The Tsunami in Southeast Asia shook the world physically and emotionally. The death toll, at present, has exceeded 200,000. Australian researchers say, "We can still see a steady signal of the earth vibrating as a result of that earthquake two weeks later. From what it looks like, it appears it will probably continue to oscillate for several more weeks."/1

Generations will pass before the remains of this disaster fade into history. Worldwide, questions are being asked about the nature of a God who would allow such horrors.

Before answers are provided, we must acknowledge that people are confused and angry at God over this disaster.

Heather MacDonald sums up these feelings when she writes, "Centuries of uncritical worship have clearly produced a monster. God knows that he can sit passively by while human life is wantonly mowed down, and the next day, churches, synagogues, and mosques will be filled with believers thanking him for allowing the survivors to survive. The faithful will ask him to heal the wounded, while ignoring his failure to prevent the disaster in the first place."/2

Writers such as MacDonald never take the time to understand God. Instead, they seek to reduce him to human size. Cal Thomas wisely writes, "Rather than attempt to bring mankind up to God's level, many skeptics try to bring God down to man's level, remaking Him in a human image and thus encouraging the false view that God is someone who is supposed to make us happy and prosperous."/3

Man exists for God, not God for man. He is the Creator; we are the Creation. Paul rhetorically asks, "does the potter have power over the clay?" (Romans 9:21, NKJV). When Job loses everything he has, he demands an explanation from God concerning his suffering. In Job 38-41, God speaks and demonstrates his power and majesty as creator and sovereign king of the universe.

Answers do not come easily when obscured by pain. Our human eyes see from a different perspective than an omnipotent God. We look around in a narrow sense and God looks down on the world as a whole. He understands everything on a scale we cannot.

His wisdom is everlasting and is "not willing that any should perish" spiritually "but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). He created a beautiful world and has showered us with all spiritual and physical blessings. Only a good God would do such things (Psalm 33:5). If he were evil, we would no longer be alive anyway.

In Luke 13, some came before Jesus to ask about the "Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices" (Luke 13:1, NKJV). Jesus said, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:2,3).

Disasters have always been with us and will continue until the world ends. No amount of care, concern or legislation can erase that fact. We can only ensure that our souls are prepared for them (Hebrews 9:27).

Life is a tenuous thread that we must treat with care (James 4:13,14). While disasters turn people into critics of God, it should instead turn them into pursuers of God.

This world is our temporary abode, and we must be preparing for the next life where there will be no pain, suffering, or death (Revelation 21:1-7). Ultimately, heaven is the answer. This world is painful and filled with hardships and grief. Only by entering heaven for all eternity will we find the peace we all desire and an end to pain, suffering, and death.

For further study on this subject, I refer you to my previous article, "Who is Responsible for Suffering?" found at forthright.antville.org

The false science says that because of the Tzunami shock, the Earth axis has budged 8 km. at the poles.
Luckily, from Russia comes the denial: scientists affirm that the earthquake that has originated the Tzunami has been caused by the sudden displacement of the terrestrial axis.
In fact, since many years the axis of the magnetic pole shifts 1 degree per year and probably it is the elastic effect that started the move of the whole globe.

In the Old Testament, there is a history telling about Lot and Angels that before destroying the cities of Sodoma and Gomorra, they go looking for people to save.
Lot talks to God and he accepts the God's idea to destroy the cities; however, he pleads God to check first the righteous souls to be saved. God accepts the suggestion of Lot and sends His Angels to verify this; they don't find anybody worth being saved, except the same Lot, his wife and his daughters.
Therefore, these Angels in human form, cause since the times of the Old Testament the Angels always appeared in human form, without loose shirt and wings, they take Lot and lead him out of the city. But Lot's wife disobeys orders, she looks back what was happening and so she becomes a salt statue.
(Luke 17 - 28,29).

Certainly, this story arouses in the desolate and frightened souls of people, the idea of an irascible and cruel God and the result obtained is certainly that every thing that happens on Earth to the people takes to a revenge on this punitive God, who since that times " enjoys himself" in punishing humanity, just as the pagans Gods did.
Why?
Sacrifices of animals and human beings were born with the idea to placate these Gods, which give vent their anger on the poor creatures of the Earth.
Didn't this biblical God act the same way as the pagans gods?

The answer to this behaviour comes from Jesus, or the essence of Love, which sacrifices himself for other people's good.
Jesus told his disciples:
"The one who has seen me, has seen the Father" (John 14 - 9).
But how could this affirmation be true if the Father is irascible and jealous while You are full of Love and calm?
Well, this relative is not correct; God, then, is just like human beings and He's enticed by anger…

Also this thought leads people thinking that God doesn't exist or that He's a deaf and blind God, which doesn't care about terrestrial creatures which are living amid sufferings and harimanichs illusions.
A first answer is given by the ancients Witnesses of Jehovah in 1920, when they affirmed that the Kingdom of Jehovah is in the Pleiades.
The confirmation of this affirmation, comes from the Archangel Michael, Prince and head of all the Celestial Militias.
He affirms: "Jehovah is Jomiael, ancient geneticist creator, Fallen Angel rebel to the Eternal love laws."

Now I understand…That' why this creator filled with poison is so different from Jesus Christ!
He's not the Father, the Father is another one slipped from human memory! How lucky! Then, it isn't God punishing us with catastrophes of every sort!

But when Jesus says "The one who sees me, he sees the Father", he means that He is the Father, the Father becoming the Son to love us and help us.
(John 16 - 3).
His love for creatures is so great that He would ever unleash the nature against us!
Then why?
Jesus explains us, in the Parusia (Matthew 24 - 29), the events of the Cosmos that will happen at the end of the times, that is to say today.
Therefore, I can say to you that I have known, always from the mouth of the Saint Prince the Archangel Michael, Lord of the third millennium (Matthew 24 - 30), that what is happened it could be still more serious; He tells that he, assisted by His Militias, put a brake on the total inversion of the poles and the terrestrial axis, which should return in the primary position, that is perpendicularly, so that to have only one season.
Besides, He explains that this move is guided so that the number of the victims could be limited.

The universe grounds on laws and specific movements that men don't know yet; the Angels guardians of the various stellar systems, introduce changes, from time to time, bringing us far from the power of evil, caused by the primary rebellion of the Fallen Angels.
He also explains other things, which are really difficult to understand for us, both on religious and scientific contexts, but He comforts the suffering saying that, when a catastrophe happens, Angels teams immediately pick up the souls of the victims, so that they can be straight raised out from Earth.

With regard to this, Jesus told:
"Two will be in the same bed, the one will be taken, the other left. Two women will be to grind in the same place, the one will be taken, the other left" (Luke 17 - 31 to 35).
Here, so He explains to us, children, in simply words, the meaning of what we are going through.

I conclude with this sentence:
God is not guilty for what's happening in the world but humanity itself pays for its evil actions.
