To look at the Earthquake time in other timezones, the USGS has the webpage:
8.9 Earthquake offshore Honshu, Japan on March 11, 2011
The earthquake occurred on March 10 in many timezones in much of the United States. Except it was a 11-March-2011 event for the East Coast (New York City, Miami, etc).
However, the tsunami hit the Pacific Coast of Washington, Oregon, and California on March 11.
In this first part of the 21st Century, there is another date of terror also on the 11th of the month.
This is 11-September-2001.
On a stranger note, there is a cult of Christians that believe that there is significance in the date 11-May-2011.
Apparently, there are Christians who believe that there is significance in that date.
I have not heard or seen much of this cult before now, and I am curious about them.
On a lighter note, maybe people should dread the 11th of the month, and not the 13th....
Maybe the old superstition of Friday the 13th is off the mark by a couple of days or something...
Friday the 13th comes from the Egyptians during Passover.
It was the 12th for Hebrews, (who start and end their days at sunset). But Friday the 13th for the Egyptians.
So, if you are a believer, Friday the 13th is a deliverence day.
Probably has something to do with the Gregorian Calendar and Rome, no doubt....
No, it comes from all the matriarchal societies that used lunar calendars.
I always thought that the Friday the 13th observance was related to the assassination of the Knights Templar.
It was the 12th for Hebrews, (who start and end their days at sunset). But Friday the 13th for the Egyptians.
So, if you are a believer, Friday the 13th is a deliverence day.
Or was it 14th day for the Chosen People ?
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
So if they said 11-May-2011 what happens in the time zone where 11-May-2011 comes before those in the time zone where it ain’t?
I thought it was related to Judas as the 13th disciple.
You have to admire the fearlessness of the Founding Fathers--they went ahead with the decision for independence despite the fact that the colonies were 13 in number. (They tried to get West Florida to join them but the British settlers there were loyalists.)
11-May-11 will be my 63rd birthday. I didn't realize that there would be such a fuss. A bottle of single malt (Macallan 18?) would suffice.
March 11, 2004 was a day of terror for the people of Madrid...
I saw this on the History channel.That reminds me-Today’s
number is 144!
I thought it was in reference to the 12th remake of Dragnet ;^)
That cult of Christians is right, There is huge significance for the date May 11, 2011. ;o) It’s my daughter’s 7th birthday!
Numerology: It’s easier than math.
Let’s not forget the Ides of March (March 15)
well my mom died on the 11th Nov 1994 and for a long time I dreaded the 11th of any month. ( By the way, the 11th was Veteran’s Day and I am a veteran, retiree actually)
I did find something about the cult of Christians on the Internet, but I don't know how large this group is...
According to one website, they believe the rapture will happen between May 11, 2011 and October 11, 2011. That was according to one website -- not what I believe.
I have also heard people talking about 2012 like it is going to be the end of the world...
I don't know what about that, but maybe it comes from Nostradamus and his predictions...
All of these are coincidences...
He graduated from University of California Berkeley (Civil Engineering). Maybe he still has ties there...
