Disaster will come upon you,
and you will not know how to conjure it away.
A calamity will fall upon you
that you cannot ward off with a ransom;
a catastrophe you cannot foresee
will suddenly come upon you.
Isaiah 47:11 MEV
“Those in the height of prosperity, are apt to fancy themselves out of the reach of adversity. It is also common for sinners to think they shall be safe, because they think to be secret in wicked ways. But their security shall be their ruin.” — Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary, Isaiah 47:7-15
Circa 2067 BC, Sodom and Gomorrah were suddenly destroyed. Right angles do not occur in nature. Such structures mark ancient man-made buildings. According to the Holy Scripture, Genesis 19:1-29 MEV, “Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens.“
My Jewish Learning: Sulfur & Fire From Heaven describes a scientifically sound description of the nature of the conflagration that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah but did not affect nearby Zoar.

“Through reanalysis, scientists estimate its solar flare classification to be between X40 and X50.3 (The X-class is reserved for the most powerful solar storms.) According to NASA heliophysicist Dr. Alex Young, the [1859 Carrington] event‘s energy could have powered today’s global energy needs for hundreds of thousands of years.”
God created the entire universe
He stretches out the north over empty space,
He hangs the earth upon nothing.
He binds up the waters in His thick clouds,
and the cloud is not broken under them.
He covers the face of the full moon
and spreads His cloud over it.
He has circled the waters with boundaries,
until the day and night come to an end.
The pillars of heaven tremble
and are astonished at His reproof.
He divides the sea with His power,
and by His understanding He strikes through the proud.
By His breath He has made fair the heavens;
His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
Indeed, these are but a part of His ways,
and how small a whisper we hear of Him!
But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
Job 26:7-14 MEV
The Earth is a tiny planet in a universe governed by the laws of its Designer, El Shaddai (Lord God Almighty), El Olam (The Everlasting God). Contemporary scientists acknowledge the universe’s origin, not as the product of a “big bang” or billions of years of evolution, but evidently intelligent design.
View the Earth from the International Space Station (ISS) as it circumnavigated the planet Earth every 90 minutes. What do you see?
