Greetings Everyone!
Natural disasters are reminders to us that we're far away from God, because when God created the world in the beginning, everything was good. When Adam was still in the will of God, there was no suffering or disasters, but disasters started when men derailed.
Natural disasters started in the time of Noah, when global flood swept the entire universe due to the transgression of men. Men were so immoral and sinful. There was no other righteous person except Noah. God even begged them to join the ark, they refused.
Flood nowadays can be caused by man, like in the case of dam damage. Some flood can kill the entire community. Not all flooding comes from God. Some however like during that of Noah's time was caused by God because men sinned.
Genesis 7:11
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Natural disasters are caused by human sins. God is reminding humans that they have committed sin and have followed the wrong path. God can open the windows of heaven to pour out flood on humanity.
According to the Bible, the fountain of the great deep was broken during Noah's time because of the flood.
Before the flood, Noah was asked to prepare an ark to save those who would care to join, but only him and his family joined.
Before flooding took place, everything on earth was good, but the transgression of men brought floods and destroyed the Earth.
There are different natural disasters, like earthquakes, wildfire, floods, etc. Many of these are man made, some are caused by God as a reminder to man. There would be no disasters if men obey the commandments of God and walk according to his leading.
In all, we are to understand that there would be no disasters if we live as God tells us. If we obey God, he will never willingly afflict us. So we should return to serve God and seek his face.
