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.

Was it Jonathan Edwards who preached the sermon about falling into the hands of an angry Almighty God?

Bet Midler notwithstanding, it depends on one's relationship with HIM as to how one views close proximity TO HIM.

As Loving Father looking at you through Christ's Blood covering or stern exacting Judge can be very different.

[Quix]

Interesting that she had a dream paralleling a Scripture.

[Quix]

He's not acting like these are the first and second. Not sure where the lack of clarity is occurring.

The first was many months ago.

I expect him to say something about there being two more than 7.3 quakes and what that signifies vs one, say.

[Quix]

My heart really went out to the family with the bear situation.

But I believe there will be many more situations like that. The Bible is clear about wild animals being a problem in this end time era.

[Quix]

I C.

THANKS for the reality check. I'm usually in a hurry and may miss many subtleties. Sorry.

[Quix]

Great gift to many needy young men. Keep up the good work. Sowing into lives is a lot better than into a bank account IMHO.

[2sheep]

no wing:

Daniel 7:4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld ***till the wings thereof were plucked***, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

[Quix]

THANKS TONS WHITEGUY, sorry I missed your humor.

A lifelong hazard and flaw sad to say.

THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS.

I don't mind people having fun with what I write.

I just have a very ingrained habit TOWARD taking things at FACE VALUE FIRST AND FOREMOST. And when in doubt, I certainly tend to do that. May well happen again.

Blessings,

[Quix]

I think even those of us believing in modern day prophecy a la Joel and the Apostle Paul ALSO need to be skeptical. However, I believe we ALSO need to be quick to affirm what God forcefully affirms to us in our spirits and with The Word.

[bearsgirl90]

Interesting that she had a dream paralleling a Scripture.

It's amazing considering we have never discussed that aspect of the Book of Revelation with her or our son, whom we home school. Bible study is part of our daily schooling, but we have never covered that particular area of the Bible.
It's awesome, I'll tell ya! Praise the Lord!

[Quix]

What I'm not any longer ready to be adamant about is that a lot of the traumatic stuff is going to happen in one near time era.

WHAT IF the idea that the first 3.5 years of tribulation occurs BEFORE the 1,000 years of peace and 3.5 years of it afterward. I don't know of a Scripture off the top of my head against that idea.. . . what if it's true.

It DOES SEEM TO ME that GOD'S WRATH COULD LOGICALLY COME AFTER the 1,000 years of peace when satan is loosed for a time to tempt those born during the 1,000 years.

I suspect that the massive meteor causing the earth to reel would be part of God's wrath, not likely part of the first 3.5 years of Tribulation.

It seems to me that the earth reeling part would be just prior or part of the earth being "moved from it's place" and the old earth being replaced with a new earth as The Bible says--or "being done away with."

Just opinions, however. . . . and maybe not even strong opinions.

[Quix]

IT SEEMED TO ME that anything that dramatic and serious that close to ND would AT LEAST send lots of refugees there. . . . but also would likely rattle at least a few dishes there.

But the area is not one I'm really up on the topography on a lot.

[Thinkin' Gal]

WHAT IF the idea that the first 3.5 years of tribulation occurs BEFORE the 1,000 years of peace and 3.5 years of it afterward. I don't know of a Scripture off the top of my head against that idea.. . . what if it's true.

What if 3.5 years has already expired?

Matthew 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Luke 3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

Mark 1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

John 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
John 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

>>>

Matthew 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Matthew 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

Mark 15:37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
Mark 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

Luke 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

>>>

Daniel 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Although many parents try to protect their children from things they consider horrifying, G~d has long been giving dreams and visions to children.  I have seen such and I know of a man who had a dream at age 12 of a horse struggling to get its nose high enough out of a sea of blood to breathe, i.e. up to the bridle, and I have read of many other such dreams and visions by children.  Those things can make a believer out of one in a hurry, unless they harden their heart and refuse to depart from iniquity.  See Heb. 3.

A young couple with no church background came to a church and started attending regularly.  Soon they contacted the pastor's office because one of their young children had a vision of Jesus which was unlike the pictures seen with the throbbing heart or knocking on a door and the peace and love, robe and sandals.  The child had a vision which she absolutely insisted was Jesus.  He had hair white as snow, his eyes were like fire, his face was shining, he wore a gold girdle and had burning feet and a voice like a roar and a sword from his mouth.  Because that description did not fit the parents' view of the robe and sandals, etc. they asked the pastor.  He just reached for his King James Bible and read them this:

Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14  His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18  I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Does anyone remember the details of this story I remember hearing? President Bush Sr. was suppose to go by naval vessel to meet at some Arab summit. It had to do with Israel I believe.

Anyway the area the naval vessel was to land, was the exact same place that Paul was shipwrecked in a storm. I think Paul had gone against where God wanted him to be, or something.

When Bush Sr. arrived in the area there was such a terrible storm that it took a couple of days or more before he could safely leave the ship, and at the same time a hurricane off the coast of Maine tore up his house at Kennibunkport (sp). The same Hurricane that the movie "Perfect Storm" was made about.

Is there any place online where I can learn more about the details of this event?

[2sheep]

We agree with Thinkin' Gal on the 3-1/2 years of Yeshua, Him being cut off, and 3-1/2 in the endtimes, and of course no Pre-Trib.  Keep in mind that Oslo was a 7 year agreement and is past.  The simplest thing is to take every doctrine one has ever heard and lay it before the Lord in prayer and repentance and check out each item with Him.  We did and He showed us many doctrines were of men, not of Him and we were to let Him re-teach us by His Spirit from the Word.  There is enough in the Bible to hide the truth from one who comes with the wrong attitudes, so each of us should consistently be seeking the Lord for the answers to all of these matters like signs and timing.  Mary held matters and pondered them and should do the same.  Lu 2:19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.  I'll consider the issue of the war after the 1,000 years after I am through considering the Rev. 6 Seals that are being loosed now.  The first 5 seem to be happening at the same time and the 6th will be some huge events involving earth change:

Re 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

Lots of warnings are happening which may be for the short term future -- decks falling into the sea, balconies dropping, trains going over cliffs.  I've posted those links many times.  That IS one of the way the Lord's speaks, as well as to individuals through a still small voice.  All those who think they are going to heaven should definitely put an axe to the root of all sin in their lives and sharpen up their hearing because He can tell who loves Him enough to keep His commandments and who does not.

>When Bush Sr. arrived in the area there was such a terrible storm...

Yes, here it is.  It was a judgment of God and a clear warning, obviously unheeded.  See this thread:   NEW MADRID--WHAT'S IN A NAME?

1. October 30, 1991: The Perfect Storm—As President George H. W. Bush is opening the Madrid (Spain) Conference to consider “land for peace” in Israel’s Middle East role, the “perfect storm” develops in the North Atlantic, creating the largest waves ever recorded in that region.

The storm travels 1000 miles from “east to west” instead of the normal “west to east” pattern and crashes into the New England Coast.  Thirty-five foot waves crash into the Kennebunkport home of President Bush.

And so, you can see the connection. A water channel is prophesied to replace dry land in the center of the United States along the New Madrid fault. The event that is said to be the cause of that division is the participation by the USA in the division of Israel. That process began in 1991 in Madrid, Spain. The meaning of the name of that fault, that is to be the place of the great division of the USA, given hundreds of years ago, is "THE WATER CHANNEL".

Also, see this important post by Jeremiah Jr on the same thread and subject:

         154 posted on 6/26/02 6:30 AM Pacific by Jeremiah Jr -- and also see his 166 following.

[2sheep]

This is the New Madrid named after Water Channel (see above post):

"...Geologic structures related to earthquakes in the central Mississippi Valley region have been deeply buried over hundreds of millions of years by thick layers of sediment. Geophysical studies have revealed a major buried northeast-trending feature known as the Reelfoot Rift (here shown in cross section), which formed more than 500 million years ago when powerful geologic forces began to pull the Earth's crust apart. Most quakes in the central Mississippi Valley appear to be related to the major faults and large bodies of igneous rock within the rift. ..." more here:  Uncovering Hidden Hazards in the Mississippi Valley

Thank you so much, this Madrid connection has been nagging the back of my mind since this thread began and I didn't make the connection. Pretty scary stuff.

[2sheep]

You are welcome.  Please also see Jeremiah Jr's link from #196 on this thread.  I will be praying about what "four _____" means [horns/kings/beasts/notable ones?] and I'll probably start with Daniel:

"Madrid Quartet" -- U.S., Russian, EU, UN.
