Coincidence?
A massive earthquake in Asia unleashed tsunamis killing thousands, exactly one year to the hour after the Bam, Iran earthquake killed 26,000. What are the odds of two of the most destructive earthquakes in decades occuring exactly one year apart- almost to the minute!
December 26, 2003 - Bam, Iran, only 6.6 on the richter scale, but quake is centered directly under the city- 26,000 dead.
December 26, 2004 - Centered off the Indonesian island of Sumatra, the massive quake, which measured 9.0 on the richter scale, unleashed tidal waves across the Indian Ocean.
LOL!
I was speaking about the Book of Revelations saying something along the lines of all these disasters and murders and wickedness increasing as a woman in labor; a sign of the coming of Christ. (Kind of explaining how some Christians may take the earthquale as a religious sign.)
Yes. Matthew 24:7 Jesus talks of "birth pangs of distress". I believe it is the book of Timothy where Paul talks about the last days men becoming lovers of themselves, puffed up with pride, etc.
The odds of lightning strike the same place twice are exactly the same as it striking any other place the first time. If one searches back through time, you'll find many natural disasters that occurred on the same day but years, decades, or even centuries apart.
