Natural disasters like the Los Angeles wildfires often lead to questions about their spiritual significance. Some view such events as a possible sign of divine judgment, pointing to biblical examples where God used nature to reveal His power or discipline His people (e.g., Genesis 19:24-25, Amos 4:6-11). Others emphasize that we live in a fallen world where natural calamities occur due to environmental and human factors rather than direct acts of God.

As Christians, how do we interpret events like these? Should we view them as warnings or simply as part of living in a broken world? What role does prayer and compassion play in our response to those affected?

Are the wildfires a sign of God’s judgment, or do they point to something else entirely?

No. The fires are a sign of lack of rain.

If this is a punishment from God, we are interfering with His plan by providing comfort and aid. Silly to blame this on God.

Just like North Carolina was too much rain- and funny no one is saying NC is an act of punishment.
