End is Near? Global Earthquake Epidemic
“Who removeth the mountains, and they know it not, when He overturneth them in His anger. Who shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.” Job 9:5-6 (The Israel Bible™)

A level 6 earthquake hit Nepal.
Four
earthquakes were recorded around the globe, including three major shakers in
the last 48 hours. A minor earthquake hit
eastern Israel Friday morning one day after a deadly quake hit Japan.
The
Geophysical Institute of Israel reported that the quake, too small to be
measured in numbers on the Richter Scale, hit the Dead Sea area and the city of
Arad at approximately 7 am.
An
earthquake last July measured 4.4 on the Richter scale and was felt all over
Israel. Israel is prone to earthquakes generated by the Syrian-African
Rift, which runs along the Jordan valley and is part of the larger Great Rift
Valley, extending from northern Syria to Mozambique.
In 1927,
a 6.2-magnitude quake generated by that rift killed 500 people and injured 700.
Experts have warned that a large earthquake could strike Israel in the near
future. The government has begun funding projects for buildings to be bolstered
against tremors.
Thursday
evening, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake hit Southern Japan, killing nine and
injuring more than 850 others. 44,000 people were evacuated from the town of
Mashiki. Aftershocks are expected.
The quake
in Japan was followed by a 5.9-magnitude earthquake which struck off the coast
of the southern Philippines.
A
6-magnitude earthquake also hit on Thursday off the coast of the
Pacific island of Vanuatu, according to the United States Geological Survey
(USGS).
A
powerful 6.9 Richter quake hit Myanmar on Wednesday night but, miraculously, no
deaths were reported.
A
6.6-magnitude earthquake hit northwestern Pakistan near Afghanistan five days
ago on April 10.
On April
8, there was a magnitude-4.2 earthquake in Nepal.
Yesterday’s
quakes bring the total to nine across Asia in a period of just over three
and a half months.
Seismologists
say the Himalayan region is overdue for a geologic event stronger than the 7.9
Richter earthquake that hit Nepal last year.
People of
faith may see this string of earthquakes as a sign of divine wrath. Psalm
18 describes the earth trembling and quaking because of God’s
anger.
Earthquakes are also part of several end times prophecies,
including the war of Gog and Magog:
“This
is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot
anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD. In my zeal and fiery wrath
I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of
Israel. The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field,
every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of
the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the
cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground.” (Ezekiel 38:18-20)
UPDATE: Yet
another earthquake, this one measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale, hit Ecuador on
Saturday night. Widespread and serious damage was reported and at least
77 people were killed.
Could it be that each of these earthquakes are sent by God as
warnings to us that we need to repent and go back to worshiping Him in spirit
and in truth, and obeying Him not just in words but in actions?
Is it not time
that we forsake those man-made idols that reduce God’s majesty to the abject
works of man’s hands? God does indeed bring about earthquakes, floods, hail,
snow, rain. He has always used weather to bless or judge. He is in complete
control.
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.”
