8.1 Earthquake in TONGA - CA TSUNAMI ALERT
The Tsunami alert has been canceled for California.
Pretty scary stuff ...
The Bible states before He comes again there will be:
Matt.24:7
[7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Aids, bird flu PANDEMIC - things like that.
Mark.13:8
[8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Luke.21:11
[11] And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

I'm not at all concerned. I KNOW where I am heading when I draw my last breathe. I post it to pique the curiosity of those that either don't know or are curious about what else the Bible has to say.
bttt
I pray for all those in harms way... these big quakes are certainly scary.
... a Jimmy Carter warning
... a Jesse Jackson warning
Considering the Jews were gathered back to their homeland after 2000 years as prophesied, in our lifetime...I would have to say we are indeed linving in a unique period of history. Not to mention other prophesied signs.
ooooops.....guess I could have sized it....
A Tad...:-)
blah
There have ALWAYS been GREAT quakes. Has nothing to do with end times.
Sounds like you've watched a little too much Jack Van Impe!
It is not for us to know or guess about the end times. When they come, they come.
Well, I didn't get a chance to read your messages, since it was pulled by the moderators. Did you say something mean about non-Christians in it? Did you say they were going to Hell?
Whenever I see a pulled message, I know that the person who wrote it said something ugly. That's not nice, nmh!
Wow, ya think?
Order of magnitude plus smaller. A 9 is 10 times stronger than an 8, which is ten times weaker than a 7, etc.
