I believe the New Testament was speaking of the supposed last days before Jesus returns…
Mark 13:8
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
An 8.8 magnitude hit Chile’s capitol (south of it) this morning, apparantly. This after the one in Haiti is surely going to breed brimstone for the Pulpit Pounders in tomorrow’s sermons.
I haven’t yet delved, but I am wondering if earthquake frequency is up over the last decade.
Earthquakes, stock market collapse, and H1N1 OH MY!!
