It is a common claim in some circles that God's SPECIFIC displeasure is being evidenced by natural disasters.
Is this true or not? Does God specifically target the USA for disasters like the recent flood in Houston?
One could make such a claim for the ancient nation of Israel, where prosperity and disasters were promised for covenant faithfulness and unfaithfulness, under the Mosaic Covenant.
However, is it biblical to claim these recent disasters are due to God's SPECIFIC displeasure with the USA or some other country?
Some may claim that the USA has a unique relationship with God, and thus covenant faithfulness and unfaithfulness results in blessings or disasters, but could they please show me the covenant, and the evidence that God involved himself in the covenant?
Note that I am not denying that the Fall and the resulting Curse has affected all of mankind. I strongly affirm that. If someone claims that the disasters arise from the effects of the Fall, I have no disagreement. However, I'm speaking of SPECIFIC disapproval.
Predictably, some within certain circles of Christianity are making the same claims, accompanied by alleged dreams they've had that "prove" it, and that's the source of my questioning.
