divine warning
Sign from above
A divine warning is a sign or message believed to come from God or the gods, alerting someone to danger or commanding a change in behavior.
Such warnings appear throughout religious texts and folklore—dreams, omens, prophetic voices: He took the earthquake as a divine warning to repent.
The phrase sometimes appears ironically for dramatic coincidences: The flat tire felt like a divine warning not to make the trip.
