EARTH CHANGES APPROACHING

[ADDED PARAGRAPHING BY Q--OTHERWISE, NO CHANGES]

    Note: We have received numerous requests for copies of Timothy's latest book, "Earth Changes Approaching". Although this book has not yet been printed, note that as soon as it is printed we plan on sending a free copy to all those who have given to this ministry in 2002. We are currently waiting for the materialization of printing-costs ($2,000 needed for first batch of books).   

  EXCERPT FROM BOOK   

Historically, the largest earthquake to ever be recorded (since the invention of the seismograph in the 1850's) was a 9.5 earthquake in Chile, which took place on May 22, 1960. This South American quake was so powerful that it sent tsunami rippling across the entire Pacific. Over 2,000 people died in the earthquake and tsunami which followed. Fifteen hours after the quake rocked Chile, the tidal wave hit Hilo, Hawaii (61 deaths) ~ 7 hours later, the tsunami reached Japan (over 200 deaths). There were also casualties reported in the Philippines, New Zealand, Samoa, Indonesia, and across the entire Pacific Rim.   

The tidal waves triggered by the Chilean earthquake were relatively small, ranging from 10 to 60 feet high, yet had a devastating impact on the half the globe. One of the greatest threats from tsunami comes not from earthquakes themselves, but from underwater landslides which are triggered by the quakes. For example, the largest tsunami ever recorded took place on July 9, 1958 in Lituya Bay, Alaska. The tsunami was recorded as being 1,720 feet high (530 meters), yet the earthquake which triggered it was only 8.3 on the Richter Scale.    

    Although this Alaskan tidal wave was enormous, the underwater area involved in the landslide was relatively small, and the tsunami only affected Lituya Bay, which in 1958 was only inhabited by moose, bears, and a few fisherman and hunters. Thus, the loss of life was minimal. But this event was a turning point for the way scientists viewed the threat from undersea landslides.    

  After 1958, a study of underwater chasms and valleys became a priority of seismologist, so that vulnerable areas could be mapped and identified. One of the greatest landslide threats discovered lies off the coast of Oregon, near the Cascadia Subduction Zone. This undersea chasm is so expansive that it makes the Grand Canyon look like a gopher hole. A major earthquake occurs along the Cascadia Subduction Zone approximately every 300 years, and the area is now overdue for a major event (the last one occurred exactly 302 years ago in 1700 AD, which triggered tsunami that wiped out several Indian tribes in Oregon).   

    Alaska has had its share of major earthquakes. Six years after the 8.3 Lituya Bay earthquake, another mammoth earthquake took place in Alaska on March 27, 1964. The Prince William Sound Earthquake measured 9.2 on the Ricther Scale, and is the 2nd largest earthquake ever recorded. The tsunami from this quake, although small compared to Lituya Bay, killed over 110 people from Alaska to Crescent City, California.   

    Only four earthquakes have been recorded in history as exceeding 9.0 on the Ricther Scale ~ 2 of these quakes were located in Alaska. On March 9, 1957, the third largest earthquake recorded in history took place in the Andreanof Islands, Alaska. This 9.1 earthquake was a turning point in the study of volcanoes, proving that major earthquakes can indeed awaken volcanoes that have been sleeping for generations.    

    At exactly 2:22 in the afternoon, as the 9.1 earthquake sent tidal waves crashing across the Andreanof Islands, Mount Vsevidof violently erupted on Umnak Island (a volcano had been dormant for over 200 years). The connection between major earthquakes and volcanic eruptions would be further established 3 years later in 1960, when a chain of dormant volcanoes violently erupted in Chile during the unprecedented 9.5 earthquake.   

  Although all of the above earthquakes were large, none can compare to the New Madrid, Missouri quakes, which occurred during the winter of 1811 - 1812. This series of quakes lasted for 5 months, and took place long before the seismograph was invented. If you compare this series of quakes to the 9.5 Chilean quake (which lasted for 3 weeks), the New Madrid earthquake would have to have been comparatively much larger (lasting 5 months).   

  The magnitude of the New Madrid earthquakes had to be truly enormous. In 1964, the Prince Williams Sound earthquake (9.2) could only be felt as far away as Seattle, Washington. But 18 of the New Madrid earthquakes rang church bells as far away as Boston, Massachusettes, and could be felt across the entire eastern half of the United States.    

   Over 150,000 acres of forest were destroyed, new lakes were formed, and tsunami crashed along the shores of the Mississippi River, leaving a graveyard of destroyed boats and debris. Witnesses reported that the entire river appeared to be flowing backwards during 5 of the largest quakes. Although there were roughly 2,000 quakes during a 5-month period, the five BIG quakes occurred between December 16, 1811, and February 7, 1812. The first 2 of the 5 big quakes were epicentered in Arkansas, both occurring on the same day (December 16th).    

   The third earthquake was epincentered in New Madrid, Missouri (January 23, 1812). The fourth and fifth quakes occurred in New Madrid on February 7, and were the largest of the series. It was these two quakes that destroyed the city of New Madrid, and toppled houses as far away as St. Louis. (Note: Although some sources report that there were three large quakes, technically there were 5 mega-quakes [2 on 12/16/11, 1 on 1/23/12, and another 2 on 2/7/12].    

   The USGS, although conservatively estimating the New Madrid quakes to be in the 8-point range, have recently published a report indicating that 5 of the earthquakes had to be at least 2 to 3 times large than the Prince Edward Sound earthquake, which measured 9.2 on the Richter Scale.   

   On November 20, 2001, I was given a detailed prophetic vision of another series of quakes which will soon shake the United States Midwest. The coming quakes will exceed the magnitudes of the previous New Madrid quakes of 1811 - 1812, and will result in significant earth changes along several areas of the Central United States.    

   In Arkansas and Missouri, the earth changes that began 191 years ago during the New Madrid quakes will reach maturation. Along the New Madrid fault line and several other fault lines which wind there way up to the Great Lakes, there will be a sudden drop of elevation.    

   The size of the Great Lakes will decrease, as water drains into the newly formed rift and cascades southward into the Gulf of Mexico. Within less than a day, a new gulf will appear in the United States. North America will be literally divided in half from east to west. The majority of changes will take place within 24 hours, but aftershocks from the quake will continue to rattle the region for 7 months.    

   The force of the water cascading from north to south during the birthing of the initial rift will lay the foundations for diverse topography and landscapes along the newly birthed shoreline.    Inland Tsunami And Displacements Of Rivers And Lakes   

   Prior to 1811, tsunami were believed to be only an ocean phenomen. But on December 16, 1811, a new precedent was set for tidal waves. When an earthquake approaches or exceeds 9.0 on the Richter Scale, earth changes are imminent. These changes can be anywhere from minor to catastrophic, depending upon the geology and terrain of the earth.    

    If a body of water happens to be near the epicenter, one of two things can happen: 1) The quake will generate tsunami, or 2) The body of water will be displaced, and shift to another location. During the New Madrid quakes of 1811 - 1812, fortunately the course of the entire Mississippii river did not change, but tsunami along the river destroyed many boats docked along the shore, and overwhelmed many smaller vessels that were further out in the river. As fissures opened and closed below the surface, the agitated water gave the illusion that the river was flowing backwards.   

    During major earthquakes, the elevation of land rises and falls. The greatest earth changes occur not when the land is thrown upwards, but when it collapses. In Alaska, during the Prince Edward Sound earthquake, many fertile valleys and farmlands became transformed into water-filled marshes overnight, as underground water reserves filled large portions of land that collapsed. In New Madrid, the shaking was so intense that land waves could be seen rippling across the face of the earth. The elevation of the earth rose and fell over an area of 78,000 - 129,000 square kilometers, extending from Cairo, Illinois, to Memphis, Tennessee, and from Crowleys Ridge, Arkansas, to Chickasaw Bluffs, Tennessee. Many new lakes were formed, including Lake St. Francis in eastern Arkansas, which is 64 kilometers long by 1 kilometer wide.   

    The future map of the Gulf of the North America, which will extend from the Great Lakes in the north, to the Gulf of Mexico in the south, is not without precedent in earth history. The Gulf of California, which runs along the San Andreas Fault, was once connected to Mexico. But at one point the region violently collapsed into an eternal blue abyss, known today by Mexico as the Sea of Cortez.    

    The northern end of the Gulf of California is very shallow (no place greater than 600 feet deep), then gradually merges into the marshlands of the delta (similar to the marshes created overnight by the Alaskan earthquake of 1964).    

    The future Gulf of North America will have at least 3 to 4 times the mass of the Gulf of California. The tsunami triggered from the drainage of the Great Lakes will move southward at a catastrophic rate, engulfing entire cities in its path as it winds its way south into the crystal blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico.    

    To the northeast of the Great Lakes in Canada, newly formed channels will connect the Gulf to the Atlantic Ocean. Although this inland tsunami will indeed be large, it will be small compared to the tidal waves generated by the earth changes throughout the Pacific Ring of Fire.

    I WOULD ADD, PROPHETIC TYPES EVEN OF SHAMMAN, NEW AGE ETC. TYPES HAVE "SEEN" SIMILAR EARTH CHANGES OCCRING IN OUR TIME FRAME ALONG THE CENTRAL U.S. It almost seems as though God has tried every channel to warn us.

JUST SPENT 10 days in San Diego. Great place. I love California. Lived there for ~10 years. But California and Californians have a LOT to answer for. God may make of that state a list of object lessons.

Thankfully, there are many who know Him there, as well.

AWESOME POST as usual. Will have to ponder that after I get to NM--more at length. THANKS.

[Sabertooth]

Thanks for all of your replies and interest. I just want to reiterate that I'm not claiming prophetic significance for this dream I had.

I'm really not much into dreams, since most are the equivalent of defragging a hard drive. I remember almost none of mine, I just don't care. But occasionally, dreams have a plot where events seem to transpire in real time rather than dream time. To get from point A to point B in the dream, the distance must be traversed, rather than a sudden shift in dream environment. Those types of dreams are at least interesting to me, and such was the case with my earthquake dream.

In the interest of full disclosure, I'm a reasonably informed layman on the subject of earthquakes, and was aware of Missouri's New Madrid earthquakes of the early 19th Century prior to my dream, though I'd never imagined the Mississippi Valley disappearing beneath the ocean.

I'm passingly familiar with Edgar Cayce, the sleeping prophet, because I was interested in Chariots of the Gods and Lost Continent type books in the 70s. I'd never before read of predictions similar to my dream, though. I've also never read Ruth Montgomery or Arthur Ford.

Several raised the question of how a subduction of the Mississippi Valley and oceanic encroachment could occur. I don't really know, but here are a few thoughts, just for the sake of pursuing them...

The Earth's diameter is 8,000 miles, and 4,000 miles to the core. The crust is estimated to be about 30 miles thick. Most Earthquakes take place in the crust. Most, but not all...

"Rarely are seismologists lucky enough to deploy a portable seismic array and record a magnitude 8 earthquake less than 600 km away, but that is just what happened last June. We deployed 19 broadband stations during April in central Bolivia. Less than two months later, on June 9, 1994, a Mw = 8.3 earthquake occurred 636 km beneath northern Bolivia. This is the largest deep earthquake to occur since the installation of modern seismic stations and was reportedly felt as far away as Montreal, Canada. This truly amazing earthquake was recorded on our portable broadband array."

This huge earthquake occurred over 400 miles deep, in the Earth's mantle. There is much we don't know about the structure, pressures, or environment down there. Many were surprised that an earthquake could occur this deep.

I actually felt it in Los Angeles. I was lying on the floor, and felt a small quake. I flipped on the TV, expecting to see the SoCal seismo-cams... nothing. Strange, given that this was less than six months after the Northridge Quake. It wasn't until a few hours later that reports started coming in from South America, and mention was made of the quake being felt in Montreal. I factored for time zones, and realized this was with quake I'd felt.

If it's possible for Los Angeles to feel a quake in Bolivia, it's possible for Los Angeles to feel a quake in Missouri.

A subduction of the Central United States would only need to be of a mile or two to see the entire region flooded by the Gulf of Mexico. This is less that 0.5% of the depth of the deep Bolivian Quake, and 0.05% of the depth to the center of the Earth.

And a subduction wouldn't necessarily require a corresponding displacement elsewhere, and certainly not immediately. Deep Earth structures might absorb the subduction for thousands of years.

For that matter, a subduction might just be a response to some other unrecognized bulging of the Earth's surface elsewhere.

So, the mechanism for such a catastrophic earthquake, may, in fact, exist.

Jeepers, Sabertooth! Bump!

Great news. I guess I can hold off on my truck payment, house payment, credit card payments and stock up on fishing gear. Sounds like I will have some time off work.

"I'm really not much into dreams, since most are the equivalent of defragging a hard drive".


No doubt about that!That is so good. LOL I do think about Earthquakes on a fairly consistent basis, only because http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/latest.htm is my homepage,it updates every 5 minutes too and I'm always ready for one,at Work, Home or Play,as every Californian ( So. Cal at least )should be.

As Solomon said, nothing is new under the sun. The North American continent was mostly a sea in the Ordovician time. click

Illbay, sorry to drag you in here, but look at Utah where the only remains of the huge Bonneville Lake are the salt flats and the remaining Great Salt Lake and that was only from a few thousand years ago.

In the Ordovician, a scant 480 million years ago, most of what we now call North America was swamp or beach-front property. Tectonic plates do what they will.

[Pistias]

LOL, forgive me, but God sure didn't grace Elijah with a gift for art...

VERY INTERESTING POST. I don't recall enough specifics but roughly seem to recall it as you do only less detail.

[Quix]

GREAT CONTRIBUTION. THANKS MUCH.

[Quix]

I REMAIN skeptical of the quake assertions that things have not increased but I haven't had the time to check it out thoroughly.

Thanks for your kind post.

[Quix]

GREAT CONTRIBUTION MUCH APPRECIATED. I really appreciate lay experts like you.

[Quix]

OH, I WOULDN'T GO THAT FAR UNLESS GOD PERHAPS IN A BURNING BUSH TOLD YOU TO.

Those of us who call HIM Lord are still responsible to Him as well as to those we have made commimtments to. There is still that persistent and universal law about sowing and reaping which is plenty sobering as well.

Fishing? I don't know. I suspect many would be quite choked up so to speak from all the pollution. On the other hand, might be plenty of organic . . . . debris . . . . to put it kindly--for fish to feed on. I wonder if there are any sturgeon in the area.

CONCUR on about all points. I may make it my home page. Am on their email list.

Great post.

Tim Snodgrass, the author of the article at the top of this thread and the one who saw the New Madrid visions, has a note on his website now saying:

"E.T.A. Of Release Of Report On Twin Polynesian Quakes Is Approximately Friday, August 23 ... Thank You For Your Patience While Report Is Being Composed... "

He is in the Philippines where August 23 is tomorrow, over the International Dateline.  Tomorrow of course is August 22 in America. [Maybe that's why he can tell ahead of time. Heh heh heh.]

Here is one to compare:  The bear killing the Jewish baby -- how it is related to the Tim Snodgrass vision:

Black bear kills baby girl at vacation colony in N.Y. and  Infant killed by bear in NY state

This is what I think of these signs Warren:

PUZZLE PIECES*

• A bear attack against Ester Schwimmer;
• Isaac Abraham tried to save her;
• The attack occurred in Fallsburg NY, 70 miles from NYC;
• The Jewish Child was from NYC, Brooklyn
• Three children, two saved, one perished;
• Black bears do not attack humans;
• 5 month old child, a young bear
• Police Chief Brent (name means “Mountain” or “Hilltop”) Lawrence (Laurel, City South of Rome, St. Lawrence martyred by being grilled alive 258 ad)
• Pathologist Ward (Watchman) Stone

COMMENTS

Let’s group these puzzle pieces with the Fiji Island earthquakes of Aug 19, that portend of prophesied earthquakes along the California Coast and along the New Madrid fault, prophesied by Timothy Snodgrass and others.

Years ago, the Lord told me that the Russian attack against the US (seen by many, including Duduman and myself) would be preceded by this California Earthquake.  The state animal of California is the bear.  Duduman saw several nations coming with Russia.

Francisco Palou was a missionary, who was entering, for the first time, a valley in Central California, when he was suddenly attacked by a BEAR.  Palou was miraculously rescued from the BEAR.  Since the attack occurred on November 30, and it was St. Andrews day, he named the valley SAN ANDREAS.

The earthquakes are connected with the BEAR ATTACK, and this sign just confirms to me that Timothy Snodgrass is right on the mark with his earthquake prophecies, and that we had better seek God for mercy. 

We know that we are going to have trouble in this nation.  It is pointless to even try to pray it away.  It would be bad for our nation to this trouble delayed, as this trouble will bring repentance.

The question, as Nita Johnson phrased it earlier today, is whether or not God is going to spare this nation from BEING GRILLED ALIVE  a nuclear haymaker from a BEAR that is not supposed to be dangerous.  The question is whether God will allow the absolute and total destruction of the United States, which has been prophesied by many.

Isaac and Abraham are trying to save us through the word of God.  Will we listen and turn, or wind up in FALLSBURG, in the same condition that Jerusalem found herself in 70 AD?  Will God find some Esters who will beautify themselves and make intercession with the King, or will Ester be killed?  We’ve already had the warning in NYC in Manhattan.  Will Brooklyn be next?

I do not know if America can be saved, but I do know that anyone with ears to hear and eyes to see should be drawing very close to the Lord their God RIGHT NOW.

*I wrote some things about this matter last night and didn't post them.  In what I wrote then, before finding the above just now, I made the comparison to puzzle pieces and some people not liking the picture on the puzzle so were resisting putting it together (believing).  It is interesting to see Mr. Bening use the same term, Puzzle Pieces.
