Featured Did God Use Natural Disastors For Exodus Event?

Nevermind.

indeed.

 

What would be the reason to attribute the events in Egypt to God using the natural event of a volcano in the Mediterranean Sea?

 

That sure is a fire & brimstone question!

 

There is evidence that volcanic activity has changed the climate world-wide. This is all according to Divine Plan. The problem comes when we attribute such things to Natural Laws to the exclusion of Divine Providence. God did it or allowed it, that settles it. A lot of so-called intelligent people do not believe in Lord God--Jehovah, creator, savior. This is not a new situation. Noah preached for 120 years. Only eight found grace. God shut the door. A lot of folk have problems with this global, Divine Event as well.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

At the end of the day (to quote a cliche) every nano second will be shown to have brought glory to God.

Time itself is a miracle - it keeps everything from happening at once.

That is not to deny the specialness of "miracles" as described in the scripture or as Ann has pointed out.

My opinion of course.

Time is God having marked off eternity for man. We have dimensions beside x,y,z an time. There are spiritual dimensions which cannot be duplicated in a laboratory. Man has split a second into at least 10 to the minus 18 --an attosecond. That is certainly more digits than my Timex would indicate. Going the other way man really gets confused. Time is the key ingredient in the evolution equation. Strange, the statistical probability of a simple, single living cell having come from dead elements is greater than 1 in 10 to the exa power--10 to the eighteenth. (Statistically impossible, yet such is taught as a fact in the hallowed halls of science education.)

Apostle Peter gave some insight regarding time: A day is a thousand years and a thousand years is a day--in God's time. Given that equation, it has not yet been two days since Jesus was here. We are coming up on the end of the sixth day. The next day is rest--with Jesus in control.

Are we ready?

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

I am definitely with your way of thinking about time Bro. James.

We are at the dawning.

Yes, as a matter of principle and practice, God can and does use natural events to work his will.

I was wondering, though, if you thought there was something in the text that would suggest looking for such a natural event in the Exodus from Egypt miracles. I haven't found anything that would suggest it, so it seems there is no reason to look for it unless trying to satisfy the "less miracly-inclined."

 

God does so in order to let us lean on Him. In times of trouble and need and want. As He wants our faith to grow in and with Him.

 

The Egyptians didn't think they were natural events.

 

Excellent point.
