To the Editor:
Jesus said, “Earthquakes in diverse places” is a sign of His soon return in Matthew 24. East Tennessee got hit with a 2.8 earthquake on January 19, 2020 and a 3.8 earthquake on January 20, 2020. East Tennessee in December 2018 got hit by 4.4 and 3.3 earthquakes, the strongest in 45 years. Also, Anchorage got hit with a damaging 7.0 earthquake. On November 11, 2018 a seismic mystery happened. Strange low frequency seismic waves ripped around the world and nobody knows why. It has never happened. Brent Miller Sr. at www.prophecywatchers.com studied all the 6.4 and higher earthquakes over the last 100 years and found they have skyrocketed just as the Bible said they would. Hebrews 12 says at the end times God is sending a shaking. The shaking is to awake people to the fact time is running out before the seven-year tribulation starts. After the tribulation Jesus rules the earth. 1 Peter 4 says, But the end of all things is at hand: therefore be ye sober (clear minded and self-controlled) and watch and pray. And above all things have love among yourselves!
Jesus also said in Matthew 24 there would be pestilences which we call deadly viruses. Ebola from Africa is deadly. The Coronavirus from China is a deadly virus and has just spread to America and is in the state of Washington. It would be a good idea to boost your immune system and have some anti-viral face mask to wear at home in case it spreads to Tennessee. If it spreads all masks could be sold out. Because of the spread of deadly viruses we have to control who comes into our country from other countries. The Bible also says we will see increasing volcanoes in the end days before the return of Jesus. Joel 2 and Acts 2 say, “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood (lava), and fire and pillars of smoke.” The Taal volcano in the Philippines just erupted and was so big it was seen from space satellites. Ancient people believed God used volcanoes to make more room in Hell for the large number of people that He knows will soon die. Volcanoes are proof humans have almost no control over or effect on the environment. One volcano eruption can do more damage and change the environment more than all humans could do in decade.
We know the Bible is true because the Bible is the only book with hundreds of correct predictions of the future. Isaiah 17:1 says Damascus, Syria will be destroyed. Prophecy experts say expect months of power outages, nuclear war and a pole shift during the tribulation. The magnetic north pole has just moved more than ever before and could mean the pole shift is coming. The Day of the Lord (tribulation) is mentioned in Isaiah 2. It’s the day when God shakes terribly the earth. When man shall be humbled and brought low and when God alone shall be exalted! C.S. Lewis said being humble in the Bible doesn’t mean thinking low of yourself but it means not thinking of yourself at all and being unselfish. Humble yourself now and “seek the Lord Jesus while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near!”
