Although California historically has wildfires, the Bible mentions fire as something God sometimes uses to punish. Here are some examples:
11 The Lord said:
“Surely it will be well with your remnant;
Surely I will cause the enemy to intercede with you
In the time of adversity and in the time of affliction.
12 Can anyone break iron,
The northern iron and the bronze?
13 Your wealth and your treasures
I will give as plunder without price,
Because of all your sins,
Throughout your territories.
14 And I will make you cross over with your enemies
Into a land which you do not know;
For a fire is kindled in My anger,
Which shall burn upon you.” (Jeremiah 15:11-14)12 O house of David! Thus says the Lord:
“Execute judgment in the morning;
And deliver him who is plundered
Out of the hand of the oppressor,
Lest My fury go forth like fire
And burn so that no one can quench it,
Because of the evil of your doings.
13 “Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley,
And rock of the plain,” says the Lord,
“Who say, ‘Who shall come down against us?
Or who shall enter our dwellings?’
14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,” says the Lord;
“I will kindle a fire in its forest,
And it shall devour all things around it.”‘ (Jeremiah 21:12-14)11 The Lord has fulfilled His fury,
He has poured out His fierce anger.
He kindled a fire in Zion,
And it has devoured its foundations. (Lamentations 4:11)15 There the fire will devour you,
The sword will cut you off;
It will eat you up like a locust. (Nahum 3:15)
The non-ordained self-appointed false prophet continues:
Although my prayers are with those affected by the fires, and where I live is also subject to wildfires, I also pray that those in California will repent as worse problems are ahead if the State continues to go in a moral direction away from the Bible. Weather problems can be a warning.
Jesus taught:
7…And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:7-8).
8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:8)

Bob! Look at me! You have no theological education and looking up words in Nave's Topical Bible that match doesn't count.
You are almost as bad with Bible words as was Gerald Waterhouse.
If God starts these fires, then he needs to be arrested for arson.
Of course we know full well that if your home burned down in a brush fire there in Arroyo Del Stupio, you'd claim Satan was lashing out at the one true church and trying to stop and thwart you're incredible Spokesman's Club Non-Prophet Ministry.

"Although my prayers are with those affected by the fires, and where I live is also subject to wildfires,"
Nice disclaimer, if you pray for them you are working against the will of your arsonist god. You also are CYA should fire not discriminate between the sinners and the Non-Prophet
I tell you what, instead of praying for them, get your ass out of your make shift broadcast studio and go down to see if you can offer any assistance or encouragement to those affected.
It will give you a chance to be of earthly value and open amazing doors for you to use this God caused lesson to promote yourself and your Gospel.
Sounds like a plan to me!
Will be anxious to hear how you did in the next program.

like I said earlier, I occasionally here out of context verses from the leadership....I just ignore them and stick with what I know to be right...
and for the record, I have no connection to Dr. Bob or LCG....never have, never will.
If you look at the picture, God is just messin' with a few canyons ina pretty small area of the whole world of sinners
They caught the guy that started the fires and it wasn't YHVH :)
(Does Jesus ever start fires?)

Are there more wildfires now than 100 years ago, ANSWER : NO

Are there more hurricanes now than in the past?
ANSWER : NO http://tucsoncitizen.com/wryheat/2010/09/03/hurricanes-are-the-numbers-unusual/
Murder rates, abortion rates and cigarette smoking rates have actually declined in the USA over the last 40 years.
The nation has a lot to repent of. No doubt. However, using every news event out there to create a "confirmation bias" for the "end times" is plain stupidity. There are social trends that are disturbing, I am not minimizing that. But there are many Hundreds of THOUSANDS of righteous in every city in the world, not just the "10" of Sodom.
We need to be about our Christianity always. We do not need the "endtime carrot" to be motivating us, and we need to seriously be examining ourselves and our conversion if this is what is indeed motivating us.
Let us be about our Fathers business for the right reasons. Let our witness and testimony produce disciples who are listening for the right reasons as well. Fear mongering does not produce the right fruits, and using random natural events like some kind of "witch doctor" is not the right method for promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The God of Bob is attacking the sinning squirrels in the trees.
Hey God of Bob, there are more sinners in the cities ... your aim is off.
Bob Thiel is a liar.
Repent of lying.
YOU caused the fires.
Repent now before all of Southern California burns up.
God is not fond of false prophets, especially when they have a PhD they never earned.
Write another book, "I Repent!". Confess all your sins. No one will buy it, but at least it would be a gesture....
SO Gods an arsonist heh?
Thiel, keep it up. You look like a bigger moron week after week.
God must hate Glendale now as it had a fire in its foothills. Prophecy comes alive!
"Has" a fire at the 2 and 134 heading towards Chevy Chase Canyon
To listen to Thiel, you'd think that you couldn't even go to the grocery store in the fire regions without fear of being sodomized! Or perhaps that children were being sacrificed to Satan.
Grow up, ACOG preachers! Fires are one of the natural things which happen as part of earth cycles! These people's only sins might be that they are risk takers, having moved into an area known to be prone to fires. Or, perhaps they might not have given enough attention to clearing the brush from around their McMansions.
