An earthquake shook up residents at the entrance to the Suez Canal, two days before two Iranian warships are expected to sail through it.

An earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale shook up residents at the entrance to the Suez Canal early Monday morning, 48 hours before two Iranian ships, a frigate and a supply vessel, are expected to enter the canal.

The National Institute for Astronomical and Geophysical Research reported that tremors from the 3 a.m. quake lasted for 27 minutes, but caused no damage.

The ships had originally been expected to enter the Suez today (Monday), but Egyptian officials announced the delay this morning, without explanation.

Wow. The few earthquakes I've experienced have only lasted seconds.

God exercises His veto whenever He wills to do so.

We believe God moves, we expect Him to, and when He does it is still so stunning! He has such élan!

Bogus article.

The nearest earthquake was a magnitude 5.1 in the Gulf of Aden (where earthquakes are routine) over 1,600 miles from the Suez Canal, where it certainly wasn’t felt.

I’m assuming they’re referring to a series of aftershocks. A 27 minute shaker would be... Biblical.

On second thought, I’m not assuming anything.

Oops, I forgot, if it's posted on the internet, it's true.

The article itself indeed exists.

But what it implies about the earthquake is simply false. As I mentioned, it was magnitude 5.1, not 5.9, over 1,600 miles from the Suez Canal, and wasn't felt at the Suez Canal (and the time of shaking claimed is just ridiculous.) Just seems like another desperate attempt to twist the facts of science into certain religious beliefs.

Apparently, Dr. Wright didn’t teach his disciples like Obama much about the Bible and Israel.
