How can we tell if they're bad theories or not? God's ways are not our ways. He's done it before. Flood, plagues, smitings, etc. Who says he won't do it again?

Note that some smitings have taken place in the "age of grace": Ananias and Sapphira, and some who take communion unworthily.

Exactly right. Also note these examples are those who were in the Church. Would he not judge the ungodly who provoke him? Herod was killed for taking praise instead of giving it to God. Bar jesus was struck blind through the Holy Spirit at Pauls word.

These are just examples of what God does.

Are all "natural" disasters God's judgement or warning for something?
