One Christian blogger has been analysing earthquake forecasting website The Big Wobble and has drawn the conclusion that the end of days are near. According to The Big Wobble, several earthquakes will hit in the coming weeks – some registering as high as magnitude nine, which would be truly devastating. But one Christian believes this will not be the end of Earth’s tribulations.
Sign Post of The End Times, a Christian prophetical website, says that the earthquakes are major signal that Jesus is set to return, and states the clues are in the Bible.
Indeed, several passages of the Bible does point to earthquakes as a sign of the impending apocalypse.
Isaiah 13:13 reads: “Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the LORD Almighty, in the day of his burning anger.”
While Isaiah 24:9 says: “The earth is broken up, the earth is split asunder, the earth is violently shaken.”
Website Sign Post of The End Times concludes that Jesus will come to Earth following the predicted quakes.
The blog says: “Throughout the bible there are warnings of great and terrible events to come at the end of days, (The Day of the Lord, or more commonly known as the Tribulation).
“Even Jesus Christ himself warned his disciples, (the Olivet Discourse), of the impending terrible events that would befall this world prior to his second coming to planet Earth.
“So heed the signs; Read the warnings.
“They are all around us, and that is the purpose of this blog to warn people that may visit this site that time is short.
“Now is the day of Salvation.”
But experts dismiss the claim, saying that there is no way earthquakes can be predicted.
John Bellini, a geophysicist at the US Geological Survey (USGS) has said: “We can’t predict or forecast earthquakes.
“Sometimes before a large earthquake you’ll have a foreshock or two, but we don’t know they’re foreshocks until the big one happens.”
