There will be Wars and rumors of Wars...
and
there will be Famines and Earthquakes
Mathew 24: 6-8 {Revised Standard Version}
6"And
you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not
alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7"For
nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and
there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: 8
all this is but the beginning of the sufferings.”
I
know that many of these things have taken place in the past. You
would be hard pressed to find a time throughout history that there
wasn't wars and rumors of wars. Famines? I need someone to chime in
on this. There are parts of the US going through some severe droughts
but we aren't suffering from any famine. Is the US immune from
famine? Are all industrial nations immune from famine? I know there
have been numerous famines throughout the ages and some not so long
ago. There have been many famines just within the past century. But
within the last 30 years or so almost all famines have been in third
world countries and many of those due to severe drought wars or
revolutions. According to Wikipedia, there have been 3 famines in
this century alone and we are barely 14 years into it. One caused by
war and 2 caused by drought. According to worldhunger.org, poverty is
the principle cause of hunger and harmful
economic systems are the principal cause of poverty and hunger. And
what is more harmful to economic systems than war and drought?
I
live in Oklahoma where once upon a time earthquakes were pretty much
unheard of... at least earthquakes of any size or frequency. But here
lately more, and more powerful earthquakes have been happening with
an alarming frequency. There are all kinds of different explanations
as to why this is happening but in my opinion it is due to “fracking”
or hydraulic fractal drilling. This is where they use powerful hydraulic pressure to fracture the
shale under the earth so that natural gas can be more easily
harvested by the oil and gas industry. The earth's crust may be quite
thick, but I believe it is much more fragile than most people would
expect. After all, a well placed blow with a sledge hammer can split
a huge boulder.
This is the 2.5+ magnitude earthquakes just for today on the USGS website!
Take the egg for example. Its shell can withstand a huge amount of pressure if applied to its entire shell, but apply the pressure to a single point and what happens? You crack the egg. We are living on an egg shell. And due to gravity and the volatile molten rock beneath the earth's crust it is under a tremendous amount of pressure. If you weaken the earth's crust in the right place at the right time in just the right way... who is to say what might happen? One thing is for sure as far as I am concerned, fracking to extract natural gas from under the earth can lead to more frequent and more powerful earthquakes. Anyone who doesn't believe this or who believes the so called independent experts who have said it is due to natural causes doesn't live around fracking or is extremely gullible.

I
have only touched on a few of the portents mentioned in the Bible
which foretell of some nasty events to transpire. Whether you believe or
not makes no difference to whether these events will occur or not. It only makes a
difference to the destination of your life force when the end does
come whether it be your end or the end times. If we do
witness the tribulation in our lifetime wouldn't it be much better to
be prepared? I will leave you to ponder that for a while.
Of
course I need to add that this is all my own opinion and speculation
for the most part just so some big oil industry or someone else
doesn't come along and try to sue me for slander or some such. I have
half a mind to eliminate this clause just so they would and it would
bring more attention to this issue. But these things, the earthquakes
and such not the fracking, have been foretold now haven't they? I
welcome your comments and opinions as always.
