Sorry, after learning so much about the cause of earthquakes incliding plate tectonics, I really have a tough time buying into Matthew 24:7. The Jehovah’s Witnesses talk up the earthquake angle in Matt 24:7 as well. Having rescued a few members from that danagerous bible based cult, I tend not to believe in these interpretations any more. The article is interesting though.
How exactly did you learn about the cause of earthquakes? Sure it wasn’t just a study of the effects? Nobody can go down to the mantle and see the cause.
Matthew 24:7 is a sure prophecy. There is no way that I would let someone’s misinterpretation shake my faith, much less make me transfer my faith to flawed scientists.
Glad you escaped the JW’s!
The data still says Matthew 24 is right on point though.
