Mega Quake Broke All Records

Even the atheists must be wondering what is going on with all the strange weather, quakes, droughts, etc...

And then we read a headline like this;
Indian Ocean's 2012 mega-quake broke the records

An 8.7 earthquake that struck west of Indonesia on April 11 was the biggest of its kind ever recorded and confirms suspicions that a giant tectonic plate is breaking up, scientists said.

The quake, caused by an unprecedented quadruple-fault rupture, gave Earth's crustal mosaic such a shock that it unleashed quakes around the world nearly a week later, they said yesterday.

"We've never seen an earthquake like this," said Keith Koper, a geophysicist at the University of Utah in the western United States.

"Nobody was anticipating an earthquake of this size and type, and the complexity of the faulting surprised everybody I've spoken to about this," said Thorne Lay, a planetary sciences professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

The quake occurred around 500 kilometres west of Sumatra in the middle of the Indo-Australian plate, a piece of Earth's crust that spans Australia, the eastern Indian Ocean and the Indian sub-continent.

It was initially reported as measuring 8.6 on the "Moment magnitude" scale.

But a new calculation places it at 8.7, which under this logarithmic scale means the energy release is 40 percent greater than thought, according to investigations published in Nature.

It was the biggest "strike-slip" earthquake ever recorded, meaning a fault which opens laterally rather than up or down, and the 10th biggest quake of any kind in the last century.

Let me restate the bold comments above....'biggest of its kind EVER recorded'....'unprecedented quadruple fault rupture'...'nobody was anticipating a quake of this size'....'the biggest strike-slip quake EVER recorded'.  Does it sound like these scientists were impressed with the magnitude of this quake??

Of course we know there is a bigger earthquake coming.  In fact it will be the biggest earthquake to EVER happen.

Revelation 16

¹⁸ Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. ¹⁹ The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. ²⁰ Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. ²¹ From the sky huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds, fell on people. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.

All of these rumbling earthquakes and volcanoes are simply the birth pangs for a massive quake that no one on earth would ever believe possible.  It will be so large that the cities around the world will simply collapse.

Who can even imagine the coming wrath of God?

Thank you Jesus for saving us from this coming time of trial.
