Question

Natural Disasters...is the amount of natural disasters in one week a sign or just coincidence?

Answer 1

Coincidence.  Bad things happen.

Remember the really big tsunami in Indonesia?

Answer 2

A sign from who?  A sign implies an intelligent entity who's making the signs.  If you don't believe in such an entity then you don't believe in signs.

If you're asking if it's indicative that we're going to start having a lot more natural disasters, it would take a lot more than a week of increased frequency for that.  Remember when we talk about natural disasters we're talking about geologic time scales.  It takes more than a week or a month or even a year of natural disasters to bring the million-year-average up.

Every single generation since the bible was written has thought they were on the verge of the end of the world, and they've all been wrong.  You're no different.

If you were as familiar with the bible as you pretend to be you'd know that it says no human will know when the end times are coming, so there will be no signs to tip you off that it's about to happen.

I don't even believe in the bible and I know this.

Answer 3

Coincidences are examples of God's sense of humor in one of the way with which He communicates.  All natural disasters are signs to each one of us that we could die at any time.  Maybe you ought to repent on a daily basis.

Answer 4

Is not coincidence. It has nothing to do with God, etc. I believe there is something moving down there, is nature, the earth is going through another of it is changes.

Answer 5

I truly believe with the current events and the worsening of many things that we are entering the beginning of the pre-tribulation years in the world.

Frankly, I don't care who laughs at this comment either.

Glad you were HONEST enough to ask though.....

BTW, in the Book of Daniel 7 in the Bible, we are the eagle that is getting it's wings plucked right now......

I really like these folks on here that think Gods actions is a coincidence.........LOL....LOL....

Answer 6

Coincidence.

Answer 7

It is just coincidence.  If it continued over a longer period of time, then it would become a trend and would signify that something has changed.

Answer 8

The triggering events for the disasters are coincidental.  However, whether an event is a disaster or not depends on the number of people who are exposed to it.  As the population rises, more events will be disasters simply because more people are harmed.
