The Bible sheds light on whether God sends natural disasters to punish mankind today and on what is behind the sufferings that so many experience. This can be done by examining the patterns provided by the Scriptures, which patterns involve a couple of events in the past that have to do with flood and drought.
We will take note of three things that God has provided when he used natural forces to execute his judgments:
1. a warning
2. a reason
3. protection for obedient worshippers
