Today's quake in Japan, the largest they have been hit with and the fifth largest in the last 100 years in the world, is making the point that the Bible is accurate in pointing to the soon coming of Jesus. The quakes and other natural and man made disasters will continue until man acknowledges his littleness. Then it will be that many will profess to serve God, but will not with the whole heart.

Compared to Haiti, Indonesia, and Japan, it seems rather insignificant, but not so.  Earthquakes in diverse places are being seen. It is not only the magnitude of quakes, but also the frequency and the wide geographical extent that reveals the fulfillment of prophecy telling us the end is near. Soon, none be parroting the claim that there are not more earthquakes now than in the past.  And soon, the claim that they are because of global warming, will end also. We know that the finger will soon be pointed to those who keep the commandments of God rather than the laws of man dictating the keeping of a man made day of worship. Many say this is impossible that those who keep the Bible Sabbath will never be persecuted, not in America.  The Bible says otherwise and the diversity of the earthquakes is evidence that this persecution is not far away.
