God is not playing; Jesus said, repent or you will all likewise perish.
Completely unsubstantiated claim. You have no proof. Your assertion is completely absurd, and frankly a waste of time.

With all our strength as a nation, we are powerless before this monstrous storm that over the heads of millions in the path of its wrath. I pray dear GOD that at this time, we people would forget our selfishness and cry out to you GOD, and to help one another at the time of this NATIONAL CRISIS. We need your mercy and saving Grace. Remember O GOD that your SON, the Lord JESUS CHRIST(whose name we humans have used to curse rather than bless)DIED FOR EVERY FAMILY THAT IS FACING DESTRUCTION at this moment, BY THIS POWERFUL STORM. BUT YOU O LORD ARE THE GOD ABOVE ALL FORCES OF THE EARTH, AND YOU HAVE THE POWER TO SAVE US HUMANS SO WE WILL GIVE YOU GLORY AND HONOR AND PRAISE. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN, and AMEN!!!!!!!!!
