Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami

I'm sure the day the earth quaked in Japan was like any other day when the people of Japan got up that morning.  Little did they know this would be the day they would experience the worst natural disaster in their lives.  First the Earthquake 8.9, then the Tsunami, then the Nuclear meltdown happened.


Let us remember this day, March 11, 2011 when Northeastern Japan was struck by one of the most powerful earthquakes in recorded history – magnitude 8.9 on the Richter scale. Thousands are feared dead and hundreds of thousands have been displaced. 

This event is just another contraction in the earth, like birth pangs, as a sign of epic proportion.  

Birth pangs, in terms of Bible Prophecy, refers to certain convulsive geopolitical, geophysical, astrophysical and world-wide socio-economic events and issues scheduled to occur in the time leading up to Jesus Christ's Second Advent (second coming). These are likened to the contractions experienced by a woman about to give birth, with those episodes increasing with frequency and intensity. Jesus' foretelling of these birth pangs use the word "sorrows," on end time things to come --  check out the rest on their website: http://www.raptureready.com/abc/birth_pangs.html 

People, the clock is ticking, the countdown already begun 2,000 years ago.  The beginning of sorrows are like contractions and have been coming harder and harder recently in the last several years and with more intensity.  The birth of a new beginning is fast approaching, are you ready?  

"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." (Luke 21: 8-11, 25-28)  

In the meantime, we reach out and help where we can and pray for these people in Japan and other places that are suffering now as a result.  Give from the heart.  Help meet urgent needs by donating to World Vision Canada or by calling 1-866-595-5550.
