The majority of earthquakes that happen each day are under 2.5 and considered tremors. After looking at the IRIS Seismic Monitor, it astounds me to think that they are not showing MOST of the activity.

1 Thessalonians 5
5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

[SUP]2 [/SUP]For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

[SUP]4 [/SUP]But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Even a woman that is about to give birth is given warning beforehand. If she knows the signs and "watches" for them; that moment does not catch her unawares.

Maybe you know there was an earthquake in Delaware last summer I think it was. The conspiracy theorists said that it was the government black ops blowing up the nephilim jailed under Washington DC, or something like that. Keep us posted. It's probably just a random quake under 2.5 like Markum says. Note, your town has a nearly 30% chance of an earthquake in any 50 year period: Oklahoma
I didn't know that about Delaware.. As far as us having an earthquake, I guess if God wants to move me He will... :)

Even a woman that is about to give birth is given warning beforehand. If she knows the signs and "watches" for them; that moment does not catch her unawares.

Who are "they" and "them' written above?
Those that say "Peace and safety" because they do not do as Jesus said to do, "Watch and pray", and so they deny the signs that He said to be watchful of for the day of the Lord.

It is the same as these...

Jeremiah 14
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.


And these...

Matthew 24
[SUP]37 [/SUP]But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[SUP]38 [/SUP]For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
[SUP]39 [/SUP]And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


What becomes of "them"?

2 Thessalonians 2
[SUP]11 [/SUP]And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
[SUP]12 [/SUP]That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.


What is that lie? "Peace and safety."

Be warned that this may come here after...

2 Peter 3
[SUP]2 [/SUP]That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
[SUP]4 [/SUP]And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.



So this I say to you, brethren...

2 Peter 3
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

There is a common phrase for world class leaders used in parts of Christianity, as well. Don't know if you ever heard it. Maybe it applies here. It's "movers and shakers".

Earthquakes

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/?source=sitenav

is a site where you can "search earthquake archives". I wondered if we have been having more earthquakes yet. I put my criteria at more than a 6.0 and searched for the last 20 years (I think it was, or so) and did a count. Maybe it was 7.0 and higher too. Anyways, there has been about the same for that whole period counted year to year. About 15 if I remember correctly. I did the search about a year ago.

Try the USGS reports. This one only measures 5.0 and above.
Google Image Result for http://www.bgr.bund.de/EN/Themen/Seismologie/Bilder/statistik_g_en.png?__blob=normal&v=2
The number of high scale earthquakes does not seem to have increased much, but the number of earthquakes overall has increased significantly.
The statistics for earthquakes given in the movie "2012" were actual scientific observations of this increase. Of course the movie in and of itself was a Hollywood dramatization.

My spiritual mentor encouraged ME to be quiet about the things God showed me when I was learning... and to let HIM use others to confirm those things to me... that was my beginning training in walking in the spirit and as a matter of fact... I have learned over the years... if I stay quiet... I then never mistakenly interfere with anything... because the Demons are listening and whispering too.
Also...the Lord as my husband... I would not go repeating everything my human husband said to me (if I had one) so I kept this principal also. Often... when I am speaking by the spirit.. it isn't a matter of "God said such and such... it's more like later I think... gosh "where did THAT come from?" or a person will tell me... "THe Lord rally spoke to me in your words" and I'll be like "REALLY?... halleluja!!!

The Lord really spoke to me in your words. :) There is much wisdom in what you have said.

I came across a scripture today while looking for something else..

Deuteronomy 13:3
you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul.

I want to be held accountable, so I'm laying it on the table for all eyes to look at ...
I have shared some things that God has showed me in awake dreams .. I do not however, wish to do something God wants to reveal Himself .. He is quite capable and needs no help from me ..
I am ignorant I will admit and certainly have not shared intentionally thinking I know anything ....sharing more on a level to gather pieces of information from those who have knowledge ..

this scares me thinking I might have.. Scripture to lead me into correction if so, is appreciated..
I apologize for any mistake I might have made ...by doing so... I won't be commenting... Just reading and see where the lord leads me in this ... Thanks everyone
I just know that it would be difficult to convince me that I had received a valid prophecy if I had. I wouldn't take audible, disembodied voices as evidence either. Might not even take visions alone as evidence - although they'd be very pursuasive at first. I think first the receipt of a prophecy, a prayer to the one true God for a sign, the receipt of that sign, and then asking again for another sign and receiving another sign. Then I would probably believe the prophecy was valid.

Signs signs... everywhere there's signs...

I've never had a prophesy,dream or vision. Never heard an audible voice thinking it was God,an angel or demon. When I "hear" from God it's mainly just sort of a word picture in my head,unfortunately narrated by someone that sounds a lot like me,but maybe has a more mellow tone to his voice. lol Not sure as if I'd want that gift or blessing...looking back in the bible at all the prophets,it seems like they had a tough road mapped out for them. People think I'm crazy enough now & I think God knows how pathetic & weak of a person I am,so he spares me things like visions. He more than likely knows my fat little head would go BANG!

I think if God wants to give someone a prophecy he's going to do whatever it takes to back it up. So pray to him and ask him for difficult signs. I think there'd be a reason he'd reveal a prophecy to someone, and I don't believe God takes his decisions to do things lightly. In other words, if God reveals a prophecy to you I'm sure he's prepared to give you evidence to act upon it. Otherwise there'd be no point in him revealing it to you.

Powemm, I just want to say one thing, that I'm not sure was addressed, although Zero and Ken may have addressed it. When reading scripture, never look at just one verse, always look for full context. That means, looks for verses before and after, to see if other scripture helps to explain it. Otherwise, you might be like the woman who opened the Bible found a verse that said "And Judas hanged himself." Closed it, open again and found another that said, "Go and do likewise."

i was just about to post to the first part, "it's whatever definition God tells you to put your faith in", but then I was going to add, I think you are called with a lot to share, deeper than most I have seen, and I have seen a lot. I am not sure about the venue, or how God will work it out. There is an inherent call in your visions that the Body of Christ is not hearing from anyone nationally or internationally at this point. Like a missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle for the upcoming generation. My post meant that I think you are called to be a mover and shaker in the Kingdom.

And ADHD is what teachers call it when they are tired of questions they can't answer from kids who are smarter than they are. It lets them drug the kids so they don't have to be bothered. [Okay, teachers, now you can all tell me I'm wrong about that. It was a little different when I was in school, but I saw it nonetheless. We didn't have drugs, but we did have punishment.]

Anyways, there has been about the same for that whole period counted year to year. About 15 if I remember correctly. I did the search about a year ago.
My wife and I used to argue about this all the time. I did the research and the math. And I found a book from 1860 or so that said that the massive increase of earthquakes then proved the second coming was just about to occur. There has been no increase in earthquakes at any time since records were first kept in maybe 300BC. We are getting better at reporting them, however. It did not impress her. Funny, it's irrelevant to her, as she is with Jesus now, and I'm still here to count earthquakes.
