Israel Folau has linked Australia’s bushfires and drought which have devastated the country to the legalisation of same-sex marriage and abortion.
During the 10-minute recording, the 30-year-old says the timing of the bushfire crisis is no coincidence but only a taste of God’s judgment should nothing change.
“I’ve been looking around at the events that’s been happening in Australia, this past couple of weeks, with all the natural disasters, the bushfires and the droughts,” he says.
Exiled Wallabies star Israel Folau has blamed the bushfire crisis on same sex marriage and abortion in an extraordinary church sermon.

He then reads from the Book of Isaiah in the Bible, The Lord’s Devastation of the Earth:
“The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left.”
Folau links the passage to the twin disasters of bushfire and drought and, in turn, the legalising of same-sex marriage and abortion.
