Recent large earthquakes in the first two months of 2010 and in Haiti, Argentina, Venezuela, Eureka, California, north of Chicago, Japan, and Chile, would seem to indicate a trend, and not a good one.
First, the rate comes to about one major earthquake every two weeks. Second, the US Geological Survey reports that earthquakes of over 7 on the Richter Scale are still constant in number, not increasing or decreasing.
The USGS also claims that we should expect to learn of 17 major quakes in one year and one great earthquake in any one year.
Chile was the great earthquake at 8.8 on the Richter Scale,
But while the USGS claims the earthquake frequency is not off the norm compared with years 2000 through 2009, no one has made a comparison of time frames.
In other words, was there a moment in World history where we had so many large earthquakes within such a short period of time? As of this writing, there's no documentation of such a frequency of quakes as the one the World has seen this year, with so many large quakes in a two month period.
Stay tuned for more updates on this topic.
There are many hundreds or thousands of large earthquakes each year (>6.0) that go unnoticed by the public. There is no reason to be concerned that we are experiencing more large earthquakes than at any point in time.
ReplyDeleteTwo thousand years ago, someone warned of a time in the future, when earthquakes in "one place after another" would serve as one of the several signs that would be occuring, that would mark a significant period. That "someone" was Jesus Christ. His warning found at Matthew 24:7,also mentions other events that would be taking place. Sadly, he goes on to say that, "For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking,men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be." There is much more to worry about than most people know. We are living deep into the "end times". Anyone who wants to survive,needs to learn about God's coming kingdom, repent, and do His will.
