Where is the place of blessings where we can be protected from disasters?
In the age of Noah, it was the ark, and in the age of the Exodus of the Israelites, it was the Passover.
That is, it is the place where God’s words are—Zion in this age. There, God’s commandments are kept by His people.
God has promised that those who follow His laws will receive blessings, and the Church of God,
which keeps the New Covenant, is Zion.

[Deuteronomy 28:1–6]
If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
. . . You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

[Jeremiah 16:10–11]
“When you tell these people all this and they ask you, ‘Why has the LORD decreed such a great disaster against us? What wrong have we done? What sin have we committed against the LORD our God?’ then say to them, ‘It is because your ancestors forsook me, . . . and did not keep my law.’ ”
