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.

Now, now, as one freeper told me, if it happens to non christiansm then God did it, but if it happens to christians then satan did it.
When I asked who had more power God or satan, all I got was silence. lol
In Calif- those are called aftershocks.

“The Lord works in mysterious ways”
Wow, so will I.
That’s a pretty simple question to answer...
Satan has as much power as GOD allows him to have....
His *Influence* on earth, is who we fight against.
Ephesians 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms....
someones got to think so
Yes, but those can go on for a couple of days - or at least a few hours, intermittently.
The article makes it sound like the quake itself last 27 minutes.
I'm skeptical of this anyway...I'm a Christian and I certainly believe in signs, but this article smacks of sensationalism.
Luke 21:25-26, 27, 28
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and waves roaring;
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

So when tornadoes wipe out christian churches, God allowed satan to power to do so, is that it?
“GOD is definitely not happy!”
God is laughing, and I wouldn’t call Him “happy.” See Psalm 2 verse 4:
Psalm 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Right now the Muslims are at verse 3, saying “Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”
God is already at verse 4.
“Be wise now therefore, O ye kings.”
Satan has power over the earth, until Christ returns..
Satan has no Power over the Holy Spirit..
Satan cannot stand where GOD does....
3 AM? interesting...........
Heads up....Iranian ships are boxed in by our guys!
Over the weekend there has been a reshuffling of our US naval assets in the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.
As a result of these movements the US Navy has now moved the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise and four other warships into place at the southern end of the Suez Canal opposite the Iranian Navy’s 12th Flotilla Kharg cruiser and Alvand missile destroyer.
The Iranians now find themselves cheek to jowl with a major concentration of America naval might piling up in the Red Sea and Suez. Understandably, they were not sure what would happen if they went forward with their mission to transit the Suez Canal, for the Mediterranean, for the first time in 30 years on their way to Syria.
While this little drama was playing out over the weekend, two more aircraft carriers, the USS George Washington and the USS Carl Vinson, were redeployed to the Gulf of Aden, thereby also blocking the entrance to the Red Sea. With both ends of the Red Sea now controlled by the US Navy, Iran is going to have to re-evaluate the mission of its 12th Flotilla.

When I typed in The Comedian, it says there is no one on FR with that name.
Well, I guess he crossed the line somehow. He's in the ozone now.
Nice try at avoidance. That wasn’t the question, nor the point.
You said that satan get his power from God. I’m asking you then, if when people say that christian churches are destroyed by satan, then God allows it to happen?
Since satan gets his power from God, it is obvious that God has more power than satan. So, when God doesn’t stop satan, its as if God was behind the destruction. RIGHT?
