God Controls the Weather

Dr. Couch, are you sure the tornado that went through Minneapolis during the Lutheran Convention was from God? ANSWER:  Absolutely! Where did you get that what happens in His world is simply an accident? You didn't get that from Scripture! I gave a bunch of verses from Job that tells us the tornado (the whirlwind) comes from Him. If it was not from the Lord, then it simply happened as an accident, a freak of nature, and God was helpless to stop it. He is simply impotent! This is not from my Bible.    Job further tells us: "He sets the course for the thunderbolt" (Job 28:26), and, evil men rebelled against Him and "He gave their crops to the grasshopper, ... He destroyed their vines with hailstones, He gave over their cattle also to the hailstones, and their herds to bolts of lightning, ..." (Psa. 78:41-48). "He commands the lightning to strike its mark" (Job 36:33). God speaks in the whirlwind (the tornado) and says "who instructs Me?" (38:1-3).     Can men judge uprightly? God can "sweep them away with a tornado. ... The righteous will rejoice when he sees [God's] vengeance" (Psa. 58:9-10). "What the wicked fears will come upon him, ... When the tornado passes, the wicked is no more" (Prov. 24-25). When Israel sinned "they sowed the wind, they reaped the tornado. [Then] the standing grain has no heads" [Prosperity and blessing disappear] (Hosea 8:7).    Thanks for asking.    Dr. Mal Couch
