The Lord sent Babylonian, Aramean, Moabite and Ammonite raiders against him to destroy Judah, in accordance with the word of the Lord proclaimed by his servants the prophets.
"in accordance with the word of the Lord" Good or bad, when God speaks, the universe responds. Who are we to question Him or doubt Him? The Bible has about 2,000 prophecies that have already been fulfilled. God does not always do or allow the things that we might want, but He always does what is right. But what about when the worst disaster strikes? Where's God then? He's there, keeping things from getting even worse. Did you ever notice how people respond in the time of disaster or emergency? Often people respond with compassion. Remember Live Aid? OK, so some people are younger than me! ;) God does allow things to happen and He allows us to be part of His plan to do good.
