How do we know that God judges society?

Throughout scripture, God’s judgments often manifest in various forms, including calamities, societal strife, and moral degradation. In 2 Timothy 3, the Apostle Paul links the evident decline in societal morals to a specific divine warning for the last generation. The rise in disasters and the apparent unraveling of social norms are seen not merely as random events but as signals of God’s judgment. Christians believe that these occurrences call attention to humanity's need for repentance and restoration to God, emphasizing that God's sovereignty is active even in judgment.
