But that day belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty—

For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice
    in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.

Again and again I sent all my servants the prophets to you. They said, “Each of you must turn from your wicked ways and reform your actions; do not follow other gods to serve them. Then you will live in the land I have given to you and your ancestors.” But you have not paid attention or listened to me.

~Jeremiah 35:15

I would say that God uses quieter methods for me.
