we get earthquakes regularly in nz as on the pacific rim/fault line.

I havent been in one, but I would be concerned if buildings werent built to standard in event of earthquake in major towns and cities. CTV building did collapse and kill the most people in the christchurch earthquake and it was found not to be building code compliant.

shittim, do you regularly monitor earthquakes round the world or what.
Is it like tornado chasing?

My dad is constantly looking at the computer rain radar, but I tend to just look out the window. If its wet, its raining. hallelujah.

No I don't regularly, I am aware of the scripture and how He has instructed us to " watch therefore and wait" as the times advance to fulfillment.
We had a big one in Alaska in the 70's we felt here in the midwest of the U.S.A. and there have been others where you could feel it and my others windchimes sounded above the kitchen sink with no breeze.
Supposedly we are way past due for one here, the New Madrid Fault, when the last time the Mississippi River ran backwards for 3 days filling what is now Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee.

not that I am aware of, of course I don't expect msm to cover anything that doesn't disparage President Trump.

Actually, the dem's might try to blame the quake on Trump, as being the one who caused it. :rolleyes:

grr why does EVERYTHING have to do with trump
he is not god.

I think ppl give him way too much credit. He is just a man that was in a high position for a few years. Now youve got another one. I really do not think presidents or former ones cause earthquakes.

I think that scripture was for Jerusalem so maybe you wanna focus on that area.

I dont know if Israel has had many earthquakes recently....

No, he's not god, but, he is God fearing, supports Israel, was the only president who did not sign the waiver and thereby recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. He was for the people and by the people. He upheld the constitution. He was doing good things for the country and that without any of their help. The democrat's gave him no peace for his entire term and it wasn't based on his performance. They just plain hated him and that because he was a 'for the people and by the people' president."

The one that is in there now is not for the people and by the people. Neither does he and his comrades care about the constitution. He and they do not support Israel. Where Trump cut taxes, Biden is raising them. Where Trump was bringing back manufacturing jobs to America, Biden wants outsource to China. Biden is already destroying American jobs.

oh ok but an earthquake really has nothing to do with this guy!

plus didnt the american people vote for biden who got in this time. didnt he just get more votes than trump, or is that not how it works.

Your country is messed up, but deal with it. rather than go on moaning about it.

We know God raises up and takes down rulers, the election was stolen.
We know we are required to pray without ceasing for his perfect will, His perfect will is the Justice be done, remember from Micah? "Seek justice, love mercy, walk humbly with your God"
we know these groaning in the earth are a part of the coming fulfilment.
We will 'watch therefore and wait" .

You probably want to keep an eye on whats going on in Jesus city of choice, Jerusalem, rather than speculate of what is or isnt causing earthquakes anywhere else.

govts cant really do much to stop earthquakes, the thing is what they do in the aftermath of them...the emergency response, insurance, any rebuilding etc.

Biden did not win power – he stole it by coup d’etat.
Biden couldn't get 30 people to attend a rally.
The scale of the fraud to install a criminally deviant regime with zero legitimacy is historic.

You are missing the overall point, God is in control, not governments, His plan to redeem mankind and His world is proceeding, as mentioned previously and often, we are to keep our minds stayed on Him.

The worst earthquake I've been in was on 1954 Dec 21, a 6.5 magnitude quake, and that was strong enough!

one thing you can do though, is make sure your own buidlings or any property is sound. Church buildings etc have undergone earthquake strengthening.

They are also the first to respond to civil emergencies. So make sure you are disaster ready, or have at least a plan in place. when water and sewagerage and electricity is disrupted, you need alternatives that are also safe and sanitary,

Yeah, I know. It was a joke because the dem's blamed everything on Trump. And no, the American people did not vote for Biden. They rigged the election with their own Biden ballots. In a couple of locations they stopped the ballot counting and told the Republican monitors to leave the building so that they could no longer monitor the ballots. They blamed everything that the BLM and Antifa did on Trump, when they were the one's behind it. Those democratic run cities stood down while they looted, burned and cause anarchy and then they blamed it on Trump. Anybody who thinks that was a fair election is blind! The democrats did everything that they could to keep Trump from being reelected. As far as I am concerned, all of the dem's involved are domestic enemies of the United States of America and it's people and should be prosecuted.

God laughs at mans plans, there have been earthquakes where the code compliant buildings failed because the quake generated forces that were not planned in the design criteria. Carnal Christians, if they can be truly Christian at all, look at it from that viewpoint.
