DO THESE EARTHQUAKES MEAN THAT WE ARE AT THE END OF THE WORLD?

The continuing earthquakes which are escalating both in frequency and magnitude, all across the globe, are indeed an indicator that we are in the last days. 

When the disciples of Jesus inquired of Him:

“...when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”Matthew 24:3

Jesus answered them:  

"...Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains."~Matthew 24:6-8

It is important to realize that when Jesus prophesied that there would be "earthquakes in various places" that there was no way to ascertain such information. 

There was no technology to gauge seismic activity and certainly no way to access news of quakes "in divers/various places".

At that time, the only earthquake activity noted by the inhabitants of the planet Earth, would be those tremors directly "under one's feet". 

Therefore, this end times prophecy by Yeshua, points directly to our modern, technologically advanced society. 

Only today do we have the capability of detecting seismic activity deep within the earth and to technology to share this information worldwide.
As such, the sheer fact that we can not only detect, but also communicate the results of seismic activity; all across the globe, evidences fulfillment of this prophecy.

 Additionally, Jesus told His disciples that at the "end of the age" that all the signs He gave in Luke 24 would be as "birth pains".

Note that as a woman labors to give birth, the birth pains increase in frequency, duration and intensity. Therefore, the signs given by Yeshua would escalate just as labor pains do during the birthing process.

The fact that global seismic activity has indeed increased in frequency and intensity with larger quakes occurring closer together, is the literal fulfillment of this prophecy correlating with birth pains.

Please note that many authorities may try to wave these alarming quakes off, passing them off as normal; as if there has been no increase in recent decades. 

This minimization is a contrived effort by the scientific community to deceive the population, in order to not frighten and panic the "sheeple".

Often, they also refer to any new quakes as just "aftershocks". This terminology lessens the blow somewhat and makes the incredible increase in earthquakes not quite as shocking.

As outlined below, the truth is that there has been an overall 1500% increase in 7.0 or greater earthquakes world-wide over the past 30 years (from 1980-2010): 

From 1980 to 1990 the number of earthquakes with a 7.0 or greater was 8.

From 1991 to 2000 the number of earthquakes with a 7.0 or greater was 33.

From 2001 to 2010 the number of earthquakes with a 7.0 or greater was…121!



Please note that there have been several earthquakes this year that registered at 7.0 or greater initially and afterward,were downgraded to 6.8's by the United States Geological Service (USGS). 

Therefore, it appears suspect that this may be a concerted effort to lower the alarming statistics for quakes magnitude 7.0 or greater.

The below seismic events are the three quakes that were suspiciously downgraded:

Initially reported as a 7.1, the January 2, 2011 Chile quake was later downgraded to a 6.8:

On March 24, 2011 the Myanmar seismic activity was actually reported as TWO, back to back, 7.0 quakes (less than a minute apart). These two were later downgraded to just one 6.8 quake.


From 2000-2008 there was an average of thirteen 7.0 or greater quakes annually.

In 2009, the number of earthquakes 7.0 or greater was 16.

In 2010, the number of earthquakes 7.0 or greater was 21.

In 2011, for just the first three months, there have been a total of 7. (or a total of TEN including the three downgraded quakes.)


If the mounting pace continues, there would be at least twenty-eight 7.0 or greater quakes by the end of the year. 

If the three downgraded quakes were included, it would amount to at least FORTY 7.0 or greater quakes by the end of 2011.

As such, only a quarter into the year of  2011, we are almost halfway to the full amount of 2010's 7.0 or greater quakes for the entire year.

These are staggering statistics that ought to make everyone "sit up and take notice".

Factoring in the astonishing fact that the 9.1 earthquake in Japan is the most massive quake ever reported in recorded history, it becomes increasingly clear that we are seeing the fulfillment of the prophetic words of Jesus; regarding the end of the age and of His coming.

 As we draw closer and closer to the return of Yeshua; we can expect the "birthing pains" of escalating earthquake activity to also draw closer together.

The Lord is mercifully giving mankind these blaring warning signs that we are in the last days. 

God is alerting us that it is time to prepare ourselves for the return of Yeshua. His coming is nearing for those who belong to Him, prior to the wrath of God being unleashed upon an unrepentant world.

May we all be wise and heed these warning signals. It is time to repent of our sins and seek Jesus as Lord and Savior; elevating things eternal above the things of this world.

The hour is drawing late and we need to give God the priority He demands and deserves. We need to detach ourselves from the many allures of the world and draw nigh to God.

It is soon coming a time when all these earthly distractions, coveted by so many, will instantly vanish and be replaced by an avalanche of disaster, destruction and consuming fear.

May we therefore break free from the snares of worldly seductions and give God and His Kingdom our total devotion and obey His command to watch and pray:

"And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (partying, pursuing pleasure), and drunkenness, AND CARES OF THIS LIFE, and so that day come upon you unawares, for as a SNARE (TRAP) shall it come on all them who dwell on the face of the whole earth. WATCH ye therefore, and pray always, that ye MAY BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man (Jesus)."~Luke 21:
