January 6, in the year of our Lord, 2022: Remembering a Year of Disaster
Note: Realizing that this 'quick take' includes several statistics, a quick scan of these will get you to the point of these few Scriptures and their implication for our future at the mercy of our Lord. (I also project some political opinion which may offend both sides of these issues in the U.S. & the world. Glad to hear your opinion IF it connects to Scripture. RH)
“They have lied about the LORD
The Prophet Jeremiah 5:12 NLT
and said, ‘He won’t bother us!
No disasters will come upon us.
There will be no war or famine.

Psalm 140:11 NLT
“Now behold, I Myself am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which there is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish.
Genesis 6:17 – The word of the LORD to Noah.
Disaster and Death: Judgment of Sin and Wickedness!
Genesis 7
- 12 The rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
- 20 The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.
- 21 So all creatures that moved on the earth perished:
- birds, livestock, animals, and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth,
- and all mankind;
- 22 of all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.
So He wiped out [all existence] every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from mankind to animals, to crawling things, and the birds of the sky, and they were wiped out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.
Genesis 7:23 NASB20
Surely righteous people are praising your name;
Psalm 140: 13
the godly will live in your presence.
