Yeah, it’s too bad for its credibility that that thread you posted the link to doesn’t have the link to the USGS that this thread provided! The USGS link provides so much more important information.

The thread links to FOX News...that’s enough credibility for me.

In my life time this has to be the most active I have seen the ring of fire around the Pacific Ocean. There sure is a whole lot of shaking going on.

Seems like God is pissed and coming home, within the next 20 years. 2028 is my guess. I’m only 25, and get to witness the greatest event in human history, yay. hopefully I live through tribulation to see it.

I fully agree with you. How many billions have been stolen from the last disaster. They should have money left over. Right?

Don’t hold your breath.

Every year there are (on average) over 150 earthquakes worldwide of magnitude 6 or greater, including nearly 20 of magnitude 7 or greater.

This translates into a dozen significant earthquakes each month, including three major ones every other month.

In other words, there is no visible deviation from long-term statistics this year. And even if the number rose by 20,30 percent, you’d still be well within statistical fluctuations.

Sorry to kill your hopes but you’ll die in about 60 years - boringly like everyone else.

To: LukeL; left that other site; All

Fox just reported - no deaths reported in this huge quake in Indonesia.

God quieted this quake - as He is doing in the quakes all around the world.

The Tsunami that should have developed - dwinded to a mere 16 inches - and the Tsunami warnings have been cancelled!

Read Matthew 24.

We are in those times foretold by Jesus so long ago.

His coming is very very near!

He would that NO ONE be lost but that all might turn to Him before that great and terrible time of Tribulation falls upon this earth!

May all run to Jesus at this time!
