Forest Fires

One morning this week I was reading from Ezekiel. The valley here was a bit hazy with smoke from forest fires in Idaho, Nevada and the big one around Redding, California. It's hot and dry out west. Then I read this passage:

"The word of the Lord came to me: 'Son of man, face the south and preach against it. Prophesy against the forest land in the Negev, and say to the forest there: Hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord God says: I am about to ignite a fire in you, and it will devour every green tree and every dry tree in you. The blazing flame will not be extinguished, and every face from the south to the north will be scorched by it. Then all people will see that I, Yahweh, have kindled it. It will not be extinguished.'" - Ezekiel 20:45-48

I believe He was saying these fires are part of his judgment on America.
