7.8 Sumatra earthquake, earthquakes are a sign

For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. (Mark 13:8)

Jesus said that earthquakes in various places will be a sign of His soon return.

Yesterday there was a 7.3 quake at the US-Mexican border. Today there has been a 7.8 in Sumatra Indonesia. Back at the Cali-Mex border there have been 1000 quakes in the last 24 hours, aftershocks of that big one yesterday evening. Also, there is a NEW quake swarm at Yellowstone: as reported at the Raging Debate blog:
"My friend Stormbringer who monitors the Seismos around Yellowstone closely wised me up to a new Swarm of quakes around the caldera there.  These swarms seem to be coming much more often now, and though so far the magnitudes are small, this seems to be a more focused event and could indicate deterioration in the integrity of the surface structrue of Yellowstone.  I'm hoping Stormbringer will join us here so we can hash this one out.  Here are the latest in the swarm of Yellowstone Quakes:"

Now is the time to repent. Repent means that you recognize you are a sinner. That means you know you think, say, or do things that displease God. If you are truly sorry you have sinned (and we all have, Romans 3:23, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God") then just believe that Jesus is the only worthy one who can forgive them, and ask Him. He will! Turn from your sins, repent, for the end is nigh.
