Earth Quakes

And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. (Isaiah 2:19)

The EQ in VA and DC has left everyone shaken. Throughout my life I've paid attention to Richter scale reports. Usually I've regarded the 7.0 and higher to be huge tremors. The quake that hit Japan just last year for example was a horrific 9.0. You remember scenes from that unforgettable tragedy. The quake that devastated Haiti lasted mere seconds and was only a 7.0 quake.

There is always talk about the shifting of tectonic plates and edging faults. Californians are all too familiar with the San Andrea fault and the constant threat of the west coast slipping into the Pacific.

However, it hit me like an earthquake just after I saw video of the DC/ VA quake, God will not need tectonic plates, faults or any other such thing to bring the house down. DC shook slightly for seconds and now there's a show stopping crack, in of all places, the WASHINGTON MONUMENT! How could it be??

Imagine the scene when God's wrath really lets lose! You won't want to be there. Some of you will be but you won't want to be. Think about it.

My recent sickness has left me pensive. I had been at the gym for about six months. I was in the best shape I'd been in for years. I was feeling great and then my own personal EQ hit. It was a microscopic blip on the Richter scale. A microbe entered my bloodstream and brought my house crashing down.

The event left me thinking about what men value and how tender we really are. A germ makes my body quake and my temp rises a mere two degrees and I'm in bed for days. It might be a guy thing but it is not a pretty sight.

One day real soon the world as we know it is going to come apart. I remember visiting Mount Rushmore years ago and seeing the National Park's video presentation of how the memorial was constructed. One phrase of that show stuck with me, “Gutzon Borglum put an extra 12 inches on George Washington's nose so that he will last an extra 20,000 years!”

I think that the nose will be one of the first things to go when God gets mad. In fact all of the idols of man's “ingenuity” are going to come down in a flash. It'll be over in seconds. All of our genius sprawled on the ground and washed into the sea. Do you think that all of this is really going to happen? Well think again. It is. It is a done deal coming soon to a neighborhood near you. You’d better get ready.
