I have no personal indications and none of others that I trust much.
Personally, I believe it will be in stages--a sequence of very dramatic unprecedented quakes etc. over months and years.
The follow-on quakes in the Sumatra area are unprecedented but some geologist types don't admit it while others are noting it.
Then there's the business of the well in Virginia or West Virginia reported in a thread on FR which a geologist affirmed--the water was rising and falling significantly and startlingly in response to waves from the Sumatran quake on the other side of the planet. Also, in another thread on FR there was another geologist's report about the ground rising an inch or so IN RESPONSE TO THE SUMATRAN quake.
The resident expert geologists on FR have insisted such could not happen. When the threads and facts were pointed out to him, he was totally silent on it--refused to comment.
We shall see. In California--sell.
imho.
I expect something dramatic in the PAC Rim before 60 days after the Sumatran quake are done. I don't know it that's a true hunch or not. It's too very subtle for me to put much stock in but I still tend to expect it.
The best way to change the shape of the U.S. would be to take over Canada. The whole N.American continent would be one. Canada has no army or navy to speak of and best of all the citizens have very little in the way of firearms. (guns to you in Rio Linda). And best of all G.W. Bush would be their president.
There will be plenty for all of us to see and experience. We will become sick of it. Numbed beyond words by it all.
Thanks.
And for your charitable pings this last week.
Or.. nothing will happen. Could go either way.
Cygnus, aka the asterism Northern Cross.

From post 17:
The 'Skull Nebula' can also be seen between the North America and the Pelican nebulae.
John 19:16-18
16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
Here you can see the location of NGC 7000 (North America Nebula) in relationship to Cygnus, or rather the head [of the Northern Cross], alpha Cygnus: Deneb, "tail".
LOL
Not my reality that "nothing will happen."
I consider it almost as certain as the sun 'arising' tomorrow.
The when and the details alone are uncertain, to me.
Heh, I know, Quix...
In your relaty, this makes complete sense...
In mine, it's word salad. :~D
err.. reality ;~D
I think I understand that.
Here's how the appearance of the United States will change sometime in the future:
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 "(16) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: (17) Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (18) Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
There is likely a greater percentage of believers in the USA than in most other countries.

Quix, thank you for this thread. May we all continue to watch and pray. JM
There will be changes. I don't go for 'Earth Changes', but it is likely that the earth will eventually once more be in an Ice Age, maybe in another 10,000 years. It might even freeze from pole to pole, and it wouldn't be the first time. In any case we have about 500 million years until it is too hot on earth for plant and animal life to survive, so if we have any long-terms plans we ought to start thinking about that, too.
Your post sounds so wise, learned, knowledgeable and erudite. Alas, my discernment is too poor to be able to tell if it's learned or genetic. Probably both.
I will highlight some of your post with a prayer that it will be good seed in all of our lives bearing good fruit, and thank you Thinkin' Gal:
Revelation 3
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
The comment that maybe nothing will happen or it could go either way ... reminds me of that venerable Christian man several hundred years ago who was the butt of many jokes for living a devout life and for having faith and for fearing the Lord.
He said that if he was wrong, the worst said of him would be he was a good and decent man who loved his family and had lived a just life.
If he was correct, he would go to meet his maker having availed himself of the Lord's help and received forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith and provision for life after death.
The question he posed to the skeptics was what would happen to them if he was right?
The Bible says of ten handmaidens waiting for the bridegroom, nine grew weary and fell asleep and so did not refill their lamps and ran out of oil. When the bridegroom came, they were unprepared.
If it is the End Times, what are you doing to be prepared? Do you have on the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, the shoes of the gospel, the shield of faith, and the Sword of God which is His word which is a two-edged sword? Is your lamp trimmed and burning and full of oil? Is your life built on sand or on a solid rock? If the Bridegroom of the Ages, the Lord Jesus, is returning to claim His own, will you be one bought with a price, or will He say to you, 'depart from me, I never knew you'?
Hosea 6:3
"So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD
His going forth is as certain as the dawn."
Thanks for a good, fitting point about being ready for one of the most transforming events to occur compared to all of history past and likely so all of the otherwise future ahead.
