Romans 9:20 (NIV) No, don’t say that. Who are you, a mere human being, to argue with God? Should the thing that was created say to the one who created it, “Why have you made me like this?”

So why is it bad to prepare against catastrophic caused by men doing evil? If I was a Jew in Germany and saw the writing on the wall and made arrangements to escape and save myself and my family am I a bad person? If I see war coming is it not my duty to try and shield them and take steps to protect them? You seem to argue both sides.

As for me I think these verses to be more relevant:
Proverbs 27:12 (NLT) ”A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.“

“But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” 1 Timothy 5:8 (KJV)

In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. Proverbs 21:20

But if the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn’t sound the alarm to warn the people, he is responsible for their deaths. They will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman accountable. Ezekiel 33:6

Am I not my family’s watchman? If I see trouble coming it is my DUTY to make arrangements to provide for my family:

If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 1 Timothy 5:8
