Just yesterday we wrote of the flurry of earthquake and storm activity around the eastern Pacific Rim. This afternoon, two more powerful quakes–a 7.6 magnitude earthquake followed by one of 6.6 magnitude–struck within 15 minutes of each other. At the time of this posting a tsunami alert is in effect.
To repeat, among other signs Jesus gave so that we would know when His return is near, He mentioned earthquakes (Matthew 24:7; Mark 13:8; Luke 21:11) and violent storms coming from the seas (Luke 21:25).
From the Daily Mail (UK):
A future earthquake off Alaska could create giant killer waves that would strike ports and cities as far south as Los Angeles, British scientists warned today.
They said the risk of such an event was far greater than previously thought after analysing sedimentation along the coast.
It could dwarf the great 1964 Alaskan earthquake, which triggered waves more than 40 feet high.
Around 130 people were killed by the 1964 earthquake and tsunami, in Alaska, Oregon and California. There was also extensive damage to property across the US Pacific region.
Everyone knows Jesus spoke of many massive earthquakes happening just before He returns (Matthew 24:7; Mark 13:8; Luke 21:11). Often overlooked is that Jesus also predicted an increase in giant sea waves (Luke 21:25)–the exact description of tsunamis.
A mammoth 7.8 earthquake struck just off the western coast of New Zealand today, creating a small tsunami.
Everyone knows Jesus spoke of many massive earthquakes happening just before He returns (Matthew 24:7; Mark 13:8; Luke 21:11). Often overlooked is that Jesus also predicted an increase in giant sea waves (Luke 21:25)–the exact description of tsunamis.
The number of deaths from the cyclone that hit India and Bangladesh earlier this week has reached at least 180, and sadly the number is climbing. Around 180,000 homes have been destroyed. These folks need our prayers and support.
Jesus, speaking in Luke 21:25, said the last days would find, “The sea and the waves roaring.”
