Oklahoma Earthquake

It seems an earthquake rattled OK and some other states yesterday.

One of the strongest earthquakes recorded in Oklahoma rattled parts of five states Wednesday and left two people with minor injuries.

The earthquake struck at 9:06 a.m. about six miles east of Norman in Cleveland County, sharply shaking portions of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. The U.S. Geological Survey estimated the magnitude to be 4.3, but research seismologist Austin Holland said the Oklahoma Geological Survey measured it at 5.1. The higher figure would make Wednesday's temblor the second-strongest here since records began.

"I thought something bad happened at the stadium," said petroleum engineering student Travis Johnson, who was working at the football stadium when the quake hit. "I never thought it would happen here."

"The stuff on the wall shook. The dogs took off barking," Baxter said. "I thought the world was coming to an end, to be honest. It was pretty trippy."

Did you catch a few of those quotes...."I never thought it would happen here," and "I thought the world was coming to an end...."

Jesus talks about what the condition will be like before he comes to rapture the church and withdraw the Holy Spirit from earth..."As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away." Matthew 24:37-39

"I never thought it would happen here"....I'm sure many were saying that when it started to rain and they all started pounding on the door to the ark.

Jesus said that one of the signs that the end of the age is close would be earthquakes. He said we will HEAR of earthquakes in various places. Norman, OK sure qualifies as a "various" place.

Just a thought....I wonder if this rattling has something to do with the fact that we are pressuring Israel to give up land to terrorists in exchange for a bogus peace? I wonder if we continue pressuring and ultimately end up forcing a split of Israel....if God may split us in half with a huge quake along the New Madrid fault? It sure seems to be trembling as we speak.
