Yes, TaraP, we are seeing the birth pains Jesus told us would happen.

Draw close to the LORD in these perilous times!

We are at the point where the LORD is about to be the only hope for survival.

[Strategerist]

Yes, TaraP, we are seeing the birth pains Jesus told us would happen.

We're seeing completely normal, routine earthquake activity.

The number of large earthquakes was exactly average in 2009. The number of large earthquakes so far in 2010 is not particularly anomalous.

This earthquake occured in an unsurprising area, along a plate boundary, Hispaniola has a long history of repeated, massive earthquakes.
