Summary

In the Old Testament, God sent plagues to punish Israel when they sin against Him. Does God still do that? Does God still send plagues to “punish” people? What about innocent people? How do we know? What should be our response? Dr. Taylor Marshall and Matt Gaspers of CFN discuss biblical examples and cite prophets and reformers (like Judas Maccabee) to make suggestions for our time.
