God does not cause earthquakes, per se. Our earth is badly scarred from the sinful state of humanity.....we also expect to see more earthquakes the closer we get to Jesus' second coming. The one behind EVERY single bad thing that occurs is the father of all lies / evil. God allows some hurtful things to happen and I am fully convinced that because He is above all, knows all, things do not randomly occur. Somehow, somewhere, it is part of His plan and I trust that. The book of Job is a good example of this.
Having said that, at some point the earth and its inhabitants will definitely see and feel God's wrath as they did during Noah's time. God did bring that flood and I have no doubt that other direct actions will be taken by Him. I just don't think that particular time is here, yet.
Very interesting. Thank you for your words in the presence of my ignorance. I know there are many people that are more knowledgeable than myself in our Lord and the Bible. I’m learning as much as I can. So thank you for this.
Been discussing this topic this evening, do you happen to know some scripture of Job that points this out, or more or less should we read the entirety of the chapters of Job? If so no worries, I’ll dive into this soon enough, was just wondering. 👍
The way I see it, God doesn’t have His finger on every single thing. He doesn’t cause bad things to happen - but He can turn them for good, if we let Him.

You're welcome. We're all ignorant in similar and different ways. May God bless you as you search things out.
