Earthquake prediction: Seismic Window 3.19.11 - 3.26.11

In 1990, a scientist, Dr. Iben Browning, warned of an imminent earthquake along the New Madrid Fault.  The date he predicted came and went.  He was wrong and there was no quake.  He caused considerable alarm for people living around the fault, and even though folks scoffed at his inaccurate forecast, they actually were better for having prepared for it.  Why?  His prediction sparked dialogue around their preparedness.  They didn't want to take any chances with their families, so in order to protect them, they all geared up and made sure they had disaster supplies on hand.  In the final analysis, Iben Browning forced everyone to personally think about experiencing an earthquake... just in case.

I believe we are living in a time that is forcing everyone to think about things we probably scoffed about in the past.  "Breaking News" seems to occur almost every day.  It's not just the heart-breaking earthquake we witnessed in Japan, it's the frequency and magnitude of the earthquakes and tsunamis that we are witnessing daily on the nightly news. It's the unholy hatred the world seems to be developing toward the nation Israel because they refuse to divide and give up the land God promised to them.  The past few weeks we began witnessing the upheaval of many Muslim nations in the Middle East.  Stories abound about the declining global economy, overwhelming national debt and talk about the formation of a cashless society.  People who have never talked about Bible prophecies are suddenly quoting the Book of Revelation, and wondering if the "Beginning of the Birth Pains" spoken of by Jesus have begun.  Why?  They want to be able to protect their family and loved ones... just in case.

This week another scientist, Jim Berkland, has joined Iben Browning in the earthquake predicting past time. His credentials?  For starters he predicted the "World Series" earthquake of 1989.  Not too shabby.  Dr. Berkland now has my attention.   These two videos explain his distinctive pattern of prediction which hinges on changes in magnetic fields, gravitational tidal pulls of the moon and planets, dead fish, beached whales and the equinox.  Check out these videos on future earthquakes along the Ring of Fire.

Earthquake Prediction 2011 Jim Berkland - A Major Earthquake in North America Imminent

Earthquake Prediction - California - Fox News - 2011

The primary reason I am bringing this up ... he is predicting a major quake will occur in the upcoming "Seismic Window" which is Saturday March 19, 2011 through Saturday March 26.  Right or wrong, forewarned is forearmed.

No question, the Bible says they are going to be more earthquakes as we approach Jesus' coming.

Matthew 24:7-8 There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.

Mark 13:8 There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

So, let's deal with the earthquake thing first.  How do we prepare?  Below are a couple of sites that can help you prepare for a disaster.

Red Cross Store: Emergency Preparedness Kit

Earthquakes:  Are You Ready?

As I reviewed all the necessities in these disaster kits, I thought of one additional item they did not mention...  a Bible.  If we are approaching the End Times a literal translation of the Bible is a must.  It will serve you in many different ways.  First, it will provide you with the road map to get you to the final destination, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ!  And as you read the prophetic books/passages (e.g. Daniel, Ezekiel 38-39, Joel, Zephaniah, Zechariah, Matthew 24, Luke 21, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, Revelation) take them as literally as you can.  Don't try to allegorize them, Let them stand on their own.  In the long run, that approach will serve you best.  If someone tells you that God didn't mean what He said, ask them "Then why didn't He say what He meant?" Trust me, He said exactly what He meant, and when the time comes, we will realize His Word is "truly" spot on!

Blessings,
