Well, that would be terrible…but it cannot be ignored when an official source is saying it. Here’s more.
“A 5.8 magnitude earthquake centered in Virginia rocked the Mid-Atlantic, sending shockwaves up and down the East Coast through Washington D.C., New York City, and up all the way to Concord, N.H., and Toronto, Canada. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the quake happened at 1:51 p.m. at a depth of 3.7 miles. The quake was centered 27 miles east of Charlottesville, Va., near the town Mineral in Louisa County. The movement lasted for no more than 30 seconds. Minutes after the quake, the director of the USGS, Marcia McNutt — who watched objects falling from the shelves in her office — cautioned that the shaking might not be over. “What the concern is, of course, is that this is a foreshock. If it’s a foreshock, then the worst is yet to come,” McNutt told The Washington Post.”
What I find ironic is that the east coast experienced a good-sized a quake before the west coast did, where all the faults are. But Jesus said there shall be earthquakes in diverse places, in the Tribulation. (Mt 24:7). He also said that the days before His coming will be like the Days of Noah, when they were all eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage, building and planting…unsuspecting of the judgment soon to come. (Mt 24:37). Not that there were no warnings, Noah’s 100 years of preaching and the ark itself were a big clue. But they ignored it, mocked and scoffed, just as they will in the last days. “First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires” (2 Peter 3:3).
It will be the same once again. The time just before Jesus Second Coming will come after a period of inexpressible tumult and natural disasters, and yet they will ignore them as warnings and judgments. How much more easy is it today to ignore the warnings a graceful God is sending. Pretty easy.
A commenter made an observation in the last entry I’d published about the twin quakes on Aug 23 in CO and DC. Anonymous said, ” A newscaster made a comment about the DC quake that since there was no real damage every thing has gone back to “normal”. One newscaster who experienced it was even talking about the earthquake excitedly like something cool had happened. It will be nothing more than one of many topics on facebook, twitter posts and water coolers around America. I know this is an understatement but the world is going to get blindsided by the coming time of Judgement.”
Very true words.
As for the mocking and scoffing of God’s warnings, Isaiah said, “Now stop your mocking, or your chains will become heavier; the Lord, the LORD Almighty, has told me of the destruction decreed against the whole land.” (Is 28:22)
