Jesus's desciples asked Him, "...What will be the sign of Your coming and the end of the age (original Greet to English translation)?" Matthew 24:3.  This month's newsletter is the fifth in a series of ten newsletters that will expound on each of the ten signs Jesus said would signal His return, as recorded in Matthew 24.  Jesus said, "Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places" Matthew 24:7.  This month, the focus will be on the "earthquakes in various places" Jesus spoke of concerning the last days.  We will look at a 147-year (+3 months) history of major (>6.9) earthquakes throughout the world to determine a pattern and identify the magnitude of earthquake activity today:

DATES FROM TO     TIME PERIOD                              # OF EARTHQUAKES (>6.9)

1863 to 1900:            38 years                                      12
1901 to 1938:            38 years                                      53
1939 to 1976:            38 years                                      71
1977 to 2011:            33 years/3 mos. (to 3/2011)       164

The above survey, provided by www.earth.webecs.co.uk, reveals quite a remarkable increase in major earthquakes over the last 147 years!  This trend, as you can see, fits right in line with Bible prophecy.  Jesus said, "There will be great earthquakes in various places, famines, pestilences, fearful sights and great signs from heaven" Luke 21:11.  The amazing celestial orb seen and photographed above the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on Jauary 27, 2011, at approximately 1 am (IST), has had astrophysicists and aerospace engineers baffled.  Severe weather, storms and solar flares are also among the signs from heaven we are seeing in these last days.  Although you will not hear of them much in American (propagandized) media, there are severe famines and pestilences afflicting people throughout the world, especially in Asia and the Pacific (578 million) and Sub-Saharan Africa (239 million), according to the World Food Program.  You might be asking why American news media is propagandized.  I will say this, not to stray too far from the subject at hand, that the Bilderbergs and United Nations do not want people alarmed about the perils of hunger and pestilence.  As it is now, the United Nations works together with Muslim terrorist groups, such as Al-Shabab in Africa, in keeping food from being distributed to the starving.  You can research "Georgia Guidestones" on the internet for more information as to why this is happening.  You will also not hear much about tent cities in America either.  Nevertheless, America's largest tent city is located right here in Sacramento, CA, with over 1,000 people (as of 2011) and growing.  According to www.thegatewaypundit.com, there are tent cities in at least 55 cities throughout the United States.

A graph of earthquake activity, not limited by magnitude, is often presented on the Blog-News page of this website and it is also very telling.  Notice the drastic increase from 2010 to 2011:



Speaking of His return, Jesus also said, "When you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors" Matthew 24:33.  Are you ready to face God and give an account of the life you have lived on earth?  The Word of God tells us, "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" Hebrews 9:27.  If you haven't received Jesus as your Savior, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
