Natural Disasters

"...and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place" (Revelation 6:12-14).

As the frequency of natural disasters seems to increase, it's time to look at what the Bible says about these awe-inspiring events and what they mean for your future.
