Earthquakes 60 earthquakes hit Alaska in 24 hours 14/6/06 Earthquake activity in the Pacific "ring of fire" seems to have dramatically increased this past 24 hours, with around 22 moderate sized (magnitude 4+) earthquakes being reported today so far. Over 60 earthquakes ranging from 2 and upwards on the Richter Scale have all been centred around Alaska. I don't know if this is considered normal or not, but compared to the number of earthquakes listed on the site over the past seven days, it seems phenomenal. Hot Java, anyone? Volcanic activity on Mount Merapi, on the island of Java has also increased, just days after the volcano alert level was lowered. The volcano is now spewing hot gas and clouds into the sky, forcing hundreds of people to flee for safety. Quote: "Hundreds of villagers, some of whom had only just returned from refugee camps, fled their homes on Merapi's slopes. Indonesian authorities again raised the volcano's alert level to its highest status, only a day after it was dropped. It will mean thousands have to be evacuated, a government scientist said. "The status was upgraded at 2 p.m. because of the increasing hot clouds," Triyani, an official at the state volcano monitoring centre, told Reuters news agency. Indonesia has experienced a high level of earthquake activity over the past couple of years. The island of Aceh has been hit numerous times since the major earthquake in December 2004 struck the island, which resulted in the deaths of over 250,000 people. Seismologists had hoped that the Asian earthquake, which was large enough to cause a wobble in earth's orbit, had released much of the pressure that had built up on the tectonic plates. It now appears that the pressure from that earthquake had simply been relocated, and scientists expect that it may be only a matter of time before a major quake hits a large population centre such as San Francisco, killing thousands of people. The Bible predicts that in the last days, the earth would be "moved out of its place", an apparent reference to the earthquake mentioned in Revelation, which is so powerful that it destroys all the great cities of earth (Revelation 16:18) Isaiah 24:18-20
And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
