5 Major Earthquakes In 48 Hours As A Seismologist Warns ‘Catastrophic Mega Earthquakes’ Are Coming
By Michael Snyder, on April 14th, 2016
Scientists
say there has been an above average number of significant earthquakes across south Asia and
the Pacific since the start of the year.
The
increased frequency has sparked fears of a repeat of the Nepal quake of 2015,
when 8,000 people died, or even worse.
Roger
Bilham, seismologist of University of Colorado, said: “The current conditions
might trigger at least four earthquakes greater than 8.0 in magnitude.
“And
if they delay, the strain accumulated during the centuries provokes more
catastrophic mega earthquakes.”
A
single magnitude 8.0 earthquake in a populated area would be a disaster of
historic proportions.
If
we were to see four of them like Roger Bilham is projecting, that would be a
complete and utter nightmare.
It
is important to keep in mind that a magnitude 8.0 earthquake would be many,
many times larger than the twin earthquakes that hit Japan earlier today…
A
devastating 6.4-magnitude earthquake has struck Japan hours after a first which
killed at least three and injured 19 others.
The
quakes, which struck the south-western island of Kyushu, leveled more than a
dozen homes, sparked fires and trapped several people under collapsed
buildings.
Around
350 military personnel have been dispatched to aid the rescue effort, said
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga.
The
first earthquake, measuring 6.5-magnitude, hit the south-east Asian country
late on Friday, local time, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
On
Thursday we also saw a
magnitude 6.5 earthquake hit Vanuatu, and a magnitude 5.9
earthquake shook the
southern Philippines…
A
5.9 magnitude earthquake hit off the coast of Mindanao early Thursday, April
14, seismologists said, with no damage or casualties immediately reported and
no tsunami warning issued. The quake occurred at 2:21 am (1821 GMT Wednesday)
off the coast of Zamboanga del Norte, with its epicenter at a depth of 15
kilometers, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs)
said.
And
of course on Wednesday a huge magnitude 6.9 earthquake caused
tremendous devastation in Myanmar…
A
magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck Myanmar on Wednesday, causing tremors around
the region, including in neighboring Bangladesh where scores were reported
injured in stampedes and buildings were damaged.
The
quake, which took place at a depth of 134 kilometers (83 miles), hit some 400
kilometers northwest of Myanmar’s capital Naypyidaw, according to the US
Geological Survey (USGS), and was also felt in parts of India and China.
There
were no immediate reports of casualties, although the region where the
earthquake hit has poor communications infrastructure like many of Myanmar’s
outlying provinces.
So
why is this happening?
Why
is Asia shaking so violently all of a sudden?
And
does this shaking bode ill for other areas along the “Ring of Fire” including
the west coast of the United States?
I
think that it is important to point out that all of this shaking did not just
begin this week. In fact, ever since the start of this calendar year
there has been a lot of unusual earthquake activity all over Asia…
Just
four days ago, on April 10, six people died in Pakistan when a 6.6-magnitude
quake hit Kabul with aftershocks in India
Two
days before, on April 8, there was a magnitude 4.2 earthquake in Nepal.
Nepal
had suffered a larger 5.5 magnitude one on February 22.
A
month before, on January 20, there was a 6.1-magnitude earthquake in China, and
16 days earlier 11 people died when a 6.7-magnitude earthquake hit Manipur in
India.
In
addition, let us not forget about all of the volcanic eruptions that have been
in the news in recent weeks.
According to Volcano
Discovery, 38 volcanoes around the globe are erupting right
now. This is definitely an unusually high number.
In
Matthew 24, Jesus warned us that there would be earthquakes in “divers places”
just prior to His return. This is something that I discuss quite a
bit in my new book. If we truly are in
the times that the Bible refers to as “the last days”, we should expect the
shaking of our planet to continue to intensify.
If
seismologist Roger Bilham is right and we do begin to see a series of
absolutely massive earthquakes, that could dramatically change the course of
world events literally overnight.
Even
a single magnitude 8.0 earthquake in a major city in Japan, China or the United
States would cause global markets to crash and would mean billions of dollars
in economic damage.
So
let us hope that the crust of our planet begins to stabilize, but let us also
not ignore the warnings of the scientists.
What
they are warning us about right now lines up perfectly with what Jesus warned
us about nearly 2000 years ago, and that is a very sobering thing to consider.
Are
you struggling with a big decision or wondering how your eternal future will
play out?
Why
not talk to the God of the universe and let Him work in your behalf?
He
says, “I will instruct you and teach you
the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you" (Psalm 32:8).
Ask
God to show you what to do. Pray the following prayer:
“Heavenly Father,
I admit that I am a sinner and my
sins have separated me from you. I now want to turn away from my past sinful
life and begin a new life with you.
Please forgive me. I now receive
your Son, Jesus Christ as my Savior, my Master and my Lord. I believe and
confess that Jesus Christ died for my sins, was buried, and rose from the dead.
I want to receive all that Jesus
Christ has provided for me as my Savior. Your Word says, ‘Whosoever shall call
on the name of the Lord shall be saved’ (Romans 10:13).
I believe and confess that Jesus
Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and no man comes unto the Father,
but by Him.
Lord Jesus, I pray and ask You, to
come into my heart and be Lord of my life. I thank you that you have given me
eternal life, and according to your Word, I am born again.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift
of the Holy Spirit that is in me now. I surrender my life to you. Use me for
your glory.
In Jesus Name. Amen.”

He
came to give us life more abundantly
He came to break the chains
And set the captive free
Now I live in Him
And He lives in me
And I love the life
He gives more abundantly
He came to break the chains
And set the captive free
Now I live in Him
And He lives in me
And I love the life
He gives more abundantly
