Human beings frequently express their thoughts by means of figures of speech. This procedure is likewise a part of biblical revelation.

The recent earthquake and subsequent tidal waves in the Indian Ocean have caused many to wonder why God allows such disasters to burden the earth. Is there any reasonable explanation for these events that respects the concept of the benevolence of our Creator?
