The powerful earthquake that unleashed a devastating tsunami Friday appears to have moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis.
"At this point, we know that one GPS station moved (8 feet), and we have seen a map from GSI (Geospatial Information Authority) in Japan showing the pattern of shift over a large area is consistent with about that much shift of the land mass," said Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
Reports from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Italy estimated the 8.9-magnitude quake shifted the planet on its axis by nearly 4 inches (10 centimeters).

how does this compare with “normal” earth wobble?
Your question is above my pay grade. :-)
Pretty soon people will start harping about “Crustal plate displacement” or something like that.
I see all of this as a warning, weird animal behavior, magnetic pole shifts, earth axis moving.
And there is nothing that can be done by any human being to stop it, offhand I would say Satanic powers are at play, with so much support towards Satan he is feeling frisky.
I’m not religious, matter of fact I totally avoid the holy roller threads here, but I honestly believe mankind is being tested right now.
To whom will the human race pray allegiance to?
Even my religiously-impaired hubby mused about this very subject, tonight.
Me, I’m picking God.
[I know how the book ends]....:)
New tagline...
Well if I were pushed into being a preacher I would say the earthly religious scale has tipped in to the favor of Islam.
And with the balance of worship now supplementing a Satanic verse the powers below ground are awakening.
That is an excellent tagline.
Refer to EternalVigilance’s timely tagline.
I’ve always had a soft spot for the “under dog”.
Let them awaken.
Their day will come.
God wins.
The end.

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
-- Matthew 7:24-27
The devil you say?
I guess arguments could be made either way. My impression is that earthquakes in a biblical context are often tied to divine displeasure. Yet the creation was permitted to become subject to death and decay on account of the presence of sin in it, and the element of decay that is known to science as the second law of thermodynamics is so universally pervasive that one wonders how many devils it would need to keep it up. Metaphysically mind boggling. But it’s heartening to know there are twice as many obedient angels as devils.
I’m sure the devil loves the suffering, death, and chaos, but God uses even these things to many good ends.
Psalm 18
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song on the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said:
1 I will love You, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.
4 The pangs of death surrounded me,
And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD,
And cried out to my God;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled;
The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,
Because He was angry.
8 Smoke went up from His nostrils,
And devouring fire from His mouth;
Coals were kindled by it.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down
With darkness under His feet.
10 And He rode upon a cherub, and flew;
He flew upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness His secret place;
His canopy around Him was dark waters
And thick clouds of the skies.
12 From the brightness before Him,
His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.
13 The LORD thundered from heaven,
And the Most High uttered His voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.[a]
14 He sent out His arrows and scattered the foe,
Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.
15 Then the channels of the sea were seen,
The foundations of the world were uncovered
At Your rebuke, O LORD,
At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
16 He sent from above, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me,
For they were too strong for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the LORD was my support.
19 He also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands
He has recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all His judgments were before me,
And I did not put away His statutes from me.
23 I was also blameless before Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
25 With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;
With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
26 With the pure You will show Yourself pure;
And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.
27 For You will save the humble people,
But will bring down haughty looks.
28 For You will light my lamp;
The LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by You I can run against a troop,
By my God I can leap over a wall.
30 As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the LORD is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
31 For who is God, except the LORD?
And who is a rock, except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength,
And makes my way perfect.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of deer,
And sets me on my high places.
34 He teaches my hands to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your right hand has held me up,
Your gentleness has made me great.
36 You enlarged my path under me,
So my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them;
Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
38 I have wounded them,
So that they could not rise;
They have fallen under my feet.
39 For You have armed me with strength for the battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies,
So that I destroyed those who hated me.
41 They cried out, but there was none to save;
Even to the LORD, but He did not answer them.
42 Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind;
I cast them out like dirt in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people;
You have made me the head of the nations;
A people I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me they obey me;
The foreigners submit to me.
45 The foreigners fade away,
And come frightened from their hideouts.
46 The LORD lives!
Blessed be my Rock!
Let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God who avenges me,
And subdues the peoples under me;
48 He delivers me from my enemies.
You also lift me up above those who rise against me;
You have delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the Gentiles,
And sing praises to Your name.
50 Great deliverance He gives to His king,
And shows mercy to His anointed,
To David and his descendants forevermore.
I guess I’d rather roll holily (is that a word?) than not, if I have to roll somehow.
Getting back to Earth so to speak, this axis shift must now be even more so pronounced, and its that angle that gives us our seasons.
Now comes the time to analyze just what that means, from my perspective in Alaska our weather has taken a different course, and arguably the lower 48 has seen its share of different weather.
What if we see yet more events that further shift the Earths axis? I doubt they will send it back to normal, perhaps the arctic will become more temperate?
I for one want to know exactly where the North Pole is, and where the magnetic pole is, and how far off they are.
Bookmarked in my Bible, now.
Thank you so much!
I don’t have a view into the primary sources, but this sounds like “four inches” as it would be measured at the surface of the globe by the angle subtended by the difference in the earth’s rotational axis as compared before and after the quake. Not a lot, and a one-time event rather than part of a cumulative trend. The coasts of America and Europe are moving apart more than that every year.
>> shifted the Earth on its axis.
Relative to what? Did it shift back?
Wonder how much of what we're seeing in seasonal changes is actually due to the axis shift overtime vs. the hoax of globull warming.

The just had to redo lines at some airport due to the axis natural shift...
And we still think we affect the climate! Man is insignificant on the actual scale of the bigger scheme of things.
