Whether some of you realize it or not, our nation has been slip sliding away for literally decades. However, the slide has been so slow, so gradual, and so subtle, that it wasn't until about halfway through the decade of the 2010s that a lot of people really began to wake up to what has been going on. However, sadly, by that time, it was already too late. Serious damage had already been done, and the victory had already been won. What has been going on since then basically amounts to mopping up exercises and tying up the loose ends. And boy are they doing a good job of it! So exactly what am I talking about? Well, do you remember a few decades ago -- back in the 1970s, actually -- when the LGBT crowd began claiming that they just wanted to be left alone to live their lives as they please? Fast-forward forty years. Then came gender reassignment surgery. Then came renegade, liberal circuit court judges who repeatedly overturned the will of the people. Then came renegade, liberal state legislatures who likewise overturned the will of the people. Then came civil unions. Then on June 26, 2015 came nationwide legalization of same-sex "marriage" by mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States, despite the majority of the American people being opposed to it. Then came openly gay or lesbian bishops, pastors, priests, politicians, actors, sports figures, and everyone in between. Then came same-sex union blessings in some of the churches. Then came adoption of normal, healthy children by same-sex couples. Then came law suits against Christians and Conservatives who follow their hearts and their faith, and who oppose the LGBT life style. Then came library books which openly promote the LGBT life style. Then came gender-neutral bathrooms. Then came drag queens in our public schools during children's story hour. Then came teaching LGBT history in the classroom. Then came liberal parents who encourage their children to act and dress like the opposite sex. Then came hormone injections, puberty-blocking drugs in young children and double mastectomies on adolescent girls in order to alter their natural-born physiology so that they could appear outwardly the way that they were being made to feel inwardly by misguided adults and parents. Then came a gender-neutral option on birth certificates. Now they promote their ungodly life style in every area of the entertainment and mass media industries where they possibly can, and constantly shove it in our faces. It is inescapable; unless one goes and lives in a cave. Yes, but of course, as they said, they just wanted to be left alone. Right? If you believe that nonsense, then you are seriously deceived! What about us? What about our right to live in a Bible-based, God-fearing society which honors and obeys God's natural order of things? How much longer will God endure this madness and rebellion against His holy Laws? When will His patience finally run out? When will His judgments begin to fall on the wicked who mock Him everyday, and who cast His Word to the ground? As the Apostle John wrote some two thousand years ago: "And‭ we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness." 1 John 5:19, KJV If John were alive today, oh how he would shudder! If you would like to further explore this issue, please consider reading all of the study resources which are listed below. God bless you, and thanks so much!

We should NOT remain the same, living our same old life style, and living in our same old sins. That means that people who belong to the LGBTQ crowd should NOT continue practicing their sexual deviancy.

FEED GOD'S SHEEP -- KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List

FEED GOD'S SHEEP -- KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List KJV Bible verse list compiled by #BillKochman for #BillsBibleBasics. Topic: "Feed God's Sheep". Visit https://www.billkochman.com/VerseLists/ to see all my lists.

"So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep." John 21:15-17, KJV "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood." Acts 20:28, KJV "Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over Gods heritage, but being ensamples to the flock." 1 Peter 5:2-3, KJV "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." Revelation 7:16-17, KJV "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock. The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them. Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them." Ezekiel 34:2-10, KJV

"Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil." Proverbs 4:25-27, KJV "Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?" Galatians 5:7, KJV "Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain." Philippians 2:16, KJV "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14, KJV "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown: but we an incorruptible: I therefore so run, not as uncertainly: so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway." 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, KJV "For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:6-8, KJV "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith: who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds." Hebrews 12:1-3, KJV ". . . be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." Revelation 2:10b, KJV "And, behold, I come quickly: and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." Revelation 22:12, KJV

JESUS IS THE GOOD SHEPHERD -- KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List KJV Bible verse list compiled by #BillKochman for #BillsBibleBasics. Topic: "Jesus is the Good Shepherd". Visit https://www.billkochman.com/VerseLists/ to see all my lists.

"[A Psalm of David.] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." Psalm 23:1, KJV "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left." Matthew 25:31-33, KJV "Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad." Matthew 26:31, KJV "But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice . . . Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them . . . I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." John 10:2-4, 7-8, 11-16, KJV "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant," Hebrews 13:20, KJV "For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls." 1 Peter 2:25, KJV

Whether some of you realize it or not, our nation has been slip sliding away for literally decades. However, the slide has been so slow, so gradual, and so subtle, that it wasn't until about halfway through the decade of the 2010s that a lot of people really began to wake up to what has been going on. However, sadly, by that time, it was already too late. Serious damage had already been done, and the victory had already been won. What has been going on since then basically amounts to mopping up exercises and tying up the loose ends. And boy are they doing a good job of it! So exactly what am I talking about? Well, do you remember a few decades ago -- back in the 1970s, actually -- when the LGBT crowd began claiming that they just wanted to be left alone to live their lives as they please? Fast-forward forty years. Then came gender reassignment surgery. Then came renegade, liberal circuit court judges who repeatedly overturned the will of the people. Then came renegade, liberal state legislatures who likewise overturned the will of the people. Then came civil unions. Then on June 26, 2015 came nationwide legalization of same-sex "marriage" by mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States, despite the majority of the American people being opposed to it. Then came openly gay or lesbian bishops, pastors, priests, politicians, actors, sports figures, and everyone in between. Then came same-sex union blessings in some of the churches. Then came adoption of normal, healthy children by same-sex couples. Then came law suits against Christians and Conservatives who follow their hearts and their faith, and who oppose the LGBT life style. Then came library books which openly promote the LGBT life style. Then came gender-neutral bathrooms. Then came drag queens in our public schools during children's story hour. Then came teaching LGBT history in the classroom. Then came liberal parents who encourage their children to act and dress like the opposite sex. Then came hormone injections, puberty-blocking drugs in young children and double mastectomies on adolescent girls in order to alter their natural-born physiology so that they could appear outwardly the way that they were being made to feel inwardly by misguided adults and parents. Then came a gender-neutral option on birth certificates. Now they promote their ungodly life style in every area of the entertainment and mass media industries where they possibly can, and constantly shove it in our faces. It is inescapable; unless one goes and lives in a cave. Yes, but of course, as they said, they just wanted to be left alone. Right? If you believe that nonsense, then you are seriously deceived! What about us? What about our right to live in a Bible-based, God-fearing society which honors and obeys God's natural order of things? How much longer will God endure this madness and rebellion against His holy Laws? When will His patience finally run out? When will His judgments begin to fall on the wicked who mock Him everyday, and who cast His Word to the ground? As the Apostle John wrote some two thousand years ago: "And‭ we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness." 1 John 5:19, KJV If John were alive today, oh how he would shudder!

Sample Facebook Friend Request Rejection Message

Dear friends, if you are like me -- that is, if you are very particular regarding from whom you accept a friend request -- sometimes, for a variety of reasons, you may have to turn down someone's friend request. But how do you do it? What do you say to that person? Well, in some cases, you may simply decide to ignore the friend request altogether, and not do anything. That is, other than delete the request. I myself have done this on quite a few occasions when it is apparent that the account is bogus; or it is plain to see that the timeline is promoting porn with links that say "See my nude photos here"; or maybe it is dark and devilish in nature; or perhaps the page is filled with a liberal dose of expletives; or it simply caters to topics in which you have zero interest. But in other cases, you may feel that the person who is making the request merits some kind of response from you. In such cases, personally, I feel that honesty is the best policy. Just tell them bluntly why you cannot accept their friend request. If they are offended, or become angry, and march off in a fit of self-righteous indignation, after letting you have it with both barrels via a private message, oh well. At least they know the truth regarding why you turned them down. Anyway, for those of you who are likewise God-fearing, Bible-believing Christians, and who primarily use your Facebook pages and timelines to promote the Gospel, following is a sample friend request decline message, which you may want to use as a guide, editing parts of it as you see fit. This is based on an actual message which I myself had to send to someone: ----- Begin Sample Message ----- Thank you for your friend request. I appreciate your interest in becoming Facebook friends with me. However, I am sorry to say that your timeline appears to be more about [place your description here], than about promoting Jesus Christ and the Christian faith. Just so you know, when I scrutinize and vet a new friend request, I consider what my other Facebook friends will see, if they decide to visit that timeline. After all, the kinds of online friends I have is a reflection of my faith, and my own personality. So, I must be careful. Will my friends find something that will uplift and inspire their faith, or will they find something objectionable or offensive? Yes, like everyone else, I have my views regarding [place your description here] as well, which I sometimes express on my timeline and page. However, I do not constantly dwell on those issues, as you appear to do. My timeline and Facebook page are primarily dedicated to uplifting God, sharing His Word, and encouraging and motivating my Christian brethren. So, I am sorry to inform you, but your timeline just doesn't pass the test. As such, in good conscience, I cannot accept your offer, and I feel led to decline your request. Perhaps if you decide to devote more time to promoting the Christian Gospel, I will change my mind at a later date, and accept a new friend request from you. [You can add any other reasons regarding why you are declining their request in this space.] ----- End Sample Message ----- Your Timeline; Your Rules: Let me add that who you accept or decline as a friend is a very personal matter. We each have our own set of criteria. Some of us are more liberal in that regard than others. Some of you may exercise a certain degree of leniency which others may not, simply because you are more geared towards reaching the lost and the unsaved, and not just about online fellowship between Christians who are already saved. It is really your choice. It is your timeline, so you make the rules. My Personal Approach: I will say this: I really take it as far as I can before I decide to turn down a friend request. I try to be as lenient as possible. I look for every possible indication to see if that potential friend has some interest in our Christian faith. That is, if it is not already apparent on their timeline or page. For example, I will look at the status updates which they post. I will examine the frequency with which they [and not others] post on their timeline. I will look at what kind of comments they make. I will look at the contents of the images which they post. If I can't tell outright that they are a Christian, then I will also look more closely at their photo albums. I will look at their About page. I will look at their friends list to determine if they have a lot of other friends who appear to be Christians, going by their profile images. I will also look to see if they have joined any Christian Facebook groups, or if they are associated with any kind of Christian groups, churches, organizations, etc., in their real offline life. So again, I do try to give folks the benefit of the doubt. However, if I don't become convinced that they would make a worthy addition to my friends list, and be a positive influence on my other Facebook friends, then I simply don't accept their friend request. If all they do is talk about politics, or about aliens and UFOs, or unproven conspiracy theories, or environmentalism, or social justice, or some other cause which they support, or if they are into nothing but worldliness -- such as fashion, celeb gossip, playing online games, selling items, sports, etc. -- and I see nothing about promoting Christianity, or at least having a sincere interest in learning about the Christian faith, then I am not inclined to accept their friend request. The same holds true if their timeline or page is full of nothing but selfies. I have come across quite a few timelines like that over the years. They are basically just a long stream of images of themselves in different poses, and with different expressions on their face, and not much of anything else. They seem to be totally in love with themselves. I guess they don't have room for Jesus and the Christian faith in their lives; or at least they don't wish to express their faith openly on their timeline. How sad. One other thing I look at is how often a person likes to share content from other timelines, pages and sources. If they don't, or if they do it very infrequently, then I assume that most of my work will never appear on their timeline. I am a preacher of the Gospel. I want what I do spread far and wide, and to reach and influence as many people as possible, for the Glory of God. If there is little possibility of that happening on their timeline, then that just gives me another reason to withhold accepting a friend request from them. Yes, we have an obligation to reach the lost with the Christian Gospel. However, the fact of the matter is that they can still gain access to the Good News, simply by visiting my page or my timeline, WITHOUT me accepting their friend request, because my page and timeline are both public. Likewise, my BBB group is open for anyone to join. Thus, the Gospel is being preached to them, if they truly wish to hear it, or read it. On a final note, let me also add that since joining the Facebook community in February of 2011, I have had way more people -- no doubt in the hundreds by now -- who have unfriended me, than I have chosen to not accept a friend request from. As I have mentioned before, since joining Facebook, I have constantly had between 4,000 and 5,000 friends at all times. Furthermore, they are of many different nationalities. In fact, only a minority are white American Christians. I think these facts alone reveal what kind of a person I am. So, contrary to what some of my critics would like to believe, I am not just a cold-hearted, callous tyrant. Oh, and also, most of my current friends are people who sent friend requests to me, and not vice versa. I like people who take the initiative. :) https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/sample-facebook-friend-request-rejection-message/?feed_id=57698&_unique_id=644ea997763e4&Sample%20Facebook%20Friend%20Request%20Rejection%20Message

GOD SHAKES THE EARTH -- KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List

GOD SHAKES THE EARTH -- KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List KJV Bible verse list compiled by #BillKochman for #BillsBibleBasics. Topic: "God Shakes the Earth". Visit https://www.billkochman.com/VerseLists/ to see all my lists.

For anyone who doubts that God Himself is behind earthquakes and other so-called "natural disasters", and that He is the one who causes the Earth to shake in His displeasure, then I ask you to seriously consider the following verses. There is no need for any attempts at private interpretation, as they speak plainly for themselves: "The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth." Isaiah 2:11-21, KJV "Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger." Isaiah 13:9-13, KJV "Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground." Ezekiel 38:14-20, KJV "Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel." Joel 3:14-16, KJV "For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts." Haggai 2:6-7, KJV "And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying, Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth; And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother." Haggai 2:20-22, KJV "See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven." Hebrews 12:25-26, KJV "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" Revelation 6:12-17, KJV "And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake." Revelation 8:5, KJV "And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail." Revelation 11:13-19, KJV "And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great." Revelation 16:18, KJV God's Word has clearly spoken concerning this issue. If anyone tries to convince you that earthquakes and other catastrophic events are only "natural disasters" which have nothing to do with God, do not believe them, because they are either misguided due to their ignorance of God's Word, or else they are intentionally rebelling against the truth of God's Word, and trying to deceive you.
