You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen,
but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be famines and EARTHQUAKES in various places.

And I didn’t include the smaller earthquakes. Just the ones listed as significant. So far in 2010, there have been 225,420 deaths due to earthquakes. I urge you to take a few minutes and explore the USGS Earthquake area. It sure amazed me.
And boy … I gotta admit … I feel a little tentative posting this, but I feel the Lord led me share it with you. Actually, a while ago … but I’ve been disobedient for fear of being criticized. But fear no more …
There you have it folks … now don’t go sayin’ you weren’t warned! ;)
You know – My husband and I have talked about this. The good thing is…that we know where we will go!
Dang, that is something! And I felt that one on April 4th , my first big quake while living in Southern Cali!
Great Post !!!!! He will come as a thief in the night and we need to be ready
Hi! I just happened upon your blog. I love it! It is so serene. What a great post. I think a lot of believers would be afraid to post something like this. It definitely needs to be talked about and you have shared so boldly but in a way that is not overbearing or off-turning. Bless you for being obedient!
Wow! That is quite a list! … Even so COME, Lord Jesus!
Dug back through your archives so I could vote for Hunter again while I was here. :)
would like to see this data in some historical context..
My husband and I have been watching this same earthquake site for several months now…it seems like so much is going on in the world right now, it makes you wonder if it truly is getting close to the end!
Chris has been following the earthquakes as well very closely. I think he checks that site 4 times a day!
Good article commenting on frequency and location of quakes http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/04/15/eveningnews/main6400625.shtml
It may also be important to note that the earth has many “negative feedback loops”, which essentially serve to maintain it’s status quo. For instance, a large quake in one part of the world (which is caused by movement of a tectonic plate) may cause shifting of surrounding plates as the earth’s “skin” “readjusts”.
Two cents from the Earth Scientist. ;-)
I knew there had been several this year but truly had no idea of just how many! As I was checking out the site I saw that the day after you posted this there was a 7.2 quake in Indonesia.
So interesting…you know we just had two in the month of April – in TENNESSEE – I know, strange! They were very small, but frightening still….
