Revelation 6:12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
“Not dead yet.”
That was phrase used by U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Susan Hough in a study published in the journal Science saying the major fault in the middle of the United States is still open to a major earthquake.
The New Madrid Fault Zone covers parts of seven states: Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee.
The study was in response to studies claiming the fault was dying down and that any seismic actions were aftershocks or results of the major 1811-1812 earthquakes that devastated the central Mississippi River valley. The fault is considered to be less understood than other major faults because unlike those faults, it is located in the middle of a continent away from plate edges.
Hough and a USGS geophysicist analyzed past quakes in the New Madrid region and through computer modeling determined they are not related to the big quakes 200 years ago.
The USGS estimates a 7 to 10 percent chance of a 7.0 or greater earthquake in the region within the next 50 years.
There is no doubt that our nations current policies in the middle east and concerning Israel have caused the protecting cover of God’s blessing and favor to be removed from our nations lands, our governmental processes and the people that don’t know the Lord Jesus as Savior. The weather patterns, collapsing economy, the seemingly uncontrollable violence, the elected government’s abuse of our laws and people point to real and dangerous times that are upon each of us even now. The “shaking” has only begun in the things we see and experience in our daily lives. Soon the very earth with quake and life and liberty as we know it in our beloved America will forever be gone. Thanks Jim and Lori for being true to the calling of God upon you and your ministry. God Bless America, land of the free and home of the brave. The Madrid fault line may split our country and forever change our lives, however, our resolve as believers in Christ must never waver, that is our blessed hope…HOPE- Holding On Patiently Expecting, watching and waiting, Jesus is coming soon!
We went to Morningside church today and what a blessing!!!
Next week is Easter Sunday, don’t miss it.
Easter egg hunt after with candy and prizes for the kids;
but for you a great message from an inspired messenger.
If you are reading this you should go.
Thank you for the blessings of your programs. Happy Birthday! Grandma Maxine. I am 2 yrs. 5 days younger than Jim Bakker.
Can’t wait to buy a copy of updated “I Was Wrong”. My middle daughter received Christ as Saviour @ end of an hour sermon on Sunday afternoon TV, Feb. 18, 1979@ age 3. She graduated ORU May 1997. I believe I saw you there, Jim.
I am presently believing God for healing of severe arthritis in hips and lower back. Exodus 15:26 “I Am the LORD that healeth thee!” is what the Spirit spoke to my mind 2 Sundays ago. Last Sunday I was able to stand during praise & worship for the first time in months. The pain is almost gone when lying down & sitting. PTL!
I am still not grey haired yet & am Esther Louise 5 on Twitter. Thanks for yours & Lori’ & Zach’s Twitters.
I so enjoy your programs. Shalom!
I believe it will still happen not from a scientific point of view, but from what USA is doing with hte peace treaty in Israel.
