Somebody had posted a thread about recent earth quakes and what it meant. Wish I could remember who it was.

Hmmm, you think Jesus knew what he was talking about?

Matthew 24
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Yeah that is true. As I recall, it had something to do with prophecy. That is about all I can pull out of the old memory soup.

I did but I don't remember the one I'm talking about being Biblical in nature. I seems like it was Nostra Damus type stuff.

Tim Snodgrass prophesied there would be two major quakes in Polynesia (which have already happened), then a huge quake on the Western coast of America and then a major quake in the New Madrid area.  It was discussed on the first two threads below.

Yes, these quakes seem like beats on a war drum. For everyone everywhere, it is a good time to keep short accounts with the Lord.

It appears that something significant happened at 22:10:00 but I am not familiar with how to read the graph.  Click on the Taiwan link below to see it.

Thanks for the ping! Looks like some heat energy is moving up.

Boy oh Boy.

REPENT SINNER. THE END IS NEAR.

(And that's no joke!)

Watch the NY area, too. Quake areas on both coasts and down the middle, plus the Yellowstone Super Volcano ... they could very well take us out and would explain why the United States is perhaps not in prophecy.

Heb 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

I checked a volcano site and can't find any in our around Taiwan but do find many north and south of Taiwan. Could one be in the making or is this one of those corner areas of a fault that is under pressure?

As much as the globalists and the Muslims try to scare everyone into what THEY are going to do, much much bigger is the picture in the Bible of what the L~rd is going to do.  The Word says the "earth will open its mouth to help the woman" (the persecuted).  That may be a geological event(s) of mammoth proportions and while many may die, it will save many others.  Airports, roadways, shipping lanes, communications and many other things could be seriously altered.  We could be looking at a blessing ahead.

Re 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

This is quite a swarm of quakes. Fortunately, a 5 quake is a shaker but not a building buster.

In 1983, when I built my house here in Utah, we had a lot of rain and snow over the winter. All that water had to come out of the mountains and it did in a rush. Flooding over Memorial day. All that rain allowed the grasses to grow, grass fires over 4 July. Small e-quake in june that year (5.0), and the multitude of grasses caused a billion grasshoppers that year.

I went to my insurance agent and asked if I could get famine insurance, because that was the only biblical plague I hadn't suffered.

HEY EVERYBODY!

This is what is called an earthquake swarm. They happen all the time. They are far better than the alternative, which is one big shift rather than several smaller shifts. One big shift means a magnitude 7-8 quake, which is usually bad.

If Biblical prophecies do apply, they would apply to several major quakes. That is NOT what is happening here.

This is also unlikely to be related to any volcanic activity in this area.
