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.

And that's fine.

Those of us who believe Scripture and believe what Jesus said about conditions in the world right before His return watch all these earthquakes lately in conjunction with all the other fulfilled signs and see something more than just another earthquake.

There will be millions of people who believe these are just routine earthquakes. They are entitled to believe that.

Then there are those of us who marvel at the daily fulfillment of Bible prophecy - including "earthquakes in diverse places" (Matthew 24:7) and see something else entirely.
