No More Disasters!

 If humans cannot control natural disasters, who can?  The Bible identifies our Creator  as the one to make this change. He is the One who put the earth's ecological  systems, such as the water cycle, in place.  (Ecclesiastes 1:7) And in sharp contrast with humans, God has unlimited power at his disposal.  Testifying to this fact, the prophet Jeremiah said:  "O Sovereign Lord Jehovah!  Here you yourself have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm.  The whole matter is not too wonderful for you yourself." (Jeremiah 32:17)  Since God made the earth and all its elements, logically he knows how to manage things so that people can dwell on it in peace and security. -PSALM 37:11; 115:16. 

How, then, will God bring about the needed change? You will recall that the second of this series of articlers mentioned that many terrifying things taking place on the earth today make up a "sign" marking the conclusion of the system of th ings."  Jesus said:  "When you see these things occurring , know that the Kingdom of God is near." (Matthew 24:2; Luke 21:31) The Kingdom of God, a heavenly government of God's making will bring about big changes on the earth, even bringing natural elements under control. Though Jehovah God has the power to do this himself, he has chosen to delegate the task to his Son. Speaking of this one, the prophet Daniel said: "To him there were given rulership and dignity and kingdom, that the peoples, national groups and languages should all serve eveb him." - DANIEL 7:14.
