Yesterday, I saw the display of lightening, and heard and felt the roar of thunder. This reminded me of the verse in the Book of Prophecy (Ofudesaki) telling us the source of the thunder.

In this world, landslides, thunder, earthquakes,

and great winds are all from the anger and regret of God. 6-91

In the same chapter, God initially refers to himself as Tsukihi or Moon/Sun. Is this coincidence, or is God telling us that he has control of everything in the universe including the moon and the sun? Is it also possible that God uses the sun and moon in creating earthquakes and other natural disasters? A recent article by Josh Hrala suggests that the sun and moon may cause earthquakes. The following is the first paragraph of his article:

Researchers in the US have found a link between the position of the Sun and Moon and small tremors deep within the San Andreas Fault – suggesting that the gravitational pull of the astronomical bodies could be causing the Earth’s plates to move up and down like the ocean’s tides.

Ironically it may not be pollution causing our climate changes, but it may be from God’s anger and regret. I picture Zeus with a thunderbolt ready to strike the earth below. But what is causing God’s anger and regret?
