HUNDREDS OF QUAKES SHAKE THE MIDWEST: AMERICA’S “BIG ONE”?

Posted on by

Over 200 earthquakes have been recorded across the New Madrid Seismic Zone, shaking the heart of America’s Midwest and reigniting fears of another massive earthquake beneath the Mississippi River Valley. Scientists are warning that the New Madrid Fault Line—responsible for the catastrophic 1811–1812 earthquakes—is showing renewed signs of movement. These were some of the most powerful quakes in U.S. history, strong enough to make the Mississippi River flow backward, ring church bells in Boston, and permanently alter the landscape. Now, modern sensors are detecting ground deformation, microquakes, and crustal stress building once again beneath Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky—a dangerous reminder that this ancient fault is far from silent. If a major earthquake were to strike the New Madrid Fault today, experts warn that cities like Memphis, St. Louis, and Little Rock could face devastating consequences. Unlike California, much of the Midwestern United States is not built for seismic activity. Fragile infrastructure, unreinforced brick buildings, aging pipelines, and critical bridges across the Mississippi River would be at risk of collapse. A magnitude 7.5 or higher earthquake could cripple transportation, destroy power and water systems, and leave millions displaced. Some scientists estimate that a modern-day New Madrid quake could cause over $300 billion in damage, rivalling the worst natural disasters in American history. In this documentary, we uncover the science behind the New Madrid Seismic Zone, the geological mysteries that make it so unpredictable, and the warning signs that suggest another megaquake could be close. From historic records to cutting-edge USGS data and GPS monitoring, we break down how pressure builds deep underground and why it could unleash another Midwest megaquake in our lifetime. Could America’s “Big One” strike not along the San Andreas Fault, but right in the middle of the country? However, almost half of California’s faults — including San Andreas — are overdue for earthquakes The San Andreas Fault is the longest fault in California, stretching about 746 miles (1,200 kilometres) from the state’s south at the Salton Sea to its north off the coast of Mendocino. The evidence may be more alarming than anyone realizes. Also, it fits with Jesus end times warning of increased volcanic activity as well as famines and pestilences.

“There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.” Luke 21:11

END TIMES EARTHQUAKES HAPPENING NOW

A major, preliminary magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck in the South Atlantic Ocean late Thursday, the United States Geological Survey reported, prompting Chilean authorities to issue an advisory for a potential tsunami along parts of Antarctica.

This is just one of the many earthquakes that are being reported this month. A M8.8 in Russia and a M6.3 in Indonesia, while the Australian continent experienced a moderate M5.6 in Queensland and a magnitude 5.5 on August 19.

“There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.” Mark 13:8b

“For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.” Matthew 24:7

“There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences.” Luke 21:11

NEW STUDY ON THE CASCADIA FAULT: EARTHQUAKES THAT COULD SINK CITIES. The Cascadia Fault is one of the greatest seismic threats in North America. Recent studies show that, in addition to massive earthquakes and tsunamis, parts of the coastline could suddenly sink, creating permanent risks for coastal cities and communities. In this video, we explain what science has revealed about the Cascadia Fault, the potential impacts on the Pacific Northwest, and—most importantly—how preparation can save lives. Based on data from the USGS and research led by Dr. Tina Dura of Virginia Tech, this video provides reliable insights into seismic hazards and the urgent need for preparedness.

PROPHESIED END TIMES SIGNS

Jesus gave us many warnings about the world before his second coming. They are recorded in the Olivet Discourse in all three Gospels so it is obvious Jesus wants us to heed His warnings: Matthew 24:1-25,46, Luke 21:5-36 and Mark 13:1-37. Eg. “There will be great earthquakes and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.“ Luke 21:11

Thousands of people in Japan are spending the night in evacuation centres after a powerful earthquake (7.6 magnitude) shook the coastal Noto area in Ishikawa – near the quake’s epicentre. 

Four people are confirmed to have been killed, the Kyodo news agency reports, and dozens of others have been injured. An unknown number of people are trapped beneath the rubble of collapsed buildings in several towns.

The 7.6-magnitude quake struck at around 16:10 local time (07:10 GMT) on Monday. Tsunami warnings were issued and later downgraded. About 60 tremors have been recorded following the initial quake.

The BBC’s former Japan correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes – who was reporting from Taiwan – said several hundred metres of the main expressway between the cities of Toyama and Kanazawa had been ripped apart by a landslide. Video from Uchinada, also in Ishikawa prefecture, showed the surface of a road rippled and cracked. Damage to the Onohiyoshi Shrine in Kanazawa was also pictured. Major highways were closed near the quake’s epicentre and more than 36,000 households were left without power, according to utilities provider Hokuriku Electric Power.

In February 2023, more than 2,000 people were killed when an earthquake, of 7.8 magnitude struck central Turkey and north-west Syria, in one of the most powerful quakes in the region in at least a century, while a second powerful tremor hours later threatened to overwhelm rescue efforts.

EARTHQUAKES INCREASING EXACTLY AS PROPHESIED PRIOR TO JESUS RETURN PART 2

Huge Magnitude 7.8 Earthquake Strikes Alaska

Huge Magnitude 7.8 Earthquake Strikes Alaska

An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 struck off southern Alaska’s coast late Tuesday, shaking the Alaska Peninsula and briefly sparking tsunami concerns before officials said no destructive waves were coming. The earthquake was centered in the Pacific Ocean about 60 miles southeast of Perryville on the sparsely populated Alaska Peninsula, striking around 10:12 p.m. local time (2:12 a.m. Wednesday ET). The Alaska Peninsula protrudes from mainland Alaska and is flanked to the southwest by the Aleutian Islands. Reports of significant damage, if any, weren’t immediately available. A tsunami warning initially was issued for south Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula, but was canceled by early Wednesday, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The warning sent people to higher ground in cities like Sand Point, an island community of about 1,000 people off the peninsula, the Anchorage Daily News reported. People in Sand Point gathered at a high school until shortly after midnight, when officials gave an all-clear, Jordan Keeler, an Anchorage-based city administrator, told the newspaper.

More than 20 aftershocks followed the quake late Tuesday to early Wednesday, ranging from magnitudes of 2.8 to 6.1.

EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES ARE NOW ERUPTING WORLDWIDE

The waves of earthquakes are rocking the centre of the U.S. and the sudden awakening of several volcanoes around the world may be a sign of the pre-Messiah shake-up predicted by the prophets. At the same time, several far more mild earthquakes in Israel seem to embody the Biblical concept of God’s mercy being aroused by Man’s actions.

The earth seems to be waking up as seismic activity is being reported around the globe. Last month, a 6.5 magnitude earthquake shook Idaho, generating a multitude of avalanches. The quake was the largest in the region since a 6.9 quake hit in 1983. There have been 238 earthquakes in Idaho in the last week according to the U.S. Geological Survey website. Five of those have been substantial in size rating 4.0 to 6.5. Idaho isn’t new to experiencing earthquakes.

Two weeks before Idaho felt the earth move, Salt Lake City, Utah, approximately 340 miles away from the Idaho epicentre, was hit by a 5.7 magnitude earthquake. Since that earthquake, there have been 886 smaller earthquakes and aftershocks in the Salt Lake area. The belly of the country is clearly rumbling as the University of Utah Seismograph Station mapped a total of 980 tremors throughout Idaho, Utah and Wyoming since March 18

Earthquakes and Volcanoes Are Now Erupting Worldwide

An article in Discover explained the epidemic of earthquakes as being caused by the continent “stretching,” a process described in German as “horst and graben.”

“As North America continues to stretch across the Basin and Range, these faults can generate earthquakes as the valleys continue to drop,” the article explained. “Both of the earthquakes that happened in Nevada and Utah recently were on one of the normal faults that bounded a valley.

VOLCANOES AROUND THE WORLD

But it is not just the central U.S. that is experiencing a seismic awakening. Since January 21, the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland has experienced more than 8,000 earthquakes and about 10 centimetres of land uplift due to magma intrusions underground. Geologists believe the volcanic systems in the region become active about once every thousand years. The last time this region experienced volcanic activity was 800 years ago. Beginning in the tenth century, the volcanically volatile period lasted for 300 years.

The region is about 30 miles southwest of Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital, but is only nine miles away from Iceland’s international airport. A major eruption could shut down travel for all of Iceland as well as endanger the nearby town of Grindavik as well as the Blue Lagoon, a popular tourist destination. There is also a nearby geothermal power-plant which could be endangered by volcanic activity.

As if that wasn’t enough, the Krakatoa volcano in Indonesia exploded on Friday. Though two relatively small eruptions were recorded, the volcano is a hotspot and cause for concern. In 188, a Krakatoa eruption had one of the highest death tolls of any volcanic eruption, killing more than 36,000 people. The most recent eruption at the site was in 2018, generating a tsunami and killing 437 people.

Volcanoes are explicitly mentioned in the Bible as one of the “end times” signs as God shakes all that can be shaken as a wake up call that He exists and that He judges unrighteous nations.. The following Scripture reveals how God refines His own people.

And I will bring the third part through the fire and will refine them as silver is refined and will try them as gold is tried; they shall call on My name and I will answer them; I will say: ‘It is My people’ and they shall say: ‘Hashem is my God.’ Zechariah 13:9
