What an Ameri-centric viewpoint.

Is it? Care to give me a crash course in human migration patterns?

Things like this happen all the time.
War, famine, plague, earthquakes. It is not difficult to predict things that always happen.

They have not happened on this scale. This administration is America's final warning. Unfortunately most of us do not learn from the past. We have a whole Bible telling us what other civilizations went through and instead of looking at is as the guide that it is, we want to focus on whether Adam and Eve were real people. Does it matter? I was able to come up with a calendar using passages from Enoch. None of the names of the seasons in the book are names I recognized. In fact, I found the names confusing as hell. Then I realized the names weren't important. I was supposed to focus on what was being described. Then I found that what was being described could be observed in reality, and that's when I understood how to make the calendar. Reality and nature then served as the "witness" to the text's truth. Because what was written could be observed in nature.

You certainly have not.

Nice efforts to bait me. Not going to work. Your response tells me you really have nothing substantive to add to the conversation. Anyone alive today knows we haven't seen natural disasters of this magnitude in our lifetime. Wars are manmade. God's judgment comes in the form of calamities. Why? Because God wants to show man that his firepower is no match for His.

Our arms are too short to box with God.

I have bolded the key phrase in your post. Read it, and then think about it. Maybe you will see your error in thinking.

You all are attacking me, but you haven't refuted what I said. Prove to me that disasters like the California wildfires, Katrina, the Haitian earthquakes and other recent disasters have happened in our lifetime. As in, everyone who is currently alive. This should be easy. The facts should be readily available. Post the evidence.
