76. Earthquakes. Are they getting your attention?

.
Incredibly, some will say that "there are not more earthquakes, it's just that global news makes them seen so frequent". While there may be an element of truth in this, in reality, the earthquakes are much more frequent than they were 10 years ago, and 10 years ago they were more frequent than 25 years before that. Many universities have seismic departments that confirm this finding.

Or this one: "We are better able to detect them now, so we are catching more of them." Again, there is a bit of truth here. But we've been able to detect earthquakes for 80 years or so, and particularly in the last 20 years. And the number of earthquakes of measurable size have often doubled per given area, and in some areas, they are also getting worse.

I've addressed the subject of earthquakes before, in post #31, and there I posted all seven of the Bible passages that mention earthquakes in the end times, and discussed them. Break out your Bibles and check them out. Here's the link: Link to post #31.

Any comments? Your opinion about earthquakes and the Bible? Feel free to post them here, I usually get back with you within 12 hours.

  1. Hi Larry,

    There were over 6 heavy-duty earthquakes this week, several in the last couple of days over 6.0. Just today there was a 6.6 in the Philippines. They certainly ARE getting my attention, and I use the fact that they are coming so quickly now, to witness. Blessedly, so do the missionaries and relief workers who go into these devastated areas, to bring the Good News to places that need it most but receive it the least. God is compassionate.

  2. Elizabeth, good to see you on the blogsite. And the earthquakes do seem to keep on coming. But neither you nor I need earthquakes to testify to the great possibility of the Lord coming quickly. And so I say Maranatha! Lord Jesus come.
