Earthquakes

Jesus said,  "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.  There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.  All these are the beginnings of birthpangs." Matt. 24:7-8

Birthpangs increase in frequency and intensity as the birth draws nearer.  Jesus told us that one of the signs of His imminent return is a great increase in earthquakes.  Out of the eleven largest quakes recorded, eight have occurred since 1948. Three of those were in 2010-2011!

Here is a link to a graph of earthquake intensity compared to other forms of energy:

The signs of the times are all around us.  Jesus said,  "Now, learn this lesson from the fig tree; as soon as it's twigs get tender and it's leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away."
Matt 24:32-35

The generation that sees all the signs happening at once, our generation, is the one that will also see His return! Thanks for reading my blog!

Does this sound like our society?

2Tim 3:1- 5  "But mark this; there will be terrible times in the last days.  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than of God - having a form of godliness but denying it's power. Have nothing to do with them."

You can read stories illustrating every one of these in our newspapers on any given day. Or watch the evening news on TV.  We are living in the terrible times described in this passage.  There are still good people in this world, but our society as a whole has degenerated into a morass of self-centeredness and lack of love.
