There is one fundamental element that is usually overlooked in discussions of this nature, namely, the intrusion of sin, the devil and fallen angels soon after man was placed on this earth. Such intrusion was not originally a part of God’s perfect creation, but man invited the devil and his host here.
Hence, the devil is referred to in the Bible as the god of this world. They will not be expelled except by man’s conscious rejection of them and their ways. Thus, tsunamis and other natural disasters are reflective of the devil’s rule and not God’s. The time will come, however, when the dominion will be taken away and given to the people of the saints of the Most High (Daniel 7). In the mean-time it is our privilege to ask God’s protection from certain effects of the devil’s rule and ask God for the power to repudiate the devil and his ways. God’s way is perfect love.
