EARTHQUAKES, STORMS, PESTILLENCES AND FAMINES SHALL INCREASE

EARTHQUAKES, STORMS, PESTILENCES AND FAMINES SHALL INCREASE

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."

Earthquakes, famines, disease, fearful sights. Does this sound like our world today? Lets look at the "Famines" mentioned in this prophecy first. Were you aware that one third of the people on this troubled planet are extremely hungry at this very moment. Were you also aware that thousands die of starvation across the globe each and every day! ALL the TV stations at one time or another are airing commercials of people asking for money to help feed the starving millions around the world. I understand we always had the hungry, but to this degree? NEVER!

In Ethiopia upwards of 4.5 million people, more than four times the number wiped out by the great famine of 1984-85, may starve this year if food relief is not provided--and soon. In Sudan, where as many as a quarter of a million people died of hunger in 1987-88, the most dire estimates suggest that 3 million could suffer the same fate by the middle of this decade. Once again the world may see those sickening images: skeletal children too weak to swat away the flies that swarm around their eyes; old people slumped against herding sticks, too weary to take another step. TIME Jan. 22,1990 art. AFRICA Death by Starvation

...at least 6 million people live at the brink of starvation. Relief workers expect that almost a million Ethiopians may die this year alone in what could become "the worst human disaster in recent history." After ten years of drought and civil war, twelve of the country's 14 provinces have been laid waste by a famine of biblical proportions. More than 40% of the country's 42 million people are malnourished, and 2.2 million have left their homes to wander in search of food. TIME Nov. 26,1984 art. ETHIOPIA The Land of the Dead


Every day we wake up reading about the millions upon millions starving all over this world of ours, and sadly most of us reading don't even realize this was prophesied by our Lord to occur just before His glorious return. Yet, what about the disease or pestilences the prophecy also proclaims as evidence of Jesus' return? The actual amount of pestilence running rampant upon this earth is so immense that I truly doubt that I could explain it accurately. Science has already attributed a large portion of the diseases due to the strange conditions of our planets ecology. Everything from the diminished magnetic forces, to the overwhelming amount of solar radiation bombarding the planet thanks to the weakened Ozone layers.

Disease and pestilence is an all too common occurrence upon our widely polluted planet. This day by day reality has become a fact of life for this generation that none would question. We have disease in our oceans, lakes and rivers. We poison our neighborhoods with disease laden toxic landfills. Daily, we breath a highly concentrated death into our lungs in the big cities. We actually test chemical and nuclear bombs that dissipate and spread all sorts of death into our atmosphere. Our children have become walking time bombs of disease mainly due to Sexually transmitted diseases, drugs and chemically laden and genetically engineered fast foods. And then we have the ever popular, AIDS crisis. This particular disease is one of great controversy. It is a disease that is circling the globe in quite the hurry. However, try to get an accurate figure from the media as to the amount of HIV infected people walking about now-a-days. The media, as always feels it is their duty to Mis-Inform the public to prevent panic. All this truly does is create is a naive population thinking it's not as bad as it seems, and then the problem mushrooms to un-recordable numbers by those that decide to take a chance with their very lives. And then you see as we see now. AIDS is running rampant in Biblical proportions.

If they would listen, there is a question I would like to ask the media. Why do they constantly push the "safe sex" propaganda to our nations youth? If it's so safe, why don't they push the same methods on smoking, or drinking? Do we every see safe-smoking? Or sake-drinking ads? We do see ads telling us to Quit Smoking, or Quit Drinking. But when it comes to sinful pre-marital fornication, or extra-marital adultery the media says try Safe Sex! Science has proven time and time again that there is no such thing as safe sex. But getting the media to believe that`is truly impossible. They prefer to believe scientist's only when it's convenient for them. Like when the scientists blaspheme and say there is no God, or the Pope shouts evolution is sound, the media eats that up. But if science tells them their sinful choices is actually killing them, they blow that off. I am afraid that, this Condom nation is headed for Condemnation!

"When we talk about the nature of man, we are standing on ground that has been pre-empted by Christianity. On this ground, science and Christianity now meet face to face. With one voice they declare that the future is precarious, and with one voice they declare that it is precarious because of man. Christianity puts its finger upon that in man's nature which science now gravely fears may cause his destruction and the destruction of the earth with him. Science and Christianity are now looking at the same thing in man. Science has no word for it, but Christianity has. That word is sin...

Sin, says Christianity, is inherent in man's nature. Unless something is done to destroy the power of sin in the heart of man, his existence in a scientific world will always remain under the shadow of imminent self-destruction." -Charles Clayton Morrison in The Christian Century, March 13, 1946, pp. 330-332.

Cancer has always been a definite killer in many forms in the 20th century. But lately in the close of the century as well as the end of the days, comes new killers. Of course AIDS is the one that reared its ugly head in the Autumn of 1979. But were you aware of the flesh eating viruses called EBOLA. A disease that is just as deadly as any other, and just as incurable. The actual list of new diseases in this century alone are astronomical to say the least. Many are not as popular or wide spread as some, but they are sadly, just as deadly. It is truly a grim fact looking back at the different forms of pestilence we have witnessed in these last days. This prophecy is indeed fulfilled.

Now what of the "Earthquakes" shaking our cities and towns across the globe? Some say "We've always had earthquakes." This is true... But were you aware that we only had 21 major quakes in the history of the world before the 1900's that killed more than 10,000 people at a time. The historic facts are as follows

Luke 21:11 states, “…great earthquakes shall be in divers places.” …What I found was quite interesting.

Notice the above chart. It shows that we had 21 Major earthquakes in 1370 years previous to the 20th Century. That's an average of 0.02 earthquakes per year that have killed more than 10,000 men woman and children. However, since the turn of the century, and commencement of the end times, we have had unbelievable amounts of quakes occurring. Now notice this next chart.

Did you notice that? Again we see 21 earthquakes, however these 21 quakes didn't occur over the course of many hundreds of years. NO, they occurred in just 84 years! (1906 - 1990) That's an average of 0.4 earthquakes per year that have killed more than 10,000 men, women, and children! That's 200 times more earthquakes in 84 years than in all of the recorded 1370 previous years of quakes! The record books don't lie! I actually deleted over 35 quakes from the years 1906 and on, because they were under 10,000 deaths each! Many were over 1,000 2,000 and even 6,000 people dead! The Lord is not to be taken lightly. The prophecy stated the earthquakes would increase in these last days, and as we see so evidently... they have!

In the last 90 years there have been over one million and a half fatalities from earthquakes alone. Discoveries in Prophecy A World in Turmoil Mark A. Finley p. 5

We are now experiencing over 6000 quakes per year worldwide of varying degrees of size, and just recently, this total was greatly enhanced in just three days!

4000 Earthquakes of all sizes reported in Tokyo in past 3 days. -CBN News 10/18/96


4000 quakes in just three days! Sure, most of the quakes were small, but the fact of the matter remains. Jesus said the earthquakes would increase in the very last days, and we would literally have to be blind as bats to miss such evidence as this. In fact, just the last eleven years (as of March 2010) we have seen a REAL increase in quakes. Notice the article below...
Why So Many Earthquakes This Decade?
By Rycharde Manne | February 28th 2010 12:04 PM

While Haiti is still sorting out the chaos from its January earthquake, the Earth suffers another massive quake in Chile. At a magnitude of 8.8 on the Richter scale this is one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. Concerns about a tsunami spreading across the Pacific have abated and the Chilean authorities claim they have the resources to handle the catastrophe. Why are we having so many earthquakes recently? Is it just that the media likes to report dramatic and tragic events, or has there been a quantitative increase? The graph below tells a worrying story.

The graph is compiled from data from the US Geological Survey (USGS), which monitors earthquakes throughout the globe. The data goes back over 100 years and looks as if this was compiled in 2007 or 2008. The URL which it points to has worldwide data on earthquakes but no longer has a graphical representation. Perhaps the graph is so alarming the USGS decided not to show data in this way. Just to fill in the recent data: 2008 saw 35 earthquakes of magnitude 6 and over; and 2009 saw a record-breaking 52, taking it way off the above scale - you can go count them yourself!


This alarming increase seems to have started in 1999. The conspiracy theorists have been all over this like a rash and numerous fingers are pointing to HAARP technology. There is increasing evidence that HAARP technology can alter the weather, but can it cause earthquakes? Even the official literature states that starting in 1996 HAARP tested its capabilities for geological mapping using ELF waves by modulating the ambient current in the ionosphere using HF radio waves. The official HAARP website has some interesting simulations of the fields created in the Earth's ionosphere-magnetosphere. Weather modification is another hornet's nest so I'd like to keep this to earthquakes.

However, this isn't a conspiracy website, so are there any scientists in this field who can explain this huge spike in earthquakes? An artefact of more measuring stations, surely not?

Update: we seem to have some answers! The above graph is an artefact of selective data. As some readers don't go through all the comments here is the link to the relevant comment and a new graph.

Article source

Notice of course the increase in earthquakes, but also notice how the scientists seek to explain this all away as they have in so many other prophetic fulfilments recently. By the way, their desire to hide the truth about such things was also prophecied.
