Various Places

Jesus tells us that one of the birth pangs of his pending return will be earthquakes in various places. I would say Illinois, USA is a "various place". Also, while I'm thinking of it, National Geographic is starting a series on PBS called "Strange Times for Planet Earth". Interesting that even the secular media knows that a series of very unusual events is taking place. For Christians who understand prophecy, it's not strange times but exciting times.
