The Bible provides warnings through prophecy and the signs of the times, indicating a correlation between sin and divine judgment.
God's judgment is a recurring theme in Scripture, often associated with the righteousness of His character and the consequences of human sinfulness. Through various passages, God warns nations and peoples of impending judgment if they persist in their sins (Jeremiah 5:9). The signs of the times serve as a reminder that the moral decline witnessed in society corresponds with divine displeasure. As believers observe the prevalence of wickedness and the hardening of hearts against God, they are urged to examine themselves and seek His mercy. The connection between collective sin and national judgment further encourages a posture of humility and prayer in light of these divine warnings (2 Chronicles 7:14).
