues from this storm. The storm is even having affects on the USA presidential election. Pray for people and that God’s will will be done.
In a co-worker letter from LCG’s Dr. Meredith earlier this year was the following:
Thousands of years ago, God warned of the sobering consequences of rejecting Him and His commandments. “I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. And your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its produce…” (Leviticus 26:19-20). “Therefore the land will mourn; and everyone who dwells there will waste away with the beasts of the field…” (Hosea 4:3). God wants to bless those He created in His image, but disobedience forces Him to remove His blessings and protection (verses 1-7). God does control the weather and yearns for His people to return to Him so that He can once again bless them with “rain in due season” (Leviticus 26:1-4, KJV). For more information on extreme weather conditions, review our insightful booklet, Who Controls the Weather?Will the United States, Canada, Britain and Australia truly repent and turn to the God of the Bible before more devastating droughts, floods, earthquakes and other natural catastrophes strike? Will we repent of what God Almighty calls the “vile passions” of homosexuality, when “men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting” (Romans 1:26-28)?
National repentance is the only hope now for the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. And as far as the storm goes, prayer and physical preparations can and should be done (see also Superstorm Expected: What Can You Do?).
Prior to all of this, Dr. Meredith wrote:
So we must each examine our own situation to determine what action we should take. Are we living in a low-lying coastal area where we may be in danger at a time of increasing hurricanes, tsunamis or similar natural disasters? Do we have at least a week’s supply of emergency food and water, flashlight batteries, a first-aid kit, a battery-powered radio, prescription medications and other essential items? Have we read the instructions from our nation or region about how to prepare for such emergencies as hurricanes, earthquakes or terrorists attacks? (Meredith RC. Are You Prepared. Tomorrow’s World, Jan-Feb 2005)
Put aside some food and store some water…Bad times are coming, have some supplies (Meredith RC. Prophecy Overview. Sermon, July 19, 2008).
Get extra food, dried food, and water…When these things happen, maybe God’s people can survive longer…It’s good to be prudent (Meredith RC. Do you actually live by faith? Sermon, April 25, 2009).
And preparation certainly makes a lot of sense. Increasingly worsening weather and storms have long been expected and seem to be happening. More will as well. These difficult times should get people’s attention.
