Were you in Japan? Do you know any Japanese Preachers? And just because a prophecy is fulfilled certainly does not mean people will accept one as a Prophet. I have a journal of my walk with Christ where many things the Lord has shown me have come to pass.

God gave neniva 40 days , with the world wide web, you better believe we would have heard some one proclaiming the destruction of Japan

Look how long Jeremiah preached, against israel and Isaiah.

I know God does Big things in Big ways, and always Ties repentance to it


look God said he would even spare jerusalem over One rightous person

New International Version (©1984)
"Go up and down the streets of Jerusalem, look around and consider, search through her squares. If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth, I will forgive this city.

in the end there was none so the destruction came but there was much much much warning

Where you? Do you have specific knowledge of a prophet in Japan warning everyone and being dismissed as a nut?

Why can Harold Camping make international news but the prophet in Japan that warned Japan of this earthquake/tsunami is to this day unheard of, except for you?

Re: Yes It Was God

Hey cool guys,
all natural disasters are from GOD.

Everything HE does is good.
Everything HE ALLOWS is good.

He's GOD.
He could have not let it happen, but HE did.


We can specualte why, but there's no specualtion as to WHO is behind the scenes weaving the fabric our existences.

God can and does bring good out of tragedies.

I don't want to trivialize his suffering or your loss-- or the suffering and loss of anyone in any terrible circumstance past or current.

However, the belief in the existence of an Almighty, All Power, Sovereign Father, Savior and Guide necessitates that realization that in good and in bad, our GOD has it ALL in control.

Even when it's not fair to our judgment.

Re: Yes It Was God

Jesus said He did not come into the world to condemn it.

I was wondering what this Scripture means and if it's relevant to this discussion?


Eph 2:2

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air,

That's not the same thing as saying everything God does, including allowing things to happen, is good.

"Everything HE does is good.
Everything HE ALLOWS is good."

Bible says all Good things come from the father above


james 1;17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

i dont believe and illness and sickness would be in that catergory.

i do believe God Knows and allows things to happen, but it doesnt mean He brought it upon people

If it's bad and it happens, did evil somehow trump God?
Did satan sneak a fast one behind God's back?
When the tornadoes struck Joplin, was God's master switchboard for earth malfunctioning?
When bad things happen here on earth, is God's Hands up in the air in exasperation declaring, "I just don't know what to do?"
