EARTHQUAKE!

I was sitting in Mutt's Bar-B-Q yesterday eating lunch when all of a sudden my table started shaking and I was almost knocked out of my chair. I found out that an earthquake had happened over 400 miles away and I was feeling a shockwave sent to SC from Virginia by it. Yes, my friend the earth did move and I could feel it.

Scary thought isn't it-An earthquake on the eastern seaboard of the good old USA? Well it happened and many of us felt the reactions from it.

What does the Bible say about earthquakes?
Matthew 24:7 "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."

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."

Luke 21:11 "And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven."

Isaiah 24:18-20 "And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again."

Three things to remember about earthquakes:
1-Jesus is Coming!
2-Jesus is Coming!
3-Jesus is Coming!

'Nuff said!
