A couple of days ago I pointed out that Luke 21:11 suggests that we will hear about great earthquakes-rather than regular earthquakes-in diverse places prior to the Second Coming of Christ.
- Luk 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.
I also said that I would not disagree with people who argue that we have heard about great earthquakes in diverse places recently given the reports of strong earthquakes impacting various places around the world in recent years...
I was curious whether the number of great earthquakes in recent years is comparable to another time period in the past. Yesterday I located some data about past great earthquakes and created a couple of charts that enable us to compare recent years with the past.
- Today I share these charts with you so you can see how great earthquake activity in recent years compares with the past.
You will notice that there is no apparent trend in the number of magnitude 8.0 and greater earthquakes since 1900. However, the chart does show that there has been a record number of magnitude 8.0 and greater earthquakes over the past decade or so.
A skeptic could argue that the results in the above chart are influenced by how I chose to distinguish each time period.
- For instance, I used the period between 2001 to today to define a time period instead of 2000 to 2009 to define a time period…
To address this potential issue, I created this second chart comparing the number of magnitude 8.0 and greater earthquakes across different decades from 1900 to today (link to the chart in case you are unable to see it on your screen):
Like the first chart, you will notice that there is no apparent trend in the number of magnitude 8.0 and greater earthquakes since 1900. However, the second chart does show that we saw a record number of magnitude 8.0 and greater earthquakes from 2000-2009 and we already are off to a quick start in this current time period.
The above charts suggest we are living in a period where there are a historically high number of magnitude 8.0 and greater earthquakes around the world.
- However, we should recognize that we are only able to compare time periods over the past several decades. We do not have the data to compare recent years with other time periods over the past 2,000 years…
- Nevertheless, we can say that we have recently seen a historically high number of magnitude 8.0 and greater earthquakes in the timeframe (111 years) that we can account for.
It remains to be seen whether we will see an increasing number of great earthquakes in the coming years, but the number of great earthquakes should increase in the coming years if we are approaching the End Times…
Note
[1] Megaquakes are usually defined as earthquakes that are magnitude 7.0 and greater. I would have preferred to look at magnitude 7.0 and greater earthquakes since 1900, but I was unable to locate data that accounts for every magnitude 7.0 and greater earthquake that has taken place over the past 100 + years across the globe.

I see a very definite trend. Compare your chart to the print out a pregnant woman gets from the heartbeat/contraction monitor during labor.
II ELEVENS: JAPAN HAARPooned. Illuminati played their Combined Disasters game card along with Tidal Wave & Nuclear "Accident". Hollywood predictive programming & conditioning (Battle: Los Angeles) merges with in-your-face MSMedia "news" interviewing experts about imminent (SUPERMOON) MEGA-QUAKE disaster in America on West Coast or New Madrid (Bicentennial Anniversary of 1811 on History Channel). Another HAARPoon in time to blame it on the moon?? "OUT OF CHAOS: ORDER." 322?
That's a very interesting observation you make! I haven't thought of looking at a medical print out until you mentioned it.
“He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed ” Matt 16:2-4
There is a reason God chose to include verses such as those above. If we are humbly searching God's Word(rather than the 5 o'clock news) we will indeed “understand” the signs are staring us right in the face.
“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matt 24:6-8
Notice the language. These are “the beginning of sorrows” and “but the end is not yet”.
Here is fair discussion concerning the fulfillment of the many signs given to us:

Just for everyone's benefit, it should be noted that ebiblefellowship that Jim has mentioned is a Camping promoter. Back to the old May 21 thing are we? Here are some facts that I got from reading all of Camping's books, lots of his articles, listening to his forum, etc. 1) Camping says that he worships the same god as the Muslims and that his god's name is Allah. 2) Jesus and Michael are the same person and it was Michael who shed his blood on the cross 3) Jesus did not become the Son of God until the resurrection 4) knowing Jesus or even having heard of Him is not necessary for salvation. 5) a baby can be saved as well as an adult 6) salvation is purely by election, not repentance, not belief in Christ. 7) The thief on the cross showed that you do not have to do anything as Christ assured him that he was going to paradise because he had been elected, so the fact that he never led a life for God was irrelevant. (One deduces from this teaching that I can live whatever way I want with no regard to God, as if I am elect I am elect no matter what. I don't even need to know Jesus) 8) The gospel message is not repent and believe to be saved, but there is judgment coming. 9) There is presently a great multitude that no man can number coming to Camping's god. I do not see multitudes professing belief in Christianity, in fact I see the opposite. I do however see multitudes coming to the god of Camping i.e. Allah. They are growing in numbers at a huge rate. 10) Camping's method of interpretation and his numerology has come to him and him alone from his god. Nobody else has ever had this message. 11) only a handful of people knew God before the flood, very few after, nobody at all was saved during Jesus "sorry" ministry as he called it, and virtually nobody has been saved since until Camping gave the world the true interpretation of God's word. As far as I can see, Camping has a different god, a different Jesus, a different gospel. Therefore what he is saying is irrelevant to those of us who worship the God of the Bible. All of his interpretations, numerology and date setting comes from this god of his. Since his god in no way resembles the god of the Bible, we need not pay any attention to Camping.
The question that has me puzzled - if you are elected no matter what, why does anyone feel the need to warn the world. Either they are elect or not, and telling them isn't going to change anything, right? It's not like you can have a change of heart and repent. So it is pointless to preach at us under Camping's theology. Let it go already.
Just for clarification, when I said I see multitudes coming to the god of Camping i.e. Allah, I meant the Muslim god Allah.
"And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." Hab 2:2-3
Let's make it "plain upon the tables"...

Matthew 24:23-26 “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there, BELIEVE IT NOT. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders: insomuch that, if it were possible, THEY SHALL DECEIVE THE VERY ELECT. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; BELIEVE IT NOT."
When Camping is asked a question he can't answer, he starts spouting Scripture or changes the subject. I have yet to hear him answer a question directly. You do the same thing. I have asked you direct questions before, and you ignore them and spout more Campingisms. Answer me the following questions. Do you believe Michael shed his blood for your sins? Do you believe Christ only became the Son of God upon the resurrection? Do you believe you worship the same god as the Muslims? And lastly, please answer this one, because I simply don't understand. If you believe salvation is strictly a matter of being elected, and repentance is non-essential as Camping says, then why are you all bothering to shout judgment at us? If we are elect, we are going. If we aren't nothing can change that according to your theology. So what is the point of telling everyone judgment is coming if they can't do anything about it to be saved? It is pointless to be doing this from your perspective. Now, for once, answer the questions directly. I am tired of the politician waffling.
