  In the Old Testament, there are numerous times when God delivered punishment, usually death or persecution, on the nation of Israel, on families and also on individuals because they were guilty of some particularly repugnant sin and disobedience. In the light of these, I believe we should expect that God will act in a similar fashion should similar sinful situations arise today.
  
  But having said that, I also believe that God uses adversity, trials and persecution today to place his people in situations where they are able to reach the lost and to bring them back to him.

  This may well be a way for the ministers to bring others to God. By sharing the hardships usually incurred during military training and preaching the word of God, undoubtedly many will come to Christ.

  I'll illustrate my response to this article by a comparison quote from a well known megachrurch pastor who said...
  "All hurricanes are acts of God, because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, and they are - were recipients of the judgment of God for that." Pastor John Hagee
  
  Well it looks like in Eritrea, God has had his fill of CHRISTIANS who have reached their level of SIN- God's rounding them up and detaining them in camps.
